Chapter 103

Upon seeing the Imperial Physician diagnose Duke of Dingguo's illness, Xiao Chuchu finally closed her eyes peacefully in Wei Zhenghuai's arms.

"It seems everything will be alright."

Xiao Chuchu breathed out a long sigh of relief. She had been through a long day, and now fatigue overtook her. In no time, she fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Yunzhou and Concubine Liu, seeing her worry-free, innocent little face, finally put their worries aside.

Only Duke of Dingguo, with his beard bristling and eyes glaring, still struggled on the bed, "Nonsense! Impossible! You, Imperial Physician, stop talking nonsense! Bring another Imperial Physician for me! I can kill you with one punch. How can I be ill?"

Head Imperial Physician Hu: "......"

"Your Majesty, I will go and write the prescription now."

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand, "Write it, and have someone run to prepare the medicine immediately! It must be quick!"

Wei Zheng took the sleeping little princess to the warm chamber to be looked after by the nursemaid.

Now, Xiao Yunzhou could finally drop his pretense.

Duke of Dingguo, still not feeling anything wrong with him, tried to climb up from the bed.

But Head Imperial Physician Hu, after finishing the prescription, immediately opened his acupuncture bag and started to undress Duke of Dingguo.

"You scoundrel! You're forcing this on me. I feel perfectly fine!"

"It's clearly the emperor who has something..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Duke of Dingguo felt a sudden intense pain in his abdomen.

His Qi and blood surged, his chest felt tight and his ribs hurt, he was almost out of breath.

Thankfully, Head Imperial Physician Hu had already removed the needle, perfectly puncturing Duke of Dingguo's Tianchi acupoint.

Puff-!

Duke of Dingguo coughed up a mouthful of stale blood on the spot!

Everything in front of him turned dark, and finally, he gained a bit of clarity.

Duke of Dingguo, still in shock, heard the emperor whispering on the side.

"I knew it, it can't be wrong. If they said you're going to get ill, you're definitely going to get ill..."

"!"

Duke of Dingguo felt weak all over, and was shocked at the Emperor's words. He struggled to turn his gaze towards Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, who seemed more composed than the Imperial Physician.

Head Imperial Physician Hu was sweating profusely and extremely anxious.

But the Emperor still calmly stood there, hands behind his back.

"Don't panic, stay calm," Xiao Yunzhou still had the strength to comfort Duke of Dingguo.

"Listen to Head Imperial Physician Hu, Duke of Dingguo, you will be fine."

"If treatment is delayed, the damage to your body might be too great, and it will be impossible to recover your morning boxing fitness."

"But it shouldn't be life-threatening."

"Duke of Dingguo, there's no need to worry too much. If we treat it early, the damage will be minimal, and there's a good chance of recovery."

Duke of Dingguo, too weak to speak, just stared at the Emperor.
