Seeing this, Shui Xiu said quickly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. The emperor is the right one and everything will be fine. I will go to Yanxi Palace to have a look right now."
"No need." Ling Ruo called Shuixiu who was about to leave, took a deep breath and said, "Bring another string of Buddhist beads for the Ai family."
Shui Xiu took it as instructed and then said: "Then your Majesty..."
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "The emperor is good at everything, but he is too affectionate. Otherwise, he would not go to Yanxi Palace even though he knew that he might be infected with the epidemic. This path was chosen by himself. The Ai family cannot help him, nor
The current epidemic cannot be cured, the only thing that can be done is to be in front of the Buddha
Praying, hoping that the Buddha can keep him and the imperial concubine safe and sound." At the moment when the beads were turned again, she closed her eyes and recited the scriptures calmly, and then... in the light smoke, there was a transparent liquid
Keep slipping from the corners of his eyes...
Time passed bit by bit as the sun set in the west. Regardless of whether people wanted to or not, it all came to dusk as scheduled. The sunset on this day was particularly red, with a sense of blood-colored vastness, shrouded in the sky.
The heads of everyone were overhead, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Among them, the most nervous ones were the imperial doctors. This night would determine their life or death. They tried batch after batch of medicine, but the effect was never satisfactory.
Doctor Chen said sadly: "Is it really God who wants to destroy us?" He was holding an empty medicine bowl in his hand. The person who drank the medicine from the bowl before was already dead.
"No, there will definitely be a way to survive." Even so, Imperial Physician Fang's lips were so white that there was no trace of blood. As for the others, they were even more miserable than him, and were in a state of misery.
At this time, Sixi walked over quickly and called Qian'er hastily: "The emperor ordered me to ask the imperial doctors if they have prepared any good medicine."
Doctor Fang nodded and said to Zhou Minghua: "Please accompany me to see the emperor."
Zhou Minghua was about to agree when Zhuang Zheng suddenly said: "Honor, please let me go with you. In any case, it was me who originally came up with this prescription and is more familiar with its medicinal properties."
"Okay." In fact, it was the same for everyone who accompanied Dr. Fang in the past. They were like gambling this time. Everyone would be happy if they won, but if they lost, their lives would be at stake.
When Zhuang Zheng went to get the medicinal materials, Si Xi came to the side of Imperial Physician Fang and whispered: "Honor, it is a matter of life and death for the Imperial Concubine. Are you sure?"
Doctor Fang sighed heavily and said: "If I were sure, I wouldn't sigh here. This time, it's really fatal."
Hearing this, Si Xi felt even heavier than before. If Xianyue could not be saved, Hongli would probably not be saved in a few days. By then, the court and even the Qing Dynasty would be in turmoil.
The group dragged heavy steps to the Yanxi Palace. Under the setting sun, they saw Huang, Hu and Xia Qing standing outside the palace gate, looking eagerly. Seeing them coming, Huang stepped forward.
, choked with sobs and said: "Mr. Fang, you must save the imperial concubine, nothing will happen to her."
Imperial Physician Fang cupped his hands and said, "I understand that I will do my best to save the imperial concubine's life."
After they entered, Mrs. Hu walked over and said, "Let's go in and wait. Sister, don't worry too much. The imperial concubine is such a nice person, she will be fine."
Mrs. Huang nodded. When they went to the main hall to wait, Imperial Physician Fang and Zhuang Zheng had already arrived at the inner hall. Hongli knew that he had contracted the epidemic, but he still stayed by the bed and never left.
In the midst of their greetings, Hongli raised his bloodshot eyes and said coldly: "How, are you sure?"
Doctor Fang said in a harsh voice: "I must use all my knowledge in my life to ensure that the emperor and the noble concubine are safe."
His answer caused Hongli to sneer, "So, you are still not sure?" Seeing that the two imperial doctors lowered their heads and said nothing, Hongli said again: "That's all, let's prescribe some medicine. I have already said it."
If we can’t save the imperial concubine, all of you will die!”
Although he had known about this for a long time, Doctor Fang was still frightened and panicked when he heard it again. Facing the four treasures of the study handed over by the palace servants, he who was usually good at handwriting, now wrote
, but even uglier than a child.
Before Imperial Physician Fang could hand over the carefully considered prescription to the palace servant, Zhuang Zheng had already taken it and said: "Honor, I'm going to boil the medicine, in case the palace servant can't control the heat."
Doctor Fang would not object to this, so he allowed him to take the prescription and medicinal materials and follow Zhichun to the small kitchen. After the palace servants prepared the stove, Zhuang Zheng immediately took the medicine and put it into a medicine jar, and then poured it into three bowls
The water was boiled on the stove, and the prescription was never read from beginning to end.
Seeing this, Zhichun said worriedly: "Mr. Zhuang, don't you need to read the prescription?"
Zhuang Zheng was startled for a moment, then said immediately: "When I came here just now, I had already read it and knew what medicine should be used and what amount."
"Really?" Zhichun looked at Zhuang Zheng doubtfully. She came with him just now, but she didn't see him read the prescription. Could this Zhuang Imperial Physician want to harm his master? Zhuang Zheng has always been with the Wei family
Being so close, if the Wei family wanted to take advantage of the epidemic to harm their master, Zhuang Zheng would be the best accomplice.
The more Zhichun thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possibility. When Zhuang Zheng handed her the cooked medicine, she said suspiciously: "Mr. Zhuang, can this bowl of medicine really save the master? You have heard what the emperor just said,
We can’t save the master, you and Mrs. Fang
They are all going to die, and no one can save your lives. This man can make fun of anything, but he can't save his life, don't you think? If your life is gone, it is gone. When the time comes, you will regret it.
It’s too late.”
"Miss Zhichun is absolutely right." Zhuang Zheng glanced at the dark brown concoction with a complex expression and said, "This medicine will definitely save the imperial concubine."
Seeing that he had made his words so clear, Zhuang Zheng still insisted on bringing the medicine. Zhichun was a little undecided for a moment. While he was thinking about it, Zhuang Zheng said: "Believe me, send it as soon as possible."
"I hope you won't make fun of your own life." With that said, Zhichun finally took the medicine to the inner hall. After Hongli personally fed Xianyue the medicine, all they could do was wait and watch this bowl.
Will medicine be good medicine or poison?
Hongli kept holding Xianyue's hand tightly, feeling the weak pulse and temperature. After an unknown amount of time, Xianyue finally reacted, but it was definitely not a good reaction, because her whole body was trembling.
And it seemed very painful.
Seeing her like this, Hongli suddenly panicked and said sternly: "Fang Jian, why is the imperial concubine like this?"
Doctor Fang couldn't answer, so he quickly stepped forward to check the pulse. If the pulse condition before Xianyue was weak, then the current pulse condition was chaotic. He had been practicing medicine for so many years, and he had never seen such a chaotic pulse condition, and he couldn't diagnose anything at all.
