C86

Her Majesty was lying on the bed, her frail body covered with thick peony embroidered flowers. Under the heavy blanket, it seemed as if there was nothing there. Her head was on the soft satin pillow, her eyes wide but unfocused. His face was sallow, his eyes were puffy, and his lips were pale and dry.

Wen Yi was extremely shocked in her heart. It had only been three years since they last met, but that kind and serious noblewoman Hua was already at the brink of death, her appearance haggard.

She felt around the bed with her thin, claw-like hands and held on to the edge of the bed. She was about to get up when she said: "Is it An Ran? "An Ran …"

An Ran hadn't seen the empress dowager for some time. Seeing her like this, she was a little afraid and hugged the emperor's neck tightly, unwilling to go over.

The emperor laughed: "Queen Mother, An Ran has come. Didn't he say he misses the Old Ancestor?"

mama went forward to support the empress dowager, letting her rest on the bed. Two cushions were placed on top of the bed, but her body was still sliding down slightly.

The emperor sat in front of the bed and placed An Ran on the edge. He held the empress dowager's hand and choked with sobs, "Queen Mother, for An Ran, for me, you have to hold on!"

He knew that the Old Ancestor doted on him, so he was not afraid. He extended his chubby little hand to pinch the Empress Dowager's face and said in a baby voice, "The Old Ancestor wants to eat meat, he wants to grow fat!"

The empress dowager's face lit up as she smiled happily. The wrinkles on her face piled up like the tail of a goldfish, making her look extremely affectionate. She nodded. "All right, all right. The Old Ancestor eats meat, eats meat, and listens to the peace."

The emperor said softly, "I have brought a doctor here today. She is skilled in acupuncture, how about Queen Mother let her have a look?"

The empress dowager's face sank as she slowly slid down the bed. She turned her back to the emperor and said coldly, "There's no need, you can leave. There's no need to pretend to be laughing outside for This Dowager to hear. This Dowager knows that This Dowager is about to die, so she can't laugh out loud. Don't make things difficult for them."

The emperor looked sad. He didn't dare persuade her again for fear of angering the empress dowager and aggravating her illness. He carried An Ran and said, "Then Queen Mother will have a good rest."

He signaled Wen Yi with his eyes, signalling him to go out. Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly bowed and greeted, "Greetings Esteemed Empress Dowager. This servant was assigned by the Emperor to serve Esteemed Empress Dowager!"

The emperor was stunned, but he immediately understood what she meant. He threw a flattering gaze at her.

The empress dowager gave a muffled grunt. "This Dowager has enough servants by my side, but since it's the Emperor's kind intentions, then I'll stay!"

Wen Yi heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Esteemed Empress Dowager!"

The Emperor said to the mama who was serving the empress dowager, "mama, go to the storehouse and fetch some silver charcoal. This room is cold, and it has rained continuously for many days.

mama knew that the Emperor had something to tell her, so he replied happily, "Yes, this old servant will go immediately!"

Saying that, he followed the Emperor out of the bedchamber.

The emperor lowered his voice and said to the mama, "Find an opportunity and cooperate with the Dr. Wen to treat the empress dowager's illness. Remember, you must be careful not to cause the empress dowager any displeasure."

mama's eyes reddened, and he said: "Your majesty is truly filial, this old servant is truly happy for Empress."

"Well done!" The Emperor said.

The mama replied and left.

Inside the bedchamber, other than Wen Yi, there were a few other palace maid s waiting on the side. Seeing that the empress dowager had opened her eyes again, Wen Yi was lost in thought for a moment. Then, she said, "Empress, this servant will start his primary massage technique.

The empress dowager turned around, her eyes unfocused as she said lightly, "Fine, since you were appointed by the emperor, you should handle matters with caution. "Since I am already a cripple, let me show you my filial piety. Come and sit by my side."

Wen Yi replied and carefully walked over to sit on the edge of the bed. She rubbed her hands together before placing them on the empress dowager's temples.

Wen Yi smiled and replied, "It's good as long as the empress dowager feels comfortable." She gently massaged her temples, her fingers skillfully twirling around her eye sockets. After about ten rounds, she pressed down hard on her temples and then continued spinning around in her eye sockets for another twenty times. Her Majesty slowly relaxed, and her breathing gradually became steady and even.

Wen Yi did not dare to use the needles because she did not know the condition of the empress dowager.

She massaged her head, and when she was relaxed and asleep, she massaged her fingers, and massaged her wrist with her fingers, following along her pulse, but she could not stay in that pulse for too long. Because she was very sensitive, when her hand touched the pulse on her wrist, she struggled for a bit, and Wen Yi could only continue to massage her hands, arms, shoulders, until she slowly relaxed.

When mama returned, he saw that the empress dowager had fallen asleep and was slightly surprised. He looked at Wen Yi with admiration in his eyes and gave him a thumbs up.

Wen Yi laughed and said softly, "The empress dowager has fallen asleep. I'll go ask the imperial physician for her condition. I'll have to trouble mama to watch over this place."

mama nodded, "Doctor, quickly go!"

Wen Yi turned and left. In the palace, the concubines had already left, only Song Yunqian and his wife were still there. An Ran had probably been carried away by the Imperial Concubine Rong.

Song Yunqian stepped forward and asked softly, "How is it?"

Wen Yi shook her head, "I don't know yet, I need to ask the imperial physician."

"This King will accompany you!" Song Yunqian said.

Wen Yi nodded, "Alright!"

Song Yungang sat on the chair, and said indifferently: "royal brother is very concerned about this doctor, those that don't know, I thought she was her lover."

Wen Yi raised her head and looked at Song Yungang. Princess Zhenyuan pulled his sleeves and knitted her eyebrows, indicating him not to speak.

Song Yunqian said coldly: "Royal brother is thinking too much."

"This time, seeing that your brothers don't seem to be as friendly as they used to be, and it's just a small grudge between you brothers, it's fine if you speak the truth. But someone as awkward as Kids, if word spreads out, don't be afraid of others laughing, just shake hands and make peace."

Song Yunqian looked at the Ninth King, his expression gentle, and said: "Royal Uncle, why didn't you come to the capital to find your nephew? "Where do you live now?"

The Ninth Prince laughed and said, "Since I'm living in the palace now, Royal Brother wants me to return to the capital to tend to my illness. Since I won't stay here for long, I won't be able to return to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. I also wanted to look for your brothers, but since I thought that I would meet them in the palace sooner or later, there's no need for me to rush there. "

Song Yungang said: "It's been a long time since I've seen uncle Huang, nephew really misses you. How about I find a day to go to nephew's mansion to drink a cup of wine!"

The Ninth King said, "Alright, but it's been a long time since I've had a drink with you brothers. There's no need to find a day to have a banquet tonight in the imperial garden. This King will drink with you for three thousand cups!"

Wen Yi looked at the smile on the Ninth King's face. He seemed to be trying her best to merge with the two of them, but in her heart, she knew that he wished for more from the two brothers than anyone else. She sighed softly. She knew the bitterness and grievance in his heart. Now that he had fought back, he was also forced into a corner.

The Princess Zhenyuan laughed, "Royal Uncle, this is such a good proposal. I also have a lot of things to ask of you, Royal Uncle.

The Ninth King looked at Princess Zhenyuan and laughed: "Ye Er is still as empathetic as ever, of course it's good, Ye Er will just reward you with it."

The Princess Zhenyuan smiled, "That's great."

Song Yungang indifferently said: "It's better if we change the day. The rain tonight probably won't stop.

The nine king looked at Song Yunqian, "Where's Qian'er?"

Song Yunqian said expressionlessly: "Royal Uncle's fist of sincerity, how could your nephew not see it?"

Wen Yi knew that he was only willing to go because she heard Song Yungang say that she wouldn't go. Once Song Yungang also goes, he will definitely be absent.

After the Princess Zhenyuan heard this, she tugged at Song Yungang's sleeves and said: "Your Highness, why don't you accompany me for a drink. Since it's raining, why don't you change it to the Lovesick Pavilion.

Song Yungang loved his wife and he would never disobey his wife's words. Hearing her words, he could only reluctantly ask, "Then, can I ask Royal Uncle if there is a problem changing his name to the Lovesick Pavilion? You're thin and the weather is cold, so you need to be careful. "

The Princess laughed like a peony in full bloom. "Uncle Huang will definitely have no objections!" She looked at the Ninth King and said, "Isn't that so? "Royal Uncle!"

The Ninth King chuckled. "Of course not!" He then looked at Wen Yi and asked thoughtfully: "Do you want to go with us, Dr. Wen?"

Wen Yi raised her head and looked at him, "Is there really no reason for your invitation not to?"

The nine kings acknowledged and turned around to enter the inner hall.

Wen Yi then proceeded to the Taiyuan Hospital with Song Yunqian to discuss about the empress dowager's illness.

The Imperial Physician Shangguan replied, "The empress dowager only started to have blurry vision after she fell. Occasionally, she had a headache, and when it started, the pain became uncontrollable, causing her body to ache all over. However, there were no external injuries.

Wen Yi reckoned that it was due to the brain bleeding from the fall, and the blood clots pressing down on the nerves, causing him to have a headache and blurred vision. As for the aches and pains in many parts of the body, it should be caused by drinking the formula for dispersing blood stasis for a long time. The formula for dispersing blood stasis is often cold, and the elderly might not be able to bear it. Fortunately, she had managed to obtain some mild and clear medicinal recipes, so there were no serious consequences.

However, because he had been drinking medicine for a long time, his stomach had been damaged. His stomach was weak and his digestion ability was poor. His body would not be able to absorb any nutrients. Thus, he would of course lose weight. In addition to her blindness, intense psychological pressure, tinnitus, and even hallucinations, she would feel that her time was running out and would not want to be treated.

To cure Her Majesty, it was necessary to remove the blood clots in her brain. However, this was not something that could be accomplished through acupuncture. There was accumulated blood in her brain, and this blood had to be drained out of her body. Of course, there were some small blood clots that could be absorbed by the body through consuming medicine or some other means. But after more than a year, the blood clots were still there and the eyes had gone from being blind to being blind. This proved that the blood clots were moving and could not be absorbed.

However, the Empress Dowager was completely unwilling to be treated. Even her pulse was sensitive, let alone her draining operation. Besides, the medical equipment is not perfect and the condition of drainage operation is not met.

Imperial Physician Shangguan looked at Wen Yi and asked: "Does Dr. Wen have a way?"

Wen Yi shook her head in distress. "I have to go back and study it. There's no use in using it, let's temporarily stop it and boil some gentle nourishing soup for the empress dowager to consume. I'll strengthen my body first, then think of a way slowly."

The Imperial Physician Shangguan frowned. "Actually the medicine has already been stopped, the empress dowager's appetite is low, and she's only been drinking some soup recently."

Wen Yi said: "Take your time, take it easy!"

Imperial Physician Shangguan hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "I'm afraid, there isn't much time left!"

Wen Yi shook her head, "No, there is still hope, her mental state is very important, her body's organs are not exhausted, so if she recuperate properly and find a way to cure her eyes, she will definitely recover."

The Imperial Physician Shangguan was not optimistic, "I'm afraid it might not be that simple, the Esteemed Empress Dowager does not even treat us now."

Wen Yi thought for a moment, then said: "Think of a way, if you have to, you must also tie it up."

Imperial Physician Shangguan was shocked, he looked at Wen Yi in shock.
