"Is there any cure?" This was the question that Kangxi was most concerned about.
At this time, even Imperial Physician Qi stopped talking. All the imperial physicians looked at each other, but no one made a sound.
"I'm asking you, are you all deaf?" Kangxi scolded, and his eyes with a trace of anger swept over everyone's heads.
In the hall, there was deathly silence. Only the autumn wind swept in and blew the curtains. Anger condensed in Kangxi's eyes, followed by fear. He knew very well that if the situation was not so serious that it could not be undone.
To the point where they would never dare to turn a blind eye to their own questions.
After a long time, someone finally spoke up and said: "Returning to the emperor, the Queen Mother fell ill because of the decline of vitality in her body. It was not due to disease. The vitality flourished and then declined. This is the way of nature. It cannot be interfered by medicine, stone or human power. Even if there is
The treasures of genius and earthly elixirs can only delay the rebirth but cannot reverse it."
It was Rong Yuan who spoke, and he was also the calmer one among the several imperial doctors.
Although his words were euphemistic, how could Kangxi not understand the truth? The Queen Mother... had reached the end of her life. Although birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable processes for everyone, it was still difficult to accept it at this moment.
Kangxi stared at the imperial doctor whom he didn't like, and said with difficulty: "How long can the Queen Mother last?"
Rong Yuan gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "If we use the elixir and supplement it with the medical skills of Wei Chen and others, we can probably save the Queen Mother's life for three months. After three months, there will be no way to save her."
"Rice! You're all just a bunch of ricers!" His words caused the last hope in Kangxi's heart to collapse. In anger, he couldn't help but pointed at Rong Yuan and other imperial doctors and angrily yelled: "It's in vain that the imperial court has raised you for so long, you are all a bunch of ricers.
, If you can’t even save the Queen Mother, what’s the use of raising you?”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" All the imperial doctors, led by Qi Imperial Physician, fell to the ground to apologize, fearing that Kangxi would move the imperial hospital to anger. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the past dynasties. It even happened once during the reign of the late emperor, which was to respect the empress.
At the time of death.
Kangxi's nostrils were slightly open, his breathing was getting heavier, and even his hands hanging by his sides were trembling slightly, which showed that he was extremely uneasy inside. Hongli looked at Kangxi worriedly and wanted to walk up, but was held tightly by Ling Ruo.
At this time, anyone who gets involved may be implicated, and Hongli is no exception.
At this moment, a weak voice came from deep inside the heavy curtains, "Emperor."
This voice, which was not loud, shocked Kangxi's whole body. The anger in his eyes quickly dissipated, leaving only deep concern. He whispered "Emperor's Mother" and walked in quickly.
As soon as he moved, the maids guarding behind the curtains opened the curtains one after another, revealing the innermost hardwood bed. An old woman with silver-haired hair was lying on it with a languid expression.
Hands stretched out in mid-air.
"Empress Huang." Kangxi quickly walked to the bedside and held the hand tightly, with a hint of sobs in his voice.
"Don't be sad. Ai Jia is very satisfied to have lived for so many years. He is more than seventy years old and has surpassed many people for two or even three lifetimes. And he has the emperor serving him with sincerity and filial piety. Ai Jia is very happy, really happy.
"What they just said was heard by the Queen Mother, and she was very understanding.
"It's not enough. The emperor's mother wants to live a long life and let her sons and ministers continue to serve her." Kangxi was the king of the world and had the power of life and death, but he was still powerless in the face of life, old age, illness and death.
The Queen Mother smiled forgivingly, her eyes as calm as a lake, "There is a time in your life that you must have, but there is no time in your life. Don't force it. God has already given Aijia a very generous gift, and he can always watch the emperor make great contributions. Even today, after Aijia's death,
You can also have a face to see your ancestors."
While they were talking, Li Dequan had quietly sent the imperial doctor and all the palace officials down. Apart from him, only Ling Ruo and Hongli were still standing in the palace.
Kangxi could not look away like the Queen Mother. There was deep sorrow and attachment in her eyes, "E Niang is gone, Huang Ama is gone, aunt is gone, and Huang Ama is gone. I only have you Huang A Niang left.
.”
"Your aunt..." the Queen Mother murmured, with memories in her eyes. More than fifty years have passed, but she still clearly remembers that beautiful woman. Her life is a legend and a legend.
A sad song.
During his lifetime, he spent countless efforts chasing the aloof emperor's heart, but the late emperor's heart was always attached to Empress Duanjing, making her unable to pursue her. It was only when she was bruised all over her body and gave up everything that the late emperor finally woke up.
,Only
By then it was too late, the beauty had already passed away, and he could only pursue the good times in his memories. Faced with the evil he had caused by himself, the late emperor was unbearable in grief and passed the throne to the eight-year-old at the time.
Xuanye became a monk in Mount Wutai.
After sighing deeply, the Queen Mother turned her eyes and landed on the little figure not far away. It was Hongli. She still liked this smart great-grandson very much. A smile flashed across her lips.
He waved slightly feebly: "Come here."
"Great-great-grandmother." Hongli ran to the bed with a bang, his black and white eyes filled with bright liquid. Although he was still young, he already knew that death was a permanent departure and that we would never see each other again.
"Good boy." The Queen Mother nodded and was about to speak when she accidentally saw the figure following Hongli. The moment she saw it clearly, she was stunned and in a trance, as if she had returned to the time when the late emperor was still there.
She...she...how could it be...
Kangxi knew why she was so rude and explained: "The emperor's mother-in-law, she is the fourth son of Fujin, and also the mother-in-law of Hongli. She is Niu Hulu's Lingruo."
The fourth child's side Fujin...
These words brought the Queen Mother back to her senses. Yes, my sister was gone for a long time. How could she appear again? What's more, it had been more than fifty years and she was already so old. How could her sister still be as young and beautiful as before?
Korea.
"Except for Fang'er, she is the person I have ever seen who looks most like her." Ling Ruo had heard this sentence from Kangxi, and now heard it from the Queen Mother, but she still didn't know who the aunt they talked about was her.
Who is he? During the Shunzhi Dynasty, there was no concubine of the Hesheli family.
"My granddaughter-in-law has met the Imperial Grandmother, and the Imperial Grandmother is auspicious." Ling Ruo saluted. This was the first time she had seen the Queen Mother who had been living in the harem, and she was in awe with a hint of curiosity.
"Pingshen." The Queen Mother's attitude was unusually kind. She looked at Ling Ruo carefully for a while and found that not only her appearance, but also her temperament was somewhat similar to her sister. She was gentle and delicate but also had a bit of arrogance.
After saying a few words, the Queen Mother became exhausted. When she took a break, she told Ling Ruochang to bring Hongli to Ciren Palace.
Ling Ruo agreed that in the next few months, she would often take Hongli to Ciren Palace to pay respects to the empress dowager who was ill in bed. The empress dowager seemed very happy every time she saw her. The empress dowager was a very kind person.
There was never a word of harsh criticism. He treated Ling Ruo like this, and he treated the palace people the same way.
