Seeing the chubby orange tree deep in thought, Sun Miaoqing knew there was definitely a chance. Any emperor with ambition would care about his reputation before and after his death.
[The reputation of the "Big Fat Orange" has been smeared beyond belief by his political enemies.]
[Even though there was an imperial edict in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese authorizing the chubby prince to succeed to the throne, rumors spread that he had usurped the throne from the fourteenth prince.]
[What do you mean by passing the throne to the fourteenth son or the fourth son? Simplified Chinese characters hadn't even appeared yet, and the character '于' didn't look like that!]
[They even spread rumors that the fat orange cat couldn't have children, that he cheated on her to get the throne, and that someone from another family would ultimately win the throne.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, how tragic... They extended the Qing Dynasty's life by so many years.]
The chubby orange cat was so angry it almost couldn't catch its breath, and it glared back, its eyes wide. Luckily, it was sitting in a chair with something supporting its back, so it didn't fall to the ground.
Sun Miaoqing and Su Peisheng were so shocked that they screamed, and the room was instantly thrown into chaos.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"What's going on? What's this?"
Su Peisheng shouted, "Summon the imperial physician! Quickly, fetch the imperial physician!"
Sun Miaoqing said, "Please wait, sir!"
She suddenly remembered that in the drama, Da Pang Ju fell ill while staying with An Lingrong, and the Empress Dowager felt it was An Lingrong's fault and was determined to find out.
It was only after Su Peisheng explained that it was Zhen Huan's birthday that the Empress Dowager finally let it go.
The fat orange suddenly fell ill in her Chuxiu Palace. The Empress Dowager had always disliked her, so it would be strange if she didn't take this opportunity to deal with her!
Faced with Su Peisheng and the others' confusion, Sun Miaoqing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is responsible for the fate of the nation. It would be better to be cautious to avoid causing turmoil in the court and the harem."
Su Peisheng didn't dare to make a decision on his own, but Sun Miaoqing's words made sense; it was just a matter of what if something went wrong...
Seeing Su Peisheng's hesitation, Sun Miaoqing knew that he was worried that if the Empress Dowager found out, he would be in deep trouble.
"Linglan, go to the Imperial Hospital and fetch the imperial physician. Tell him that I have suddenly fallen ill, understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Su Peisheng gritted his teeth, "Xiaxia, you come too."
Xiazi replied, "Yes, Master."
The two of them hurriedly ran outside. It wasn't good for the Emperor to look like this; they had to hurry!
*
Unaware of the situation with the large orange cat, the group dared not move. Liuli and Qiangwei stayed outside, restraining the people from Chuxiu Palace and preventing them from approaching.
The wait for the imperial physician to arrive was truly an incredibly long one.
Su Peisheng said, "Your Majesty, this servant believes that we should inform the Empress Dowager about this matter."
Although the Empress Dowager was somewhat biased, she was still the Emperor's biological mother. Furthermore, if something were to happen to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager would still be the one to intervene in matters concerning the court and the harem for the sake of legitimacy.
Sun Miaoqing said, "I understand what Eunuch Su means. The Empress Dowager will definitely be informed."
"But does Eunuch Su feel closer to his son or his grandson?"
Su Peisheng's heart nearly jumped out of his chest upon hearing this!
How can you just say such things so casually! Consort Cheng must be out of her mind! Even if she thinks this way, she can't actually say it out loud!
At this moment, Su Peisheng wished he were deaf, so that everything would be alright!
Sun Miaoqing looked at the fat orange cat with a worried expression and said, "In the end, I am the emperor's concubine, so naturally I must prioritize the emperor's safety in everything I do."
Big Fat Orange's eyelashes fluttered, as if it were about to wake up. Seeing this, Sun Miaoqing rushed to Big Fat Orange's side, calling out with concern, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas; they can even bring a vegetable back to life!
"They're here! The imperial physician is here!"
Xiaxiazi pulled Physician Lu in quickly, while Linglan lagged a few steps behind, catching up breathlessly.
As soon as Su Peisheng saw the imperial physician arrive, he immediately pulled the imperial physician, who was about to bow, to Da Pangju's side.
"Imperial Physician, forget about these formalities and quickly examine the Emperor. What's wrong with him?"
Only then did Physician Lu realize that when he was pulled over earlier, they were talking about Consort Cheng's sudden illness.
As a result, they rushed to Chuxiu Palace, where Consort Cheng was sitting perfectly fine, while the one who had gotten into trouble became the emperor.
The shocks that Physician Lu has experienced in the past few months since entering the palace are greater than those he has experienced in the previous decades.
Not daring to ask why, Physician Lu took the emperor's pulse and examined his symptoms, and then discovered that the emperor was completely ill from anger!
I just don't know what could have made the Emperor so angry.
Physician Lu couldn't help but glance at Consort Cheng beside him. Could it be that the Emperor had discovered what had happened before?
Sun Miaoqing said, "Why are you looking at me? Look at the Emperor!"
"Imperial Physician Lu, what's wrong with His Majesty? He was fine just now, but suddenly he couldn't catch his breath and fell backward."
Physician Lu took out a snuff bottle and said, "Your Majesty, based on the pulse and the Emperor's symptoms, it is caused by sudden internal heat attacking the heart."
"Place this snuff bottle under His Majesty's nose, and he will awaken upon smelling it. I will also prescribe a decoction to clear heat, reduce inflammation, soothe the liver, and relieve exterior symptoms. He will recover in five days."
"Just remember to let the Emperor rest well these next few days and do not let him get angry again."
After a designated eunuch smelled it and confirmed it was harmless, Su Peisheng placed it under the big fat orange's nose.
Sure enough, after being exposed to this strong and unique aroma, the chubby orange cactus snapped out of its daze.
