Su Qingcheng was shocked. The last time he saw Emperor Dong Ling, he was still very high-spirited and strong. Today, he looks like those who have half a foot in the gate of hell.

"Nothing... cough cough cough. Since you already know... then come here and let me see you, cough cough cough." The emperor said intermittently, coughing every sentence, which looked very painful.

The eldest princess was really frightened. She came to the emperor's bed tremblingly and said, "Father, has the imperial doctor been here? How could you become like this!"

The Queen answered: "I have been here and said that the King's illness has been delayed for too long and has been..."

At this point, she choked and started crying.

Su Qingcheng wanted to follow and get closer, but was stopped by the Queen's gaze, which looked extremely fierce.

The eldest princess followed what the empress said and said: "Father, the king is here. This is the panacea I asked for from a miraculous doctor. Maybe it can save you. Please take it quickly."

The queen was very pleased and coaxed and persuaded: "This is all the child's wish. Maybe it will succeed. Your Majesty, please take it."

When the emperor saw this, he burst into tears and was so moved: "In the end, you still have me in your heart...ahem...if you ask me, this woman can also sit on the throne."

After hearing this, the queen's eyes flashed with joy, and she took the emperor's hand and said, "Beiyuan has always believed in equality between men and women and respected the female emperor system. The current emperor is the female emperor. Is it true that A Xi can do that?"

"Axi doesn't need any help from the emperor, why not?"

Su Qingcheng pondered in her heart. She knew very little about Beiyuan. Although she had read many books about Beiyuan before, they almost never mentioned that a woman was in power...

Perhaps Nanye didn't want women to have such thoughts, so he maliciously deleted this piece of truth.

"My sons behave one way in front of me and behave another way in front of me. They are not responsible! I thought that if the fourth child can't do it, the third one can, but in the end...ahem..."

The emperor vomited out a mouthful of blood. Su Qingcheng quickly moved the handkerchief away with quick eyesight. Fortunately, he did not vomit on the eldest princess.

The color is dark, red with black, obvious signs of poisoning.

The queen immediately grabbed Su Qingcheng and pushed her back. She came to the emperor and said with concern: "Your Majesty, please stop talking and drink this bowl of mugwort soup."

Wormwood soup...

Su Qingcheng was confused and asked in a low voice: "May I ask the queen, who prescribed this mugwort soup to the king?"

Seeing her cleverness, the emperor had a good impression of her and answered her: "Is there any problem with the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Hospital?"

The eldest princess also looked at her. She naturally knew that Su Qingcheng's medical skills were superb. Seeing her like this, she must have found her father's illness.

However, the queen's face was not very pretty. She frowned and said, "Xi'er, is the maid next to you so unruly? The king and I didn't ask her to speak before she started asking questions."

The emperor said: "It doesn't matter. I see that this child is very honest, so it doesn't hurt to let her ask."

Emperor Dong Ling spoke, and Su Qingcheng became confident and said, "I know some medical skills. Although I don't know what the king's illness is, this mugwort soup is definitely useless."

"How do you say this?" The emperor's face changed slightly and he asked.

He also felt that the disease came on strangely. He had obviously been hiding from it these days. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary typhoid fever, but it became more and more serious and he couldn't sleep all day long.

Really unable to bear it, he called the imperial doctor, who said that the disease was incurable and that he had to rely on self-healing.

Su Qingcheng glanced at the queen, who didn't seem to stop her from continuing, and said: "This fumigated mugwort can indeed reduce phlegm and relieve cough, nourish yin and yang, and clear the meridians, but this mugwort soup does not have these effects. , is useless for men, and is only consumed by women when they feel unwell during menstruation.”

After hearing this, Emperor Dongling was furious: "How unreasonable!"

He suddenly knocked over the mugwort soup, pointed at the door and yelled: "I just said that those quack doctors in the Tai Hospital are useless. It's a shame that I have supported them for so many years. They are really a bunch of trash!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! Why don't you try the elixir that the eldest princess has asked for for you." The queen gently stroked his back with one hand, and quietly motioned to the eldest princess to bring up the elixir with the other hand.

Just when Su Qingcheng was about to stop him, the queen said coldly: "Thanks to you, the king, I can see the true face of Taiyuan Hospital today. You can go to Aunt Zhang to collect some silver reward."

With a warning look in her eyes, Su Qingcheng understood what she meant. In order not to expose herself, she could only lower her head and thank her: "Yes, thank you very much, Queen. I will leave."

Seeing this, the eldest princess took out the elixir from her sleeve. In order to prevent the queen from seeing the gap in the elixir, the eldest princess turned sideways and handed it to the king.

"Father, this is what I specially asked for."

The emperor was very moved, took the elixir, ate it in one gulp, and said, "It's rare for you to be filial."

The queen finally showed a heartfelt smile. She helped the emperor sleep and said, "Your Majesty, have a good rest. I am here to accompany you."

The eldest princess resigned. After leaving the main hall, she went straight to the back garden. As expected, she saw Su Qingcheng's figure at the pavilion in the back garden.

"Is there anything wrong with the medicine?" the eldest princess asked complicatedly.

The Queen's behavior today was really puzzling. She had to suspect that the Queen was directing and acting on her own.

"I don't know yet. I'll have to use my golden needle to find out when I get back. But I think the emperor's symptoms are already very serious. I'm afraid he won't have much time left."

Su Qingcheng told the truth that the key to practicing medicine is to observe, hear and ask questions, and what she learned best was seeing and smelling. Judging from Emperor Dong Ling's face and his breathing, if he was poisoned eight times, even if he took the time to detoxify, he would probably not survive. Only forty.

She didn't tell the eldest princess all this. When the two returned to the princess' mansion, Mr. Hao rushed out and threw himself into the eldest princess's arms as soon as he received the news.

"Mom...I miss you so much..."

He said coquettishly with a cry, suddenly realizing that there were many outsiders here, he immediately covered his mouth and changed his words: "Oh no, I mean Her Royal Highness, I miss you so much."

His actions made Su Qingcheng feel distressed for a while, not to mention the eldest princess who was a mother. She had tears in her eyes and hugged Young Master Hao tightly.

"From now on, just call me mother."

Mother and son hugged each other tightly.

Su Qingcheng left quietly so as not to disturb the good time of mother and son. As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw Wu Ya pressing a woman in white to the ground.

"How is this going?"

Su Qingcheng stepped forward and saw the woman's face clearly. It was Miss Yulan who claimed to be one of the four ambassadors of Princess Beiyuan on Fengyun Mountain not long ago.

Wu Ya had no intention of letting go. She controlled Yu Lan and said, "She has been sneaking around the princess mansion for a few days. I couldn't bear it anymore and I arrested her."
