Chapter 80 The Queen’s Disease
Kunning Palace was in chaos.
Kunning Palace, which is usually quite spacious, seems a bit crowded now.
All the kings are there, both adults and minors. All the princesses are here too, and the princesses have arrived. There are dozens of people here. Not to mention these maids, and even the emperor's grandson and grandson. Kunning Palace was almost completely packed.
However, except for a few older princes, princes, and Zhu Yuanzhang, most of them were waiting outside for news.
But after He Xi was brought here, he was brought directly into the inner room without any hindrance.
There was also tension in the inner room. The most nervous one should be Doctor Dai.
He has been busy in the innermost room at the moment. There was no time to come out at all.
After He Xi came in, he felt that the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Zhu Yuanzhang fell down on the Taishi chair, but did not sit upright. Instead, he slanted his body and looked in the direction of the inner room. His whole body was slightly leaning forward, and his eyes were fixed on the door of the inner room. The crowds coming in and out could not change his sight. . It seemed that something caught Zhu Yuanzhang's sight. Zhu Yuanzhang's lips opened slightly. Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang himself didn't notice this. His feet were on the side steps of the chair, but his toes were touching the ground. This was a gesture of being able to get up at any time. As if a gunshot fired, Zhu Yuanzhang could start running.
He was like a fish suspended by invisible threads. Because of the power of the silk thread, I had to assume an unnatural posture.
He Xi can also be regarded as a close minister of Zhu Yuanzhang. This year, I don’t know how many times I saw Zhu Yuanzhang. The Zhu Yuanzhang he saw was always calm and composed, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his expression remained unchanged. He Xi even suspected that even if someone suddenly rebelled and the rebels fought at the gate of the imperial city, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to show his panic.
Now he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a state of despair and despair.
He Xi stepped forward and saluted and said, "Father, my son is here."
"Yeah." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at He Xi at all, but just hummed softly. He turned to look at him, and then confirmed that it was He Xi, and grabbed He Xi's shoulders. Said: "Do the medicines you brought work or not? Do they work?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was killed on the battlefield, although he is now over fifty years old. But his hands grabbed He Xi's shoulders, like iron hooks, clawing deeply into his flesh. He Xi was in pain for a while, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.
Because he didn't know what to say.
He had made all the preparations he could. Zhu Yuanzhang also knew all this.
And Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously irrational now. What's the use of telling him at this time?
"Dr. Dai, come out." The prince quickly took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand. Tell Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and saw Doctor Dai coming out, he immediately let He Xi go. He stepped forward and said with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Doctor Dai, how is the queen's condition?"
Dai Shenyi said: "Your Majesty, the queen is not in danger for the time being. According to my judgment, the queen probably became ill at the fifth watch. In the morning, the condition became more and more severe. The high fever did not go away, so I contacted three prescriptions and underwent acupuncture many times. , the queen’s body temperature has cooled down. The queen will wake up after a while.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with great joy: "So, the queen's illness is cured?"
Doctor Dai was sweating profusely and said: "No. I just suppressed it. I estimate that in two hours, sooner or later, I will come again like this morning. And the frequency is getting faster and faster. More and more. Quickly, until------"
Doctor Dai didn't need to explain it too clearly. Everyone understood the implication.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again."
Dai Yuanli said: "Your Majesty, the Queen is suffering from rheumatism and lung-heat, but the attack is too fierce. If the Queen cannot bear it------"
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to lose his temper when he heard a gentle cough inside.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma have been married for many years, and they couldn't be more familiar with each other. Just by hearing this cough, I knew it was Queen Ma's voice. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care about other people. He just broke in. The others were about to follow, but were stopped by Dai Yuanli.
Dai Yuanli said: "The Queen is very weak even when she wakes up. At this time, if so many of you go in, the space inside is too small. You should wait until the Queen calls you."
Everyone can only wait outside.
------
In front of Queen Ma's bed, Zhu Yuanzhang, regardless of his image, knelt in front of the bed and grabbed Queen Ma's hand, with tears in his eyes that seemed ready to burst out at any moment. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been known for his hard-hearted heart, has vented all his emotions to this day.
Empress Ma touched Zhu Yuanzhang's old face full of grooves with her hands, coughed twice and said, "You are the lord of the world, how can you cry casually?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In front of others, I am the master of the world. In front of you, I will always be Zhu Chongba. Is there anything I can't do?"
Queen Ma said, "I think I can't survive. It's probably God's will. After all, I couldn't celebrate your fifty-fifth birthday. God has been so lucky to me, allowing me to meet the greatest hero in the world. But God has treated me so well." How cruel, we have only been together for more than thirty years, which is too little. This is too little."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Empress Ma acting like this, he held back his tears, and his tone was a little more optimistic, cheering Empress Ma on. said. "Girl, you can't say that. You can't get discouraged first. Treating a disease is like fighting a war. Even if you only have one soldier, you have to have the courage to fight. How will you know if you can't win if you don't try? If you get discouraged first, you will never be able to win. You can't win. Listen to me, I have never lost a battle in my life."
Queen Ma said: "Okay. Okay. Okay."
Although Queen Ma spoke well, her eyes were full of tears. Look at Zhu Yuanzhang thirty years later with the eyes of thirty years ago. I wish I could carve Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance into my eyes and never forget him in this lifetime?
No, never forget forever.
"You need to promise me something." Queen Ma said.
"Okay. No matter how many things you do, I promise you." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Queen Ma said: "I know that Doctor Dai is a capable person. If I really can't save him, it will be God's will. You need to treat Doctor Dai well, don't think that I don't know. Even if thousands of years later, the four great families of Jin and Yuan Look, it is also the pinnacle of medicine. Dai Shenyi, a disciple of a famous family, is better than his master. There may not be a better doctor than him in the world. If I really can’t save him, it’s God’s will. We can’t let anything happen to such a good doctor, otherwise I am also uneasy under the spring."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay."
Although he agreed. But there was an anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's chest that could not be vented. He didn't know who to blame. In the end, this anger condensed into murderous intent. But in front of Queen Ma, she didn't show it at all.
Queen Ma said: "Let Dai Shenyi come in together with He Xi. Let's discuss my illness so that I can die in peace."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You can't keep talking about whether you will die or not. It is unlucky."
Queen Ma said: "I won't say anything."
After a while, Doctor Dai and He Xi came in.
Queen Ma said: "Dr. Dai, I have always known how powerful you are. Tell me straight away, what is my disease like? How sure are you?"
Dai Yuanli pondered for a moment and said: "Thirty percent. Only 30%. The Queen's illness is coming on too fast, unbelievably fast. The speed of my medication cannot keep up with the change of the condition. This morning, I changed three prescriptions in a row before I could stop it. . If the condition continues to worsen, I have no choice but to take drastic measures. Seek a chance of survival. But this kind of drastic action requires the use of tiger and wolf medicine, and the dose is also very high. I am not sure. I can only say that it is 30%."
In fact, Dai Yuanli said that 30% of the cases were caused by his own ambush. He was actually 50% sure.
But the patient in front of me is no ordinary person. Dai Yuanli must think about himself. But he still has the heart of a doctor and a parent, and has no hesitation on key matters. An ordinary doctor would have declared that there was no cure at this moment.
Why? Because Dai Yuanli, a master of medicine, said to use tiger and wolf medicine, it is not an ordinary tiger and wolf medicine. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is poison. It is several times or even dozens of times the dosage of many prescriptions. A normal person would take a dose that would almost kill him.
