Chapter 163: The Night King is dying, Concubine Li is overjoyed
"In my opinion, he may not survive this month."
It is now November 21st, and there are only nine days left in this month.
So, does that mean Luo Junhe is really going to die?
This news made Concubine Li ecstatic, and she couldn't help but smile.
Twenty-two years, she tolerated him for a full twenty-two years.
Luo Junhe, this burden, is finally going to die!
As for the idiot Ji Yuntang, she would tolerate her for a few more days. After Luo Junhe died, she would let her be buried with Luo Junhe.
Concubine Li's face was filled with visibly happy expressions, and she became more fond of Imperial Physician Zhu.
"Doctor Zhu, you have done a good job on this matter. After the Night King is buried, I will advise the Emperor to promote your son to an official position."
Doctor Zhu was delighted, for he knew that Concubine Li had attracted the attention of Emperor Jingyang again, and it was only a matter of time before she gained the emperor's favor. He quickly knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Madam Li Fei. As long as my son can enter the official career, I will work hard for you, even if it means sacrificing my life."
Concubine Li's charming face once again showed a gentle smile, and she said calmly: "Very good, you have worked hard all day, go back and rest early!"
"I know you love drinking tea. I recently got a batch of the best Longjing spring tea. Doctor Zhu, please take it back with you later!"
Concubine Li has always been a resourceful woman. She would use both kindness and force on anyone who could be useful to her, making people grateful for her kindness from the bottom of their hearts.
Doctor Zhu is still useful to her, so she must treat him well.
"Thank you, Empress Li."
After expressing his gratitude, Doctor Zhu took the Longjing spring tea and left with a grateful heart.
He thought that he would definitely be punished for not doing what Concubine Li had asked him to do this time, so he was already prepared to be punished when he came.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li not only did not blame him, but also promised to help his son enter the government as an official, and rewarded him with such good tea. This made Doctor Zhu feel that he was even more important in her heart.
After he left, Concubine Li's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced indifferently at the senior palace maid Jianlan beside her.
"Go and report to the Emperor, and tell him that after Imperial Doctor Zhu went to the Night Prince's mansion to see him, he said that His Highness the Night Prince doesn't have much time left. After I heard the news, I fainted from crying."
"When you say this, look a little sad. Don't let the emperor see that you are deliberately lying to him. Also, find someone to spread this news outside the palace."
"Yes, slaves obey."
Jianlan responded softly. She knew that Concubine Li was going to play up her role of loving and caring for Luo Junhe again, making outsiders think that she was actually very worried about him.
Luo Junhe is not going to live long. After this performance, he will probably die. This is the biggest benefit of Luo Junhe's existence to Concubine Li.
Concubine Li often used Luo Junhe to gain a good reputation for herself, and over the years, she has used Luo Junhe to establish a good image of a loving mother who loves her son dearly.
Jianlan naturally had to cooperate with Concubine Li to perform this scene well.
Emperor Jingyang had been discussing matters with his ministers in the study and had ordered that no one should disturb him. When Jianlan arrived there, she did not see anyone.
She thought about it, turned around and went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace first.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you."
Jianlan knelt on the ground, crying loudly.
"Doctor Zhu went to the Night Prince's Mansion today to check His Royal Highness's pulse. When he came back, he said that His Royal Highness didn't have much time left and might not make it to the end of this month. When Concubine Li heard the news, she fainted from crying."
"Crack." The queen's hand shook as she drank tea, and the teacup slipped from her hand, with broken pieces scattered all over the floor.
Her face was filled with shock and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
How is this possible?
Ji Yuntang had told her some time ago that Luo Junhe was about to recover, so how could he suddenly become so seriously ill?
The queen's heart was beating like a drum. She felt a panic in her heart and an indescribable restlessness and uneasiness.
She wished she could fly to the Night King's Mansion immediately to see what was going on.
Nanny Shen had seen a lot of things. She leaned over to the Queen's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Empress, you and I both know Princess Ye's medical skills. She was able to cure the illnesses of the Seventeenth Prince and this servant. How can she be mediocre?"
"We can't just listen to the maid's one-sided words. We still have to send someone reliable to the Night King's Mansion to take a look."
Nanny Shen's words seemed to have suddenly awakened the queen from her sleep, making her feel much more at ease.
After she realized what was happening, she also felt that there was something wrong with the news.
If Luo Junhe had really gotten into such a big trouble, why was there no movement in the Ye Palace? And why had Ji Yuntang not sent any news to the palace?
These two points are somewhat unreasonable.
After thinking about it, she dismissed Jianlan and decided to ask Luo Qingge to go to the Night King's Mansion in person.
The news that the Night King was terminally ill and would not survive the end of the month spread like a tidal wave, causing huge waves in the Kingdom of Dongchen in just one noon.
People couldn't believe that their beloved God of War Prince would be on the verge of death, with only a few days to live.
But the person who went to the Night Prince's Mansion to take his pulse was Doctor Zhu, the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital, and they couldn't help but believe what he said.
As a result, many people began to curse Ji Yuntang behind his back.
"If I remember correctly, Princess Ye married His Highness the Night King to bring good luck, right? When she was not here, His Highness the Night King was still fine. It's been less than three months, and His Highness the Night King is about to die. Could she be the disaster?"
"Doesn't Princess Ye know medical skills? Why didn't she treat His Royal Highness the Night Prince? Is she really going there for the glory and wealth of the Night Prince's Mansion?"
"She is a concubine who grew up in the countryside. It's a great blessing for her ancestors to marry His Highness the Night King and become his princess. His Highness the Night King has such a disfigured face. How could any girl from an official family be willing to marry him?"
"I think she probably doesn't really like His Highness the Night King. If she doesn't marry him, she will die. The Night King's wife was forced to marry him by the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. Oh! What a sin!"
"..."
Most of the people were there to watch the fun, and they were talking about the affairs of the Night King's Mansion.
Xie Liuzheng was sitting in a restaurant on the second floor of the street, listening to everyone's abuse and slander against Ji Yuntang. The more he listened, the angrier he became!
Finally, he couldn't help but slam the table, stood up angrily, and strode towards the stairs.
Xie Liuzheng changed his usual carefree attitude, swept his cold eyes over the people in the restaurant, and scolded them harshly: "You gossipy women and men, shut up!"
"Did Princess Ye eat your food or drink your water? She doesn't know you at all and doesn't even know who you are. You just heard some news from nowhere and slandered her like this. Do your family members know that you are taking advantage of her misfortune?"
