Chapter 175: Ice Lotus
The Imperial Physician Ling finally came and was about to salute Emperor Yanbei, but Emperor Yanbei immediately said, "What kind of courtesy, show it to Qingyuan!"
"Yes." The imperial doctor's order should be given immediately.
It had been a long time since he had seen His Majesty so anxious and worried about a person.
The last time I saw His Majesty look like this was when the Queen was seriously ill.
Looking at Sheng Qingyuan's pale face, Emperor Yanbei was still not at ease, and said to King Heng, "You go out of the palace quickly and invite Bai Lao here."
"Yes." King Heng did not hesitate, and immediately went out of the palace to invite Bai Lao.
Emperor Yanbei saw the long blood mark on Sheng Qingyuan's hand, and his heart suddenly throbbed for a while.
He suddenly felt that the punishment of just taking the concubine as a girl was too light.
So, Emperor Yanbei immediately ordered: "Pass the decree, take away all the titles of Concubine Shu, demote her to a concubine, and send her to a prison to await trial!"
The eunuch hurried to deliver the decree.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Sheng Qingyuan carelessly.
What's so special about this Princess Jing from Da Zhou?
Unexpectedly, His Majesty was so merciless to the concubine who was deeply favored for her.
It is already a very heavy punishment to reduce the concubine who has the title and is already on the throne to the eighth grade of the concubine, but His Majesty just glanced at the wound of Princess Najing, and even put Concubine Shu in the prison.
Sheng Qingyuan didn't expect Emperor Yanbei to punish Concubine Shu so heavily.
It's just that she's nothing.
She had no grievances with Concubine Shu, so she wanted her life.
She is not a virgin, and there is no need to intercede for someone who wants her life.
After the imperial doctor ordered Sheng Qingyuan's pulse diagnosis, he was shocked by her pulse and subconsciously looked at Emperor Yanbei.
Immediately, he seemed to understand why His Majesty was so angry for this princess Jing who came from the Great Zhou.
"How?" Emperor Yanbei hurriedly asked.
The Imperial Physician Ling replied: "If you go back to Your Majesty, the princess's body is really empty, and now her arm is injured and bleeding, and she needs to be recuperated extra carefully in the future."
"How's the injury on her arm?" Emperor Yanbei asked.
The imperial physician replied: "The injury on Princess Jing's arm did not hurt her muscles and bones, so the minister bandaged the princess, and as long as she raised for a period of time, she could recover."
Hearing this, Emperor Yanbei's heart also relaxed, "You can bandage it."
The Imperial Physician knew the importance of Sheng Qingyuan, so he bandaged it very carefully.
By the time he finished dealing with the wound on Sheng Qingyuan's arm, King Heng had already returned with Bai Lao, and Shen Zhao had come with him.
Sheng Qingyuan raised a reassuring smile at Shen Zhao.
It's just her pale face that makes her reassuring smile seem unconvincing.
Emperor Yanbei said to Shen Zhao, "I will give you an explanation for this matter, but the princess is injured and her health is not good, so it is better to stay in the palace to recuperate, and it will be more convenient for the imperial doctor."
King Heng knew Emperor Yanbei's thoughts, so he also persuaded Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao: "Don't worry, this is the imperial brother's dormitory, which is the safest, and Bai Lao used to be the head of the Tai Hospital, and he is familiar with the Tai Hospital, and it is also convenient to take all aspects of medicine directly from the Tai Hospital."
Shen Zhao's eyes shone slightly, and finally looked at Sheng Qingyuan, seeing that she didn't have a clear answer, and she couldn't say whether she was willing or not, so she said, "If that's the case, then it's disturbed."
Seeing that the two of them were willing to stay in the palace, Emperor Yanbei was visibly happy.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at the joy on Emperor Yanbei's face and narrowed his eyes.
After Bai Lao took a look at Sheng Qingyuan's situation, he prescribed her a calming medicine and told her to sleep well first.
Seeing that Sheng Qingyuan was already asleep, Shen Zhao went out to find Emperor Yanbei and King Heng.
"She's asleep?" King Heng cared.
"Hmm." Shen Zhao nodded lightly.
Shen Zhao asked King Heng, "Of those forbidden troops who started against Qing Yuan today, are there any other masters among them?"
"Why did King Jing say that?" King Heng asked him.
"The person who can enter the forbidden army can't be a fool, who has the guts to kill people in the palace garden?" Shen Zhao asked in a cold voice.
King Heng said, "That's the order of the concubine."
Shen Zhao looked at him coldly: "King Heng thinks you believe this when you say it?"
Concubine Shu, a concubine in the harem, and it is said that the time after entering the palace is not long, she can instruct the forbidden army that should be directly dispatched by the emperor to kill people?
Speaking of which, is the concubine too high, or is the emperor too indulgent to her?
King Heng knew that he couldn't hide it from Shen Zhao, and said, "I will give you an explanation for this matter, since the words have been said to this point, you can guess the identity of the person who can be instructed, and how to deal with it in the end, after all, it needs the will of the imperial brother."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your explanation." Shen Zhao said.
After speaking, Shen Zhao returned to the side hall.
King Heng also breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the dormitory of the Xuanzheng Palace, and told Emperor Yanbei about Shen Zhao's inquiry just now.
Emperor Yanbei was very satisfied with Shen Zhao's questioning, "It's good that he can have this guess."
Then, his face sank slightly, and he asked, "Did you find out?" Who are the masters of those individuals?"
King Heng said, "It's the third man."
"Who helped him?" Emperor Yanbei asked in a deep voice.
Even if the third prince was able to move freely before, he didn't have that much ability to command the people of the forbidden army, but now that he is confined, he can command it?
Are you kidding!
"Still investigating." King Heng said.
"Investigate thoroughly, whoever you find, arrest them immediately." Emperor Yanbei ordered in a calm voice.
How long does this person's hand have to stretch out to instruct the forbidden army to kill people in the palace?
"Do you have any doubters?" Emperor Yanbei asked him.
King Heng frowned, "I'll tell you when I have definite evidence."
"Just say it." Emperor Yanbei said.
King Heng told Emperor Yanbei of his suspicions.
After listening to King Heng's speculation, Emperor Yanbei's face immediately became gloomy.
"Go and check, once you find out...... Lock it up first, I'll try it myself." Emperor Yanbei said coldly.
"Yes." King Heng answered, and then looked at Emperor Yanbei worriedly, and couldn't help but worry about his physical condition.
"I'm fine...... Poof......" Before Emperor Yanbei's words were finished, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
King Heng immediately invited Bai Lao.
Bai Lao gave Emperor Yanbei an injection to stabilize his situation temporarily, and just as he wanted to speak, Emperor Yanbei took the first step to ask him, "How is Qingyuan?"
"It needs to be carefully raised, quite carefully, and ...... I have an idea to use a little ice lotus for her too." Bai Lao said.
Emperor Yanbei and King Heng couldn't help but be stunned when they heard what Bai Lao said.
"However, the Ice Lotus is also highly poisonous, if Qing Yuan is allowed to take the Ice Lotus as well, then wouldn't she be ...... too," King Heng expressed his worries.
Bai Lao said, "The Ice Lotus is highly poisonous, and there is no guarantee what will happen to the princess after taking the Ice Lotus."
Saying that, Bai Lao sighed helplessly and said, "This is also a helpless way, the princess's foundation is really poor, and it can be seen from her pulse that she has been physically and mentally tired for at least half a year recently, and this time she was injured......
Bai Lao couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "The princess's current health is really too bad, and there is no way to use the ice lotus."
He didn't know that although the ice lotus was a holy medicine for healing, it was also highly poisonous.
Can Sheng Qingyuan's current physical condition, if she doesn't use the ice lotus, then she is afraid that she will not be able to persevere.
"It's not the season for the ice lotus to bloom, and there is no ice lotus in the storehouse, so if you want the ice lotus, you can only go to the cliff at the top of the mountain
Try your luck." King Heng said.
These words made the dormitory fall silent all of a sudden.
It is said to try their luck, but after so many years, no one has ever been able to find ice lotus in the season when it is not in full bloom.
Although it was previously recorded that someone had seen an ice lotus on a cliff, that was only a record.
The cliffs were all smooth ice, and there was no point of force for the feet.
If you tie your waist from the top of the mountain, it is not a feasible way, not to mention the rugged mountain road, the wind and snow on the top of the mountain are unpredictable, even in summer, it can be like a December storm, if you are not careful, you will be flooded by heavy snow, or directly blown away, ordinary people choose to go up at this time, basically to die.
Therefore, in the past, more ice lotuses would be collected during the season when the ice lotus was in full bloom, and it was also necessary to prepare for emergencies.
It's a pity that the ice lotus has grown very little in recent years, and the inventory has been used up, and there is nothing left.
"Ice Lotus must be needed?" King Heng reaffirmed to Bai Lao.
"Although the Ice Lotus is also a last resort to take risks, if there is no Ice Lotus, with the current situation of the princess, it will be difficult to recover to a normal person's physique, and even if the decoction is not separated, it will be much weaker than ordinary people." Bai Lao said.
Emperor Yanbei confirmed to Bai Lao again, "With her current physical condition, if she takes Ice Lotus, what will happen to the most serious thing?"
"Poisoned to death." Bai Lao said truthfully.
is a simple four words, but it is like a mountain pressing on the heart of Emperor Yanbei.
After being silent for a long time, King Heng said to Emperor Yanbei, "Brother Huang, it's better to let King Jing decide."
Emperor Yanbei's face was cold, and his hands were clenched into fists.
He didn't want Sheng Qingyuan to take this risk, his life was like this.
But he couldn't bear to see her stay with her all her life, but she couldn't live a normal life.
"Is there really no other way?" Emperor Yanbei asked unrelentingly.
Bai Lao shook his head.
Seeing that Emperor Yanbei had been unable to decide, King Heng got up directly and went to find Shen Zhao.
After Shen Zhao heard King Heng's words, he immediately said, "I'll go pick the ice lotus."
"You want Seongwon to take a risk?" King Heng frowned and asked him, "If she fails, then she will ...... Qingyuan."
"She wouldn't want to be so weak that she couldn't do anything for the rest of her life." Shen Zhao said with his eyebrows condensed.
Sheng Qingyuan looked gentle, but he was actually a very strong person.
If she can't do anything for the rest of her life and can only stay at home to recuperate, it will be quite painful for her.
"Do you want to ask what Qing Yuan means?" King Heng asked Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao nodded, "Yes, it's just that I hope you don't tell her about the actual picking of ice lotus now."
King Heng frowned and looked at him, but in the end he didn't say anything, only nodded silently.
After Sheng Qingyuan woke up and finished eating, Shen Zhao told her about her current situation.
After listening to Shen Zhao's words, Sheng Qingyuan said without any hesitation, "I'm going to give it a try."
Moreover, whether it was for her or for Emperor Yanbei's condition, she needed Binglian.
Shen Zhao knew her answer, and there was no surprise, "Okay, but before you get the ice lotus, you need to rest well and don't think nonsense."
"Hmm." Sheng Qingyuan nodded in response.
But then he couldn't help but ask Shen Zhao, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"
