Chapter 1070 You Have An Illness, I have Medicine

　　Feng Yuheng highly agreed with the Emperor’s decision, she said: “Yes, they need to be given the most tragic ending. But Father Emperor, if you do not allow me and Grandfather to treat your injuries, you yourself will end up with the most tragic ending.”

　　“Us? What painful situation are We having?” The Emperor shook his head, “It’s not tragic, not tragic, We have made mistakes, so We must accept punishment. That thing is too disgusting, We do not want it anymore, both of you do not have to worry about this again, We have already made up our minds, and it will not change.”

　　Feng Yuheng felt a little exasperated and glanced at Yao Xian, giving Yao Xian a signal that he should speak. After all, as the daughter-in-law, she would feel a little awkward talking about such a thing to an old man, so Yao Xian continued the topic, telling the Emperor: “Doesn’t your Da Shun have such a rule, people who self-mutilate their body or cut off their own limbs would not be able to enter the imperial ancestral tomb. Do you plan to have your body abandoned in the wild after your death? Do you not want to see Da Shun’s ancestors anymore?”

　　“How can We not want that!” Once the Emperor heard that, he became a little anxious, “Does Da Shun really have this rule?”

　　“Whether there is such a rule or not, you know it very well, so, do you want me to get the law text for you to read?”

　　“No need, no need.” The old Emperor waved his hand repeatedly, “We remember, there is such a rule. Damn it, We can’t not enter the ancestral grave!” He was very troubled, looking at the box in Feng Yuheng’s hands, he still looked disgusted, but was no longer as stubborn about it compared to before, he only asked the two people in front of him: “But what We did during this period was really too sinful, what should We do?”

　　“If a mistake was made, then just change for the better!” Feng Yuheng told him: “The good thing is that no huge error had been made yet, the Eighth Prince is not a crown prince yet, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui is only an Imperial Concubine Gui. It’s just that the palace guards in the imperial palace and Sixth Brother’s 30,000 soldiers from the Northeastern Army were taken by you and given to the Eighth Prince, you just have to get them back and things would be settled. As for my Imperial Concubine Mother…… Father Emperor, Ah-Heng will not be of much help with this, you have to depend on yourself. But you do not have to place too much emphasis on the matter with Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui. After all, she is a concubine of the harem in the first place and is your woman, and the both of you even had a son together many years earlier, now it is only the rekindling of old love, it’s nothing much.” She might say that, but in reality, it was just to open up the Emperor’s heart. In fact, Feng Yuheng disliked this matter quite a lot. Whether men went astray physically or mentally, she felt it was disgusting. Based on her conscience, if it was Xuan Tianming instead, she might not forgive him at all. But right now she was facing the Emperor, the ruler of the country, how else could she advise him? This nation still had to be supported by him, she needed to make his old Emperor regain his spirits, and not be in half dead state like now.

　　Yao Xian watched the old Emperor, saying again: “Quickly, if we wait any longer, it will really be impossible to attach it. You can just say it directly, attach it, or not attach it? If you truly do not want to attach it, me and Ah-Heng will not spend the effort to do so, if you want to become a Eunuch instead of a proper Emperor, I will not stop you, then you can be grouped together with your Xiao Yuan Zhi, both of you will be people who do not have any ‘stick’, and neither one is more noble than the other.”

　　Yao Xian was blunter when he spoke and did not have a good temperament, the Emperor was so angry that his beard fluttered and he glared, but he also knew that even though Yao Xian’s words sounded bad, it was the truth. Therefore he nodded, he said with an expression of defeat: “Attach it! Attach it! At most, We will not look at it in the future, not look at it, and not use it. After that, We will go to Pianpian and kneel until she is willing to forgive Us.”

　　The old Emperor spoke his opinion, Feng Yuheng and Yao Xian finally felt relieved. Feng Yuheng passed that box to Yao Xian to hold, reaching into her sleeve, taking anesthesia out of the Space, with one injection, the Emperor lost consciousness.

　　She took the two into her Space, then moved the Emperor to the operating theatre. She was a master in chinese and western medicine and was much more skilled in surgeries compared to Yao Xian, so naturally Feng Yuheng would be the main surgeon in this operation. After the required preparations were made, she told Yao Xian: “Quite a long time had passed, even if it’s attached, it might not be that functional, I can only try my best.”

　　Yao Xian nodded: “With his age, having it as a decoration is already rather good, you still hope for him to be able to use it again?”

　　After thinking about it, that made sense, Imperial Concubine Yun would definitely not accept the Emperor via this method again, so attaching this thing was really just a decoration. Without any mental pressure, the operation progressed much more smoothly, and less than two hours using the time of the future era, they completed the whole operation. After that, Feng Yuheng flushed out the Emperor’s stomach, cleaning out all the vomit residue left in his stomach, flushing out a few more small snakes.

　　Yao Xian looked at those few small snakes and was very interested. Unfortunately, the snakes were dead and no longer had any research value, he lamented the loss.

　　Finally, the two moved the Emperor out of the Space and originally wanted to put him back on the dragon bed, but thinking about it again, the dragon bed had always been used by the Emperor to *** with Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, and they were worried that the old Emperor would cause a fuss after waking up, so they called for the palace staff outside, carrying the Emperor to the side hall to rest, with the two of them following to provide care. After all, the operation had just ended and complications will likely arise once the old Emperor contracted a fever, so Feng Yuheng had to look after him personally to feel reassured.

　　At this side, Feng Yuheng and Yao Xian were treating the Emperor. Outside Zhao He Hall, the Empress also interrogated Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui who left and returned. But Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui pointed the guilt towards Imperial Concubine Li, saying directly: “Imperial Concubine Li has a bracelet, This One had seen her wear that bracelet before, it was a jade green and a Gu was hidden inside.”

　　The Empress did not have much understanding of Gu, but she knew about the abnormalities of such a thing and summoned Imperial Concubine Li over immediately.

　　This night, the commotion at Zhao He Hall was too huge, causing everyone in the harem to wake up, and many concubines and noble ladies were dressed, coming to Zhao He Hall to wait for news.

　　Excluding these concubines and noble ladies, all the princes had also entered the palace, and even that Eighth Prince was carried over on a litter.

　　Xuan Tianmo originally did not want to come, but to no avail, the Empress issued a decree for all the princes to enter the imperial palace immediately, so even if his itching symptoms kept flaring up, they had to carry him in, even if it was on a litter.

　　At his moment, Xuan Tianmo felt that he was undergoing the most humiliating disgrace in his life. This kind of humiliation was even stronger than when he almost got beheaded. Because he was constantly itching, his right hand had not been taken out of his pants at all. In front of so many people, in front of so many men and women, he kept scratching, to the point that everyone was looking towards him, not knowing the reason, disdain on their faces.

　　The Empress finally could not tolerate seeing this, telling Zhang Yuan: “Go ask Princess Yu if there is anything which can temporarily stop the itch and stop him from making a fool of himself here, This One still has to ask questions!”

　　Zhang Yuan nodded and quickly looked for Feng Yuheng. When he returned, he was holding a box of ointment and spoke to the Empress: “Princess Yu said, after applying this, the effectiveness is 2 hours, and asked Your Highness the Empress to be quick when interrogating, she will not give any more medicine after 2 hours.”

　　The Empress made a sound of acknowledgement and signalled for Zhang Yuan to apply the medicine on the Eighth Prince. Of course, Zhang Yuan was reluctant to do such a task, so he walked up to the Eighth Prince, throwing the ointment on him, saying loudly: “Apply it yourself!”

　　Xuan Tianmo was so angry that he wanted to strangle this Eunuch, but right now, why would he care about that, once he heard that this ointment was given by Feng Yuheng, he knew that it would definitely be effective, therefore without any hesitation, he picked it up, opened the lid and took out a huge amount, then pulling his pants with one hand, his other hand kept applying on his lower body with all his might, and a short while later, he used up the whole small box of ointment.

　　At this moment, he heard Zhang Yuan say: “Princess Yu said, this small box of ointment is worth 1000 silver taels, asking Your Highness the Eighth Prince, will you be paying on the spot, or will you send servants to Sheng Palace to get the money?”

　　“What did you say?” Xuan Tianmo’s eyes widened, “Wanting 1000 taels for this insignificant box? Why isn’t she conducting robbery?”

　　“Yo!” Zhang Yuan said with a smile: “This was said by Princess Yu, if the Eighth Prince has any doubts, please ask Princess Yu. Or, His Highness Prince Yu is here as well, you can ask him as well. Also, Princess Yu said, if Your Highness the Eighth Prince is willing to pay the silver, she still has such medicine with her!”

　　Once he heard this, Xuan Tianmo understood, Feng Yuheng was extorting him, he had an illness, she had medicine, as long as he was willing to pay, she wold have medicine. 1000 taels for a small box, and it will only be effective for two hours with one use, if he wanted to stop itching for a whole day, then how much silver did he have to spend?

　　However, once he thought about his own itching symptoms, Xuan Tianmo still gritted his teeth in the end and nodded, then taking out a jade plaque from his waist area, he threw it to Zhang Yuan, saying: “Go to Sheng Palace and take out 10,000 taels of sliver, use it all to buy the medicine! Quickly!” He roared, and when he saw Zhang Yuan pass the jade plaque to a lower ranked Eunuch, he exhaled deeply. But very quickly, he broke down, “Damn it! I applied the medicine and spent the silver, why is it that not only did the itching not stop, but became more serious than before?” He kept groaning in agony and did not even have the energy to maintain his image, and as he squirmed, he fell off the litter, rolling on the ground.

　　Seeing her own son become like this, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui became anxious, she asked Zhang Yuan: “What happened? Didn’t you say that the medicine would remove the sickness?”

　　Zhang Yuan let out a “Yo”, “Your Highness Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, This Servant did not say that the medicine would remove the sickness, it’s just that Princess Yu said this medicine is effective, so This Servant brought it over! How about this! This Servant will ask again.” Saying this, he quickly returned to the side hall where Feng Yuheng was at.

　　Outside, Xuan Tianmo’s ghost-like wails and wolf like howls resounded throughout the whole imperial palace. Watching the person who was one step away from ascending to the crown prince’s seat, the concubines and noble ladies felt emotional. They only thought that the situation in the imperial palace really changed many times in an instant! They had thought the Eighth Prince would inherit the throne and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui would be the Empress Dowager, and this would not change. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, an explanation that the Emperor was inflicted with a Gu was spread and he had awakened now. This caused them to feel a little surprised and a little worried. Earlier, they had curried favour with Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui. With Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s stage collapsing, would they also get their retribution?

　　Seeing Xuan Tianmo like this, the Empress who had been frowning the whole time only frowned deeper, irritation showing on her face. She told Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui: “It’s best for you to cover his mouth, This One is irritated hearing it.”

　　“You……” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui glared at the Empress directly, saying loudly: “He is in such agony and only shouted a few sentences, how does it disturb you? I’m not covering his mouth!”

　　“If you’re not covering his mouth, then This One will ask the servants to do so.” After saying this, she glanced at the palace staff standing beside her. The palace staff in front of Zhao He Hall all knew how to size up the situation. For the situation tonight, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui had clearly lost power, the Emperor had cleared his mind, if they sided with Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui like before, they might not be able to keep their lives.

　　Therefore, two palace staff rushed forward immediately, acting like they were going to cover Xuan Tianmo’s mouth. Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui could not continue watching and pushed those two away forcefully, saying loudly: “There’s no need for all of you, This One will do it, is that enough?” After saying this, she lunged forward and hugged Xuan Tianmo, speaking in a sorrowful tone: “Mo-er, my Mo-er, you have suffered. Don’t be afraid, don’t shout, someone is unwilling to hear you shout! Imperial Concubine Mother is going to cover your mouth now, we will not irritate others.”

　　After saying this, she reached out to cover Xuan Tianmo’s mouth, but who knew that just as her hand reached next to his mouth, Xuan Tianmo did not hold back at all, and viciously bit down on Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s fingers. They heard Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui scream with an “Ah”. Everyone looked towards them and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s hand was covered in blood. And in Xuan Tianmo’s mouth, he was actually biting on his imperial concubine mother’s two broken fingers!
