Chapter 248 Treating the Empress
Su Yinyin looked at Su Yi and said worriedly, "Brother, I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple."
The Imperial Noble Consort, who faked her death years ago, has suddenly reappeared; there must be enormous interests driving her behind the scenes.
Su Yi thought for a moment and then voiced her thoughts: "Yinyin, do you think this might be related to the struggle for the throne?"
Su Yinyin's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "It's not impossible. If that's the case, why not let Regent Zhou Yuan rebel and declare himself emperor?"
Su Yi (Su Yao) also fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "This...this...! That makes sense."
Su Yinyin said softly, "If we're going to rebel, now's not the time."
The two fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the study became very oppressive, as if even the air had frozen.
After a while, Su Yinyin broke the silence and said, "No matter what, our priority is to protect our family."
Su Yi (Su Yao) nodded and said, "Yes, your brother is here. Don't be too tense."
Su Yinyin and Su Yi exchanged a glance, both seeing a bad premonition in each other's eyes.
“Brother, we should investigate everything about the Dowager Consort thoroughly,” Su Yinyin said.
Su Yi said, "I'll go arrange the manpower right away."
Just then, a subordinate rushed over, looking flustered, and said, "My lord, something terrible has happened! The manor's account books have been tampered with."
Su Yinyin said, "Brother, this ledger is also an important clue. Let's see where the funds are flowing."
Su Yi (Su Yao) reminded him, "Leave this to me. It's getting late, you go and do your thing."
Su Yinyin glanced at the sky and remembered that she would be entering the palace later as a divine physician to treat the Empress.
After leaving the Marquis's residence, Su Yinyin went straight back to the Su residence.
Upon returning to the villa, she immediately closed the door and entered her own private space.
Taking advantage of the unique convenience of the space, I gave myself a comfortable bath.
Prepare the medicines you will need tonight carefully.
Inside a luxurious villa, a stunningly beautiful woman was wreaking havoc, her expression suggesting she wanted to devour everything around her.
"What a bunch of useless trash. I finally managed to get them out of the palace, and that bitch Su Yinyin managed to escape with her life."
The woman's eyes were sinister and filled with ruthlessness; her gaze seemed capable of killing without a trace.
The subordinates beside him were all trembling with fear, not daring to lift their heads.
“Master, please calm down. We don’t know what tricks Su Yinyin has used, but she has managed to escape our schemes time and time again. However, we still have a backup plan,” a subordinate said cautiously, his voice trembling.
The woman snorted coldly, her voice as chilling as a winter wind: "A backup plan? If you fail again, you'll all come back with your heads!"
The subordinate quickly replied, "Yes, Master."
The beautiful woman said, "That slut doesn't deserve to bear Yuan'er's child. Kill the slut's bastard offspring too. Whatever you do, don't let Fei'er know."
"Yes, Master," the subordinate nodded repeatedly.
The beautiful woman asked, "When will Fei'er arrive in the capital?" Her expression softened whenever she mentioned Fei'er.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will arrive the day after tomorrow."
The beautiful woman instructed, "Before Fei'er arrives in the capital, make sure everything is cleaned up. If you fail to do so, you will all come back with your heads."
At this moment, Su Yinyin had already tidied up the space.
Su Yinyin brought Lao Yi to the Divine Doctor Pavilion.
After carefully dressing up, Su Yinyin, accompanied by the head of the Divine Physician Pavilion, boarded a carriage and entered the palace.
She sat in the carriage, her mind racing. She thought about all the events that had occurred in the Marquis's mansion, and the cunning schemes of the seemingly unassuming Empress Dowager.
Upon arriving at the palace, Su Yinyin was quickly led into the Empress's bedroom.
The emperor knew that the divine physician had entered the palace, and he waited for him in the empress's palace early in the morning.
After Su Yinyin bowed to the emperor.
He turned and walked to the Empress's bedside. The Empress was as pale as paper, lying weakly on the bed, and the palace maids around her were all tense and dared not breathe.
Although Su Yinyin already knew about the Empress's illness.
But at this moment, Su Yinyin still carefully observed the Empress's complexion and took the Empress's pulse again.
The emperor, standing nearby, asked anxiously, "Divine Physician, what is the Empress's condition?"
Su Yinyin frowned slightly and said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, the Empress has been poisoned by Gu and cursed."
Upon hearing this, the emperor was instantly enraged and roared, "What? Poisoning and curses? Who is so audacious as to dare to lay such a hand on the Empress!"
Su Yinyin quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will do my best to detoxify the Empress and remove the curse. However, this process may take some time, so please be patient."
The emperor's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Su Yinyin and said, "Divine Physician, I hope you will heal the Empress."
Su Yinyin's heart skipped a beat, but she still said firmly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost to fulfill my mission."
Just then, the Empress suddenly coughed violently, then vomited a mouthful of black blood. The palace maids were terrified, and screams filled the air.
Su Yinyin quickly stepped forward to check, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Gu poison in the Empress's body has started to take effect. We must prepare a medicinal bath immediately."
The emperor immediately ordered: "Get ready!"
After a flurry of activity, the Empress was carefully placed in a medicinal bath. Su Yinyin stood guard by her side, her eyes fixed intently on the Empress's condition.
Meanwhile, in a house outside the palace, the beautiful woman learned that Su Yinyin was treating the Empress, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Hmph, this so-called divine physician does have some skill. However, I wonder if he can cure the Empress's poison and curse,"
Meanwhile, in the Empress's palace, thanks to Su Yinyin's tireless efforts, the Empress's condition finally stabilized.
Su Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Empress is out of danger for now, but she still needs careful recuperation."
The emperor's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Thank you for your hard work, divine physician. If the empress recovers, I will reward you handsomely."
After Su Yinyin expressed her gratitude, she was about to leave when the emperor called her back.
"Divine Physician, I find this matter quite suspicious. Who do you think is the mastermind behind it all?"
Su Yinyin's heart skipped a beat, and the Imperial Noble Consort instantly came to mind, but she dared not speak rashly, and only said: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs further investigation, and I dare not speak presumptuously."
The emperor nodded thoughtfully and said, "Hmm, you may leave now."
After leaving the Empress's palace, Su Yinyin secretly pondered that the situation ahead would likely become even more complex, filled with unknowns and challenges.
