Chapter 169 Her Ah Ning is so beautiful
Shen Sangwan was startled and couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Even though it was what she thought, she was still a little scared. Although poppy shells are used as a traditional Chinese medicine, they are not used to kill someone like this. This was clearly an attempt to kill Shen Yuchen.
And he was tortured in every way imaginable, to the point of near death.
“Ah Chen told me before that he was easily angered, irritable, and often depressed. Is it really just because he hasn’t been getting enough rest?”
"Your Highness suspects that something is interfering with His Majesty, such as poison, special spices, or something that is not easily detected in his daily diet."
Seeing that Wen Yuening understood what she meant, Shen Sangwan nodded excitedly, "Now it seems that Achen's symptoms are very obvious and have reached a point where they are difficult to control. The medicine I got from Xiaotong is not working."
Wen Yuening had never seen Shen Yuchen when he was irritable and easily angered, so she dared not make any hasty conclusions. Based on his current state while unconscious, everything seemed fine.
Just as the two were at an impasse, Imperial Physician Li and Fu'an from the Imperial Hospital rushed over.
"Your humble servant greets the Princess and the Empress."
Seeing the two large Buddha statues here, Physician Li felt a little uneasy.
Since the Princess returned to the capital, all sorts of problems have arisen in the palace, leaving him exhausted and unable to get proper rest. He feels as if a sharp sword is hanging over his head, ready to take his life at any moment.
"His Majesty is inside. Imperial Physician Li, go and take a look at him immediately."
"Wei Chen obeys your orders."
Stepping through the door to the outer room, Physician Li let out a long sigh of relief.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the person came out, and his face was no longer as worried as when he arrived.
"how?"
"Your Highness, I have carefully examined His Majesty's pulse and observed that he has been working hard for many days and is mentally exhausted. I urge Your Highness to offer him some words of comfort and reassurance."
This is almost identical to Wen Yuening's previous statement.
"Thank you for making this trip, Physician Li. Fu'an, see Physician Li off."
Now, apart from trusting Wen Yuening's medical skills, Shen Sangwan dares not easily trust anyone else in the Imperial Hospital. After all, she doesn't know if there are other cunning people besides Physician Qin.
After dismissing Physician Li, Shen Sangwan and Wen Yuening sat facing each other.
Seeing that Shen Sangwan was somewhat restless, Wen Yuening reached out and took her hand, calmly comforting her, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry so much. After His Majesty wakes up, I will investigate thoroughly, and then we can think of a solution."
Shen Sangwan wasn't being overly anxious; she was afraid that if the main characters died halfway through the story, she would also be finished.
"Um--"
She gave a perfunctory reply, but Wen Yuening didn't take it to heart. Seeing that she couldn't comfort the other person with words, she got up and looked around the hall, seemingly searching for something.
Seeing this, Shen Sangwan also wanted to help look for it, "What is A-Ning looking for? I can help."
The other party simply waved his hand, indicating that Shen Sangwan should sit there.
"Since Your Highness suspects that something is harming His Majesty, Yue Ning thought it best to see if she could find some clues in this palace."
After carefully examining both the inner and outer halls, they still found nothing.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Before long, Shen Yuchen's cough came from inside. Shen Sangwan almost jumped up from her chair and rushed to the inner hall.
"Sister—?"
Shen Yuchen reverted to his previous demeanor as a young emperor. Looking at the empress following behind him, he assumed that the two of them were there to confront him.
"Ah Chen, are you feeling any better?"
"I was just a little angry, and then I felt tired and sleepy, so I took a nap. Why would you ask that, sister?"
Shen Sangwan saw that Shen Yuchen seemed completely unaware of what had just happened.
A warning bell rang in my heart. "Oh—no...it's nothing. I just heard you were really angry, so I came to check on you. I was worried that you might hurt yourself by getting angry."
Shen Sangwan couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart; she had really done a good job of smoothing things over.
"Why is the Empress here too?"
"Your Majesty, I had come to discuss some matters with you, but it just so happens that Your Highness is here as well."
What do you want to say?
Shen Yuchen slowly got up, supporting himself on the bed. The lingering headache from before was still there, and his temples were throbbing.
He couldn't help but press and rub it.
"Is Your Majesty suffering from a severe headache?"
Shen Yuchen glanced at Shen Sangwan first, and then slowly said, "Your Majesty's medical skills are superb, why don't you take a look at me?"
The atmosphere around the three of them felt somewhat subtle; the unspoken yet clear relationship was driving them crazy.
"Please, Your Majesty, lend a hand."
Wen Yuening moved a stool to sit by the bed and calmly took the other person's pulse again.
"Your Majesty, please take a few deep breaths. I cannot accurately take your pulse if you suddenly feel this unexplained panic."
Shen Yuchen didn't know what was wrong with him. When he saw Shen Sangwan, his heart started pounding wildly, as if he had encountered something exciting.
"I...I'm not flustered at all, Empress, please don't make up stories in front of my elder sister."
Seeing Shen Yuchen stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, Wen Yuening didn't directly expose him. Instead, she kept taking his pulse but didn't actually examine it.
This made Shen Yucheng even more flustered.
I always felt that having too much direct contact with the Empress would make Shen Sangwan unhappy.
Suddenly, before Wen Yue Ning could react, he brushed her hand away and said, "I...I'm fine. I just haven't been getting enough rest lately, and I have a lot of worries about court affairs, so I won't trouble the Empress to examine me."
"???"
Wen Yuening and Shen Sangwan, who was standing to the side, both looked at Shen Yuchen with some confusion.
What's this little emperor up to now?
[Why is it that when you're taking someone's pulse perfectly fine, you suddenly won't let them take it anymore?]
At this moment, Shen Yuchen saw Shen Sangwan's brows gradually furrowing, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
"Is my sister starting to get angry?"
"But I've clearly kept my distance from the Empress, not letting her touch me at all. She shouldn't be angry, right?"
"Oh no, now that my sister has the Empress, I wonder if she'll ever despise me!"
Wen Yue Ning was initially confused when she heard Shen Yu Chen's thoughts, but later she realized that he was just afraid that Shen Sang Wan would misunderstand. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This is too much of a stretch, making things very difficult for her.
Unable to hear Shen Yuchen's thoughts, Shen Sangwan spoke sharply and commandingly to him, "Since you have a headache, why don't you let the Empress take your pulse? Sit down properly and calm yourself down quickly."
"Is my sister just angry that I didn't take her pulse properly?"
After being scolded by Shen Sangwan, Shen Yuchen dared not resist. He obediently sat down, took deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.
After a stalemate lasting about an incense stick's time, Wen Yuening finally took the pulse again to begin taking the patient's pulse.
Shen Sangwan stood to the side of Wen Yuening, looking at the serious-looking Wen Yuening, and felt that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Her daughter, A Ning, is so beautiful!
