The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

The person who made this ball was clearly not skilled in woodworking; the ball is not very round, and the carved patterns and textures on it are particularly ugly.

However, this little ball seems to be frequently taken out and played with, and it is covered with a smooth patina, making the wooden ball look like a crystal-clear pearl.

Luo Qianmo's thoughts suddenly drifted back to more than ten years ago.

He loved playing when he was a child, and for a period of time he especially loved playing ball.

At that time, he pestered Emperor Mingde to make him a wooden ball, and told him that it had to be carved with tigers, flowers, clouds and the like to be considered beautiful.

At that time, Emperor Mingde said he was very busy handling state affairs and had no time to make balls for him. He said there were so many balls in the palace, of all kinds of materials and sizes, and that he could take whichever one he liked and have them all.

Xiao Luo Qianmo was very unhappy at the time, but later he took a lot of balls from the Palace Museum's Imperial Treasure Pavilion and forgot about it.

Then, the wet nurse died of poisoning. Xiao Luo Qianmo hated Empress Qin and Emperor Mingde with all her heart.

From then on, Luo Qianmo never got close to Emperor Mingde again.

The incident with the wooden ball happened many years ago, and Luo Qianmo thought he had forgotten about it, only to find out that it had been buried deep in his memory all along.

Like a thick layer of dust, once the dust is wiped away, this memory will reappear.

Luo Qianmo had no idea that Emperor Mingde had actually made him a wooden ball, but he hadn't given it away all these years.

This wooden ball was indeed made by Emperor Mingde for Luo Qianmo. He was saying one thing but meaning another in rejecting him, wanting to give him a surprise. However, he did not expect that he would never have the chance to give him this surprise again.

Over the years, whenever Emperor Mingde missed Luo Qianmo, he would take out this wooden ball and play with it. It seemed that seeing this wooden ball would bring back memories of the little Luo Qianmo clinging to him, clinging to his back, tugging at his beard, and calling out, "Father, Father..."

That soft, small voice always melted his heart.

Unbeknownst to him, the wooden ball had been polished to a shine by his carelessness, and more than ten years had passed.

The moment Luo Qianmo saw the wooden ball, he felt as if his heart had been violently struck, creating a crack that allowed distant memories to seep out bit by bit...

He still didn't want to see Emperor Mingde, but he just couldn't bring himself to say "no."

His childhood memories buzzed around his mind like annoying bees, making it impossible for him to calm down.

Luo Qianmo and Eunuch Luo eventually entered the palace and met the peacefully sleeping Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde maintained the serious expression he had when discussing state affairs with his ministers, but there was a hint of melancholy between his brows, as if he had something on his mind.

“Eighth Prince, His Majesty has been like this for a whole day. I really don’t know what’s wrong with him. Even the head of the Imperial Hospital is helpless. This old servant dares not let anyone else know about His Majesty’s condition, but this old servant really doesn’t know what to do.” Eunuch Luo wiped away his tears, his slightly cloudy eyes filled with deep worry.

Eunuch Luo had already told Luo Qianmo about Emperor Mingde's condition on the way to the palace.

Luo Qianmo had always thought that Eunuch Luo was exaggerating. Over the years, Emperor Mingde had used the trick of feigning illness to lure him into the palace.

It wasn't until he met Emperor Mingde that Luo Qianmo realized it was all true.

Luo Qianmo remained silent, sitting quietly beside Emperor Mingde and reaching out to feel his pulse.

He doesn't know anything about medicine, but after being tormented by strange poisons over the years, he has some medical knowledge.

Emperor Mingde's pulse seemed very steady, just like when he was asleep, and his complexion was also very calm, as if there was nothing wrong with his body.

Luo Qianmo's slender, sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly; he had a feeling that Emperor Mingde's situation was not simple.

"Who else knows about Father's condition?"

"Besides a few academy envoys, you are the first person to know about the Eighth Prince."

"Take control of those academy envoys, and then summon Princess Ping'an to the palace..." Luo Qianmo instructed, then thought it would be better to use his own people, so he entrusted the task of controlling the academy envoys to Xuan Zhu and the task of finding Fang Qingyou to Xuan Huang.

Although Eunuch Luo felt that Luo Qianmo's actions were somewhat inappropriate, he ultimately said nothing.

No matter what method is used, as long as the emperor can be awakened.

Fang Qingyou entered the palace half an hour later. She had heard about Emperor Mingde's sudden fainting and was surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

Seeing the worry in Luo Qianmo's beautiful eyes, Fang Qingyou only said a few words to him before quickly checking on Emperor Mingde's condition.

He repeatedly checked Emperor Mingde's pulse, including not only the wrist pulse but also the neck pulse and other pulses.

It took a long time before they stopped.

Fang Qingyou glanced at Eunuch Luo with an unchanged expression, and Eunuch Luo immediately and tactfully withdrew.

Only after Eunuch Luo left did Fang Qingyou's face show worry.

"Luo Qianmo, the Emperor has been poisoned."

"Poisoning?" Luo Qianmo was somewhat surprised, as Emperor Mingde's condition seemed to have nothing to do with poisoning.

However, he did not doubt Fang Qingyou, not only because he trusted her medical skills, but also because he had a very strange poison in his body.

The situation was no less bizarre than that of Emperor Mingde.

"I can't be sure what kind of poison the Emperor has been poisoned with, but I'm certain that his pulse is abnormal, although it's only slightly different from that of a normal person." It's thanks to Fang Qingyou's keen senses that this abnormality is something that most doctors wouldn't be able to detect.

She had never seen this pulse before and didn't know what kind of poison it was.

Just as Fang Qingyou was about to tell Luo Qianmo that she needed to take a few drops of Emperor Mingde's blood to test for poison, she heard Eunuch Luo's voice coming from outside the Jingxin Palace.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is resting. If you wish to see him, this old servant will relay the message when he wakes up."

This Consort Qin was none other than the former Empress Qin, who had been deposed.

"Eunuch Luo, I heard that His Majesty suddenly fainted, and I am very worried. Please let me go in to see him. I promise you, I will only go in to see him for a moment, and then I will leave quietly without disturbing His Majesty's rest."

"Your Highness, please don't worry. His Majesty has just been very tired these past few days, so he slept a little longer."

"Eunuch Luo, but I'm really worried because I can't see the Emperor. Please let me see him..." Consort Qin's tears flowed down her cheeks, making the red veins in her eyes even more noticeable.

"Your Highness, the Emperor woke up once and told this old servant not to let anyone disturb his rest. I cannot disobey the Emperor's orders, so I hope you will not make things difficult for this old servant!"

After wiping away her tears for a long time, Consort Qin said, "Then I will trouble Eunuch Luo. Please have someone inform me when the Emperor wakes up."

Eunuch Luo agreed, and Consort Qin left with red eyes.
