Ye Shengxuan was overjoyed to know that Helian Chacha was actually a girl, but his mind was pulled back to reality the moment he saw the gloomy face of the imperial doctor.
Ye Shengxuan took a deep breath, “Go ahead.”
“Aside from the wound, this girl has been poisoned with some kind of venomous insects.”
The imperial doctor touched his mustache and said seriously, “This is not an ordinary venom. What’s inside her body is the queen insect. It seems that this girl used to take some medicine to suppress the attack of queen insect, and obviously she has not been taking it lately. Plus, she is severely hurt now, so the queen insect knows her host is too weak that it needs to get out. If we can’t find the medicine to suppress the queen insect in time, she will probably not survive tonight.”
Ye Shengxuan frowned, “Can the imperial hospital make this antidote?”
The imperial doctor shook his head helplessly as the venomous insects were from Qi Kingdom exclusively, and only some people with extraordinary crafts out there knew how to solve this problem.
The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital entered the palace either through official examinations or inherited the positions from former generations, so none of them knew how to deal with things like this.
He said again after being silent for a while, “However, apart from the antidote, there is another way to save this girl. But…”
He was a little bit hesitant when saying that.
Ye Shengxuan frowned again, “But what? Tell me now!”
The Imperial didn’t dare to hedge anymore when being urged by the emperor, so he talked directly, “We need a man with advanced martial arts, and I will transfer the queen insect into his body. He should use his power to make the queen insect sleep and then the girl’s life can be saved.”
As of speaking, he couldn’t help throwing a glimpse at Shiao Qi who was standing next to him.
Shiao Qi was thrilled by him, but he stepped up and arched his hands in respect immediately when he met Ye Shengxuan’s eyes, “Your Majesty, I’d like…to save the life of Miss Lin.”
He thought Ye Shengxuan would praise his loyalty, but the emperor only glanced at him coldly, “You. Get out.”
“Your Majesty?”
Seeing that he was still there, Ye Shengxuan shouted at him, “Didn’t you hear me? Get out!”
Shiao Qi hesitated for a while and then said with respect, “Take care, Your Majesty.”
The imperial doctor had thought that they were just joking around, but Shiao Qi was leaving for real.
The imperial doctor was really confused, “Your Majesty, why are you…”
“Get that queen insect into my body.”
The imperial doctor was even more shocked and he kneeled down immediately, yelling, “Your Majesty. This is absolutely wrong. You are the emperor of our country. How can you do it for… for a…”
“This is an order.” Ye Shengxuan’s eyes looked really firm, “You don’t need to worry about anything else. Just get that queen insect into my body.”
Looking at his determined face, the imperial doctor pursed his mouth and nodded his head in despair. He then turned around to walk to the table, and it took him quite a while to find a little bottle from his medicine box.
Seeing that he was trying to give it to Helian Chacha, Ye Shengxuan couldn’t help asking, “What is this thing?”
The imperial doctor started to answer Ye Shengxuan’s question while putting that medicine into Helian Chacha’s mouth, “This is the medicine to expel the queen insect. Once I give it to Ms. Lin, the queen insect inside her body will start to run and try to break out. And then I will prick her finger and then you do the same on yours so that we can transfer the queen insect into your body.”
Ye Shengxuan was a bit confused, “If we can get the queen insect out of her body, why do we need to find another one to accept it? Why can’t we just let the insect die outside her body?”
The imperial doctor shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Your Majesty, there is something you need to know. There is more than one queen insect as this is just a common name for them. Inside the body of this girl, there are actually two insects, one male, and one female. When leaving the body, normally the male insect will go first. If the male dies, the female insect will bite the host to death directly. That’s why I have to transfer it into someone with advanced martial arts.”
As they were talking, the medicine had already taken effect inside Helian Chacha’s body.
The two insects started to rush here and there inside the body of Helian Chacha as they were dispelled by that medicine and they tried to break her vessels so that they could run out.
Since the sweat drops on the forehead of Helian Chacha were getting bigger, the imperial doctor couldn’t help getting worried about her. But he asked Ye Shengxuan again before pricking the fingertip of Helian Chacha, “Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?”
As a loyal subject, he definitely cherished the life of the emperor more.
However, Ye Shengxuan was really determined so that before the doctor did it, he had already pricked his finger on his own and waited to get the queen insect.
The imperial doctor sighed hopelessly and connected the hands of Ye Shengxuan and Helian Chacha together gently.
Having found a new host, the two insects went into the body of Ye Shengxuan one by one with almost no hesitation.
The moment the insects entered his body, Ye Shengxuan’s face suddenly turned super pale. Seeing that, the imperial doctor reminded him by his side anxiously, “Your Majesty, use your power, use your power!”
Hearing that, he sat down right away and crossed his leg to operate his inner power as he tried to calm down the restless insects inside.
After a short while, the insects fell asleep as expected.
Seeing that he was opening his eyes slowly, the imperial doctor went up immediately, “Your Majesty, are you alright?”
He shook his head, “I’m good. You can go to bandage her first.”
The imperial doctor wanted to say something but he could see that the emperor’s mind was filled with the badly hurt girl on the bed, so he turned around and went to treat Helian Chacha with medicine and bandage.
Not sure if it was because of the acute pain or the venom, Helian Chacha spent 4 entire days on the bed. Ye Shengxuan would believe she was dead if it wasn’t for her breathing.
At noon on the fifth day, Ye Shengxuan heard the tiny sound of her rolling on the bed when he was checking the memorials. So he put down his brush pen and walked to the bed in a rush.
Helian Chacha opened her eyes slowly and he grabbed her hand immediately, asking anxiously, “Are you awake? Do you feel anything uncomfortable?”
She looked around and finally realized that she was again on the imperial bed after a long while. She then asked Ye Shengxuan weakly, “Your Majesty, did you save me?”
Seeing that she was now able to speak, Ye Shengxuan felt really happy, “Yes. So now you can marry me as a return.”
“Your Majesty, don’t be kidding me again. I am just a eu…” Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed a piece of chiffon from the corner of her eyes.
Her face suddenly changed as she opened the quilt to check the clothes she was wearing.
White chiffon dress?
“Why am I wearing a lady’s dress?”
“Your Majesty, please let me explain!”
Ye Shengxuan put his finger on his mouth, “No need to explain. I know everything now.”
She was shocked, “What do you know?” She didn’t say anything at all, right?
However, Ye Shengxuan looked really inscrutable, “Anyway, you don’t need to know that. I need to tell you two things. Which one do you want to hear first?”
She struggled a bit, “Well… tell me the bad one first.”
Ye Shengxuan said slowly, “It is well known in the palace that you are actually a girl, so you can’t really enjoy your life as a eunuch anymore.”
The smile on Helian Chacha’s face was fading gradually but she tried so hard to give out a smile and asked Ye Shengxuan, “Then what is the good one?”
“The good one is that, when you were still in the coma, I have already taken you into my harem as Concubine Xian, and also named you as ‘Shiao Qingyuan’. You can hang out with those concubines from now on.” Ye Shengxuan looked like a kid waiting to be praised while staring at her with great expectation.
But Helian Chacha only wanted to jump up and slap in his face.
Compared to the eunuch, those concubines were way scarier!
Ye Shengxuan was overjoyed to know that Helian Chacha was actually a girl, but his mind was pulled back to reality the moment he saw the gloomy face of the imperial doctor.
Ye Shengxuan took a deep breath, “Go ahead.”
“Aside from the wound, this girl has been poisoned with some kind of venomous insects.”
