Chapter 190 How Many Women Does the Emperor Have
After waiting for another hour, it was already dark.
When it was time to light the lamps, the eunuch asked the old emperor if he wanted dinner.
The old emperor said, "Send it."
After a while, his meal came up.
There are both meat and vegetables, color, flavor and flavor.
But the old emperor had no appetite at all.
Doctor Fang and Li Yujiao haven't come back yet.
The eunuch beside the old emperor was called Huang Xiangfu. Huang Xiangfu saw what the old emperor was thinking, and he couldn't help but comfort the old emperor:
"Your Majesty, there are many miracle doctors in the world. If Doctor Fang is not good enough, then we can invite another one. There will always be one who can help Your Majesty. Besides, Doctor Fang is only famous among the people. We don't know if he is actually a miracle doctor. I'm afraid he is just in name only.
And that Madam Jing, she is just an ordinary woman. Your Majesty, you have also checked her background. She is just an ordinary village woman who can't even read. How can she know any medical skills?"
The old emperor asked Huang Xiangfu, "You mean, they are willing to come to the palace to treat me, even if it means they are guilty of deceiving the emperor?"
Huang Xiangfu knelt down quickly and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that they may have some medical skills, but they are not good enough to help your majesty."
After hearing this, the old emperor felt a little relieved.
Then the guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Fang and Madam Jing want to see you."
When the old emperor heard this, he immediately became excited and said, "Please come in!"
Huang Xiangfu quickly congratulated the old emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems that Doctor Fang and Madam Jing are not quacks. They are truly miracle doctors."
The old emperor glared at Huang Xiangfu and said, "You old man who changes his mind according to the situation!"
Huang Xiangfu smiled embarrassedly.
Not long after, Doctor Fang and Li Yujiao came in.
The two of them saluted, and Doctor Fang explained, "Your Majesty, Madam Jing and I went back and carefully examined the Blood Rainbow Fruit. Because we were unsure at the moment, we studied it for a long time and finally confirmed that it was the Blood Rainbow Fruit."
The old emperor was overjoyed: "Can the Blood Rainbow Fruit cure my illness?"
"The Blood Rainbow Fruit can invigorate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, and it is better than bezoar." Doctor Fang said, "But the Blood Rainbow Fruit must be combined with other medicinal materials. If you take it for half a month, it will have a miraculous effect!"
After hearing this, the old emperor became even happier.
The old emperor said: "If it works wonders, I will reward you handsomely."
Then he asked, "Have you two had dinner?"
Doctor Fang and Li Yujiao both shook their heads. They were in such a hurry, how could they have time to eat?
The old emperor could not help but say to Huang Xiangfu: "Send two more dinners over for Doctor Fang and Madam Jing!"
Li Yujiao finally ate the food in the palace, and she ate it at the emperor's place.
It’s worthy of being made by the imperial chef, it tastes much better than the food at Qingfenglou.
You can even eat crystal clear shark fins, but only in a few bites.
Then Li Yujiao looked at the old emperor's meal again and saw that the braised pork in front of him was very greasy. She couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, please allow me to boldly remind you that while you are taking the medicine, it is best to eat less pork. You can replace it with beef, chicken breast or fish."
After hearing this, the old emperor gave the dish of braised pork to Li Yujiao without saying a word.
Li Yujiao: …
Well, she is young, healthy and enjoys everything she eats.
……
After coming out of the palace, Li Yujiao met a man in his twenties at the gate of the palace.
The man had fair skin and a slender figure, and was very handsome.
Huang Xiangfu, who escorted them out, called out, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
It turned out to be the eldest prince!
Li Yujiao and Doctor Fang also quickly followed suit and saluted.
The eldest prince glanced at Li Yujiao and Doctor Fang and asked Huang Xiangfu, "Who are these two?"
Huang Xiangfu said: "These two are Madam Jing and Doctor Fang."
"Did they come to the palace to see the emperor?"
"Yes."
The eldest prince said nothing, but said to Huang Xiangfu: "I have something to ask my father, please go in and inform him."
……
After leaving the palace, Jing Qishan stood guard at the door again.
It was already completely dark at this time. Li Yujiao couldn't help being moved when she saw his figure.
Jing Qishan came to pick her up and asked her as soon as he saw her: "Are you hungry?"
After all, this is the palace gate, and there are countless eyes staring at him, so he can only ask these questions.
Li Yujiao touched her stomach and said, "I'm too full."
The emperor rewarded her with all the greasy dishes. How could she not feel full?
When Jing Qishan heard her say that she was full, he knew that she was doing well in the palace.
Then the couple said goodbye to Doctor Fang.
Doctor Fang has many good friends in the capital who are waiting for him to visit and reminisce about the past, so he can no longer stay at Jing Qishan's house.
When they got home, Jing Qishan asked Li Yujiao, "How is the emperor's condition?"
In the winter of the previous life, the old emperor passed away.
Li Yujiao said: "He is mainly old, doesn't like to move, and has a richer diet, which caused the blood vessels to be blocked. As long as they are unblocked, he will be fine."
"Your Majesty, can you survive this winter?" Jing Qishan asked.
"Theoretically, no, but Doctor Fang said that with the Blood Rainbow Fruit and some medicinal herbs, you can eat it for a period of time. At least you can live a few more years."
Jing Qishan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
Li Yujiao happened to see it, and she smiled: "Husband can't bear to leave His Majesty?"
Yes, he was appointed by the old emperor. If the old emperor passed away, he didn't know how long he could stay in this position.
With all the party struggles in the court, it is hard to say whether he can survive.
Jing Qishan hugged Li Yujiao and said honestly, "I can't bear to let her go. Your Majesty has been very kind to me."
At the same time, Li Yujiao also hugged him tightly.
The book says that he came to Beijing at the order of the Empress Dowager, and he did not have much interaction with the old emperor.
The Empress Dowager summoned him to the capital out of selfish motives, treating him as a weapon, but the old emperor truly valued him.
So she also hoped that the old emperor could live longer.
Li Yujiao suddenly thought of the eldest prince she met when she came out of the emperor's palace.
"My dear husband, I saw the eldest prince today. The emperor is over sixty, why is the eldest prince only in his twenties?"
Jing Qishan said, "Your Majesty's previous children were either princesses or princes who died young. He was over 40 years old when he finally had a healthy prince. It is said that the prince's mother was not favored at the time and was not noticed by others, so he was saved."
Li Yujiao thought of the palace fighting drama and she couldn't help but shudder.
"Does he have many concubines?"
"The emperor is so old, so of course he has a lot of things. So many that I'm afraid he can't even remember them."
"Then why did he marry such a young queen?"
"It's not necessarily the girl he wants to marry. She could be a girl from a powerful official's family, sent here to consolidate the family's position."
"The emperor is so old, and he still has so many women. He doesn't know how to exercise restraint. No wonder he is in poor health."
Jing Qishan quickly blocked her mouth: "My lady, don't say these things carelessly, be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall."
"I know. I don't say anything outside. I just complain about it at home."
"My wife is such a gossip."
