Chapter 105: Retreat to Advance

Emperor Jing had an unbearable headache, and veins popped out on his forehead. When he saw Su Wan barging in, her voice was like a knife stabbing into his head. He held the armchair tightly with both hands, and the veins on the back of his hands were hideous.

Except for the first time he took the elixir, there was no pain at all. Every time he took the elixir, the pain became more and more painful. After getting over it, although his appearance looked older than before, he felt much younger in every aspect.

The Taoist priest said that if you pursue the path to immortality, your appearance will change and you will be rejuvenated.

This was the first time I had such an unbearable headache. I wanted to bang my head against the wall and roll on the ground to relieve the pain.

His eyes were red and angry.

"emperor--"

Eunuch Li noticed the problem and ran over to help Emperor Jing.

"What's wrong with you? Do you have a headache? I'm going to call for the imperial doctor." Eunuch Li shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Come here! Go and ask for the imperial doctor!"

Emperor Jing's face turned blue with pain and he broke into a cold sweat.

"I'll do it!" Su Wan knew that the opportunity had come, so she quickly walked over and took Emperor Jing's pulse.

Eunuch Li separated her hand and said, "Miss Su, the imperial doctor will be here later."

"Has the Emperor had this symptom before?" Su Wan looked solemn.

Eunuch Li shook his head: "It's just slight."

Su Wan emphasized her tone, "That's right, the emperor suddenly suffered from an emergency, and when the imperial doctor comes, if something happens in the meantime, can you bear it? I cherish my life very much, and I will never take action easily if I am not sure. "

Eunuch Li finally compromised and asked Su Wan to treat her.

Su Wan skillfully took Emperor Jing's pulse. The pulse was normal and nothing unusual. She stared at Emperor Jing's face and lip color, which were obviously very abnormal. The strength of his fingers was a little stronger, and his pulse was strange. Her eyes changed slightly, and she concentrated on her pulse. She realized that Emperor Jing was poisoned, and her heart was filled with panic. Someone actually wanted to assassinate the emperor, and they had succeeded.

Who is this person?

Su Wan felt that she was careless. If she was not careful, she might be involved in the conspiracy.

She retracted her hand and said calmly: "The emperor's eyelids are severely bruised. He probably has a headache due to lack of sleep. I will give him a few injections and it will be cured."

Eunuch Li was doubtful, but he thought that the imperial physician had checked Emperor Jing's pulse several times before, and he was in good health.

Ever since Emperor Jing pursued the path to immortality, he rarely slept and was very energetic, which was a bit like the symptoms Su Wan mentioned.

"Come here." Eunuch Li helped Emperor Jing lie down on the large dragon chair.

Su Wan took out the needle bag from her sleeve, took out the silver needle, and gave Emperor Jing acupuncture. While supporting his head, she turned her back to Eunuch Li and quickly stuffed a pill into Emperor Jing's mouth.

Eunuch Li watched closely, and with a wink, five or six imperial guards came in. If anything went wrong, they quickly captured Su Wan.

Qinglan had never seen such a battle before, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.

In my heart, I hoped that Su Wan would be beheaded if something went wrong.

Then I thought about it, Su Wan was a member of the Su family, and if there was anything wrong with the emperor, the entire nine Su family clans would be destroyed.

But if it's cured... Su Wan is kind to the emperor, will he favor Su Wan, right?

Qinglan was about to say something to interrupt Su Wan's treatment.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" Eunuch Li asked cautiously.

Emperor Jing moved his eyebrows. There was still a bitter taste left by the pills in his mouth. He shook his head and said, "It's better. My head doesn't hurt anymore." As he spoke, Emperor Jing looked directly at Su Wan, staring at her young and bright face, as if he saw Qi Min's raised eyebrows were exactly the same.

Emperor Jing sat up on the dragon chair with a silver needle stuck in his head. He raised his hand to pull it out and threw it on the dragon table. He asked Su Wan in a cool tone: "When you came in just now, did you say that Mrs. Dingyuan Hou framed you? You Tell me, it’s not the dowry she mentioned, which dowry do you want?”

Su Wan calmly put away the silver needle, returned to the middle of the hall, knelt beside Qinglan and replied: "After the death of my daughter's mother, the dowry has always been in the hands of her father. After my daughter later got married, not only did her biological mother leave her They didn’t give me the dowry, not even a dowry of a copper coin. It was the great grace of the Hou family that my step-sister married into the royal family. The Hou family couldn’t afford the dowry, so they gave her my biological mother’s dowry, so as not to let outsiders know. The Marquis Mansion is shabby, but I am willing to offer it with both hands."

She raised her hands to cover her face, and when she put her hands down again, her eyes were red and full of tears. She raised her head slightly, stubbornly not letting the tears flow down, and said with a choke in her throat: "My grandfather was responsible for saving the car, and the late emperor rewarded Qi with an imperial edict." I can give you everything as a sign of royal grace, but I can’t give this to anyone else.”

"I asked my stepmother for the imperial edict and asked her to return it to me. Not only did she refuse to return it to me, but she even talked nonsense."

Qinglan's eyes widened, and she was very shocked. She didn't seem to think that Su Wan was not asking for the dowry, but for the imperial edict. He even talks nonsense and slanders others!

She denied it with an excited expression: "I didn't!"

"Did you not return the imperial edict to me, or did you not speak nonsense? I have not reported the truth to the emperor, and you are so eager to deny it. Aren't you guilty?" Su Wan was aggressive, and the corners of her slightly raised lips were sarcastic, as if to say, " You are not the only one who talks nonsense." He said word by word: "You said that the emperor pursues immortality and lets the regent take charge of the government and ignore the affairs of the court. The prince has grown up and can take charge of the affairs on his own. It is better to pass the throne to the prince and focus on cultivation. , to prevent the throne from falling into the hands of others. Therefore, this imperial edict cannot be returned to me. It will be used to help the prince become a great treasure. It will be of great benefit to me in the future. "

"I was shocked at the time. This is the empire of the Ji family. How could it be our turn as a woman to make the decision? But my stepmother insisted on going her own way and didn't listen to my advice at all. My daughter was afraid that the Hou Mansion would suffer disaster because of her, so she I want to tell my grandmother to stop her. Who knew she would complain first!”

"Your Majesty, please be careful. The late emperor trusted my grandfather and gave him such a great grace. Saving the lives of his family's descendants at a critical moment can be regarded as repaying the original life-saving grace. My grandfather was fiercely loyal to the imperial court and would never do anything like this. The idea of ​​interfering with the crown prince would go against the original intention of the late emperor, otherwise he would not be able to rest in peace while underground." Su Wan put her hands on the ground and rested her forehead on the back of her hands: "I am incompetent and cannot protect my mother's dowry. I beg the emperor. Take back the imperial edict, so that no one can cause harm to Chao Gang!"

Emperor Jing was furious and stared at Qinglan. He did not expect that a woman would dare to point fingers at the position of the crown prince.

He is not dead yet!

Eunuch Li couldn't help but take a second look at Su Wan. She told her about the imperial edict given by the late emperor to the Qi family, which was to protect the lives of the Qi family's descendants and to repay the life-saving grace. Later, she used retreat as an advance and begged the emperor to take back the imperial edict.

For what she said, how could the emperor take back the imperial edict?

Not only did he think she understood the general idea, but he also "forced" her to accept the imperial edict.

Sure enough, Emperor Jing said with anger: "This is the grace given by the late emperor to General Qi. Naturally, only the descendants of the Qi family can use it. I cannot take back the late emperor's decision. Su Li, I limit you to return the imperial edict within today." The original owner, if he disobeys my instructions, he will be punished for stealing the imperial edict."

ps Qinglan's surname is Li, and her surname is Guanfu, so she is called Su Li.
