C188

Liang Capital, Imperial Palace.

Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill at the end of last year. At the beginning, she just felt her whole body was weak and she had no appetite.

At that time, Blue Doctor was diagnosed with anemia, and after prescribing the blood for a few days, he did feel a little better, but slowly, the symptoms became worse.

After the first year, he fainted several times, accompanied by coughing, wheezing and asthma symptoms, but the asthma medication was useless.

In the middle of February, he vomited blood. He vomited blood after coughing.

Zhuge Ming had gone into the palace to diagnose and treat it, and felt that it was similar to pulmonary tuberculosis.

Zhuge Ming and the royal doctors had studied it before, and felt that although it looked like pulmonary tuberculosis, it was useless after using the medicine. It could be seen that the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was not accurate.

Blue Doctor said more than once, "If Dr. Wen is here, he must know what sickness it is."

Every time Zhuge Ming heard these words, he would fall silent.

After a moment of silence, he would tell the imperial physicians not to say this in front of the emperor.

Empress Dowager's condition became worse, but no one knew what it was, which made Song Yunqian angry and worried.

That night, he attended to the sick patients in front of the sickbed and helped Empress Dowager take the medicine. He sat on the side of the bed and could not bear to leave.

"Emperor, go back and rest." Empress Dowager opened her eyes slightly as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Ever since she fell ill, her perspiration was especially severe. Sometimes in the daytime, when the weather was cold, she would be covered in cold sweat.

"childrens wants to accompany you." Song Yunqian tucked her in, endured the pain in his heart, and said gently.

Empress Dowager let out a long sigh, suppressing the urge to cough. "I'm afraid Queen Mother is suffering from consumption and will get infected. You are the ruler of a country, it's best not to come."

"Zhuge Ming said that you are not phthisic. You are just anaemic. Song Yunqian consoled.

The Empress Dowager shook her head, "This one knows my body. This one is useless …"

Tears welled up in her eyes. "My life has gone through many trials and hardships, and I have also enjoyed a lot of wealth. I should have no regrets in my life, but the only regret is that I can't see you having a future …"

The speed of her words became a little hurried, causing her windpipe to itch. She started to cough, and this cough seemed to cause heaven and earth to shake, as if she would not rest until she coughed out her lungs.

Song Yunqian immediately supported her up, gently patting her back, and turned to call for someone: "Quick, bring the warm water over here."

palace maid immediately poured a cup of warm water and helped Empress Dowager let her drink it. She finally stopped coughing with great difficulty.

After coughing, her face was flushed and she was sweating more frequently. Her hair looked as if it had been dipped in water and fished it out.

Slowly, the flush on his face faded as he became pale. This pale was a very frightening paleness, as if there was no more blood in his body.

This situation suddenly reminded Song Yunqian of when Chen Yuzhu was very ill. At that time, Chen Yuzhu was severely injured and her body was in a very bad condition.

He immediately stood up and instructed Ru Hong to take care of Empress Dowager before walking out quickly.

"Where is Zhuge Ming?" Song Yunqian walked out of the hall and asked Road Manager who was waiting by the side.

Road Manager respectfully replied, "Reporting to your majesty, this Doctor Zhuge was still in Taiyuan Hospital two hours ago. I'm afraid he's already left the palace."

Song Yunqian said solemnly: "Ride, we are leaving the palace."

"Yes sir!" The Road Manager answered and then quickly walked down, shouting, "Your majesty the Emperor is driving!"

During these past two years, the number of patients in the clinic had increased, and he had also recruited many disciples. Furthermore, when the doctor returned, he was still unable to cope with them.

Coincidentally, there was a doctor who had returned to his hometown to mourn. Thus, he had to run to both sides of the hall. Most of the night, he would stay in the palace and spend as much time as he could during the day helping the doctor.

Not long after he returned, he heard from his disciple that the emperor had arrived. He thought that something had happened to the Empress Dowager and hastily ran out in fright.

"Qian, why did you come out personally? "Is it …"

Song Yunqian looked at him and said softly, "Find a quiet place and we can talk."

Seeing his serious expression, Zhuge Ming knew that the situation was serious, and said: "Go to the rear courtyard, your side room, I'll rest here."

Song Yunqian nodded and instructed the Road Manager to wait outside. He and Song Yunqian then went in.

There were a few side rooms in the infirmary that were used by doctors for daily rest. Zhuge Ming stayed in the infirmary for the past two years, so he cleaned his rooms quite neatly.

After the two of them sat down, Song Yunqian asked, "Zhuge, tell me the truth, is Queen Mother's disease similar to Chen Yuzhu's disease back then?"

Zhuge Ming was a little surprised that he would ask such a question. He pondered for a moment, and softly replied: "You noticed it? "Yes, it does look similar, but it's not the same. That's why I never told you about it."

"Chen Yuzhu's illness... It's not an illness, but poison! " When Song Yunqian said this, his heart was trembling. All these years, he had never dared to easily think of the people and things of the past, including Ke Er.

"Yes, this type of poison, even Wen Yi was unable to cure it. And it's also because of this that Chen Yuanqing always thought that Wen Yi did this on purpose."

Song Yunqian's eyebrows congealed with anger, "Who poisoned Queen Mother? "And who could it be that knew of this poison?"

Zhuge Ming said: "Right now, we have yet to confirm whether it is this poison or not, don't think too much, no one can compare to Ke Er's ability in refining poison, but she is already dead. After dead for five years, no matter how vicious her heart is, she cannot come back to harm anyone."

"However, looking at Queen Mother's face just now, I feel that her situation is too similar to that of Chen Yuzhu back then."

Zhuge Ming said: "Yes, but I've also said it before, they are not the same, and there are still differences."

"Where are they?" Song Yunqian asked.

"Different pulse, different illness, and different changes in disease. Empress Dowager's sickness is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but Chen Yuzhu fell a thousand miles in one fell swoop, and her medicine had no vitality. This is the symptom of the poison spreading to her blood."

Song Yunqian sighed, "No one can cure the poison that Chen Yuzhu was infected with. It's just as you said, even Wen Yi is helpless. We are just afraid that no one will be able to cure the poison that Chen Yuzhu was infected with."

"It shouldn't be, you're being overly cautious." Zhuge Ming consoled.

"Then, how is Queen Mother now? Can the drug be controlled? " Song Yunqian raised his head and looked at him, a look of longing in his eyes.

Zhuge Ming was silent for a while, then slowly said: "To be honest, I am not confident, but now that I have lost control of my condition, taking the medicine, the effect is not big, and is not obvious, I can't even stop coughing, from last month onwards, there has been a continuous low fever, dizziness, and a blood-red complexion, it seems to be a symptom of anemia, but it can't be treated."

In fact, he did not say that what he said was the organs of the Empress Dowager, and most of them had weakened symptoms. This was the most dangerous part, and it was unknown whether or not he would completely disappear in the next moment.

Therefore, it was no longer meaningful to him whether she was poisoned or not, because even if it wasn't, there was nothing he could do about it.

He had thought that if Wen Yi was here, there would be a chance of survival using the acupuncture of gold, but he did not dare to mention Wen Yi in front of Song Yunqian. All these years, everyone had agreed not to mention this person, as if she had never been here.
