"Come, prepare a carriage for Kunyi Palace. All of you, follow me. " Le Chengdi stood up and strode out of the Sweet Dew Palace. He didn't look like he was going to visit the seriously ill Empress Su, but more like he was preparing to denounce her for causing a ruckus in Kunyi Palace.
Jingwan turned to look at Li Hongyuan, asking with her eyes — — should we go?
Li Hongyuan stood up slowly. Naturally, he had to go. This matter was still unclear. Li Hongyuan didn't allow this kind of thing to exist. According to Le Chengdi, it didn't matter whether they went or not. There was still something to talk about.
Li Hongyuan wanted to go, so Jingwan naturally followed. Although she had nothing to do, she didn't need to do anything. She only needed to be the perfect background or watch the show.
Jingwan walked beside Li Hongyuan and followed behind Le Chengdi. Behind them were Gong Jiu and the other two. Naturally, no one spoke along the way.
When there was nothing to do, one's mind would either be empty or thinking about something. Jingwan's current situation was the latter. When Imperial Concubine Qin was poisoned, Le Chengdi accompanied her at all times. When the Empress fell ill, Le Chengdi immediately went over. Only Imperial Concubine Su, other than calling two imperial physicians over, did not make a single splash. If Noble Consort Su knew about this situation, who knew how she would react. Among the three of them, she was the most favored one. Although Le Chengdi had a reason for going to Kunyi Palace, Noble Consort Su didn't know it! Look at Li Hongyuan. He went to Kunyi Palace and didn't go to her. A fake illness became a real illness, and a minor illness became a serious illness. Le Chengdi might have a reason, but Li Hongyuan didn't. At least, in everyone's eyes, he didn't. Putting herself in his shoes, both her husband and son were like this. If her tolerance was poor, it was possible that she would vomit blood and die from anger. Of course, Noble Consort Su's tolerance wouldn't be that bad. — — However, from some people's point of view, the more miserable she was, the better.
When Emperor Le Chengdi arrived, all the people in the Kunyi Palace, except for the Empress and those who did not dare to leave, welcomed him in fear and trepidation. Le Chengdi ignored them and went straight to the inner hall. Other than Gong Jiu, everyone else stopped. It was not the first time that the servants in the inner hall had seen Gong Jiu, so they did not show any unusual expressions when they saw a non-imperial physician enter.
Le Chengdi sat on the side and motioned for Gong Jiu to come forward and "treat" the Empress. Gong Jiu naturally knew what to treat.
Gong Jiu first checked the pulse, then used silver needles to insert a few needles into certain places of the Empress. Because they did not know medicine, the palace servants only thought that he was saving the Empress. Gong Jiu quickly came to a conclusion and nodded slightly to Le Chengdi.
Le Chengdi was so angry that he knocked over the teacup that was just handed to him.
The servant was frightened by Le Chengdi's sudden movement. At the same time, he didn't know why, so he just knelt on the ground instinctively.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Gong Jiu said emotionlessly.
Le Chengdi calmed down. He also knew that even if the Empress took the medicine, she might not have had anything to do with this matter. Although he could kill, imprison, and demote most people in the world at will, there were still some people that he had to show evidence, even if it was just forged evidence, to convict them. He did not want to kill the Empress, so he would not forge evidence. However, he had to find out the ins and outs of the matter.
"What did Her Majesty eat today? Her Majesty's phoenix body originally needed to rest. Originally, she would have recovered in half a month at most. After a month, she would have recovered to seventy to eighty percent. Now, her body is rapidly weakening. According to this situation, it will most likely affect her lifespan." Gong Jiu said faintly as he gave the Empress acupuncture.
When these servants heard this, they were so scared that their souls almost flew out of their bodies.
"What are you waiting for? Tell me now. If anything happens to the Empress, I will flog you all to death!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress's food is very carefully. We dare not neglect it at all. The Empress really didn't eat anything special."
"There is no problem with the food. Then what about the medicine? Is there any change in the medicine the Empress takes? "Gong Jiu continued to ask.
Hearing this, several people's faces changed. Obviously, there was a problem.
"Tell me now …" Le Chengdi was furious. "A group of blind bastards."
"Your Majesty, the Empress felt weak and didn't want to have any accident at the birthday banquet. So, she asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a dose of tiger and wolf medicine. The imperial doctor is the Empress's usual doctor. He said the medicine would make the Empress feel better, but there might be sequelae. The Empress's recovery time would probably be delayed. He didn't say it would shorten the Empress's lifespan. — — That bastard, that bastard, how dare he, how dare he … "The aunt who looked older was angry and angry. She cried and cursed.
Gong Jiu asked them to bring the dregs of the medicine the Empress took. Le Chengdi sent people out and asked Li Suyan to arrest the person.
What a coincidence. The imperial doctor who was qualified to enter the palace was the one who prescribed the medicine to the Empress. He couldn't enter the palace because of a cold.
The people of the Blackguard acted quickly. There would be a result soon.
After Gong Jiu temporarily stabilized the Empress's condition, he sorted out the dregs one by one. Among them, there was one that was quite obvious.
"This is the Revival?" Le Chengdi asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he frowned. "We've used too much. There are at least five plants of Rejuvenation. Under normal circumstances, even if we have to take Rejuvenation due to special circumstances, three plants is the maximum. The Empress's current situation is not optimistic. She might even … "
Hearing Gong Jiu's words, the people around the Empress almost collapsed.
But in this way, the suspicion that the Empress was the mastermind behind the poisoning was reduced a lot. However, it couldn't be ruled out 100%. After all, the Empress might not know the true effect of the Revival. So, the question is, was there a third party? It might not even be the Empress who poisoned the Empress, but a third party who killed two birds with one stone. Qin Shu Fei and the Empress were poisoned at the same time. Qin Shu Fei might die, and the Empress might use the Revival too much and become weak, falling ill until the end of her life.
According to this direction, the one who benefited the most was often the real culprit. Imperial Concubine Su? But Imperial Concubine Su wasn't a fool. When the Empress first fell ill, she was very nervous. Prince Kang acted with restraint. She also told her son not to act rashly, or at least not to rush to expand. During this time, the one who really jumped the most fiercely was the Gong Prince.
So, it was more likely that there was a fourth person behind this, preparing to be the final fisherman?
However, when everyone thought that it was impossible, it just happened to become possible. Was he trying to avoid responsibility? Therefore, Imperial Concubine Su's suspicion couldn't be washed away.
However, so far, everything was still in a fog, and the key thread hadn't been grasped yet.
Le Chengdi looked at the Empress on the bed in silence. "Can the Empress' condition be cured?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, no, it can only be alleviated. The amount of Revival the Empress used was beyond our expectations. Now, we can only expel the remaining medicinal effects from her body, minimizing the greatest damage. After that, the Empress' Phoenix Body will need at least three months to recover. After that, she won't be as healthy as before, and will age easily. Winter is cold, summer is hot, and the slightest carelessness will cause her to fall ill. It will be more difficult for her to recover compared to ordinary people." Gong Jiu, in line with the ethics of a doctor, didn't add any details, and spoke frankly.
"Do your best." Le Chengdi waved his hand.
From these words, it could be heard that the Empress really didn't have much of the Emperor's heart. If he really cared, it wouldn't be about doing his best, it would be about curing her.
"Your Majesty, this commoner will first induce vomiting with the Empress, and then prepare the medicinal bath. It will still take some time. This commoner suggests that Your Majesty invite other Imperial Physicians to take the Empress' pulse."
Le Chengdi actually felt that it wasn't necessary, but he also knew Gong Jiu's concerns. After all, he was the physician of Jin Qinwang fu. If he was the only one handling the matter, someone might make an issue out of it, and Jin Qinwang would inevitably be implicated. After all, Jin Qinwang also had a reason to make a move on the Empress, although it might be a bit far-fetched to say it. — — Who let him be Imperial Concubine Su's adopted son, and even said that the recent slight discord between mother and son was an act.
Therefore, Le Chengdi nodded and let someone call over the Imperial Physicians of Sweet Dew Palace. Then, he sent someone to inform Imperial Concubine Su of this matter at a later time.
Le Chengdi was very clear that these women in his harem were very powerful. If he wanted to completely suppress them, he still needed some means from time to time. Although he didn't want to admit it, this was indeed one of the reasons why Le Chengdi couldn't casually deal with them. Just think, if it was just a woman with average ability, he could just cripple her. Even if he wanted to build another balance, it was also an easy matter. After all, the majority of the women in the harem relied on his honor and favor. That's right, the majority! But these women were too powerful. If he dealt with them, Le Chengdi was worried that it would leave behind hidden dangers. It was better to keep them and restrain each other. The other women in the harem would also have fewer opportunities to cause trouble.
Regarding the situation in the Inner Hall, the people in the Outer Hall weren't very clear, but they could more or less guess.
Li Suyan's ability to do things was also unquestionable, but it was still a step too late. That Imperial Physician died in his own study room. It looked like a suicide. When the Blackguard came, the family found out about it. The Imperial Physician's residence was already in a mess. However, Li Suyan was unmoved. She ordered the small residence to be guarded. After that, she immediately went to the Imperial Physician's Hospital to check the prescription for the Empress. In the end, there wasn't any. She also asked the Imperial Physician's Hospital, but unexpectedly, there was no recovery of this medicine.
When Li Suyan reported to Le Chengdi, the other Imperial Physicians were also present. Their foreheads were all covered in cold sweat. After all, that was a colleague they met not long ago.
Le Chengdi's face was expressionless. Perhaps, after the little eunuch in the Imperial Kitchen was silenced, he already expected that there might be more deaths. However, since something happened outside the palace, it was the Supreme Court's responsibility.
At the same time, Imperial Concubine Su, who received the news, was scared out of her wits. She couldn't care less about her anger. Her body, which was originally not very good, was much better after such a scare. She couldn't lie on the bed anymore and hurried to Yi Kun Palace. After all, she was a concubine and didn't have so many scruples. She directly entered the Inner Hall. Seeing so many people, she paused and tidied up her appearance. "This concubine greets the Emperor."
"You're here." Le Chengdi's voice was indifferent, as if he was very sure that she would come.
Imperial Concubine Su was frightened. She doubted whether she was right to rush over in the first place. Besides, could it be that the Emperor really suspected that she did it? "Your Majesty …"
Le Chengdi glanced at her indifferently. Imperial Concubine Su tactfully shut her mouth and didn't dare to say more.
When the Empress began to soak in the medicinal bath, Le Chengdi took the irrelevant people to the outer hall.
Before Le Chengdi could say anything, Li Hongyuan stood up first. "The palace is in a mess now. This son will leave first and return to the residence." His gaze didn't fall on Imperial Concubine Su.
Imperial Concubine Su was in a hurry just now and didn't notice Li Hongyuan. In fact, Li Hongyuan deliberately "shrank" to a relatively dark place.
"Yuan 'er …"
Li Hongyuan glanced at her this time. "Mother, have you finally discovered this son's existence?" His face was a little gloomy.
"Yuan 'er, no, that …"
"This son will take his leave." He turned and left. Jingwan hurriedly squatted down and then chased after him.
Imperial Concubine Su's heart thumped. She knew that she was in trouble. She subconsciously turned to look at Le Chengdi. Le Chengdi stared at her with a gloomy face. Imperial Concubine Su had seen his eyes like this before, but she wasn't the one who had to bear it. Now that she was baptized, she felt the terror of the Emperor's prestige from the bottom of her heart. "Imperial Concubine Su was sick because of Yuan 'er. Now that you heard that the Empress's condition worsened, you immediately recovered. You were in such a hurry that you didn't even see your own son. Zhen is very gratified that you have such a deep sisterly relationship." She came and her son left. Le Chengdi was certain of certain things.
These words made Imperial Concubine Su's scalp tingle and her heart tremble. However, she couldn't defend herself at all because these were the "facts".
Le Chengdi's words simply confirmed that Imperial Concubine Su was pretending to be sick. When it came to her own interests and safety, she recovered faster than anyone else and ran away faster than anyone else. The son that she cared so much about before was completely thrown aside at this moment. In addition, this was a typical example of selfishness.
Who did Le Chengdi care about the most now? His sixth son, Jin Qinwang Li Hongyuan. Imperial Concubine Su's unfailing favor for many years was Li Hongyuan.
Thinking of the situation that she might face in the future, Imperial Concubine Su could only suffer in silence.
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan left Kun Yi Palace and really directly left the palace.
After sitting in the carriage, Jingwan seriously looked at Li Hongyuan. That, when this man wanted to cheat people, it was really easy to do so anytime and anywhere.
Jingwan leaned against Li Hongyuan's side, "We can finally go home and rest well." Her body also softened.
Li Hongyuan pulled her into his arms, "We should have left the palace earlier."
"It doesn't matter. However, Ah Yuan, this time's matter … "Jingwan stared at Li Hongyuan.
