Lu Xianchen hesitated for a long time on the issue of the Queen Mother Mingxi, whether to save or kill her. Until she was invited to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother, she still had not made up her mind.
The most powerful confidant around the Queen Mother was Aunt Zishuang. She welcomed Lu Xianchen from the door to the inner room. She muttered along the way, "The Queen Mother's body is related to the country. Please take a closer look at it."
I have only heard that the emperor's body is related to the country's foundation. Who dares to say that the queen mother's body is related to the country's foundation. The meaning revealed by this old palace maid is enough to make people shudder.
The system gave multiple choice questions. The Queen Mother Mingxi's health also deteriorated during this period. In the past two days, she had reached the point where she could no longer see people. She had to call the Tai Hospital, but it was of no use. Then she called in the Holy Doctor. female.
It was said that the old man was not going to die soon, but he felt that she was in good spirits. Under the leadership of Aunt Zishuang, Lu Xianchen walked into the inner room and saw the Empress Dowager Mingxi holding an old memorial. She did not open it and put it on the Rubbing with hands.
"My dear Queen Mother, she is a thousand years old." Lu Xianchen saluted.
"It doesn't take a thousand years for the Ai family to survive this summer." said the Empress Dowager Mingxi.
"The Queen Mother's blessings are endless, there is no need to say depressing words." Lu Xianchen said.
"Then Doctor Lu, let me see how long my blessings can last?" the Queen Mother said.
The moment she saw the Queen Mother, Lu Xianchen had an idea. She wanted to see what kind of person the Queen Mother Mingxi, whom she used as a tool in the original novel, was.
"The Queen Mother's illness is not like a one-day injury." Lu Xianchen said slowly, "It's like a disease that has been delayed for a long time."
The Empress Dowager Mingxi smiled: "She is indeed a medical woman from the Holy Medical Peak. She is much more powerful than the idlers from the Tai Hospital."
"Since ancient times, patients have been most afraid of hiding their illnesses and refusing to seek medical treatment. Over time, minor illnesses will turn into serious illnesses. Is it possible that the Queen Mother will tell the truth about her illness?" Lu Xianchen said.
Empress Dowager Mingxi waved her hand and signaled Aunt Zishuang to speak for her.
"To be fair to the doctor, the Empress Dowager has been ill for six years. She suffered from the disease when the late emperor left. In the past few years, the Imperial Hospital has been busy with His Majesty's illness, so the Empress Dowager can't pay much attention to it. Most of it is just the whole body during an attack. The weakness and drowsiness were thought to be caused by excessive sadness. It was not a serious problem and it was just a matter of taking care of it. However, it turned out to be what it is now."
How "busy" does the hospital have to be to not treat the Queen Mother?
It seemed that the Empress Dowager Mingxi knew all about the Imperial Hospital and did not allow anyone to get close to her.
Lu Xianchen nodded with a cold expression: "The symptom is weakness and drowsiness? Anger hurts the liver, and sadness overcomes anger. I think the death of the late emperor gave the Queen Mother a lot of stimulation, hurt her heart, and she didn't heal well. Now The most important thing is 'nurture'."
"The medical women are much more honest than the people at the Tai Hospital," the Queen Mother Mingxi smiled. "The people at the Tai Hospital knew clearly that the Ai family was hopeless, but they still pretended to write a long list of prescriptions, as if they could be cured by just drinking them. It's like coming back to life, but in fact it has no effect except a bitter taste in your mouth."
The Queen Mother looked out the window: "Thank you so much, the doctor, for announcing the death of the Ai family directly. At least you don't have to drink those decoctions."
"The Queen Mother is still in good spirits. If you want, you can go for a walk in the Royal Garden." Lu Xianchen suggested.
Su Panhan really didn't like to go out for a walk. He didn't even go around his own Cining Palace, let alone go to the Royal Garden.
"Although it is a bit hot in summer, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are in full bloom. Her Majesty can go and enjoy them."
She spoke twice, and the Empress Dowager Mingxi's eyes darkened: "Dr. Lu, do you know that if the Ai family really goes to the Imperial Garden with a sick body, you will be responsible for your suggestions. The emperor's illness still relies on you to treat it." .”
The Empress Dowager Mingxi is a smart person. She can see that the current imperial hospital is desperately trying to catch the little pigtails of this Dr. Lu, find a reason to punish her or send her away. The Queen Mother is seriously ill and may die at any time. This Dr. Lu If she were prudent, she would not take this trip to Cining Palace, but she came anyway, and even suggested that the Queen Mother go out for a "walk"!
When a person is about to die, what he cares about is his children and grandchildren. The emperor and the eldest princess look to Dr. Lu for their illness. The queen mother does not want to cause any trouble to her here.
Lu Xianchen nodded slightly: "His Majesty told me that he wanted to go out and have a look, but the Taiyuan Hospital always kept a close eye on him and did not allow him to move around. So my daughter took it personally and thought that people who have been sick for a long time are eager to see outside. Yes, if you are going to die soon, why can’t you enjoy the wind and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery at the end of your life?”
Her words seemed a bit naive to the ears of the Empress Dowager Mingxi. She had to sigh, "She is still a simple-minded child", but she was also a little moved by what she said about the blooming lotus.
"If the Ai family listens to your suggestion and goes to the Royal Garden, you will really be in doubt if something happens. Even if you come back well, you will inevitably be criticized and it will not be of much benefit. Has the medical lady really thought about it?" The Queen Mother? said.
Lu Xianchen lowered his head and said: "How can it be that it is not beneficial? The Queen Mother can see this beautiful scenery more and feel happier. This is the biggest benefit."
The Empress Dowager Mingxi closed her eyes deeply. She had been immersed in power for so many years. She said "for her own good" but actually stabbed her in too many things. In front of her, the girl from Shengyi Peak was unprofitable and huge. It is so stupid and so rare to say something that is true for oneself in a risky situation.
"The Ai family is leaving, and I don't intend to drag anyone down." Empress Dowager Mingxi turned her head.
Lu Xianchen couldn't tell how he felt at the moment. Behind her dominance in power, this queen mother was extremely harsh on herself. She knew that she was criticized for being a woman in charge of the world, so she was trying her best to do better every moment. He gave up on feelings and was shrewd in calculating interests. Until the last moment of his life, he was worried about the possible risks and refused to let himself enjoy it.
Lu Xianchen had to be a little disappointed because Su Fengyao voluntarily gave up her power. At this moment, she unconsciously compared the heroine with Su Panhan, the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty in front of her. If she were young and healthy, she would definitely He will not let the power slip away, he will not give up the responsibilities of the world to his seriously ill brother, and he will not give up the power of the royal family to the eyeing courtiers. Instead, he will hold the power in his own hands and rule the world.
"Queen Mother, I can shoulder any responsibility." Lu Xianchen suddenly knelt down.
Empress Dowager Mingxi opened her eyes and looked at her.
"Your Majesty, my parents and brother are the sword cultivators of Tianji Peak of the Yuanlu Sect. I have heard word of mouth from my elders about Princess Di Lan's graceful apprenticeship in her youth. Later, I also heard about your great achievements in upholding the legitimacy of the Su family. You are the most outstanding existence in my heart. Now I am lucky enough to meet you. It is my great honor that the Queen Mother is willing to protect my daughter and surrender to myself. My daughter, I cannot express my feelings at this moment. It may be excitement, or it may be a pity. Lu Xianchen said while kneeling.
The Empress Dowager Mingxi looked at the girl in front of her steadily.
"I am stupid and can't explain the Queen Mother's illness, but I sincerely hope that the Queen Mother will obey her wishes and leave no regrets at the end of her life. After six years in bed, she can see the sunshine in this midsummer and the lotus flowers blooming in the pond. , I can feel happy for a moment, and for this, I can bear any price." Lu Xianchen said sincerely.
The Empress Dowager Mingxi looked at Lu Xianchen's kneeling and moved her lips: "A silly girl like you can't survive in the court."
"I thank the Queen Mother for taking care of me. There is no need for the Queen Mother to consider my daughter. I only hope that the Queen Mother will make decisions according to her heart and not to wrong herself." Lu Xianchen said sincerely.
The Empress Dowager Mingxi smiled, showing a bit of the kindness of an elderly person: "That's all, I really want to see the lotus flowers that are blooming this year."
The Queen Mother is going to see the lotus flowers in the back garden, which is a big deal.
It took more than half an hour just to pack the Queen Mother's clothes. Several palace officials helped the Queen Mother get into the sedan chair very carefully.
Aunt Zishuang wanted to say something, but then looked at the Queen Mother's rare relaxed expression and bowed to Lu Xianchen.
This is a great courtesy for the Queen Mother's first confidant.
When the Imperial Hospital heard this, Fu Chengze hurried over and happened to bump into the Queen Mother about to go out.
A young imperial doctor next to him knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you must not go this way. Your Majesty is so weak that she is not suitable to move. If you go to the Imperial Garden, something big will happen. Who can give her advice?" This person definitely has no good intentions."
"The suggestion that no one made is that the Ai family wants to go out for a walk. Why, what does the Ai family want to do and they still have to listen to the imperial doctor?" said the Queen Mother Mingxi impatiently.
Fu Chengze hurriedly slapped the little imperial doctor on the head and said, "Don't mind, Queen Mother. This child is straight-tempered and speaks directly when he wants to say anything. He is also concerned about chaos. Naturally, I have no right to interfere with what the Queen Mother wants to do. It's just After all, this matter is not trivial, it concerns the health of the Queen Mother, and I hope the Queen Mother will allow the hospital to follow."
The Empress Dowager Mingxi looked for advice and fell on Lu Xianchen.
Although she didn't quite understand why the Queen Mother blamed this matter on herself, she still answered politely: "Doctor Fu will do things according to the rules, so of course I have no objection."
The fact that the Queen Mother is going to the Royal Garden is not a small matter. The Royal Hospital heard about it, and naturally the little emperor also heard about it.
It's just that the little emperor has far too few connections in the palace, and the news he heard has changed hands several times.
"You mean, the Imperial Grandmother wanted to see the lotus flowers in the lotus pond, and no one could stop her, so she asked Doctor Lu and Doctor Fu to follow her?"
At that time, Su Fengyao was teaching her younger brother to read the memorial. When she suddenly heard the news, she couldn't help but be startled: "The emperor's grandmother is not feeling well, how can she be so willful? If something happened, I can't explain it."
She rolled her eyes and suddenly had a bad guess. The imperial grandmother knew that the imperial hospital was very weird and her younger brother had been harmed by it. This time she was not in good health, so she had to drag the imperial doctor to see Hehua. Could it be for the sake of the little girl? The emperor clears the way?
Su Fengyao stood up suddenly, no, even if she had to deal with the lawless Fu Chengze, the imperial grandmother couldn't do anything stupid!
"I'm not busy with political affairs today. Dr. Lu accompanied the Imperial Grandmother to the Imperial Garden. Let's also go to the lotus pond to have a look." Su Fengyao stood up and said, "Come, Amo, let's go see the lotus and the Imperial Grandmother together." .”
Su Fengmo only heard that Dr. Lu was there and nodded happily.
