Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 546.2: Using Life to Gamble for a New Opportunity

Did Noble Consort Su want to see Li Hong Yuan? Of course not. That foster son that she ultimately discovered that she actually didn’t understand in the slightest, if he really were to come, then what she had built up will very likely get ruined by him. She was certain that Li Hong Yuan won’t come see her, that’s why she would put on such an act, appearing as if extremely wanting to meet, but for the other party’s sake, she can endure the pain and not meet. This way, the image she built will be even more secure, and at the same time, also smear that lowly spawn’s image.

“Alright, alright, all listen to you, don’t talk anymore.”

Noble Consort Su closed her eyes, seemingly as if she will fall into an eternal slumber.

Le Cheng Emperor was fretful in all kinds of ways, and the imperial physicians were also still trying to save her with all their power, but for the time being, because of being uncertain what kind of poison it was, they could only use the most conventional method, which clearly didn’t have any effect.

Seeing that the bleeding still hadn’t stopped, Le Cheng Emperor loudly reprimanded the imperial physician for being useless, having the person kicked aside, nearly ordering someone to have the person dragged out and executed.

Li Hong Ming entered the palace very quickly. Clearly he’d been informed later, yet he arrived in Yucui Palace ahead of Gong Jiu.

Because worried about his consort mother, that’s why he disregarded everything, rushing to enter the palace. “Consort mother, consort mother.” Li Hong Ming urgently ran in, completely disregarding his bearing.

In his eyes and heart, there seemingly was just Noble Consort Su. Rushing to Noble Consort Su’s side, he even disregarded Le Cheng Emperor, “Consort mother, consort mother, how are you?” He carefully reached out, seemingly wishing to touch her, yet also didn’t dare to, just fearing that the slightest touch would hurt her. “Consort mother, it’s this son, please look at me, alright? Consort mother…….”

A grown man’s tears also rapidly tumbled down in that moment.

All say men do not cry easily, let alone a prince, but at this time, no one would criticize him.

Le Cheng Emperor watched from the side, feeling incomparably sad. The was once the woman he loved, and the son he was the most optimistic about.

Le Cheng Emperor couldn’t help but reach out and pat his shoulder, “Your consort mother definitely will be fine.”

“Imperial father….” Li Hong Ming’s lips trembled, seemingly just noticing Le Cheng Emperor, “This son just now had lost one’s bearing.”

“What time is it now, to still be bothered about etiquette and whatnot?”

“Ming’er?” Noble Consort Su softly called out, wanting to open her eyes, yet her eyelids were like heavy gold, “Your Majesty, this consort, this consort seemingly heard Ming’er’s voice.”

“Consort mother, consort mother, it’s this son, I’ve come, I’ve come.” Li Hong Ming grabbed Noble Consort Su’s hand.

Noble Consort Su strenuously opened her eyes, “Prior to death, to be able to see you one last time, consort mother, consort mother is……….”

TN: All

“Consort mother, don’t say nonsense, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine. ————Imperial physician, where’s the imperial physician? Imperial father, what did the imperial physician say, what did they say? How come unable to see a single person?” Li Hong Ming somewhat hysterically roared, and because he was talking to Le Cheng Emperor, it just like as if he was yelling at Le Cheng Emperor.

However, Le Cheng Emperor this while also won’t mind, “The blade carried poison, and ordinary detox methods don’t work. The imperial physicians are currently investigating the poison. It’s only possible to cure with the right prescription.”

The words that were about to come out of Li Hong Ming’s mouth got ruthlessly swallowed back. Clenching his teeth, the veins on his forehead violently protruded.

“Your Majesty, your Majesty, Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor has arrived.” The palace servant outside hurriedly reported.

“Quickly have the person called in.” Le Cheng Emperor and Li Hong Ming simultaneously opened their mouth.

Gong Jiu walked and was just about to greet when Li Hong Ming came forward and grabbed him, using all his strength to have him pulled over, “Quick, quickly save my consort mother!” There were still tear stains on his face.

Gong Jiu subconsciously wanted to shake off Li Hong Min, and if he really were to, it can be accomplished with ease, yet in the end, he endured.

Gong Jiu took Noble Consort Su’s pulse, “Asking your Majesty to please move aside.”

The person was about to die, and it’s not like you all were doctors, so what use is there circling around.

Le Cheng Emperor this while was very obedient, his movement also very swift.

Gong Jiu unhesitantly sat down in Le Cheng Emperor’s original position, spreading out his needle set. A row of shining sliver needles, his fingers sweeping over them, subsequently extracting one. Just as Gong Jiu was about to start, he suddenly paused, “Your Majesty, her Highness has lost too much blood, some coagulating into lumps. To avoid it from causing problems, one might need to touch her Highness’s body.”

In regards to the etiquette between man and woman, even if the other party was an old woman, she was still the emperor’s woman after all. That’s why, one still needed to guard against Le Cheng Emperor’s possessiveness from causing trouble, explaining clearly in advance, even better if don’t need to treat.

“In the eyes of a doctor, isn’t it just patients, not having the distinction between man and woman?” Le Cheng Emperor was very righteous and solemn.

Just don’t know whether or not the thought inside was actually: ‘In any case already this old, even if she recovers, this emperor won’t sleep with anyways, so doesn’t matter if she gets touched by another man. Besides, it’s not like it was giving him a green hat to wear.’

“Many thanks imperial father.” Li Hong Ming really was scared that Le Cheng Emperor would give up on the treatment.

It was obvious, this while, Le Cheng Emperor’s IQ was still working. For better or worse, she’d saved his life, to not treat because of this, standing from the perspective of a man, perhaps it would be understood, but standing before reason, it nevertheless won’t be excused.

Having permission, Gong Jiu no longer hesitated, having Noble Consort Su’s clothes ripped open a little. It was also just a blurry patch of bloody flesh, unable to see the skin. Shortly after, his left hand slightly felt around near the wound, the silver needle in his right hand steadily landing.

With the situation at present, clearly the first step was to stop the bleeding, else it was likely that before even receiving the cure for the poison, Noble Consort Su would’ve just died from excess blood loss first.

Gong Jiu’s skill in stopping the bleeding with the silver needles can be said to have reached perfection. After a few needles, something that a bunch of imperial physicians weren’t able to accomplish, he easily accomplished. Afterwards, Gong Jiu took out from his own medicine case the prepared disinfecting alcohol, cotton for medical use, and a pair of tweezers.

It was obvious, these things also originated from Jing Wan’s mouth. It wasn’t anything too difficult either. When she mentioned, the people under Li Hong Yuan naturally were able to prepare.

Gong Jiu had the things causally handed to Li Hong Ming, “Use this to clean her Highness’s wound. Remember not to touch the silver needles.”

Gong Jiu went and wrote out several prescriptions, and after explaining to Le Cheng Emperor’s people, he just no longer involved himself.

Noble Consort Su’s palace maid cleaned the wound for her, but clearly they’ve never done this kind of thing before. Originally, they could agilely handle the embroidery needle with ease, yet this while, they were incomparably clumsy, making one anxious from watching. Moreover, Gong Jiu just stopped the bleeding for Noble Consort Su, but didn’t numb the pain. Pouring on the alcohol, the stinging pain brought about caused Noble Consort Su to cry out in pain, her complexion pale without a trace of blood.

The palace maid’s hand shook even more violently, fearing that she’d hurt her master.

——Obviously, Gong Jiu could’ve numbed the pain for her. When doing surgery back in the northwest, didn’t he precisely use the silver needles to numb the pain. Clearly, it was because the other party was at odds with his own master, so he deliberately didn’t. He couldn’t use other means, but this was just a small matter.

“What’s going on? What is this thing? Consort mother wasn’t like this earlier.” Li Hong Ming grabbed Gong Jiu’s collar, questioning in a hostile manner.

Gong Jiu not that politely pulled apart Li Hong Ming’s hand, “Third prince calm down, this is to prevent her Highness’s wound from swelling and becoming infected. It’s just increasing the pain level, but aside from this, there won’t be any influence. This also can’t be helped.” He indifferently explained, and the address towards Li Hong Ming, that was purely just trying to disgust him.

Li Hong Ming’s face darkened, yet unable to say anything. He got reduced to a commoner, losing his nobility. Under normal circumstances, getting addressed as a prince, that was already giving him face. A prince’s status was much more noble than a commoner. It was merely just that Le Cheng Emperor didn’t issue a decree to have him expelled from the imperial clan.

However, it was obvious, after Li Hong Ming went down, he still didn’t learn. The things that existed in his bones still didn’t get erased, else he should know, don’t easily offend a doctor, especially a highly skilled doctor not in one’s control. When one day you need him, he can just soundlessly kill you.

Just, in Le Cheng Emperor’s eyes, there was also a trace of doubt, “The noble consort previously all wasn’t like this.”

“Replying to your Majesty, her Highness was inflicted with a special kind of snake venom. At first, the wound will be numbed, so unable to feel pain. Just, after a period of time, this kind of paralysis will disappear. Her Highness right now clearly has already passed that time. This kind of pain is still within a normal person’s tolerance level, so asking your Majesty to not worry.”

Le Cheng Emperor nodded, no longer opening his mouth.

Gong Jiu coldly watched, “It’s best to move quickly. Her Highness’s situation right now cannot afford to be delayed.”

Upon hearing this, the palace maid also panicked, but the more she worried, the more she panicked, and the more she panicked, the more clumsy her hands became. The alcohol nearly got overturned. The palace maid instantly knelt on the ground in fear, “Your Majesty, please forgive, wangye, please forgive.”

Le Cheng Emperor and Li Hong Ming’s complexion were both dark and sinister. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“Get lost, useless thing. ——–Gong Jiu, it’s best for you to do it.”

“Yes.” Picking up the tweezers, he pinched a piece of cotton, dipping in alcohol, and directly wiping Noble Consort Su’s wound, his movement clean and swift, but at the same time, it also wasn’t the least bit gentle. Even for that cut, he also directly had the cotton shoved in.

Li Hong Ming, seeing him being this rough, clenched his two fists, “Vile commoner, how dare you, to actually dare be this underhanded!” And that fist subsequently swung out. In his eyes, Gong Jiu was someone of Jin Qinwang Manor, so he didn’t have any good intentions.

Gong Jiu avoided and expressionlessly looked at Li Hong Ming, “If unable to take care of cleanly, then the one to suffer will just be her Highness. How about wangye come do it yourself?” It’s not like he was a real commoner, so how could Gong Jiu bend the knee. He not only has his master behind him, he was also very confident in his own abilities, so he simply wasn’t scared of Li Hong Ming.

“Old three, quietly stay put, don’t cause trouble.”

After cleaning up the wound, Gong Jiu carefully took Noble Consort Su’s pulse again. Her lungs were indeed injured, but it wasn’t considered serious. However, it was also more than enough to be fatal. Gong Jiu right now still hasn’t reached the level where he can do surgery on the internal organs. Whether or not Noble Consort Su can survive, it’ll completely depend on her luck. As for the poison, it was actually secondary. Knowing what kind of poison it was, and knowing how to cure it, as long as it’s cured within the effective period, then there was nothing to worry about.

The reality of the matter, Gong Jiu also explained to Le Cheng Emperor as such, so as to avoid him needing to come shoulder the responsibility of Noble Consort Su’s death.

“You have that ability, yet never mind deliberately making excuses, to even shift the responsibility at this time, sure enough you really………”
