On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Inside the Golden Throne Hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

The green smoke of the phoenix saliva incense curled up and lingered among the carved beams and painted buildings, but it could not dispel the feeling of oppression that permeated the air.

Regent Lin Zhenxian was slightly hunched over, and his usual domineering and high-spirited demeanor in controlling the court was long gone, replaced by a face full of sorrow, as if his spine had been instantly crushed by time and sorrow.

He stood up slowly, his steps heavy, each one seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and a dull sound echoed in the silent hall.

He cleared his dry throat, his voice hoarse and tired, "Your Majesty, this old minister is helpless. It was Wan'er herself who said she didn't want to get married. She...she has some strange disease now, and her health is getting worse. That girl is kind-hearted and didn't want to delay Lin Zhen, so she took the initiative to cancel the engagement."

Murong Yan sat upright on the phoenix chair, her eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of doubt and pity flashed in her eyes.

Although she was an emperor and was usually decisive and merciless, she could not help but be moved when faced with such a love story.

Especially the matter about Lin Zhen.

After a moment, she opened her red lips, her voice as melodious as a yellow oriole, yet filled with undeniable authority: "Since you're already ill, why don't you call a doctor? Our Great Qian is a vast land with abundant resources and countless skilled doctors. How could we not find a cure?"

Lin Zhenxian gave a bitter smile, which was full of bitterness and powerlessness.

"Alas, how could this old minister not be dedicated? These days, this old minister has invited the best doctors in Daqian, including Sun Shenxian and Master Qingyuan. Sun Shenxian is a medical expert with the ability to bring the dead back to life. He has practiced medicine for many years and saved countless lives. Master Qingyuan is even more proficient in pharmacology, and is proficient in both Zen and medicine. His reputation has spread far and wide to the neighboring countries. But no one knows what disease Wan'er has!"

At this point, he became increasingly emotional. "They only know that Wan'er's health is deteriorating. She's lost a lot of weight in the past few days. Her once plump face is now sunken. Her complexion is as pale as paper, devoid of any color. Her once lively eyes are now dull and lifeless. It's heartbreaking to see her."

He calmed down and continued, "Immortal Sun has examined it and said that ginseng can only be used temporarily to keep her alive, but this is not a long-term solution. Ginseng is extremely precious and the daily consumption is huge. Even so, this old minister will not hesitate to spend it, just to save Wan'er's life. But... alas.

"I have already sent capable attendants to take good care of her, staying by her side day and night, hoping she will recover. I even told Wan'er that even if she were seriously ill, I would let Zhen'er marry her and would never let her suffer the slightest injustice. But Wan'er disagreed and was determined to cancel the engagement. I really... I really had no choice."

After saying this, his eyes were red.

The old man who was fearless of the swords and spears on the battlefield actually burst into tears because of Wan'er.

He really liked this girl and was very willing to make her his granddaughter-in-law.

In the court, the ministers were whispering and discussing.

Some showed expressions of pity and sighed for Shangguan Wan'er's experience; others had flickering eyes and secretly wondered if there was any other hidden story.

After all, Shangguan Wan'er, as the daughter of the Shangguan family of Qin State, is outstandingly talented and beautiful, and her engagement with Lin Zhen has been finalized long ago. Her sudden cancellation of the engagement is bound to arouse speculation.

Murong Yan frowned, thinking secretly in her heart, and finally set her gaze on Lin Zhenxian again.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's marriage is of great importance, and I need to know the details. Please tell me in detail. Did Wan'er behave in any unusual manner before she became ill? Or did she come into contact with anything unusual?"

Lin Zhenxian wiped his tears with the corner of his sleeve and tried to calm down.

"Your Majesty, Wan'er has been taught by her grandfather and has always stayed within the mansion. She has always been in good health and has never been in any trouble."

Murong Yan nodded slightly, but she felt more and more strange in her heart.

She turned to look at Murong Wushe beside her, "Pass on my order. Summon the head of the Imperial Hospital to accompany me to the palace. Also, order the Hundred Cavalry Division to conduct a secret investigation and get to the bottom of this matter. I will not allow the First Lady of the palace to perish like this!"

"According to the order."

......

Soon, the head of the Imperial Medical Service, along with a group of imperial physicians and carrying medicine boxes, hurried to the palace.

Everyone was dressed in court robes, their expressions solemn, knowing that they were carrying a heavy responsibility.

Murong Yan was still wearing the black phoenix robe that symbolized the supreme imperial power. On the robe, a phoenix carefully outlined with gold and silver threads spread its wings, ready to fly. Every feather was shining with a cold light in the sunlight, as if it was about to break through the clouds.

The fifty-meter train, like a flowing black galaxy, slowly unfolded with her steps. The delicate cloud patterns and lively phoenixes embroidered on the train echoed with her phoenix robe. As she walked, the light shone, as if she embodied the dignity and majesty of heaven and earth in one.

This time she did not ride in a sedan chair, but in the imperial carriage.

The sound of horse hooves raised a cloud of dust; eunuchs and palace maids gathered around, serving carefully; the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau followed closely behind, walking hurriedly but not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Inside the Prince Regent's Palace, Lin Zhenxian lined up in front of the palace gate to greet him: "Your Majesty, I, Prince Regent Lin Zhenxian, respectfully welcome you."

The voice was loud, but it could not hide the fatigue and anxiety in it.

Murong Yan dismounted from the phoenix carriage and walked lightly towards the inner courtyard of the palace. "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. Take me to see Wan'er."

Lin Zhenxian hurriedly led the way and everyone came to Wan'er's boudoir.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a strong smell of medicine hit me in the face.

Murong Yan frowned slightly and walked quickly to the bed.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, her once delicate lips were chapped and peeling, and her long, shiny black hair had lost its luster and was scattered messily on the pillow.

Murong Yan felt a pain in her heart. Although she and Wan'er didn't have much interaction, as a fellow woman, how could she not feel pity when seeing this scene?

"Head, what are you still standing there for? Check Wan'er's pulse quickly." Murong Yan turned to look at the imperial doctors behind her, her eyes revealing anxiety and majesty.

The head of the Imperial Hospital hurried forward, sat respectfully beside the bed, stretched out three fingers and placed them on Wan'er's wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and concentrated his mind.

Other imperial doctors also gathered around, some observing the complexion, some checking the tongue coating. For a moment, the room was so quiet that the only sound was everyone's breathing.

After a long moment, the head of the Imperial Hospital slowly opened his eyes, his face showing difficulty. He bowed to Murong Yan and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. Madam Shangguan's pulse is disordered, and it is difficult to tell whether she is weak or strong. I have never seen such a strange symptom. However, judging by all the signs, it seems she is poisoned. However, this poison is extremely rare, and I cannot determine its exact nature at the moment."
