When she saw that Old Emperor had woken up, she thought that her eyes had gone blurry and that she had been hallucinating. After all, the Old Emperor's pulse had not changed much previously.
”Your majesty?” She rubbed her eyes and confirmed that Old Emperor had opened her eyes.
Old Emperor had just woken up. Although Wei Qing had concentrated the poison in his body somewhere, the poison in his body did not resolve itself. Instead, her face was abnormally pale white.
”Wei...” ”Blue.”
With these two words, Old Emperor used up almost all of his energy, his voice was like a mosquito's buzz.
Wei Qing immediately pulled Old Emperor's wrist, and carefully checked his pulse, exhaling a small breath of air.
”Your Majesty, you have just awoken. Don't say anything for now.”
Wei Qing felt that this poison must also be the kind that could damage the central nervous system of a person.
These few days, she had been using the silver needles and Hundred Poison Pill s to force the poison to her arm. Although it seemed like her meridians did not have much of a change, the poison in her brain had already been forced to her wrist, which was why Old Emperor woke up.
Old Emperor nodded.
Wei Qing poured some water for him and was about to go up to tell the empress dowager, but she was stopped by the Old Emperor.
”Wei Qing, tell us, what's the situation outside?”
He always knew that Xiao Hanqi's thoughts were not right, and all these years, the relationship between Xiao Qingqian and himself was getting worse and worse.
Wei Qing did not want to hide this from Old Emperor. After all, as long as Old Emperor was standing in front of him alive and well, Xiao Hanqi would definitely not make any other unusual moves.
Then, when Old Emperor heard about the situation outside, he made a decision that caused Wei Qing to be a little stunned.
”Your Majesty, if you leave now, then everything will be peaceful again.”
Old Emperor raised his greenish black hand that was covered in poison, ”You also said that the poison in our body was not resolved at all, and was only forced onto our arms by you.”
Wei Qing went silent, and instantly understood what the Old Emperor was thinking.
”This humble one recklessly made my decision.”
”The reason why I want you to help me hide this from everyone is because I want to see how this group of people can be tortured!”
Old Emperor was too angry. When he said those words, he was panting, and his face was flushed red from anger.
Wei Qing advised Old Emperor while patting his back.
Waiting until Old Emperor was finally able to breathe again, Wei Qing said: ”Your majesty, although there are some risks, in order to prevent the poison from spreading to my brain along with my blood, I have the guts to use silver needles to seal a portion of your acupuncture points, I hope your majesty can understand.”
Old Emperor coughed a few times, ”We will not blame you!”
He recalled that he had drank the tonifying soup that the Queen sent over for him for a few days, which was why he looked like this.
He would definitely remember this debt for the empress.
After warning Wei Qing a little, Old Emperor was really too tired, so he fell asleep again.
Wei Qing anxiously rummaged through the medical books. If nothing happened at the border, inviting the smelly old man back to the capital would reduce her pressure.
At the moment, the subGu inside Xiao Qingqian's body was not sure if it would still cause more trouble, and the poison in Old Emperor was not sure if there was any way to cure it completely.
Wei Qing rubbed her forehead, letting out a heavy sigh.
Even though the empress dowager was old, she had lived in the harem for so many years. The fact that she was able to sit in her current position and protect the Old Emperor so well showed just how severe her methods were.
