TPE Chapters 27-28

Chapter 27 

Jiang Si’s period came a few days late this month, and she was suffering from some cramps. She got Qingbi to get her a hot water bottle [1], then lay in bed restlessly. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Fengzhen arrived, and even brought an Imperial Physician along with him. 

“Your Majesty, why are you here at this hour?” Fengzhen should be at the morning imperial court session at this hour. 

“There was nothing important to discuss today, so I dismissed everyone early. Does your stomach still hurt? Should I get Imperial Physician Wang to come and take a look?” Fengzhen sat by her bedside and noticed that Jiang Si’s face was quite pale. 

“It just hurts a little, it’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine after today.” All women would always feel unwell for a couple of days every month.

“How can you say that? If a woman is unwell during their periods, it’s not good for their fertility. Let Imperial Physician Wang take a look at you, help to improve your health, so that you can give me some descendants.” He had bestowed his grace to Jiang Si every night for three consecutive months, but she still didn’t get pregnant. He was worried, hence he got Imperial Physician Wang to take her pulse. 

The moment Jiang Si heard the word “descendants”, she felt unwell. Her body froze, and she was unwilling to pull her hand out of the blanket for the imperial physician to take her pulse. In the end, it was Fengzhen who grabbed her hand and pulled it out. 

Imperial Physician Wang used a piece of handkerchief to cover Jiang Si’s wrist, then started to meticulously take her pulse. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor favoured Jiang Si alone, and would summon her nightly. This consort was a very plausible candidate for the Empress position.

Imperial Physician Wang was so frightened that he trembled and quickly reported, “Her Highness is poisoned with something called Yuanyang Pill. Once a woman takes this poison, it would make her irresistible to any man who touches her. However… It means that she can never reproduce.” 

Fengzhen was shocked. “Is there anything else that’s wrong with Consort Jiang’s body?” 

Imperial Physician Wang shook his head, “The only side effect from this Yuanyang Pill is that women can’t give birth.” 

Fengzhen couldn’t believe that he could never have children with his beloved, “Imperial Physician Wang, your medical skills are top-notch. I want you to think of a treatment plan. You have to make sure that the poison on Consort Jiang is cleared from her body!” 

Imperial Physician Wang hesitated for a while, then knocked his head against the floor as he said in a shaky voice, “There’s an antidote for this, but this subject is concerned about one ingredient needed for the antidote.” 

“What is it?” As the emperor, Fengzhen was sure that a mere ingredient was not something impossible to find! 

Imperial Physician Wang gulped, and he didn’t dare to look up, as he replied, “It’s… Dragon’s blood.” 

Fengzhen’s heart seemed to be struck by lightning. He didn’t know why, but he suddenly recalled how Jiang Si fearlessly grabbing him during the assassination. She was clearly extremely frightened, but she refused to loosen her grip on him. 

“Go ahead and prepare the medication. When you need the ingredient, you can come and take it from me. There’s just one point that you have to remember. You must definitely cure Consort Jiang from her poison!” 

Imperial Physician Wang knocked his head against the floor again, astounded by Consort Jiang’s position in His Majesty’s heart. “This subject will follow Your Majesty’s order.” 

[1] Not the water bottle that we know today. It’s made of earthenware. 

Chapter 28

Jiang Si’s period ended, so she took a fragrant bath with flower petals, then lay on the Noble Consort’s chair to dry her hair. She was holding a book in her hand, leisurely flipping through it as she chewed on some candied fruit. 

It was at this moment that Fengzhen walked in slowly. After the servants paid their respects to him, they tactfully retreated from the room. Jiang Si was about to get up to greet Fengzhen when he held her and said, “Didn’t I say this before? You don’t have to do those superficial greetings in private.” 

Jiang Si really didn’t like to go down on her knees, so she agreed happily. Her attitude was pleasing as she said, “Your Majesty, why did you come here today?” 

Fengzhen sat Jiang Si down beside him, then pulled out a small wooden box from his sleeve. The box was carved with a red-crowned crane and a lingzhi, and it looked immensely intricate. He opened the box, and right in the centre of it was a reddish-black pill. He said to Jiang Si, “Didn’t Imperial Physician Wang say previously that your body was weak? This is the medicine that he concocted for you.” 

“But this pill is so big, how am I supposed to swallow it?” Jiang Si looked at the gigantic pill in the box, and from her tone, she clearly wanted to avoid eating it. 

“Ahem!” Fengzhen clenched his fist as he coughed softly, “You don’t have to swallow this medicine.” 

“Oh? Then how am I supposed to eat it? Could it be that it’s for external application? Do I apply it on my belly?” Jiang Si thought to herself, Fortunately it’s not oral medication. It’s surely going to be very bitter. 

Fengzhen retrieved the pill in an unnatural manner, then pressed Jiang Si down lightly on the Noble Consort’s chair, and he coaxed her by saying, “Just lie back obediently… You don’t have to care about anything else… I’ll help you apply the medicine.” 

Jiang Si wasn’t really bothered when Fengzhen began to remove her skirt, as she was thinking that he was going to apply the medication. However, when Fengzhen removed her underwear and made her spread her legs apart, she finally felt that something was wrong. Could it be that this medicine had to be applied on that area of her body?

“Your… Your Majesty… Where are you going to apply this medicine on?” 

Fengzhen didn’t want to make a serious matter like applying medicine become something perverse. However, Imperial Physician Wang had said that the pill had to be placed into the woman’s body, and the effects of the medicine would be best if it was interested into the deepest part of her body. He didn’t want others to see Jiang Si’s body, not even the servants, so he could only do it himself. 

“Don’t be scared. I’ll lightly push the medicine into your honey cave. It won’t hurt. Fengzhen kneeled down between Jiang Si’s legs, and even placed her legs on his shoulders. Then, he gripped the pill between his fingers and wanted to push it into her honey cave. 

Jiang Si was extremely shy. What type of degraded imperial physician was this?! How could he think of such a method? Yet, when she saw the seriousness on Fengzhen’s face, she could only restrain herself. 

Fengzhen tried to push her pill into the honey cave, but because Jiang Si wasn’t aroused, her p*ssy was tightly closed. Even the usually passionate flower lips were not opening, tightly shut and protecting the soft entrance. He could only use his fingers to pry the flower lips open, then try to insert the pill. 

After a few tries, fortunately, the pill was pushed in. However, the reddish-black pill disappeared into her c*nt and couldn’t be pushed in any further. Fengzhen was aware that Jiang Si’s c*nt was filled with countless layers, so the pill might have been stuck, like the amazing feeling when it wrapped his dragon root… No… He couldn’t continue thinking about it anymore! 

Fengzhen used a bit more strength in his finger. He didn’t know that there was a sheen of perspiration on his forehead, and his voice was hoarse as he said, “If you’re feeling uncomfortable, you have to tell me.” 

Jiang Si was already so embarrassed that she covered her face and acknowledged his words in a muffled voice. When Fengzhen saw that she wasn’t feeling any discomfort, he lowered his head and continued the action with his fingers. He was very gentle, as though he had used all of his patience. The pill inched in very slowly, until his index finger couldn’t enter anymore. Then, he pulled his finger out with a plopping sound.
