The Host in Quick Transmigration Always Wants to Break Her Character

Chapter 149 The Divine Physician and the Regent's Wife (11)

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace of the Huang Kingdom.

Nalan Zhimeng had just finished lunch when she suddenly felt a churning in her abdomen and a metallic taste in her throat.

“Ugh…” Some red, lumpy substances came out of Nalan Zhimeng’s throat.

"Your Majesty..." The palace maid who was serving nearby was terrified when she saw this and hurriedly went to Nalan Zhimeng's side.

Nalan Zhimeng looked at the small red fragments she had vomited, felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she fainted.

"Quickly, go and fetch the imperial physician." One of the head palace maids took the unconscious Nalan Zhimeng and instructed the maids who came in.

The palace maid who had just entered panicked and rushed to the Imperial Hospital.

Some others went to find Huangfu Yaoyu. Right now, the Empress Dowager is the Regent's favorite, and if anything happens to her, none of them will escape death.

A eunuch came and carried Nalan Zhimeng to the bed.

Before long, a royal physician came running over, sweating profusely. He disregarded the difference between men and women and placed his hand on Nalan Zhimeng's hand to take her pulse.

"Greetings, Regent."

Upon receiving the message from the secret guards accompanying Nalan Zhimeng, Huangfu Yaoyu rushed to the palace. As soon as he entered, he saw the imperial physician taking Nalan Zhimeng's pulse.

Extremely anxious, he rushed to Nalan Zhimeng's bedside, looking at her with a face full of heartache.

The moment the imperial physician felt this pulse, he knew he was doomed.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager's internal organs have been damaged by the poison, and there is no way to save her."

After taking the pulse, the imperial physician knelt on the ground and said in a terrified voice.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Yaoyu's eyes turned bloodshot, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, it's too late to save her." The imperial physician didn't dare to look up as he stated his diagnosis.

Huangfu Yaoyu kicked the imperial physician away, causing him to crash into a pillar, vomit blood, and die instantly.

"Nonsense, you quack! Xie Yuan clearly sealed off the spread of the poison for the Empress Dowager, so it's impossible for it to have affected her internal organs."

Then, addressing the head palace maid kneeling beside him:

"Cuilan, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite all the imperial physicians here."

"Yes." The head palace maid, Cuilan, trembled as she accepted the order and went to the Imperial Hospital.

She didn't want to follow in the footsteps of that imperial physician.

Huangfu Yaoyu turned around and looked at the woman lying on the bed with deep affection.

The woman's lips were stained red with blood, her skin was bloodless, and her eyes were tightly closed.

"Zhimeng, don't worry, I won't let you die..."

He held Nalan Zhimeng's hand and said with a determined look.

At this moment, Xuan San had just returned to the Regent's Palace and wanted to go to Huangfu Yaoyu to explain the situation, but was told that Huangfu Yaoyu had gone to the palace.

The matter was of utmost importance, and Xuan San dared not linger for even a moment, heading straight for the palace.

When he found the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw dozens of imperial physicians kneeling below Huangfu Yaoyu, and Xuan San had a bad feeling.

"Incompetent doctors, you are all incompetent doctors. The Empress Dowager has been perfectly healthy and active these past few days, without any discomfort whatsoever."

Huangfu Yaoyu was venting his anger on the imperial physicians below. A bunch of imperial physicians who had been trained at great expense were no match for the quack doctors outside. What use were they?

Although Xuan San was apprehensive, he still went inside.

"Your subordinate greets the Regent."

"Xuan San, you're finally back. Where's Xie Yuan?"

When Huangfu Yaoyu saw Xuan San following Xie Yuan back to the Valley of Divine Physicians, he immediately saw hope.

He quickly pulled Xuan San aside to inquire about Lin Jingyi's situation.

Upon hearing this, Xuan San glanced at the room full of imperial physicians and whispered in Huangfu Yaoyu's ear.

A moment later, Huangfu Yaoyu's eyes turned bloodshot. He grabbed Xuan San's collar and asked through gritted teeth, "What did you just say?"

"Miss Xie... has already perished. It was the people from the Xuan Medical Clinic who did it."

"Whether he's dead or alive, immediately send someone to find Xie Yuan and go to the Valley of Divine Physicians to find a prescription." His Zhi Meng couldn't wait a moment longer.

"Send more people to shut down the clinic."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Xuan San went out to gather his men to search for Xie Yuan and the prescription from the Divine Doctor Valley.

The imperial physicians, kneeling on the ground, trembled, fearing that Huangfu Yaoyu would remember them.

The Empress Dowager has already vomited her internal organs and there is no way to save her. They are afraid that the Regent will be angry and punish them.

"Get out, all of you, get out of here."

Looking at those quack doctors, Huangfu Yaoyu felt irritated and told them to leave.

The imperial physicians, having received their orders, fled as if their lives depended on it.

"Zhi Meng, please don't leave me." Now that the palace was empty, Huangfu Yaoyu dropped his disguise and leaned against Nalan Zhi Meng, tears streaming down his face.

Helpless like a child abandoned by their parents.

"Don't worry, Zhimeng, I will definitely find the murderer who harmed you and I won't let you die."

Huangfu Yaoyu never suspected that Lin Jingyi would tamper with Zhimeng, after all, Zhimeng's symptoms had improved a lot after Xie Yuan gave her acupuncture.

The reason this is happening now is perhaps because the person who poisoned Zhimeng before, seeing that she has been lively and energetic these past few days, has poisoned her again.

In the past few days, Huangfu Yaoyu has been investigating who drugged Nalan Zhimeng. He has a direction but no evidence. Right now, the other party is able to drug Zhimeng silently right under his nose.

He must be a capable person.

With this in mind, Huangfu Yaoyu decided to stop hesitating. Whether it was suspicion or fact, he would not let that person go.

After holding Nalan Zhimeng for a while, Huangfu Yaoyu wiped away his tears and coldly called out, "Someone come here."

"master."

A short while later, someone climbed in through the window.

"Leave two guards to take care of the Empress Dowager; the rest of you, come with me."

Perhaps, finding the person who administered the drug will also lead to finding the antidote.

"Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Yaoyu rushed to the Imperial Study.

He looked like he was about to settle accounts.

The emperor was talking with his trusted ministers when the door was suddenly kicked open, startling him.

When the two trusted ministers saw that the visitor was Huangfu Yaoyu, they immediately shrank to the side and tried to keep their presence to themselves.

The emperor was clearly displeased. Huangfu Yaoyu was kicking the door of his study every now and then and was so rude. Who could tolerate this?

But considering that he was not yet capable of contending with Huangfu Yaoyu, the emperor could only suppress his displeasure.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry... Ah, Huangfu Yaoyu, what are you doing?"

The emperor originally intended to ask Huangfu Yaoyu what he wanted in a gentle manner, but suddenly the guards behind Huangfu Yaoyu drew their swords and pointed them at him, and hurriedly accused Huangfu Yaoyu.

Huangfu Yaoyu was worried about Nalan Zhimeng's condition and didn't want to waste time with the emperor, so he asked directly.

"Give me the antidote?"

The emperor looked puzzled: "What antidote?"

"The antidote for Zhimeng's poisoning."

Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed across the emperor's eyes, but he quickly realized that he was not the one who had done it, and he felt relieved.

"I can not understand what you say."

"Really?" Huangfu Yaoyu took the sword from the guard and held it close to the emperor's neck.

With just a gentle pull, a bloody gash would be cut into that neck.

The emperor knew who did it, and since it wasn't him, he felt less guilty: "I really don't know."

He felt a pang of sadness; he, the ruler of a nation, was being threatened every now and then, his dignity completely shattered.

Seeing the emperor's confident demeanor, Huangfu Yaoyu was somewhat bewildered.

Sheathed his sword and left with his bodyguards.

Seeing that Huangfu Yaoyu had left, the emperor patted his chest and felt relieved.

That madman Huangfu Yaoyu scared him to death.

The two trusted ministers standing nearby also lost interest in discussing things with the emperor, and they trembled as they took their leave.

I'm really afraid of being silenced.

The emperor lost interest and told his ministers to get out of there.

The emperor felt a little better when he thought of Huangfu Yaoyu's beloved woman's impending death.

He had initially intended to tell Xie Yuan not to give that woman the antidote, but before he could even finish speaking, Huangfu Yaoyu took him away.

Now that Huangfu Yaoyu has caused such a commotion, it's clear that the woman doesn't have many days left to live.

Once that woman dies, Huangfu Yaoyu will surely be devastated, and from then on he will be able to seize control of the court.

Thinking of this, the emperor's lips curled up. Fortunately, he had suppressed his panic and hadn't revealed who had poisoned him.

He immediately stared coldly at the doorway, never forgetting the humiliation Huangfu Yaoyu had brought him!

Huangfu Yaoyu left the imperial study and stood outside, somewhat lost, unsure of where to go. The palace guards and eunuchs dared not disturb him and could only watch from afar.

"master."

The bodyguard standing nearby spoke up to remind him.

During this time, he thought of all of Nalan Zhimeng's enemies, but he never expected to find any.

Nalan Zhimeng is gentle and kind, and she is good to everyone. Now that she is the Empress Dowager and has him protecting her, it is even less likely that she would have any enemies.

He could only return to Nalan Zhimeng's palace.

Seeing Nalan Zhimeng struggling to breathe, Huangfu Yaoyu felt a pang of heartache and could hardly breathe.

With trembling hands, I checked her breath and felt relieved once I confirmed she was breathing.

"Master, Imperial Physician Li requests an audience," the guard said to Huangfu Yaoyu as he entered.

"Bring it in."

"This old minister..."

Before Physician Li could even bow, Huangfu Yaoyu stopped him.

"Physician Li, you may dispense with the formalities. Have you come up with a solution?"

If Zhi Meng can hold on until Xuan San sends someone to find the prescription or Xie Yuan, then she will be saved.

Then, Physician Li took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Huangfu Yaoyu.

"This medicine is an antidote I developed, capable of curing most common poisons, but the poison that the Empress Dowager suffered from is quite rare, and this old minister is not confident in its effectiveness..."

Physician Li had long since retired from officialdom, and his current visit to the palace was at the request of the students from the Imperial Medical Academy.

"Old minister, please retire."

Seeing Huangfu Yaoyu accept the porcelain bottle, Physician Li left.

Huangfu Yaoyu dared not trust anyone now. He couldn't guarantee that the medicine sent by Physician Li could cure Zhimeng, or that it would conflict with the toxicity.

He simply can't afford to gamble.

He ultimately did not give the antidote to Nalan Zhimeng.

Nalan Zhimeng finally woke up in the evening.

"Yaoyu, what's wrong with me?" As soon as Nalan Zhimeng opened her eyes, she met Huangfu Yaoyu's worried gaze and asked in confusion.

She didn't feel any discomfort, but thinking about the blood she vomited, Nalan Zhimeng was afraid that she had contracted a terminal illness before the poison was cured.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Huangfu Yaoyu asked softly, without telling Nalan Zhimeng what was wrong.

Nalan Zhimeng chuckled, her face full of sweetness.

"It's nothing serious, I don't feel unwell at the moment."

Huangfu Yaoyu frowned. The imperial physician said that Zhimeng's internal organs had been eroded. How could she not be in pain?
