Changsun Wugou's pulse was very, very slow.
Pulse is the continuation of heartbeat, which means... her heart can't beat a little.
Xu Fenglei looked at Changsun Wugou lying on the bed.
Her eyes were closed, her breathing was still steady, but her brows were slightly frowned.
Obviously, even in a coma, her body was still instinctively expressing pain.
For a moment, Xu Fenglei didn't know where to start.
He suddenly regretted why he didn't study medicine properly.
Li Shimin is looking at himself.
Cheng Qian, Li Zhi, Qing Que... were all looking at him.
Their eyes were red, but filled with hope and expectation... How could he dare to live up to this?
"...The Queen, she must be overtired."
Xu Fenglei stood up slowly and said,
"But she is weak and needs less medicine than the average person."
"Only Zhenren Sun can grasp this speed. Just wait a moment."
Li Shimin stood up suddenly.
"Xu Fenglei, you liar!"
He stared at Xu Fenglei with red eyes and growled,
"Didn't you tell me that as long as I follow your instructions, Guanyin will be fine?"
"Didn't you say that as long as she eats according to your plan and exercises, she will get better?"
"Didn't you say that as long as I no longer have children with her and no longer consume her body, she can live a long life!"
"But now... now! Tell me, why is she like this? Why is her body still getting weaker and weaker?!"
"I watched helplessly, every day! Watching her...she..."
"Tell me, tell me! Tell me!"
Li Shimin was so excited that he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Fenglei's collar!
That look seemed to kill someone!
Xu Fenglei felt guilty.
He didn't know how to explain to Li Shimin.
He didn't know why despite all his efforts, Changsun Wugou's body was still visibly weakening.
Even... it is declining faster than in the original historical trajectory...
why is that?
He couldn't figure it out and couldn't come up with an answer.
"Father, please please calm down..."
"Father, please let go..."
"Don't make any noise, okay..."
When the three children saw their father about to hit their master, they were all anxious and stepped forward to start a fight.
"snort!"
Li Shimin's eyes were red and he said coldly,
"Let me tell you, if Guanyin Maid can get better, I can apologize to you personally!"
"But if you can't...just wait, just wait!"
Wow!
After saying these words, he rolled his sleeves and walked out of the house.
Xu Fenglei stood there, silent.
"Master..."
Li Chengqian tugged at the corner of Xu Fenglei's clothes and said with a scared look,
"Queen Mother, will she be fine?"
Li Tai also looked at Xu Fenglei with an uneasy look on his face.
They are both half-adults now and have experienced many things.
They even had beards on their lips, like adult men.
But the current situation has brought them back to their childhood, the kind of panic and uneasiness that requires the comfort of adults.
Only Li Lizhi looked down at her toes and said nothing.
"No, no."
Xu Fenglei forced a smile and said,
"As long as Zhenren Sun comes, your mother will definitely wake up."
The words just fell.
There was a steady sound of footsteps.
But he saw Sun Simiao walking into the house carrying a small medicine box.
"Grandpa Sun."
"Grandpa Sun."
Sun Simiao and Li Lizhi's medical teachers were also highly respected by Li Chengqian and others, so naturally they all called them grandpa.
As soon as he walked in, Li Shimin followed behind.
But he didn't look at Xu Fenglei. All eyes were focused on Sun Simiao, as if he was the only light.
"Master Sun."
Xu Fenglei also shouted, his eyes deep.
Sun Simiao did not reply, but walked to the bedside and held Changsun Wugou's wrist.
Li Shimin came forward and stared at Sun Simiao, trying to see some useful information from his face.
However, Sun Simiao's expression did not change at all, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
He casually opened the medicine box and began to administer acupuncture.
Swish.
Acupuncture pays attention to immediate results. One injection will definitely produce results.
After a few needles fell, Changsun Wujia, who was lying down, let out a cry, raised his neck, and opened his eyes slightly.
"Guanyin Maid!"
Li Shimin cried with joy and held his wife's hand.
He could feel the coldness of those hands.
But he is not afraid, he can warm her with his own hands!
"Two Phoenixes..."
Changsun Wugu said softly with a smile on his face,
"Why is it that for such a big battle, Master Sun has even been invited?"
"I thought I heard you and Ting Ming arguing just now? I was actually too tired and couldn't hold on anymore. I didn't know it, and thought I could hold on longer..."
"Don't blame him..."
Li Shimin looked a little ashamed and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, my fault, it was my fault."
He quickly admitted his mistake and said in a trembling voice,
"It would be great if you could wake up, it would be great if you could wake up."
"I just lost my father, I can't lose you...Guanyin Maid, I don't know how to live without you..."
Changsun Wuguo shook his head and laughed.
"How can anyone not survive without the other person?"
She gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Li Shimin's eyes, and said softly,
"You are so stupid."
"Even if I'm gone, you still have to live a good life. I'm not the only one in your world."
Li Shimin shook his head wildly.
"My world is not just about you, but my world cannot be without you."
He looked firm and said emotionally,
"Mr. Guanyin, we have been husband and wife for twenty years. Twenty years... we have become one and the same. We are indistinguishable from each other."
"You have to be good, you...did you hear it?"
Changsun Wugou laughed and nodded gently.
"Hear it, hear it, hear it with both ears."
Hearing this, the three children laughed.
"Father, there are times like this too..."
"Father is a crybaby! I've known it for a long time..."
"..."
The atmosphere in the room was relaxed.
Sun Simiao wrote the prescription on the side and handed it to Li Lizhi.
"Li Zhi, please arrange to get some medicine."
"Listen, please come out with me."
Li Lizhi took the prescription and lowered her head to grab the medicine.
Xu Fenglei nodded silently and followed Sun Simiao outside the house.
"Listen clearly...you know."
Sun Simiao looked at Xu Fenglei, then glanced into the room, and said softly,
"The Queen seems to be suffering from heart failure."
"I said that I have been taking care of her over the years, but her health is getting worse."
"Medical medicine... is not omnipotent."
Chinese medicine is very powerful.
Many diseases can be cured, but there are also many diseases that cannot be cured.
Being able to alleviate and delay people's death is already pretty good.
"Then...what should we do?"
Xu Fenglei was silent for a while before he spoke.
He thought about the medical level of future generations.
If those rich people in later generations encounter this kind of situation, they might be able to rely on various advanced instruments to extend their lives, right?
If those European royal families, queens, kings, etc., would have specialized medical teams to develop instruments and medicines for her, right?
But now is the Tang Dynasty... Even the most noble people in the world cannot enjoy those things, and medical technology cannot make breakthroughs in a short time.
Sun Simiao is a miracle doctor, but he is not really a god after all...
"I don't know either."
Sun Simiao said softly,
"I can only tell you, the Queen... her time is running out."
"Originally it was fine, but this time she stayed up for so many nights in a row. The burden on her heart was really too great. Even a healthy person can't bear it, let alone her."
"So, this time it has worsened further and will be difficult to reverse."
Xu Fenglei trembled all over.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble when he heard Sun Simiao say such words.
"Is there really no other way? Even if it lasts a few more years, it would be good."
He refused to give up and begged,
"Master Sun, please, please, okay?"
"If you think of a solution, think of a solution...there are so many ancient books and so many medical books, but there is not even half a solution?"
"If it doesn't work, please help me think about it and come up with a solution. You are a miracle doctor!"
Queen, what a wonderful person you are.
Kind, generous, virtuous, gentle and prosperous.
She almost brings together all the advantages of a woman! Praise for future generations as a virtuous queen through the ages!
I have been friends with her for many years, how could I bear to see her die?
"The miracle doctor is just a boast. I only have human power, not divine power."
Sun Simiao smiled bitterly and said,
"The Queen is also very kind to me. Do you think I deliberately refuse to save you?"
"If you insist on me renewing her life, it's not impossible, but I don't agree with that kind of renewal method..."
"Do you know the elixirs taken by emperors throughout history?"
Xu Fenglei was startled.
"How to say?"
He frowned and said,
"Didn't those emperors all die after taking elixirs?"
"I'm still wondering. Each of them was a wise king in the past, but they have become dim when they get old. Isn't that nonsense if they want some medicine for immortality..."
Sun Simiao shook his head.
"Do you think that emperors are fools and they will believe it if the alchemist brags about it?"
He said in a deep voice,
"Actually, how could a strong emperor ever consider immortality or take pills?"
"Only when they are unable to do what they want and their bodies start to suffer, will they think of refining elixirs. And those elixirs are often effective at the beginning. Only then can they gain their trust."
"But in fact, this pill will make people die faster..."
"I know how to practice. After practicing, the Queen can return to normal for a period of time, and she can even run and jump. But after that, her body will definitely get worse and worse, which is irreversible. And when she really wants to die, it will be longer than a normal death. It will be uncomfortable and the appearance will be uglier.”
"Do you want it?"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
Of course he doesn’t want this kind of thing!
It is estimated that Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou will never accept it!
Now... we're at a dead end again.
what to do?
"Right now, the main thing is how to explain this matter to His Majesty and the Queen... By the way, that girl Li Zhi should be aware of it."
Sun Simiao sighed lightly,
"In my opinion, Your Majesty is more difficult to accept, but the Queen seems calm."
“Where to start is up to you.”
"I will come again every day from now on. I will try my best to prepare mugwort to add some energy."
After that, he turned around and left.
Xu Fenglei was left alone standing there, silent.
inside the house.
"Two Phoenixes."
"Hey, I'm here. I'm here." Li Shimin held his wife's hand and looked at her.
"Father, you still have to go to the funeral."
Changsun Wugou said softly,
"If you and I are both here, people will gossip about you."
Li Shimin frowned.
"Who dares to gossip? I will chop him alive!"
He said angrily,
"The Queen is exhausted from the wake, what else do you want?"
"I don't even know who the evil person is who came up with the idea of keeping vigil for so many days! It's just a torment!"
"I'm not going! I'll let Cheng Qian do the work for me later! We're not going! It's all just a formality and useless! If this can represent filial piety, that's really ridiculous!"
Just now, Li Shimin blamed Xu Fenglei.
Now, blame the person who made this rule!
In fact, he subconsciously complained about Li Yuan. After all, his father died...
Of course, this is just a small resentful thought in your mind, so don't put it away immediately.
If others found out about this, they wouldn’t know how to criticize me verbally and in writing!
At least once the hat of an unfilial son is removed, it will never be taken off!
"OK OK……"
"Don't lose your temper. The formality is still necessary. After all, the relationship between you and my father was not very good before. It cannot be true. Even if people don't tell you now, it will not be good if future generations criticize you verbally. …”
"I don't want you to be scolded..."
Li Shimin's nose felt sore.
"Go there one more time, and then let Cheng Qian do the work for you."
Changsun Wugou said softly,
"I won't go. It's just like this... When I go, one more of you will cry."
At this moment, she became unusually humorous.
"No nonsense!"
Li Shimin covered her mouth with a slap and said viciously,
"Take good care of yourself, you hear me?"
"I guess Chang'an's feng shui is not good and it's not good for raising people. I'll ask Ting Ming to find a good place for you to raise people, and then we can move there."
"Leave state affairs to Cheng Qian and let him supervise the country! With Fang Xuanling as his assistant, it is very safe."
"I'll just stay with you for three years, five years, or ten years! Okay?"
Li Er began to think about his future pension plan.
At this moment, his mentality has changed... In the past, he only wanted to work hard and create a prosperous world.
Now.
He just wants to take pity on the person in front of him.
"Nonsense, in five or ten years, people will say that I am a beauty and a disaster, and I will be arranged to be Su Daji."
Changsun Wugou pursed his lips and smiled, waved his hand and said,
"I cherish my feathers and don't want to bear a bad reputation."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, I want to take a nap, I'm a little tired."
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt nervous.
"Okay... look at me, I've been chatting with you for so long and I forgot that you need to rest."
He continued,
"Have a good rest, husband, I'll come see you later..."
He hasn't used the title husband for a long time.
At that time, they had just gotten married and were both young.
The cry of "husband" made his heart feel sweet and itchy, and he wished he could eat this little girl in one bite.
At that time, they were the happiest and most loving.
But now, he used this title again, obviously trying to please his wife.
Changsun Wugou smiled brightly, revealing two pear dimples.
