What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 368 Artificial Respiration! A Life-Saving Miracle Drug!
Princess Jinling was taken aback when she saw that Su Mo dared to question her.

Don't be fooled by her seemingly inconspicuous presence; it's only because she's dissatisfied with the Empress's murder of her brother and usurpation of the throne that she stays in the Princess's residence and rarely shows her face.

In fact, Princess Jinling used to have a very good relationship with the Empress, and there are even rumors that the most mysterious commander of the Phoenix Cry Division was Princess Jinling herself!

Looking across the land, apart from Empress Dowager Zhang in Xingqing Palace, who dares to question her?
Her pretty face darkened slightly, and she stared at Su Mo with displeasure: "What do you mean by that, Marquis Su? Are you questioning me?"

"What if I give the order? What if I don't?"

Unfazed by Princess Jinling's cold gaze, Su Mo solemnly replied, "I have no other intentions."

"Your Highness should be aware of the importance of commercial taxes."

"In my opinion, if it is not at Your Highness's behest, Prince Consort Guo should not get involved. If it is at Your Highness's behest, then I will seriously consider this matter."

Princess Jinling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Does Marquis Su mean that if I am his agent, he will take action against me?"

As she spoke, her voice suddenly turned cold and sharp: "You no longer hold any official position, so why bother with this matter? Do you think the Princess's residence is easy to bully?"

Su Mo actually smiled and said, "This Marquis wouldn't dare."

"However, this matter originated from me. Zhang Xuzu and I have a very good relationship. If the Princess is also involved, I will have to consider the situation for Zhang Baihu."

Princess Jinling sneered: "So, Marquis Su is confident that he can even suppress the Princess's residence?"

"Believe it or not, with a single word from me, even your current title of Marquis of Lone Peak Mountain will be hard to keep?"

Su Mo waved his hand: "Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with whether you do it or not."

"Some things, even if you know they are impossible, you still have to do them!"

Princess Jinling frowned, staring intently at Su Mo with an unreadable expression.

But Guo Liang's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

They were all equally handsome, with tall and upright figures.

At first glance, Su Mo does indeed have many similarities with Guo Liang.

After all, as the eldest princess, the eldest legitimate daughter of Emperor Wu Taizong, and also the eldest legitimate granddaughter of Emperor Wu Taizu, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs who selected a consort for her would absolutely not dare to deceive Princess Jinling with inferior candidates.

Looking at the handsome and imposing Guo Liang, compared to Su Mo before him...

Princess Jinling didn't know what to say.

Princess Jinling was truly displeased that her husband would become anxious and uneasy with just a disapproving glance from her, showing his extremely weak character.

When she was young, she admired her grandfather, Emperor Wu Taizu, the most. The husband she wanted to find was someone as decisive and brave as her grandfather!
As a result, her father had the Ministry of Revenue and the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs find her such a husband!
The more dissatisfied she was, the colder and more unfriendly she became to Guo Liang.

Guo Liang became even more awe-inspiring and fearful!

Princess Jinling stared at Su Mo for a long time, and saw that Su Mo met her gaze calmly, with no fear in his eyes.

She couldn't help but sigh.

If Guo Liang had even half the strength of Su Mo… no, even just a third of his toughness, why would I treat him like this!

Princess Jinling finally withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "I have no connection with this matter, and I was unaware of it beforehand. I also reprimanded her severely afterward."

"Judging from what Marquis Su said, has the Imperial Son-in-Law done something again?"

Su Mo thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "This is Your Highness's private matter, and I am not in a position to say much."

"However, merchants are cunning, while the prince consort is honest and simple. I fear that the prince consort is unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts and may be taken advantage of by others."

Princess Jinling nodded slightly: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Then, she stopped talking and changed the subject, saying, "Now that Marquis Su has been dismissed from his official position, will it affect my wool trade with Marquis Su?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "While I wouldn't say that doing this business is completely unrelated to becoming an official, the impact is not significant."

"Has His Highness already transported the wool back?"

Princess Jinling nodded: "I will arrive tomorrow."

She paused slightly, then added, "A total of eight thousand shi!"

Su Mo was slightly surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected that Princess Jinling would bring back 800,000 catties of wool!
Based on his understanding of the Princess's residence, he knew she couldn't possibly come up with the money; she'd probably borrowed a lot from others.

This is truly a do-or-die move!
Who would have thought that Princess Jinling, who appears gentle, mature, and dignified, also has such a decisive side!
He's a natural talent for business!
No wonder he came knocking on the door immediately upon hearing that he had been stripped of his official position!

Of course, for Su Mo now, the more wool the better, and even if he can't use it all, he can save it.

A stone of wool costs no more than one tael of silver, but after being made into a wool sweater, its value increases dozens of times!

Su Mo thought for a moment and then said, "It is quite unexpected that Your Highness was able to transport eight thousand shi of wool."

"As agreed, the price will increase by 20% within 10,000 shi, and will be worth 1.2 taels per shi."

He frowned and paused slightly: "However, I am currently short-handed, so I will have to trouble Your Highness to send these eight thousand shi of wool to Lonely Peak Mountain and settle the payment at ten thousand taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Jinling couldn't help but sigh again.

Su Mo is indeed very shrewd and knows how to get along with people.

The wool should have been transported to Gufeng Mountain by myself, and the total price was 9,600 taels.

As a result, Su Mo used the excuse of insufficient manpower to have him transport the goods to the mountains, and in return, Su Mo gave him an extra four hundred taels.

My own son-in-law is all show and no substance; his abilities are far inferior to Su Mo's!

If only I had half of Su Mo's interpersonal skills!
Princess Jinling took a deep breath and then nodded: "I will have the wool transported to Lonely Peak Mountain immediately!"

"If there is nothing else for you, Lord Su, then I shall take my leave."

Since the matter involved a transaction worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, Princess Jinling would not delay it to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

Su Mo smiled and said, "This Marquis will see Your Highness off."

Princess Jinling got up to leave, but suddenly her face turned deathly pale. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and collapsed to the ground.

Su Mo was taken aback!
In his haste, he disregarded the proprieties between men and women, strode to Princess Jinling's side, steadied her as she was about to fall, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Princess Jinling did not react.

Seeing that her face was as white as paper and her lips were purple, Su Mo knew something was wrong and quickly pressed two fingers against her neck. The next second, his expression changed drastically!
I didn't feel any throbbing in my neck!

He took a deep breath and pressed his large hand down on the other person's most voluptuous jade bowl!

There wasn't even a hint of a heartbeat left!
His expression instantly turned serious!

When Su Mo saw Princess Jinling last time, her face was as pale as Leng Liuxi's, so he suspected that she had a hereditary heart disease!
I never expected it to happen at this time.

My heart and pulse stopped!
Angina pectoris can easily lead to sudden death, so after Su Mo learned that the Empress had a heart problem, he carried with him a heart-saving pill made of nitroglycerin mixed with starch.

He quickly took out a jade bottle from his pouch, poured out a heart-saving pill, pried open Princess Jinling's jaw, and placed the pill under her tongue.

The base of the tongue can directly absorb the medicinal properties.

Unfortunately, Princess Jinling is already in a state of feigned death, so she doesn't seem to be of much use!
Su Mo shouted in a deep voice, "Someone, summon the First Madam!"

"Summon Ling Yanyao immediately as well!"

Lin Moyin couldn't be found; she was simply reading in her bedroom!

She was a disciple of Xiao Lizhuang, and at this time, she was the best doctor in Lonely Peak Mountain!

Ling Yanyao is a contemporary practitioner of an ancient immortal sect. She may also know medicine or have secret techniques for saving lives. Su Mo will summon her as well!
Although the servants outside didn't know what had happened, upon hearing Su Mo's stern shout, they hurriedly went to find Lin Moyin. Su Mo looked at Princess Jinling, who lay flat on the ground, completely lifeless, his brows furrowed deeply!

If Princess Jinling were to die in her own residence, the trouble would be truly immense!
When Su Mo tried to channel his magic into her body, he found it extremely difficult to circulate and had little effect. He didn't dare to force his magic into her body, lest it cause irreversible consequences.

I don't know if Lin Moyin has a solution.

Time waits for no one.

Su Mo steeled her resolve!
We can only see if CPR and artificial respiration are effective!
He recalled the specific steps of artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, untied Princess Jinling's thick woolen cloak, reached out and pinched Princess Jinling's delicate nose, then opened his mouth and moved it towards Princess Jinling's lips, which were already bluish-purple and black!
He pressed his large hands down on Princess Jinling's chest!

Despite the pleasant, soft feel of the material, Su Mo had absolutely no romantic thoughts at that moment.

When I first started performing CPR, I was a little clumsy, but after a few cycles of breathing and chest compressions, I became more skilled.

Lin Moyin and Ling Yanyao arrived soon after.

Seeing Princess Jinling lying on the ground, pale as a corpse, with Su Mo pressing hard on her chest with both hands, Lin Moyin and Ling Yanyao were dumbfounded.

Before they could ask, Su Mo said solemnly, "Princess Jinling's heart condition has flared up; her breathing and heartbeat have stopped!"

"Do you have any way to save them?"

Lin Moyin's expression changed drastically, and without uttering a sound, she pressed her finger against Princess Jinling's carotid artery.

Ling Yanyao did not hesitate and reached out from the other side to grab Princess Jinling's wrist.

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes!
Lin Moyin asked in a deep voice, "Is there any way?"

Ling Yanyao's face showed a bitter and solemn expression.

She never imagined that such a thing would happen!
Why did Princess Jinling have to fall ill and die when I arrived at Gufeng Mountain? I guess I probably won't escape the wrath of the Great Wu Empress!
Ling Yanyao shook her head solemnly: "Life has been cut off, breathing and heartbeat have stopped, even a god cannot save them!"

It's practically as if they're saying Princess Jinling is dead!

Lin Moyin's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Ling Yanyao's judgment was exactly the same as hers!
She glanced at Su Mo, who had just finished pressing on Princess Jinling's chest, and then kissed him on the lips. Such frivolous behavior, even though Lin Moyin guessed there was another reason, still made her frown and say, "Husband, what are you doing!"

After giving Princess Jinling a breath, Su Mo continued to press on her chest, striking her like a hammer, and said in a deep voice, "There's nothing else we can do now. We can only leave it to fate and see if CPR can save her!"

"Inform His Majesty and have him come to Lone Peak Mountain!"

Lin Moyin hesitated for a moment, but quickly wrote down the message: Blood Eagle sent a message to the Empress!

Ling Yanyao frowned as she looked at Su Mo's disrespectful act towards Princess Jinling's corpse, her heart filled with suspicion.

Judging from Su Mo's words, this is a treatment method called "cardiopulmonary resuscitation"?

But why had no one, a disciple of an ancient immortal sect, ever heard of such a method of saving lives?
She couldn't even understand the point of Su Mo doing this!
How can a dead person be brought back to life!
After sending the message, Lin Moyin could only watch Su Mo do as he did, her eyebrows furrowed in disapproval.

In her view, Princess Jinling was already dead, just as Ling Yanyao had predicted; even a god couldn't save her.

Her husband claimed he was trying to save Princess Jinling, but to outsiders, it was nothing short of desecrating the princess's body!

However, Lin Moyin had heard that her husband had even saved people from burial in the past, so she held onto the hope that a miracle might happen.

At the same time, he secretly raised his magical power, and held the sword embryo in his mouth, ready to release it at any time.

Ling Yanyao's heart suddenly tightened, and she took two steps back without making a sound.

A pair of delicate hands faintly glowed with purple light, and the gold bracelet on her wrist silently slipped into her palm.

Judging from the radiant light emanating from the gold bracelet, it was actually a rare magical artifact!
A war between the two sides is about to break out.

Su Mo, who was performing CPR on Princess Jinling, suddenly felt Princess Jinling's body tremble slightly, and at the same time, her eyelashes fluttered gently.

The hands placed between Su Mo's knees clenched tightly, seemingly in tension.

Su Mo's heart stirred.

He quickly released his large hand from Princess Jinling's chest.

Stand up.

Seeing that Lin Moyin and Ling Yanyao were both subtly circulating their magical power, Su Mo frowned slightly and waved his sleeve.

Fear flashed across Ling Yanyao's pretty face as she looked at Su Mo in disbelief!
Her fully activated magic power crumbled and disintegrated with a casual flick of Su Mo's wrist!
Lin Moyin was also taken aback.

However, he didn't rush to make a move, instead casting a suspicious glance at Su Mo.

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Mo'er, Princess Jinling's heart disease has flared up again. I have a pill here. Place it under her tongue, and it should keep the princess safe!"

As he spoke, he handed the jade bottle to Lin Moyin.

Lin Moyin was stunned again, and took the jade bottle in a daze. She noticed that Su Mo was giving her winks, and his eyes were turning towards Princess Jinling.

Lin Moyin subconsciously looked at Princess Jinling.

Then his eyes suddenly widened.

Princess Jinling's chest was heaving?
Isn't she already dead?

A storm raged in Lin Moyin's heart!
My husband can actually bring the dead back to life!

Is the difficulty what you're talking about, the supreme secret method recorded in the "Handbook for Dual-Use Military and Civilian Talents"?

Ling Yanyao stared incredulously at Princess Jinling lying on the ground!
Even more shocking than discovering that Su Mo possessed unfathomable magical power and cultivation!

He immediately looked at Su Mo in horror!
Lin Moyin, being a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, quickly recovered from her shock and knelt down to gently pry open Princess Jinling's mouth, placing the pill under her tongue.

Sure enough, just a moment later, Princess Jinling's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she opened her eyes, slowly "waking up"!

Lin Moyin quickly helped Princess Jinling up: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Princess Jinling glanced at Su Mo almost imperceptibly.

Then his gaze fell on Lin Moyin, and he sighed: "I just had a heart attack, and it was Commander Lin who saved me?"

Lin Moyin hesitated for a moment: "It was Marquis Su's elixir that saved His Highness."

Princess Jinling then turned her gaze to Su Mo, a look of suspicion appearing on her face: "Lord Su's pills?"

"Does Lord Su actually possess a miraculous medicine that can cure a heart ailment?"

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

I was right; Princess Jinling had indeed woken up.

Upon hearing Princess Jinling's inquiry, he explained, "Although I possess medicine to treat heart ailments, I am not entirely confident of success. Fortunately, Your Highness is benevolent, and with Heaven's protection, I am safe and sound. I am truly fortunate!"

……

At the same time, just as the Empress finished reading the remaining memorials after she had moved away the impeachment memorials against Su Mo, she suddenly saw the Blood Eagle fly over.

A hint of joy involuntarily appeared in the Empress's eyes.

Blood Eagle of Lone Peak Mountain!
That bastard never sends me messages, does he?

She first snorted before taking the Blood Eagle, and when she took off the cloth letter, her face turned deathly pale!
Princess Jinling suffered a heart attack on Lonely Peak Mountain, her breathing and heartbeat stopped, and she was on the verge of death.

Princess Jinling was nearly ten years older than the Empress. When they were young, the Empress followed Princess Jinling everywhere. Many times, when she did something wrong, Princess Jinling, as her elder sister, would take the blame for her. As a result, she was often punished by her father, the Emperor!
The Empress's feelings for Princess Jinling were even stronger than her feelings for Empress Dowager Zhang!

Now, Princess Jinling is dead?
The Empress took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Anwu, come with me to Lonely Peak Mountain immediately!"
