Doctor Wu never thought that the Queen Mother would directly threaten his life. He was afraid of death, but he would die if he was given the medicine. He kowtowed to the ground with "bang, bang".
"I beg the Queen Mother to spare this humble minister, please beg the Queen Mother..."
"You still don't understand."
The Queen Mother was weak and looked down at the man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
"The Ai family has never wanted your life. All they want is the stability of the court. If you can help the Ai family, the Ai family will naturally give you a good future."
Seeing that Doctor Wu lowered his head and refused to say anything, the Queen Mother's voice became a little colder.
"The Ai family remembers that the youngest son in your family has just turned four years old, which is the age of enlightenment. You have been doing your best to treat the Ai family recently. From tomorrow on, you will send the child to the palace to attend school, and he will follow the little princes in the palace. Go to the study room and study.”
"And your wife and eldest daughter are both gentle, virtuous, disciplined and sensible. The Ai family likes them very much..."
"The Queen Mother!!"
Doctor Wu looked in great sorrow and blurted out to interrupt the Queen Mother's unfinished words. When he met the Queen Mother's calm and frightening eyes, even the last bit of blood on his face faded away, and he kowtowed suddenly.
"The Queen Mother, please forgive me. I was just confused. I will definitely follow the Queen Mother's instructions and do my best to nurse you back to health. I will make sure you get better and will never worry Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother looked at him: "Then if others ask about the Ai family..."
"The Queen Mother is fine."
Doctor Wu answered resolutely: "Although you have been sick for a long time, the root of your illness has not been damaged. Qin Tianjian said that there are extraordinary talents in the astrology, and the Queen Mother is difficult to recover. All the princesses and ladies came to the palace to attend to the illness, and the Queen Mother was in a happy mood. His health seems to be improving."
A satisfied smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face: "Mr. Wu is a smart man."
Doctor Wu wished that he was as stupid as a pig and didn't know anything, but now he had no way out. Even if he knew that there was a dead end ahead, he could only go on bravely.
When he came out of the Queen Mother's chamber, even though Doctor Wu felt like he was mourning and wanted to pass out, he didn't dare to show any trace of his face. He stood in the door and rubbed his cheeks hard several times, waiting for his pale face to clear up. Ruddy, after diluting the unnatural panic.
Doctor Wu took deep breaths several times to adjust his complexion, and then walked out with a smile.
During this time, the Shoukang Palace was full of sorrow, and everyone was cautious and full of anxiety. Especially the look on the imperial doctor's face after every diagnosis for the Queen Mother made people even more worried. But now, he suddenly saw the smiling face of the imperial physician Wu. , everyone is surprised.
The maid guarding the door lowered her voice: "Why does Dr. Wu look so happy today? It's the Queen Mother..."
"The Queen Mother is getting better."
"real?"
"of course it's true."
Doctor Wu said with a smile: "Although the Queen Mother is still a little weak, she is in a much better state than before. It seems that what the people in the Qintian Prison said is true, and the thing about the lucky star clashing with evil spirits is really useful. , I have to go back and make two new prescriptions so that the Queen Mother can recover as soon as possible."
The palace attendants in Shoukang Palace were all happy when they heard this.
Their life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother is well, they, the servants of Shoukang Palace, will still be superior in the palace and more powerful than the palace servants in other palaces. But if the Queen Mother is gone, they will be They will be sent to other palaces.
If His Majesty expresses his anger in pain, they may have to be buried with the Queen Mother.
No one hopes for the Queen Mother's well-being more than the people in Shoukang Palace. The palace maid who spoke earlier said quickly: "That slave is going to get the medicine with Doctor Wu."
On the other side of the bedroom, Nanny Ran watched Doctor Wu leave through the door, then turned back to the Queen Mother's bed, recounted the conversation outside to the Queen Mother, and then whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Wu did not alarm anyone else."
The Queen Mother said weakly: "Ai Jia said that he is a smart man."
"Then that kid from the Wu family..."
"It's better to send him to the palace. The Ai family's health has improved. As an imperial physician, he has made great contributions in treating the Ai family. Naturally, he should be rewarded."
Aunt Ran whispered: "Okay, I will send someone to the Lu family later."
The Queen Mother was relieved, and she relaxed after hearing this. She leaned on the pillow with her eyebrows relaxed and a weak smile appeared on her face, but the smile froze in an instant. The Queen Mother was still fine the next moment. Suddenly he lowered his head and coughed violently.
The coughing sound was suppressed as soon as it started. As if she was worried about being heard by the outside world, the Queen Mother held the handkerchief and covered her mouth hard, her throat trembled rapidly, and the muffled cough coming from the chest shook her head. Her body also started to tremble.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and veins appeared on the back of his hands. He used all his strength to suppress the ferocious cough, but his hands slipped down as if they were out of strength, and he fell forward unable to support himself.
"The Queen Mother!!"
Aunt Ran quickly supported the Queen Mother and said, "What's wrong with you? I'm going to find Dr. Wu..."
"Come back, cough cough cough!"
The Queen Mother held Nanny Ran's hand and coughed while suppressing her throat. Her face turned red due to the suffocation. While she coughed, she whispered: "The Ai family is fine."
But Aunt Ran didn't believe it at all. When she turned around to support the Queen Mother, she could feel her body shaking violently. She couldn't go to the imperial doctor, so she could only hurriedly take out the pills that the Imperial Doctor Wu had left from her sleeve, and got some water for the Queen Mother to take. Then he gently patted her back with his hand to give her air.
The Queen Mother coughed heavily, and it took a long time to calm down slightly.
Her face was abnormally red, and there were blood stains on the handkerchief that fell to the ground. Maybe it was because the previous medicine had lost its effect, or maybe it was because the energy she had held on was washed away.
The Queen Mother became much weaker, and there was an uncomfortable wheezing sound in her throat even when she spoke.
Aunt Ran said: "You can't do this. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on if you continue like this. If you don't want people to know, then I'll quietly go and ask Dr. Wu to come back and tell me that there are things that I haven't explained clearly just now. No one will doubt me." of."
The Queen Mother shook her head: "No need."
"Empress..."
"Aijia said no, he came back just to give Aijia a few injections to make Aijia sleep for a while. Aijia has been like this for more than a day or two." The Queen Mother coughed twice, and her chest felt uncomfortable: " It took a lot of effort for the Ai family to hide this body, so don’t show it off to others.”
"But you..."
Aunt Ran's eyes turned red. Seeing that the Queen Mother was so weak but still refused to let the imperial doctor come back, she couldn't help but said: "How can you hold on to such a thing? Your body can't bear it. Let the imperial doctor see it." See if it can be lighter at least."
The Queen Mother shook her head: "What's the use of being brisk? Don't ruin the business."
Aunt Ran was a little angry: "Nothing is as serious as yours! When Your Majesty came to look for you, I should have stopped him. I shouldn't have let him tell you what he had or didn't have."
"He never consulted with you about matters in the court that should have been his own. How can he bear to let you do this for him now..."
