Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort

After the prince and his entourage sent Su Qingli to Chengqian Palace, they went to the imperial study to discuss state affairs. The guards outside Chengqian Palace were tight, and Hu Lai came out in small steps to greet them.

"Princess please."

Su Qingli looked back at the departing figures of the prince and others, with confusion in her eyes.

The prince shouted that the emperor's illness could not be delayed, and after forcing her into the palace, he threw her into Chengqian Palace. Wasn't he afraid that she would take the opportunity to escape?

Hu Lai followed Su Qingli's gaze and repeated with a normal expression, "Princess, please."

Su Qingli withdrew her gaze and walked in. As soon as she entered, she found that all the servants in Chengqian Palace, except Hu Lai, had been replaced. They were not the people she had seen before.

"Do the servants in Chengqian Palace change frequently?" Su Qingli asked doubtfully.

Hu Lai answered flawlessly, "The staff at Chengqian Palace don't change often, they just take turns."

Su Qingli stared at Hu Lai's back, her eyes dim. "I always thought that you were a wise man. Both His Majesty and the court officials trusted you very much."

"Princess, you're joking. I'm just a servant. I only know how to serve my master. I don't have any great wisdom." Hu Lai said calmly.

"I admire the princess very much. She is a person of great ability and has a royal style." She is cruel and cold-blooded. Even among the royal family, few can compare to her.

"Are you saying that I am vicious, my lord?"

"I dare not. I just admire the princess very much." Hu Lai continued respectfully as he led the way.

"Who could have imagined that a year ago, the princess was just an unfavored young lady in the prime minister's mansion, and in just one year, her status has risen dramatically, and the power behind her is so powerful that it is daunting."

"I have served two emperors, from the time the princess began to speak until she was married according to imperial decree, yet I didn't notice the slightest clue. Not only I, but even Your Majesty failed to discover that the princess was secretly scheming to build up so many forces."

Hu Lai walked to the door of the emperor's bedroom and stopped, making an invitation: "Princess, please."

Just as Su Qingli was about to go in, she heard a whimpering sound coming from the hall, as if a wild beast was roaring, but the beast was already exhausted and had no power or threat.

Su Qingli stepped in and saw a person lying on the dragon bed, or to be more precise, someone was helping him.

The king of a country, the ruler of the world, now has disheveled hair, bare chest and back, his hands and feet are tied to the bed, a cloth is stuffed in his mouth, and he is whimpering and struggling.

Ever since the court officials discovered that the emperor was taking Wu Shi San secretly, they understood that the emperor was completely useless and the imperial physician needed to help him quit taking Wu Shi San.

So the emperor, who had enjoyed a lifetime of pleasure, became a poor old man in his old age, tied to the bed all day and suffering from withdrawal torture.

When the emperor saw Su Qingli, his eyes were full of desire. He struggled even harder, and a whirring sound like a bellows came from his throat.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhan is here to see you." Hu Lai walked to the bedside and knelt, explaining in a low voice, "Princess Zhan is an excellent doctor and will definitely help Your Majesty relieve the pain."

The emperor's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, which flowed as soon as he blinked, and his snot slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.

Hu Lai skillfully took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot and tears from his face: "Princess Zhan, please."

Su Qingli stood there without moving. The emperor was emaciated and looked like a ghost. The fact that he had become so thin in such a short time showed that he did not stop taking the medicine immediately after being discovered by the court officials.

Instead, he increased the dosage of the medicine. The emperor would not do this himself, so someone must have helped him increase the dosage.

The Five-Stone Powder not only destroys a person's spirit, but also his flesh and blood. In order to get Su Mubai to quit taking the Five-Stone Powder, Su Mubai almost lost half his life. He turned from a chubby little boy into a skinny and pitiful guy.

The emperor's health was not good to begin with, and the Five-Stone Powder was a fatal poison to him. He didn't have many days left to live. If he could be provided with the Five-Stone Powder every day, he might be able to live a few more days.

"Princess Zhan, please see His Majesty."

"There's no need to look. His Majesty is already at the end of his rope and no medicine can save him." Su Qingli said calmly while standing aside.

The emperor was suffering from withdrawal symptoms at this moment. He struggled and twisted like a maggot. His bones were clearly visible and the blood vessels under his skin were bursting out.

There is no energy left in this body for him to consume. If this continues, the emperor will soon use up his last bit of energy.

"Princess, are you going to watch someone die without helping?"

"It's not that I don't help, but that I can't save him." Su Qingli turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Hu Lai.

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to come here to treat His Majesty. If you are unable to treat His Majesty, then you will not be able to leave Chengqian Palace."

Su Qingli stopped and asked, "Why, do you still dare to kill me?"

"I dare not, but I have to inconvenience the princess and temporarily stay in the side hall." Hu Lai stood up and bowed slightly, still maintaining a humble and respectful attitude. "Come, take the princess to the side hall to rest."
