Chapter 158 The Emperor is Seriously Ill
"Ugh—" Xuanyuan Yu retched exaggeratedly, "So disgusting? And A Jing!"
Xie Mishuang and Ouyang Jing turned a blind eye to Xuanyuan Yu's childish behavior.
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead. "Oh right! I almost forgot something! Father is seriously ill and is now terminally ill! Sister, aren't you a disciple of Divine Doctor Li? Come with me to the palace and save Father!"
Xie Mishuang's expression froze, and he nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Then, she took Ouyang Jing and Aya and followed Xuanyuan Yu into the palace.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Regent's Palace was tense.
"How ridiculous!" Gongsun Shang slammed the table, seething with anger. "You're not even married yet, yet you dare keep other women in the mansion without my sister's knowledge! You simply don't take our Regent Palace seriously!"
Gongsun Hongyun waved his hand shrewdly, "No. Prince Yu has been away from Kyoto for such a long time, he definitely didn't go looking for a woman for pleasure. That woman must have some special identity, she can't be his lover." He narrowed his eyes, a gleam in his eyes, "Shang'er, send someone to investigate, make sure to find out everything about that woman!"
Gongsun Mei stamped her feet, her face full of grievance. "Dad! Of course not! That woman is so beautiful, like a fairy! His Royal Highness Prince Yu must have been bewitched by her, that's why he brought her back despite our engagement!"
Gongsun Hongyun snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't be so impatient! There are many beauties in the world, but the most important thing is status! You are the daughter of the Regent of my Xuanyuan Empire. The emperor has no daughter, and now the harem is empty. You are the most noble woman in the world! Prince Yu has no reason not to marry you!"
"Father, how is the emperor doing?" Gongsun Shang asked in a low voice with a serious expression.
Gongsun Hongyun stroked his beard, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Everything is going according to plan. The emperor wants to feign illness to stall for time, so I'll make him actually sick! Humph, we're the only ones in the world who know his three sons aren't his biological children. If he dies, we'll make this matter public. With my reputation in the court, I'll definitely be able to take that position!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have seen himself wearing a dragon robe and sitting high on the throne room, and a look of pride appeared on his face.
Gongsun Shang was overjoyed upon hearing this and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Great! Then our Gongsun family will be the masters of Xuanyuan Imperial City!"
The smile on Gongsun Hongyun's face gradually faded, and his brows were furrowed: "Of course we still have to make sure everything is foolproof. Shang'er, you should go and find out the identity of the woman Prince Yu brought back as soon as possible. I always feel that there will be other variables." A gleam flashed in his eyes, and his shrewd eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
At the same time, in the palace, Xie Mishuang disguised herself as a female doctor and hurried to the emperor's Yangxin Palace.
Outside the hall, several imperial physicians were sighing and scowling.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid the Emperor... doesn't have much time left..." An old doctor said to Xuanyuan Yi in a trembling voice, his tone full of helplessness and regret.
Xuanyuan Yi's face was heavy, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yu and Xie Mishuang came quickly. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" He said as he pushed away the imperial physician blocking their way, his tone anxious, "Hurry up and try to save my father!"
An imperial physician saw Xie Mishuang about to take the emperor's pulse and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Yangxin Palace!"
Xuanyuan Yu waved his hand impatiently: "She is a folk doctor I found. Stop talking nonsense and take a look!"
The imperial physician still refused to give in, stubbornly saying, "No! How can a little girl possibly have the medical skills of someone like me? Her background is unknown, Your Highness Prince Yu must not be deceived! What if she intends to murder the Emperor?"
He spoke with a righteous expression, as if he was protecting the emperor's safety, but in fact he was protecting his own authority.
Xie Mishuang sneered, his eyes sweeping across the imperial physicians fiercely. "With so many of you guarding, how dare I harm the emperor? With so many pairs of eyes, are you all blind?"
Her tone was cold and tinged with sarcasm, making the faces of several imperial doctors look a little ugly.
Xuanyuan Yu was also getting impatient. He kicked the obstructing imperial physician away and shouted angrily, "She's a disciple of Divine Doctor Li. Her medical skills are countless times better than those of you quacks! Get out of my way right now!"
After Xuanyuan Yu yelled at him, the imperial doctors no longer dared to stop him and could only retreat to the side in disappointment, their eyes filled with resentment and resentment.
Xie Mishuang ignored them and walked straight to the dragon bed and began to take the emperor's pulse.
Xie Mishuang held his breath and concentrated, his slender fingers resting on the emperor's wrist, exploring the emperor's internal conditions. The hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
The imperial doctors were all sweating profusely, looking at their eyes and noses, and their noses and hearts, as if they were carefully studying the patterns on the floor tiles.
Their hearts were beating like drums, afraid that Xie Mishuang would notice something.
"This...this pulse condition..." Xie Mishuang pretended to be hesitant, frowning, as if she had encountered some problem.
Xuanyuan Yu was extremely anxious when he saw this. He grabbed Xie Mishuang's arm and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Father..."
Xie Mishuang gently broke free from Xuanyuan Yu's hand, slowly shook her head, her face filled with worry: "Your Highness Prince Yu, the Emperor's illness... is indeed terminal, and there is no cure."
"What?!" Xuanyuan Yu stumbled back as if struck by lightning, his face instantly turning pale. Xuanyuan Yi's vision went dark, and he nearly fainted.
The imperial doctors standing by all showed expressions of "as expected" and secretly rejoiced that the Regent's plan had succeeded.
"How could this happen..." Xuanyuan Yu muttered to himself, his eyes blank.
Seeing this, Xie Mishuang sighed inwardly and continued, "However... although I can't cure it completely, I can temporarily stabilize the emperor's condition and extend his life for a month."
Xuanyuan Yu heard this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He grabbed Xie Mishuang's hand and said excitedly, "Really? Can you really extend father's life for another month?"
Xie Mishuang nodded, his tone firm: "I can do it. This month is enough time for us to find the mastermind and catch the real culprit."
Her eyes were as sharp as torches, sweeping over everyone in the hall, and finally stopping on the imperial doctors.
The imperial doctors were frightened by her sharp gaze and lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.
"Good! Good!" Xuanyuan Yu cheered repeatedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He turned to look at Xuanyuan Yi and said in a deep voice: "Royal brother, block the news immediately. No one is allowed to leak the news that our father is critically ill!"
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Yi responded quickly. He knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
