1623**, the Emperor is mighty
The valley master and Guo Baoji successfully introduced the poisonous insect to the emperor. Although the emperor was stabbed, it was not fatal. He just couldn't speak. Under the effect of the valley master's effective medicine, the emperor woke up that night.
The moment he woke up, the emperor was stunned for a moment: "Old Nine didn't do anything?"
The emperor opened his eyes wide, somewhat incredulous, and called the imperial physician to examine him. Only after confirming that everything was alright did he let the physician leave.
Is he judging others by his own mean standards?
No! The emperor shook his head quickly. Dong Lingjiu was definitely not a good person. He couldn't just do nothing. He couldn't be so kind as to let him live well, especially after Feng Qingchen was assassinated.
So the Ninth Prince was afraid? Was he afraid that he would not have a good ending after his death?
This is not without reason. Although his summoning of the three ministers to the palace was a secret, the Ninth Prince could also guess something, and he would certainly not dare to act rashly.
The emperor thought about it and came up with this only reason. In order to confirm his guess, the emperor not only summoned the imperial physician, but also invited prestigious doctors from the public to come to the palace to examine his body.
After checking again and again, the emperor could not find any problem with his health. The emperor thought about it and thought that there was only that possibility. As for other reasons, the emperor could not think of them for a while...
"Your Majesty, you have just recovered. Doctor Guo said that you should rest well during this period and not worry too much." The eunuch saw that the emperor was worried and whispered: "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, it is important to take care of your health."
The emperor nodded, and just as he was about to lie down, another eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong wants to see you."
"No..." The emperor refused to see her without a second thought, but then he changed his mind and let Concubine Rong in. No matter what, he had to give some face to Concubine Rong's family.
The concubines in the harem were inseparable from the previous dynasty. During this period, many concubines were harmed by the Xie family. Those who were pregnant had miscarriages or gave birth to stillbirths. Concubine Rong was one of them.
The emperor still needs to use the fathers and brothers of these concubines, so he should give them some face.
Concubine Rong stayed in the emperor's bedroom, taking care of him all night. Although she didn't do anything, it was enough to make the concubines in the harem jealous.
Concubine Rong was the first person to seek an audience with the emperor, but she was definitely not the last one. It was as if the concubines in the harem had made an appointment. One of them came to see the emperor every day and would stay for most of the day, or even the whole night.
At first, it was fine. The concubines knew that the emperor was recovering from illness and could not do anything. But when the emperor's complexion became better and better, the concubines could not sit still. A bold concubine directly seduced the emperor...
The emperor's injury was in his throat. Apart from being unable to speak temporarily, he was no different from an ordinary person. He was even more energetic than an ordinary person. The concubine only made a few provocative moves and the emperor reacted, pulling the concubine directly onto the dragon bed.
The emperor is not young anymore, and in the past he was willing but unable to deal with these young concubines. But maybe it was because he had abstained for too long or something, but that night the emperor showed his prowess very well, and the young concubine was tormented to death by him, but he still didn't feel tired.
When the emperor woke up in the morning, he was full of energy, but the concubine was carried out listlessly. The emperor was very happy and went to handle government affairs with a rosy face, looking a lot younger.
The chief eunuch felt vaguely uneasy, so when the imperial physician came to take the emperor's pulse, he mentioned it secretly. The imperial physician made a careful diagnosis but could not find the cause of the illness. He only said that the emperor's health was much better than last year.
The emperor felt the deepest about his body, as it was his own. He had been reviewing memorials all day. In the past, the emperor would have been so tired that he would only have the energy to eat, but today he only felt slightly tired.
This went on for several days in a row, and combined with the diagnosis of the imperial physician, the emperor was certain that he was in good health and had no less energy than a young man.
The emperor kept the concubines in bed for several nights, and even had sex with them all night. And for some reason, although he used to feel good when having sex with the concubines, he would feel listless after doing it. But recently, the emperor found that he was not tired, but even more energetic.
Is it possible to replenish yang by taking yin after being poisoned by a poisonous insect?
The news about the Emperor reached the ears of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen one by one. Seeing the Emperor's suicidal behavior, Feng Qingchen shook his head: "He had sex with three women in one night, one for each woman, which means three times. The Emperor is really powerful, he is not afraid of dying in a woman's belly."
In fact, when the master of the valley treated the emperor, he really wanted to get better, but the effect of the medicine was a little stronger. As long as the emperor cultivated himself well, he could live another 30 years in good health, but the emperor was restless and wanted to die.
"You shouldn't say such things." The Ninth Prince knocked Feng Qingchen on the head.
"I've told you not to hit your head, or you'll become stupid." Feng Qingchen rubbed his head and rolled his eyes at the Ninth Prince. "Why shouldn't you say something like that? I'm evaluating the Emperor's behavior from a doctor's perspective. If the Emperor indulges in sex too much like this, he'll die in bed sooner or later. If the world knows that the Emperor of Dongling died in a woman's belly, it would be a huge disgrace."
"With the imperial physician watching him every day, the emperor won't die so easily." The Ninth Prince was speechless at Feng Qingchen's outspokenness. Feng Qingchen didn't even consider herself a woman, so the Ninth Prince had to pretend he didn't hear anything.
Feng Qingchen shook his head and sighed. It was good to have a professional medical team. Even if he went through this, he wouldn't die.
"If this continues, how long can the emperor jump around?" Feng Qingchen asked.
"One month at most." The Ninth Prince had thoroughly experienced the methods used by those women in the harem to win favor. It was estimated that few men could refuse.
When the emperor didn't have the ability before, facing this group of beautiful girls was absolutely a torment, but now the emperor is like a fish in water.
"One month? Then we have to let the Valley Master and Doctor Guo leave quickly, lest the Emperor vent His anger on them." The Valley Master used medicine on the Emperor with the finest herbs from Yuhua and Lanzhi. It would be difficult for the Emperor to die. At most he would have a convulsion or be paralyzed in bed. The Emperor would still have the strength to order someone to be arrested by then.
"In two days, when the emperor's voice can be spoken and he has fully recovered, let them bid farewell to him." At that time, the emperor had no reason to refuse.
Although Guo Baoji and the Valley Master could not stay in Dongling to serve the emperor, they did cure the emperor's illness. In order to maintain a good relationship with them, the emperor would not kill Guo Baoji and the Valley Master.
Feng Qingchen nodded. It would be great if the Valley Master and his men could leave this cannibalistic place. It would be safer and freer to stay in Jiangnan than in the Imperial City.
"By the way, what did the emperor say about the King of Jiangnan? He only summoned back the generals sent by the Xie family, but did not withdraw the imperial edict. The emperor won't really want to kill the King of Jiangnan, right?" If the King of Jiangnan died, the area of Jiangnan would not be peaceful again. They have been running Jiangnan for so long, Feng Qingchen really couldn't bear to destroy it.
“Don’t worry, the emperor will not take the life of King Jiangnan. The emperor is safe now, and he will soon take action against the Xie family, and then we can put the blame on the Xie family. If the emperor dies, King Jiangnan will be the next heir to the throne, and the imperial edict will naturally be invalid.” The emperor has tolerated the Xie family for so long, and he has reached his limit.
If the emperor hadn't been unable to speak, he would have appeared in front of all the officials and taken action against the Xie family and the court once again.
