~ VOMITING BLOOD AND SERIOUSLY ILL ~
“Imperial Concubine Yue!” The Emperor cried out in alarm, but it was already too late.
The dagger pierced Imperial Concubine Yue’s stomach, causing a large amount of blood to gush and flow under her body, forming a pool of blood. Those blood stains were dark, emitting a faint black color, and also carried a foul smell. After the blood stains flowed out, Su Yuyi’s stomach shriveled and gradually became flat.
“I told you... I just said that it is a monster …” Su Yuyi held her stomach and smiled brightly. “It’s good now. The monster has come out. The monster has finally come out.”
Mu Yunyao took the gauze from the Imperial Physician’s box and stepped forward to help wrap Su Yuyi’s stomach, “Your Majesty, let the imperial physician treat her now, there might be hope.”
Once the gauze was wrapped, Su Yuyi’s waist seemed extremely slim.
The Emperor could not help but take two steps back. He felt his head buzzing and his vision turning black. “Imperial Physician... go take a look, where’s the child …”
The Imperial Physicians trembled as they approached. After carefully examining the situation, their faces were pale without the slightest trace of blood. “Your Majesty, This Subject has looked carefully. Imperial Concubine Yue did not have a child in her womb but rather a pool of tainted blood. This Subject’s diagnosis is that it should be due to taking the pseudo-pregnancy grass. The pseudo-pregnancy grass is a kind of beauty product. After a woman consumed it, she would show signs of pregnancy, but she only gathered the filth within her body and waited for nine months before they could all be expelled. After that, the woman’s appearance would be even more beautiful. But this kind of pseudo-pregnancy grass is extremely rare and is mainly produced in the northern border. After taking it, there’s no difference between a pregnancy and a pulse, so the Imperial Physicians have not diagnosed it before. This Subject requested the Emperor to be pardoned.
“Pseudo-pregnancypregnancy grass?” The Emperor’s body swayed. “So, Imperial Concubine Yue hasn’t gotten pregnant since the beginning?”
“Yes.”
“Good, good …” The killing intent in the Emperor’s face was endless. “I had no idea that the harem was already in such a state of chaos! Since the pseudo-pregnancy grass has appeared, do you all dare to kill the monarch after a period of time?”
Imperial Concubine Li and the rest quickly kneeled, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Even if Your Concubine had ten thousand guts, she wouldn’t dare to do anything that would harm the Emperor. Imperial Concubine De, Su Yuyi is your niece. You can’t get rid of this matter!”
Imperial Concubine De couldn’t care about the pain from the wound on her arm as she pleaded with the Emperor, “Your Majesty, Your Concubine doesn’t know anything and completely doesn’t know anything. Your Concubine thought that Imperial Concubine Yue was really pregnant, so I took care of her a lot during this time, just to help the Emperor keep the dragon heir...…”
“Shut up! Shut up!” The Emperor’s rage was magnificent as he suppressed his anger. “There’s no need for you to say anything. I’ll investigate everything thoroughly and no one will let you off!”
Imperial Concubine Li secretly shivered, and her heart was flustered.
Imperial Concubine De heaved a sigh of relief. She had given the Concubine some pregnancy protection medicine at most, and she didn’t know anything else.
The Emperor looked at Imperial Concubine Yue on the ground, and the disgust in his eyes was particularly intense: “The Imperial Physician, treat her well, and you must bring her back to life. I can’t let her die so easily. I want her to die after she has had enough punishment.”
“Yes.”
The Emperor’s expression improved slightly when Imperial Concubine Yue was taken away. “The blood has already been spilled, and using it as a bridal chamber is inappropriate. Clean up the Liyang Palace. Junyu, bring your Princess Consort to live there first.”
Liyang Palace?
Ling Wang’s face instantly turned ugly. He fiercely clenched his fists so as not to lose his composure. Liyang Palace was the residence of the previous generations of Crown Princes and Crown Princess, and the Imperial Father allowed them to live there. Could he have already decided and wanted Yu Wang to be the Crown Prince?
The Emperor’s gaze darkened as he glanced at Ling Wang, then shifted his gaze and said, “Imperial Concubine Li, give the Phoenix Seal to Imperial Concubine Qi. She will take charge of the Imperial Harem. The other concubines are confined in their palaces, and without my orders, you are not to walk around as you please!”
“Yes.”
“All of you, go down.”
When the crowd had retreated, the Emperor suddenly clutched his chest and bent down to catch his breath.
Grand Princess Yi De, who had not left, stepped forward to support the Emperor, patting him on the back to help him calm down. “Emperor, calm down. Don’t be angry.”
The Emperor gritted his teeth fiercely as veins flashed on his forehead. He then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Li suppressed his voice and screamed, “Your Majesty?”
Grand Princess Yi De’s gaze was sharp. “Shut up. Call Mu Yunyao back and don’t alarm anyone else.”
“Yes.” Xu Li tumbled as he crawled out of the back hall. After calming himself down with all his might, he quickly ran in the direction Mu Yunyao had left in.
Mu Yunyao originally hadn’t gone far, but upon hearing Xu Li’s shout, she hurriedly stopped her steps. “Eunuch Xu, why have you come?”
“Her Royal Highness … The Grand Princess invites you over. “
When Mu Yunyao saw his pale face and the cold sweat dripping from his chin, she looked at Yue Wang and said, “Fourth Master, go to Yuhua Palace, get my medicine box and keep out of sight.”
“Alright.”
“Eunuch Xu, let’s go.”
By the time she reached the back of Mingguang Hall, the Emperor had already fallen to the ground, and Grand Princess Yi De was sitting on the floor, supporting him.
Mu Yunyao walked up to the Emperor and examined his pulse. After that, she removed a few silver needles from her sleeves and skirt hem. One by one, she meticulously pierced them into the acupoints on the Emperor’s chest. “Grandmother, the Emperor needs to lie on his back.”
“Xu Li, clear the guards who protect the Emperor’s Yangxin Residence. Wei Yi, come out and carry the Emperor back to his residence.”
Xu Li forced himself to stop trembling and carried out the orders. Wei Yi appeared out of nowhere and rushed to pick the Emperor up before heading to Yangxin Residence.
Yue Wang quickly brought the medicine box over, and Mu Yunyao took out a whole set of silver needles and carefully administered it to the Emperor.
Grand Princess Yi De looked at Yue Wang and frowned. “You should immediately leave the Palace. Remember, you don’t know anything, do you understand?”
Although she had hinted to the Emperor that Yue Wang had no intention of competing for the throne, he naturally became more suspicious that the Emperor was ill now. She was confident he could protect Mu Yunyao, but Yue Wang here would inevitably make the Emperor slightly suspicious.
“Imperial Aunt, Junyue understands.” Yue Wang glanced at Mu Yunyao, who was focused on applying the needles, so he stopped disturbing her and quietly retreated.
Mu Yunyao spent two hours before slowly putting the silver needles away, “Grandmother, the Emperor’s condition has stabilized. I’m going to boil the medicine right now, after drinking the medicine, he’ll have a fever for a while, when the fever subsides, it should be fine.”
“Alright, go ahead. Grandmother will be waiting here.”
“Yes.”
Mu Yunyao personally picked the medicinal ingredients and watched them simmer. After having Xu Li try them, she fed them to the Emperor.
The Emperor was on fire in the latter half of the night. Moreover, he constantly spouted nonsense as he muttered the words’ Rou‘er, Rou‘er...
Mu Yunyao thought for a moment, “Grandmother, is Rou‘er that the Emperor speaks of is Empress Wei?”
Empress Wei Rou, the biological mother of Yue Wang.
