Han Shizu

Chapter 1768 Collapse

The autumn wind that still makes people feel refreshing during the day, but at night, it seems a bit penetrating, as if it can penetrate people's hearts.The cold wind passed through the doors and windows, rolled over the curtains, and kept penetrating into the Kunming Hall. The candles flickered, and the light seemed much dimmer.

In the side hall, seven or eight imperial physicians gathered together and were discussing urgently. They did not dare to raise their voices too loudly, but the scene seemed intense, and all of them showed negative emotions such as anxiety, worry, and fear. .

Undoubtedly, these people are masters of Chinese medicine, and each of them has been immersed in medicine for at least 20 years. However, it is these Xinglin Zhiwang who are a little helpless when facing the Queen's illness.

Of course, it's not that there is no way at all, but there are many worries, not only fearing that the cure will not be cured, but even more fear that the cure will be broken.The emperor cared deeply, and was already furious, clamoring for the imperial doctor to be buried with him. If the empress really had something good or bad because of their treatment, then what would happen to them, even thinking about it makes me shudder.

Therefore, so far, the imperial physicians have only treated conservatively after matching the talisman, and dare not take risks.However, the queen's illness can't be afforded. An imperial physician might just grit his teeth and fight it out. One can imagine the effect of so many people getting together and saying different things.

Yan Tuo put his arms around his chest, stared at these imperial doctors coldly, his frown showed his unhappy mood.Scanning around, he noticed that Sun Taiyi, who was sitting quietly in the corner and not participating in the discussion, walked up.

"Why is Imperial Physician Sun sitting here alone, out of his mind?" Yan Tuo asked.

Shocked, he raised his eyes to meet Yan Tuo's scrutinizing gaze. The old doctor Sun cupped his hands and sighed: "It's useless to insist on your own opinion on the condition of the empress. No matter how active the discussion is, it is useless."

Yan Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned down slightly, and put his body close to Old Madam Sun's ear, and asked seriously, "Tell me honestly, how is your condition?"

In the palace, Yan Tuo's deterrent power is full, upon hearing this, old doctor Sun hesitated, and said: "I dare not say it!"

"Huh?" Yan Tuo's eyes immediately became terrifying, and his words were threatening: "The government sent me here to urge you imperial physicians, in case you don't do your best. Now it seems that you are doing nothing and delaying your mother's condition."

"Officer Yan, how dare you wait for the old minister? Really, really..." Old doctor Sun is also very old, and it's fine to be scared by Emperor Liu, but also to be threatened by this eunuch, and his heart is full of grievances and depression.

"I just want to find out so I can report to the officials!" Yan Tuo patted him on the shoulder.

Hearing this, the old doctor Sun sighed, the old man almost shrank in the chair, and said dejectedly: "I am afraid that the official Yan will not dare to report the truth to His Majesty. I have practiced medicine for many years, and I have many knowledge about the pathology of the disease. After research, you can basically make a judgment by checking the pulse and asking the doctor.

Niangniang is weak, although the disease came on suddenly, it is extremely rapid and has become a serious disease, ordinary medicine and stone methods are probably useless. "

Yan tuo frowned, and asked: "Do you have other ways?"

The old doctor Sun still shook her head: "Of course there is, but it is extremely harmful and the effect is unpredictable. No need, the empress may last for a few days. If you use it, I'm afraid it won't last for a while."

Saying that, old doctor Sun let out a long sigh.Speaking of this, Yan Tuo still doesn't understand that the queen's condition is more dangerous than imagined, and these imperial doctors, looking forward and backward, have no good way to save them.

"Why are these imperial physicians so useless? No wonder the officials want them to be buried!" Such a thought flashed through Yan Tuo's mind. However, as Imperial Physician Sun said, he was a little bit dissatisfied that he was really asked to report the matter to Emperor Liu truthfully. dare.

Don't look at him as Yan Tuo, a popular person around the emperor, a caring person, but he is also afraid of being implicated.After pondering for a long time, Yan Tuo's fair old face became extremely depressed, and he almost lamented: "I'm afraid something big will happen! If there is something wrong with the empress, what will the officials do?"

Thinking of this, Yan Tuo was unavoidably terrified.Not to mention, Imperial Physician Sun thought of something, cupped his hands and said to Yan Tuo: "Mr. Yan, I have something to ask!"

"Speaking!"

The old doctor sighed: "I have lived so far, it is enough. My mother is kind and virtuous, and she has always treated her ministers well. If one day, even if she goes with her, she will have no regrets. I only hope that at that time, the official Yan can help persuade one or two , so that the old man’s family will not be burdened!”

Seeing the old doctor say "this" pitifully, even the hard-hearted Yan Tuo couldn't help but sigh.However, it's not his style to accept everything in a big way. After thinking about it, he said: "I used to be a lot of empathetic physicians, so I can only try my best to maneuver around!"

"Thank you!"

The atmosphere in Kunming Hall became even more depressing, and the autumn wind was bleak, completely reflecting everyone's mood.Yan Tuo is also very old and tired, but he still gathers his energy and stays here.

After midnight, several people found him, all of them were eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the eunuchs in the palace.At this time, the Kunming Palace probably has attracted the attention of the entire court, and it is completely a place of right and wrong.

At such a juncture, and at such a late hour, when these people found the Kunming Palace, Yan Tuo's first reaction was to be bored.But after hearing their intentions, Yan Tuo couldn't help but stand on the spot blankly, without saying a word, he ordered people to drive these people away.

When he returned to the Kunming Palace, Yan Tuo was sweating on his forehead, and he murmured in shock, "How can there be such a stupid person in the palace! You want to court death, and you want to drag me? It's just hateful!"

The few people who came to meet just now have already been sentenced to death by Yan Tuo.They are the people in charge of the palace's main preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The purpose of finding Yan Tuo is also to discuss. Is it inappropriate for the queen to be seriously ill and the palace to be decorated with lanterns and festoons?Will the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet be changed accordingly, and should they make preparations earlier?
As for who Yan Tuo was, he immediately understood what these people meant. These people were really too clever, and they were already preparing for the queen's death. Such fools really don't know how to live until now.Was it the emperor who ignored them too much, or the queen who was too lenient?
Fu Hou's condition came and went again and again, and persisted for two days and one night.On the night of August [-]th, the moon was already very bright and round, and the bright moonlight spread between the palaces. Yan Tuo hurriedly walked, almost chasing his own shadow, and ran to the Chongzheng Hall.

Naturally, Emperor Liu hadn't rested yet, and he was holding a memorial in his hand, but he was dumbfounded, with heavy eye circles and a tired expression.Noticing the figure outside the curtain, he turned his head and looked carefully with wide eyes before he recognized Yan Tuo.

"Why are you back? I heard that the empress has recovered a bit. It's just right. I'll visit her later." Emperor Liu said softly.

With a plop, Yan Tuo's knees hit the floor heavily, kowtowed, and said in a sad tone: "Officials, your mother has collapsed!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu stood on the spot blankly, in a trance for a long time, under the dim yellow light, his old eyes sparkled, his hands subconsciously crushed the memorial, his knuckles turned white.

In one day, Emperor Liu came to the Kunming Hall again, but this time, he was a little lost, taking every step, as cautious as walking on the tip of a knife. It seemed that he was not going to the palace of the Empress Fu, but the abyss of despair.

The inside of the palace was full of mourning, inside and outside the palace, except for the guards, everyone was kneeling, and there were constant palace people who heard the news and kowtowed.

There was a lot of crying inside and out, sobbing constantly, the imperial physician and others also knelt down in fear, and when they saw the figure of Emperor Liu, they buried their heads even lower.Emperor Liu didn't care about these people until he came to the phoenix couch, looked at the talisman lying there peacefully, stood there for a moment, opened his mouth several times, but was afraid of disturbing her, so he didn't dare to speak out.

"Big talisman." Finally, Emperor Liu mustered up the courage to call softly, but there was no response.

"What are those people crying for?" The queen ignored herself, and Emperor Liu asked Yan Tuo with red eyes.

"Officials!" Yan Tuo was taken aback. He was always good at flattering him, so he didn't know what to say.

"I ask you why are they crying? How can the empress rest when they are so noisy?" Emperor Liu was already a little hypocritical at this time.

Yan Tuo was standing beside Emperor Liu at this time, a little frightened, and he didn't even dare to say words of comfort.But Emperor Liu trembled, pointed around, and said viciously: "Tell these people to shut up, whoever dares to cry and disturb the queen, I will kill him!"

As soon as this remark came out, inside and outside, the voice quickly stopped and gradually became quiet.However, although the cry ceased, the panic in Emperor Liu's heart was even heavier. He tried hard to talk to Empress Fu, trying to get a response, but he was still unsuccessful.

Finally, all the emotions could not be suppressed anymore, a burst of heart-piercing howls erupted from Emperor Liu's mouth, shaking in the Kunming Hall.
In the 22nd year of Kaibao, on the fourteenth day of the eighth month in autumn, Empress Fu's family collapsed in the Kunming Hall.
