Chapter 158 She still needed the old emperor's permission to save people.
"..."
Yun Si smiled, but inwardly rolled her eyes.
Look at what he's saying, as if he cares about Qin Ye so much.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, things won't be as difficult later on. As long as you... listen to me and cooperate, I won't have to work too hard."
Upon hearing this, a strange expression flashed across Emperor Jiaqing's face.
No one has ever dared to make him "obey"; he looks gentle and weak, but he's quite bold.
To be protected by the Crown Prince like that, one must possess some extraordinary abilities.
"Um."
After a long pause, he finally responded with a sound from his nose.
Seeing that he agreed, Yun Si beckoned A Wu in and took the medicine box from her.
"Eunuch Xu, please help His Majesty lie down properly."
"Eh."
Eunuch Xu responded politely.
He immediately stepped forward, reaching out to help her up while coaxing, "Your Majesty, let's lie down and cooperate with the Crown Princess so that this cold poison can be cured as soon as possible."
The Jiaqing Emperor gave him a cold glance.
"Get out."
"Alright, alright, please don't be angry. This old servant will go out now."
Yun Si looked at Eunuch Xu with great sympathy.
It's really unlucky to have such an emotionally unstable master.
Eunuch Xu himself didn't realize it. Before leaving, he winked at Yun Si, silently telling her, "Be more tolerant and don't get angry with His Majesty. It's not good for the baby."
Yun Si nodded gently at him.
She walked to the dragon bed, took out the golden needles, and looked focused and indifferent.
Looking at her slightly pale face and her calm, watery eyes, Emperor Jiaqing finally cooperated and extended his hand.
He said in a firm tone, "Do what you can. If you feel unwell, stop immediately. I don't want to be known for mistreating pregnant women."
There was a hint of awkwardness in those words.
Yun Si glanced at him.
He smiled outwardly, but his heart remained completely unmoved.
She didn't believe the old emperor was genuinely worried about her health.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I would never joke about my own health and the child."
The implication is that you don't need to worry about it; you're not that important.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiaqing's face immediately darkened.
However, he didn't say anything.
Afterwards, Yun Si began to administer acupuncture, and the process was indeed much simpler than the previous night.
The foundation of the cold poison has been shaken. Yun Si only needs to use gentle internal energy to guide the remaining cold energy out and repair some of the damaged meridians.
She discovered that the golden needles, combined with the internal energy cultivation method she practiced, were simply the best healing remedy.
No wonder this internal energy cultivation method was recorded in a medical manual. Its function goes far beyond improving one's physique and martial arts skills; it also has powerful restorative functions.
Yun Si's movements were smooth and precise. Although there was still a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead, her breathing was steady and she did not appear to be struggling.
Emperor Jiaqing closed his eyes and felt the warm and peaceful power within him, which dispelled the chill throughout his body, and his tense expression gradually relaxed.
It must be admitted that Yun Si's medical skills are indeed superb.
Why have I never heard of this before?
When did you learn these medical skills?
A hint of doubt flashed in Emperor Jiaqing's eyes.
The acupuncture treatment is complete.
Yun Si withdrew the golden needles: "How does Your Majesty feel?"
Emperor Jiaqing slowly opened his eyes and moved his wrists.
The piercing chill had indeed subsided considerably. Although my legs were still numb and weak, my upper body felt much more relaxed.
"It's acceptable."
"Then you should rest well, and remember not to overwork yourself. Take your medicine on time so that you can get rid of the remaining toxins as soon as possible."
After bowing, Yun Si prepared to take her leave.
"etc."
Emperor Jiaqing suddenly called her back, his gaze falling on her lower abdomen, sweeping over it very quickly before immediately looking away.
"Xu Yin, take that five-hundred-year-old snow ginseng from the storeroom to the Crown Princess," he instructed Eunuch Xu outside the door.
Five-hundred-year-old snow ginseng?
That's a rare treasure, a sacred medicine for preserving life and restoring vitality.
Especially during childbirth, it can be life-saving if complications arise.
A look of surprise flashed across Eunuch Xu's eyes, and he quickly bowed and replied, "This old servant obeys the order."
Yun Si's heart stirred slightly, but she calmly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
As soon as they left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, A-Wu immediately stepped forward to support her: "Sister, are you alright?"
"fine."
Yun Si shook her head and glanced back at the magnificent palace.
Has the old emperor changed his ways?
You're not planning to kill her anymore?
Yun Si sneered inwardly.
Don't think that giving her a snow ginseng will lower her guard.
Does he think he can get her to forgive him for the previous oppression and harm he caused her and Qin Ye by making a little amends and concessions?
That's impossible.
However, things should be a little more stable in the coming days.
At least, there shouldn't be any major danger before the child is safely born.
At present, apart from the Empress and the Jiang family, who might be wary of her, no one else should be her enemy.
However, she had only been back in the East Palace for a short while, and before she could even catch her breath, a young eunuch rushed over and reported in a flustered manner.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The fourteenth princess of Northern Yan... has hanged herself at Prince Jing's residence!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Si's heart sank!
Did Huyan Yu'er commit suicide?
How could that be?
Logically speaking, Prince Jing wouldn't make things difficult for her. Why would she be so irrational?
Huyan Zheng fled, and the Northern Yan delegation was detained. This little princess was an extremely sensitive figure.
Now that she has suddenly committed suicide in the Prince Jing's residence, which was under her supervision, if this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely that Northern Yan will use it as an excuse to trigger a dispute between the two countries.
Prince Jing, who was in charge of guarding her, was the first to be affected.
Because of his merits in suppressing the rebellion and stabilizing the capital region, Prince Jing's position has become increasingly secure. Now that something has happened in his residence, it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to attack him, and even throw mud at Qin Ye, who has just been appointed as the crown prince!
I fear that there might be some conspiracy hidden behind Huyan Yuer's suicide.
"How is she doing now?"
Yun Si hurriedly asked, "Was the person saved?"
In her previous life, Huyan Yu'er married the Prince of Jin, but in this life, everything has changed, and it's hard to say what will become of Huyan Yu'er's fate.
Yun Si had a good impression of the little princess and didn't want anything to happen to her.
"The person isn't dead yet, but..."
"Speak quickly."
"Prince Jing personally went to the palace, hoping to beg the Crown Princess to save her. He is currently kneeling outside the Imperial Study, but His Majesty has not agreed."
"What?"
Should we beg her, or the old emperor?
When did she need the old emperor's permission to save people?
Yun Si was so angry she laughed.
"Why didn't Prince Jing come directly to the East Palace? What was he doing at the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
"Because you were in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he rushed there, only to miss you. When he arrived, he learned that you had already returned to the Eastern Palace. His Majesty asked him what had happened, and he had no choice but to tell him the truth."
"..."
Yun Si was speechless.
With lives at stake, there was no time to hesitate; she grabbed her medicine box and headed out of the palace.
At this moment, Eunuch Xu came over to deliver the snow ginseng and also brought a message.
“Your Highness, your current health is not suitable for travel. His Majesty has already sent the imperial physician over. You should stay in the East Palace and rest. As for the Fourteenth Princess… she chose her own path, and she has no one to blame but herself for her death.”
"How long was the imperial physician gone?"
Yun Si didn't want to argue with him, so she calmly asked, "Before Prince Jing entered the palace, had any imperial physicians come to see him?"
If the imperial physician could save her, why would Prince Jing need to come to the palace to find her?
The old emperor wasn't worried about her health at all; he was clearly having another episode and couldn't bear to see his son worrying about a woman.
"Your Highness, please don't ask anymore. Just listen to His Majesty and get some rest."
After saying this, Eunuch Xu turned and left.
Yun Si pondered for a moment, just about to send A Wu out of the palace to find out what was going on, when she saw Qin Ye hurrying back from outside.
His face looked very pale.
It seems she just had a fit of anger.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Si stepped forward and took his arm, asking in confusion, "What made you so angry?"
