Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C287
Hearing this, the imperial physicians were even more certain that Shen Yusu had brought back a Black Dragon recipe.
Shen Yusu stood up, looked at Shen Youhuang with cold and proud eyes, and said, “This king has brought along an ancient formula that has cured tens of thousands of patients with the plague. You do not believe that as long as this recipe is given to royal father to consume, the effects will be apparent.”
Even though the doctors did not trust the ancient formula that Shen Yusu was talking about, they had no choice but to take the prescription. The faster the young eunuch, the faster they moved to grab the medicine.
Seeing that Shen Yusu had given the order, everyone started to get busy, but they coldly laughed in their hearts, not believing that Shen Yusu’s supposed ancient formula would be effective.
At this time, Honorable Su hurriedly walked in from outside, came to Shen Youhuang’s side and said in a low voice: “Prince Cheng, we just received news from outside the palace that King Xuan’s prescription had already been distributed to the plague patient yesterday. The epidemic situation has already been controlled, and there are signs of recovery.”
Shen Youhuang was shocked in his heart: Shen Yusu’s prescription is actually really effective!
If this Shen Yusu cured the emperor’s plague, then wouldn’t this plan of killing two birds with one stone be useless?
Thinking up to here, Shen Youhuang immediately took a few steps forward, and said coldly: “Sixth Brother, you’re too reckless, royal father has a precious body, how can I let you test the medicine?”
Shen Yusu looked at the hypocritical Shen Youhuang, and said indifferently: “This recipe was promoted in the epidemic area yesterday, and already had its effects, Prince Cheng need not worry.”
However, Shen Youhuang pressed on. “You’ve only used this medicine on those lowly commoners, and those people haven’t completely recovered yet, how can it be used on royal father? How could those sick villagers compare with the Emperor’s dragon body? Don’t tell me you want to use royal father’s medicine? ”
While the two were arguing, the Empress Dowager, Imperial Consort, and Xuanjiao had also arrived at the Qianyuan Palace.
As soon as the empress dowager entered the palace, she rushed to the emperor’s bedside and gripped his hand tightly. “Emperor, mother will see you later. Wake up …”
When the Imperial Concubine heard the two princes arguing when they entered, she swept a cold glance over Shen Youhuang and said: “Since the emperor’s illness is urgent and needs to be treated as soon as possible, there is no time to lose. Since the palace doctors are at a loss for what to do, then let’s hurry up and use the medicinal formula brought by the His Highness King Xuan!”
Even though the empress dowager had arrived, Shen Youhuang was not afraid. He had never placed the young Imperial Concubine in his eyes, nor did he even glance at her.
“If this unknown medicinal formula is harmful to His Majesty’s dragon body, who would be able to take responsibility for it?”
The empress dowager glanced at Shen Youhuang from the corner of her eyes, suppressing her hatred as she remained silent.
After all, she came here today only to support the imperial concubine and Yu Su. If she had to suppress Shen Youhuang, these young imperial concubines and King Xuan s wouldn’t have had the chance to train themselves to face this kind of situation.
Shen Yusu’s gaze sharpened, as she straightened her tender shoulders. “This king guarantees with my head that this medicinal formula will definitely be able to cure Royal Father! The plague is approaching menacingly, if it is not treated quickly then it will worsen. Now with the medication, it is the best time to treat it, no one can delay my father’s illness even if they have ulterior motives. If anything goes wrong, This King will willingly take the blame! ”
Her Majesty could not help but slightly nod her head.
Yu Su had a temper similar to Shen Lingjue ever since she was young. Although she was young, she did have a lot of responsibilities.
All of the imperial physicians looked at the empress dowager and thought, the emperor is in a coma, so the empress dowager’s status is the most noble here. This matter should still be decided by her.
The Imperial Concubine saw that the two of them were in a deadlock. She slowly walked to the Emperor’s bed, lifted up her skirt, and knelt down.
She said with hot tears in her eyes, “Your Majesty, chenqie knows that you’ve been ill for too long. You definitely don’t want to delay any longer, right? After all, this is the imperial harem, and someone with the authority to decide whether or not you use medicine. It’s not the previous prince, but someone who controls the Phoenix Seal within the imperial harem. ”
Then she looked at Her Majesty, who gave her a nod of approval.
The imperial concubine stood up and turned around. She took out a golden phoenix seal from her sleeve and held it up.
When the imperial physicians saw the phoenix imprint, they hurriedly brushed their robes and kneeled down with a thud.
The Imperial Concubine calmly looked down at the crowd and said, “I ask that all of you imperial doctors remain in your Qianyuan Palace and wholeheartedly treat the Emperor. If there’s any problem with this prescription, I’ll take responsibility for it.”
All the imperial physicians hurriedly accepted the orders, not daring to be negligent as they began to busy themselves with ointment and acupuncture.
Shen Youhuang never thought that both the imperial concubine and the empress dowager would come prepared, even with the Phoenix Seal on them.
He looked at the Phoenix Seal, the symbol of the highest authority in the harem, and said nothing. He could not help but grind his teeth in hatred.
Shen Yusu personally brought over a bowl of medicine and watched as his imperial concubine carefully fed it to the emperor.
After an hour, the emperor finally slowly woke up.
Imperial Concubine and Yu Su stood beside the bed. When they saw the Emperor wake up, they both laughed with tears in their eyes.
Seeing that, Shen Youhuang also rushed over, pretending to be filial and worried.
The emperor wanted to call out the imperial concubine’s name, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn’t even complete a sentence.
Noble Su and Li Wan’s concubine had been on tenterhooks all night. Now that the emperor had woken up, they were all relieved. Thank god.
The empress dowager finally stood up and said, “Imperial Consort, I’m tired. Go back to your Hail Palace first, and watch over the emperor until he recovers. Then, come and report this to me.”
The Imperial Concubine quickly took hold of the Empress Dowager’s hand and led her past the screen at the bedchamber entrance.
At this time, he saw Venerable Su and Li Wanshuang standing in the outer room, waiting for the Emperor to summon them.
When the empress dowager saw them, she looked displeased and gave a heavy snort. “Imperial Consort, it’s time for you to take care of this matter!” Finished speaking, he walked out of the Qianyuan Palace without looking back.
The imperial concubine stood on the spot and glared at the two of them. She could not help but say, “Su Jianmin, Li Wan Shu, do you know your crimes? Still aren’t kneeling down? ”
Li Wan was already guilty, so when she heard this, she bent her knees and immediately knelt down.
When Honorable Su saw Li Wan and her concubine kneeling down, although he didn’t know what Imperial Concubine meant, he could only bite his lips and obediently kneel down.
A cold light flashed through the Imperial Concubine’s eyes. “I’ve been ordered by the emperor and empress dowager to govern six palaces. Now that His Majesty has contracted the plague, it’s because the two of you didn’t serve the emperor well enough!”
“Imperial Noble Concubine! Chenqie did her best to serve him, but how could he defend against this plague … Chenqie is innocent! ” Noble Su’s eyes reddened and he immediately cried out his injustice.
Hearing that, Li Wan Xia also wanted to explain herself, but the imperial concubine ignored her and continued, “Su Jia Min was demoted to a seventh-grade concubine. She was banned from the palace with Li Wan Zhui, and after thinking about it, they were each sentenced to a fine of half a year! If you continue to cry out for injustice, the punishment will be doubled! ”
Although Su Jianmin and Li Wanshu were unwilling, when they saw the imperial concubine holding the Phoenix Seal, they understood that the imperial concubine had the support of the empress dowager. They could only clench their teeth and cry out, “Chenqie thanks the empress for your grace …”
