Such a healthy person, yet can’t even withstand a bit of pollen.
The Imperial Physicians of Emperor Tangyuan were all amazed by Yun Sheng’s "Miracle Medical Skill," and came up to her, stating they wanted to discuss and inquire about the treatment for this kind of illness.
Yun Sheng, however, wore a bitter smile.
How could she explain it, she couldn’t possibly tell these doctors of the Wuji Continent.
The true cause of Empress Min’s illness is quite simple—it’s an allergy-induced fainting.
The fresh honey, especially from the bees cultivated in the Imperial Garden, contains pollen grains that are anti-allergenic, which was the real reason Empress Min woke up.
She could only offer verbal prevarications.
Seeing this, Second Prince Li Shao and Princess Consort Su found it dull and were about to sneak away, but were caught by the sharp-eyed Yun Sheng.
"Second Prince, do not forget the prior agreement you had with a commoner," Yun Sheng said with a smile, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.
Second Prince Li Shao had no choice but to reluctantly stay.
After Empress Min woke up, Yun Sheng instructed the palace maids to prepare some fresh dates.
Yun Sheng told Empress Min that allergies are not completely unsolvable.
Empress Min could incorporate some fresh honey and fresh dates into her daily diet; these foods could alleviate symptoms of allergies and even gradually change Empress Min’s constitution.
Empress Min had been troubled by her allergies for many years.
Yet for many years, the Imperial Physicians were at a loss; in her childhood, she had occasionally fainted due to allergies, but it had never been as serious as this time.
Yun Sheng merely smiled and suddenly said, "Empress Min, do you know who planted the most pollen-heavy You Tan flowers outside your Chao Lu Palace? I heard that You Tan is Princess Consort Su’s favorite flower, and those flowers outside your door were all personally ordered by Princess Consort Su to be planted."
Lying on the sickbed, Empress Min’s gaze slightly deepened, casting a meaningful look at Yun Sheng.
After taking some medicinal soup, Empress Min allowed the waiting crowd to enter the palace and pay their respects.
"Second Prince, I’ve heard about your agreement with Divine Doctor Yun as well," said Empress Min after waking up, conveyed by Crown Prince Li Cheng about the night and day of her coma, when Princess Consort Su barred the Min Family from entering the palace and insulted the Divine Doctor.
With the You Tan flower incident added, Empress Min had grown quite resentful towards Princess Consort Su and the Second Prince.
"Sister," Princess Consort Su tried to plead for her son, giving a sorrowful glance towards Emperor Tangyuan.
"Empress..." Emperor Tangyuan, receiving the Favored Concubine’s glance, also tried to intervene, having previously only wished to appease Yun Sheng, and upon reflection, since he had already promised the other the title of Grandmaster, and given the Second Prince’s traditional pride, having him apologize to someone by serving tea was indeed difficult.
"Your Majesty, the foremost thing for our Royal Family is the word ’promise.’ Just now, Your Majesty has pronounced your golden words. If you go back on your word now, wouldn’t it invite ridicule from everyone?" remarked Empress Min with a veiled criticism.
Yun Sheng then realized that although Empress Min had an unremarkable appearance, she was very clever, no wonder she had been able to stand firm in the harem for so many years. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
In this respect, Empress Min was perhaps even more cunning than Empress Li of Great Zhou.
Emperor Tangyuan was at a loss for words, finally speaking solemnly after a long pause, "Bring the tea."
The body of Second Prince Li Shao stiffened involuntarily.
Since his birth till today, he had never experienced such a great humiliation in front of everyone.
But since Emperor Tangyuan had spoken, he had nothing more to say and reluctantly took the tea.
Yun Sheng sat comfortably to the side.
The Second Prince Li Shao handed the tea to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng didn’t take it, and said coolly, "Second Prince, you forgot one more sentence."
A vein throbbed at the temple of Li Shao, and if looks could kill, Yun Sheng would have been pierced with hundreds of holes by now. He muttered, "Divine Doctor Yun, this Prince apologizes to you."
"Second Prince, you are too kind," Yun Sheng accepted the tea and sipped it comfortably, feeling secretly delighted inside.
The matter with Empress Min has thus come to a conclusion.
Yun Sheng was appointed as the Great National Doctor of Tang Yuan, and Ru Yi returned to the Magic Temple with the news.
The first thing Ru Yi did upon returning to the Magic Temple was to tell Si Ming Ji Yu about it.
Ji Yu had also conducted a divination for Empress Min earlier. Her fortune did indeed carry bale mixed with luck, but he had not precisely predicted the arrival of an important figure from the southwest.
He immediately called for Xia Wenxu.
This was also the first time Ji Yu had summoned Xia Wenxu since his return.
Ru Yi was relieved; the master had finally decided to forgive his junior brother.
His junior brother was ten years younger, only three or four years old when he first arrived at the Magic Temple.
He was charming, and the senior brothers and sisters in the temple all liked him, but he was always polite to everyone.
Although the master was the strictest with this disciple, Ru Yi knew well that the master loved the junior brother the most.
In his recollection, it was unprecedented for the master to be so angry for so long.
It seems that this time, gratitude should be given to that female physician from the Great Zhou.
Xia Wenxu arrived leisurely.
Upon seeing Ji Yu, he simply called out "Master."
Ji Yu just hummed in response, and the master-disciple resolved their emotional entanglements thus.
Ru Yi narrated the entire sequence of events once over.
Si Ming was taken aback as he listened.
Though he excels in magic, his friendship with Grandmaster Wen made him somewhat knowledgeable about Ancient Medical Skill.
The approach of the female physician from Great Zhou was quite bold, definitely not typical of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion’s methods.
Moreover, the notion of an allergy causing poisoning was unheard of on the continent.
"What does this female physician look like?" Xia Wenxu asked Ru Yi, to his surprise.
In his memory, his junior brother seldom took interest in people, let alone a stranger.
"Very plain, with a sallow complexion, and looks skinny; I would have thought she was a patient if she hadn’t introduced herself," having seen plenty of handsome men and beautiful women in the Magic Temple, Ru Yi really wasn’t impressed by Yun Sheng’s appearance.
Unable to describe the feeling, Xia Wenxu’s gaze darkened.
"What is her name? Is she with the Medicine Emperor Pavilion?" Si Ming noticed Xia Wenxu’s expression, his white eyebrows twitching as he casually asked.
"She is said to be the disciple of the Imperial Physician of the Great Zhou Medicine Emperor Pavilion, her name is... Yun Sheng," Ru Yi said.
Xia Wenxu’s expression remained unchanged.
"It’s her, Wenxu, is that physician named Yun Sheng the woman who concocted the Holy-grade Elixir and Moon God’s Praise?" Si Ming probed.
Si Ming glanced at Xia Wenxu subtly, noticing nothing unusual.
Perhaps he was overly suspicious; his disciple Wenxu had always been reserved, surely he wouldn’t be emotionally moved by a woman.
