Chapter 119 If she can't be saved, she'll go to her grave.
Shen Sangwan didn't trust anyone else, so she had Ruoli and Ruoxin carry the person from the front and back, while she followed behind.
Cen Qingyu stayed behind to direct the Imperial Guards in an orderly manner to fight the fire.
The Empress Dowager and the others have all been arranged to stay at the nearest Xuyang Palace.
After things settled down, Shen Sangwan was nowhere to be seen, and a sense of panic rose in her heart. She asked Shen Yuchen to send people to look for her immediately.
So much so that no one noticed that the main character of the day—the Empress—was absent.
"Mother, don't worry, my sister will be alright. I have already sent Commander Cen with men to put out the fire."
Although Shen Yuchen said that, he was still quite uneasy inside.
"Your Majesty, there are assassins in the Golden Palace. Princess Yuan'an is seriously injured, and Her Highness the Eldest Princess has brought her back to Weiyang Palace."
"What! An assassin?"
Shen Yuchen slammed his fist on the table beside him. "These assassins can enter the palace as if it were empty. Are the Imperial Guards just for show?"
The ministers and their families knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
"Where is Cen Qingyu? Tell him to come and give us an answer immediately."
Upon hearing his son's name, Cen Zhouyuan's heart skipped a beat, but he dared not step forward to defend him, since today's events were somewhat related to him.
Although he didn't know why the people he had arranged suddenly disappeared, given the current situation, it was best to protect himself and avoid making any more mistakes.
Wen Yunhe, standing to the side, squinted as he sized up Cen Zhouyuan.
He thought to himself that the old man had actually learned to control his temper and wasn't in a hurry to defend himself.
The eunuch knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Commander Cen is leading people to put out the fire. The assassins were heading towards the Princess, and they have all been killed."
"Tell him to come back as soon as he finishes putting out the fire."
"Your Majesty, before returning to Weiyang Palace, the Princess sent me with a message that today's events were caused by someone deliberately setting fire under the guise of fireworks, and that Princess Yuan'an was implicated in the assassination attempt. Those who participated in the banquet are not allowed to leave the palace tonight."
The eunuch basically had to muster up his courage to relay Shen Sangwan's words throughout.
After all, those attending the banquet today were all high-ranking officials of the third rank or above, as well as members of the imperial family. Detaining them in the palace was something that had never happened before.
As expected, no sooner had the eunuch finished speaking than a minister voiced his protest.
Shen Yuchen had no time to pay attention and strode down from his seat. "Is the Princess injured?"
"This servant...this servant didn't see clearly, but it seems like he was injured, there's blood on his clothes."
Faced with the oppressive pressure of Shen Yuchen leaning down, the eunuch lowered his head even further, his voice trembling slightly.
"His Majesty--"
Before the ministers could even voice their accusations, Shen Yuchen had already strode out of the Xuyang Palace.
"Send the Empress Dowager back to Chonghua Palace. The rest of you shall all stay here. Anyone who leaves without permission will be executed without mercy."
After receiving the imperial decree, the imperial guards outside the palace lined up and surrounded the Xuyang Palace, their swords already drawn.
Some young women, witnessing this scene, were so frightened by what they had never experienced before that they hid behind their mothers and wept softly.
The court officials paced back and forth, filled with resentment and indignation.
Weiyang Palace
"Can you say that again!?"
Shen Sangwan grabbed Physician Li by the collar, as if she wanted to devour him alive.
"Your...Your...Princess, the princess has injured her heart meridian and...she has lost too much blood. This old minister...this old minister is powerless to save her..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Sangwan wanted nothing more than to throw him out, but reason prevailed over anger.
In the end, it was lifted high and then gently lowered.
"Shuyi, go and find all the imperial physicians on duty at the Imperial Hospital. If they can't save the princess, they can all go to the Yellow Springs to accompany her."
Shu Yi, looking somewhat disheveled, didn't have time to tidy himself up. After nodding, he headed towards the Imperial Hospital.
Previously, he was pale, but now he has developed a high fever and his face has turned bright red.
It was still a little hot to the touch.
Shen Sangwan knew that the high fever was caused by an infection from the wound, but Shuyan's condition was somewhat unusual.
His whole body felt like it was on fire, sweat poured out incessantly, and he was muttering something in his sleep.
The imperial physicians, including Qin, had to jog the entire way. When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, they were all panting and out of breath.
"Give me a good look, or you will not see the sun tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people dressed in black appeared in the room, all holding long swords. Although their faces were covered, their eyes were filled with a menacing aura.
"Yes Yes!"
Physician Qin was one of the most senior physicians besides Physician Li, and he was the first to step forward to take the pulse.
Gradually, his complexion mirrored that of Physician Li. He trembled and dared not speak, standing aside while the other physicians took his pulse.
"Mute?"
His fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, making a cracking sound. The guards also pulled their thumbs off their swords, frightening several imperial physicians into kneeling and begging for mercy.
“Your Highness…Your Highness, Princess Yuan’an’s injury is only a hair’s breadth from her heart. Although the bleeding has stopped, it has still damaged her heart meridian.”
"And...it seems the princess has also taken sedatives, which has weakened her body to fight the high fever..."
Did she ruin Xiao Yan Yan's life?
But at the time, she just didn't want the other person to suffer too much.
If I had known there was no anesthetic powder, I wouldn't have needed any, and this whole thing wouldn't have happened.
"Is there still hope if the temperature drops?"
The hall was silent; no one dared to answer.
"If you have a mouth but can't speak, I wouldn't mind pulling out your tongues for you."
Seeing that the other physicians were backing down, Physician Li had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, even if we can bring down the princess's fever, we cannot guarantee whether she will wake up."
"Then let's lower her temperature first and reduce her fever."
Shuyan is now defenseless, and the only way to cool her down is through physical methods and taking antipyretics.
[Hitomi, Hitomi.]
【Master, I'm here!】
Why can't I get this fever reducer out no matter how many times I try, and the same goes for this Vitality Pill? Are they malfunctioning?
When Shen Sangwan returned to Weiyang Palace, she was looking for the system items. She tried to retrieve the medicine several times but couldn't. She thought it was because she was in a hurry and planned to retrieve it later, but now she had clicked confirm no less than twenty times and there was no response.
[Master, this system item can only be used twice on anyone other than you for a short period of time. You will have to wait another week to use it again.]
Shen Sangwan suddenly couldn't hold back anymore. She had always used it only on the same person once before, so she hadn't noticed this restriction.
Now that Xiao Yan Yan is at a critical moment of life and death, she is told that she doesn't need the system's medicine to save her life. What's the difference between this and seeing a mirage?
Like a deflated balloon, he slumped listlessly into the chair.
As Shuyi brought ice and white wine, carefully wiping Shuyan's hands and feet, and constantly changing the soft handkerchief on her forehead, the imperial physicians discussed how to administer the medicine.
The scene before me was chaotic and disordered, and a buzzing sound filled my ears, with only long, continuous ringing, and I could not hear any other sounds.
