Chapter 641: Chapter 640: Using Poison to Relieve Pain, That’s Pushing You to Death!

Yu Linglong entered the Emperor’s sleeping chamber.

Upon seeing the Beiming Emperor, she immediately performed a curtsey and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to see you."

The Emperor, upon seeing her, was immediately in a much better mood, "Take a seat!"

He almost said "At ease," but he restrained himself from uttering the words.

Although she had curtseyed, saying "At ease," in fact, would have been inappropriate.

As Chu Qianli, the Empress of Longteng Country, and with both nations being equally powerful, her willingness to perform a curtsey for him had already expressed her intentions.

She was willing to marry into their Feng Imperial Family, not seeking to marry the War God Xuan Prince of Beiming.

She was willing to bow before him, even though for Longteng Country, that would be a grave disrespect.

But for him in Beiming, that was absolute loyalty.

Of course, the Emperor was very pleased.

However, at the moment, the Emperor was suffering unbearable pain, so his mood had only improved a slight bit, and soon soured again.

"Lili, why does my abdominal pain keep recurring? The medicine you gave me before is all gone, and the new medicine you’ve been giving me lately, why does it seem to have no significant effect when I take it?"

Before leaving Beiming for Longteng, Chu Qianli had left him several bottles of medicine.

The bottles and the writing on them were somewhat strange; he couldn’t understand it.

But the medicine was indeed effective, at least it provided pain relief.

However, the medicine had recently run out, and his abdominal pain had worsened.

The Emperor had thought that once Chu Qianli became the Empress of Longteng, she would not return, and he had even planned for Feng Yexuan to personally go to Longteng Country to request medicine from Chu Qianli.

Others may not be able to obtain it.

But unexpectedly, Chu Qianli came back herself.

Yet, upon her return, she said that the old medicine was no longer effective on him and that he needed new medicine.

The replacement wasn’t much different from what the Imperial Physician used to prescribe.

It was just some calming and smoothing tonic, which did nothing for his abdominal pain.

"Lili, these past few days I’ve been in even more severe pain. If you have not thought of a better solution, then... perhaps give me some of the previous medicine to alleviate the pain for now."

The maiden before him looked down calmly without speaking.

Who knows what kind of medicine Chu Qianli had given him before? But she was Yu Linglong; she was not Chu Qianli!

Yu Linglong found that continuing to play the role of Chu Qianli seemed to be getting more difficult.

What exactly had gone wrong recently that it seemed like everyone was making things difficult for her?

It had been that mean old woman just now, and now, was even the Emperor trying to meddle and oppose her?

With her mind racing, Yu Linglong maintained a serene smile when looking at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, not to hide it from you, the medicine I previously administered to you, I spent several years refining just that small amount. Currently, I am still in the process of producing it, but it is not yet ready."

"By the way, Your Majesty, are there any remains of the medicine I previously gave you? Could you give some back to me? I’d like to take them back to use as a primer for the concoction."

As long as she could get Chu Qianli’s recipe, she could also prepare it.

The Emperor looked troubled, and Eunuch Qing said, "The medicine... The Emperor has consumed it all, only the bottles are left..."

"Then show me the bottles!"

... Eunuch Qing handed over the bottles to Yu Linglong, and afterwards, Yu Linglong took the Emperor’s pulse casually, prescribed a medicine, and then left.

Watching her hurried departure, Eunuch Qing sighed helplessly and could only instruct someone to fetch the medicine according to the new prescription from the pharmacy.

However, unexpectedly, the Imperial Physician came over quickly from the pharmacy.

"Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Physician looked at the new prescription with a pale face and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this prescription... this... is absolutely not advisable!"

"What’s wrong?" Eunuch Qing asked displeasedly, "This is a prescription from the Empress of Longteng, could there be a mistake?"

The Imperial Physician hurriedly explained, "This prescription... although it can alleviate Your Majesty’s pain, the toxicity is too strong. After one dose, each subsequent pain will be even worse than now!"

The Imperial Physician knelt down, with a look of unease he said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, using poison to relieve pain is not treating you, it is... it’s pushing you toward... toward... death!"
