Qi Kuan's eyelids twitched slightly and he said softly: "Master, why don't we talk before we go out, so as not to disturb Brother Twelve's rest."
When he mentioned it, Xianyue came back to her senses, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and said: "Take Imperial Physician Xu to the side hall first, I will be here shortly."
After they went out, Xianyue came to the bed, caressed Yongxing's hot cheek and said softly: "Huang'e Niang went to talk to Dr. Xu for a while, and I'll be with you later."
"Empress Huang..." Yongxun said weakly: "Is my son seriously ill?"
Xianyue endured the heartbreaking pain and tried to force out a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? You just have a cold. You will be fine soon."
Yongxun struggled to say: "If it's just... the wind and cold, why do you need to ask... Doctor Xu? Also, why do you have so many rashes on your body, and it's so itchy? I've never had such rashes before, Queen Mother... please tell me
Sir, what disease do you have?"
Xianyue held his rash-covered hand and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Didn't Huang'e Niang say that it's just wind and cold? As for these rashes, the imperial doctor said that they are... they are... acute rashes caused by wind and cold.
, after Dr. Xu prescribes medicine for you to take, you will be fine, don’t worry."
Yong Cang stared at her blankly, suddenly burst into tears, and choked up: "You lied to me, I have had wind and cold before, but this time... it's not wind and cold, no!"
Xianyue said in a panic: "This is what the imperial doctor said personally. Could it be false? The reason for the difference is..." Halfway through her words, she saw Yongxu struggling to get up, so she quickly held him down and said, "You
What to do?”
Yongxun gasped laboriously and said, "I'll ask the imperial doctor myself!"
"Nonsense, you are so sick now, how can you get out of bed and lie down quickly?" Yongxing, who had always been well-behaved, was extremely stubborn this time and insisted on seeing the imperial doctor. Xianyue was angry and anxious, and blurted out: "
Even if I let you know about your condition, what if everything will get better and you will be fine?"
Yongxun stopped moving and said with tears: "Empress, are you going to..." Before he could finish speaking, Xianyue hugged him tightly and said excitedly: "No! I can't do anything.
!You will stay with me as well as before
By your mother's side, let Huang'e Niang watch you grow up, watch you get a wife and have children, watch you grow gray hair, no one can take you away, even if King Yama wants to take you away, Huang'e Niang will definitely
I will bring you back from hell!"
"Huang'e Niang..." Yongxun heard the sadness and fear in Xiayue's words, and choked up: "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will no longer be able to fulfill my filial piety under the knees of Huang Ama and Huang Fore Niang, and will not be able to repay the favor.
The kindness of my parents!”
"No, with Imperial Physician Xu here, he will definitely teach you, and the Queen will definitely ask him to save you!" After saying this, Xianyue burst into tears. No one knew the horror of smallpox better than her.
The scene of Shui Yue's tragic death from smallpox is still vivid in her mind. She was afraid... really afraid...
Yongxu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and said softly: "Mother Huang, can I ask you something?"
Xianyue nodded and said hoarsely: "Okay, whatever you say, the emperor will agree to it."
Yongxu endured the discomfort in his body and said with great difficulty: "If...if I really leave, Queen Mother, please don't cry or feel sorry for me. You and Huang Ama must be fine!"
The tears that she had barely stopped fell again because of his words, like a river bursting its embankment. She couldn't help it. For a long time, she stroked Yong Xing's shoulder and cried: "There will never be that moment when you are the emperor."
No one can take you away without the consent of the emperor. Don’t worry, you will be fine."
After ordering the palace servants to take good care of Yong Cang, Xianyue wiped away her tears and walked to the side hall. Rong Yuan had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her coming in, he stood up and saluted.
Xianyue raised her hand and asked urgently: "Mr. Xu, how is Yongxu? Do you have any idea of a cure?"
Rong Yuan said solemnly: "To be honest with you, smallpox has been an incurable disease until now. The common people have thought about it for a long time. Judging from the current situation, they can only suppress it with medicine as much as possible, but whether they can survive it in the end is still
You have to rely on Brother Twelve himself, and the medicine can only serve as a supplement."
Xianyue's hand holding Jinping tightened suddenly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Seriously...isn't there a better way?"
Rong Yuan sighed: "If anything, the common people will definitely tell the empress that it is really...she has more than enough ambition but not enough power!"
Xianyue's body was trembling slightly, and it took a long time before she finally managed to speak, "Everything... Thank you, Doctor Xu!"
The medicine was quickly boiled and sent to Yongxing's room. After drinking Rongyuan's medicine, Yongxing's fever finally subsided a little, and the speed at which those rashes turned into herpes and even pustules also slowed down.
However, all this only lasted for one day. At noon on the fourth day after Yong Cong became ill, his condition suddenly became extremely fierce. Not only did the rash accelerate into pustules, but Yong Cong also began to have severe symptoms of toxemia, with high fever that would not go away.
And the whole body aches, and even convulsions occur, the situation is extremely bad.
All the imperial doctors are discussing countermeasures in Kunning Palace, but all the medicines and methods that can be used have been tried. Even Rong Yuan is helpless. The only thing they can do is to resign themselves to fate!
Xia Yue stayed with Yong Cang all night. No matter how much the people in the palace tried to persuade her, she refused to go back and rest. Seeing her face getting worse and worse, Jin Ping persuaded her again: "Master, please go back and rest for a while. Brother Twelve is here."
Your servant and Qi Kuan will take care of it for you."
Xianyue held Yongxun's hand tightly and said without looking back: "I'm not tired."
Jin Ping said worriedly: "Master, you haven't slept for two days and two nights. How can you not be tired? If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it. You'd better go to sleep for a while. Brother Twelve will be fine. You
Don't worry too much."
Xianyue ignored her and just stared at Yong Cang without blinking. Seeing her like this, both Jin Ping and Qi Kuan felt heavy in their hearts. Just when they were thinking about how to persuade, Hong Li walked in and quickly bowed and saluted.
"How is the situation of the twelfth elder brother?" Hongli also looked very unhappy. In the past two days, apart from reviewing memorials and handling government affairs, he had been staying in Kunning Palace with Xianyue to accompany Yong Cang. There were very few
When you close your eyes.
Qi Kuan said worriedly: "When I return to the emperor, Brother Twelve is in very bad condition. He has had three convulsions from morning to now and has been in a coma for the rest of the time."
Hongli looked ugly and said: "Isn't the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Xu useless?"
Qi Kuan sighed and said: "The medicine given by Imperial Physician Xu was somewhat effective last night, but today...it has no effect at all. When Imperial Physician Xu came to see him just now, he said that Brother Twelve's illness has reached its most critical stage. If
At this time tomorrow, the situation is not yet
If things get better, there will be..." He did not continue what he said, but Hongli didn't understand why. If the situation continued to deteriorate, Yong Cang would be in danger of his life... If Yong Cong really died, he
