After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

Du Yunsheng nodded in agreement: "Master Qiao, how can we catch this murderer?"

A cold light flashed in Qiao Zhiyu's eyes: "Madam, we can use rumors to lure the murderer out. We deliberately spread rumors that a mysterious palace maid will appear somewhere tonight, and then arrange an ambush."

Du Yunsheng's eyes lit up: "Good idea, let's do it."

That night, rumors spread in the palace, and many palace maids gathered together, talking about it in fear. Du Yunsheng and Qiao Zhiyu led the imperial guards and quietly ambushed the place mentioned in the rumors.

In the deep night, a palace maid in black slowly approached. With a strange light flashing in her eyes, she walked into the ambush circle step by step.

At this moment, Qiao Zhiyu gave an order, and the guards immediately rushed forward and surrounded the maid. The maid was panicked and wanted to struggle, but was easily subdued by the guards.

Du Yunsheng walked up to her and looked at her coldly: "Are you the mysterious palace maid?"

A trace of fear flashed across the maid's eyes, and she finally nodded.

The case was finally solved. When the emperor learned the news, he was very pleased and rewarded Du Yunsheng and Qiao Zhiyu generously.

……

Qiao Zhiyu didn't say anything. He just took out a bone whistle and put it in his mouth and blew it.

The emperor suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and his expression became extremely painful.

He tightly grasped the armrest of the dragon throne, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Seeing this, Du Yunsheng immediately stepped forward and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The emperor endured the pain and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine. Qiao Zhiyu stood aside, his brows knitted, his eyes sharp, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, the atmosphere in the inner hall of the palace became tense. Du Yunsheng was worried and secretly prayed that the emperor would be safe. She turned her head to look at Qiao Zhiyu, her eyes showing a desire for help.

Qiao Zhiyu nodded slightly, indicating that he had noticed something. He walked up to the emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you, which may help ease your pain."

The emperor nodded painfully and motioned for Qiao Zhiyu to continue.

Qiao Zhiyu said: "I heard that there is a magical jade pendant in the General Zhengxi's mansion, which can drive away evil and cure all diseases. Perhaps this jade pendant can help the emperor."

A glimmer of hope flashed across the emperor's eyes, but then he became worried again: "No matter how magical the jade pendant is, it cannot be delivered to the palace immediately. I am extremely anxious at the moment and don't know what to do."

Du Yunsheng couldn't help but ask, "Master Qiao, since you know about this jade pendant, can you go to the general's mansion in person and get it?"

Qiao Zhiyu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Since Madam trusts you so much, I will go and get the jade pendant. However, in order to ensure the safety of the jade pendant, please send a trusted minister to accompany me."

The emperor nodded and turned to look at the minister beside him: "Lord Zhao, what do you think?"

Lord Zhao immediately knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "I am willing to go with Lord Qiao to the General's Mansion to ensure that the jade pendant is safely delivered to the palace."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and Lord Zhao left the inner hall with Qiao Zhiyu.

Du Yunsheng turned to look at the emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Master Qiao and Master Zhao will definitely return safely and bring back the jade pendant to treat your illness."

The emperor nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

On the evening of the second day, Qiao Zhiyu and Lord Zhao returned to the palace with the jade pendant. As soon as they entered the inner hall, the emperor couldn't wait to ask, "Did you get the jade pendant back?"

Qiao Zhiyu held the jade pendant in his palm and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have taken the jade pendant back. Please use it with confidence."

The emperor took the jade pendant, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes, and he held the jade pendant tightly, as if he had grasped the hope of life.

Du Yunsheng looked at the emperor and felt relieved.

The magical power of the jade pendant will surely cure the emperor's illness.

Sure enough, under the effect of the jade pendant, the emperor's condition gradually improved.

……

"Your Majesty, can I help you diagnose your pulse?"

The emperor nodded immediately and put his hand on the table, enduring the pain.

Du Yunsheng quietly took his pulse.

The emperor's wrist trembled slightly under Du Yunsheng's fingertips, and his eyes were full of expectation and trust. Du Yunsheng's face was solemn, and he concentrated on feeling the beating of the emperor's pulse.

After a while, Du Yunsheng slowly withdrew her hand. She gently uttered a sentence: "Your Majesty's pulse is stable, but the poison in your body is deep and needs to be thoroughly cleansed."

The emperor's pain faded slightly after hearing this, and he asked softly, "Yun Sheng, are you sure?"

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, her eyes firm: "I will do my best, but I need to prepare some special herbs, which may take a few days."

The emperor nodded, his eyes showing gratitude: "Then I'll trouble you, Yun Sheng."

At this time, the palace maid came in quietly and brought steaming hot tea. Du Yunsheng poured a cup for the emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea first and take a rest."

The emperor took the teacup and gently blew away the steam. At this time, General Zhengxi's wife Du Yunsheng turned to face everyone. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning everyone present.

"My Lords, His Majesty is in poor health. We need you to take care of the affairs of the palace." Du Yunsheng's voice was crisp, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

The ministers nodded and responded in unison. One of them, Li Gonggong, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, stood up and said, "Madam, don't worry, we will do our best."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in her eyes: "Lord Li, you have always been steady and reliable. I trust you."

The wrinkles on Eunuch Li's face deepened. He nodded slightly and said, "Madam, you are too kind. It is our honor to share your majesty's worries."

At this time, the emperor suddenly said: "Yun Sheng, is there any difficulty with the special medicinal materials you mentioned?"

Du Yunsheng turned around, her eyes clear as water: "Your Majesty, there are several rare herbs among the required herbs, which need to be prepared from the border areas. I have sent someone to go, but the journey is long and it may take some time."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will issue an order to local officials to assist with all efforts and ensure that the medicinal materials are delivered in the shortest possible time."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with gratitude: "Your Majesty is wise."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the palace, and a young eunuch ran in hurriedly, saying breathlessly: "Madam, there is urgent news, an urgent report came from the border, saying that..."

Du Yunsheng frowned, she quickly took the urgent report from the eunuch, unfolded it, and her face suddenly became solemn.

Upon seeing this, the emperor immediately asked, "Yun Sheng, what's wrong?"

Du Yunsheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is news from the border that there are alien movements in the near future, and there seems to be signs of a large-scale invasion."

The emperor's expression also became serious. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Yun Sheng, you step aside first. I want to summon the ministers to discuss this matter."

Du Yunsheng bowed slightly and turned away.
