Chapter 296 When Will the Emperor Wake Up?
"Your Majesty, please have Miss Muge come here!" Jinse bowed respectfully and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan looked puzzled and asked Jinse, "Even you can't solve this?"
Jinse quickly shook her head and explained, "This servant is truly ashamed. I am not familiar with this poison technique and have no way to detoxify it."
Su Nuannuan frowned slightly, muttering to herself thoughtfully, "So, it seems the Emperor really has been poisoned..."
After a moment of silence, Su Nuannuan made a decisive decision and instructed Jinse, "Go back to Cuiwei Palace immediately and invite Miss Muge here."
Jinse responded and prepared to turn around and leave quickly.
Just then, Canglan Jingyao, who had been standing silently to the side like a background figure, suddenly broke the silence. Her voice was clear and firm: "Mother, may I give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan looked at Canglan Jingyao with some surprise and a puzzled expression, asking, "Why didn't you go to your Crown Prince brother's place with your brother?"
Canglan Jingyao pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and softly replied, "Your subject went, but Crown Prince Brother sent me back."
Upon hearing that the princess wanted to try it, Jinse immediately stopped and turned to look at Su Nuannuan, awaiting her mistress's next instructions.
Seeing this, Su Nuannuan thought for a moment, then nodded to Canglan Jingyao and said, "Alright then, come over and take your father's pulse."
After receiving permission, Canglan Jingyao quickly stepped forward to the emperor's bedside, carefully extended her small hand, placed it on the emperor's wrist, and began to carefully take his pulse.
Time passed slowly, and Canglan Jingyao focused intently on sensing the emperor's pulse. After a moment, she slowly released her hand, raised her head, looked at Su Nuannuan with a firm gaze, and said, "Mother, I can cure Father's poison."
"You can solve it!?" Su Nuannuan looked at Canglan Jingyao in astonishment and disbelief. She never imagined that Canglan Jingyao would have such abilities.
“Mother, don’t worry. This is not a deadly poison. Consort Qin probably doesn’t want to kill Father,” Canglan Jingyao replied.
"Your Majesty, since the princess can cure the emperor's poison, then this servant will go to the Imperial Hospital to fetch the medicine." Upon hearing this, Jinse's heart was filled with hope, and she said impatiently.
"Jinse, calm down." Su Nuannuan quickly waved her hand, "Let's wait for Jianping to write down the required medicinal materials first."
"Yes, Your Highness. I was too hasty." Jinse realized she had acted impulsively and quickly bowed and apologized.
"I know you are worried about the Emperor, but this antidote must not be obtained from the Imperial Hospital." After a moment's thought, Su Nuannuan instructed, "Go back to Cuiwei Palace immediately and retrieve it from my small storeroom."
"Does Your Majesty mean... that the Imperial Hospital is deliberately preventing the Emperor from waking up?" Jinse asked suspiciously, seemingly understanding Su Nuannuan's intentions.
"Yes, that's possible. We'll discuss the Imperial Hospital matter together when Her Majesty the Empress arrives later," Su Nuannuan said solemnly.
I suspect there might be something wrong with the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. After all, if not, why would those imperial physicians conceal the truth and not tell the facts? Unless their medical skills are truly incompetent.”
Just then, Canglan Jingyao handed Jinse a list of medicinal herbs needed for the antidote and said, "Aunt Jinse, these herbs are all in Mother Consort's small storeroom."
Although their return to the palace was somewhat rushed, Canglan Jingyao and Muge successfully transported all the medicinal herbs back. For them, only by having the herbs in their own hands could they truly feel at ease.
Just like ordinary people, only when they have enough food in their hands will they not panic. Food is the foundation of people's survival, and medicine is equally vital for doctors.
For this reason, every year doctors go to great lengths to personally go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs in order to ensure the quality and supply of the herbs.
Jinse took the list of medicinal herbs from Canglan Jingyao, glanced at it briefly, and quickly put it into her sleeve. Then, without hesitation, she turned and left the Qinzheng Hall, heading straight for Cuiwei Palace.
About half an hour later, the Empress finally came out of the side hall.
She caught a glimpse of Su Nuannuan carefully feeding the Emperor medicine from a bowl, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
"Is this a newly developed antidote from the Imperial Medical Academy?" The Empress stepped forward quickly and asked in confusion.
Su Nuannuan quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this was not made by the Imperial Hospital, but was personally prepared by Jianping."
Upon hearing this, the Empress seemed to wake from a dream. She slapped her forehead and exclaimed in sudden realization, "Look at my memory! Jianping studied medicine. How could I have forgotten her?" With that, the Empress slowly sat down on a chair to the side.
However, Su Nuannuan's expression was somewhat solemn. She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you. I suspect that the head of the Imperial Medical Academy may have some problems."
Jianping carefully took the emperor's pulse and said that the poison the emperor had been afflicted with was not difficult to cure.
Then Su Nuannuan said, "The antidote was taken from my private storeroom by Jinse, not from the Imperial Hospital. I was worried that taking the medicine directly from the Imperial Hospital would attract attention, so I chose this method to avoid alerting them."
As Su Nuannuan spoke, she carefully brought the brewed medicine to the Emperor's lips, gently blew away the heat, and then slowly fed it into the Emperor's mouth.
Seeing how attentively Su Nuannuan cared for the Emperor, the Empress couldn't help but feel more admiration for her. She nodded and said, "You did the right thing. It seems the head of the Imperial Medical Academy is indeed problematic; I trusted them too much."
Although the Empress's tone was calm, it revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment.
Then, the Empress turned to look at Canglan Jingyao and asked, "Jianping, when will His Majesty wake up?"
Canglan Jingyao quickly bowed and replied, "Replying to Mother, Father needs to take the antidote three times, with each time two hours apart. After taking all three antidotes, Father will be able to wake up."
After listening, the Empress pondered for a moment and then said, "In that case, His Majesty should wake up in the middle of the night."
