The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1501: Chapter 1496: Sole Favor from the Emperor

“Zhuo Junli!” Lu Mian’s simmering anger was barely containable.

Zhuo Junli laughed heartlessly, “Lu Mian, I’ve said it before, you should give up any hopes of seeing her again in this lifetime, whether or not we become enemies.”

“You!”

Lu Mian’s chest heaved with a surge of uncontainable rage.

Fortunately, it was already dark, and no one saw his loss of composure at the entrance of the Prime Minister’s Estate.

He immediately boarded the carriage and vented all his anger inside.

The thick cover of night only fueled his hatred!

Could it be that his farewell to Yun Sijin… was their last?

No!

He couldn’t accept that!

In the imperial palace, Rong Sheng entered the palace late at night.

Little Ginseng had recovered inside Su Yingxue’s body, and she helped Su Yingxue examine Chu Yihan’s head, leading to a terrifying discovery.

Chu Yihan lay on the dragon throne, his face writhing in pain; Su Yingxue sat on a soft couch in the warm pavilion, utterly worn out.

Rong Sheng asked in a low voice, “Is there a foreign object in his brain?”

“Yes…”

In front of Su Yingxue were many small bowls and plates filled with various powders, small black chunks like crushed pills, and some unidentifiable objects.

Rong Sheng picked them up one by one for inspection, but she didn’t notice anything unusual at first and couldn’t detect any poison.

However, after checking thoroughly for the third time, she felt something was off, “There’s a hint of blood, very faint, just a trace.”

If she hadn’t checked so many times, she would have never noticed.

Pressing her sore forehead, Su Yingxue spoke with some weakness: “Through Little Ginseng, I’ve found something inside his brain… the Gu King.”

“The Gu King?”

Rong Sheng was shocked as well.

But she quickly calmed herself down, “Hasn’t Chen Ruobai already died? Without the witch tribe, how can a Gu King be cultivated?”

“I don’t know why the Gu King would appear in his brain, but now in his head, there is indeed a living Gu! And judging by its size, it’s the same Gu King that Chen Ruobai hid in his wrist! Sister Rong Sheng, do you think of something? That Yun Dan who escaped with the white box!”

“Yun Dan… the laboratory!”

Rong Sheng immediately caught on, “The laboratory has culture dishes, and if used properly, they too can nurture Gu.”

Like a comfortable living environment—previously the Gu King resided inside the witch tribe’s bodies, but now, with their medical laboratory in that white box, if Yun Dan had studied medicine and mastered it, nurturing a Gu King would be a piece of cake.

Modern technology for raising Gu is far more convenient than the methods of the witch tribe.

But how did the Gu King get into Chu Yihan’s brain?

Su Yingxue looked down at the small bowls and dishes, “These were secretly scraped off by the hospital director of the Imperial Medical Academy every time he examined the pills of Concubine Lan. As you just smelled, they have a hint of blood, probably the blood of the Gu King, and previously my husband impulsively stormed into Ji Yun Country’s capital to kill Chen Ruobai, where the city was filled with poisonous Gu fog…”

He must have already been infected with Gu poison!

Yun Dan must have known this, used the culture dishes to raise the Gu, and then through the hands of Concubine Lan, made Chu Yihan take the medicine, cultivating a Gu King inside his brain!

Rong Sheng clenched her hands, “If that’s the case, it would be troublesome. The Gu King in the brain is much more difficult to deal with than in any other part of the body. To save him, we can only resort to…”

“Craniotomy!”

“Craniotomy!”

The two of them spoke in unison, yet the eyes they directed at each other were filled with difficulty.

Rong Sheng candidly said, “Although I can perform surgery, I have never done a craniotomy before, so I can’t even discuss the chances of success.”

And Su Yingxue…

Rong Sheng knew, she must be incredibly anxious right now.

She was desperate to save her husband, but even in modern medicine, a craniotomy is a very difficult major surgery, let alone in ancient times with crude conditions, with no tools and no sterile room?

Su Yingxue had tried all she could, “To save my husband, I can only get the white box first!”

Images fluttered before Rong Sheng’s eyes, “Right, if we had a laboratory at hand, Chu Yihan would at least have a chance of being saved.”

She and Su Yingxue both cared deeply for Chu Yihan because she knew that Chu Yifeng cared the most about this younger brother of his, someone he was prepared to risk his life to protect.

After a long discussion with Rong Sheng, Su Yingxue returned to the bedside and found that Chu Yihan wasn’t there. She broke down in hysterical shouting, running out of the warm pavilion with her hair adorned with the Phoenix Hairpin coming loose.

“What’s there to panic about? I’m right here. Where else could I go?”

Chu Yihan’s light, laughing voice came through.

Su Yingxue turned sharply and saw the man standing up high.

On Yonghua Pavilion.

Yonghua Pavilion was right behind the warm pavilion, the emperor’s Library Pavilion, and where Chu Yihan had spent most of his time since he was young.

Su Yingxue took a deep breath, wiping her tears as she climbed the stairs in her phoenix robe, her tone full of reproach, “Do you know you scared me to death?”

As she approached Chu Yihan, she gritted her teeth, as if wishing she could devour him whole.

Chu Yihan, dressed in his usual attire, had a somewhat pale face, which did not detract from his handsome features at all. Those phoenix eyes shone brilliantly, always managing to make one’s heart race.

This man had been handsome day in and day out for over a decade.

Su Yingxue recalled when she saw Chu Yihan as a child, he was the most outstanding among the young boys; when she grew up and saw Chu Yihan, he was unparalleled in the Imperial family; and after she married him…

She just felt that she was truly fortunate in this lifetime, no man in the whole world was as handsome as her own man.

Su Yingxue was embraced in his arms, speaking in a nasal tone, “If you weren’t so handsome, I would have definitely beaten you up! To run off like that, making me this worried!”

“Is the empress going to beat the emperor for walking a few steps in the imperial palace?” Chu Yihan chuckled, his voice blending a sexy tremor into the night breeze.

Su Yingxue pouted and bit his chin fiercely, “Her Majesty forbids it, I’ll beat you even if you step out of the warm pavilion! Who told you to be Her Majesty’s husband?”

“With such a fierce empress, no wonder my harem is desolate.”

“Desolate? You only have me to favor in your harem. If you don’t get better, I will drive out everyone from your harem, so you’ll learn what being lonely and widowed means!”

“Then I will have to thank the empress.” Chu Yihan’s eyes held deep laughter, he clearly looked pleased with himself.

Su Yingxue suddenly realized, “Alright then, you’ve set a trap for me? Wanting me to be the villain and drive the remaining three concubines back to their homes?”

“They’re just wasting their time staying in the palace. If the empress is kind, she could bestow them with silver, and send them away from Jiang Du City.” Chu Yihan saw her hairpin come loose, so he took it off for her and tossed it aside, then he untied her hair bun and let her hair down, gently massaging her scalp.

“I’m afraid the court officials will think I am the greatest jealous woman in the Great Cheng Dynasty.” Su Yingxue huffed lightly. She, as the empress, not only enjoyed the exclusive favor of the emperor but also planned to drive out the only three remaining concubines from the palace. Wouldn’t that make all the courtiers impeach her?

“It doesn’t matter; the empress’s son has ascended to the dragon throne, no one dares to speak ill of Her Majesty the Empress.” Chu Yihan rested his forehead against Su Yingxue’s, his laughter gentle.
