"Let me check on the Emperor first," Yun Shu said softly to Zhan Xiao Li.
Zhan Xiao Li nodded obediently, his heart overflowing with joy. He would find an opportunity to ask Auntie Yun Shu!
Seeing the two of them completely ignoring him, Zhan Tian Ye's face instantly darkened. He could clearly feel that Yun Shu was truly only concerned about Zhan Xiao Li, not even glancing at him.
Yun Shu approached Zhan Tian Hong.
At this moment, Zhan Tian Hong had completely lost consciousness, his brows tightly furrowed. It was evident that Zhan Tian Hong was enduring immense pain.
Yun Shu's eyes were cold. With her medical skills, he shouldn't have been falling ill repeatedly. In the palace, an invisible hand was continuously poisoning Zhan Tian Hong. As soon as Zhan Tian Hong appeared to be recovering well for a couple of days, a potent dose of poison would be administered. Zhan Tian Hong's frail body simply couldn't withstand it!
She swiftly inserted acupuncture needles into him. Then, she administered medicine for Zhan Tian Hong to swallow.
Soon, Zhan Tian Hong woke up. The moment he awoke, Zhan Tian Hong was still somewhat dazed, likely unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"Yun... Shu." Zhan Tian Hong regained his senses and stared blankly at Yun Shu.
Seeing Yun Shu save Zhan Tian Hong, Zhan Xiao Li's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Auntie Yun Shu is amazing!" So many imperial physicians couldn't save the Emperor, but after Auntie Yun Shu arrived, the Emperor woke up! She's truly incredible!
Zhan Tian Ye's suspended heart settled, his dark gaze falling upon Yun Shu. Yun Shu was tidying her silver needles. In his eyes, she seemed to possess something more now. Could her medical skills truly be compared to that of a divine physician?
"The Emperor has been poisoned again," Yun Shu stated in a calm voice. Zhan Tian Hong's lips were still somewhat purple. Being young, he couldn't control his expression. "Someone is continuously poisoning me!"
At this moment, likely having heard some commotion in the palace, Geng Yu Fei and others waiting outside the door anxiously inquired, "Has the Emperor woken up?"
"Yes." Zhan Tian Hong's expression turned cold. For now, he couldn't let people know that Yun Shu had saved him, or someone would surely target Yun Shu.
Geng Yu Fei was stunned. Yun Shu arrived, and the Emperor woke up? Jian Ren Yun Shu wasn't some divine doctor, so why, after only arriving not long ago, were the imperial physicians helpless, saying the Emperor could only wake up on his own, and now, just moments later, the Emperor was awake! Could it be too much of a coincidence? As far as she knew, Yun Shu had only met the Emperor a few times, yet she held such importance in the Emperor's heart!
"Quick, imperial physicians, go in quickly and examine the Emperor's condition!" Geng Yu Fei hastily instructed the imperial physicians behind her.
Yun Shu had already tidied her silver needles and sat down again. When Geng Yu Fei entered, her eyes darted towards Yun Shu like knives, fixated on her as if trying to find something suspicious. But she could find nothing, only realizing that Yun Shu's beauty was so striking that she wanted to destroy it!
"Your Majesty, this concubine was extremely worried! Thankfully, Your Majesty is unharmed." Geng Yu Fei wiped her tears and moved aside, ensuring Zhan Tian Hong could see the glistening tears on her face. Zhan Tian Hong didn't even look at her, merely grunting a "hm."
The imperial physicians surrounded Zhan Tian Hong, each taking his pulse. They were all dumbfounded. Zhan Tian Hong was well aware of these incompetent doctors and looked at them coldly. "When will I be completely healed?"
At this question, a group of imperial physicians knelt.
Zhan Tian Ye also spoke in a cold voice, "His Majesty's health has recovered considerably recently. Why did he suddenly collapse? And you were all helpless just now?!"
The imperial physicians trembled. "Your servant has done their utmost and has diligently treated His Majesty for years, but His Majesty's condition is peculiar, and we are truly helpless!" one imperial physician explained.
Yun Shu nodded. It wasn't their fault. The poison in Zhan Tian Hong was extremely strange. It looked like he had a rare illness, a rare illness that couldn't be cured no matter how it was treated.
"Is that truly so?" Zhan Tian Hong sneered. He was increasingly losing faith in these imperial physicians!
"Indeed so, Your Majesty!" several of them cried out in unison.
Zhan Tian Hong glanced at the sky outside and frowned, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Geng Yu Fei. "Before I lost consciousness, I asked you to invite the second Miss Yun into the palace. Why did the second Miss Yun only enter the palace at dawn?"
"This concubine did not hear clearly at the time. This concubine believed inviting imperial physicians into the palace was the priority. However, it is all this concubine's fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Geng Yu Fei gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground. But in her heart, she thought, *Hmph! That damned jian ren! I don't pay attention to any of the palace concubines. But I never expected Yun Shu, a mere little jian ren, to dare to seduce the Emperor!*
Zhan Xiao Li heard her thoughts and clenched his small fist tightly. *She's a bad person!*
"Since you know your mistake, you shall go to the temple to pray for me for a month!" Zhan Tian Hong didn't want to look at Geng Yu Fei at all.
Geng Yu Fei's eyes widened. "Your Majesty!"
Zhan Tian Hong raised an eyebrow. "Are you unwilling?"
Geng Yu Fei's eyes turned red, her voice trembling. "This concubine is willing."
"Guards, escort the Empress out of the palace immediately," Zhan Tian Ye commanded in a deep voice.
Geng Yu Fei rose tremblingly, her face pale. Thinking of something, she cast a venomous glance at Yun Shu before retreating. Yun Shu's eyes seemed to be covered with an icy frost that covered ten thousand miles, and she swept a glance at Geng Yu Fei.
"I need to use the restroom," Zhan Xiao Li said in a childlike voice.
Zhan Tian Ye was about to speak when Zhan Xiao Li, impatient, ran to Yun Shu. "Auntie Yun Shu, can you accompany me to the restroom?"
Yun Shu immediately nodded. "Of course!" She would agree if Xiao Li asked! Moreover, she felt he had something to tell her, perhaps to share a little secret. And she also had something to tell Xiao Li.
The elder and the younger, hand in hand, were about to leave.
"Stop!" Zhan Tian Ye's icy gaze fixed on their clasped hands.
Yun Shu turned back coldly. Zhan Xiao Li held Yun Shu's hand tightly.
"Qiu Lu, accompany Xiao Li," Zhan Tian Ye ordered Qiu Lu. Qiu Lu, only then reacting, swiftly and warily ran over. "Little Prince, I'll accompany you!"
"No!" Zhan Xiao Li coldly refused. Yun Shu looked at Zhan Tian Ye and the approaching Qiu Lu as if they were dead. She wanted to kill them. Qiu Lu shivered; Second Miss Yun's gaze was too terrifying!
Zhan Tian Hong, not understanding the situation, said, "Let the second Miss Yun accompany Xiao Li. I don't want to be here. Let's return to the Imperial Study. I need to tell Fifth Brother something." After speaking, he glanced at Yun Shu.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!" Yun Shu said immediately. She didn't forget to praise the young Emperor. At such a young age, he was much better than Prince Ye!
Yun Shu and Zhan Xiao Li walked out quickly together. Qiu Lu hadn't even reacted! Then, they were gone!
Yun Shu took Zhan Xiao Li to a deserted corner.
