Chapter 466: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 70
When the emperor woke up again, he found that he could neither move nor speak. Su Peisheng, who was accompanying him, saw the emperor open his eyes and hurried forward to report the situation.
"Your Majesty, you are awake."
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that your impatience triggered the toxins in your body, causing you to faint."
After Su Peisheng finished speaking, the emperor did not respond. Instead, his eyes were wide open, veins bulging, and he looked like he wanted to express something but couldn't.
This... this is the call of stroke!
Su Peisheng did not dare to delay and quickly asked the head of the academy to come and see the emperor.
The head of the Imperial Hospital came over quickly, checked the emperor's face, and then leaned over to report, "Your Majesty has had a stroke, but fortunately it is not serious. I will give you acupuncture and moxibustion to help you recover to 60%."
This is also because the emperor is not too old and takes good care of himself on a daily basis, and this is the first time he has symptoms of a stroke, so the head of the hospital is 60% confident. Otherwise, he would not even be 60% confident.
"Your Majesty, do you want acupuncture? If you agree to acupuncture from the head of the hospital, how about your Majesty just blink an eye?"
After all, the person who needed acupuncture was the emperor, and the dean did not dare to make the decision on his own. Everyone knew that the human body had dead points, and without the emperor's personal nod, the dean did not dare to start directly.
But the emperor couldn't speak now, and even if the head of the hospital proposed a treatment plan, no one responded. Su Peisheng thought for a moment, stood in front of the emperor's bed and asked tentatively.
At this moment, the emperor felt that Su Peisheng was worthy of being his confidant who had followed him for so long. His mind was working very quickly. He blinked fiercely at Su Peisheng, and the satisfaction in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Master, the emperor has agreed. Please give him acupuncture."
"Yes."
Since someone had conveyed the emperor's intention, the head of the hospital naturally had to take action. He took out a set of ancestral gold needles and gave the imperial physician several injections in a row. The imperial physician was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and bowed deeply towards the emperor's bed.
"I have fulfilled my mission. After an incense stick of time has passed, I will be able to remove the needle for Your Majesty."
After a stick of incense, the head of the backyard took the needle out of the emperor's body. The emperor spoke tentatively, "Su, Su, Pei, Sheng!"
"Hey, your servant is here!" The emperor could speak. After a while, the emperor's hands and feet could move. Soon, the emperor recovered and could stand up, but after standing up, he found that his hands were still shaking.
"Headmaster, is there nothing I can do?"
The emperor was not satisfied with his condition. He wanted to ask the dean if there was any way to cure it, but it was obvious that the dean had done his best to restore the emperor's condition to its current state. For this reason, the dean could only shake his head and explain.
"I am incompetent. The emperor's stroke was too sudden. Although I used golden needles to clear most of the blockages in the emperor's body, there are still a few meridians that are affected by the secret medicine in the emperor's body and cannot be cleared."
"Secret medicine?"
"How come there is a secret medicine in my body?"
The emperor hadn't paid attention to it when Su Peisheng reported it before, but now after hearing the head of the academy mention it again, the emperor finally remembered the key point.
However, no one present could answer the emperor's question. The emperor took a deep breath to calm his anger. After he finally calmed down, he asked, "Tell me, what kind of drug has poisoned me?"
I thought the imperial doctors present would be able to give an answer to this question, but I didn't expect that everyone would just kneel on the ground with their heads down, trembling and not saying a word.
"You don't know what drug I was poisoned with, and you don't know how I was poisoned!"
"Then what use do I have for you imperial doctors?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Everyone present, including Su Peisheng, knelt down and begged the emperor to calm down.
"Calm down?"
"How can I calm down my anger?"
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry again, another imperial physician suddenly moved. He mustered up the courage to raise his head and replied: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Although I have not yet found out what secret medicine the emperor was poisoned with, the blood that the emperor vomited earlier was examined by me and others and confirmed to contain three ingredients."
"The first two are harmless to the human body, but when combined with this third ingredient, they can form particles that block the body's meridians. After careful identification, I have confirmed that this last ingredient is musk."
Musk, why musk again? Isn’t musk harmless to men?
The emperor was really tired of the word musk, but he had no choice but to accept that he had been poisoned by a secret medicine containing musk.
"Check it out! Check it out for me thoroughly!"
He wanted to know if there was any musk left in the palace that had not been found.
At this moment, the emperor really regretted not severely punishing the queen and allowing the emperor to distribute items soaked in musk everywhere in the harem. Before, the musk was harmless to him and the emperor was just annoyed and did not take it seriously. Now that he learned that it was because of these items soaked in musk that he was poisoned by the secret medicine, the emperor finally realized how excessive he had been in treating the concubines in the harem before.
It’s a pity that even if the emperor regrets now, it’s too late.
He angrily scolded Su Peisheng and others, "How do you do things? Weren't all the items in the palace destroyed? Why am I still affected?"
"Reporting to the emperor, the items were indeed destroyed. I don't know why, why..."
At this point, no matter how angry the emperor was, he could not change the reality that he had been poisoned by the secret medicine. After issuing several orders, the Blood Dropper, Su Peisheng, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs once again launched a trend of thoroughly investigating the source of musk.
The imperial doctors gathered together to discuss how to remove the secret medicine, but unfortunately there was no specific formula for the secret medicine. They only knew about musk, and even the amount and type of musk were unknown. Even if the imperial doctors had more means, they could not come up with an antidote.
After the emperor calmed down, he finally remembered the source of his vomiting blood, and immediately issued an edict to demote Concubine Qi to a noble lady and confine her to Changchun Palace. As for the Queen, the vicious woman who instigated Concubine Qi to poison the Fourth Prince, the emperor forgot about his relationship with Chun Yuan and his sister Chun Yuan as soon as he thought about the Queen's handiwork, the reason why he took Chinese medicine.
"Su Peisheng, draft the decree."
"Concubine Qi poisoned the Fourth Prince. For the sake of the Third Prince Hongshi, she is demoted to a noble lady and confined to Changchun Palace, never to be allowed to come out again."
"The queen has a hypocritical heart and is harming the harem. She has contacted court officials and instigated Concubine Qi. She must be deposed from her position as queen and confined to Jingren Palace, never to leave again!"
Just as Su Peisheng was about to agree, a palace maid from Changchun Palace outside the Qianqing Palace came to report the news. Su Peisheng's apprentice Xiao Xia Zi stopped her and learned from the palace maid that Concubine Qi had committed suicide and left a letter of confession. She then hurried to report to the emperor.
Upon learning that Concubine Qi committed suicide and left behind a letter of confession, the letter only stated that Concubine Qi was possessed by the devil and was afraid that the Fourth Prince would snatch the throne from the Third Prince after returning to the palace. In order to help the Third Prince eliminate his political enemies, she poisoned the Fourth Prince. After the Fourth Prince's death, Concubine Qi clearly realized her mistake, and in order not to implicate the Third Prince and to atone for the Fourth Prince's sins, she sacrificed her life for his.
