"Your Majesty, wait a minute." Ling Xiang interrupted the emperor.
"What do you think, Miss Duanmu?" The Medical Immortal Valley was aloof from the world, and the emperor was very polite to Ling Xiang.
"The medicine in your Majesty's hand cannot cure the poison of Concubine Shu."
He Xun snorted coldly, "Girl, what makes you say that the elixir I refined can't detoxify?"
Ling Xiang said confidently, "You've earned your reputation in vain, but you haven't even figured out what poison Empress Shu was poisoned with."
He Xun didn't follow Ling Xiang's words, but questioned her identity: "Little girl, you said you are the heir of the Medical Immortal Valley, do you have anything to prove your identity?"
"I am the proof!" Xuanyuan Qi took out the pill made by Ling Xiang and handed it to the emperor. "Father, this is the antidote made by Fairy Linglong. Give it to my mother quickly."
When facing Xuanyuan Qi, He Xun would think of the humiliation he suffered in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. Now he had to rely on the merit of curing Concubine Shu to rescue Zhang Qian from the cell. How could he let Xuanyuan Qi ruin his plan?
"Your Majesty, please think twice! This so-called heir of the Medical Immortal Valley only produced ordinary pills, not elixirs. Compared with the elixirs I personally refined, the superiority is obvious at a glance!"
What Ling Xiang took out was indeed just an ordinary pill. In addition, Xuanyuan Qi had always been unreliable, so the emperor's trust began to tilt towards He Xun, the long-famous miracle doctor.
But he couldn't afford to offend the heir of the Medical Immortal Valley, so out of caution, he asked Ling Xiang, "Could the young lady prove her identity?"
Xuanyuan Qi naturally supported Ling Xiang: "Father! Just a few days ago, this so-called miracle doctor He Xun attempted to deceive me and Master Yuan Zhengqing. This person cannot be trusted!"
"Oh?" The emperor looked at He Xun. "What does Divine Doctor He have to say?"
He Xun bowed and said, "Lord Yuan has already acquitted me. This is my explanation."
The emperor frowned, unable to make a decision for a moment.
Ling Xiang really couldn't understand why the emperor didn't trust his own son. Could Xuanyuan Qi still harm his mother?
It is said that Concubine Shu was favored and Prince Huai was also spoiled, which is why he became lawless. Now it seems that the rumors were wrong.
Ling Xiang didn't want Xuanyuan Qi to be embarrassed, so she stepped forward and said, "Since someone is questioning my identity, I really can't let His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai and His Majesty down. Please wait a moment. The truth will be revealed in less than a quarter of an hour."
Not long after, Concubine Shu woke up and saw the emperor lying on the bed. A smile appeared on her pale face: "Your Majesty..."
Shu Fei is worthy of being the most favored concubine in the six palaces. She has a stunning appearance and elegant temperament. Her illness makes her even more charming.
With this look, not to mention the men, even Ling Xiang couldn't help but take a few more glances.
No wonder Xuanyuan Qi looks so handsome, it turns out that his mother has super good genes.
"Shufei!" The emperor was very excited and quickly told Shufei not to move.
Xuanyuan Qi immediately consolidated Ling Xiang's achievements: "Just now, Fairy Linglong said that Mother would wake up in more than an hour. As expected, Mother has woken up. The Thirteen Needles of the Medical Immortal Valley are indeed well-deserved!"
With the facts before his eyes, the emperor no longer doubted Ling Xiang's identity. He immediately took out a pill and gave it to Concubine Shu: "Come, Concubine Shu, take the antidote and you will be cured!"
"Mother, hurry!" Xuanyuan Qi urged.
Concubine Shu took Ling Xiang's antidote without any hesitation.
"The Thirteen Needles of the Medical Immortal Valley is a skill that doctors of my generation yearn for. I never thought that the girl has mastered the Thirteen Needles of the Medical Immortal at such a young age. It is true that young people are born with talent." He Xun used the method of provoking her.
"I've heard that the Thirteen Needles of the Medical Immortal can help medicines exert their maximum effectiveness. I wonder if I, He, would have the honor to witness the Thirteen Needles of the Medical Immortal, young lady?"
"Are you really a miracle doctor?" Ling Xiang questioned.
"I'm just a doctor. Miracle doctor is just a title given to me by everyone." He Xun said modestly.
"Golden needles can indeed help the medicine work, but the medicine I prepared can cure diseases and save lives without the help of golden needles. Moreover, I just used golden needles on Concubine Shu. Golden needles can only be used once on the same person in a short period of time. You don't even have this common sense. What kind of miracle doctor are you?"
He Xun was speechless.
Suddenly, after taking the medicine, Concubine Shu vomited a mouthful of black blood and then fainted.
"Shufei!" The emperor was horrified. "Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!"
The imperial physician who was waiting on the side stepped forward immediately.
Ling Xiang was horrified. She was sure that she had not used the wrong medicine. After taking the medicine, Concubine Shu would vomit poisonous blood, but would never faint!
She immediately looked at He Xun and caught a glimpse of a strange smile in his expression.
The antidote He Xun gave her had been tampered with. This man had evil intentions. He must have tampered with Concubine Shu before she delivered the medicine!
She must examine Concubine Shu immediately and must not let anything happen to her!
At this point, she could only shoulder all the risks and said confidently:
"Your Majesty, please don't panic. Concubine Shu has just vomited poisonous blood, and the poison has been mostly eliminated. Sleeping now will help her recover better. Your Majesty, please allow me to examine Concubine Shu so that I can prepare the remaining medicine to eliminate the poison."
He Xun seized the opportunity to add insult to injury: "Your Majesty, don't believe her! The Empress Shu is in this state now, it's obvious that this girl used the wrong medicine! Let me treat the Empress quickly! It might be too late if I delay any longer!"
"Father, I believe in Fairy Linglong, and please believe in her too!" Xuanyuan Qi stood firmly on Ling Xiang's side.
The emperor was extremely nervous and only trusted the imperial physician: "Imperial physician! Save him!"
The imperial physicians immediately examined Concubine Shu. After a while, the chief physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, we are incompetent and cannot find the cause of Concubine Shu's illness..."
"Useless!" The emperor was so angry that he slapped the imperial physician. "What use do I have for you?"
The unconscious Concubine Shu vomited another mouthful of black blood, which frightened everyone present.
Xuanyuan Qi immediately advised, "Father, please let Fairy Linglong take a look at Mother. Mother's condition cannot be delayed any longer!"
He Xun had long guessed that Prince Huai would certainly prevent the Emperor from giving Concubine Shu the elixir he had refined, so he had planned everything and poisoned Concubine Shu in advance.
The conspiracy succeeded, and he immediately knelt down and pleaded:
"If the Concubine had taken my elixir just now, she would have been detoxified by now, and why would she be in this state now? Your Majesty, this descendant of the Medical Immortal Valley who appeared out of nowhere must be a fake! We can't trust her! Let me help the Concubine quickly! I'm afraid something bad will happen if we delay!"
The emperor was persuaded by He Xun: "Okay, Doctor He, come and save Concubine Shu! As long as you save Concubine Shu, I will never treat you unfairly!"
Ling Xiang frowned. Now it was no longer a battle of medical skills between her and He Xun. It also involved the life of Concubine Shu, the reputation of Xuanyuan Qi, and the trust of the emperor.
She has no way out.
She took out the golden needle and quickly sealed He Xun's major acupoints, holding him in place.
"Your Majesty may not trust me, but you cannot distrust the medical skills of the Medical Immortal Valley! If we really let this quack take over the treatment of Concubine Shu today, and if the conflict between our medicines leads to irreversible consequences, I, Duanmu Linglong, cannot afford to lose face! Neither can the Medical Immortal Valley!"
