Escaped Medical Concubine - C283
“Empress, does this mean that the Emperor’s illness is incurable?”
Han Xing was the first to ask a question as he stared at the imperial physicians with shining eyes, “Is there nothing that can be done about the Imperial Physician Grand Hospital?” Since that secret medicine was developed by the Grand Hospital, then you should know how to remove the effects of the secret medicine right? ”
“Lieutenant General, although the secret medicine was developed by the Supreme Hospital, only the secret medicine has no antidote. Besides, the secret medicine had been in the emperor’s body for a long time, and the medicinal effect had already sunk deep into the bone marrow; there was no way to remove it now. This lowly one might be an imperial physician, but my medical skills are shallow, so I’m really powerless. ”
Nanfeng bowed to Ji Tianning, “The Empress is a genius doctor and also the daughter of a god. Is there no way to save the Emperor?”
“If I had a way, I wouldn’t have waited until this day. When I have all the manpower I can spare, I’m not an Immortal. Yesterday, when he went to the grandmist palace to pray to the True God for the Emperor’s blessings, he was met with the unwillingness of the True God. This was the Emperor’s destiny. If the Emperor doesn’t take the secret medicine, I still have a way to extend his lifespan, and right now, I’m helpless to do anything about it. ”
Everyone became silent for a moment. The room was so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing.
After a long while, Shang Qiuyuan opened his mouth, “How long can the Emperor sustain his dragon body for?”
“It could have lasted three months, but I’m afraid the Emperor will not have much time left after receiving the shock.”
An Lun had already informed the officials about the cause of the disease. Fortunately, Ji Tian Ning had not been in the harem for the past few days. Otherwise, people would have suspected that Ji Tian Ning had been angered to such an extent.
“Your Highness, please forgive me. This subject would like to know if the emperor can still deal with the affairs of the country after he wakes up.” If he couldn’t, could the Emperor leave behind an imperial edict? What should he do in the future? In addition, this humble subject would like to ask Empress, just how much time does the Emperor have left? ”
Ji Tian Ning sighed. When he saw the reverse scale just now, he had already seen the illusions he had seen before. The reverse scale’s head was wrapped in black energy and there were traces of dark energy surrounding it. This situation was a sign of someone dying.
She also remembered that when she was treating the two people who had the same brain tumor as the reverse scale, one of them died not long after because of such a situation.
The other had the same situation when he was operated on. His entire body was surrounded by black air and a dark aura. As a result, he had also died.
“The current situation is not optimistic. The emperor’s condition is serious. My guess is that he won’t be able to hold on for long. “I will do my best, but the Emperor’s emotions cannot fluctuate. If he suffers any stimulation, he will be in danger at any time.”
“How long can the emperor last?”
“Three months.”
This sentence caused the crowd of officials to once again fall into silence. They had expected the illness of the Fire Lin Clan, but no one had expected it in such a short period of time.
“May I ask Empress, when will the emperor wake up?”
“You can wake up tomorrow. Everyone, handle the matters of the court and the government step by step. In the future, the Prime Minister will handle the affairs of the country. The Prime Minister will handle the issues of the civil affairs and the generals will handle the military affairs. If you have any issues, you can enter the palace to give me an introduction or write me a imperial report. After the Emperor wakes up, he needs to meditate for a few days. When the Emperor’s mood is slightly better and calm, I will have all of you meet with the Emperor, and ask him to leave instructions for all of you. ”
The officials were silent for a while, looking at each other without saying anything.
“My beloved officials, it is not suitable for the emperor’s illness to be announced at this time. To the public, the emperor is fasting and praying, so the court will not be in court for the time being.” Every morning, the imperial court would have to take care of the king’s affairs. This matter has already been decided by tomorrow, and tomorrow, the imperial court will announce it.
“This official shall obey every order. I shall follow the orders of the Empress.”
Yan Shouchuan was the first to kneel down, followed by Zuo Si and Yan Zhen. Other than Shang Qiuyuan, everyone else also knelt down, indicating that they had complied.
“All of you should rise. Since there’s nothing else, let’s return to your own matters.”
After everyone left, Ji Tian Ning returned to the palace and helplessly shook her head. Currently, ordinary medicine was useless against the reverse scale, so she could only use acupuncture and moxibustion to temporarily control the condition of the reverse scale.
After applying the needles, he called for the imperial physician to instruct him, “The emperor is not allowed to leave his side everyday. The imperial doctors will take turns attending to the emperor’s side. The needles will be removed in an hour. “Pay attention to the emperor’s reaction and illness, don’t slack in the slightest.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After making all the arrangements, Ji Tian Ning was a bit tired. She left the Fire Reversal Scale’s quarters and went back to rest.
“It’s a tough problem. There are two big problems. It seems like the problems of the Baima Emperor cannot be solved. How should we deal with them?”
Ji Tian Ning suddenly thought of the omnipotent Xuan Bing in the Sacred Land’s God Cave. “Can you do that? First, send the Fire Inverted Scales into the Sacred Land’s Profound Ice Cave, and then use a freezing method to temporarily put him in a hibernating state. Wait until some medicine or method that can cure him is researched, and then take him out for treatment? ”
She hesitated for a while. Although this method had a possibility of being implemented, she had not tried it out before, so she was very hesitant.
“It would be great if he could wear it back, or it could be sent back to the twenty-first century. His illness could be treated, and even if he can’t recover to his original state, he can be cured. He has a relatively healthy body. If it’s possible, it can be sent to the distant future, to a future where one’s medical skills will be even more developed. If that’s the case … ”
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Tian Ning could not help but smile bitterly. Not to mention sending the reverse fire scale to the future, even sending it to the twenty-first century was an impossible task.
The situation of the Southern Champion Kingdom once again underwent a subtle change. Protecting the King Shang Qiuyuan from taking over the imperial power and replacing the Emperor in handling the imperial government, once the imperial edict was issued, the imperial court would be shocked. As a result, the power and strength of Shang Qiuyuan once again ascended to a whole new level.
After more than ten days of recuperation, Huo Ni Lin’s condition had stabilized. However, Ji Tian Ning wouldn’t allow Huo Ni Lin to deal with the imperial government and allowed him to rest in the imperial harem.
“Ning’er, let us go to court. Our time is running out, do you want us to die alone in the harem?”
“You know your own body, right? You still want to go to court? “Fire Reversal Scales, although taking those secret medicines can temporarily help your body recover, it still stimulated the growth of your brain tumor. You can’t hold on for much longer now, do you understand?”
“I understand. That’s why I don’t want to wait for death in the harem, or perhaps before I die, I can do something for the Southern Champion and you and my son.”
“Why are you so stubborn? Can’t the imperial government handle this without you?”
Although Ji Tian Ning was able to control the reverse scale, she didn’t want to use this method to control the reverse scale all the time. Other than when it was necessary or when the reverse scale was resting, she didn’t want to use this method to control the reverse scale.
“Ning’er, are you feeling sorry for me?”
A light flashed through his eyes as he stared at the little kitten. He liked to see her agile and ever-changing expression, her baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
“Hmph, whatever you want to do, I’m too lazy to care.”
Ji Tian Ning turned around, and Huo Ni Lin sighed, “Why are you controlling me? Are you doing this for the Southern Champion or for him?”
“What did you say?”
Ji Tian Ning’s body stopped. The words of the Fiery-Scaled Tiger made Ji Tian Ning’s heart tremble. With the crystal skull’s ability to control the scale and the importance it placed on Shang Qiuyuan, she thought that the Fiery-Scaled Beast wouldn’t know about this. But now, the words from the Fire Lin Clan’s disciple had shocked her.
Ye Zichen turned his head to look at the Fiery Inverted Scale behind him. Was he really under her control, or was he just putting on an act? For the first time, there was doubt that the man behind him, even though weak and ill, still had more willpower than ordinary people.
“This Emperor has already made a plan and written it down. The most important plan in the book is to use the military power and power of the former. But now, not only did we not do so, we instead placed great importance on Shang Qiuyuan and made him our King. When I think about it, only you can do it, causing me to change my mind. But, I don’t know why I changed my mind. Empress, can you give me an answer? ”
His deep eyes contained a sense of loss and helplessness. What else could the current him do?
Shang Qiuyuan had already been bestowed the title of the King, with authority over the south, and now he was even replacing him in handling the imperial government. Even though he understood that he was being manipulated by Ji Tian Ning, he had the heart but not the strength to take over Shang Qiuyuan’s military power.
A smile appeared on Ji Tian Ning’s face. She turned around and took two steps towards the Flaming Demon Scale, “Are you blaming me for changing your mind? You must know that your time is running out. If you act according to your plan, Nanke will definitely fall into turmoil. How innocent are the people of the Southern Champion Kingdom, and how innocent are the people of the world? ”
“So you’re saying, the Empress did it for the Southern Champion, for the people of the Southern Champion?”
The lives of people in this chaotic world are like grass. I only hope that with my limited abilities, I can give the people of the Southern Champion Kingdom and the people of the world some benefits so that they can live and work in peace. The Southern Champion had just stabilized. If you do that, it will only send the Southern Champion court into chaos. Once the Southern Champion was in internal chaos, the other countries would definitely send troops to the Southern Champion and the world would once again fall into chaos. “You should know this better than I do.
“Are you sure this isn’t for Shang Qiuyuan? Or perhaps in your heart, you trust him so much that you think he will be loyal to the Southern Champion? ”
“So what if it’s the reverse scale of fire? Shang Qiuyuan is not ambitious. Aren’t you responsible for forcing him to such a state? Rather than plunging the world into chaos and causing chaos in the Southern Champion City, I would rather choose the way things are right now. Yes, I trust him, and most importantly, both the current Southern Champion and the Feng Yuan that is already included in the Southern Champion territory, cannot lack him. ”
“I’m very curious, how did you control me to do this?”
Ji Tian Ning smiled charmingly, “Have you forgotten that I’m not called the ‘evil witch’?”
“Yes, I still remember that you took control of me the last time at the Village of Rootless, allowing me to release Hateful Heavens.” What makes me curious is why you haven’t been controlling me all this time. ”
“Your majesty should think about it slowly.”
Ji Tian Ning turned around and left. It wasn’t that she couldn’t, but she didn’t want to.
The hand inside his sleeve was tightly clenched. He was unwilling, extremely unwilling. However, he also understood that he was powerless now. The decree issued in his name had ordered Shang Qiuyuan to take over all matters of state in his place. After these two months, Shang Qiuyuan had already taken over the military power of the palace for nine days, and he also had the military power over the original Fengyuan, as well as the authority to handle all matters related to Fengyuan.
He couldn’t think too much into it. It was already difficult for him to control Shang Qiuyuan now, and right now, he finally felt like he had a little more strength left over in his heart.
“What should I do? They will surely change their stance towards the empress once they know that our time is running out. “Now that Shang Qiuyuan’s power is too great, I no longer have the strength of heart to retract it. Should we believe him, or …”
Huo Ni Lin understood that once the officials knew that his illness was incurable and that time was running out, they would definitely side with Ji Tian Ning. Not to mention that Ji Tian Ning was the daughter of a god. With the heavenly powers of Feng Xiang, most of the court officials would side with Ji Tian Ning.
After all, he didn’t have many days left. Ji Tian Ning would definitely be in charge of the political affairs after he went. After the birth of the prince, he was deemed to be the new monarch, and Ji Tian Ning would temporarily take over the imperial government in the name of the empress dowager.
What made Huo Ni Lin worry the most was that he didn’t know if there was any brotherly love between Ji Tian Ning and Qiu Yuan, or if there was some other kind of relationship between them.
“Shang Qiuyuan, do you really only have the love of a brother and sister with Ning’er? Can I trust you to entrust my son and the world of the Southern Champion to you? “
