"Chongpachi, I may not have that much time."
As soon as Queen Ma said these words, Lao Zhu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition emerged.
The corners of his mouth twitched irregularly, as if he wanted to smile, but couldn't.
"Sister, sister."
"You're joking with us, right?"
What Lao Zhu said was extremely unconfident.
"Chongba, I know my own body well." Empress Ma said slowly, leaning on Lao Zhu's shoulder in a weak tone.
After holding on for nearly two months, she could no longer hold on any longer, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed Yang Xuan.
"Sister, you, don't scare us." Lao Zhu hugged Queen Ma and said in a trembling tone.
"Come here, call the doctor, call the doctor quickly." Lao Zhu shouted towards the door again.
"Chongba." Queen Ma whispered, shaking her head.
"Sister, it's okay, we'll be fine, ah!"
Lao Zhu hugged Queen Ma tightly and said.
Soon, the imperial doctor rushed over to diagnose Queen Ma.
Lao Zhu was standing by, looking anxious.
"Cure the queen, reward her with ten thousand gold, and make her a marquis."
"If you can't cure it, I'll kill you."
Lao Zhu said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I will do my best."
All the imperial doctors knelt down and said.
In fact, they knew in their hearts that Queen Ma was extremely ill and could not be cured without medicine.
All they can do is try their best to support the future of Ma Huang.
"Chongba." At this time, Queen Ma shook her head at Lao Zhu, signaling him not to embarrass these imperial doctors.
She knew these people had done their best.
"Sister, don't worry, I told you, you will be fine."
"We don't believe it. There is no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can cure you."
"Sister, you have a good rest first."
Lao Zhu walked out of Kunning Palace and called people to pass on the decree and announce it to the world.
As long as someone can cure the queen, he will be made a marquis directly.
Not long after, Yang Xuan, who was assisting Zhu Biao in handling government affairs in the East Palace, also learned of Lao Zhu's will.
He was filled with doubts and confusion.
"Your Highness, when I left the empress, the empress was still fine. How could your Majesty give such a decree?" He went to Zhu Biao to ask.
"I don't know either." Zhu Biao had a similar reaction.
But soon, they knew the specific situation.
Queen Ma's condition worsened.
"Why is this happening?" Yang Xuan was puzzled.
…
As soon as Lao Zhu's decree came out, the government and the public were in an uproar.
No one expected that Queen Ma's condition would suddenly deteriorate.
All the officials were anxious, the Ming Dynasty could not live without Queen Ma.
Without Empress Ma, when Lao Zhu wanted to kill someone, no one could persuade him.
Therefore, whether it is for their own life safety or not, they mobilize their own strength to find doctors.
At the same time, people inside and outside the capital spontaneously prayed for Queen Ma.
It can be said that this is what people want.
In the following days, doctors came in and out of the palace every day.
Of course, there were also doctors who were not good at medical skills and were directly chopped down by the angry Lao Zhu.
These days, Lao Zhu basically stayed with Queen Ma, leaving all matters in the court to Zhu Biao.
Yang Xuan followed Zhu Biao and saw him losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The busy government affairs did not allow Yang Xuan to have time to visit Queen Ma.
He only saw that many people came in and out of Kunning Palace every day.
Now it's August, and Queen Ma's health is not getting better, on the contrary, it's getting worse.
The anxious Lao Zhu kept giving orders every day, and the rewards became higher and higher.
Seeing that the imperial doctor had no solution, Lao Zhu even summoned Taoist monks into the palace to pray for Queen Ma.
As long as Empress Ma can be cured, Lao Zhu will give it a try no matter what method it is.
…
In the East Palace, the eunuch beside Lao Zhu found Yang Xuan and conveyed Lao Zhu's will.
Soon, Yang Xuan was brought to Kunning Palace.
The area outside was almost entirely occupied by Taoist priests and monks. The two sides were clearly divided and were praying for the queen in their own way.
"Yang Xuan, the queen wants to see you." Lao Zhu said directly when he saw Yang Xuan.
Lao Zhu's face looked very ugly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It can be seen that during this period, he did not get a good rest at all.
Entering Kunning Palace, the place was almost filled with imperial doctors, private doctors, princes and princesses, and the serving maids and eunuchs.
Yang Xuan frowned slightly.
With so many people, there is no air circulation at all. Patients cannot breathe fresh air, and their condition will only worsen faster.
Although he doesn't know medical skills, he has never been hospitalized in his previous life, so he naturally knows that the ward needs air circulation.
Yang Xuan organized his words and whispered to Lao Zhu about the benefits of air circulation.
"Do you also know medical skills?" Lao Zhu looked at Yang Xuan and asked, feeling a sense of hope in his heart.
"If I knew medical skills, how could I watch my mother's condition worsen and remain indifferent." Yang Xuan shook his head and said bitterly.
well!
Lao Zhu sighed inwardly.
In fact, he also knew that Yang Xuan could not have medical skills.
Because he knows all Yang Xuan's experiences from birth to now.
Most of the people in Kunning Palace were driven out, and the windows were opened to allow air to circulate.
Lao Zhu and Yang Xuan walked to Queen Ma's bed.
At this time, Queen Ma's condition was worse than what Yang Xuan saw when she returned to Beijing.
Yang Xuan couldn't believe it, this was Queen Ma?
In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.
"Yang Xuan, you have also seen that I, an old woman, only have a few days left."
"How have you considered what I told you last time?" Queen Ma said slowly.
She wanted to see her daughter get married before her death. This was her wish.
Seeing that Queen Ma was like this, she was still thinking about herself and An Qing.
Yang Xuan simply couldn't say no.
Although this goes against my own principles.
"I listen to your Majesty," Yang Xuan said.
"Okay, okay." Queen Ma smiled.
Lao Zhu on the side didn't say anything.
Now, Lao Zhu will not refuse anything Queen Ma wants to do.
On the same day, Lao Zhu issued a decree to marry Yang Xuan and Princess Anqing.
The first reaction of the officials and people when they heard the news was that Lao Zhu wanted to celebrate Empress Ma.
After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen among the people.
Lao Zhu didn't explain anything. Since everyone thought it was a matter of happiness, it should be regarded as a matter of preference.
Maybe a miracle will happen.
At the same time, Lao Zhu also settled Yang Xuan's contribution to the Northern Expedition last year and named him Uncle Zhongyong.
And he was given a mansion near the Duke of Wei's mansion.
The size of the mansion has exceeded the expected size of an Earl's Palace, and is similar to that of a Marquis' Palace.
At this point, Yang Xuan officially moved out of Wei Guogong's mansion.
Yang Xuan is an orphan and has no elders. For such a big event as marrying a princess, the teacher Xu Da must be present.
Lao Zhu rushed to Babaili and summoned Xu Da back to Beijing.
Within ten days, Xu Da had already returned to the capital.
At this time, Yang Xuan's Earl's Mansion was almost decorated.
