Chapter 498: Chapter 166: Xiao Jinxing’s "Novel" Revenge_4
Xiao Jinxing glanced at her.
He reached out and wrapped her small hand into his own palm.
Ye Qichi frowned.
What was this guy freaking out about now?
"It’s dark and slippery at night, be careful not to fall," Xiao Jinxing said.
His voice was cold and frosty.
She would not believe that his actions at this moment were well-intentioned.
She didn’t refuse either.
After all, it did feel a lot warmer with Xiao Jinxing holding on to her like that.
The two of them walked together to the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.
An Imperial Physician was already accompanying the Emperor there.
Upon their arrival, Eunuch Mu hurriedly came forward, "His Majesty has been overcome by wine tonight and has already laid down to rest. Please, Prince and Princess, stay your steps."
"Eunuch Mu, I have come to see the Emperor because I know he is feeling unwell due to the wine, and it will only worsen by tomorrow. I am here to help him sober up," Xiao Jinxing said, "The Princess has a special remedy for sobering up, and she would like to administer it to the Emperor."
Eunuch Mu hesitated somewhat.
"Rest assured, Eunuch Mu, I will certainly let the Imperial Physician review my prescription first," Ye Qichi hurriedly said.
"Then we are grateful to the Princess," Eunuch Mu showed great respect.
Ye Qichi nodded slightly and said, "Before administering the special remedy to the Emperor, I need to give him a proper examination to formulate the best prescription."
"The Princess may please follow me," Eunuch Mu led Ye Qichi into Xiao Zhanping’s sleeping chamber.
On the grand imperial bed, Xiao Zhanping’s face was exceedingly red.
The Imperial Physician was waiting at the side.
The palace maid was wiping his forehead and cheeks.
Making him as comfortable as possible for a good rest.
Ye Qichi stepped forward, took Xiao Zhanping’s wrist, and began to take his pulse.
She was highly focused.
Her expression, solemn.
Eunuch Mu and Xiao Jinxing were watching closely by the side.
The time taken was somewhat long.
Eunuch Mu couldn’t help asking Xiao Jinxing, "Prince, does the Princess need so much time to take a pulse?"
"Of course," Xiao Jinxing replied, "The Emperor is the supreme ruler, and naturally, his imperial body is different from others; not the slightest mistake can be afforded. The Princess must, of course, take his pulse carefully."
Eunuch Mu naturally dared not say anything further.
They waited for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Only then did Ye Qichi withdraw her hand.
She turned to glance at Xiao Jinxing to indicate she had identified the cause.
A reassuring pill for Xiao Jinxing.
Then she turned to the Imperial Physician and said, "His Majesty’s drunkenness today isn’t too severe. Prepare plenty of sweet water for him to drink, which can alleviate the discomfort in his stomach. Additionally, decoct kudzu flowers and combine it with boiled fresh ginger, and have the Emperor drink it. He should sober up within an hour. I will write down the specific dosages for you."
"Understood," the Imperial Physician quickly agreed.
Ye Qichi then went aside to write down the prescription.
Eunuch Mu naturally inquired with the Imperial Physician, "Are there any contraindications with the Princess’s prescription?"
"They are all gentle medicines, suitable for sobering up, with no impact on His Majesty’s health."
"Then that is good," Eunuch Mu finally felt relieved.
Ye Qichi gave the prescription to the Imperial Physician, reminding him of the dosages and intervals between administrations.
Afterward, she followed Xiao Jinxing out of the Emperor’s sleeping chamber.
Outside the palace.
Ye Qichi straightforwardly said, "Your father’s kidney function has no problems, and no abnormalities were found in other organs such as the prostate."
Xiao Jinxing obviously did not understand.
Putting it in plain terms, "The organs are fine, the problem lies in the fact that someone has administered a drug to your father that has eliminated that particular desire," Ye Qichi said bluntly.
Xiao Jinxing had actually thought about this himself.
He didn’t feel there was anything wrong with his father’s health normally.
"But now, since we don’t know what your father has ingested, I can’t prescribe the right medicine. The only way is to get a share of the Emperor’s meals for me," Ye Qichi said.
Xiao Jinxing thought about the feasibility of obtaining his father’s dietary details.
"This is the only fundamental way to treat your father’s condition," Ye Qichi pressured Xiao Jinxing.
"Alright, I will try to find a way," Xiao Jinxing nodded.
The two walked through the Imperial Palace.
Ye Qichi rubbed her hands together, "We don’t have to go back to the palace anymore, right?!"
She truly had no interest in such banquets.
Although the food was quite good.
But it was too official and uncomfortable.
"Yes," Xiao Jinxing nodded.
The two of them then left the Imperial Palace directly.
Meanwhile.
Back at the palace.
After Xiao Jinxing left, Xiao Jinsen had actually departed as well.
He went directly to Zhao Mengyu’s palace.
Every time after getting drunk, although Zhao Mengyu left with Xiao Zhanping, the Emperor, feeling unwell from the wine, did not wish for anyone to stay by his side and would not allow people to approach.
