WLAEF 118




Chapter 118

The carriage drove through the long alleyway. Shen Feng Ming trio got off the horse or carriage. From here, they could only walk to the Empress Dowager's living quarters.

Shen Feng Ming led the way and the three continued to move forward.

They walked through the promenade and the gazebo and almost to the empress dowager's living quarters.

At this time, a hoarse female voice sounded. "Elder Cousin Brother!"

Immediately, Xiao Li Yu appeared from the side with the palace servants and blocked the three’s path.

Shen Feng Ming frowned slightly.

His displeased expression deeply hurt Xiao Li Yu. Could it be that he even hated seeing her? Or… She turned to look at Jiang Yun Zhu. Yesterday, she sent someone to find out everything.

Jiang Yun Zhu, the owner of Shiguang Private Restaurant.

A female cook. How could she be able to win Shen Feng Ming's liking!

She looked beautiful? She was very beautiful. But there was no shortage of beautiful misses in the capital. Even Xiao Li Yu felt that she was no worse than Jiang Yun Zhu in appearance.

She cooked delicious food? Even more ridiculous. She never heard of anyone falling in love with a cook because the cook's food was delicious. At most, it would be inviting her home to cook.

Then what else could this woman in front of her use to bewitch Shen Feng Ming?

Xiao Li Yu couldn't see it. Nor was she willing to believe that Shen Feng Ming liked Jiang Yun Zhu.

She stared at Jiang Yun Zhu, as if she wanted to dig out a few holes in her body.

At this time, a figure blocked her view. It was Shen Feng Ming.

"Princess, I have matters to attend to. Please get out of the way." He said.

His obvious protective action toward Jiang Yun Zhu made Xiao Li Yu's heart feel cold and her fury surged even more, "What if I don't get out of the way! Who are these two people next to you? Why aren't you kneeling down when you see this princess!"

Old Mister Wu went to the palace before, so Xiao Li Yu recognized him. Now she wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Yun Zhu. That’s why Old Mister Wu was implicated.

Old Mister Wu wasn't good-tempered either. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Kneel? When the emperor comes, see if I would kneel? Let alone you, a princess."

He wasn't talking big. Last year, when he entered the palace, he met Emperor Qinglong and was standing, not kneeling.

Emperor Qinglong knew that he had a weird temper. He wasn't afraid of death. He self proclaimed to be a wise king. If because of these minor matters and he couldn't tolerate Celestial Doctor Wu, it would seem he had no awareness of the limit. Besides, he wasn't young anymore and often had some minor problems. He didn't want to be like Cao Cao, who killed Hua Tuo and had no one who could heal his illness.

What's more, Celestial Doctor Wu had already taken up the word ‘Celestial’. He wasn't an ordinary person.

Emperor Qinglong laughed it off.

On the contrary, this helped Emperor Qinglong's reputation and it became a good story. Many people knew about it.

Xiao Li Yu knew about this. Being retorted by old Mister Wu instantly, her expression wasn't very good. She didn't want to get angry with him. She directly pointed the finger at Jiang Yun Zhu, "Why isn't she kneeling?"

Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to kneel, but was held back by Shen Feng Ming and unable to move.

"Princess, we are in a hurry. If the etiquette isn't proper, please be magnanimous" Shen Feng Ming said, pulling Jiang Yun Zhu and heading forward.

"You! What do you want to do." Xiao Li Yu was forced to take two steps back.

"We have urgent matters, Have to go to the Cining Palace." Shen Feng Ming's voice was captivating.

Xiao Li Yu subconsciously took another step back to make way.

Suddenly, she realized why she should give way to them? She was the Princess of the Xia Dynasty! What did that Jiang Yun Zhu amount to? She was just a civilian girl!

"Someone come." She shouted loudly.

In a swoosh, dozens of guards immediately gathered around.

"This unscrupulous commoner was rude to this princess. Capture her at once." Xiao Li Yu pointed to Jiang Yun Zhu and declared.

At this point, how could Jiang Yun Zhu not understand that she was targeting her.

Those guards immediately surrounded Shen Feng Ming trio.

Shen Feng Ming showed no fear on his face. He protected Jiang Yun Zhu behind him and glanced at everyone, "I brought this person in. I would report the situation to the emperor personally."

All the guards recognized him. They stopped immediately and looked at each other. What should they do now?

Rush forward? Then there would be a conflict with Shen Feng Ming. They have to weigh in, whether they could do it.

Back off? The Princess was watching.

The more Shen Feng Ming defended Jiang Yun Zhu, the more he proved that Jiang Yun Zhu was different. At this moment, Xiao Li Yu almost fainted from anger.

"Capture her for me. Didn't you hear me! Capture her." She shouted.

The guards wanted to step forward, but they seemed a little hesitant.

At this time, there was chaos at the Cining Palace. Some palace staff hurriedly ran around.

Some people went to call the royal physician, while others went to inform the emperor.

Not long ago, the Empress Dowager was drinking tea in the palace when she suddenly passed out and became unconscious.

The Empress Dowager wasn't in good health. There was a royal physician who stayed in the palace all year round. After the incident, Royal Physician Zheng immediately diagnosed Empress Dowager to treat her. However, he was so frightened that he was out of his wits. The Empress Dowager had a stroke.

"Hurry up, report to the emperor quickly. Then invite Royal Physician Chu to come." Royal Physician Zheng stated with cold hands and feet.

Royal Physician Chu was the royal physician with the best medical skills in the royal hospital.

Seeing that he was so frightened, the servants immediately knew that the situation wasn't good and immediately became flustered.

Attendant Qi was a long time senior who served the empress dowager and was loyal to the empress dowager. At this moment, she was so anxious that she couldn't care about anything else. She asked royal Physician Zheng, "How is the empress dowager?"

Royal Physician Zheng didn't want to say it at first, but Attendant Qi became heartless. Only then Royal Physician Zheng muttered, "It seems to be a stroke."

"Stroke..." Attendant Qi felt that her vision was going black and the world was spinning. At this age, Empress Dowager got this disease. It was almost...

She fell limply to the ground.

Emperor Qinglong soon got the news and came to the Cining Palace.

Seeing the empress dowager lying on the ground, he was furious. What bold slaves, they didn't take the empress dowager or him seriously.

At this time, royal Physician Zheng said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, calm down. The Empress Dowager seems to have suffered a stroke. Before we understand the condition, it is best not to move, lest to aggravate the condition."

After Emperor Qinglong heard this, his anger didn't diminish! Suffered a stroke! The Empress Dowager suffered a stroke! How did these people serve her? They all deserve death!

All the people in Cining Palace fell to their knees, not daring to exhale loudly, for fear that the emperor would execute them all in his wrath.

"Still not treating the Empress Dowager!" Fortunately, Emperor Qinglong didn't have time to deal with them. He pressured Royal Physician Zheng.

"The empress dowager has a noble phoenix body and her illness came too quickly. The small official's medical skills aren't good. I'm afraid of mistreating the empress dowager's illness. It's better to wait for Royal Physician Chu to come and check empress dowager..."

"Trash." Emperor Qinglong kicked him down and said angrily.

Royal Physician Zheng trembled and dared not argue.

At this moment, Royal Physician Chu came. Seeing such a scene, he cried out inwardly. But when he thought of seeing that person just now, his heart settled down again.

He wanted to bow to Emperor Qinglong.

"Quickly treat the Empress Dowager. If it doesn't work, I want your life!" Emperor Qinglong ushered.

Physician Chu quickly went to treat the Empress Dowager. His medical skills were superb and he knew that the Empress Dowager's disease was very dangerous as soon as he checked the pulse. He couldn’t cure it!

"Reporting to the emperor, the empress dowager's illness, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." Royal Physician Chu stated. Before Emperor Qinglong got angry, he continued, "I'm afraid only Celestial Doctor Wu can cure it."

Emperor Qinglong came from the Zhengde Hall and didn't see the scene where Shen Feng Ming trio were surrounded. Hearing this, he was so furious that he wanted to kill people. Celestial Doctor Wu, it was unknown where he was. When he arrive, the Empress Dowager would already...

"Your Majesty, when I came over, I saw that Celestial Doctor Wu was at the Shuiyue Pavilion. A team of guards looked like they were capturing him." Royal Physician Chu explained.

Emperor Qinglong was very surprised. Then he was ecstatic. Celestial Doctor Wu came? Could it be that God helped him? As for the matter of the guards wanting to capture Celestial Doctor Wu? With him watching, who would dare!

"Quickly, invite Celestial Doctor Wu." He said.

"Your Majesty, I want to personally invite him." Attendant Qi said immediately. She knew that Celestial Doctor Wu had a weird personality. She was afraid that the people who went would offend him. If he got mad and refused to treat the empress dowager, it would be bad.

It was better for her to go in person.

Emperor Qinglong nodded. It was still Attendant Qi who was reliable.

"You go and come back quickly."

"Yes."

As Attendant Qi said, she withdrew and walked quickly to Shuiyue Pavilion.

At this side, Shen Feng Ming and the others were confronting each other.

When Attendant Qi saw Celestial Doctor Wu, it was like seeing a celestial Bodhisattva. She walked over and said, "Celestial Doctor Wu, please follow me."

Celestial Doctor Wu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and snorted, "Someone doesn't want to let me go!"

It went without saying he was talking about Xiao Li Yu.

Attendant Qi turned to Xiao Li Yu, " Tenth Princess, what's going on?"

"They are rude to this princess." Xiao Li Yu gritted her teeth.

Celestial Doctor Wu snorted again, looking very angry.

Attendant Qi wished to slap Xiao Li Yu twice. At this time, she was getting on bad terms with Celestial Doctor Wu! That was the equivalent to getting on bad terms with the empress dowager!

She immediately said in a solemn voice, "The empress dowager is seriously ill. The emperor wants to see Celestial Doctor Wu."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback. The empress dowager was seriously ill. It was a big deal.

Thinking back to Shen Feng Ming saying that there was something urgent now, everyone fell to their knees in fright. They had committed a serious crime, preventing Celestial Doctor Wu from treating the Empress Dowager. If the emperor pursued it, their heads wouldn't be enough to chop off.

Xiao Li Yu thought of this and her face turned pale with shock. She didn't expect that what Shen Feng Ming said was true.

Shen Feng Ming was a little surprised. Then he became anxious. He wondered how Empress Dowager's illness was.

Now, he directly led the group to the empress dowager's living quarters.

No one dared to stop them!

Soon, everyone came to the empress dowager's living quarters.

“Old Mister,” Before going in, Jiang Yun Zhu worried about old Mister Wu and called out in a low voice.

"Don't worry." Old Mister Wu waved his hand. For Jiang Yun Zhu, he would heal the empress dowager.

Later, Emperor Qinglong discovered that Celestial Doctor Wu seemed to be easy to talk to today. He even bowed to him when he came in. It was unprecedented before.

He was even more delighted and told Celestial Doctor Wu to get up and quickly treat the Empress Dowager.

Celestial Doctor Wu took the empress dowager's pulse, checked her eyes, and shook his head.

"How is it?" Seeing him like this, Emperor Qinglong became worried again.

Celestial Doctor Wu's eyes subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yun Zhu. The empress dowager's illness was too urgent. She must be stabilized before she could be cured slowly. The medicine he gave her yesterday was useful, but he had already given it to her. Naturally, there was no reason to take it back. That’s why he shook his head.

Realization dawned on Jiang Yun Zhu. She took out the bottle of medicine and handed it to him. The top priority was to save lives!
