Chapter 528
The imperial physician arrived soon, and the palace servant hurriedly invited him to the inner hall.

Looking at the emperor's condition on the bed, the imperial doctor's eyebrows jumped. The saint's symptoms were probably not good.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart for the time being, and sat on the edge of the bed to carefully feel his pulse.

"How?" Concubine Li looked at the imperial physician's frowning, her face full of anxiety.

The doctor's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and it took him a long time to withdraw his hand to feel the pulse. The words passed by his mouth before hesitatingly asked: "Mother, I wonder what kind of tiger and wolf medicine the saint has used recently?"

"Medicine?" Concubine Li shook her head blankly, then seemed to remember something, found the porcelain bottle from before and handed it to the imperial doctor, "Does this count?"

The imperial doctor took it with both hands, poured out the elixir inside, brought it to the tip of his nose to sniff it carefully, and took some powder with his fingertips to taste.

"But there's something wrong with this elixir?" Li Bin nervously grabbed the lapel of her clothes.

The imperial doctor frowned slightly. Most of the medicinal materials used in this elixir were tonic and aphrodisiac for men.There is no harm in using such elixirs occasionally.

However, he heard that the saint had been staying at Concubine Li's place in recent days. After all, the saint was getting older. If he was greedy for beauty and often relied on this elixir, he might not have any accidents.

When he heard the chamberlain mention what happened last night, he had a rough idea of ​​the answer.

The saint, he... probably suffered a stroke due to his high spirits and blood spurting because of taking this aphrodisiac and aphrodisiac elixir...

Thinking of this, the imperial doctor couldn't help but look embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

If it is said that the elixir itself is fine, but the current situation of the saint is not a sign of poisoning, and I am afraid it still has something to do with it.

After all, the saint is a noble person. Due to his greed for beauty and excessive use of medicine, he is now like this. If others know about it, it may not damage the majesty of the emperor.

He cupped his hands and said in panic: "This elixir itself is not poisonous, but people's bodies are different. The saint's body was already slightly damaged. I am afraid that it was because of the use of this elixir that his energy was exhausted, which attracted the evil wind." Entering the body. The saint is... having a stroke..."

"Stroke?" Li Bin was shocked.

To such a point where you can't move or speak?

The emperor on the couch widened his eyes and looked in disbelief. His lips trembled violently but he was speechless.

Concubine Li looked at the emperor, her face full of anxiety and pain: "Since it is diagnosed as a stroke, let the saint treat it as soon as possible! If it cannot be cured, I will ask you!"

When the imperial doctor heard this, he immediately grimaced.

The emperor of the Great Zhou has become what he is now, so he needs to be healed.However, the disease of stroke cannot be cured by medicine, especially for a saint with such a serious appearance.It's better, maybe I can still move after the treatment, but it's just a little inconvenient, but if it's not good... the rest of my life will be like this...

The imperial doctor secretly complained in his heart and said with sincerity and fear: "I will definitely do my best." After saying that, he took out the silver needle from the medicine box and began to give the emperor acupuncture.

But the emperor still had doubts about the words of the imperial physician.

Was it really just a stroke?

He had been using this elixir for more than half a year, so why did Xiao Lingjiang suffer an accidental stroke when he was trapped in the palace?
He thought of the "evil wind entering the body" that the imperial physician had just said, and even suspected that this matter was not simple.

While the imperial doctor finished administering the needles and went to boil the medicine, Yuan Buqing and Xuanyuan, who hurried from outside the palace, also arrived at the palace one after another.

The two of them were proficient in mystical arts and knew a lot about medicine.When he saw their figures, the emperor's eyes lit up.

With these two people here, the evil magic that led him to this situation will definitely be revealed!

However, to the emperor's disappointment, the two men examined him carefully and found nothing unusual.

It seems... just as the imperial doctor said, he took the elixir too frequently and suffered a stroke due to the gushing blood.

Is this to blame him for being addicted to beauty and having no restraint?

The emperor was angry and frightened in his heart. He blinked at Yuan Buqing and Xuanyuan, hoping that the two of them, who were always skilled in methods, could find a way to cure him quickly.However, the symptoms of a stroke that caused him now are often caused by congestion and damage to the brain, which cannot be easily cured. Even Yuan Buqing and Xuanyuan, who are proficient in mystical arts, cannot cure the disease immediately.

No matter how anxious the emperor was, he had to wait patiently for them to treat him slowly.

The emperor fell ill, so naturally he had no choice but to stop the court.

Although the current man cannot be regarded as a peerless wise king, he can still be said to be diligent in his administration and rarely leaves the government.When the ministers heard the news, they couldn't help but inquire privately.

If the symptoms in front of the emperor were leaked, it would inevitably cause panic in the court, and even the emperor himself did not want this to happen.

Therefore, Yuan did not hesitate to specifically order the palace attendants to keep their mouths shut. Except for concubine Li and the concubine De who was in charge of the harem on behalf of the empress, the other courtiers, concubines, and princes did not know the reason.

The ministers couldn't find out the reason, so they had to discuss it privately and leave the palace.

However, after all, this matter had not been hidden for a long time. The emperor did not go to court for several days in a row. Anyone who asked to see him was blocked and turned away. They gradually became unable to sit still.

Then, news came out that the emperor was afraid that something was wrong. In fear, the courtiers, concubines and princes could no longer restrain themselves and knelt in front of the emperor's palace.

"I beg you to see the saint!"

"I beg you to see the saint!"

"My son, please see the saint!"

"I beg the saint to meet you!"

"My dear, look at this." Concubine Li, who had always been flamboyant, had no choice but to soften her temper and asked timidly.

Concubine De glanced at her impatiently. If it weren't for the difficulty of dealing with her right now, just because she had seduced the saint into taking the tiger and wolf medicine so that she could no longer move or speak, it would be hard to say whether her life could have been saved.

It's just that it's not appropriate to make a big show of it right now. She has to suppress the people in the harem who are ready to move, and she also has to appease the courtiers. It's inevitable that one person will not be able to do it.In addition, Libi begged to stay and serve the saint, so she let her go.

If the sage is cured, maybe she can still be allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds for the sake of her ardent service, but if she is not cured, her little life will be gone.

At the moment, I'm afraid no one can hope that the saint will be safe and sound more than she does.

Concubine De frowned as she listened to the movement in front of the palace. She didn't know if she could still stop this situation.

She opened the palace door and was about to speak to dissuade her when she was interrupted by a voice.

"The saint is ill and needs to rest. They can't see him. Could it be that even I can't see him?"

Concubine De raised her head and saw a man wearing a phoenix robe walking up the stairs. Even though she was very haggard after being confined for a long time, the aura of nobleness and elegance of her mother who cared about the world remained undiminished.

It's the queen!
Her eyes couldn't help but shrink.

The queen walked through the crowd kneeling in front of the hall, walked step by step to Concubine De, and asked in a solemn voice: "Concubine De, let me ask you! What disease did the saint suffer from? You are blocking people from seeking to see the saint, but you have evil intentions. !”

After all, she came from an aristocratic family and had been in the lower position for a long time, once her momentum came out, Concubine De felt weaker by two points.

"What did the empress say? How dare I harm the saint? This is all for the saint's cultivation. But you are still in confinement and shouldn't come out."

The queen snorted coldly: "If I don't come out, this great Zhou Dynasty will probably become your own world, right? Now that you are blocking the ministers from asking to see the saint, you may do something treacherous and unethical in the future!"

"Don't forget, even if you are banned, I am still the queen of this great Zhou Dynasty and the saint's wife!"

She took out the phoenix seal from her sleeve, then raised it high, and the wind blew her wide sleeves flying: "Concubine De, I have the face of a saint, do I see it or not?"
