The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 186: Feeling like facing a formidable enemy

Gu Junshen, who had half-closed his eyes and was immersed in a hazy rest, was suddenly pulled back to reality from his light sleep by the words of the imperial physician, which were as loud as the morning bell and evening drum.

His eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of deep eyes. The previous laziness and sleepiness had long been replaced by coldness.

Gu Junshen sat up straight, gently wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then exuded an aura that could not be ignored.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the doctor.

A tense and solemn atmosphere suddenly filled the air, as if time had slowed down at this moment.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Jun frowned in deep thought, then there was some joy in his eyes.

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can call another imperial physician. But the emperor's body was damaged by poison before. It will take a long time to recover. In the meantime, you should try your best..."

The imperial physician stopped talking angrily before he finished speaking. I guess the emperor must have understood.

Liu Sheng, who heard the news not far away, couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he didn't tell the imperial concubine about her intention to frame the emperor.

Otherwise he will be punished by death.

Aren’t there many eunuchs watching his current position?

If he had not followed the emperor since he was a child, and the emperor had not been sentimental towards him, perhaps he would not have been able to sit in this position, but who can blame him for his good fortune?

When the Ministry of Internal Affairs was assigning eunuchs, he was assigned to Gu Junshen's palace without any bias.

I think it was the blessing he earned in his previous life.

"I will not allow anyone else to know about what happened today. From now on, you will be responsible for my treatment and announce to the public that my condition has worsened. You will secretly replace the prescription with a tonic. Do you understand the next arrangement?"

Gu Junshen's gaze gradually became deep, and there was a pressure in his words that was hard to ignore.

After hearing this, the imperial physician's already tense nerves relaxed a little at the moment he heard the emperor's request, but his body was still trembling slightly.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Not until the imperial physician left did Gu Junshen put away his majestic eyes.

He did this simply to lure out the person behind the scenes who wanted to interfere with the harem or the Northern Dynasty's political affairs, and then take him down in one fell swoop.

Of course, what shocked him the most was that the medicine sent by Nanxiang had such a powerful medicinal effect. Although the process was a bit painful, as long as he got through that unforgettable treatment, the result would be good.

"I can still endure this little bit of pain."

"Liu Sheng! Prepare the bath!"

Smelling the unpleasant smell on his body, Gu Junshen shouted outside with some disgust.

……

The next day at 5 a.m., in Yanxi Palace.

In the bedroom of the main hall, a woman in white concubine's attire was performing various postures on the bed, repeating them over and over again, her movements smooth and graceful.

After getting up, Nanxiang did several sets of morning exercises until her whole body relaxed. Then she slowly got out of bed and told the servants to wash up.

"Juping, after I sent the medicine over last night, did the emperor finish drinking it?"

Nanxiang asked softly while sitting on the couch sipping tea.

She had mixed that bowl of medicine with great difficulty. Although the process was a little painful, it could help expel the toxins accumulated in the stomach.

If Gu Junshen thinks it is too bitter and is unwilling to drink it, we can only say that he deserves this disease.

Kikuhira's face turned pale and he looked a little terrified. After listening to Nanxiang's words, he thought for a moment and replied:

"This morning, Liu Sheng came to tell me that the emperor drank all the medicine sent by the empress. However, he had a severe reaction after drinking it, almost fainted, and finally vomited."

When Ju Ping first heard this, she was frightened to death and almost fainted. She squatted down and knelt towards Liu Sheng. She had never imagined that the medicine her queen wanted the emperor to drink was so painful and almost took the emperor's life.

At that time, she thought that Liu Sheng came to pronounce the verdict, until Liu Sheng said that the emperor was in much better health, her mood, which was almost on the verge of collapse, finally eased a little.

Which queen would dare to give the emperor a medicine with such strong side effects?

Except her mother.

"You actually finished drinking it?" There was some surprise in Nanxiang's eyes.

She had never expected that the emperor would give her so much face.

Even though she smelled the bitter and strange-tasting medicine, she didn't dare to drink it. The emperor was so brave.

For a moment, Nan Xiang's impression of Gu Junshen as a love-brained person deepened.

"Oh, right. I have two more Gu decoctions to deliver today. Don't forget."

Nanxiang suddenly thought of something and gave a reminder.

The cup of drink last night removed most of the toxins, but there must still be some residual toxins in the body. The remaining cups not only remove the residual toxins, but also have health-care effects.

Of course, the remaining few cups will have fewer side effects, or almost no side effects.

It's extremely bitter, the kind that makes you want to take one sip and not drink the next one.

I just don’t know if Gu Junshen will dare to drink the next few cups after the side effects from last night.

Nan Xiang couldn't help laughing when she thought of how Gu Junshen was so scared that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to drink it when he faced the cup,

"It's the empress!"

……

Chen time, Yangxin Palace.

The scorching sun in the sky refracted a ray of sunlight through the main hall, making the ground glow golden.

Gu Junshen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked much better except that his face looked a little pale. He had regained his previous wise and brave appearance and was no longer sickly and miserable.

Although I still cough occasionally, the situation has improved a lot.

Sometimes, he would even pretend to cough so that others would have the illusion that he was suffering from a long-term illness.

After a while, Liu Sheng slowly brought the bowl of medicine brought by Nanxiang.

This time when he delivered the medicine, he was more natural. After all, it contained things that were beneficial to the emperor's condition.

"Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine sent some medicine, saying it's for nourishing the body."

Liu Sheng looked at Gu Junshen's face, which looked as if he was facing a great enemy, and held back his laughter, bowing and speaking.

"Why is there more?"

When Gu Junshen saw Liu Sheng bringing up a bowl of something familiar, his face suddenly turned ugly. The painful scene from last night began to emerge in his mind, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"Is it really for nourishing purposes?"

Gu Junshen frowned in sorrow, looking at the bowl of soup on the table that exuded the aroma of medicine, and for a moment he found it difficult to relax.

"Your Majesty. This is what the Imperial Concubine said."

"Okay, get down quickly."

Gu Junshen glanced at Liu Sheng, who was trying not to laugh and had a slightly red face, and spoke with a serious face.

He didn't want his men to see his miserable and extremely painful expression later.

"The slave retire."

After Liu Sheng walked out, Gu Junshen looked straight at the bowl of medicine in front of him.

"Forget it, at worst we can do it again!"

Gu Junshen tried his best to get rid of the painful picture in his mind, picked up the spoon on the table, scooped up the medicine with courage, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.

Then he frowned deeply. Today's cup was even more bitter than yesterday's. Would it be even more painful later?

Looking at the bowl of darker-colored medicine, his originally indifferent expression turned into a hint of sadness.
