Chapter 172 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (68)

"Yes, father, the imperial concubine said she wanted to visit the Xirong Palace, so I brought her here." Helian Yu smiled.

Shen Qingjiao looked at King Xirong and smiled, "I have a lot of experience in medicine. How about I take King Xirong's pulse?"

King Xirong smiled and refused. "Every day the witch doctor checks my health and says I am in good health. I won't bother Concubine Shen."

Hearing this, Helian Yu's eyebrows jumped.

He recalled that the witch doctor had said that the poison in his body had been there since his mother's womb and was incurable.

But Jiaojiao asserted that he was poisoned in recent years and his illness was successfully cured in the end.

He had an inexplicable premonition that perhaps his father had also been poisoned.

So he hurriedly said, "Father, the Imperial Concubine is an excellent doctor. Please let her take your pulse. This is a rare opportunity."

"In that case, then okay." Seeing his son speak, King Xirong no longer refused and stretched out his hand for Shen Qingjiao to take his pulse.

After Shen Qingjiao took the patient's pulse, an expression of "as expected" appeared on her face.

She looked at King Xirong with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice, "You are poisoned."

King Xirong was stunned at first, then shook his head, "Impossible, Concubine Shen must have made a mistake."

Shen Qingjiao was not in a hurry, and opened her red lips lightly, "If I am not mistaken, the palm of King Xirong must be tinged with a light green color, and there is a dull pain three inches to the left of his navel."

The King of Xirong turned pale.

Recently, he did have a dull pain three inches to the left of his navel.

He asked a witch doctor, who said it was nothing serious and that the symptoms would heal naturally if left untreated.

When Helian Yu saw his father's expression, he quickly grabbed his father's hand and took a closer look. He found that it was indeed covered with a layer of green!

Seeing that both King Xirong and Helian Yu's faces changed drastically, Shen Qingjiao curled her lips slightly, "King Xirong, don't worry. I have a way to cure your illness, but I have a condition."

"What conditions? You tell me." The King of Xirong looked unhappy.

What does this woman mean?

First he offered to take his pulse, and after finding out he was ill, he now raised his posture and negotiated terms with him.

Sensing the unhappy mood of the man opposite her, Shen Qingjiao frowned slightly, "If the King of Xirong is not interested in discussing, I will not force him, and let this matter drop."

After saying that, she stood up and pretended to leave.

Helian Yu saw that the situation was not good, and hurried to stop her, "My queen, please don't be anxious. Your father just hasn't made up his mind yet, and he is not going to reject you."

The King of Xirong was not buying it. He snorted coldly, "Son, take Concubine Shen around for a few days. Your father will find another doctor. Maybe someone else can cure this disease."

Seeing his father's gloomy face, Helian Yu couldn't force him to make peace, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, son understands."

The system communicated with Shen Qingjiao in her mind, "Host, if King Xirong is cured by someone else, you won't be able to negotiate with him, right?"

Shen Qingjiao was calm and composed, "This poison is extremely complicated and not so easy to handle."

After a pause, she added, "Besides, if other people can detoxify, it doesn't matter. I can give King Xirong some secret medicine that doesn't harm his body, and I can scare him into cooperating with me."

The system's eyes widened instantly.

After a few seconds, it couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with infinite emotion, "The host is too strong. King Xirong is simply vulnerable in front of you."

For three consecutive days, Shen Qingjiao followed Helian Yu everywhere and had a lot of fun.

The King of Xirong ordered his men to invite famous doctors from all over to treat him.

However, after examining him, all the famous doctors shook their heads and waved their hands, saying that the disease was too difficult and they were powerless to treat it.

Upon learning of this result, the King of Xirong became depressed.

After half a day, he finally had the nerve to order the guards to invite Shen Qingjiao.

Seeing the guard coming, Shen Qingjiao took out a parchment scroll from her bosom and handed it to the other party, "This is the condition proposed by me, King Xirong, please take a look and consider it carefully."

The guard returned to the palace and respectfully handed the parchment scroll to the King of Xirong.

When the King of Xirong took it and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

The content was that the royal family of Xirong must promise to coexist peacefully with the Celestial Empire within 30 years and not to unilaterally initiate war.

In other words, Concubine Shen actually asked him to sign a ceasefire agreement!!!

After thinking for a long time, the King of Xirong had no choice but to sign and seal the armistice agreement and sent someone to deliver it to Concubine Shen.

After all, staying alive is more important than anything else.

After Shen Qingjiao received the parchment scroll signed by the King of Xirong, she excitedly called Huo Haochu to come and take a look.

After Huo Haochu saw the contents clearly, he was amazed and speechless for a long time.

In his heart, Shen Qingjiao is even more powerful than the gods in heaven.

Without spending a single soldier and with just a few words, he easily maintained peace on the northwestern border for thirty years.

His eyes were slightly moist.

When he was young, he grew up on the northwest frontier and witnessed countless families being torn apart by the war. He never thought that the war would end one day.

From today on, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

From then on, the people in the northwest border area could live and work in peace and enjoy rest and recuperation for thirty years!!!

Next, for five consecutive days, Shen Qingjiao made medicine to detoxify King Xirong.

On the sixth day, she took the pulse of King Xirong again.

When she found that his physical condition had improved greatly, she said, "I will prescribe a prescription. As long as King Xirong takes it for a month, the disease will be cured."

"However, I want to remind you," Shen Qingjiao changed the subject and continued, "Your symptoms of poisoning are 70% similar to those of the Third Prince. In my opinion, you must have been poisoned by the same person."

The King of Xirong turned pale.

After a while, he said angrily, "There are too many people serving me, and I have no idea. Who poisoned me?"

Shen Qingjiao thought for a moment and suggested, "King Xirong can ask someone to follow the witch doctor and see which prince he has a close personal relationship with. Perhaps, he can get the answer."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

The King of Xirong was so surprised that his mouth slightly opened, but he quickly reacted, "I understand, thank you Concubine Shen for your advice."

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Helian Yu's eyes.

In fact, he already knew that his eldest brother had a close relationship with the witch doctor, and he also found some evidence that his eldest brother had poisoned him, but he just didn't have the right opportunity to tell his father.

Fortunately, Jiaojiao gave her father a hint.

In this way, he can also provide the evidence he has found.

It just so happens that my eldest brother is on a diplomatic mission to a neighboring country and is not in the country, so he cannot interfere with him.

Therefore, for him, it was a golden opportunity from heaven.

Shen Qingjiao realized that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so she did not stay any longer. After having lunch with the King of Xirong, she returned to the Heavenly Kingdom.

Helian Yu was busy dealing with his elder brother's affairs and could not go with Shen Qingjiao.

So he promised to go to the Celestial Empire to find her after things were over.

Shen Qingjiao agreed with a smile.

After leaving the Western Rong Kingdom, the group returned to the Celestial Empire.

Shen Qingjiao was walking on the street, but she found that the people had sad faces and were complaining.

After inquiring, they learned that since Ye Junchen became regent, he had forcibly implemented the farming and warfare club system and the corvée system, making the lives of ordinary people even more difficult.

In addition, the imperial court also implemented a labor policy of half-work and half-farming, forcing many people to lose their freedom. Not only did the family work hard in different places, they also had to live separately.

However, they soon discovered that their situation was also very bad.

Over the next day, they encountered three assassination attempts in succession.
