Jun Wuyuan's heart sank.
Chang Wei looked as if Ling Shan had contracted an incurable disease.
Not only Jun Wuyuan, but even Liang Jiusi's heart skipped a beat.
Imperial Physician Chang was highly skilled in medicine, upright and straightforward, and would never shield anyone out of favoritism.
Even when the emperor occasionally refused to take advice and suffered from an indescribable hidden disease like hemorrhoids and fistulas, he could speak bluntly without caring about the emperor's face.
So how could he show such a hesitant and solemn expression?
Could it be...
Jun Wuyuan's face darkened bit by bit. For the first time, he forgot about his imperial dignity and directly asked, his voice tinged with a hint of eagerness.
"Shan Shan, how is she?!"
A solemn look flashed across Chang Wei's eyes. He didn't try to be smart. He quickly withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and reported honestly:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is temporarily in good health. However, her pulse condition is very strange. I'm ashamed that I can't determine it for the moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Give me some time and I will surely find out the cause as soon as possible."
Can't find out?
Jun Wuyuan's eyes instantly turned as dark as ink, and a sense of panic and uneasiness welled up in his heart for no reason.
The first thought that came to his mind was that someone had targeted his Shan Shan!
What was it?
Poison?
Or a more mysterious and hidden Gu?
Jun Wuyuan could no longer keep his heart calm. He felt as if he was falling into a sea of fire, suffering.
"Are you sure Shan Shan will be okay?"
Hearing the emperor's slightly trembling voice, Chang Wei's heart skipped a beat.
He had long heard that Concubine Zhao was the only beloved of the cold, cruel and tyrannical emperor, the one he held dearest in his heart. But seeing it up close today, it was far more than that.
This was not something that could be simply summarized by "the only beloved" or "held dearest in the heart".
She clearly occupied his entire heart, as if she had grown into his body!
His mind raced quickly, and he silently raised Concubine Zhao's status even higher and became more cautious in his attitude.
"Your Majesty, I can be sure for now. I will study medical books intensively after I go back today. I will surely do my best to ensure the good health of the imperial concubine."
Jun Wuyuan suppressed the panic in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Don't go back to your mansion. Ask the palace servants to fetch what you need. You will stay in the Shuyi Pavilion in the front hall for the next few days. Put aside other matters for now. I'll give you three days. I want to hear your reply."
Chang Wei's eyelids twitched. He almost jumped up in excitement when he heard the "one day".
Fortunately, the emperor finally showed a bit of humanity and changed his words.
Chang Wei was grateful in his heart and naturally knew how to reciprocate.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I guarantee that there will be no accidents to Concubine Zhao in these three days!"
Jun Wuyuan's deep eyes fell on Ling Shan on the couch. Her almond eyes, which were always bright and clear like a clear spring, were tightly closed at the moment.
He wasn't used to it at all.
Chang Wei and the others retreated, and the palace fell silent all of a sudden.
Jun Wuyuan sat by the couch, reached out and held Ling Shan's palm. It was still soft, but she couldn't hold his hand back.
"Shan Shan..."
Wake up soon.
The unknown fear was the most terrifying and disturbing.
Jun Wuyuan was like this at this moment. It seemed that there was a hole in his chest, and the cold wind rushed in, making him feel a stabbing pain bit by bit.
Jun Wuyuan gently stroked Ling Shan's cheek with his fingers, his eyes fixed on her tenderly without blinking.
If something unbearable really happened because of this strange pulse condition, then he...
Jun Wuyuan's eyes gradually became solemn. The tenderness faded bit by bit, and a hint of selfishness and paranoia that he never showed before appeared in his eyes.
He was a domineering and sinister man.
When he was in the cold palace before, he only wanted to survive. After he ascended the throne, he only wanted to drag everyone down with him.
And later...
Ling Shan was sent to the Taiji Palace by the Queen Mother. Somehow, she stayed by his side, gradually pried open his heart, and stayed for a long time.
Since she had stayed, he would never allow Shan Shan to leave him first.
Even if one day, it really came to an end, they would go together.
Jun Wuyuan's eyes were paranoid, but his fingertips gently stroked Ling Shan's soft cheek, and his eyes were tightly fixed on her eyebrows and eyes.
Shan Shan, I won't allow anyone to take you away from me!
Ling Shan knew before she blacked out that the good opportunity she had been waiting for had come.
The three clans of the Xu family were exterminated, and the nine clans were exiled. The Queen Mother was ill, and all the concubines were taking care of her. The entire Yuhua Palace had fallen into a strange calm.
As the days got closer, the people from the Yaotai Golden Phoenix still hadn't come. She knew that the Queen Mother intended to "teach" her a good lesson with the antidote.
Presumably, after suffering the pain of the strange poison, she would know whose words she should listen to.
However, the Queen Mother had miscalculated Ling Shan's character.
The poison on her body was ultimately a time bomb, and no one knew when it would explode.
Moreover, if she detonated this bomb earlier by herself, she could not only get rid of the Queen Mother and avoid the torture, but also make Jun Wuyuan feel heartache and gain some favor.
Just think about it. She was clearly suffering from a strange poison and enduring the torture, but she refused to yield for the antidote and really betray Jun Wuyuan. She would rather bear it alone.
Who wouldn't be touched by such affection?
How could Jun Wuyuan not be moved?
Since she received the first volume of Biluoluo from Wang Chengbi, Ling Shan had studied it carefully.
Coincidentally, she happened to hear from Imperial Physician Chang about the principle of the compatibility and incompatibility of medicinal materials.
After the "fright" in the Fuqu Pavilion, she had a nightmare last night. A prescription was prescribed, and she accidentally took it today, so the poison naturally flared up.
The strange poison that made the Queen Mother so conceited was naturally not an ordinary thing.
As Ling Shan had expected, no matter how extraordinary Chang Wei's medical skills were, few people could detect and recognize this strange Biluoluo poison.
However, she could plant a foreshadowing in advance and sow a bit of doubt in Jun Wuyuan's heart.
Presumably, after this "coma", Jun Wuyuan would feel even more heartache and self - blame when she suffered excruciating pain from the poison later.
"Your Majesty... I... What's... wrong with me?"
I don't know how much time had passed, but Ling Shan woke up.
Her black almond eyes were not as clear and lively as before. Instead, they were filled with a bit of weak confusion.
"Shan Shan, you're awake!"
A bright light flashed in Jun Wuyuan's eyes. He excitedly stood up and without thinking, he wanted to reach out and hug Ling Shan.
But...
He had forgotten that he had been sitting on the side of the couch for a long time.
When he stood up excitedly, his legs went numb...
If his arms hadn't been okay, he might have made a fool of himself in front of Ling Shan by falling flat on his face!
[So close!]
The emotion Ling Shan had been brewing almost collapsed too. Fortunately, she managed to suppress the curve of her lips in time.
"Your Majesty, are... are you okay?"
Jun Wuyuan: "..." He felt a bit embarrassed for no reason!
However, it was nothing compared to the joy of Ling Shan waking up and looking at him with her bright eyes!
"I'm fine."
Jun Wuyuan looked at her tenderly: "Shan Shan, don't be afraid. The imperial physician said that you've been tired these days. Just take good care of yourself."
