Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 909 "Acting"

In the palace, the emperor finally woke up slowly.

After waking up, the emperor looked better than ever. Looking at the doctors gathered around his bed, he smiled tiredly, "What's wrong? I just took a nap. Why are you all like this?"

Zhang Dexian pushed through the crowd and rushed over, crying and howling as he threw himself beside the emperor's bed, "Oh my God! Your Majesty, you are finally awake? I was so scared, I called the doctors. You didn't wake up this morning, so I was worried, so I took the initiative to call all the doctors on duty! Fortunately, your majesty is blessed with great fortune, and it was just a false alarm!"

The emperor had just woken up and was still a little lazy. Hearing this, he remained silent and asked calmly, "How much time do you have now?"

"It's past noon!" Zhang Dexian finished howling, half stood up and looked at the emperor from head to toe. Seeing that he looked good, he felt relieved and asked, "Your Majesty, can you let the imperial physician take your pulse?"

The emperor sat up for a while and waved his hand in a disinterested manner, "No need. I'm a little hungry, please have someone prepare some food. Today, all the imperial doctors here will be rewarded, you can arrange it."

The imperial doctors all knelt down to thank him. Doctor Chen wanted to say something but stopped himself. His colleagues quietly tugged at his sleeves and shook their heads calmly: "Fool! Telling His Majesty that he was able to wake up thanks to a little girl who has no medical skills at all, all the imperial doctors would become a joke. The reward that has not yet landed would probably become a punishment!"

Doctor Chen didn't want to take credit for nothing, but his colleague's words suddenly made him realize... Miss Ji didn't bring Old Chen into the palace because she didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, who doesn't know that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger? Thinking of this, he didn't say anything.

Zhang Dexian didn't think too much about it. He just responded in a low voice and reported truthfully, "Your Majesty. Miss Ji is still waiting in the side hall. Do you want to enjoy it together?"

"Ji... Ji Wuyan?" The emperor leaned back on the pillow with his eyes narrowed. He looked at Zhang Dexian. His pupils were cloudy, and when he stared at people, there was a kind of creepy aura. The surprise was diluted a lot. He asked, "Why is she here?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know..." Zhang Dexian nodded and smiled softly, his smile was as gentle as if he was talking about his beloved younger generation, "It was Miss Ji's acupuncture that awakened Your Majesty. But the girl was too exhausted after the acupuncture, so Lord Ning took her to the side hall to rest."

The emperor looked at Zhang Dexian for a long time without saying anything. He squinted his eyes and looked a little tired. He didn't know if he fell asleep. After a while, he raised his hand and said, "Reward." He leaned there and spoke with a lack of breath, but his face was rosier than before. It seemed that acupuncture was indeed very effective.

Zhang Dexian nodded in agreement, and walked out happily, stroking the whisk in his arm. When he turned the corner, he saw Li Yiwei walking quickly from outside with his hands behind his back. The smile on his face suddenly faded, and he just bowed politely from a distance, then went to the side hall again.

The reward given to the girl is different from the reward given to the imperial physician. Since he is the one who makes the decision on this matter, the imperial physicians will naturally follow the previous practice. Miss Ji might as well ask a little more. It would be best if everyone is happy.

……

Li Yiwei hurried over after hearing the news that the emperor had woken up. Halfway through, he learned that it was Ji Wuyan who had awakened the emperor with acupuncture. His heart immediately trembled, and he asked in disbelief, "Really? What about Chen Song?" "Chen Song did not enter the palace, nor did he bring any pills. He was awakened by acupuncture. According to Miss Ji, Chen Song was ill and could not come, so she came to check on the situation first."

"Just look at the situation and save her?" Li Yiwei felt that this matter was absurd, like a fool's dream. "Those old stubborn people dared to let her in and make trouble?"

"Of course I wouldn't. I heard that they argued for a long time, and finally it was the Third Master who patted his chest and promised."

Guarantee? Li Yiwei was almost laughing out of anger. Ning Xiuyuan was really brave! When Ning Xiuyuan said he would pick someone up in person, he felt something was wrong. He didn't expect that the person was picked up, but the person who was supposed to come didn't show up. Fortunately, someone really woke him up!

He asked Chen Song to come over not to cure the emperor. Li Yiwei didn't care whether the emperor could wake up or not. He just wanted to use the magic medicine that was said to be able to bring the dead back to life to push Chen Song and the Ji family into a dilemma - if he couldn't cure the emperor, he would naturally be pushed out to take the blame. If he was lucky enough to cure the emperor, he would inevitably have to explain why he hadn't presented this magic medicine to His Majesty yet... In short, there would be rewards, and there would also be fear.

Not to mention the Ji family, even the Ningguo Mansion would be impeached by the historians. By then...how could Ji Wuyan still have the face to stay in Yanjing City? How could he care about the imperial tomb coffin?
It really kills two birds with one stone.

But the louder the calculations were, the more disappointing the results would be! Li Yiwei cursed the incompetent imperial doctors who couldn't even do acupuncture and moxibustion and were outclassed for no reason. He stepped over the threshold and hurried inside. Before he saw anyone, he heard the voice, "Father! Father, you are finally awake?! Your son, your son is so worried!" After saying that, he knelt down in front of the emperor's bed with a plop.

Crisp and neat.

A cool breeze blew in from the window, carrying yellow leaves, and the fallen leaves swayed and fell at Li Yiwei's feet.

The imperial doctors were stunned, and the emperor... seemed stunned as well. It took him a long while to come back to his senses. He raised his hand and said, "Get up. You just slept a little longer. It's nothing serious... I didn't see you just now. Where did you go?" The son who claimed to be extremely worried did not stay by his side, but rushed in breathlessly and crying after he woke up. This kind of "worry" is really hard to believe.

Li Yiwei sniffed and actually felt like sobbing. He wiped the corners of his eyes casually and said, "It's like this. I thought you were fine before I left yesterday, but how come you are like this in just one night? It must be the work of some villain... So even though I am worried about you, I have to take people to investigate this matter."

"Fortunately... Fortunately, my father is blessed with great fortune!" After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and sniffed again, his breathing quickened with excitement.

The imperial doctors looked at each other's hearts, stood quietly by, and said nothing.

The emperor looked at his son, who could almost be called the only surviving son, for a long while, thinking that what Li Yiwei said was quite right. He was fine this morning, so why did he fall ill last night? Could it be that... His fingertips under the quilt rubbed the brocade under him, and the emperor smiled suddenly, "That's hard work for you. Have you found this villain now?"
