Chapter 489: Unparalleled Divine Doctor (19) 3rd Update

Liao Mingxin, since traversing into the pages of this book, had resolved not to be the cannon fodder supporting character.

She had no intention of involving herself in the protagonists’ lives either.

Yet to her surprise, without provoking these characters, Ye Shaohua insistently bumped into her, time and again.

The Emperor naturally took great concern in the Empress Dowager’s illness, and he had also investigated Liao Mingxin’s background, mainly for her. This time, sending the favored consort to Jiangnan was principally for the sake of Liao Mingxin. Who could have known that the consort would actually bring Ye Shaohua back?

Now hearing Liao Mingxin speak of a cerebral hemorrhage, he did not understand what that meant, but seeing Liao Mingxin’s confident demeanor, he directly allowed her to enter, following her himself.

Ye Shaohua frowned as Liao Mingxin’s assistant, who also served as her handmaid Jiujiu, came up to squeeze past Ye Shaohua, giving her a smug look.

Ye Shaohua: "..."

Cerebral hemorrhage? Non-traumatic hemorrhage caused by the rupture of blood vessels within the brain tissue itself.

Was there anything unknown about it?

In the modern world, such an ailment would require cerebrospinal fluid and routine blood tests, along with neurological imaging, discussed and researched by several experts before a conclusion could be reached.

Liao Mingxin had merely diagnosed the Empress Dowager’s condition based on what she had seen and heard, without any substantiation.

Setting aside whether it was a cerebral hemorrhage, even if it were, the success rate of such surgery was extremely low in the modern era. In ancient times, could she really cut open the Empress Dowager’s head and draw out the congestion?

Ye Shaohua heard Liao Mingxin’s haughty words and almost laughed out of anger, but she couldn’t bring herself to laugh.

Because she realized that the poison that had struck the Empress Dowager was very similar to the one affecting Chu Yunmo and others.

This poison was exceedingly aggressive; it was one thing for it to afflict a person or two, but now even the Empress Dowager was struck with such venom. It must have been part of a premeditated political coup.

And Ye Bozhong had become a casualty of this coup.

Sikong Mingchen, who had recommended Ye Shaohua, saw that the Emperor did not even glance at her and his complexion changed momentarily. He knew all too well how superb Ye Shaohua’s medical skills were—as demonstrated by his own mother and fourth brother.

Yet the eunuchs and the Emperor himself did not trust the daughter of the Imperial Physician who had made an error once before.

Sikong Mingchen wanted to say something, but his current status in palace was too low to have a voice.

Had it not been for his fourth brother, whether he and his mother could remain safe within the palace was questionable.

Despite the years, he had gotten accustomed to it.

Yet upon seeing Ye Shaohua standing to the side, he still felt an unbearable discomfort.

Little did he know, Ye Shaohua was not worried at all.

Liao Mingxin had already been in the Empress Dowager’s palace for some time. At first, she was full of confidence. Although the Empress Dowager’s surgery for a cerebral hemorrhage seemed difficult in others’ eyes, it did not faze her.

Because she had a secret. After her traversal, she gained a golden finger— the Spiritual Spring.

This spring was highly beneficial, strengthening the body and accelerating recovery. That was the reason she always looked down upon Ye Shaohua’s wound medicines.

She knew that the spring must not be revealed in front of others, so she had been using it only on her son, Liao Lin.

She had also instructed Liao Lin not to mention it to anyone else.

Her son naturally obeyed her, not even telling Sikong Mingxuan.

As expected, Liao Lin had grown into a prodigy. Otherwise, how could a child of merely five years have so rapidly become such a formidable expert in martial arts?

However, after she horrifically opened the Empress Dowager’s head, she realized she could not see the minute wounds within.

Her hand involuntarily trembled.

How... how could this be?!

At the same time, she noticed that the Empress Dowager’s pale complexion was starting to turn blue-black.

Her speciality was cardiology, and she had no research on ancient poisons. In fact, she didn’t need to in the modern era; any poison could simply be taken to a hospital for analysis to be understood.

The modern world was too convenient.

And thus, those doctors gradually forgot some of the knowledge of their ancestors.

Ancient physicians could discern what kind of poisoning one suffered from just by looking at their complexion and feeling their pulse, and they could manipulate both toxic and medicinal properties of Traditional Chinese Medicine effortlessly.

Liao Mingxin was no exception.

When the situation veered beyond her expectations, she was indeed shocked. Although the Spiritual Spring healed the Empress Dowager’s wound and even accelerated her blood circulation, it left behind a horrifying wound, and bloodstains on the pristine white cloth were glaringly obvious.

The Emperor, of course, could not rest easy with Liao Mingxin alone; he waited outside the screen, accompanied by several Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital.

Upon seeing the Empress Dowager’s condition, they instantly panicked.

"This... this is poisonous gas attacking the heart!" The Imperial Physicians remembered Ye Shaohua’s words. Now seeing the Empress Dowager in this state, they hastened to feel her pulse and check her breath by placing their hands near her nose.

After checking, their legs went weak.

Seeing the Emperor hurry in, without saying a word, they collapsed in exhaustion, kneeling down!

"Your Majesty, we deserve to die ten thousand times!" The Imperial Physicians knocked their heads on the ground, their eyes filled with desolation, "Indeed as Lady Ye said, the Empress Dowager has been poisoned. The poison has now attacked her heart, and there is... nothing we can do."

Although they were not the main physicians, they had followed Liao Mingxin inside. Now with the Empress Dowager in this state, they naturally expected the Emperor’s wrath, fearing they would not live past three days.

They only hoped that this time the Emperor would not direct his anger at their families.

Although Liao Mingxin’s Spiritual Spring was miraculous, it could heal the Empress Dowager’s wound and stimulate faster blood circulation.

Yet unknown to her, faster-circulating blood, if related to other ailments or a cerebral hemorrhage, would have left the Empress Dowager unharmed.

But unfortunately... the Empress Dowager had been poisoned. The original stagnant poison within her body, now propelled by flowing blood, entered straight into her internal organs!

"Thump—"

The Emperor knelt beside the Empress Dowager’s bed, his eyes already reddened, "Mother... Mother!"

Although the Empress Dowager had been comatose for several months, she had been stable. But now... she had ended up like this.

"Someone! Drag them all away!" The Emperor clenched his fists. His gaze towards Liao Mingxin was fully twisted.

All present knew, none of the attending physicians today could escape.

This was the Emperor’s fickle heart.

Unfathomable.

"Starting to vent anger again, is it?" Just as the palace guards were about to escort Liao Mingxin and the Imperial Physicians away, a voice suddenly came from outside the doors.
