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 some time, Can the Empresss condition be cured?

Replying to your Majesty, cant, can only alleviate. The amount of revive that the Empress took exceeded the expected amount. Right now, can only have the remaining medicine in her body discharged out, and have the greatest harm reduced. Afterwards, her Highnesss recovery time 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 summer. And if slightly not careful, will just fall ill, also having an even harder time 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 wasnt that favored by the Emperor. If truly cared about, then it wont just be do your best, but rather, absolutely must cure, and if unable to, bring ones severed head as apology.

Your Majesty, this commoner will first a.s.sist her Highness in regurgitating. Afterwards, preparing the medicinal bath still need some time. This commoner suggest your Majesty invite the other imperial physicians over to take her Highnesss pulse.

Le Cheng Emperor actually felt there was no need, but he also understood Gong Jius misgivings. After all, he was Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manors manor doctor. If just him alone handling, then perhaps someone will use this matter to make a fuss. That way, Jin Qinw.a.n.g will inevitably be implicated. After all, Jin Qinw.a.n.g also had reason to poison the Empress, although forcibly saying it might be a bit far-fetched. Who let him be n.o.ble Consort Sus foster son? In fact, the disagreement between them recently can even be said as putting on an act.

Thus, Le Cheng Emperor nodded, letting someone have some of the imperial physicians in Ganlu Palace called over. Afterward, he sent someone to have this matter told to n.o.ble Consort Su a little later.

Le Cheng Emperor was very clear, these women in his harem were all very powerful. To want to completely subdue them, one still needed to use some means from time to time. Although he didnt want to admit, this was indeed also one of the reasons why Le Cheng Emperor cant 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 something that couldnt be more simple. After all, for the great majority of the women in the imperial harem, their position all merely depended on his favor and honor. Thats right, the great majority!

However, these few women 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 women of the imperial harem will have less opportunities to cause trouble.

Towards the situation in the inner hall, the people in the outer hall werent very clear about, but they also could guess most of it.

Li Su Yans ability in handling things didnt need to be doubted, but he was still a step too late. That imperial physician had died in the study of his own home, appearing to be suicide. When the Black Clad Guards came looking, his family finally noticed this matter. That imperial physicians manor has already fallen into chaos. However, Li Su Yan was unmoved, ordering to have that not so big manor guarded up. Afterwards, he immediately took a trip to the Imperial Physicians Court to look up the prescription record for the Empress. However, in the end, it didnt exist. He had also asked the people of the Imperial Physicians Court, but unexpectedly, there wasnt 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 theyd seen not long ago.

Le Cheng Emperor didnt have any expression on the surface. Perhaps, after that little eunuch from the imperial kitchen got silenced, hed 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.

Meanwhile, n.o.ble 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 didnt have that many misgivings, directly entering the inner hall. Seeing that many people present, she finally paused her steps. Tidying her not at all messy appearance, This consort greets your Majesty.

You came. Le Cheng Emperors voice was indifferent, as if very certain that she would surely come.

n.o.ble Consort Su was alarmed. She suspected whether her rus.h.i.+ng over first thing was correct or not. Additionally, it cant be that his Majesty really suspected her, right? Your Majesty.

Le Cheng Emperor faintly swept her a glance. n.o.ble Consort Su perceptively shut her mouth, not daring to say more.

When the Empress began taking the medicinal 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 mess, so this son will return to ones manor first. His line of sight didnt land on n.o.ble Consort Su once.

Just now, shed been in too much of a rush that she didnt notice Li Hong Yuan. In reality, it was also because Li Hong Yuan had deliberately s.h.i.+fted towards a relatively dark corner.

Yuaner..

Li Hong Yuan glanced at her this time, Consort mother finally noticed this sons existence? His expression was somewhat gloomy and unclear.

Yuaner, no, that.

This son will withdraw. Li Hong Yuan just turned and left. Jing Wan hurriedly curtsied, and afterwards, chased out after him.

n.o.ble Consort Sus 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. Its not that n.o.ble 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 time, she sincerely felt how terrifying the rulers might was. Previously, n.o.ble consort, because of Yuaner, fell ill, yet now, hearing that the Empresss illness worsened, just immediately recovered. In your haste, you didnt 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 n.o.ble Consort Su incomparably numb in the head, her heart s.h.i.+vering, but she simply had no way of explaining, because it was all true.

And Le Cheng Emperors words practically just solidified the fact that n.o.ble 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 shed 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 Qinw.a.n.g, Li Hong Yuan. For n.o.ble 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, n.o.ble Consort Su had no choice but to suffer in silence, having hards.h.i.+p 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 someone, it really was very easy, able to do it anytime and anywhere.

Jing Wan sat by Li Hong Yuans side, leaning against him, Finally can return home and nicely rest. Her body also relaxing.

Li Hong Yuan had her gathered into his arms, Shouldve left the palace earlier.

It doesnt matter. But, Ah Yuan, the matter this time. Jing Wan stared at Li Hong Yuan.

Li Hong Yuan helplessly smiled, It wasnt me.
