Chapter 254

Volume 1_Chapter 254: The Imperial Younger Brother Should Also Rest

"System, I want to exchange for a specific medicine to treat coronary heart disease."

Since she now had the qualifications to exchange for medicine, and she had to save Qi Laotaijun right before her, she made this decision as a matter of course.

Mainly, Qi Laotaijun could not wait any longer.

Upon hearing this, the system was silent for a few moments.

Afterwards, a syringe filled with liquid appeared in Yun Qiyue's hand.

This was a specific medicine for coronary heart disease developed in the New Century; it had miraculous effects on coronary heart disease, the kind that could completely cure it.

Yun Qiyue did not hesitate at all; she stepped forward and injected the medicine into Qi Laotaijun's body via intramuscular injection.

After finishing this, Yun Qiyue continued to use her Ghost Hand to examine her, and she was able to discover that Qi Laotaijun's body was repairing itself bit by bit due to the specific medicine.

Only then did Yun Qiyue set her mind at ease; she took medicinal herbs from her space and began to prepare the antidote for the sleeping drug.

With sufficient materials, preparing an antidote was simply a trivial matter for Yun Qiyue.

Very quickly, an incredibly foul-smelling medicine appeared in this relatively enclosed space.

Yun Qiyue simply wanted to die on the spot.

Without hesitation, Yun Qiyue threw the antidote into her space first, then fiddled with things for a while longer.

Then, a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted over; though faint, it was long-lasting and could completely suppress the stench.

With this thing, the shadow of the previous stench could be considered dispersed.

Yun Qiyue first threw the fragrant medicine into her space, then took out the foul-smelling medicine and placed it at the tip of Qi Laotaijun's nose.

After about ten seconds or so, Qi Laotaijun had a reaction.

As Qi Laotaijun slowly regained consciousness, Yun Qiyue quickly threw the antidote back into her space and took out another kind of deodorizing medicine.

By the time Qi Laotaijun was fully awake, she was still a bit dazed: just now, she seemed to have been woken up by a stench, but where was there any stench now?

Not only was there no stench, but that faint medicinal fragrance actually made her feel exceptionally comfortable.

Only when she had completely cleared her head did Qi Laotaijun see Yun Qiyue.

"You..."

Having said only one word, Qi Laotaijun sensed that something was not quite right.

Looking around, Qi Laotaijun finally saw the situation she was in.

At this moment, she was actually locked in an enclosed space with Yun Qiyue.

Although Qi Laotaijun was old, her mind was not muddled; she understood at once what was going on with the situation before her.

Was her own elder sister finally going to tear through the last layer of harmony?

Qi Laotaijun was dazed for a moment.

However, what Qi Laotaijun was concerned about at this moment was another matter.

"Did you do something to me?" Qi Laotaijun asked, her voice devoid of blame, containing only a hint of surprise.

Because she could clearly feel the changes in her body.

Because of her old ailment, she had always felt somewhat tired, and even breathing was very strenuous.

But now, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed, just like when she was young.

There was no one else here, so Qi Laotaijun felt it must have something to do with Yun Qiyue.

When she asked this, there seemed to be a glimmer of expectation in Qi Laotaijun's eyes.

Yun Qiyue could not understand what she was expecting, but she still nodded, "Yes, the ailment in your body has now been removed."

It was not as if it were some deed done without leaving a name, so Yun Qiyue had nothing she could not admit.

Upon hearing this, Qi Laotaijun's face showed gratitude, along with a trace of nostalgia.

Yun Qiyue was just feeling puzzled when she heard Qi Laotaijun say, "Both you and your mother are my life-saving benefactors."

Yun Qiyue was stunned.

Her mother had also saved Qi Laotaijun?

Qi Laotaijun saw Yun Qiyue's confusion and said, "You probably don't know, but your mother also knew medical arts..."

As she spoke, Qi Laotaijun fell into memories.

It turned out that back then, Qi Laotaijun's husband, Sheng Mingzhi, was also a great general of Donglin, guarding the Donglin empire.

At that time, Qi Laotaijun's personality was completely different from that of her elder sister by a different mother.

Qi Taihou was full of talent and was a model for everyone, arguably the head of the noble ladies in the capital.

But Qi Laotaijun loved wielding swords and staves the most.

After marrying Sheng Mingzhi, she even more resolutely followed him on expeditions.

Afterwards, she followed her husband's lead; even after giving birth, Qi Laotaijun never left the border, so much so that Qi Laotaijun's children grew up eating the sand and wind of the border.

Once, during a battle with the Xirong, Sheng Mingzhi led the army on an expedition and did not return for a long time; Qi Laotaijun was worried in her heart and went to rescue him alone, only to encounter the enemy's heart-piercing arrow.

If not for Mu Qingwan, Qi Laotaijun would likely have died long ago.

Yun Qiyue had never known that Qi Laotaijun and her mother had such a connection.

Or rather, Yun Qiyue had never known that her own mother was also someone who knew medical arts.

The two did not say much more.

Because both were clever women, and both understood their current predicament.

Qi Taihou had drugged them, and they did not know for what purpose.

Now, what they needed to do was get out as quickly as possible and stop Qi Taihou's conspiracy.

And at this moment, the atmosphere in the imperial court was tense.

All the officials were gathered in the court, none of them daring to breathe loudly, and the atmosphere was heavy.

It was only because the Regent, who usually did not attend court often, was standing in the court at this moment, releasing cold air from his entire body.

The ministers now wished they were dreaming.

Because, just a moment ago, the Emperor had actually asked the Regent to give up his position as Regent in front of all the officials.

This...

Didn't the Emperor always revere the Regent? Why did he suddenly ask the Regent to abdicate?

The Emperor, was he not afraid of the Regent? Some ministers thought such treasonous thoughts in their hearts.

Even though the Emperor hid it extremely well, those with discerning eyes could see that the usual Emperor was most afraid of the Regent.

It was precisely because of this that the Emperor challenging the Regent early in the morning made the various ministers feel that today's world was surreal.

And the Regent's long silence and the cold air he kept emitting made the various ministers even more afraid.

"Does the Emperor know what you are saying?"

Finally, Ye Lanjue spoke.

His voice was as cold and sharp as ever.

Xuanyuan Kun's heart was trembling.

The fear of Ye Lanjue was carved into his bones.

After all, Ye Lanjue's various methods could be described as extremely ruthless.

But upon second thought, Xuanyuan Kun thought of the person behind him, and that bit of trembling was cast to the back of his mind by Xuanyuan Kun, and he appeared much more confident.

"I naturally know what I am saying." Xuanyuan Kun steadied his mind, his tone as calm as possible, "Imperial Younger Brother, now that Donglin is stable, and you have worked hard for so long, it is time to rest. How does Imperial Younger Brother feel about this proposal of mine?"
