Xiaoqi turned around in surprise and decided to become an official and think clearly.
The smile on Huizong's face was a bit forced, and there was also a hint of embarrassment. His eyes were slightly averted and he said, "The Queen's body is not in good health, and there is no good doctor to take care of her. I wonder if I can ask Xiao Qi to come to the palace every day?"
The joy in Xiao Qi's eyes quietly faded away. Although she was quite resentful of Huizong's actions, when she heard him call her Xiao Qi, she couldn't help but soften her heart and finally agreed.
Huizong was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to escort her out of the palace.
Immediately, he hurriedly summoned several trusted ministers into the palace to discuss important matters. ?.?????.???
Several ministers headed by Han Zhongyan had already received news of the changes in the palace, so they did not dare to sleep. When they heard the official summons, they hurried into the palace.
After Huizong explained what had just happened to Han Zhongyan and others, he asked, "How does Prime Minister Han think I should choose?"
Han Zhongyan had given him many ideas. It was this person who wanted to confer Murong Fu as the vassal king in the first place, and it was also the person who instigated him to guard against his opponent afterwards. This shows that he was a man who knew how to adapt to the situation.
What Huizong valued most was Han Zhongyan's loyalty to him. As long as he was in court for a day, he could sit back and relax. Therefore, when he was in doubt, he would summon him to the palace to discuss countermeasures.
And Han Zhongyan never let him down every time, even this time.
Han Zhongyan calmly said, "A suspected disease has arisen in the minds of the officials. This is an asymptomatic disease. If King Yan's medical skills are really superb, why not ask him to return to the capital and eliminate this disease for the officials?"
Huizong was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Xiang Han also thinks that he wants King Yan to return to the capital?"
Han Zhongyan said, "The reason why the officials are hesitant is simply the illness suffered by the queen and the safety of the country in the Song Dynasty. However, I believe that if King Yan returns to Beijing, both diseases can be cured by medicine."
Huizong vaguely guessed something, but he was still a little unsure and asked, "Are you a little too hasty?"
Han Zhongyan said, "The Yanbei army is on the northern expedition, and the lonely king has returned to the capital. Don't the officials think this is a God-given opportunity?"
Huizong hesitated and said, "It's just that everyone in the world..."
Han Zhongyan raised his head slightly, with a cold light in his eyes, and slowly uttered a few words from his mouth.
"If you want to impose a crime... why bother?"
Hearing this, several ministers behind him were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat and lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath.
The expression on Huizong's face gradually became subtle.
"After half a month, if no one can cure the queen's illness, I will send an oral message to summon King Yan back to the capital!"
"My lord, take the order!"
Han Zhongyan slowly lowered his head, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
As soon as Xiao Qi returned to the palace, he immediately wrote a letter asking the people from Shadow Tower to take him back to Yan Bei.
The general content of the letter was to inform Wang Yuyan and the others of their current situation, as well as the major events that happened in Bianjing. At the same time, the letter also mentioned that Murong Fu should return to Longcheng as soon as possible. If there were changes in the capital, he would need to come immediately on the divine eagle, or Can save them and return to Yanbei safely.
Xiao Qi believed that the only person in the world who could cure the queen was Murong Fu. Although the official was unwilling to agree at the moment, he would definitely agree to the matter when the queen was really critically ill, lest Murong Fu would not be able to rush there. Come, Xiao Qi then sent a message asking Murong Fu to return to Yanbei in advance and wait there. As soon as the official agreed, he could rush there on the divine eagle as soon as possible.
As time passed, all the famous doctors in the world who were proud of their medical skills rushed to Bianjing City. Even doctors from Xixia, Dali, Tubo, and Daliao came all the way after learning about this incident.
Some of them are for the sake of fame, and some are agents sent by various countries, hoping to take the opportunity to sneak into the team and learn about the Song Dynasty.
Suddenly, there were more and more unfamiliar faces in Bianjing. There were dozens of famous doctors recorded in the Kaifeng government office alone, and there were even more doctors who had ancestral folk prescriptions that could cure serious illnesses. There were hundreds of people, but after all, this was to treat the queen, and it was impossible to let everyone try it. The government had no choice but to order the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to screen these private doctors.
If there are any suitable ones, bring them into the palace and let the imperial doctor review them again, so that the queen can be treated.
The people at Tai Hospital have personally diagnosed the Queen's condition, so they can know the depth of the Queen's condition with just a few tortures. There is no need to conduct unified screening to test their medical skills.
Ten days had passed since the Queen became seriously ill, and thousands of doctors had arrived from all over the country. After being screened by the Imperial Hospital and the imperial doctors, only six were barely qualified and could enter the palace to diagnose the Queen.
When Huizong rushed to Renming Hall full of hope, all he saw were quack doctors who bowed their heads and shook their heads after taking pulses.
Although they could tell the Queen's illness, they could never find the cause of the disease. They happened to catch up with Xiao Qi when she was performing acupuncture on the Queen every day. After seeing her mysterious acupuncture skills, the six people felt ashamed. I originally wanted to take the risk of pricking the acupuncture points with silver needles, but now it seems that with their medical skills, even using silver needles to prick the acupoints is useless. If they don't do it well, they will be charged with desecrating the Holy Eucharist, which is unbearable. .
Seeing the useless six people, Huizong's inner anger instantly surged, and he almost couldn't help but let the guards drag them out and kill them.
Is it possible that except Murong Fu, no one in the world really can heal his queen?
After waiting for another three days, seeing that there were only seventeen days left in the first month that Xiao Qi said, Huizong summoned Han Zhongyan and several ministers of the court again that night. After discussing for a whole night, they found him the next day. Princess Yan agreed to summon King Yan back to the capital to treat the queen's illness.
Seeing that Guan Jia finally relented, Xiao Qi felt relieved that everything was still turning around.
Not many days later, Murong Fu, who was far away in Longcheng, Yanbei, received an oral order from the emperor brought by the envoy of the Song Dynasty, telling him to return to Beijing immediately.
Murong Fu and others had already learned about this matter from the news sent back from the Shadow Tower, but he did not rush to Bianjing. Instead, he asked Wang Yuyan and the others to come forward to deal with it, saying that he was in Saibei and it would take several days to get back and forth. day.
The envoys of the Song Dynasty knew that this matter was related to the queen's safety. Even though they were impatient and restless, they had no choice but to come and urge her from time to time, for fear that they would not be able to return in time and commit a serious crime.
Murong Fu already knew the Queen's condition from the message sent from the Shadow Tower, and also deduced the location of the Queen's illness. Strictly speaking, the level of medical skills in this world alone could not cure the Queen's hidden illness at all. Like Xiao Qi’s mother, she can use the Marrow Cleansing Sutra to extend her life.
Empress Wang's condition was much more serious than that of Empress Dowager Zhu. Even after treatment and dietary supplements, she would not live for more than two years, so Murong Fucai was not in a hurry to rush to Bianjing with his envoys for treatment.
After all, he couldn't cure Empress Wang. If he died too early but had this result, Huizong would definitely not accept his kindness, and it would undoubtedly be a thankless task.
In this case, the best results can only be achieved by waiting until the most critical moment to turn the tide. Even if he cannot completely cure Queen Wang's illness, Huizong will feel a little grateful in his heart.
