Chapter 541: Chapter 463 Emperor Liang Dotes on Treasure Piggy the Most_3

Lu Yuan feigned confusion as he asked, "Oh? Could it be that your medical skills are lacking? You can’t even diagnose what illness I have?"

Gongsun Liuying’s eyes flashed with sharpness, "I can diagnose it. Young Master Linyuan has a cold syndrome. His body aches, he can’t eat or sleep peacefully—all because the syndrome has invaded his internal organs and bones."

Lu Yuan thought to himself, "She’s really good at making things up."

The Empress exclaimed, "Cold syndrome? Liuying, is this illness serious?"

Gongsun Liuying replied without changing her expression, "It’s practically an incurable disease unless there’s Red Ganoderma from Miaojiang Witch Mountain. However, to my knowledge, all the Red Ganoderma from Witch Mountain has already been used to treat Great Zhou’s Grand Commander."

The Empress looked shocked, "The Grand Commander also suffers from cold syndrome?"

Their conversation flowed seamlessly, perfectly coordinated.

It was as if they just needed to write "Lu Linyuan is Lu Yuan" in big letters across his forehead.

Lu Yuan said, "What cold syndrome? I’ve never heard of it. You wouldn’t have misdiagnosed me, would you?"

Lu Zhaoyan asked, "Yuan’er merely has some minor ailments. Miss Gongsun, are you not being a bit too hasty in your judgment?"

Lu Yuan added, "That’s right. Is your medical expertise reliable or not?"

Only they could be so coordinated?

Let me show you what father-and-son teamwork looks like.

Gongsun Liuying said arrogantly, "In Liang Country, if my medical skills rank second, no one would dare claim first."

As soon as her words landed, a little eunuch appeared at the door and whispered something to Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu hurriedly entered the inner hall, "Your Majesty, something has happened."

Emperor Liang frowned, "What is it?"

Eunuch Yu replied, "Lady Hui’s grandnephew was scratched by Noble Consort’s white cat. Lady Hui brought people into Noble Consort’s chambers intending to kill the cat, and now there’s an uproar."

Lu Yuan quietly remarked, "High-level scheming."

Lu Zhaoyan whispered, "Wasn’t me."

Lu Yuan asked suspiciously, "Didn’t you say you had a plan?"

Lu Zhaoyan twitched the corner of his mouth, "I did arrange something, but I set the plan for Princess Yu, not Lady Hui."

Lady Hui’s status is noble, even Prince Jin wouldn’t bother flattering her. How could I possibly have the ability to bribe her into acting?

Emperor Liang told Eunuch Yu, "Take Miss Gongsun to Lady Hui’s palace first to save the child."

"Understood."

Eunuch Yu quickly turned to Gongsun Liuying, "Miss Gongsun, please follow this old servant."

Gongsun Liuying steadied herself and followed Eunuch Yu out of Kunning Palace.

Lady Hui has a fiery temperament. When she causes trouble, she can truly overturn the harem.

Emperor Liang immediately headed to Noble Consort Hu’s residence.

When men fight, one punch from each side can resolve it.

But when women tear into each other, Emperor Liang was completely powerless.

It took him tremendous effort to separate Noble Consort Hu and Princess Consort Hui.

Noble Consort Hu was scratched until her face swelled with bruises and turned purple, completely enraged.

"Your Majesty—"

She began sobbing, ready to lodge a complaint immediately.

But before she could speak, bad news came from Lady Hui’s palace—Gongsun Liuying had made Lady Hui’s little grandnephew faint with a needle.

Noble Consort Hu stopped caring about fighting with Lady Hui and asked blankly, "She... she made him faint? What does that mean?"

"The Hu family! If anything happens to my Nie’er, I will demand your children’s lives in return!"

Princess Consort Hui declared with killing intent, then hurried back to her palace to check on Nie’er.

At this time, it had been just over half an hour since Gongsun Liuying entered the palace.

The Pavilion Master’s carriage stopped at the courtyard gate of Elder Yan.

A disciple said, "Elder Yan, the Pavilion Master urgently summons you to the palace."

Elder Yan glanced back at Meng Qianqian, who was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard.

This girl predicted it correctly.

In less than an hour, Gongsun Yanming indeed sent someone to bring her to the palace.

Meng Qianqian asked softly, "Master, are you taking me with you?"

Lady Yan took Meng Qianqian into the palace.

Gongsun Yanming saw her bringing her disciple but said nothing.

A master bringing their pupil to the palace to broaden horizons is only natural.

Besides, Meng Qianqian was carrying Lady Yan’s medicine chest—such a precious item should not be entrusted to other disciples recklessly.

Yet, as Gongsun Yanming brushed past Meng Qianqian, he inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

He turned back to glance at Meng Qianqian’s retreating figure, his brows tightly furrowed.

The Empress dragged her "ailing body" to Princess Consort Hui’s palace, where Noble Consort Hu was also present.

Noble Consort Hu hadn’t wanted to come, but since Gongsun Liuying was her future granddaughter-in-law, she suspected Lady Hui was deliberately targeting Gongsun Liuying, so she came to take a look.

To her surprise, the child truly was unconscious.

The Imperial Physicians dared not act carelessly.

After all, the child fainted under Gongsun Liuying’s hand. If something truly went wrong, the responsibility would fall on her.

But if the child died under the Imperial Physicians’ care, even a hundred heads wouldn’t be enough to compensate.

Lady Yan brought Meng Qianqian into the room.

At this moment, no one noticed the disciple of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion standing beside Lady Yan.

Lady Yan said sternly, "The young master requires acupuncture; I ask everyone to step out."

Little Master’s wet nurse pointed an accusing finger at Gongsun Liuying, shouting, "Earlier, she told us to step out, and then the young master—"

"Has no pulse anymore,"

Meng Qianqian said while holding Nie’er’s wrist.

Lady Yan snapped angrily, "Don’t just stand there! Leave immediately! Do you want him to die?"

Princess Consort Hui ordered firmly, "Everyone, follow me out!"

The crowd left the room.

Lady Yan used her hand to open the child’s eyelids and examined his pupils, her expression growing heavy, "The situation is critical. You should leave too."

Meng Qianqian held Lady Yan’s hand as she reached for the silver needle, and said each word with resolute clarity, "I will save him."
