Chapter 62: Venomous Snake
Xu Lanshan held Emperor Yuan Yong's arm and snuggled up to him like a little bird. The Fuhai area, Wan'an Lake, and the large gardens and forests were all in sight. Standing on the observation deck, the view was very clear and broad.
The two of them admired the scenery from afar, whispered to each other, and smiled at each other from time to time. Xu Lanshan's eyes were full of affection, which made Emperor Yuan Yong's heart softened.
She is well-behaved, beautiful, smart, intelligent and infatuated. They are so harmonious and compatible in the boudoir. Who else should I pamper if not her?
Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but gently pinch her face and said with a smile: "I have a lot of memorials to review tonight."
Xu Lanshan understood and smiled brightly, "Then I'll go over there early to help with the writing. We can't delay the Emperor's important business!"
Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes were filled with smiles: "Come earlier and have dinner with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I couldn't ask for more!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The two masters were being clingy, and Dong Zhi and Yu Chan understood and knew what was going on, so they had already quietly retreated far away.
This is not something they can see...
Xu Lanshan and Emperor Yuan Yong stood on the observation deck for a while, then slowly walked into the woods next to them.
On the forest floor grew clumps of wildflowers, each a foot tall, dotted with large, purple blossoms, small and lovely. Xu Lanshan smiled and casually praised them. Emperor Yuan Yong bent down to pick one for her hairpin, but unexpectedly, a snake lurked among the flowers. Startled, it bit Emperor Yuan Yong's wrist fiercely. Emperor Yuan Yong grunted and shook the snake off!
"Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan screamed in shock. Her face turned pale and she quickly grabbed his arm to take a look. The wound had turned out to be a black patch the size of a thumb, and it looked like it was going to continue to spread.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan was so frightened that she was about to cry: "Dong Zhi! Dong Zhi! Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
Emperor Yuan Yong felt a little dizzy and extremely annoyed. Seeing the woman in front of him pale and tearful, he felt a little soft-hearted: "I'm fine, don't cry."
No one expected there would be poisonous snakes here!
Xu Lanshan really burst into tears this time, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, the emperor is the true dragon emperor, with the protection of God, nothing will happen to him!"
Dong Zhi and Yu Chan heard Xu Lanshan's scream and rushed over in a hurry. They were also frightened to death when they saw what happened.
"Oh my God! This--"
"emperor!"
"Go and call the imperial physician! Eunuch Dong, go quickly!" Xu Lanshan ordered, and hurriedly helped Emperor Yuan Yong into Qingying Hall with Yuchan, and helped him sit on the couch.
Dong Zhi also hurried in after a while. It was obvious that Emperor Yuan Yong's secret guards had followed him up the mountain. At this moment, the secret guards should have gone down the mountain to call the imperial physician, so there was no need for Dong Zhi to go with them.
Seeing that the black poison was spreading more and more on Emperor Yuan Yong's arm, the wound also turned as black as ink. Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes were half closed, his handsome face was pale, and his consciousness became half confused. Xu Lanshan and the other two were almost going crazy with anxiety!
If anything happens to the emperor, none of the three of them will survive!
Xu Lanshan suddenly leaned over, put her lips close to Emperor Yuan Yong, sucked out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and spat it on the ground.
"Empress!"
Xu Lanshan didn't say anything and continued to take a sip.
It actually worked. The poison on Emperor Yuan Yong's arm stopped spreading, and his pale face cleared up a little. He opened his eyes, his gaze was clearer than before, and he looked at Xu Lanshan with a complicated expression.
"Lan'er, it's okay. I'm fine. The imperial physician should be here soon."
"Your Majesty, please don't speak. I'm fine, really!"
"Can--"
"I am really fine!"
Xu Lanshan smiled gently and continued to suck out the venom for him with a firm attitude. He had already done it, so there was no point in giving up halfway. Otherwise, it would be better not to do anything in the first place.
Otherwise, wouldn’t this “unswerving determination” and “loyalty” be greatly discounted?
She couldn't do such a loss-making thing.
The look in the Emperor's eyes made her feel a little guilty... she didn't deserve it. She wasn't someone who would sacrifice her life for him without hesitation. She did this because, firstly, if anything happened to him, she would be doomed too! Secondly... naturally, it was because she had communicated with the system. If things really went wrong, the antidote would be delivered to her with just a thought. So, this was like a solid safety net for her, which was why she dared to "go all out"!
Finally, the imperial physician arrived. Xu Lanshan's lips were black, her face was pale, her eyes were a little blurry, and her head was dizzy. As soon as she relaxed her mind, her eyes went dark and she fainted!
Before her consciousness completely disappeared, she seemed to see Emperor Yuan Yong's frightened and heartbroken eyes, and hear Yu Chan's screams.
By the time she screamed "Oh no" and wanted to take the antidote, it was too late...
When Xu Lanshan woke up, she found herself lying on the dragon bed. Everything in the hall was very familiar. The lights were on and it was dark.
This was the bedroom of Wan'an Palace. She had spent countless nights here, so it was naturally familiar to her at first glance.
"My beauty, you're awake!" Yu Chan was overjoyed to see her open her eyes and hurriedly said, "Go and tell the emperor that my beauty is awake! My beauty, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Before Xu Lanshan could answer, she saw Emperor Yuan Yong hurried in. She immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Slow down," Emperor Yuan Yong said, sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing her trying to get up, he quickly reached out and embraced her, helping her lean against his chest. He held her hand and looked down at her face carefully. "Are you feeling unwell? The imperial physician will be here soon. Don't be afraid, Lan'er."
Xu Lanshan could feel that his nervousness was genuine and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was genuine concern. Although she didn't know how long this sincerity could last, it was undeniable that at this moment, she was really touched.
"Your Majesty," Xu Lanshan curled her lips, her smile becoming more genuine. She hooked her fingers around his and gently held them in hers. "I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. I'm fine!"
"How dare you say that," Emperor Yuan Yong sighed with a smile. "Imperial Physician Tang has examined you. I personally gave you an antidote dissolved in warm water and applied an antidote ointment. Your life is safe. But I still need Imperial Physician Tang to take another look before I can rest assured. How can you be so bold?"
Emperor Yuan Yong felt a little uncomfortable. He was moved but also a little helpless.
Yes, helpless.
He doted on her and loved her a lot, but it was also because her natural beauty caught his eye, and she was knowledgeable and interesting in every aspect. He was always in a very happy and cheerful mood when he was with her.
Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to pamper her a little more.
But he didn't expect her to go that far for him.
With Dong Zhi and Yu Chan both present, she didn't need to risk her life herself. She had ordered Yu Chan to do so, and since Yu Chan was her servant, the credit belonged to her as well.
