Hongli's thin lips curled up slightly and he said, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will also catch the epidemic?"
Si Xi quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a real dragon to protect you, so you won't be infected with the epidemic. However... I always feel more at ease after the imperial doctor has seen it."
Hongli shook his head and said: "It's the same whether you see it or not. Is it possible that after seeing it, will it turn into nothing? Everything... still depends on God's will."
After arriving at the inner hall, Xianyue was still in a coma. She had not had enough water for many days, which made her complexion look bad. Her cheeks were also sunken, and no trace of blood could be seen.
Hongli held her hand and said softly: "I have always thought that Concubine Yi was weak and mediocre, and Concubine Ying was nothing special. But today, I am impressed by the two of them. They can actually face such a situation."
It's really good that the situation is not chaotic." At this point, he suddenly laughed again, "But I believe that if it were you, you would do better, because you are Nalaxia
Yue, Nala Xiayue, who is never weaker than anyone! Sometimes, I wonder, if you are so outstanding, what would happen if you were a man? You should become a very popular minister, like Fu Heng, and become my most effective minister.
, to help me create the prosperous Qing Dynasty, but..." He slowed down his voice and said: "I still like you as a woman, so that you can stay with me until we grow old hand in hand, don't you think so?"
I don't know if she heard his words. Xianyue, who had been unconscious for nearly a day, moved her long eyelashes, then slowly opened her eyes and called out inaudibly: "Your Majesty..."
Hongli stroked her cheek in surprise and said, "Xiayue, you're awake. How are you? Do you feel better? I'll send the imperial doctor immediately."
Xianyue shook her head and said softly: "Hand in hand, we will grow old together...Does the Emperor really think so?"
Hongli nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, when you get better, I will take you to ride a horse and see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan together. Even if we are fifty, sixty or seventy years old, we will hold hands. You
She will always be my most beloved imperial concubine."
Xianyue forced out a weak smile and said with difficulty: "Okay... I still have to hold hands at the age of seventy..."
Hong Li endured the sourness in his eyes and said, "So, you have to get better as soon as possible, you know? Don't lose to a small epidemic."
Xianyue was about to nod, but waves of annoyance came from her chest. She couldn't help opening her mouth to vomit. However, she had only vomited once before, and there was nothing in her stomach. However, after several retchings, she took a warm mouthful.
Something fishy and salty came out of her mouth.
What Xianyue vomited out this time was bright red blood...
Seeing this scene, Hongli's hands and feet were cold, and he shouted: "Go and ask for the imperial doctor, quickly!"
Sixi was awakened by his roar and ran out quickly. After he left, Hongli quickly wiped the blood stains from Xianyue's mouth. But as soon as he wiped it away, another small mouthful of blood spit out. Hongli's hand kept moving
Shivering, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, fortunately the moon is flawless
Without continuing to vomit, Hongli leaned over and hugged Xianyue, who was unconscious again, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Xianyue, don't die. You just said that you will hold hands with me when you are seventy, no.
You can die! Do you hear me?!"
This time, no one answered him. The early winter was extremely cold on this day, and even the charcoal fire that burned day and night could not warm Hongli's cold body.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of hurried footsteps rang in his ears. Hongli quickly raised his head and saw that it was Imperial Physician Fang and the others coming over. He quickly urged: "Look at the imperial concubine quickly. She just vomited two mouthfuls of blood. She...
...She has been ill for several days, and I have never seen her vomit blood, hurry up!"
Doctor Fang did not dare to neglect, and quickly checked Xianyue's pulse. Almost as soon as his fingers touched his wrist, Doctor Fang's face became ugly. After him, Zhou Minghua and Zhuang Zheng both checked his pulse, and their expressions were even worse.
Doctor Fang is even more ugly.
Hongli asked eagerly: "How is it? How is the imperial concubine?"
Doctor Fang said solemnly: "Returning to the emperor, I said before that the imperial concubine can survive until tomorrow, but now...now..."
Hongli tightly clenched his hands hanging by his side, gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing now? Tell me quickly!"
Zhou Minghua took over and said: "Your Majesty, the condition of the imperial concubine has deteriorated sharply, and her internal organs have begun to bleed. This means that her condition has reached its most serious stage. If... she does not take the medicine to treat the epidemic before dark,
I'm just afraid...that there is no way to save the day!"
The last four words were like thunder, which made Hongli stunned on the spot. After he came to his senses, he grabbed Zhou Minghua's clothes and gritted his teeth and said: "Why did the imperial concubine's condition suddenly worsen? Yes.
Isn’t there something wrong with the prescription you prescribed before? Tell me!”
Zhou Minghua said in panic: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The prescriptions prescribed before have been carefully considered and there will be no mistakes. However, the epidemic is very serious this time. The imperial concubine worked too hard before and was weak, so the disease progressed."
It comes faster than ordinary people.”
Hongli suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "How is the prescription for treating epidemics? Is it perfect?"
Dr. Fang Taiyi said tremblingly: "The palace residents who were previously imprisoned in Zhongcui Palace rioted. They were suppressed not long ago. I have already gone to re-prescribe the decoction for them to take. It should be soon..."
Hongli interrupted him and said in a cold voice: "I don't want to listen to you. I just ask you, can you save the imperial concubine in time?!"
"I will definitely try my best, but..." Dr. Fang said helplessly: "In such a short time, I really can't guarantee that I can cure the imperial concubine."
"You have to be able even if you can't!" Hongli gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing can happen to the imperial concubine, otherwise I will have you buried with her, no joke!" The last four words almost jumped out from between his teeth. Zhou Minghua and others
There is no doubt that if Xianyue passes away, Hongli will definitely want them to be buried together in the mausoleum.
In the panic-stricken look of all the imperial doctors, Hong Li said coldly: "While there is still time, you go to Zhongcui Palace immediately. Before dusk, I want to get a prescription that can ensure the safety of the imperial concubine. Do you hear me clearly?
"
"I obey the order!" Imperial Physician Fang and others agreed helplessly. After exiting the Yanxi Palace, Zhuang Zheng said with a pale face: "Honor, if the imperial concubine dies, will the emperor really kill us?"
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Chen also hurriedly said: "Yes, President, do you think the Emperor is just scaring us so that we don't dare to relax?"
"Scaring?" Doctor Fang sneered: "It would be great if that was the case. You have all seen with your own eyes how nervous the emperor is about the imperial concubine. In order to take care of the imperial concubine, he even ignored his own safety."
Doctor Chen said in a trembling voice: "Then we...could we die at any time? This...how can this be possible? We are just doctors, not gods. How can we guarantee that we can save the imperial concubine?"
