Jiang Chen saw the imperial physician's silence and immediately roared:

'Are my words no longer effective? Why don't you answer?'

The head physician trembled all over from the roar, kneeling down in fear, stammering, 'Your Majesty, this old official dares not, but the situation of Noble Consort Shu is beyond my understanding, so I dare not report it rashly.'

As he spoke, his voice was tinged with confusion, 'Today at si hour (9-11 AM), Noble Consort Shu suddenly fainted in her palace, her breathing weak. After this old official arrived, I used dozens of methods, but none could wake her. This bizarre situation is the first time I've encountered it, and I haven't been able to…'

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was extremely anxious and couldn't help but rebuke, 'Don't know? Can't do anything? Then what's the use of me keeping you imperial physicians?!'

Faced with the emperor's questioning, the head physician was speechless.

He could only kowtow repeatedly, begging His Majesty to calm down.

Jiang Chen was in no mood to pay attention to him.

Ignoring his newly recovered body, he was about to get out of bed to find Noble Consort Shu.

At this moment, Jing Yue, who was guarding him, spoke up, frowning, 'Your Majesty, the toxins in your body have just been cleared, and you need to rest. This subordinate can visit Noble Consort Shu on your behalf.'

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, his thick eyebrows furrowing.

'Poisoned?'

'What poison, and who administered it?'

While questioning, Jiang Chen already had a guess in his heart.

Those who could poison him amidst heavy guards, apart from the Mei family, would only be Xu Jiaying.

But there wasn't enough information for him to make a final judgment.

Jing Yue lowered her head, ashamed, 'This subordinate has not yet found out who poisoned you.'

'However, your symptoms after being poisoned are very similar to those of Noble Consort Shu, both falling into a coma, followed by a weakening of breath. Therefore, this subordinate suspects that the reason you were poisoned, Your Majesty, was because you were affected by Noble Consort Shu.'

'During this period, you have been accompanying the Noble Consort, eating and living together, perhaps this is why you came into contact with the source of the poison and were infected with the toxins.'

'The person behind the scenes really wants to harm Noble Consort Shu!'

A sharp light shot out from Jiang Chen's eyes. Someone wants to harm Yun'er?

Then Xu Jiaying's suspicion could be ruled out.

Realizing this.

A chill rose in Jiang Chen's heart.

The Mei family, this poisonous snake, is hiding too deeply!

He had already cleansed the harem once, but the Mei family still had hidden forces that could be used!

For a time, Jiang Chen looked around, finding everyone suspicious.

This abnormal behavior made Jing Yue worried, and she asked with concern:

'Your Majesty, are you worried about Noble Consort Shu? If so, you can rest assured.'

'After Noble Consort Shu fainted, this subordinate sent secret guards to protect her. Any abnormality will be reported immediately.'

Hearing this, Jiang Chen put away the absurd thoughts in his mind and said in a deep voice:

'Jing Yue, send someone now to bring Yun'er here. Only the Qin Zheng Hall (Hall of Diligent Governance) is barely safe in the current palace.'

'Yes!'

Jing Yue accepted the order, then turned her head and summoned a young man from the darkness.

Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and looked at the imperial physicians on the ground.

'You two come here, I ask you, what exactly is going on with this poison?'

'You can cure me, why can't you cure the Noble Consort?'

The two imperial physicians looked at each other, and finally the head physician braced himself and explained the reason again.

Jiang Chen frowned as he listened, and said coldly:

'Listening to you, are you telling me to let my Noble Consort Shu wait for death?'

The two men looked bitter, stammering for a long time, not daring to respond.

Obviously, they were at a loss.

Jiang Chen's heart was cold, unwilling to believe this result.

He and Noble Consort Shu had just confirmed their feelings and were preparing to spend their lives together, but such an accident happened, how could he accept it?

Seeing this, the two imperial physicians were extremely panicked, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, saying:

'Your Majesty, this official has done his best, I hope you understand!'

These days, in order to detoxify Noble Consort Shu, they hadn't slept a wink and had lost most of their hair, but they still couldn't find a clue and were really helpless.

Jing Yue looked at Jiang Chen's pale face, feeling very sad. A hint of helplessness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said, 'Your Majesty, the matter of Noble Consort Shu can be entrusted to this subordinate.'

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of light burst out in Jiang Chen's eyes.

He grabbed Jing Yue's shoulder and asked in disbelief, 'Really?'

Jing Yue nodded, 'The previous commander of the dark guards once showed kindness to a divine doctor. If we find him, this poison will surely be cured.'

If it weren't for her concern for Jiang Chen, Jing Yue wouldn't have revealed this secret.

After all, the divine doctor only offers his services once, and using it on a concubine in the harem would undoubtedly be a waste.

But Jiang Chen didn't think too much.

Under great joy and great sorrow, he had no time to think about these trivial matters.

'Good, since that's the case, take my waist tag and set off immediately to invite this divine doctor into the palace!'

Jing Yue nodded, then worriedly said, 'Your Majesty, the situation in the imperial capital is chaotic now. If this subordinate leaves, you must protect yourself!'

'Those ministers in the court, and the noble clansmen…'

'Don't worry, I am the true dragon emperor, how can I not defeat these petty villains?' Jiang Chen's tone was domineering, revealing confidence.

He patted Jing Yue on the shoulder and comforted her, 'I have a lot on my shoulders and will not easily get into trouble. Go ahead and rest assured. When you return, I will take the heads of those treacherous officials to welcome you!'

Jing Yue was stunned, then nodded heavily and disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction she disappeared, his eyes filled with deep trust.

With the biggest crisis resolved, he can now deal with the rebellious officials with peace of mind!

Two days later, the inner hall of the Qin Zheng Hall.

Noble Consort Shu, who had been in a coma for a long time, was lying flat on the bed.

Her face was pale to the point of transparency, her breathing was weak, and it seemed like she would stop in the next second.

Jiang Chen sat by the bed, holding her cold jade hand, gazing at her face, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes.

Counting from the day of detoxification, he had been guarding Noble Consort Shu for two days and one night, without closing his eyes in between, and his physical strength had been overdrawn to the limit.

'Yun'er, you can't die, you haven't been crowned Empress yet, you haven't given birth to children for me, you haven't seen me rule the world… So many wishes have not been fulfilled, how can you leave? How can you abandon me?!'

Jiang Chen whispered, his voice hoarse.

These days, he had been trying to talk to Noble Consort Shu, hoping to wake her up, but there had been no results.

But Jiang Chen didn't plan to give up.

The woman on the bed was the wife he had identified, the person he wanted to spend his life with. Even if the hope was slim, he had to try!

'Yun'er, can you hear me?'

'I have been waiting for you, waiting for you to wake up. I am too tired and want you to talk to me about everyday things…'

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chen suddenly saw a crystal tear flowing from the corner of Noble Consort Shu's eye, and he instantly lost his voice.

These words, Yun'er, Yun'er actually heard them?!

Just as Jiang Chen was stunned, Noble Consort Shu's tightly closed beautiful eyes slowly opened.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but a smile hung on her lips: 'Your Majesty, Yun'er, Yun'er is awake… As long as, as long as you speak, no matter when or where, Yun'er will risk her life to overcome all difficulties and stay by your side.'

Noble Consort Shu's voice was very weak, but the unwavering determination in her eyes shocked Jiang Chen.
