Chapter 415.2: Layers of Dense Fog
However, at present, everything was still covered in dense fog, still having not been able to grab onto the crucial thread.
Le Cheng Emperor looked to the Empress on the recliner, falling silent for so ti, “Can the Empress’s condition be cured?”
“Replying to your Majesty, can’t, can only alleviate. The amount of revive that the Empress took exceeded the expected amount. Right now, can only have the remaining dicine in her body discharged out, and have the greatest harm reduced. Afterwards, her Highness’s recovery ti will be pushed back by at least three months, and after recovering, her Highness will also no longer be as healthy as before, afterwards, even becoming susceptible to aging, fearing the bitter cold in winter and dreading the intense heat in sumr. And if slightly not careful, will just fall ill, also having an even harder ti recovering compared to normal people.” Gong Jiu said based on his principles as a doctor, not adding nor censoring, straightforwardly stating as is.
“Do your best then.” Le Cheng Emperor waved his hand.
From these words, one can just tell, the Empress truly wasn’t that favored by the Emperor. If truly cared about, then it won’t just be ‘do your best’, but rather, absolutely must cure, and if unable to, bring one’s severed head as apology.
“Your Majesty, this commoner will first assist her Highness in regurgitating. Afterwards, preparing the dicinal bath still need so ti. This commoner suggest your Majesty invite the other imperial physicians over to take her Highness’s pulse.”
Le Cheng Emperor actually felt there was no need, but he also understood Gong Jiu’s misgivings. After all, he was Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor. If just him alone handling, then perhaps soone will use this matter to make a fuss. That way, Jin Qinwang will inevitably be implicated. After all, Jin Qinwang also had reason to poison the Empress, although forcibly saying it might be a bit far-fetched. ———Who let him be Noble Consort Su’s foster son? In fact, the disagreent between them recently can even be said as putting on an act.
Thus, Le Cheng Emperor nodded, letting soone have so of the imperial physicians in Ganlu Palace called over. Afterward, he sent soone to have this matter told to Noble Consort Su a little later.
Le Cheng Emperor was very clear, these won in his harem were all very powerful. To want to completely subdue them, one still needed to use so ans from ti to ti. Although he didn’t want to admit, this was indeed also one of the reasons why Le Cheng Emperor can’t casually dispose of them as he pleased. Just imagine, if just a woman with ordinary capabilities, he can just abolish with one line. Even if needing to separately establish a power balance, it was also sothing that couldn’t be more simple. After all, for the great majority of the won in the imperial harem, their position all rely depended on his favor and honor. That’s right, the great majority!
However, these few won were all too powerful. Disposing them, Le Cheng Emperor worried that it will leave behind hidden dangers. It was still better like this, leaving them to mutually impede one another, and the other won of the imperial harem will have less opportunities to cause trouble.
Towards the situation in the inner hall, the people in the outer hall weren’t very clear about, but they also could guess most of it.
Li Su Yan’s ability in handling things didn’t need to be doubted, but he was still a step too late. That imperial physician had died in the study of his own ho, appearing to be suicide. When the Black Clad Guards ca looking, his family finally noticed this matter. That imperial physician’s manor has already fallen into chaos. However, Li Su Yan was unmoved, ordering to have that not so big manor guarded up. Afterwards, he imdiately took a trip to the Imperial Physicians Court to look up the prescription record for the Empress. However, in the end, it didn’t exist. He had also asked the people of the Imperial Physicians Court, but unexpectedly, there wasn’t the drug called revive.
When Li Su Yan reported back to Le Cheng Emperor, the other imperial physicians were also present, each and every one filled with cold sweat on their foreheads. After all, that was their colleague that they’d seen not long ago.
Le Cheng Emperor didn’t have any expression on the surface. Perhaps, after that little eunuch from the imperial kitchen got silenced, he’d already predicted the possibility of another person dying. However, since it happened outside the palace, then it should just be handled by the Judicial Court.
anwhile, Noble Consort Su, who had received news, nearly lost her soul from the fright, where did she still have the mind to sulk. Originally, her body was indeed not too well, but through this fright, it instead improved quite a bit. Unable to continue lying on the recliner, she hurriedly rushed to Kunyi Palace. She was an imperial consort after all, so she didn’t have that many misgivings, directly entering the inner hall. Seeing that many people present, she finally paused her steps. Tidying her not at all ssy appearance, “This consort greets your Majesty.”
“You ca.” Le Cheng Emperor’s voice was indifferent, as if very certain that she would surely co.
Noble Consort Su was alard. She suspected whether her rushing over first thing was correct or not. Additionally, it can’t be that his Majesty really suspected her, right? “Your Majesty………….”
Le Cheng Emperor faintly swept her a glance. Noble Consort Su perceptively shut her mouth, not daring to say more.
When the Empress began taking the dicinal bath, Le Cheng Emperor took all the unrelated people to the outer hall.
Without waiting for Le Cheng Emperor to say anything, Li Hong Yuan stood up first, “Right now the palace is in a ss, so this son will return to one’s manor first.” His line of sight didn’t land on Noble Consort Su once.
Just now, she’d been in too much of a rush that she didn’t notice Li Hong Yuan. In reality, it was also because Li Hong Yuan had deliberately ‘shifted’ towards a relatively dark corner.
“Yuan’er………..”
Li Hong Yuan glanced at her this ti, “Consort mother finally noticed this son’s existence?” His expression was sowhat gloomy and unclear.
“Yuan’er, no, that……….”
“This son will withdraw.” Li Hong Yuan just turned and left. Jing Wan hurriedly curtsied, and afterwards, chased out after him.
Noble Consort Su’s heart jolted, having a bad feeling.
She subconsciously turned towards Le Cheng Emperor. Le Cheng Emperor was staring at her with a cold and dark expression. It’s not that Noble Consort Su has never seen this kind of expression on him before, but it had never been directed at her. Right now, experiencing for the first ti, she sincerely felt how terrifying the ruler’s might was. “Previously, noble consort, because of Yuan’er, fell ill, yet now, hearing that the Empress’s illness worsened, just imdiately recovered. In your haste, you didn’t even notice your own son. For you two to have such deep sisterly feelings, this emperor is very gratified.”
With her coming, his son just left. Certain things, Le Cheng Emperor has also determined to be true.
These words made Noble Consort Su incomparably numb in the head, her heart shivering, but she simply had no way of explaining, because it was all ‘true’.
And Le Cheng Emperor’s words practically just solidified the fact that Noble Consort Su was feigning illness. And when matters concerned her own interest and safety, she just recovered faster than anyone, running faster than anyone. The son that she’d previously cared about that desperately, this while, got completely tossed aside. This was just the typical example of being selfish and self-serving.
And who did Le Cheng Emperor at present cared about the most? His sixth son, Jin Qinwang, Li Hong Yuan. For Noble Consort Su to have been endlessly favored for this many years, Li Hong Yuan was one of the factors.
Thinking of what she might face in the future, Noble Consort Su had no choice but to suffer in silence, having hardship but unable to voice.
Jing Wan left Kunyi Palace with Li Hong Yuan, really just leaving the palace directly.
Once they sat down in the carriage, Jing Wan finally looked towards Li Hong Yuan in all seriousness. When this man wanted to dig a pit for soone, it really was very easy, able to do it anyti and anywhere.
Jing Wan sat by Li Hong Yuan’s side, leaning against him, “Finally can return ho and nicely rest.” Her body also relaxing.
Li Hong Yuan had her gathered into his arms, “Should’ve left the palace earlier.”
“It doesn’t matter. But, Ah Yuan, the matter this ti………….” Jing Wan stared at Li Hong Yuan.
Li Hong Yuan helplessly smiled, “It wasn’t .”
