Chapter 506 [All villains]
"His Majesty!"
Zhou Jushan and the secret guards saw Emperor Qingning vomiting blood and looking terrified.
Zhou Jushan excitedly ordered the leader of the secret guards: "Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!"
Emperor Qingning covered his chest and saw the blood on the table. A panicked expression appeared on his face. He hurriedly ordered, "Call Imperial Physician Qi over here!"
The secret guard was in a hurry to leave when Zhou Jushan stopped him and quickly warned him, "Remember to go quietly through the side door and don't let anyone see you!"
"Remember not to let any word of this happen."
Emperor Qingning nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "Yes, no one else can know that I vomited blood."
He glanced at Zhou Jushan and felt relieved: "You are so thoughtful. I almost forgot."
Zhou Jushan used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Emperor Qingning's mouth, and called other secret guards to deal with all the bloody memorials.
"Your Majesty, these memorials are stained with blood. I will copy a new one for you tonight."
Emperor Qingning waved his hand weakly. "Whatever. These ministers keep repeating the same old things over and over again. It only makes me feel bored. You can do whatever you want with these things."
Soon, squad leader Qi Yun was brought in from the secret passage by the secret guards.
He pretended to feel Emperor Qingning's pulse and asked, "Your Majesty, have you been drowsy lately, experiencing chest tightness, weakness in your hands and feet, a fever in your palms and soles, and constant irritability?"
Emperor Qingning was surprised and said, "As expected of Imperial Physician Qi. He hasn't seen me in a few days, yet he described my current situation so accurately."
Qi Yun smiled and said nothing. He knew the symptoms of the medicine best, after all, he was the one who prescribed it.
"How is my physical condition now?"
Emperor Qingning looked at Qi Yun, feeling uneasy.
"Your Majesty, you just expelled the poisonous blood that was blocked in your body. This is a good thing, but the process was a bit scary."
"But when scraping the bone to cure poison, the scarier it is, the deeper the lesion is removed, and the greater the body's reaction."
Qi Yun never thought that he, who graduated from the top medical school in the country, would one day be able to use such rhetoric to sell health products and deceive the elderly.
However, the actors in the class were not just talking. His calm face and in-depth analysis made Emperor Qingning feel more reliable.
"It turns out to be a good thing, but it scared me."
Qi Yun nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, you must keep your body and mind relaxed these days and stop getting angry. Ask Eunuch Zhou to find you something fun and interesting to do. Relax your mind and your dragon body will get better and better."
“Okay, okay!”
Emperor Qingning's face was rosy. He felt his own excited state and felt that he was much better now compared to when he was depressed just now.
Zhou Jushan took advantage of the situation and suggested, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Jin has found something interesting and wants to give it to you as a gift. Would you like to have her bring it to you now?"
"OK!"
Emperor Qingning nodded in agreement. The gifts given by Hou Xiaoxiao, the richest man in the capital, never disappointed anyone.
"Let Princess Jin come over."
Thinking that the Princess of Jin was currently residing in the Empress Dowager's Palace, Emperor Qingning said, "Please ask the Empress Dowager to come as well."
Zhou Jushan stepped out: "Okay! Slave, I will go and invite you~"
As soon as Zhou Jushan came out of the imperial study, he saw Xia Su waiting outside.
When Xia Su saw Zhou Jushan, he subconsciously smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhou, is His Majesty free now?"
Zhou Jushan flicked the whisk in his hand and smiled slightly: "If it is Lord Xia, you want to see His Majesty, I am afraid there is no one."
Xia Su's smile froze on his face: "What do you mean by this, Eunuch Zhou?"
Go ahead and stuffed a bag of silver into Zhou Jushan’s pocket.
Zhou Jushan weighed it over and felt that he was becoming more and more like a treacherous minister.
"Lord Xia must have come here because of the incident that happened to the grassland envoys today."
"Your Majesty already knows about this. Do not mention this matter in front of His Majesty again."
Zhou Jushan lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty was just so angry about this matter that he vomited blood. If you bring it up again now, if there is any loss, Lord Xia, it will not only be you who will be implicated."
"If you can afford this price, then go ahead and ask for it."
Xia Su broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for your guidance!"
He burst into tears of gratitude: "I left in a hurry today and only brought this much silver with me. I will treat Eunuch Zhou to tea next time."
There is nothing to report about the rumor that Xin Ningyu is the Valkyrie of the grassland.
"But today, Eunuch Zhou, I have a new discovery."
Xia Su told Zhou Jushan everything he had seen in Prince Zhao's mansion, "Eunuch Zhou, please tell Your Majesty about this when your emotions have calmed down."
After listening to Xia Su's random analysis, Zhou Jushan actually understood that Yan Chaoyue brought Xin Ningyu back as a humiliation to King Zhao. Good, good, this way of thinking is really talented!
"Lord Xia, your insights are truly insightful! I will report this to His Majesty!"
Xia Su felt embarrassed by Zhou Jushan's praise and left the palace complacently.
At this time, the commander of the secret guards also arrived. He was unsure of the emperor's intentions, especially since the emperor had just vomited blood. "Eunuch Zhou, because Your Majesty vomited blood, I have something else that I have not yet reported to Your Majesty."
"The woman brought back by the grassland Khan looks very much like the third daughter of the Xin family. Rumor has it that this woman is the legendary grassland Valkyrie."
Zhou Jushan lowered his voice and said earnestly, "You have excellent hearing. I'm sure you've heard what I said to Lord Xia. No need for me to repeat it again."
"Rumors are just rumors, and they haven't been confirmed. What good will it do you to tell His Majesty about these hearsay things?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not. The answer will be revealed at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
The leader of the secret guards suddenly understood after hearing this: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for your guidance."
Zhou Jushan gathered a group of people and went to the Cining Palace to invite the empress dowager and Hou Xiaoxiao over.
A large iron cage covered with red cloth was moved into the imperial study.
In the imperial study.
Hou Xiaoxiao pointed with the gold-threaded Shu-embroidered fan in her hand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift I found."
When the Empress Dowager heard Hou Xiaoxiao talking about giving gifts, her eyes lit up instantly.
"My dear granddaughter-in-law, you have already given me and the emperor a lot of gifts during your time in the palace. How can I have the nerve to let you spend more money?"
The Queen Mother looked at the two-meter-high iron cage, her smile widening. "What on earth is this huge gift?"
Hou Xiaoxiao clapped her hands.
The two guards immediately pulled down the red cloth.
There was a iron-eating beast in the cage!
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were frightened by the iron-eating beast in the cage at first, but when they saw that the iron-eating beast was holding a brush in its hand and painting on rice paper, their fright turned into surprise.
"The iron-eating beast can actually paint? Could it be a spirit?"
Hou Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I've heard that the barbarians on the grassland are very arrogant, but they are just vulgar people, and they have no knowledge at all."
"Your Majesty, why don't you hold a painting session at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and have representatives from both sides come and paint?"
"Then we'll send this iron-eating beast to paint. I'm sure the paintings it creates will be more elegant and beautiful than those of the grassland man!"
Hou Xiaoxiao was so excited when she spoke that Emperor Qingning became more and more excited the more he listened.
"The arrogant grassland people can't even paint as well as I can, Dasheng, a bird of prey. If this gets out, people will definitely laugh their heads off, and it will also dampen their arrogance!"
