Chapter 384 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis'
“Your situation is different from Huaizhi’s. Huaizhi was poisoned since childhood, or it was two different poisons intertwined.”
The two poisons fought, mutated, and merged in his body, forming a new poison, so Huai Zhi's physical condition was naturally different.
Your poisoning period wasn't as long as Huai's, but you're older and your physical condition isn't as good as before, so the symptoms appeared earlier.
After listening to Su Jinyue's explanation, Emperor Xinghe nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Su Jinyue gently.
"I heard that Huaizhi has recovered, and it was you who cured him of the poison?"
Since you've diagnosed me as being poisoned, I wonder if you can cure this poison?
Su Jinyue nodded helplessly. Her father-in-law was really not polite at all.
"Detoxification is not a problem, but your body is currently weak and you need to recuperate for a period of time before you can undergo detoxification."
Emperor Xinghe's situation was simpler than Shen Huaizhi's; the poison he was afflicted with had not mutated, and a single antidote pill would solve the problem. However, Su Jinyue did not want to detoxify Emperor Xinghe too easily.
Right now, Emperor Xinghe is in a good mood and doesn't hold it against her. But what if Emperor Xinghe and Shen Huaizhi fall out in the future and he becomes wary of her medical skills?
Su Jinyue wouldn't leave such a hidden danger!
Moreover, after thinking about it, Su Jinyue decided to tell the truth.
"There's one more thing I feel I need to tell you."
Emperor Xinghe was overjoyed to know that his health could be cured. He never expected that his trip would not only bring him back to his son, but also have his daughter-in-law cure his poison. He felt that his trip was definitely worthwhile.
Emperor Xinghe felt that no matter what Su Jinyue said, he could treat it normally.
He waved his hand: "Just say what you have to say, no need to beat around the bush."
Su Jinyue pouted, "This is what you asked for yourself."
"You've also been drugged, and this drug has been in effect for quite some time, probably seventeen or eighteen years."
This medicine is a cure-all!
The room fell silent. Xia Yuzhong buried his head and pretended he hadn't heard anything, while Shen Huaizhi also lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Emperor Xinghe was stunned for a moment. He could deal with taking things easy later.
The infertility drug had been administered for seventeen or eighteen years. No wonder no children were born in the palace after the birth of the Third Prince and Shen Huaizhi.
Judging from the timing and motive, it seems that only Song Zhihua, who faked her death, would hate him so much that she would give him this kind of drug.
The slow-acting poison he was given seems to be related to Song Zhihua, or at least to someone connected to her.
Emperor Xinghe really wished he could find this person immediately, tear him to pieces, and execute him by slow slicing!
Emperor Xinghe closed his eyes, calming his mind. He wasn't in a hurry; once the birthday banquet was over, the Song family would be finished, and Song Zhihua wouldn't be able to escape for long either.
Emperor Xinghe opened his eyes again, and even though he was still lying in bed, he already had the bearing of an emperor.
He turned to Su Jinyue and asked, "I wonder if there is any possibility that I can be cured?"
After a moment's thought, Su Jinyue cautiously replied, "I can only do my best, I can't guarantee anything."
Emperor Xinghe nodded. He was already 50 years old and had quite a few sons and daughters. He didn't have any particular expectations for offspring; it would be better if he had any, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.
After diagnosing the illness, Su Jinyue then prescribed a treatment plan for Emperor Xinghe.
But there's a problem: Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi live in the suburbs, and Emperor Xinghe has to attend the morning court session and return to the palace tonight.
However, in the early stages of treatment, it would be best for Emperor Xinghe not to be too far from Su Jinyue, so that Su Jinyue could diagnose the condition.
In this way, it seems that Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi only have one option: to return to the capital.
However, neither Su Jinyue nor Shen Huaizhi wanted to live in the small courtyard of the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, and the two-courtyard house given by Su Jinyue's uncle was not close to the palace.
Su Jinyue was at a loss for what to do.
Emperor Xinghe learned of Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi's concerns. What was the big deal? With a wave of his hand, he directly ordered Xia Yuzhong to allocate the residence closest to the palace to Shen Huaizhi, so that he could move in immediately.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi looked at each other, not expecting that the problem that had been giving them a headache would be solved so easily.
Seeing the flattered couple, Emperor Xinghe felt only heartache. What was the big deal about giving them a house?
If possible, Emperor Xinghe would like to bring the two of them back to the palace directly, but unfortunately the timing is not right, and he cannot bring them back in a grand manner.
Emperor Xinghe thought of Shen Huaizhi's meager family background, which even required him to rely on his wife's dowry to support him. He instantly became dissatisfied with Marquis Shen. Even if his son was being raised in the Xuanping Marquis's residence, what was wrong with the other party giving him more family wealth? Did he think that if he knew, he would let the Xuanping Marquis's residence suffer a loss?
Emperor Xinghe felt increasingly sorry for Shen Huaizhi. At this moment, he was already thinking about taking some good things from his private treasury and sending them to Shen Huaizhi's residence so that Shen Huaizhi's life would not be so difficult.
Moreover, Su Jinyue, his daughter-in-law, is also going to treat his illness. Such a capable daughter-in-law should naturally not be treated unfairly.
He also has many precious medicinal herbs in his private treasury, and he will send a portion of them to Su Jinyue later.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi have no idea that once they return to the capital, they will become incredibly wealthy!
Su Jinyue wrote a three-day treatment plan for Emperor Xinghe. The palace lacked nothing, and she believed that the imperial physicians would execute the treatment plan perfectly.
Su Jinyue handed the treatment plan to Xia Yuzhong, who treasured the paper and carefully kept it in his pocket.
She thought for a moment, then pretended to take a medicine from the medicine box, but actually took a bottle of medicine from her spatial storage, handed it to Xia Yuzhong, and then explained to Emperor Xinghe.
"These are pills I made to nourish my husband's body. They are very good for the body. Taking one pill a day will have a very good effect."
If you are still concerned, you can have the imperial physician examine you after you return to the palace.
Actually, this medicine is nothing special; it's just a pill similar to Ginseng Nourishing Pills, but the water used to rub the pills is from a sacred spring.
The spiritual spring water will definitely be useful for Emperor Xinghe's body. I believe that it won't be long before Su Jinyue will be able to start working on detoxifying Emperor Xinghe.
Because Emperor Xinghe was the emperor and his health was precious, Su Jinyue chose to use silver needles from the beginning and did not take out any medicine to treat Emperor Xinghe.
Su Jinyue took out the pills at this moment to increase Emperor Xinghe's confidence in her.
The example of Shen Huaizhi alone is nothing. Once Emperor Xinghe's health improves, he will know that Su Jinyue is truly capable.
After discussing the next steps of the treatment, Emperor Xinghe and Shen Huaizhi talked for a long time before reluctantly parting ways.
It was getting late, and Emperor Xinghe should return to the palace. Xia Yuzhong had been urging him to come long ago.
Emperor Xinghe was ill, and the carriage was moving slowly. If they didn't leave soon, they would really miss the time when the city gates closed.
