Hua Ling looked at Su Wenyuan, coughed heavily, and kept giving her meaningful glances.
Su Wenyuan excused herself by saying she was a little tired and asked Yuexiu to take the imperial physician downstairs for a cup of tea.
When the imperial physician arrived, he didn't examine the patient or take her pulse; he just listened to Su Wenyuan's questions. They could naturally understand what Su Wenyuan wanted to do.
They simply wanted to extract information from them.
The imperial physician had nothing to hide from these words; he had wanted to say them for a long time, but couldn't find anyone to tell.
With the Empress and Imperial Concubines gone, and the Crown Prince also gone, the only one who can speak to the Emperor now is Sheng Jingyu.
Even if Su Wenyuan doesn't call them today, they will still tell Sheng Jingyu if they find evidence in a couple of days.
The Emperor has been completely bewitched by those two, and I wonder if there's anything wrong with the medicine he's been taking lately.
They dared not speak directly to the Emperor, fearing his wrath and the loss of their lives.
After everyone left, Su Wenyuan asked Hua Ling helplessly, "Could you have made it any more obvious?"
The way those eyes blinked practically screamed "Something's wrong!"
Hua Ling chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you won't understand."
"Are you saying that the elixir is poisonous?"
Hua Ling nodded. "Not only that, I also want to go to the palace to take a look, but the Emperor only trusts those two and may not let me see him. Since you invited the imperial physician back to your residence, can I sneak in?"
Hua Ling interrupted their conversation in an attempt to sneak into the palace.
Fearing that if she spoke too late, Su Wenyuan would let the person go.
"Will that work? It's too dangerous to sneak into the palace. Whether the Emperor lives or dies is up to him, but you have to stay alive. I'll ask him about the Emperor's symptoms later, and you can make a judgment based on their descriptions."
"If we can't figure it out, then forget it. He's destined for a calamity." Su Wenyuan made the decision directly.
Even if Sheng Jingyu knew about this, she wouldn't agree, so it's better to just give up on the idea from her.
While moved, Hua Ling was also a little anxious, and quickly explained, "I don't just want to see the Emperor, I also want to see how they refine elixirs."
"His Majesty trusts them so much. I wonder if there's something wrong with the medicine, or if he's simply been misled by their words. The latter doesn't matter, but if it's the former, then that's quite interesting!"
Hua Ling is interested in medicine!
From the moment the emperor first met them to the moment he placed his complete trust in them, it didn't take long.
Hua Ling couldn't learn from their skill in coaxing and deceiving, but she could learn from their ability to use certain drugs.
"Have you heard of this kind of bewitching drug?" Su Wenyuan asked curiously.
Hua Ling thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of them, but they're all just rumors and not credible. I haven't heard any credible stories yet. I'll go and see for myself."
“Oh…” Su Wenyuan drawled out, then, under Hua Ling’s expectant gaze, coldly uttered, “No way.”
Regardless of what kind of bewitching they used, the emperor trusts them anyway.
Hua Ling still wants to secretly learn it, but if she doesn't understand it, she'll risk her life.
Su Wenyuan summoned Yuexiu and asked her to bring out the imperial physician again.
Another bunch of questions, none of which were related to Su Wenyuan's health.
Finally, she said to Hua Ling, "Make up a minor illness for me so they can report back."
Other actors are meticulous in their performances, leaving no room for error. Su Wenyuan's performance was full of loopholes, and she didn't even bother to hide it, offering only a perfunctory explanation.
When Sheng Jingyu returned, Hua Ling was still discussing things with Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan finally saw her savior; she had never seen Hua Ling so proactive before.
He's incredibly persistent when faced with things he doesn't understand.
Sheng Jingyu's answer was the same as Su Wenyuan's: No, the palace is too dangerous.
"The people in the palace will keep an eye on things for you, and any news will be sent back."
"Is it really necessary? I used to be able to sneak in." Hua Ling didn't understand.
Su Wenyuan said, "As for the Emperor's unstable emotions, it's better to be cautious."
The Emperor didn't pay much attention to the imperial physician's visit to Prince Chen's residence; he was simply happy for nothing.
What truly matters are people like Nian Huaizhong and others.
Inviting the imperial physician to the residence must mean they noticed something was wrong with the emperor. I wonder if Su Wenyuan is going to cause trouble again and ruin their plans?
The group gathered together to discuss the matter, while behind them came the screams of Su Yuan and Su Xian, though the sounds were much quieter than when they first arrived.
His throat was hoarse from shouting, and his voice was cracking; it sounded like he wouldn't live much longer.
"The Emperor trusts the two of them very much. Although the medicine was a bit too much and made the Emperor look a little abnormal, no one can do anything to them right now."
"Yes, the Emperor can't live without it. He will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath if he stops taking the medicine. Even if someone jumps out to remonstrate with him to the death, the Emperor will not kill them. Besides, there are no loyal ministers in the court."
As the old man sighed, the group talked until their eyes all fell on him.
Those two imperial physicians should have gradually gained the emperor's trust and done so discreetly to prevent outsiders from suspecting anything.
But the opportunity was too good to pass up, so they got a little impatient.
In addition, the few people who could directly attack them were all dead, such as the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and the Crown Prince.
If even one of these people were alive, they wouldn't dare to be so bold.
They were all dead, and they felt that no one would dare to go over the emperor's head and attack them directly.
Besides Sheng Jingyu...
However, Sheng Jingyu had already sensed something and had some doubts, otherwise he would not have invited the imperial physician back to the mansion for questioning.
They wouldn't have so many complaints if it were just Sheng Jingyu alone, but there's also Su Wenyuan behind him.
Among them, only Nian Huaizhong knew Su Wenyuan, and it was he who had previously defended Su Wenyuan in various ways.
What should we do about this?
“In his desperation, Prince Chen dared to bypass the Emperor and kill someone directly. Once that person is dead, even if the Emperor trusts them, it will be useless.”
