Hearing this, the queen was shocked and immediately went to the inner hall.
An Zhaoyi's face was filled with surprise and a subtle panic. She ignored Huo Wuyou's attempt to stop her and hurried into the inner hall.
The emperor was seen half lying down, his heavy eyelids slowly opening and closing, making people feel as if he was about to faint in the next moment.
The Queen sat down beside the couch, her face etched with anxiety. She rebuked Sui Yunlang, "This concerns your Majesty's health. It's a serious matter. Stop talking nonsense!"
Sui Yunlang shuddered and knelt hurriedly, "I dare not! Your Majesty's symptoms are very similar to those of a patient I have seen before. Otherwise, how could I dare to jump to conclusions!"
An Zhaoyi's eyes trembled. "Are you saying that someone poisoned Your Majesty? Your Majesty's food and drink must be tested for poison. Who would have the opportunity to do so?" Turning to the emperor, she said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this person is just making up stories to gain credit!"
She glanced at Huo Wuyou and said, "Your Majesty, I am truly curious as to why the Marquis of Lin'an would use this person of unknown origin to treat Your Majesty."
But Huo Wuyou just said calmly: "Uncle, this doctor is not a wandering doctor. He used to work in the Imperial Hospital."
The emperor looked at Sui Yunlang with gloomy eyes and said "oh" softly.
Huo Wuyou just said, "When Sui Yunlang was young, he was selected to be a doctor in the Imperial Hospital because of his extraordinary talent in medical skills. Seven years ago, it was you, my uncle, who recommended several doctors from the Imperial Hospital to accompany the army, and Sui Yunlang was one of them. His name must be on the Imperial Hospital's long-term register."
The emperor blinked slowly, thinking about this matter. His face was now gloomy, and his former majesty had been greatly weakened by his illness. After a moment, he said, "It seems so."
An Zhaoyi's heart grew increasingly anxious, but she dared not show it at all: "But even so..."
"Let him try." The emperor interrupted her suddenly.
"Your Majesty?!" The Queen and Concubine An exclaimed almost at the same time.
The emperor coughed repeatedly, his throat gurgling with phlegm. "The Imperial Hospital has been treating me with great care for days, but to no avail. They can't even pinpoint the cause. It's truly useless. Should I continue to place my hopes on them?"
Looking at all this, a strange feeling rose in the Queen's heart. To avoid any more misfortunes, she kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to at least summon the imperial physician to take a look first. Make sure that the doctor's diagnosis and treatment methods are correct before making a decision!"
This time the emperor did not refute it, but ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to come for consultation.
After discussion at the Imperial Hospital, it was determined that the detoxification prescription presented by Sui Yunlang would not cause any harm to the body. Even if the emperor was not poisoned, it would not harm his body after taking it, and it would not conflict with the medicine the emperor had been taking recently.
Now, the Queen and Concubine An had no reason to stop it.
The Imperial Hospital prepared medicine according to the prescription and gave it to the emperor to take. Leaning on the soft pillow, the emperor slowly exhaled as if exhausted, but suddenly... he frowned, covered his heart, as if he couldn't breathe, and suddenly fainted.
