The emperor still rested in Yongle Palace that night.
There was a continuous drizzle all night, the temperature dropped suddenly, and leaves fell everywhere.
The emperor hugged Shen Mingyue, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, sleeping very soundly.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xu hurried to Yongle Palace.
While Shen Mingyue was coaxing Su Qiqi, he quickly leaned over to the emperor's ear and said, "Your Majesty, General Shen fell down last night and was seriously injured."
The emperor frowned, his expression extremely solemn: "The old general has been sitting in a wheelchair all the time, how could he fall down?"
"Maybe...it's because it rained last night and the road is slippery."
The emperor ordered in a deep voice: "Ask Imperial Physician Qin to go to the Shen residence and pick out some good supplements and medicinal herbs and send them to the Shen residence."
Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "Then should we keep this a secret from the Imperial Concubine for now?"
"What are you hiding?"
At this moment, Shen Mingyue walked in from outside holding a cloak.
Hongye followed behind her, holding the already awake Su Qiqi in her arms.
"It's suddenly gotten cold today. Be careful not to catch a cold."
As he spoke, Shen Mingyue walked forward and put the cloak on the emperor.
The emperor subconsciously held her hand and said, "It rained last night and it's slippery outside. Don't go out."
Shen Mingyue frowned slightly and looked up at Zhao Xu who was waiting beside her: "What were you talking about with the emperor just now?"
"this……"
Zhao Xu looked embarrassed and looked to the emperor for help.
After all, the truth will eventually come to light, and Shen Mingyue will know about General Shen’s injury sooner or later.
If I insist on hiding it, I'm afraid Shen Mingyue will be even more angry and upset.
After thinking for a moment, the emperor said truthfully: "Mingyue, your father... fell last night. But don't worry, the imperial physician has already gone to the Shen Mansion."
"Fell down?"
Shen Mingyue only felt a sudden dull pain in her heart.
After entering the palace, she rarely interacted with her family, after all, she had to avoid suspicion.
But now...
"My father is seriously ill, and as a child, I should go and take care of him."
Shen Mingyue knelt down and said word by word, solemnly: "I beg the emperor to allow me to leave the palace."
After saying that, she kowtowed heavily.
The emperor reached out to help her: "Don't worry, I will go with you."
//
The emperor brought the imperial concubine back to the Shen Mansion, along with four imperial physicians and two boxes of medicinal supplements.
It really gives me enough face.
The once deserted Shen Mansion became somewhat lively again because of the emperor's arrival.
"I just fell down, but I actually alarmed the Emperor and the Empress. I am truly ashamed."
General Shen felt very guilty.
The emperor comforted him, "General, don't worry too much. Getting well is the most important thing."
After saying this, he winked at the imperial physician beside him.
Several imperial doctors took turns to take General Shen's pulse, all of them looking embarrassed.
You looked at me, I looked at you, discussed in a low voice for a few words, and then all knelt before the emperor.
The leading doctor, Qin, reported back, "The old general's injuries this time are not serious. It's just that the remaining poison in his body is strong and difficult to control. I'm afraid it won't be long before it penetrates deep into his internal organs."
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I understand. You guys go down and think of a solution first."
The imperial physician hesitated to speak, and ultimately did not dare to say anything more.
"I will take my leave."
In fact, everyone knows that the remaining poison in General Shen’s body cannot be controlled, let alone cured.
The emperor's words asking him to find a solution were just words of comfort to the old general.
The old general's spirit is getting worse day by day. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer.
"Everyone has their own destiny. I know my own health best. Your Majesty, there is no need to embarrass the imperial physicians."
General Shen was lying on the bed, his entire body so thin that his bones were visible.
He was once the right-hand man of the late emperor, made great military achievements and gained a great reputation.
But even a mighty eagle cannot soar if its wings are broken.
General Shen, who was disabled in both legs, could only sit in a wheelchair, and the red tasseled spear that had accompanied him for most of his life could only be placed in the ancestral hall.
Nowadays, he takes more and more medicines, but his health is getting worse and worse. He has become indifferent to everything.
"The imperial physician in the palace is knowledgeable and skilled, and he will definitely be able to cure Dad's stubborn illness."
Shen Mingyue stepped forward and held General Shen's hand.
The wrinkled and scarred hands were trembling slightly.
General Shen half-jokingly said, "Mingyue, Dad is not afraid. If I die, I can just bless you."
[Alas, why are you dying?! It's just a small Seven Star Poison. If I take action, I can cure it in minutes!]
Su Qiqi was rubbing her hands in anticipation, eager to give it a try.
But looking at her chubby little hands, she felt depressed.
[I almost forgot, I'm still a baby! Damn it!]
[I remember that the simplest treatment for Seven Star Poison is 3 liang of Forsythia suspensa, 2 liang of Angelica dahurica, 2 liang of Chuanxiong, and 1 qian of Xiaocao...]
[Boil the mixture in water and mix it with the raw gallbladder of the black-banded snake. Drink it once in the morning and evening. Continue for three months and it will definitely be effective.]
[Yeah, I think I remember correctly. That's how I detoxified that Southeast Asian tycoon! Although I later used a little trickery to get him thrown in jail.]
[Alas, I haven't practiced for a long time, my medical skills are getting rusty!]
Su Qiqi muttered to herself.
Shen Mingyue was overjoyed: Su Qiqi can cure illnesses?!
The emperor remained calm and said, "Mingyue, please talk to the old general first. I have something to do."
"……Um."
Shen Mingyue was puzzled, but did not ask any more questions.
The imperial physician and Zhao Xu were still waiting in the side hall.
The emperor walked in and asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"
