The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Chapter 5 - A Peculiar Treatment.

Qiang Yong had retired to his room and lay down for a while as his mother asked him. He barely closed his eyes and had dozed for half an hour when he heard two knocks on the bedroom door.
"Your Majesty?" An alarmed voice called out to him. Feeling as if there was a thorn in his throat, the Emperor jumped out of bed in just one leap.

"What there was?" He opened the door and came face to face with one of the Empress Dowager's servants, Hu Long.
"Your Majesty! The Lady's condition has worsened again! She vomited a large ball of blood!"
"WHAT!??WHAT DID THAT IDIOT DO?" The Emperor roared and dashed madly down the corridor, towards the Empress's room.

However, when he got there, the servants had already cleaned the floor and the Empress was already being medicated again, with the second prescription that had a violet tone, and new acupuncture needles were applied to her thin and fragile body. Even Dr. Han Chia was present. Qiang Yong didn't even realize it flew straight to Su Ning's neck, who was busy storing the blood clot in a sterile vial.

Su Ning felt the sharp claws close under his throat and squeeze tightly to the point that his eyes watered. He was pushed against the wall and lifted off the ground. At that moment a small account holder with a black stone fell from his neck. Qiang Yong ignored it while Su Ning panted for air.

"I WARNED YOU, DIDN'T I?" IF YOU TRIED SOMETHING..." Qiang Yong was interrupted by An Shu, who, transforming himself into a snake, stuck himself in the dragon's body, trying in vain to keep him away from the doctor.

"Let him go! Have you gone crazy??? You're going to kill him like this!" An Shu grabbed his arm, also exerting pressure.
"Your Majesty!" The Doctor. Han Chia also intervened, however, without approaching. "I assure you that the Empress is fine! It was just a little residual blood! She is stable again!"
"And what are you doing here then???" The Emperor growled without letting go of the other's neck.

Han Chia's expression was one of distress, his fellow doctor had already turned from red to purple in a few minutes and where the claws were embedded, streams of blood were oozing out.
"I was here long before what happened. I came to see what his opinion was on the case and to see the prescriptions..."
Qiang Yong finally let go of Su Ning, who leaned against the wall, taking large gulps of air.

Then the doctor quickly picked up the chain lying on the floor. An Shu ran to support him and analyzed his injuries. Red marks and small claw holes were clearly marked on his neck.
"Yong-er! I'm fine! Who bothered you about this?" The Empress said, frightened by all this commotion, her eyes wide with concern for the doctor's condition. Qiang Yong rushed towards her, ignoring everything else.

"A-niang, are you really okay? Aren't you in pain?"
"Your Majesty, some medicines have effects like this at the beginning. It's a purge, to remove something harmful from the body." Han Chia explained.
"I believe this is what happened. You said the treatment would last three days, didn't you Su Ning?" He looked at his colleague, who was lightly massaging his neck while the snake demon cleaned the small claw punctures. The young doctor nodded without getting excited even after all that, although he couldn't speak at the moment.

Qiang Yong gradually came back to his senses. He looked into Dr. Han Chia's eyes, his expression hard and cruel.
"I want you to follow this treatment from now on, do you hear me right doctor? And if anything happens to her, you will also be held responsible!"
"Yong-er!" The Empress called out weakly.
"Your Majesty, Lady Empress Dowager." The Doctor. Han Chia spoke up. "I myself came to see the medications that Dr. Su Ning prescribed and I guarantee that there is no element harmful to the Empress' health. If it doesn't do any good, it won't do any harm either! I will accompany you, during these three days, and I will help you whatever is necessary."
