When Ling Ruo arrived at Cining Palace, Yinzhen happened to come over from the morning court. Yinzhen was concerned about Wu Ya's safety and did not bother to talk to Ling Ruo. He walked straight in and saw Nala standing inside.
He quickly asked: "How is the Queen? Why did it suddenly..."
Nala wiped her tears and said: "The imperial doctor said that Huang'e Niang probably ate too much last night, which made her body feel overwhelmed and made her condition more serious."
Yinzhen understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. It must have been the noodles last night. If he had known that, he would not have allowed Huang E's mother to eat so much. He really regretted it. "Is there a way to remedy it?"
Nala shook her head and said: "I don't know yet. Several imperial doctors are discussing it. Your Majesty must have been working hard all the way here. You'd better sit down and rest first." After saying this, she felt as if she had just seen Ling Ruo.
He said, "Concubine Xi is here too."
"I have met the empress." Ling Ruo said after seeing the ceremony: "I heard that the empress was ill, so I came to visit her."
Nala looked pleased and said: "Concubine Xi is interested, but it's a pity that the emperor is still awake and can't see Concubine Xi's filial piety."
Ling Ruo's lips curled up slightly and she said quietly: "It's natural for a concubine to be filial to the Emperor. Why do we have to let the Emperor know about it? This seems a bit pretentious. Don't you think so, Queen?"
Naturally, Nala could hear that she was sarcastic about him. Although she was angry in her heart, with her self-cultivation and scheming, and because Yinzhen was nearby, she naturally did not show it on her face. Instead, she took it seriously and said: "Xi
The concubine is right, but I am in trouble."
Yinzhen was now putting all his thoughts behind Wu Ya's back and did not pay attention to what they said between them. He finally waited until the imperial doctor came out and asked quickly: "How is the Queen Mother?"
Doctor Qi's old face looked a little droopy. He came over and said with cupped hands: "Please forgive me for your incompetence. After what happened last night, the Queen Mother's condition is more serious than the ministers estimated. It's very possible... it's very possible..."
Yinzhen listened anxiously and urged: "What's going on, tell me quickly!"
Nala also followed up and said: "Yes, Imperial Physician Qi, you clearly know that the Emperor and I are very anxious, so please speak up quickly and don't keep it secret."
Doctor Qi smiled bitterly. How could he be trying to show off? What he said later was really hard to say, but he knew in his heart that he had to say these words. "According to the inferences of Wei Chen and others, the Queen Mother may not survive this month."
Nala's face turned pale and she exclaimed in shock: "So fast?"
Ling Ruo guessed that Nala concealed Wu Ya's condition yesterday, but she never expected that it would be so serious. She was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
The surprise in Yinzhen's heart was not much better than theirs. For a moment, he opened his mouth but could not make a sound. He finally made a sound, which made him feel strange. "Mr. Qi, how could the Queen Mother's illness attack so quickly?"
?”
Doctor Qi said with a sad face: "Yes, evil diseases are difficult to control and may become serious at any time. According to Weichen's inference, if the Queen Mother has an optimistic attitude, she may be able to survive until autumn, but no matter what, she will not be able to survive this winter."
Yinzhen looked dull and said: "There are countless precious medicinal materials in the palace, and there are so many imperial doctors like you, can't we save the life of the Queen Mother?"
"Weichen and others have tried their best, but it is hard to disobey God's will. No matter how precious the medicinal materials are, they can only save the life of the Queen Mother for a while, but not for a lifetime." As soon as Qi Taiyi finished speaking, he heard Yinzhen's furious voice, "I
I don’t want to hear this, I just want you to save the Queen Mother’s life and make no mistake, otherwise I will take off your heads!”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Imperial Physician Qi and other imperial physicians all knelt down in fear.
Yinzhen's nose was slightly open, his chest was rising and falling, and he pointed at the imperial doctors and said angrily: "Excuse me, forgive me, what else can you say besides these words? I don't care, in short, you must save the life of the Queen Mother!" Yesterday the Queen and the
He said Wu Ya's life was not in danger
For a long time, I always felt that this matter was still a little far away. Unexpectedly, in just one night, I really felt the pain of a loved one who was about to leave. Especially after he and Wu Yashi broke up with each other last night, it was even more painful.
At the same time, he was also so frightened that he couldn't help himself.
"Your Majesty." Ling Ruo, who had calmed down the surprise in his heart, stepped forward and persuaded: "It will be useless even if you kill Imperial Physician Qi and the others today. Everything is destined. The only thing we can do is to take advantage of the opportunity now."
Spend more time with Huang's mother, fulfill her wishes, and prevent her from leaving with regrets."
Yinzhen said sternly: "No! I don't believe it. Huang'e Niang is obviously still fine, how could she not be able to save her? It must be because these quack doctors didn't do their best. It was like this in Hongsheng's time, and it was like this in Huang's time."
At that time, Wanyue came out and saluted Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother please come in."
When he learned that Wu Ya was awake, Yinzhen hurried in. When he got inside, he saw Wu Ya lying on the bed, eyes open blankly. He endured the grief in his heart, pulled out a smile and said: "Empress Huang's mother
woke up?"
Wu Yashi turned around and smiled lightly: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. Why force yourself?"
"How can I be so reluctant?" Yinzhen sat beside her bed and said, "Do you feel better, Queen? The imperial doctor said that you ate too much last night and had stomach bloating and vomiting. It's just a minor illness, nothing serious."
Wu Yashi looked at him carefully and asked after a while: "How long are you going to keep this secret from the Ai family?" Without waiting for Yinzhen's answer, she sighed deeply and said: "The Ai family heard you reprimanding the imperial doctor, so you
If your character is really just a minor illness, how could you be so angry? Besides, Aijia knows her own body best. If you tell Aijia truthfully, how long can Aijia live?"
Yinzhen felt as sad as a needle pricking her heart, and choked up: "The imperial doctor said that Huang'e Niang can only survive until autumn at most, but Huang'e Niang can rest assured, the ministers have ordered them to find a way, and they can definitely save Huang'e Niang.
life."
Wu Yashi shook her head and said: "Life and death are determined by fate. The Ai family is very open-minded. If we leave the earlier we go underground to accompany the late emperor, there is nothing hard to figure out. The only regret is whether the Ai family and the emperor are on good terms.
It's easy to untie the knot in your heart, but you can't talk about it for a long time."
Yinzhen hurriedly said: "No, the Queen will definitely live a long life."
"You said the same thing last night." Wu Yashi's heart moved, and she looked at Yinzhen and said, "Last night, when you came to see the Ai family, did you already know that the Ai family would die soon?"
Yinzhen lowered his head and said, "Yes, the queen told me that the queen is suffering from a serious disease."
Wu Yashi nodded, glanced at Yinzhen, who always looked sad, raised her hand and stroked his cheek, and said kindly: "Okay, don't be sad. As long as you can spend more time with Ai's family during this time, I will be happy."
The family has nothing to regret; when they meet the late emperor, the Ai family will tell him that the successor he chose will govern the Qing Dynasty very well."
