Within the curtain, the light was dim. Guo Chong was wearing a thick fur coat, his body was leaning softly on the side of the soft couch, covering his mouth with a white towel and coughing dullly. He was in great pain. Qian Delu rushed to the bed.
Tea was poured beside him, and he seemed to be giving Guo Chong medicine to relieve his cough.
Seeing Lin Jue come in, Guo Chong managed to sit up straight, with hope shining in his eyes.
"Lin Jue, you are finally here. We agreed to enter the palace at the second watch, why was it delayed? Cough cough cough!"
Lin Jue stepped forward and saluted. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I apologize, but I was delayed in order to refine the pills. Making the pills requires many steps, which is extremely cumbersome. I have already rushed to refine it, but I can't finish it too quickly.
.”
"Oh? Have you refined the pills? Have you brought them?" Guo Xu said in surprise.
Lin Jue nodded, reached into his arms, and took out the brocade box.
Qian Delu brought tea over and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."
Guo Xu reached out to take the red pill in his hand. Lin Jue's heart moved and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, take it slowly. Can you not take the medicine for a while? If you take the pill I brought you now, wouldn't it be easier to know if it has any effect?"
If you take that medicine, I don’t know whether it is useful or not.”
"It makes sense!" Guo Chong nodded and said: "Qian Delu, I took this medicine. If Lin Jue's medicine is useless, it's not too late to take it. This medicine makes me feel nauseous and makes me feel itchy and uncomfortable. I don't want to take it anymore."
.”
Qian Delu said hurriedly: "I obey the order."
Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue and said, "Come and see, what kind of medicine is that?"
Lin Jue opened the brocade box and revealed a dozen black pills inside. Because they were brewed at home, the pills were not round in appearance. They were a dark mass with a pungent medicinal smell.
"Take one pill at a time and see if it has any effect, and then take more if appropriate." Lin Jue said.
Guo Chong nodded and stared at the pill.
"Your Majesty, please try one." Lin Jue said softly.
Guo Chong did not reach out to take the medicine, he looked at the pills, then looked up at Lin Jue, his eyes were thoughtful and meaningful.
Lin Jue was a little confused. He didn't know what Guo Chong was waiting for. He had to sit still. The hall was quiet, and the sound of Guo Chong's breathing came to his ears, as if he was pulling a broken bellows.
Qian Delu suddenly coughed. Lin Jue looked up and found that Qian Delu was also staring at him, with something strange in his eyes. Lin Jue looked at Guo Chong and Qian Delu, and suddenly realized something.
"Your Majesty... I will try one pill first and demonstrate its use to Your Majesty." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Having to demonstrate how to take pills is probably the worst reason in the world, but Lin Jue can't find any other reason. Guo Chong has been reluctant to take pills, of course not because he doesn't know how to take pills, but because he can't take pills.
He was assessing the risks. As the emperor, he needed to strictly control the risks in his daily diet. It would be unwise to just take the medicines sent in by others. Therefore, Guo Chong did not take action, just waiting for Lin Jue to taste it himself.
Lin Jue didn't understand it at first, but then his mind became as clear as a mirror.
Lin Jue reached out, picked up a pill from the box and brought it to his mouth, about to swallow it. Guo Chong suddenly waved his hand and said, "Bring it to me."
Lin Jue was holding the pill in a daze. Guo Chong pointed to the pill on Lin Jue's mouth and said, "I'll take the one in your hand."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly in his heart. Guo Chong was really cautious. He was very suspicious and did not fully trust himself. Taking the pill he wanted to take was the wisest choice, because if he had the intention of murder, he would always
He would not poison himself to death first. Lin Jue sighed at Guo Chong's thoughtfulness and caution, but he also knew that this was not surprising for an emperor. Although he was in a high position, he was actually the biggest target. Who knows?
Who would want him to die?
Lin Jue placed the pill in Guo Chong's hand. Guo Chong stared at the pill for a moment, then threw it into his mouth as if he had made up his mind. He grabbed the tea cup on the table, took a sip of warm water, and swallowed.
Down.
Suddenly, Guo Chong burst into a violent cough and hunched over on the soft couch. Qian Delu on the side screamed: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Lin Jue, what on earth did you feed the Emperor? You
So brave."
Guo Chong couldn't speak and waved his arms to signal. After a while, he stopped coughing and said hoarsely: "I choked on the water, so don't make a fuss."
Lin Jue was also frightened. He actually didn't know whether this pill could be effective. As for medicines, if you have an allergic reaction or something, it would really kill someone. Although the possibility of this traditional Chinese medicine pill is unlikely.
Just now, Lin Jue was really frightened and his heart was beating loudly.
"Help me lie down, help me lie down." Guo Chong gasped.
Qian Delu hurriedly helped Guo Chong lie down and covered him with a thin quilt.
"Lin Jue, you go and wait outside while I take a rest," Guo Chong said.
Lin Jue bowed and agreed. He also knew that he would not be able to leave for a while. Guo Chong wanted to wait to see if the pill had any effect. If he felt even slightly uncomfortable, he would be dead. So he could only wait for the result.
, to see if it has any effect. Lin Jue was actually very entangled all day long. He felt that he should not go into this muddy water, but at the same time he felt that it was very possible that this medicine would be useful for Guo Chong's illness, and it would be bad if he did not save it.
.So this is actually a gamble. Of course, Lin Jue knows that this pill will not have any bad side effects, and even if it is ineffective, it will not get worse. If he had not known this, Lin Jue would never have done this.
Bai Bing was sitting at the table outside. When he saw Lin Jue coming out, he stood up quickly to ask about the situation. Lin Jue waved his hand, sat down next to her, and whispered: "The emperor has taken the medicine and is resting now. Let's wait.
Wait."
Bai Bing nodded and sat down again. After a while, Qian Delu came out and whispered a few instructions to the waiter. Soon after, the waiter brought tea and two plates of snacks and placed them on the table.
"Master Lin and Madam, sit down and sit down. We will go in and serve the emperor. If anything happens, we will call you. Don't move around. This is not outside the palace." Qian Delu said in a low voice.
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Father, please do as you please, I know the rules."
Qian Delu smiled and entered quietly. Lin Jue and Bai Bing sat at the table outside and had no appetite to eat. They just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Guo Chong was listening inside.
He was wheezing violently and coughing from time to time. But soon after, the coughing disappeared, the wheezing became quieter, and the sound of snoring came out.
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, the effect of the medicine should have started. He asked Fang Huanqiu about the effects of taking the medicine. Fang Huanqiu said that he felt sleepy after taking it and wanted to sleep. Guo Chong had difficulty falling asleep, but now he was snoring, which showed that the medicine
The effect has already taken effect. Even if it has no effect on his disease, it can at least be used as a sleeping medicine, which Guo Chong must like.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Jue and Bai Bing were so bored that they started to fight with each other with their fingers, playing tricks like young couples teasing each other. Suddenly, Guo Chong’s extremely violent cough came from the separation tent.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Lin Jue, Master Lin, come in and have a look." Qian Delu's frightened cry came.
Lin Jue stood up in panic and rushed in. Bai Bing also rushed in.
Qian Delu was seen holding Guo Chong's body tilted. Guo Chong coughed loudly, lowered his head and vomited a bunch of black stuff into the slag bucket. Lin Jue didn't know what to do, so he had to stand by
He supported Guo Chong's body. But Guo Chong soon stopped coughing, spit out a large ball of black phlegm from his mouth, and then sat upright and panted profusely with sweat.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Qian Delu called.
Lin Jue said in panic: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I'm afraid Wei Chen's medicine is useless, and Wei Chen deserves to die."
Guo Chong signaled for a drink of water, and Qian Delu quickly poured warm water over. Guo Chong drank several gulps with his hand, stretched out his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this medicine works."
Ah, I feel much better. I just vomited out the stuff that had accumulated in my chest and abdomen for a long time. I feel that my chest is no longer tight and my breath is much smoother. Lin Jue, this medicine works, it definitely works. I haven't felt so relaxed in my body for a long time.
Already."
Upon hearing this, Qian Delu hurriedly checked Zhidou. At first, he thought that what the emperor vomited was blood clots, but when he looked closer, he realized that it was thick black phlegm, a dirty thing. He was immediately overjoyed.
"This is great, Your Majesty, your illness is cured. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Qian Delu was so excited that he almost cried.
Lin Jue felt a stone fall in his heart, and his body felt limp and powerless. He was really frightened just now. Guo Chong said that this medicine is effective, so of course it must be effective. He is a patient, and he has the best say.
"Your Majesty, that's great, I can rest assured." Lin Jue also wiped his sweat and said.
Guo Chong happily waved his hand and said: "Okay, Lin Jue, this medicine is really effective. If my disease is cured because of this, I will reward you heavily."
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, which is what I and the people of the world hope for. How dare you ask for any reward? This is the Emperor's great blessing to heaven. Your Majesty, the usage of this medicine is three times a day, one pill at a time, after meals
Take it. Your Majesty, please do not take too much. After all, it is a medicine with three parts poison. To cure the disease, you cannot be impatient. You have to work slowly and step by step. Do not act too hastily."
Guo Chong smiled and nodded: "That's natural. I understand this truth. What you said sounds familiar to me. Are you implying that the reform is just like me treating a disease and shouldn't be rushed?"
Lin Jue was stunned and thought to himself: You are really thoughtful and suspicious. I didn't give any hints. I was just worried that you would mess up things by taking too much medicine and I would have to take responsibility.
"Your Majesty, I have no such intention. After I returned, I made dozens more pills. This pill is a course of treatment once a month, and my friend almost recovered after taking three courses of treatment. This medicine is so useful to the emperor, I thought it was unreasonable.
In less than three months, the emperor's illness has improved significantly."
Guo Chong nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I accept your good advice and I also hope to recover as soon as possible."
Qian Delu laughed and said, "Master Lin, why don't you just give me your prescription? There are royal doctors and various medicinal materials in the palace pharmacy. Wouldn't it be convenient to prepare it in the palace?"
