But facing Lao Zhu, who has fallen into despair, and facing Lao Zhu who regards himself as the last straw, can Han Du still say no?
Seeing that Han Du was about to jump into the fire pit, Zhu Xi immediately straightened up and said: "Father, Han Du is just a proficient in medical skills. At most, he only has some methods for some difficult and complicated diseases. Isn't my mother sick? , not to mention a difficult and complicated disease, but...but because I spent too much energy when I was young, and coupled with my advanced age, I have reached the point where my energy is exhausted..."
"Shut up!" Lao Zhu couldn't listen to Zhu Xi's words at all, and interrupted with a roar before he could finish speaking.
Lao Zhu suddenly became furious, pointing at Zhu Zhu's nose and yelling: "Your medical skills are high, but you are proficient in medical skills. Also, you claim to be the best in medical skills in the Ming Dynasty. If you are so capable, then you should save your stepmother for me." ah?"
Zhu Tie's old face turned red after being scolded, and he replied angrily, "Father, my mother is not sick, but when the oil is exhausted, there is no cure at all..."
"I don't care. If you have the ability to cure your mother, then you should cure it quickly. If you don't have the ability, then shut up!" Lao Zhu interrupted Zhu Rui without hesitation.
This made Zhu Li unable to explain clearly, and his face turned red from holding back.
When Han Du heard Zhu Ru's words, he knew that Queen Ma's situation could not be cured by himself. When he heard Lao Zhu asking Zhu Xi to shut up, Han Du also thought that it was best for Lao Zhu to shut up himself. In this way, I don't have to let hope pop up in Lao Zhu's heart, and then have to extinguish his hope.
There was something that Zhu Xi couldn't do, so what could he do? Moreover, Zhu Rui made it very clear that Queen Ma had reached the end of her lifespan. Not to mention herself, it would be difficult for her to be saved even by the Great Luo Immortal descending to earth.
When Zhu Biao saw that his father had pinned all his hopes on Han Du, he immediately knew that something bad was going to happen. So he said: "Father, my fifth brother's medical skills are unparalleled in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone in the world knows this. Although Han Du has some skills, his medical skills are far behind my fifth brother..."
Lao Zhu suddenly turned around and glared at Zhu Biao fiercely.
Zhu Biao immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to continue talking.
Lao Zhu turned around and immediately pulled Han Du's arm eagerly, promising boldly: "As long as you can save the girl, I can make you the Duke of the country or the prince, and I can even give you whatever you want."
Faced with such a dilemma, Han Du's thoughts were like lightning. In an instant, Han Du calmed down, without any panic on his face, and bowed and replied: "I will do my best to diagnose and treat my mother."
"Okay, haha, okay! In the end, you are the most reliable." Lao Zhu happily pulled Han Du to the bed and quickly urged: "Hurry up and show me to my sister."
Han Du had no choice but to sit down on the stool, stretched out his hand and put his fingers on Queen Ma's wrist, ready to feel the pulse before making any plans. At this point, Han Du has no choice but to bite the bullet and go on step by step.
For a moment, the air in the room seemed to solidify.
No matter that An Qing and Han Jingyun were nervously worried about Han Du, they didn't even notice when they even kneaded the skirt of their clothes with their fingers to create wrinkles. This matter is too dangerous. There is no way that Han Du (the elder brother) can save his mother. What should he do if his father becomes angry because of this? Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi also frowned at the same time. They were both thinking hard in their hearts, thinking about how to save Han Du when their father was furious.
Han Du turned his back to everyone and was completely unaware of everyone's nervousness and worry. The only person in front of him now is Queen Ma, and this is also a huge trouble.
Han Du sighed helplessly and suddenly put his fingers on Queen Ma's wrist. You won’t know if you don’t explore, but you will be shocked if you explore. After Han Du checked Queen Ma's pulse, he understood why even Zhu Rui, who was highly skilled in medicine, was helpless.
Queen Ma's pulse was weak, and the interval between each beat was very long. There was even a tendency that the interval was gradually lengthening, as if it would stop the next moment.
Such Queen Ma was so angry that she could die at any time.
"How is it? Is the girl saved?" Lao Zhu saw that Han Du was silent for a long time, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
Han Du turned his head and glanced back at Lao Zhu, thinking: Now you have to say, no matter what I say, I will be forgiven. I will tell you right away, there is no way to save the queen.
It's a pity that Lao Zhu didn't understand the meaning in Han Du's eyes at all, he just kept hoping that Han Du could save his girl.
Just when Han Du didn't know how to answer, a soft moan came from behind him.
Before Han Du could turn around to check, he heard Zhu Biao's expression of sadness suddenly turned into surprise. He immediately rushed to the bed and looked at his mother and said, "Mother, are you awake?"
Hearing that the girl had woken up, Lao Zhu suddenly pulled Han Du away, took three steps at a time and came to Queen Ma in two steps, and saw that she had really woken up. He immediately grabbed Queen Ma's hand and said happily: "Sister, good sister, you finally woke up."
"Mother..."
"Mother..."
An Qing and Han Jingyun also came to visit in surprise.
Only Han Du and Zhu Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at each other. Not only did their expressions not show the slightest joy, but their eyes were full of heaviness.
Both of them had checked Queen Ma's pulse, and there was no sign of sudden awakening and recovery. As for such a sudden change, there is only one possibility for the two of them, that is, to look back!
Queen Ma looked at the people in front of her with a smile on her face. The originally pale face gradually turned rosy at this moment, as if she had really recovered.
"Yuanzhang, Biao'er, Jingyun, Anqing..." Queen Ma glanced at everyone in front of her one by one, then looked at Han Du and Zhu Zhu behind her, and continued: "Zi'er, Han Du, come here too."
The faces of Han Du and Zhu Ru were completely filled with sadness instead of the happiness of others.
After others saw the expressions on the two people's faces, they were also shocked for a moment, and then they reacted. It turns out that Queen Ma is not well, but has reached the moment of reflection.
"No, you two..." Before Lao Zhu could say the word evil in his mouth, he was interrupted by a violent cough from Queen Ma.
Lao Zhu immediately gave up on the two of them, turned back to look at Queen Ma with concern, and asked quickly: "Sister, your illness is just right, please take a good rest."
"Yuanzhang!" Zhu Yuanzhang heard this soft call and realized that this was the second time today that a girl called him this. The last time he was called this was probably thirty years ago.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang got married to Queen Ma, Queen Ma has called him by his first name. This habit of calling Lao Zhu was maintained until Lao Zhu Jianguo proclaimed himself emperor. Empress Ma stopped calling Lao Zhu by his first name because of his status as emperor.
But only now did Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realize that the word "emperor" called from the girl's mouth was not as cordial as the word "Yuanzhang". It was a pity that he had lacked the title of Queen Ma for thirty years.
"Sister, sister, you say, you say..." Lao Zhu couldn't help but shed two tears in his eyes, choking and trying to comfort his sister.
Queen Ma glanced sideways at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, help my mother up."
"Yes." Zhu Biao also had tears streaming from his eyes. He lowered his head and stepped forward to help his mother up, and put a soft cushion on her back.
Queen Ma sighed, as if she was trying to use up all her strength. Looking at Lao Zhu, he sighed: "Life and death are determined by God. It is God's arrangement. No matter how much medicine you take, what's the use? Moreover, Ji'er's medical skills have already reached the peak. Even he can't do anything. Yuan Zhang How can you force Han Du! If good medical skills can make people immortal, does that mean Qin Shihuang doesn't have to die either?"
"Yuanzhang, you have said before that you will never be like Qin Shihuang, who, for the sake of illusory immortality, will cause cholera in the world. And you have always done a good job and devoted yourself to governing the country of Ming Dynasty. You have never I have prayed for the elusive immortality. Since Yuanzhang you can face life, old age, illness and death calmly, why do you insist on being stubborn now that it is my turn?"
"I..." Zhu Yuanzhang was absent-minded for a while. Faced with Queen Ma's questioning, he even forgot to call himself.
After Lao Zhu came to his senses, Queen Ma fell into a weak sleep again.
Lao Zhu had no choice but to put Queen Ma into bed with his own hands, then stood up and turned around, looking at the people in front of him. Lao Zhu waved his hands helplessly and said, "You all go, I want to stay with my sister."
When Zhu Biao saw it, he couldn't bear it. He stepped forward and said, "Father, please take care of the dragon body."
"Stay back." Lao Zhu seemed to not want to say another word, turned around and sat in front of Queen Ma.
Han Du had no choice but to follow the crowd and retreat outside the hall. After glancing at Zhu Rui, Han Du approached and asked, "Why did the empress' condition suddenly become so severe?"
Zhu Ju sighed and said: "Actually, my mother's condition has been going on for more than half a year. I knew from the beginning that there was no cure. I just used your sturgeon and dragon tendon food supplement method to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It can delay the disease." Up to now, it is much better than before. Without your prescription for food supplements, the Queen Mother would have been able to survive for two months at most."
Hearing this, Han Du nodded and looked at Zhu Biao. Originally, he wanted to say something to express his condolences, but when he thought that although Empress Ma was on her deathbed, she had not passed away yet, so Han Du swallowed the words that were on his lips.
Zhu Biao was also full of sorrow. He waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother, you have been busy these days. You have been waiting for my mother these days. You must be exhausted. Go back first."
Then he said to Han Du: "You entered the palace just after you came back, so you should go back first."
