Chapter 63 The Emperor's Protection
Of course, if she did that, he would be somewhat alienated from her, but so what? As long as she was still knowledgeable and interesting, and he was happy and cheerful when he was with her, he still didn't mind pampering her.
Isn’t that what a favorite concubine is?
As long as you take a more open-minded view of human nature, there's nothing wrong with it.
His mother, the Queen Mother, had poisoned him and slandered the then-favored Concubine Mi in order to win his favor, causing him to suffer a fate worse than death for over half a month, nearly killing him. He then spent another six months recuperating before barely recovering. How could anyone else treat him with sincerity?
He never expected it, nor did he believe it.
For example, Concubine Lian kept saying that she truly loved him and loved him sincerely, but he just felt disgusted.
If he were not the emperor, would Concubine Lian still love him sincerely?
The "true love" that was often mentioned and shouted so loudly that everyone in the palace knew about it seemed so cheap and ridiculous to him.
So not only was he never moved by Concubine Lian, on the contrary, he felt disgusted.
He thought that if Concubine Lian was present at today's event, she would never do that without even thinking about it.
Although he was a little confused at the time, he was still barely lucid. He clearly saw Lan'er's eyes and movements without the slightest hesitation...
She had always admired him, but had never burdened him, had never made any excessive demands, and now she was even risking her life to save him without hesitation. He was really at a loss and couldn't believe it, not believing that someone could treat him like this.
At this moment, with the beauty in his arms, touching her warm hands, looking at her warm and sweet smile, something suddenly sprouted silently in Emperor Yuan Yong's heart...
"I just did what I should do. Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, so he will naturally protect me..."
Xu Lanshan was embarrassed and felt guilty. She was a little scared...
She didn't know how she could be so stupid. She fainted without even taking the antidote. Fortunately... the snake venom wasn't that strong, and the imperial physician arrived just in time. She was able to save her life! Otherwise, it would have been a disaster!
She would never be willing to die so quietly even as a ghost.
The imperial physician Tang finally arrived, and Emperor Yuan Yong ordered him to come forward to see the patient.
Imperial Physician Tang examined the patient for about a quarter of an hour. Emperor Yuan Yong was nervous, and Xu Lanshan was also nervous.
"how?"
"This..." Doctor Tang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Emperor Yuan Yong raised an eyebrow and was about to ask him to go out to talk, but Xu Lanshan gently pulled his sleeve and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, I want to know how my own body is doing."
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at her and patted her hand gently: "Alright. Don't be afraid, Lan'er. No matter what, I'm here for you."
"Well, I know!"
"Doctor Tang, please speak!"
Doctor Tang, who was watching her every move, bowed and replied "Yes," then said, "Your Majesty, my lady, the remaining snake venom in your body will be cured with a few more doses of medicine and three or four days of rest. However... we treated you a little too late, and the venom has entered your mouth, inevitably damaging your throat, stomach, and lungs. You may be more susceptible to coughing in the future, especially in winter and spring, when it is more likely to worsen..."
Emperor Yuan Yong frowned: "Is it possible to eradicate it?"
Doctor Tang hesitated: "This - I can't guarantee it, I will do my best."
Xu Lanshan smiled: "That means it can still be cured, right?"
Doctor Tang couldn't help but secretly groan, thinking that Concubine Xu was really spoiled by her favor. How should he respond to this?
"Don't worry, my beauty. I will do my best!"
Xu Lanshan nodded and smiled, "Well, Imperial Doctor Tang, just do your best. I will definitely recover."
Imperial Physician Tang and Emperor Yuan Yong were both stunned.
Xu Lanshan raised her eyes and smiled sweetly at Emperor Yuan Yong, her tone extremely firm and resolute, as if she was the final word from Heaven: "I have the Emperor's blessing and protection. What does this little bit of residual poison matter? I will definitely eliminate it completely!"
Doctor Tang: “…”
Emperor Yuan Yong: “…”
Emperor Yuan Yong coughed, nodded, and said seriously: "Lan'er is right, Lan'er will definitely recover!"
She was still so young, and although this cough wasn't fatal, it was definitely not pleasant. He occasionally caught a cold and coughed, unable to sleep well all night. His chest and throat also ached from time to time, and it was painful for a few days. If it became a disease, it would definitely not last for a few days...
Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly felt distressed and winked at Doctor Tang: Think of a way, we must cure Concubine Xu no matter what!
Xu Lanshan continued to smile at Doctor Tang, "Doctor Tang, please don't be nervous. Just treat the symptoms. I will definitely recover! I won't embarrass you, and the Emperor certainly won't embarrass you either."
Doctor Tang: "Yes, beautiful lady!"
When Emperor Yuan Yong heard her say this, he laughed and thought to himself, it’s better not to put too much pressure on Doctor Tang.
"Just as the beauty said!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Doctor Tang was so grateful that he almost burst into tears.
Of course Xu Lanshan dared to say that. She just asked the system, and the system said that the antidote was effective and she just needed to take one pill.
Doctor Tang knelt and withdrew. After a while, the medicine was ready and Yu Chan presented it personally.
Xu Lanshan frowned immediately. She really didn't want to drink the medicine. Mainly, it was unnecessary.
All she needs to do is take the antidote awarded by the system and everything will be fine!
Emperor Yuan Yong looked up and saw her frowning and resisting. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You must drink this medicine. You must not refuse! Come, be good, I will feed you."
Seeing no way out, Xu Lanshan had no choice but to endure it this time. It didn't seem right to recover without taking any medicine, did it?
But she didn't want Emperor Yuan Yong to feed her.
The smell of this medicine is strange. The best way to take it is to hold your breath and swallow it in one gulp. Emperor Yuan Yong fed her, but who knows how he did it? She would feel extremely uncomfortable if the time it took to drink the medicine was extended by even one second.
"Your Majesty, I will do it myself!"
"Good boy, let me do it."
"But your hand is injured..."
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced down at his wrist, where some bruises still remained. Seeing that she still cared about him and thought of him at such a time, he was deeply moved. He chuckled and said, "It's okay. I can still hold a bowl of medicine!"
"But, I will feel bad!" Xu Lanshan smiled charmingly, snatched the medicine bowl while he wasn't paying attention, and drank it in one gulp, "Water!"
Yuchan hurriedly presented the teacup.
Xu Lanshan quickly took two big sips of tea before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Yuan Yong was at a loss for words and wiped the water from the corners of her mouth. "Can't you go a little slower?"
Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly: "I don't want to make the emperor worry!"
Emperor Yuan Yong became more and more pleased: "Good boy..."
Now he felt relieved. Xu Lanshan snuggled in his arms coquettishly, her eyes moving with affection, and she spoke sweet words one after another, making Emperor Yuan Yong laugh.
