Chapter 416.2: Strange Matter

Whether or not these people can fall asleep was one thing. Tonight, the most hard working certainly was still Gong Jiu, helping the Empress discharge the remaining effects of the revive, and concocting an antidote for Shu Consort Qin. These all weren’t relaxing matters, afraid he all won’t be able to sleep tonight. However, for someone coming from the shadow guards, it was merely just not sleeping for a night, even not sleeping for three days all didn’t have too big of an influence. However, in the end, his identity was no longer the same, so even if completely fine, he still needed to pretend he wasn’t, else someone will certainly grow suspicious.

After the Empress finished soaking in the medicinal bath, his face already showed obvious signs of weariness, appearing to be forcibly holding up the whole time. When one’s medical skills reached Gong Jiu’s level, to want to seamlessly make some very convincing or even undetectable conditions appear on oneself, it practically couldn’t be more simple. “Your Majesty, please allow this commoner to rest for a moment before preparing Shu Consort Qin’s antidote. This commoner’s condition right now isn’t considered good, worrying that one might make a mistake during the process.”

Le Cheng Emperor saw that his complexion was faintly pale, having obvious signs of fatigue, appearing to be very tired, most likely having spent quite a bit of energy. “You’ve also worked hard today. As long as you can ensure that Shu Consort is in good health, there’s no harm in resting a little. Once you cure the Empress and Shu Consort, this emperor naturally will reward you generously.”

“Your Majesty is too serious, this commoner is also acting under orders, and besides, treating illnesses and saving patients, it’s also nothing more than just the duty of a doctor.”

Upon hearing this, Le Cheng Emperor’s thoughts slightly cooled a little. He admit, he was tempted to snatch the person from his son. Just think, having such a doctor that had medical skills that exceeded all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Physicians Court, one certainly would feel much more reassured. However, snatching the person from his son, in the end, was a bit embarrassing. If switch with his other sons……………Alright, if it was his other sons, they would’ve long had the person sent before him to show their filial piety. As for that bastard…………..Le Cheng Emperor thought for a moment, still feeling quite gloomy.

However, if the others had really sent such a highly skilled doctor, he would also suspect whether or not his sons were harboring ulterior motives, so no matter how skilled, he still won’t use.

“This emperor has always been clear in reward and punishment. Even if you’re someone from Jin Qinwang Manor, what should be yours, there won’t be a share less. Why don’t you go rest.”

“Many thanks your Majesty.” Gong Jiu prepared to leave, but paused in his steps, “Your Majesty’s esteemed body concerns the entire Qi Yuan mountains and rivers. Your Majesty should further take care of oneself more.”

Le Cheng Emperor also understood his meaning, “How can this emperor fall asleep?”

“How about your Majesty let the imperial physicians take your pulse and prescribe some nerve calming medicine.”

“Having yours is better, what use does this emperor have for them, you can just examine this emperor.”

The space between Gong Jiu’s brows furrowed a little, “Your Majesty, it can’t be said as such. As the saying goes, there are specialties in every profession. The various imperial physicians have a lot of experience in practicing medicine, not something this commoner can compare to. Just, they might be a bit more cautious in their conduct.”

“You don’t need to explain for them. It’s not just one or two days that this emperor has been facing them. What their situation is like, how can this emperor not know?”

The group of imperial physicians couldn’t help but toughen up once again. Their purpose here was also nothing more than just taking the Empress’s pulse, and before and after the repeated medicinal baths, they all weren’t able to relax. Aside from this, it was also just studying Gong Jiu’s prescription. There were also those among them that knew about the revive, just under a different name, and towards its effects, they also understood a little, but they didn’t know that when exceeding a fixed amount, the aftermath would be this serious. They wanted to know more, and Gong Jiu also wasn’t stingy to answer.

As such, in Le Cheng Emperor’s heart, it actually established a positive image of someone that was strict, conscientious, if not matters regarding medicine and disease, then for the most part always silent and taciturn, selfless, not conceited of his own abilities, and abided by the duties of a doctor. Compared to the imperial physicians that have already become sly in the ways of the world, having reservations for all things, it was indeed much better. “You also don’t need to make excuses.” Le Cheng Emperor extended his wrist.

Gong Jiu in the end didn’t continue refusing.

Gong Jiu took the pulse, and very quickly prescribed the medicine. Prior to leaving, his gaze landed on Noble Consort Su, “Your Highness’s noble body is unwell, and should take medicine when needed and rest when needed. The thoughts should also relax a little.”

Upon hearing this, Noble Consort Su’s complexion was a bit peculiar, casually casting Le Cheng Emperor a glance, “This consort’s own body’s condition, this consort naturally understand, you have heart.”

“This commoner will take one’s leave.” Any excessive words, Gong Jiu no longer said, directly going to the side hall to rest.

Even the Empress all needed the imperial physicians to reexamine, so Le Cheng Emperor further won’t be an exception. The imperial physicians went forward one by one, then looking over Gong Jiu’s prescription, “…………….There isn’t a better prescription than this.”

Le Cheng Emperor reassuringly let someone go prepare the medicine.

Le Cheng Emperor turned towards Noble Consort Su, “Also take the pulse for Noble Consort.” Gong Jiu’s words at least proved that Noble Consort Su was indeed not too well. Thus, Le Cheng Emperor’s attitude towards her also softened a little.

Noble Consort Su’s eyes reddened, faintly swelling with tears, “Many thanks your Majesty.”

“You’ve also worked hard today, so why don’t you return early to rest. Don’t really exhaust yourself completely, causing the children to be worried.” In other words, the body being unwell, that was also because of fatigue, and not because of getting ‘angered’ by her son. And being busy for the sake of the Emperor’s birthday celebration, no matter how tired, that is also what one should do. Even if getting exhausted to death, one still needed to say that the imperial benevolence was vast and mighty.

Noble Consort Su was also quite eloquent in saying superficial things, and Le Cheng Emperor felt quite soothed inside.

The two of them separately took their medicine, and Le Cheng Emperor very quickly just felt drowsy, the thought of having Gong Jiu ‘snatched over’ also intensifying a little.

With Le Cheng Emperor like this, it was also just resting in Kunyi Palace. On the day of his birthday, regardless of where he rested, it seemingly all wasn’t a problem. However, speaking of which, towards the newly conferred Xian Consort, to express his favor, he should rest in Xian Consort Wei’s Yihe Palace, but unfortunately………..

Once Le Cheng Emperor fell asleep, Noble Consort Su finally returned to Yucui Palace. She was clearly very tired, but this while, she was unable to fall asleep, sinking into a very long period of silence.

Two hours later, Gong Jiu got up and continued working, some of the medicinal ingredients for the antidote although were rare and valuable, for a place such as the imperial palace, these things were never lacking. That’s why, it won’t hold up anything. This poison was aggressive, but once the antidote was taken, the effects were also quick. After Shu Consort Qin took the antidote, there was visible improvement.

The morning of the next day, Jing Wan was in the middle of having breakfast with Li Hong Yuan, when someone from the palace hastily came over, saying that her Highness Shu Consort had already woken, wanting to meet with Jin Qinwang and Jin Wangfei.

Never mind the others, even Li Hong Yuan’s eyes all penetrated with a trace of confusion. Shu Consort had just taken a trip back from the gates of hell. Even if the first person she wanted to see wasn’t Le Cheng Emperor, it should still be her maiden family, so how could it be the two of them?
