Chapter 222 The Emperor's Illness
"Master."
Before he could finish his words, she raised her hand and pressed his hand down.
"Don't swear, I believe you."
He held her tightly in his arms again, facing the breeze, and whispered in her ear:
"I'm just afraid that I'm not good enough to you, and that I'm sorry for you."
How could he be sorry for her?
She was the one who hid something from him, about Sijin, about Jinyu, and she was sorry for him.
"Husband, actually... I have been hiding something from you. It's about Jinyan and Jinyu."
He suddenly shook his head vigorously.
"Don't say it. I've already told you that you don't need to tell me what you want to do. I believe you. All I know now is that after I, Leng Yiyan, came back from the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang, I had three children, two sons and one daughter. This is my pride and my happiness."
He didn't want her to tell the truth, he didn't want to shatter the beautiful dream in his heart.
He only knew that Jinyan was the child brought back from Northern Chu, and Jinyu was the child who was sent to Prince Yan's Mansion on the day she gave birth to Jinjie.
He treated these three children as his own, and that was enough. He didn't want to hear anything else, nor did he want to hear anything else.
Perhaps there was an element of self-deception in this, but he loved this woman, and as long as she was by his side, he didn't care what she had done.
She looked at him and smiled tenderly.
"Mr. Sir, thank you."
She suddenly didn't want to destroy the intimate atmosphere between them, so she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
He raised his hand, put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly:
"As long as you can stay by my side, I will be satisfied."
"I will be with you for the rest of my life. By the way, you asked me to go and see the emperor. The sooner the better. Let's go now!"
Hearing her say this, he stood up straight and said loudly:
“Ling Xiao…”
When she heard him shout these two words, Luo Nianxi's heart tightened and her eyes turned red.
Ling Yun ran over, and Leng Yiyan immediately realized that he had called the wrong person.
He breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Ling Yun:
"Prepare the carriage. The princess and I will go to the palace."
"Yes."
Hearing him call Ling Xiao's name, Ling Yun was also very disappointed. After receiving the order, he went out to prepare the carriage. Luo Nianxi comforted him softly:
"My husband, I heard that after a person dies, the living should not always think about him, otherwise it will affect his reincarnation."
Leng Yiyan shook his head solemnly.
"I don't want him to reincarnate. I want him to wait for us there. We brothers will reunite there sooner or later."
"But you are in the human world, and he is in the underworld. Life in the underworld is not easy. You made him wait for you for so many years. It's too cruel."
He looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.
"You're right. I was too selfish. I shouldn't have thought about meeting him in the underworld. I should have let him be reborn as soon as possible. Maybe we can still be brothers again."
As he said this, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
She could understand his feelings.
After all, Ling Xiao has been his brother for more than ten years. Although they are not blood brothers, the relationship between them has long been better than that of blood brothers.
After a while, the carriage was ready, and Leng Yiyan took Luo Nianxi to the palace.
Sitting in the carriage, she was a little worried.
"My husband, what if the emperor doesn't allow me to treat him?"
"No, he's just confused sometimes, but he's not stupid."
When he said this, a sharp look appeared in his eyes.
"He is actually a person who is sometimes smart and sometimes stupid. Sometimes he is emotional, and sometimes he is sensitive and suspicious. In fact, I am the same. Sometimes I think he is a good emperor, and sometimes I hate him very much. If it were not for the country and the stability of Pingyang, I would hope that he would continue to be sick and die one day. Then there would not be so many dirty things in and outside the court."
"No matter what, he is also your father. His blood runs in your body. I know that he did not agree to make you the crown prince this time. Instead, he was more inclined to Leng Yifei. This makes you feel disappointed."
"That's why I wanted you to treat him. Once he's cured, he can handle all the affairs of the court as before. Leng Yifei should stop dreaming of the position of crown prince in the short term."
Luo Nianxi felt that this was the real reason why he asked her to come and treat the emperor, but it was also an understandable reason.
When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Lin Ming was standing at the door. Seeing them coming, he hurried forward to greet them.
"Prince Yan, how come you two have time to come here?"
In Lin Ming's memory, it was probably several years ago that Prince Yan and Princess Yan came to see the Emperor together.
Leng Yiyan took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said:
"Eunuch Lin, Princess Yan is a doctor, and everyone knows this. I saw that my father has been feeling unwell recently, so I thought of asking her to come and see him."
Hearing this, Lin Ming was stunned at first, then nodded in agreement.
"You two have come at the perfect time. The imperial physician is examining the emperor inside, but after examining him for a long time, he still hasn't come out. What's going on? Please come in quickly!"
Leng Yiyan and Luo Nianxi looked at each other, then followed Lin Ming into the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, two imperial doctors were about to go out. When Leng Yiyan saw them, he asked directly:
"How is your Majesty?"
One of them responded directly,
"Replying to Prince Yan, the emperor is in good health. He just needs to rest more and take some tonic medicine."
Leng Yiyan knew that the emperor had a strange disease. The medical skills of these imperial doctors were superficial and they could not diagnose such a strange disease at all.
He waved his hands impatiently.
"Go back!"
Then he winked at Luo Nianxi, who nodded. She took two steps forward, sat down beside the emperor's dragon bed, and put her hand on the emperor's wrist.
The Emperor's voice sounded at this moment.
"Lin Ming, who is this imperial physician?"
Lin Ming bowed and replied:
"It's Princess Yan. She's here to diagnose you."
"I'm not sick, let her go, I just want to sleep."
"Your Majesty, please let Princess Yan take a look!"
The emperor seemed to have no strength. He tried to pull his hand away from Luo Nianxi's hand, but gave up after trying once.
After a while, Luo Nianxi sat up from the round stool with a frown on her face. Lin Ming and Leng Yiyan hurried forward to ask,
"How about it?"
"Let's talk outside!"
After saying that, she walked towards the outer room, followed closely by Lin Ming and Leng Yiyan.
When she arrived at the outer hall, she turned to look at Lin Ming.
"Eunuch Lin, what medicine is the emperor taking recently?"
Eunuch Lin hurriedly replied:
"The emperor has been like this for a long time, and the imperial physician couldn't find any illness, so he prescribed some tonic medicine for him."
"You haven't taken any other medicine?"
Lin Ming hesitated for a while and shook his head.
"No, the only medicine I gave His Majesty was the tonic prescribed by the imperial physician."
“Are there any more medicine residues?”
"Yes, I just finished lunch and I haven't had time to pour it yet."
"Bring it to me and see."
After Lin Ming responded, he hurried to get the medicine residue. Leng Yiyan asked anxiously at this time:
"Did you find any problem?"
She put one hand on her chin and nodded seriously.
"Well, I found that there seems to be a drug in the emperor's body that can damage the brain. For example, if taken, it will make people confused and sleepy all day. In serious cases, it will make people talk nonsense. Over time, this person will become listless..."
Lost soul?
Leng Yiyan suddenly thought of the name of the medicine, and his brows twisted into a knot in an instant.
"Could it be Lost Souls?"
