Seeing Zhang Ji's serious expression, Yang Ling was startled and waved his hand to reject Pei Yuanshao and others.
When no one was around, he whispered,
"Mr. Zhongjing, what happened?"
"To be honest, it's about Mr. Zixiu."
Zhang Ji's tone was extremely serious.
After hearing this, Yang Ling suddenly remembered that Cao Cao said that Cao Ang was sick a few days ago, and his heart sank.
"Is he seriously ill?"
"Yes, it must be choking."
"What, it's stomach cancer?!"
Yang Ling was shocked and blurted out.
"Stomach cancer? What is that disease?"
Zhang Ji looked at Yang Ling doubtfully.
"No...nothing."
Yang Ling waved his hand, but his heart was filled with confusion.
In his previous life, a relative of his had gastric cancer, and he looked up information about cancer.
Although ancient science and technology and medicine were not developed, the ancients still had records of cancer.
For example, in the ancient medical book "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", stomach cancer is called "choking", liver cancer is called "accumulation of qi" in "Shengji Zonglu", and lung cancer is called "difficult classics·On diseases of the five internal organs". It is "lung accumulation".
He never expected that Cao Ang would suffer from stomach cancer at such a young age.
But thinking about it carefully, before he went to Hanoi County to attack Zhang Yang, when he drank with Cao Ang, and when he sent sour plum soup to Cao's house, he had already shown signs of loss of appetite, vomiting, and stomach pain.
I'm afraid it will already be early days!
Yang Ling felt quite unhappy and sighed,
"How is he doing now?"
"It's extremely pessimistic. It can last for another half year at most."
Zhang Ji's mood was also quite heavy.
When he was in Wancheng, he spent some time with Cao Ang.
Zhang Ji also had a good impression of this gentle, intelligent and future heir to the Cao family.
Unexpectedly, he now suffers from choking and diaphragm syndrome.
Zhang Ji has been practicing medicine for so long, but there is basically no cure for those who suffer from choking.
"I understand, thank you Mr. Zhongjing."
Seeing Pei Yuanshao sending Zhang Ji away, Yang Ling took a long breath, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and turned back to the mansion.
In the lobby.
The women surrounded Cao Qing, Mi Zhen, and Huang Yueying, chattering and asking them how they felt about being pregnant.
"Qing'er."
Yang Ling shouted.
All the girls looked over.
"My husband has something to discuss with you."
"Okay, sisters, wait a moment."
Cao Qing stood up and followed Yang Ling to the study.
Seeing his frown and unswerving expression, Cao Qing obediently stepped forward, held his hand, and said softly,
"Husband, what happened?"
Yang Ling hesitated for a moment, and finally told Cao Qing exactly what Zhang Ji said.
"What? Zixiu...he actually got choking?"
Cao Qing's face instantly became tense.
"I was thinking that we should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together to visit Zixiu."
"Okay, let's leave now!"
Cao Qing didn't care about cleaning up, immediately stood up and walked out with Yang Ling.
The two of them left the mansion without delay and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing Miss Gu Ye coming back, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not dare to stop them. Yang Ling and Cao Qing went to the study smoothly and met Cao Cao.
Although he was crowned Duke of Wei, Cao Cao looked obviously older and more haggard compared to the previous few days.
"Ziyi, Qing'er, you are back."
Cao Cao forced out a smile and said hello to them.
"Father, how is Zixiu...how is he?"
Cao Qing didn't bother to say hello to her father, so she asked with concern.
"You...you all know?"
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he looked at Yang Ling.
"Reporting to my father-in-law, Qing'er, Miss Mi, and Yueying have all lost their appetites in the past few days, so I asked Mr. Zhong Jing to check them out and found that they are all pregnant."
Yang Ling explained,
"Then Mr. Zhongjing told us about Mr. Zixiu."
"Qing'er, are you happy?"
Cao Cao had a rare look of joy on his face, but then he sighed,
"One of you is Zixiu's teacher and the other is his sister. I shouldn't hide this from you."
"Yes, I'm afraid Zixiu may not be able to survive..."
He stood up slowly and walked toward the backyard with Yang Ling and Cao Qing.
In a courtyard, more than a dozen maidservants stood in the courtyard. When they saw the arrival of Cao Cao and the others, they all saluted.
Pushing open the closed door, Yang Ling finally saw Cao Ang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Although Yang Ling had expected it, he was still surprised when he saw Cao Ang on the bed.
His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was so thin that only skin and bones remained.
If the relationship was a little more distant, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.
Before meeting Cao Ang, Yang Ling had imagined that Cao Ang was not suffering from cancer.
But after seeing Cao Ang with his own eyes, he was extremely sure.
Because Cao Ang's current situation is exactly the same as that of his relative in his previous life!
"Zixiu..."
Cao Qing exclaimed, ran forward, held Cao Ang's hand tightly, and shed two lines of tears.
Although Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were slightly red.
At this moment, he was no longer a talented minister and a tycoon in troubled times, but just an ordinary father!
…
In order not to disturb Cao Ang's rest, Yang Ling and Cao Qing did not stay too long before getting up and leaving.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Qing couldn't help but ask,
"Husband, you have always been extremely intelligent, but is there any way you can save Zixiu's life?"
Yang Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Then... my father said that he would send someone to find Hua Tuo. Is there anything Hua Tuo can do?"
Yang Ling still smiled bitterly.
Hua Tuo is also a human being, not a god.
Now Cao Ang is almost in an advanced stage. This condition will be incurable in future generations, let alone now!
Yang Ling didn't say anything, just squeezed Cao Qing's hand and walked towards the mansion.
After returning to the house, Yang Ling ordered Guo Zhao to find several maids to take good care of Cao Qing, while he returned to the study.
He pondered for a long time and finally asked Guo Zhao to call Mi Zhen over.
"Husband, what happened?"
Mi Zhen was also very smart, and she had already noticed something was wrong from the expressions of Yang Ling and Cao Qing.
"There is no need to hide it from you. Master Zixiu...has an incurable disease."
Yang Ling sighed and told the whole story.
"It's really a twist of fate that such a good person like Mr. Zixiu could get such a terminal disease."
Mi Zhen also felt quite sorry.
When Cao Ang had just become Yang Ling's apprentice, he not only showed great respect to Yang Ling, but also showed great respect to her, his master's wife.
He doesn't always ask for help, but during holidays, he will come to his door to give gifts in person.
"Husband, you don't have to be too sad. Good people have their own destiny, and Master Zixiu may get better."
Mi Zhen comforted.
"I'm not just sad for Zixiu, I'm even more worried about the future fate of our Yang family..."
