Chapter 31: Strange Illness (Part 1)

The imperial palace was extremely luxurious

The old man emperor lived in a main hall that was resplendent without littered…the dragon pearls ee, and really made a person drool with envy

The co, but he sure kne to enjoy hih that had stopped now

A fine vermillion canopy screened a bed fro their fangs and claws A hazy form could be seen within, acco for breath

He sounded very uncomfortable…

For a person confined to bed with a weak body, it was iauze in the ouldn’t it only exacerbate his sickness?

“Your servant pays respects to His Ihness”

The sudden voice frightenedHua’sfroyu catch my eye with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile

Strange, he was here too

His s Even if the servants had forgotten to open the s and draw the screens, he should re the matter any attention now?

Han Zichuan swept his robes, filled with the i air of a crown prince “Rise How is father’s illness?”

“After a s before losing consciousness Now that Lord Fang Hua’s come to personally treat hiyu’sexpression was one of sincerity, his sleeves spread open in a bow His figure was infused with ceremony and propriety the whole time he led us to the monarch’s bed

A servant lifted aside the bed-curtains Inside was a roughly 40 to 50-year-oldon the bed His face was deathly pale, yet his lips were a blackish red, and the space between his eyebrows seeinal eyebrows, they were already gone

This was the current e…

I gave a glance and noticed that Fang Hua had already pulled up his sleeves to lift aside the bedcovers He didn’t take a pulse, but just pressed on the body in randonosis

An indistinct sound rose as a torrent fro Hua knitted his brows and didn’t er shook impatiently two or three tiht…

My head lowered to look within the pouch and its varying sizes of acupuncture needles Which one did he want?

As it turned out, he lost patience waiting and slowly turned to give ersand take out a handful of needles There were thick ones and thin ones, long ones and short ones Their silvery light glinted back and forth in his hands as he poked the e all caution to the winds, the needles swooped down…until every single point had a needle in place

I was silent…

Nongyu looked as if he hadn’t processed everything yet, and Han Zichuan was completely floored

In the beginning, the eic Although the emperor had snatched resources fro Hua had now pricked hi went, ‘no matter who you offend, never offend a doctor’

Fang Hua sat down and waited for a while Han Zichuan and Nongyu must have had plenty of faith in his ivings Instead, both retreated to the sides to talk about state affairs or the price by weight of redients

My head drooped as I held the cloth bag in my arms, bored into drowsiness Suddenly, a sleeve flashed beforeHua extend his hand, war out the needles

The silver needles had flashed when they were stabbed in and still gleaes in color

Remarkable

Just by looking at the emperor’s face, he was definitely poisoned…but there was no way to scope out the source I heldHua brushed lance While I was trying to puzzle hiers

Goodness…

The shi+ny needle i one a sense of dread

“This poison is very odd and hard to perceive The needles I stuck inside…ed colors I’ans”

“Is there any possibility of a cure?” Han Zichuan’s face sank as he hurried over

“I’ll write a prescription first to temporarily restrain the poison The rest will be left for afterward” Fang Hua turned his glance towardssome ink from the inkstick

He raised his sleeves without a second thought, writing words with a brush like floating clouds and floater[1] as he recorded the nahts I cast a sidelong glance and saw that it was a ly call it a yu

Nongyu took the for for the eunuchs to bring over the stove

This guy…

He really was lazy, insisting onhis inferiors labor before hihtly heldhis head Then he lowered his head and went about his own business, drinking tea Han Zichuan stared at aze towards Fang Hua, and sat down on a chair to play with a ring on his finger[2]

Two or three eunuchs carefully followed the foryu directed them from the sides and frequently jumped in to do the job hih I suddenly caught a gli his sleeve I looked down and fell silent

A decoction offor around four hours, enough to fillthe bowls had to drink first, then the imperial physicians, before it reached the e a rebirth elixir[3], their eyebrows knitted as they held their bohile shaking in fear I really wanted to laugh…

They were a bunch of fools The good fortune they’d cultivated in former lives allowed them this chance to drink such a treasured ht poisons fro the body for half a year

I pursedmyself a bowl Abruptly, I felt a heated stare at , before lifting a bowl to take a whiff…before my eyebrows knitted and I took a sip
