Chapter 331: 331 wake up
Chapter 331 Chapter 331 Wake up
This night in the palace was destined not to be a peaceful night, and many people had trouble sleeping all night.
After vomiting a mouthful of blood, the emperor became very weak and coughed repeatedly. He fainted on the way back to the palace and remained unconscious ever since.
After the Holy Master returned to the Yangxin Hall, the entire Yangxin Hall was in chaos, and many people were almost scared out of their wits.
The news spread quickly, and within a short time, almost half of the court heard about it, and the emperor vomited blood.
When Prince Gu Nanjin hurried over after hearing the news, the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital also arrived in the Yangxin Hall. They gathered around and were consulting the emperor. They were all frightened.
The queen had also arrived. Feng Yan was furious and asked Eunuch Ni angrily: "What happened?"
"Why did the Emperor leave the palace in the middle of the night?! Why didn't you stop him?"
"I was fine when I left the palace, but why have I become so sick just now?"
The queen's voice became more and more shrill and high-pitched.
Eunuch Ni was sweating profusely and his face was as pale as paper. He could hardly look into the Queen's eyes and said in a trembling voice: "The Emperor just went to Prince Chen's Mansion..."
"What?!" The Queen interrupted Eunuch Ni excitedly, "Did the Emperor become so angry that King Chen vomited blood?!"
The queen's expression was extremely complicated. She didn't know whether it was anger or surprise, but she was also secretly happy. She felt that this might be a good opportunity to attack Prince Chen's palace.
"Your Majesty, I have misunderstood." Eunuch Ni wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and explained, "His Royal Highness, Prince Chen, is not in the palace."
What? ! The queen's expression changed again, and she asked again: "What's going on?"
Eunuch Ni told the truth about the conversation between the emperor and the Queen Mother in Prince Chen's Mansion.
Queen: "..."
The queen didn't know what to say.
The emperor didn't even see King Chen, so he couldn't get involved with King Chen!
It can't be said that the emperor was angered by the queen mother?
It is natural for a mother to scold her son. Because of this, the son held his breath and even vomited blood in anger. That is the son being disrespectful to his mother and that is unfilial!
Therefore, the emperor can only be regarded as angry by himself.
The queen didn't care that there were so many palace servants and imperial doctors around her, and slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table.
The imperial doctors were still conferring around the dragon couch, with complex expressions on their faces. Some were sweating profusely, some were frowning worriedly, and some were panic-stricken...
Gu Nanjin walked back and forth several times with his hands behind his back. After waiting for a long time, he gradually realized that the imperial physician was obviously hesitant to speak and did not dare to speak.
Gu Nanjin simply asked the imperial doctor to take a step to talk, and the two of them went to the next door to talk.
When there were only two of them around, the imperial doctor relaxed a little. He knew that the prince had a good temper, so he dared to say: "Your Highness, your Majesty, he... his poisonous heat attacks internally, and the liver and gallbladder are damp and hot, accumulating and turning into fire, causing fire The poison is strong and the erysipelas attacks the heart."
The imperial physician's voice became softer and softer, and at the same time, his head dropped lower and lower.
erysipelas? Gu Nanjin knew that the emperor had been taking Danyang, and with twinkling eyes, he called in Little Eunuch Wen.
Little Eunuch Wen was trembling with fear, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was even uglier than Eunuch Ni's.
When the prince asked about the elixir, little Eunuch Wen could only answer obediently: "His Royal Highness, the emperor took the elixir before leaving the palace."
Gu Nanjin frowned tightly.
Last year, the emperor's eldest grandson suffered from infantile convulsions. The emperor rewarded him with an elixir. However, after the emperor's eldest grandson took the elixir, his illness became more serious and his life was in danger. However, the miraculous doctor from Jishi Hall cured the emperor's eldest grandson.
The miracle doctor once said: "Elixirs contain erysipelas. How can such a young child use elixirs casually?"
"Especially since he is still sick and has strong evil heat. Taking the elixir will only double his heat and poison, causing the erysipelas to attack his heart."
Gu Nanjin kept the words of the miracle doctor in mind. After that, he quietly put away the pills given by the emperor later, and his family never took them again.
In fact, Gu Nanjin had persuaded the emperor more than once not to take pills. At first, the emperor just scolded him a few times. Later, when the emperor got tired of him, Gu Nanjin did not dare to persuade him anymore.
Something happened to the emperor after all!
Why!
Gu Nanjin sighed deeply in his heart, and couldn't help but feel that it was indeed the case: the miracle doctor at Jishi Hall was really the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, but his father couldn't listen.
Gu Nanjin clenched his fist and turned to look at the weak-looking Imperial Physician Ling: "Imperial Physician Ling, is there any way to cure my father now?"
Little Eunuch Wen didn't hear what the imperial physician Ling just said, and he didn't come back to it until now.
Could it be that the emperor's vomiting of blood this time was related to the elixir? !
Little Eunuch Wen's pupils shrank sharply, and soon a cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
The imperial doctor bent his back and raised his head. The wrinkles on his old face seemed to be a little deeper, and said: "Your Highness, the emperor has been stimulated, so that the erysipelas is too rapid, so he must try to suppress his heart pulse first." Erysipelas in it.”
The imperial doctor felt heavy in his heart. He had discussed it with other imperial doctors for a long time, but he was only 60% sure.
There has been a saying among the people since ancient times: it is difficult to be an imperial doctor.
Regarding this sentence, every imperial physician has a profound experience. The various struggles in the palace are extremely cruel. If you are not careful, the imperial physician will be involved in various forces. Nobles such as the emperor and the empress want the life of an imperial physician. That's just one sentence.
Like this time, if the emperor is really bad, the first person who will be blamed is the imperial doctor. The punishment may be to reduce his official position, or his life may not be saved.
The imperial doctor made the sweat on his forehead become more intense, and his heart became even more panicked.
Gu Nanjin could naturally see what the imperial doctor was thinking. He rubbed his brows and said magnanimously, "You can go ahead and treat me. I forgive you."
The imperial physician was relieved and quickly bowed: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."
If the emperor saved his life, the imperial doctors would certainly not be guilty.
If the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, they can survive with the prince's words.
The Imperial Physician Ling felt quite settled, and hesitantly said: "Your Highness, maybe you can go to Jishi Hall to invite that miracle doctor." The Imperial Physician Ling believed that with the help of the miracle doctor, their certainty could be increased to at least 80%.
Gu Nanjin gave a bitter laugh, waved his hand feebly and said, "Father doesn't believe in Ji Shi Tang. The imperial doctor ordered you to treat him first."
Everyone around the emperor knew that the emperor did not believe in Ji Shi Tang, and the plaque on the "Chinese Medical Center" showed him unwillingly. Even if the miracle doctor of Ji Shi Tang really saved the emperor, the first thing the emperor would do after waking up would be to find a name. I want to punish the miracle doctor.
But if it can't be cured, I'm afraid some people will say that King Chen used Jishitang to murder the emperor, and he has a terrible intention.
No matter what you do, it is wrong. The miracle doctor of Jishi Hall will not do such a thankless task.
Gu Nanjin sighed quietly in his heart, feeling helpless.
"I obey." Imperial Physician Ling Weiwei promised, with obvious anxiety in his tone. It is not known whether the next test will be the emperor's luck or the luck of their imperial hospital.
The person who is more nervous than the imperial doctor is Little Eunuch Wen.
If the imperial doctors really couldn't cure the disease, then those who served the emperor were also guilty, because they did not persuade the emperor to take the elixir. This was a crime.
By then, will the Queen turn her anger on them? !
Seeing Gu Nanjin and the imperial physician Ling leaving the room one after another, Little Eunuch Wen hurriedly chased after him. His feet felt weak and he secretly prayed for the emperor in his heart.
After that, Gu Nanjin gently persuaded the queen and took her to Dongnuan Pavilion. All other people were cleared away, leaving only the imperial doctors and a few palace officials.
The queen was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, a little absent-minded, and sent a nun to guard the door of the emperor's palace.
Everyone is waiting quietly.
The originally noisy Yangxin Hall fell silent, almost suffocatingly quiet, with only the sound of the howling cold wind.
The palace was lifeless and lifeless. It was destined to be a long night.
It was also quiet in Prince Chen's Mansion.
Only occasionally a cat meows "meow meow", echoing the sound of swaying branches and leaves.
No, the black cat, who was extra excited every morning, came to Chu Qianchen again, meowing, as if to say, play with me, play with me!
Chu Qianchen was used to cats always meowing in the early hours of the morning, so he didn't wake up at all.
However, another person in the room seemed to hear the cat's meow. His curled eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
A lamp was lit in the room, the light was dim and soft, and the atmosphere was quiet.
Gu Jue saw Chu Qianchen lying next to his bed at a glance.
Chu Qianchen rested his head on his arms, with the tip of his nose tilted toward him, revealing one side of his face, and his eyes were closed.
Her sleeping face looked particularly peaceful and gentle, like a lotus blooming under the moon.
Gu Jue stared at her quietly and moved his fingers slightly.
Even though Gu Jue said nothing, Chu Qianchen still felt something and suddenly opened his eyes.
Her eyes were still a little confused. When she met Gu Jue's dark and narrow eyes, she smiled slightly, her smile was sweet and sweet, and her eyebrows were curved.
Gu Jue moved his hands, slowly raised his hand, gently touched the top of her soft hair, and raised his lips with a smile:
"You did it."
His smile was as gentle as a ray of spring breeze in the morning, blowing softly through his heart.
The eyes are as bright as the bright moon, and the eyes are warm and lingering, especially beautiful.
Chu Qianchen looked at Gu Jue's face, which was only a few feet away from hers, blinked, and his eyes became moist.
Blinking again, crystal tears fell down.
These are tears of joy.
Chu Qianchen's eyes became a little blurry because of the tears, and many scenes from the past life flashed back one by one. The scenes that once felt sad became sweet at this moment.
In the last life, when she learned to ride a horse, when she learned to archery, when she learned acupuncture...
Every time, he told her this.
You can do it.
You did it.
Often, even she herself felt that she couldn't do it, but he always believed in her and told her time and time again that she could do it.
Then, she really did it.
"I did it," she whispered.
After these four words were spoken, she realized that her voice was unusually hoarse.
After she finished speaking, tears welled up from her eyes even more fiercely, as if she wanted to vent her emotions that had been buried for two lifetimes at this moment.
Gu Jue had never seen Chu Qianchen like this.
In Gu Jue's eyes, she was a very confident little girl from the first time they met. She seemed docile and well-behaved, but in fact she had a deviant temperament, especially in protecting her shortcomings. She was quite arrogant and incompetent, especially in medicine. superior.
It seems that as long as the patient is still breathing, she dares to say that she can cure him and take him back from the hands of the Lord of Hell.
Only I am the exception.
Gu Jue had long seen that Chu Qianchen was too cautious when it came to dealing with her old wounds, too cautious to be like her usual self.
Because you care, you are afraid of failure.
Because you care, you must be cautious.
He knew she was more frightened and uneasy than he was. She also knew that these emotions had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, and she didn't dare to vent them until now.
Gu Jue did not persuade her, but continued to touch her hair gently and let her cry.
She was crying, but she didn't make a sound. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and her tears were falling like pearls, soaking the sleeves that were used to rest her head.
But she didn't realize it and cried happily all the time.
Until she was crying and suffering, and suddenly hiccupped.
The burp was extremely loud, and Mao Mao happened to accompany her with a melody: "Meow?"
So, she made herself laugh and burst into laughter.
The tears on her face were still wet, and after being washed by the tears, her phoenix eyes looked black and white, clear and bright.
There were a few crystal clear tears hanging on the long eyelashes, as if the delicate petals were slightly trembling with a few drops of morning dew.
Chu Qianchen stretched out his hand to pinch the hem of his coat and didn't let go. He stared into his eyes seriously and said, "Your Majesty, we will always be together in the future."
Gu Jue looked at her childish movements, and the smile on his lips became stronger. He put down the right hand that was touching her head and hooked his little finger slightly.
Chu Qianchen immediately hooked the little finger of his right hand onto his, shook it, and then shook it.
The hook is used to hang someone, and it will not change for a hundred years.
They made a deal!
After pulling the hook, Chu Qianchen suddenly realized that she had just cried like a child in front of Gu Jue, and suddenly felt embarrassed again.
"Are you thirsty..." She jumped up like a cat and ran out quickly, but after running out, she ran back in again, with a little embarrassment on her little face that had just wiped away the tears.
She forgot to check the prince's pulse.
Behind Chu Qianchen was Amber holding tea. Amber seemed to have cried, her eye circles were a little red, and her expression was full of joy.
"Let me take your pulse." She said while checking the pulse of Gu Jue's left wrist.
When her fingertips touched the skin of his wrist, her expression became confident and focused, as if she was a different person.
Amber counted silently in his mind. When he counted to "three", he saw Chu Qianchen retracting his hand. This time Amber was completely relieved.
With a smile on his lips, Chu Qianchen carefully tucked Gu Jue's baby, and couldn't help but lower his voice: "Your heart pulse is a little weak, but it's not serious."
"But you can't move yet, just lie down."
At the end, she added uneasily: "Be obedient."
Gu Jue smiled warmly and said "hmm" softly.
Of course he will be obedient and he wants to get well soon.
Chu Qianchen was extremely satisfied. He took a small porcelain bottle from the table next to him and poured out a pill the size of a little finger: "I added some pain-relieving herbs to the soup you drank before. Now the medicine is almost as effective as it should be." It’s starting to subside. This pill not only replenishes blood and qi, but also relieves pain.”
Because Gu Jue couldn't move these days and it was inconvenient to drink the soup, Chu Qianchen was worried that it would affect the wound on his left chest, so he took the medicine in advance.
Chu Qianchen stuffed the pill into Gu Jue's mouth. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it immediately melted in his saliva and tasted sweet.
Gu Jue's eyebrows moved slightly, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart: she was always afraid that he would suffer.
Chu Qianchen was busy, moistening his lips repeatedly with cotton wool dipped in warm water, telling him not to endure it if he felt any discomfort, and starting acupuncture again.
"I'll give you an acupuncture to stabilize your heart."
When the fifth golden needle was pricked, Gu Jue closed his eyes and fell asleep again, breathing lightly and evenly.
This was done deliberately by Chu Qianchen.
Gu Jue's most important task now is to rest. Only when he is asleep can he have a good rest and take good care of his body.
Gu Jue fell asleep, but Chu Qianchen still didn't leave. He was still sitting on the stool beside the couch, looking at his sleeping face without blinking.
She raised her right hand and gently traced his facial features with her fingers.
When he was asleep, his handsome features were softer than usual, as if the edges had been worn away by the dim light.
His forehead was smooth and full. When his narrow eyes were closed, his eyelashes appeared to be long and warped. His nose bridge was high and straight. His thin lips were slightly pale due to blood loss. When he closed his mouth, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, almost like a smile.
When his lips kissed the top of her hair and forehead, they were always so warm, revealing unspeakable love.
Chu Qianchen's fingertips paused slightly on his lips, the corners of his lips curved up, and he sighed sincerely in his heart: It's so good to be reborn!
The room became quiet again, and Amber had retreated out of nowhere.
For her and Jiang Yuan, this was destined to be a sleepless night, but everyone had a smile on their face.
Time flows quietly, the dark night is broken by the first light of dawn, and the sky gradually gets brighter.
The next time Gu Jue woke up, the sky was completely bright, and the sun was three in the sky.
His face and lips were still pale, but his energy was much better.
Queen Mother Yin had been waiting in Nuan Pavilion for a long time. She came to see him after hearing the news. This time, she didn't stay long either. As long as she was sure that her son was awake, she would feel relieved.
Chu Qianchen checked Gu Jue's pulse, gave him medicine, and performed acupuncture again. When he fell asleep again, she also rested.
Chu Qianchen had a beauty couch set up in the house, and she rested on the beauty couch, ensuring that she would know immediately if there was any movement from Gu Jue.
The third time Gu Jue woke up was at dusk that day.
Chu Qianchen would take his pulse every time and do everything personally, including helping Gu Jue wipe his body, change his clothes, and take good care of him. Chu Qianchen controlled what to eat at each meal, the amount of medicine to drink, etc.
The effect was also obvious. Gu Jue was awake longer and longer, and his energy was getting better and better.
Not only can the two of them talk, but Chu Qianchen often reads and plays the piano to him.
On the third day, Gu Jue no longer needed to rely on acupuncture to fall asleep, and his lips began to have a thin color of blood, but Chu Qianchen still refused to let him stay on his own.
As Gu Jue's condition improved day by day, the atmosphere in Prince Chen's Mansion became more and more relaxed.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more depressing. Because the emperor was seriously ill and the morning court was suspended, there seemed to be a lingering cloud hanging over the palace, becoming quieter and quieter day by day.
The concubines, including Concubine Chu, all came to the Yangxin Hall, but they did not see the emperor, so they were forcefully driven back to their own palace by the queen. The concubines looked sad every day, praying to gods and Buddhas, hoping that the emperor would wake up soon.
Xu was united and the emperor finally woke up after being in a coma for three days and three nights.
"Wake up! The Emperor is awake!"
"Quick, go and report to the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
One of the chamberlains shouted excitedly, and the imperial doctors who were guarding the palace quickly gathered around.
The emperor's face was flushed, his cloudy eyes were dull, and his breathing was messy, sometimes long and sometimes short.
"I...I..." He wanted to speak, but there was a sore in his mouth. He felt pain when he spoke, and his throat felt as if it was being burned by fire.
In the past three days, Eunuch Ni didn't get much rest. There were green shadows in his eye sockets, and he was exhausted. He said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights. Do you want to invite the prince..."
"Xuan..." The emperor's lips moved slightly and he interrupted Eunuch Ni with difficulty.
Eunuch Ni has always been good at understanding the holy will and said hurriedly: "Are you talking about Taoist Master Xuanjing?"
The emperor nodded slightly and highlighted one word with difficulty: "Xuan."
Eunuch Ni frowned, showing a look of embarrassment. He swallowed and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Taoist Master Xuanjing has been imprisoned by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"..." The emperor's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the veins on his forehead jumped wildly.
Eunuch Ni could tell at a glance that the emperor was not happy about this.
really-
The next moment, the emperor was heard scolding in a trembling voice: "Unfilial son!"
Eunuch Ni and others were all frightened when they heard this, and wished they were deaf.
"Quickly, clean up Xuan..." The emperor became angry and began to cough violently again.
This cough frightened the chamberlains and imperial doctors who were present, fearing that the emperor would be so angry that he would vomit blood again, which would mean that the prince was unfilial, and the emperor became even more angry.
The imperial doctors quickly massaged the emperor's acupoints, and Eunuch Ni also advised the emperor to pay attention to the dragon body, saying: "Your Majesty, I will send someone to go to Taoist Master Xuanxuanjing right now."
In the Yangxin Hall, everything was in a hurry for a while.
By the time Taoist Master Xuanjing was brought to the Yangxin Hall, the emperor's breath had calmed down and he was sitting up leaning on the big pillow. All the imperial doctors had been dismissed by the emperor.
In just three days, Xuanjing lost a lot of weight, and even the Taoist robes on his body seemed a lot looser.
On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the prince put him in jail on the grounds that he poisoned the emperor with elixirs. During the past three days, he ignored him. He went to the jailer to try to find out the news, but no one paid any attention to him.
In a place like a prison cell, people would inevitably have random thoughts. Xuanjing was almost scared to death when he was locked up. He was afraid that the emperor would die and even he would be buried with the emperor.
At this moment, Xuanjing saw that the emperor was alive, and he was so happy that he cried.
"Join the emperor." Xuanjing bowed to the emperor solemnly, "The emperor is the son of destiny, and he will be blessed with great blessings!"
His tears of joy were seen in the emperor's eyes. It was because Xuanjing was devoted to him as the emperor and he truly cared about himself.
After the emperor said he was "just", Xuanjing was completely relieved. He seized the opportunity to express his grievances and express his loyalty: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has a deep misunderstanding of Pindao. It is not that Pindao used pills to murder the emperor. ”
"Pindao also truthfully told His Highness the Crown Prince what happened in Prince Chen's Mansion, but His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Xuanjing ended with a long sigh.
He didn't directly say anything wrong with the prince, but the implication was obvious, that is, the prince was covering up Prince Chen's palace.
Xuanjing's words are actually just one person's words and cannot stand. It depends on whether the emperor believes it or not.
The emperor believed it. He had long felt that the queen and the prince were trying to collude with King Chen, and Xuanjing's words just added fuel to the fire.
"The prince is so brave." The emperor said slowly, his eyes full of disgust and fear.
The prince has long been disloyal. He is seriously ill, so it is natural for the prince to supervise the court. Once he dies, the prince will ascend the throne.
The person who wishes to die most now is probably not Gu Jue, but the prince.
To the prince, isn't he just a stone in the road? !
Even the dimming of the Emperor Star was caused by the collusion between the Crown Prince and Gu Jue, and it was the Crown Prince's help that helped the General Star rise? !
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt it was so, and his heart beat faster.
Xuanjing could vaguely guess the emperor's thoughts and lowered his eyelids slightly.
If a person does not protect himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He is just protecting himself.
