In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1088 - 1083: She’s really generous!

Chapter 1088: Chapter 1083: She’s really generous!

"Hmm."

Qin Yi casually responded, reaching for the decoction.

"Your Majesty, allow your servant to test whether this decoction is too hot for your mouth."

Eunuch Wang, with a smile on his face, came over and was the first to take away the decoction.

According to the rules, everything that was to enter His Majesty’s mouth, no matter what it was, had to be first tasted by a designated person before it could be given to His Majesty to consume.

Under the circumstances, Eunuch An’s request was both reasonable and appropriate. Qin Yi, even if he wanted to object, could not, and he could only allow Eunuch Wang to take the decoction, pour out a little, and then bring it to his lips.

His gaze was fixed intently on every move of Imperial Physician Wang, as if he wanted to discern something from his expression.

Imperial Physician Wang naturally would not stop him; this medicine would work for men, but for someone lacking certain parts, the decoction naturally would have no reaction when consumed.

However, he needed to make his stance clear.

He promptly snorted, "Eunuch An, are you worried that this Imperial Physician has put something into His Majesty’s decoction?"

Well, it was medicine to begin with.

"Imperial Physician Wang is taking it too seriously. This servant is simply following the rules," Eunuch An said.

Eunuch Wang waved his sacred whisk, his smile unfading, "As the saying goes, without rules, nothing can be done. And within the Imperial Palace, rules are of the utmost importance. This tradition of testing medicines has been around since ancient times. Imperial Physician Wang, I cannot agree with your words!"

With just a few sentences, he deftly changed the subject.

"Hopefully not."

Imperial Physician Wang actually would have preferred to talk more, ideally until the decoction had completely cooled, so he could find an excuse to make a fresh batch.

But Eunuch An was determined. He picked up the bowl, slowly brought it to his lips, and after seeing that his act of drinking the medicine did not change the other party’s expression, he gulped down the contents of the bowl.

Imperial Physician Wang’s hanging heart did not relax but instead raised higher.

After a quarter of an hour, seeing no sign of discomfort from Eunuch An, the bowl of decoction was finally returned to His Majesty’s presence.

"Your Majesty!"

Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly tried to find something to say, "Your Majesty, the decoction has cooled. Would you allow this humble physician to heat it up before serving it again?"

"No need, it is just a bowl of decoction. I am not afraid of a little cold," Qin Yi said decisively, lifting the bowl and bringing it to his mouth to gulp down.

"The Empress has arrived!"

An eunuch outside announced loudly.

Qin Yi’s eyes brightened. Forgetting the decoction he was about to drink, he ordered loudly, "Announce her!"

Su Pan’er had come over after receiving a secret message from Eunuch An.

Eunuch An had discreetly sent a young eunuch to convey the message, causing Su Pan’er to hesitate for a while. The Emperor was only to drink a bowl of medicine, why then did Eunuch An need to specially inform her?

After much thought, she didn’t bother to change her clothes and hurried to Purple Zen Hall. Seeing the decoction on the Imperial desk, Su Pan’er thought to herself how close it had been and was relieved to have arrived in time!

"I heard that His Majesty is not feeling well, so this Empress specifically came to check," Su Pan’er said, stepping forward slowly, glancing at Imperial Physician Wang kneeling on the ground before finally resting her gaze on the decoction, "I am just uncertain where His Majesty is unwell. Perhaps this Empress should examine him."

Even though she had not diagnosed illnesses lately, Qin Yi’s health was obviously good; where was the need for medicine?

Despite their recent disagreement, she could not bear to watch Qin Yi die before her eyes.

"My body... cough cough cough."

Qin Yi feigned a cough twice, then set his face in a stern expression, "Indeed, I’m unwell, but there’s no major issue. Imperial Physician Wang has already prescribed a decoction for me which has been prepared; there’s no need for my Empress to concern herself with my treatment."

"Is that so."

Su Pan’er faintly furrowed her brows, her gaze resting on the bowl of decoction, reluctant to look away.

This decoction’s formula...is so strange! It was a ratio she had never encountered before, but what intrigued her most was, what was this medicine actually for?

"Did you personally prepare this prescription, Imperial Physician Wang?"

Her eyes seemed to hold nothing but curiosity, yet they caused Imperial Physician Wang’s heart to tremble violently.

At a moment like this, he didn’t dare to let down His Majesty, so he braced himself to take the responsibility, "Indeed, this prescription was prepared by me on His Majesty’s command."

"Hm."

Su Pan’er stared at the decoction for a long time, analyzing its ingredients, "What are the effects of drinking this medicine?"

"This...ahem, ahem, ahem..."

Imperial Physician Wang’s face reddened, as he took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, coughing uncontrollably. He finally managed to suppress his cough and hastily knelt down, "This humble servant has behaved improperly in the presence of His Majesty and begs for forgiveness."

"It doesn’t matter, I forgive you of any wrongdoing."

Finally, Qin Yi spoke up. He got up and slowly paced to where Su Pan’er stood, suddenly reaching out to hook her chin with a smirk, though his eyes held no mirth, "The purpose of this medicine, my Empress surely understands well. For this grand empire of mine to have a successor, it must rely on the care of my Empress..."

Unexpectedly, she was so generous as to push her husband toward another woman! So generous that it made him, the Emperor, itch to bite her.

The pressing momentum caused Su Pan’er to shrink back subconsciously, instinctively taking two steps back as if trying to escape his shackles.

This medicine...

Could it be, was it one of those decoctions designed to deceive the public?

Su Pan’er guessed in her heart, instinctively trying to dodge his presumptuous hand.

But Qin Yi had anticipated her action, and before she could get away, he quickly advanced, cornering her with a pressing demeanor that left Su Pan’er flustered and desperately dodging.

"Your Majesty! I am feeling a bit unwell, so I will take my leave now."

She gave a hasty bow and turned to run.

But Qin Yi grabbed her hand in one swift move.

He suddenly laughed, "My Empress, there’s no rush. Since you’re feeling unwell, it just so happens that Imperial Physician Wang is here. Why not let him take your pulse? It’s better than making another trip on your own."

"No need, I am a Doctor myself and wouldn’t dream of troubling Imperial Physician Wang," she said.

Su Pan’er certainly did not wish to stay, but she couldn’t break free from his firm grasp.

"Did you not once point out, ’a physician doesn’t heal oneself’? Since you won’t treat yourself, you might as well stay. Come..."

Qin Yi, without further discussion, directly pulled her to the dragon throne and made her sit down.

And Su Pan’er was forcibly embraced by his strong and domineering arms, made to sit together with him on the dragon throne.

This posture caused Imperial Physician Wang, kneeling below, to tremble all over, prostrating himself on the ground, not daring to lift his head. He wailed inwardly, lamenting his bad luck for being caught in the confrontation between the Emperor and Empress, in such an awkward situation.

Compared to Imperial Physician Wang’s internal struggle, Eunuch An silently stood in the shadows behind, not saying a word, as if he did not exist at all.

"Let go, let go of me!"

Su Pan’er’s face had turned as red as Guan Gong.

This position made her feel out of place whether she sat or stood, her entire body frozen. She tried several times to shake off the hand holding her waist, but she dared not make too big a movement and was unable to break free.
