Chapter 595: Chapter 588: Sacrifice to Heaven_1

To make someone stand up is not really difficult!

Many medicines can stimulate the potentialities of human life, at the expense of consuming their vitality and life, for a temporary outbreak.

But that person is Ye Han, her adoptive brother! If it were someone unfamiliar, Su Pan’er would undoubtedly choose the most potent method to stimulate their potential, but at this moment, Su Pan’er did not do so.

"Your Majesty, may I be permitted to examine Brother Ye before making my final decision?"

His Majesty nodded approvingly at Su Pan’er’s serious request. She was neither arrogant nor impatient, her actions measured, and she did not concern herself with trivialities. No wonder Ye Han and Imperial Consort Hua never failed to mention her in his presence.

"Approved!"

His Majesty gave his final decision: "Senior Doctor Gao, Senior Doctor Wang, Senior Doctor Lu, Senior Doctor Fang, take Mrs. Qin to check."

The four imperial doctors stepped forward hurriedly: "We obey your decree."

Noting this arrangement, Qin Yi hastily stepped up: "Your Majesty, please allow me to serve as my wife’s assistant!"

"You can’t bear to be away from your wife for a moment, huh? Hahaha, okay, go together!"

Ye Han was temporarily housed in a side compound, just to the right of the compound where Su Pan’er had been taken to meet Qin Hong. It appeared that Qin Hong had prepared well ahead of time.

Upon seeing Ye Han, Su Pan’er hurriedly examined his injuries.

Ye Han’s left chest had been pierced, evidently wounded by a crossbow or similar weapon. Fortunately, his large size prevented vital organs and critical spots from being hit, allowing him to narrowly escape death. He was currently running a high fever, his jaws tightly clenched, and his face so white it had lost all colour.

Given his current condition, having him walk on his own was indeed too much to ask.

But just because others couldn’t do it didn’t mean she, Su Pan’er, couldn’t!

Once again, Su Pan’er knelt in the grand hall and pleaded: "Your Majesty, I did not bring my preferred tools when I entered the palace. I beg your permission to let my husband fetch them."

"Well..."

His Majesty clearly hesitated: "But that would delay for quite some time. The palace has plenty of tools like silver needles. How about ..."

"Your Majesty does not know that these tools for doctors are like having an extra hand. If that hand is not comfortable, how can we even talk about healing others? Please, grant my request." Having spoken, Su Pan’er knelt deeply before His Majesty.

Seeing that His Majesty was hesitant, Qin Yi also knelt down: "Your Majesty, I will go and return as quickly as possible. If Your Majesty is concerned about the time, why not have some people carry Great General Ye near the Temple of Heaven on a stretcher? After I return, my wife can treat him nearby. We won’t delay either task!"

With no other choices, His Majesty agreed with a wave of his hand.

"Well, then. Beloved Official Qin, you are let off this time!"

Qin Yi immediately stepped forward to accept the order: "I dare not disobey!"

While Qin Yi was away fetching the tools, Su Pan’er accompanied Ye Han, who had been placed on the stretcher, and went to the Temple of Heaven with everyone else.

Su Pan’er began Ye Han’s initial treatment. In fact, his wounds had already been thoroughly examined by the imperial doctors and treated with the best medicinal ingredients and methods. However, to expect Ye Han to wake up quickly and stand immediately was clearly impossible.

The four imperial doctors watched with contempt as Su Pan’er examined Ye Han. Because it was His Majesty himself who had appointed them, they dared not voice any objections. However, they did not hold back from whispering amongst themselves, pointing and making disparaging remarks at the young Su Pan’er.

But Su Pan’er just focused on her work, ignoring the chatter of the four doctors.

Going up to the Temple of Heaven was no easy task, requiring civil and military officials to kneel every three steps and bow every five steps.

With Su Pan’er heavily pregnant, His Majesty made an exception for her. Instead of going up, she could stay below the Temple of Heaven to look after Ye Han.

Watching the palace maids and ministers carrying trays, sweating profusely, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thankful she didn’t have to go up with them.

Qin Yi hurriedly ran back home and then quickly returned to the Temple of Heaven, making the round trip in just a third of the usual time to fetch Su Pan’er’s tools.

The so-called tools were nothing more than a jade bottle filled with rascal pig’s saliva that required Qin Yi to return home!

The treatment that followed happened naturally.

Once the rascal pig’s saliva was smeared on Ye Han’s wound, the wound visibly improved at a rapid pace.

His fever quickly subsided, and Ye Han naturally woke up from his coma. Soon he was struggling to stand up, leaving everyone watching wide-eyed and flabbergasted!

Especially the four senior doctors, who simply couldn’t believe their eyes, rubbing them in disbelief, thinking they must be seeing things.

His Majesty was overjoyed when he heard that Ye Han had stood up!

He hadn’t expected that what was just a casual trial, Su Pan’er actually managed to achieve it!

In his exhilaration, he ordered with a beaming face.

"Let Lady Qin stay with Beloved Official Qin due to her frailty. If anyone takes issue with this and gossips, let him come to me. I shall teach him a memorable lesson!"

All the ministers were instantly stunned.

Su Pan’er quickly expressed her gratitude, but in her heart, she was cursing him.

This favor was like throwing the two of them into a boiling pot of oil! Who knows how much jealousy and resentment this would stir up!

But what the Emperor said was final, golden words.

Su Pan’er had no choice but to stick close to Qin Yi. Qin Yi said nothing, but quietly held Su Pan’er’s hand to boost her spirits.

By the time everyone had finally ascended to the Temple of Heaven, it was already noon, and the Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven officially began.

An old monk, clad in bright yellow robes, was chanting what seemed like an incantation. After quite a bit of commotion, His Majesty went up to pray personally.

Su Pan’er was too far away to hear clearly what His Majesty had said, only catching disjointed phrases of his prayers.

By the time the whole ceremony was over, simply standing aside and watching it had left her almost faint!

After the ceremony ended, the Emperor and the ministers descended from the Temple of Heaven. Only then did the old monk holding the alms bowl leisurely walk down and head towards the exit of the Temple.

As the monk walked past Su Pan’er, he suddenly exclaimed, stopped in his tracks, and sized her up.

Especially her face, he examined it very carefully, as if he was trying to discern something from it.

Su Pan’er instinctively moved behind Qin Yi, trying to avoid the monk’s gaze. The monk’s gaze fell upon Qin Yi. He watched silently for a long moment, then gave an almost inaudible sigh.

After a long pause, he nodded slightly at her, and then walked away.

This left Su Pan’er utterly confused, unable to understand what he meant by it.

Could it be that he knew she had been slacking off and not paying attention to the prayers?

It couldn’t be – that was too mystifying!

Su Pan’er couldn’t help frowning, and when she glanced around, she saw that everyone’s gaze was focused on her, making her feel somewhat ill at ease and her brow throb!
