Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 386 Missing a Play
The candlelight flickered before the bed as Physician Chen, with trembling fingertips, lifted Fengwu's blood-stained undergarment.
The dart had been pulled out of his shoulder, but it left a charred wound between his skin and flesh.
Fine purple lines are spreading toward the heart at a visible speed, like the forked tongue of a venomous snake coiling around the meridians.
"Quick! Get the Ice Soul Jade!" Physician Chen yanked the silver needle from his neck, the tip of the needle just touching the edge of the wound.
It instantly turned a strange bluish-black color. He brought the silver needle close to the candlelight, looking at the dark light surging on the metal surface, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.
"This poison is both cold and fiery; it seals the throat upon contact with blood, and it also gnaws at the heart and corrodes the bones..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fengwu suddenly convulsed violently, and blackish-purple blood foam spilled from his throat, splattering onto the bright yellow brocade quilt and creating a horrifying stain.
Chang Yu stumbled over, carrying a copper basin. The cotton wool soaking in the basin was saturated with a dark brown liquid.
Several imperial physicians worked together, one of them pressing down on the emperor's convulsing arm.
One person forced a pill with a pungent odor down their throat.
When the last of the thousand-year-old snow ginseng powder was applied to the wound, the cold sweat on Physician Chen's palms had soaked through his robes.
Seeing that Physician Chen had stopped, Empress Shangguan Shuofeng and Murong Che, who were anxiously waiting on the side of the tent, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Imperial Physician Chen... Your Majesty... How is His Majesty?"
When the fight broke out, they all hid in their tents in fear, too afraid to come out.
Only after the sounds of fighting gradually subsided did they dare to send someone out to inquire.
Upon inquiring, they discovered something shocking: His Majesty had been assassinated!
As the Empress, Shangguan Shuofeng is currently the person with the highest status!
Seeing Feng Wu's purplish-black face, his eyes were filled with worry.
"Imperial Physician Chen... Is His Majesty in danger? What kind of poison has he been poisoned with?"
Physician Chen wore a pained expression as he carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the poison in His Majesty's body... the poison has been temporarily suppressed."
But if an antidote cannot be found within seven days... I'm afraid..."
She dared not say anything more or look up.
Shangguan Shuofeng immediately retorted, "Nonsense! You are the head of the Imperial Medical Academy!"
They can't even cure the poison! If you don't have an antidote, then go and make one!
If anything happens to His Majesty, your entire nine generations of relatives will be buried with him!
Physician Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed rapidly! "Your subject will certainly do his best! It's just that we are currently quite far from the capital."
It would be best to escort His Majesty back to the palace for treatment as soon as possible!
For the sake of the lives of his entire family, Physician Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Shangguan Shuofeng nodded in agreement, "Alright, immediately issue the order to escort His Majesty back to the palace."
There can be no mistakes. Also, Zuo Ling, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was dismissed for failing to protect the emperor.
"Take him back to Kyoto and imprison him in the imperial jail!"
Hu Jin, trembling, immediately accepted the order and went out to deliver the decree!
The people outside looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing the imperial edict.
Feng Liluo, sitting in a wheelchair, narrowed her eyes and gazed at the distant mountains and forests.
Soon the main force set off again and left Mount Li.
Han Zixuan and Feng Wuyou, who had just returned, saw the large group leaving in a hurry.
They were all a little stunned when a servant dressed in palace attire hurriedly ran over from a distance.
Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at her master. "Your Highness...Your Highness, you're finally back!"
"Waaah...this servant...this servant thought something had happened to you!"
Han Zixuan looked around and saw that the tent, which had been full of guests just moments before, was now...
The place was deserted, with only a few servants packing up their belongings.
All the ministers and officials boarded the carriages.
Only a few people remained in the open space. Han Zixuan frowned, somewhat puzzled.
What did she miss?
Feng Wuyou then began to ask Xiao Dezi, "I'm fine, Xiao Dezi, what... happened?"
Where is everyone? Why has everyone left?!
He was completely bewildered at the moment, and wanted to report to his mother about the wolf attack.
How could everyone have disappeared in just one hour!
Xiao Dezi was heartbroken to see his master covered in blood and wanted to examine him first.
Seeing that his master's complexion was rosy and he looked very healthy, he could only put aside this question for the time being.
He answered Feng Wuyou's question with a serious expression, "Your Highness...you don't know...Her Majesty the Empress has been assassinated..."
Han Zixuan was also eager to know what had happened.
So he didn't move and stood beside Feng Wuyou to listen.
As Han Zixuan listened to Xiao Dezi's vivid narration, her expression gradually became serious.
"Therefore, His Majesty has been escorted back to the capital for medical treatment!"
Feng Wuyou's expression changed, and she immediately asked, "Is Mother Queen seriously injured? And the assassin... has the assassin been caught?"
Xiao Dezi shook his head, "This servant doesn't know. I heard... I heard they didn't catch the assassin."
The queen was furious and ordered a search of the mountains to find the assassin.
Han Zixuan muttered to herself, "Assassination attempt, good heavens, I missed such a great show."
I wonder which force is so powerful.
"How dare they assassinate the Empress..."
Feng Wuyou said solemnly, "The assassination attempt on the Empress is no small matter."
Were all the officials investigated? How were the others treated by the Empress?
Xiao Dezi thought for a moment and immediately said!
"Many officials, daughters, and noblewomen were also arranged by their families to return home by carriage!"
The Queen did not say anything else, but simply followed His Majesty's carriage.
This servant has not seen Your Highness return. I have also heard that wild animals are roaming in the mountains, and I am truly worried about Your Highness.
I was originally planning to find someone to go to the mountains with to search for His Highness!
Thank goodness... you came out first! Your Highness, why are you covered in so much blood?
Let me take a look, the wound has reopened!
It was only when this was mentioned that Feng Wuyou realized something was amiss.
The pain that was excruciating just moments before has now completely disappeared, leaving no discomfort anywhere on my body.
He felt a lightness all over his body, which made him frown and ponder.
He looked down at his own bandaged wrist.
Although there was still dried blood on the gauze, when I touched it, the wound no longer hurt.
She was genuinely puzzled and subconsciously looked at Han Zixuan, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
Han Zixuan also noticed Feng Wuyou's gaze, and her eyes darted away.
He cleared his throat and said, "Uh... since Your Highness already has someone to serve you!"
Then I will not disturb you any longer. I have other matters to attend to and will not bother Your Highness any longer!
Farewell! "
Without waiting for Feng Wuyou's response, he turned and left!
Although Feng Wuyou felt puzzled, as this person exuded mystery, she did not stop Han Zixuan from leaving.
Xiao Dezi, however, looked at Han Zixuan's back with some anger.
He asked Feng Wuyou urgently, "Your Highness...who is that person? Whose lady is she?"
How dare she be so disrespectful to Your Highness! And Your Highness, why did you return with this person...?
But then Feng Wuyou said softly, "Alright, Xiao Dezi had an accident in the forest, and it was this lady who saved him."
"You mustn't be rude! The Queen Mother has been assassinated; let's go back first!"
For an hour, the two did not exchange a single word.
It was clear that this lady disliked trouble and didn't want to say much to him.
There was no time for them to discuss anything further.
It's more important to hurry back to the palace. We can express our gratitude if we have the chance to meet again.
