Chapter 61 -61: Feng Bailing’s Medicine (Part 1)
It was Feng Bailing who prescribed the medicine.
The collective Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Hospital all showed contempt in their eyes.
The couplet that Feng Sanwu wrote at the Spring Banquet that year was too infamous, known throughout the court. Such a person, it is no wonder they’d prescribe such nonsensical medicine.
“Li Qing, is what Noble Princess Consort Xiao said true?”
Emperor Yongye’s face turned even gloomier. How dare they casually medicate Mother’s phoenix body.
“Your humble servant would not dare to hide the truth. It is indeed Princess Feng who prescribed the medicine; it also cured the old servant’s eye disease before, which prompted me to boldly attempt it.”
Li Qing did not dare conceal anything.
He sympathized with Emperor Yongye’s recent concerns over the Empress Dowager’s matter, which was why he thought to present the medicine, never expecting Noble Princess Consort Xiao to create complications.
“You dog of a servant, how dare you equate yourself to the Empress Dowager. This medicine must not be administered to the Empress Dowager. Every medicine has its poison; what if it harms the Empress Dowager? I think you are harboring ill intentions. Your Majesty, with the Empress Dowager falling ill, as the chief servant, Li Qing bears an inescapable responsibility and should be severely punished.”
Noble Princess Consort Xiao scoffed coldly.
Li Qing was a long-serving servant by Emperor Yongye’s side. When Noble Princess Consort Xiao was not yet titled as such, she bribed Li Qing several times secretly in order to receive more attention from Emperor Yongye, only to be rebuked by him. Noble Princess Consort Xiao still remembered this grudge.
“Your humble servant is willing to accept the punishment, but this matter is unrelated to Princess Feng. I beg Your Majesty not to investigate her.”
Li Qing pleaded.
“Your Majesty, it’s terrible, the Empress Dowager has persistent stomach pains and has fainted!”
The nanny serving by the Empress Dowager’s side reported in panic.
The Imperial Physicians were thrown into chaos at once.
“Your Majesty, Prince Wu, Princess Yong’an, and Princess Shengping are requesting an audience outside.”
A palace maid came to report from outside the palace.
“Take Li Qing away and lock him in the dungeon awaiting disposition. Let them in.”
Emperor Yongye was annoyed, feeling troubled by everyone, especially Feng Bailing—how dare he prescribe medicine at a time like this.
Li Qing was dragged away, and Feng Bailing frowned upon seeing Li Qing.
“Your Majesty, may I know what crime Mr. Li has committed?”
Feng Bailing stepped forward, blocking the path of the guards.
“Princess Feng, there’s no need to plead for this humble servant.”
Li Qing shook his head. Emperor Yongye was in a fiery rage; one misstep, and Feng Bailing could also be caught in the disaster.
Emperor Yongye chuckled coldly, paying no attention to Feng Bailing.
“Brother looks so angry, could it be because of the prescription from last night?”
Dongfang Lianhua approached, respectfully bowing.
Emperor Yongye then noticed Dongfang Lianhua; it had been several years since he had seen his imperial sister.
He had heard she was gravely ill and had sent Imperial Physicians to check on her. The answer he received was that she was suffering from consumption and feared she might not live for many more years.
Yet the Dongfang Lianhua standing before him had sharp facial features, a rosy complexion, long delicate eyebrows with no hint of illness between them, and lips red and full. Clad in a goose-yellow dress, she seemed more spirited than ever.
Noble Princess Consort Xiao was green with envy. She was about the same age as Dongfang Lianhua, and although well taken care of, childbirth had changed her figure, and wrinkles showed on her brow. She was nothing like Dongfang Lianhua, who was slender and had skin as delicate as a peeled egg’s.
She wasn’t close with Emperor Yongye and was reserved by nature, never addressing Emperor Yongye as “brother” in front of others, but today, astonishingly, she called him that.
Emperor Yongye was momentarily dazed, seeing the vision of Dongfang Lianhua as if recalling the little pest who used to follow Father Emperor and secretly smile at him.
“Lianhua, your illness… has it been cured?”
Emperor Yongye scrutinized Dongfang Lianhua.
“Thank you for Brother’s concern. Thanks to Ah Ling’s medicine, I narrowly escaped death.”
Dongfang Lianhua spoke softly.
“Ah Ling’s medicine?”
Emperor Yongye’s face showed a hint of suspicion. Could it be that Feng Bailing really knew medical skills?
“Ah Ling obtained a miracle medicine from traveling merchants. After Mr. Li and I used it, our diseases were cured. When Mr. Li came to ask for the medicine last night, he did not mention that the Empress Dowager was ill. Upon hearing about the symptoms, Ah Ling prescribed the medicine. If my brother does not believe me, Lianhua is willing to take the medicine with you, only asking that we do not let Mr. Li’s hardship and Ah Ling’s filial piety be in vain.”
Dongfang Lianhua pleaded.
Emperor Yongye furrowed his brow tightly. Li Qing’s eye disease was not enough to prove anything, but Dongfang Lianhua, a patient abandoned by the Imperial Hospital, got better in just a few days?
“Summon someone, prepare the medicine.”
After much hesitation, Emperor Yongye ordered someone to prepare the medicine.
A quarter of an hour later, two doses of medicine were brought up.
“Mother, you’ve just recovered from a severe illness. It’s better for me to drink this medicine.”
Feng Bailing took one bowl of medicine.
“The Empress Dowager still needs your observation. Let me drink it.”
Dongfang Lianhua shook her head, Ah Ling had said that the medicine she prescribed for the Empress Dowager was meant to clear heat and detoxify and might cause diarrhea.
“Mosheng is willing to share the worries of the Princess and the Commandery Princess. I can volunteer to test this medicine.”
Inside the resting quarters, someone stepped out.
The person was tall and elegant, with a faint smile on his beautiful face that could make anyone jealous.
“Xiao Jiu, I told you to go back to Qian Residence first, why are you still here? It’s been several days, your body cannot withstand much more.”
Emperor Yongye sighed. Among all his sons, Dongfang Mosheng was the most filial.
When the princes learned that the Empress Dowager was ill, they came with false concern. Only Dongfang Mosheng stayed by her side day and night. He might be blind, but his thoughts were delicate, far more filial than many people with sight.
“Father Emperor, I am a half-crippled person; this is the only use I have left.”
Dongfang Mosheng showed a sorrowful expression.
He reached out in the direction of Feng Bailing.
Perhaps due to extreme tension, his hand touched Feng Bailing’s. Like being scorched by fire, Dongfang Mosheng quickly withdrew his hand, his cheeks and earlobes flushing with red.
“Princess Feng, my apologies.”
Dongfang Mosheng stammered.
“Then please allow me to trouble…”
Just as Feng Bailing was about to pass the medicine over, a surge of hidden force suddenly struck.
The bowl of medicine flew out of her hand, tracing an arc in the air and landing in Dugu Wu’s hands.
“The medicine made by my fiancée, if anyone is to test it, it should be me.”
Dugu Wu glanced at the dark concoction and downed it in one gulp.
Dongfang Mosheng was blind, but he was not.
He was truly afraid that Feng Bailing would take the opportunity to grab and manhandle Dongfang Mosheng’s hands.
After all, Dongfang Mosheng’s face was only slightly less handsome than his!
If she dared to do so, Dugu Wu wouldn’t care whether Dongfang Mosheng was a prince or not. He would chop off both his hands.
Perhaps sensing the growing hostility emanating from Dugu Wu, Dongfang Mosheng’s face turned pale, his lips quivering.
“Thank you, Prince Wu.”
After Dugu Wu consumed the medicine, it was sent to the Empress Dowager.
Seeing Dugu Wu walking with a cane no different from a normal person, Emperor Yongye’s brows knitted tightly, then relaxed.
A quarter of an hour later, startled cries could be heard from inside.
The palace maids and nannies were in chaos.

“Not good, the Empress Dowager is vomiting and has diarrhea, her condition has worsened!”
