Chapter 999: Chapter 870: Xiaosuisui Wants to Pluck the Empress Dowager’s Wool

"What did you say?"

The Empress Dowager’s hands started shaking again, not due to the excitement from discovering her beloved son’s Hongluan Star had moved earlier.

But from the full-body tremors after learning her son was injured, filled with worry and anxiety.

Princess Lianchun abruptly stood up from the soft couch and hurriedly ran to the Emperor, anxiously asking.

"You got injured?

How did you get hurt?

Where is the wound?

Is it serious?

Let me see quickly!"

The Emperor tightly grasped his own clothes, hurriedly forcing a smile.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, just a small wound, it’s mostly healed now, Mother, you don’t have to worry."

Princess Lianchun, seeing his desperate attempt to hide his condition, realized things might not be as simple!

Sniffing, a strong smell of medicine entered her nose.

"What do you mean by you’ve healed?

Your body still carries the scent of medicinal concoctions, it seems it’s not completely healed."

Princess Lianchun’s words immediately blocked the Emperor’s response.

Then she shouted at the dazed palace maids inside the palace.

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry and call the Imperial Physician!"

Princess Lianchun was extremely worried, her voice trembling.

Seeing Princess Lianchun like this, the Emperor felt warm inside; his elder sister, just like in their childhood, always put him first!

"I’m fine, elder sister, this injury has been over a month, it was already healing on the way back to the capital, no need for the Imperial Physician."

"You’ve been injured for over a month, and you didn’t even tell me. If Suisui hadn’t slipped up today, I still wouldn’t know!

Look at you, always going outside the palace without reason, and now you’ve encountered an assassin, haven’t you?"

"Mother! I’m really fine now, my injury has healed, there’s no problem anymore."

The Emperor hurriedly explained.

Helplessly gave Xiaosuisui a glance.

Xiaosuisui, looking at the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Princess Lianchun, scratched his head.

Muttered softly: "I seem to have misspoken."

Emperor: Be bold, remove your ’seem’!

The Imperial Physician arrived and, at the insistence of the Empress Dowager, removed the Emperor’s clothes to check his injuries. At this time, indeed, the wounds on the Emperor’s body had already scabbed over, and the scars were barely visible!

"This..." The Imperial Physician examined the scars on the Emperor repeatedly, having a suspicion but not daring to voice it out loud!

The three Rejuvenation Pills treasured within the Great Han Imperial Palace are still preserved in the Imperial Medical Bureau!

So what exactly did His Majesty take if not the Rejuvenation Pill?

"What’s the matter? Speak up, clarify for me, how is the Emperor’s injury?

Is it fully healed?"

The Empress Dowager anxiously questioned the Imperial Physician.

"Your Majesty, compared to the time when His Majesty was gravely injured, it’s fortunate that he took the Divine Medicine Rejuvenation Pill, which preserved his heart meridian.

Afterwards, high-quality hemostatic herbs were used, and with someone meticulously caring for him later, His Majesty’s body is now without major issues!"

Upon hearing the Imperial Physician’s words, both the Empress Dowager and Princess Lianchun couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That’s good, fortunately, you carried a Rejuvenation Pill when leaving the palace, otherwise, you might not have been this fortunate!"

As the Empress Dowager said this, the Emperor was dressing, yet before he could explain, the Imperial Physician spoke.

"Your Majesty! The Rejuvenation Pill His Majesty took is not from the palace; the ones in the palace are still preserved!"

"Not from the palace?

Then where did you get this Rejuvenation Pill from?"

The Empress Dowager looked surprised at the Emperor, amazed that such Divine Medicine could still be found outside the palace!

"The Rejuvenation Pill is Suisui’s; she carries it with her!"

Upon hearing it was Suisui’s Divine Medicine, both the Empress Dowager and Princess Lianchun were astonished.

They stared at Xiaosuisui, forgetting to blink.

Heavens, someone please tell them, how could a five-year-old child carry such a Divine Medicine?

"Come to Grandma!"

The Empress Dowager immediately beckoned Xiaosuisui.

With tiny steps, Xiaosuisui walked over to the Empress Dowager, who swiftly lifted her into her arms.

"Who injured the wound of your Emperor foster father?"

"It was someone named Lu Yunsheng; he was controlled by the Evil God Xunyang."

Xiaosuisui answered without a second thought.

The Emperor wanted to stop her but it was too late!

Princess Lianchun frowned upon hearing Xunyang’s name.

Recalling the times she too had been controlled!

"How does the control happen? Is it the same as with me, controlled by Gu Insects?"
