Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Looking at the imperial doctor kneeling before him, Emperor Qi Ming spoke directly, “What’s the diagnosis?”

The chief of the medical institution responded softly, “Your Majesty, based on your pulse, your health seems perfectly fine, but…”

“If there’s nothing wrong with my body, why have I been falling asleep for no reason these past few days?”

Emperor Qi Ming interrupted him before he could finish.

Hearing this, the imperial doctor fell silent. After a moment, he murmured, “Your Majesty, perhaps you’ve just been too exhausted lately. 1 would suggest you get more rest.”

“Enough, you may leave.”

Hearing this, Emperor Qi Ming felt annoyed. Every doctor said the same thing. But Emperor Qi Ming clearly felt his body growing weaker, yet every medical check revealed no issues.

His eyes revealed his frustration.

Even though he’s an emperor, he’s still human. He fears death, perhaps even more than the average person.

“Your Majesty, should we invite Queen Cheng to examine you?”

At that moment, Wang Kun approached and whispered.

Hearing this, Emperor Qi Ming looked puzzled for a moment, casting a doubtful gaze at Wang Kun.

Seeing the Emperor’s confused expression, Wang Kun continued, “Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Queen Cheng is renowned for her medical expertise. Wasn’t the Empress’s health also restored under her care?”

Hearing Wang Kun’s words, a glint of hope appeared in Emperor Qi Ming’s eyes.

After some thought, the Emperor whispered to Wang Kun, “Go personally and summon Jiang Peihuan to the palace. But make sure this remains discreet.”

“Rest assured, Your Majesty. I know what to do.”

After bowing to the Emperor, Wang Kun immediately left the palace.

Once outside, Wang Kun headed directly to the General’s Mansion.

Soon, he encountered Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan.

Jiang Peihuan was enjoying the plum garden with Xiao Nanye. Hearing that Wang Kun had arrived, the two approached him.

“What’s with that expression?”

Emperor Qi Ming, noticing her concerned look, asked coldly.

Hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan said, “Your Majesty, you’ve been poisoned.”

“What did you say?”

Hearing this, Emperor Qi Ming’s eyes widened in shock.

With a serious gaze, Jiang Peihuan continued, “You’ve been poisoned, and it’s extremely potent. At first, it will cause you to fall into a deep slumber, but after a month, it will kill you in your sleep.”

The emperor’s eyes filled with fury. “How audacious!”

Looking at Xiao Nanye, Emperor Qi Ming ordered, “Handle this. I want to see who dares to target me.”

As he spoke, he began to cough.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly advised, “Your Majesty, you must not get too agitated, or the poison will act faster.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He then looked at Jiang Peihuan, “Since you know I’m poisoned, do you have a cure?”

“Yes, but it’s complicated.”

Emperor Qi Ming’s demeanor softened upon hearing the first word, but it quickly turned cold again when she continued, “What’s so complicated?”

“To cure you, 1 need to use acupuncture. However, the insertion of the needles can be extremely painful.”

Hearing the mention of severe pain, a look of concern appeared in the emperor’s eyes. But after a moment’s thought, he firmly stated, “Go ahead with the needles. I can endure a bit of pain.”

An hour later, a suppressed scream emanated from the Qianqing Palace. It was from Emperor Qi Ming.

He sat in the chair with silver needles protruding from his scalp. At the moment, he felt as if someone was continuously hammering his head.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan standing in front of him, he asked, “Isn’t there any other method besides this?”

“We could use medicine, but its effects are not as good as acupuncture. Plus, there could be lingering side effects. Would you prefer to be treated with medicine, Your Majesty?”

Emperor Qi Ming:”…”

After a few seconds of silence, he tightly clenched his fist and whispered, “This pain is nothing to me.”

As his words faded, he saw Jiang Peihuan preparing more silver needles. Seeing her actions, panic flashed in the emperor’s eyes, “What are you doing?”

“Your Majesty, this will help you recover faster..”
