Chapter 147
When Gu Qingcheng arrived, Concubine Lian had already arrived.

Compared with Gu Qingcheng, Concubine Lian dressed more solemnly, her small face was not made up, making her look even more delicate and lovely.

"Sister Guifei, you are here..." Upon seeing Gu Qingcheng, Concubine Lian wiped her tears, "The Empress Dowager is ill, and I really don't know what to do."

Glancing at her pretentious posture, Gu Qingcheng just didn't bother to pay attention.

In the end, she still cooperated with Concubine Lian to act, "Oh, sister, don't worry, what's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

Gu Qingcheng walked forward quickly, looking worriedly at the sick face of the Queen Mother.

"The Empress Dowager suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night. After drinking this soup, the fever still did not go away." Zhang Zicheng, the original judge of the Supreme Hospital, bowed his head, "The old minister is incompetent, the old minister is incompetent!"

Seeing his appearance, Gu Qingcheng didn't mean to embarrass him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to look at the Queen Mother's appearance, her face was slightly red, but her lips were pale, and she had already fallen into a coma.

what happened?

"Don't be in a hurry." Gu Qingcheng asked Zhang Zicheng to get up, and said again, "Let me check the empress dowager's pulse and see what's going on."

With such a life-saving straw, Zhang Zicheng knew that he had saved his head, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The imperial concubine is ice-snow smart, if we can diagnose and treat the queen mother's illness, it will be a great fortune for our imperial hospital."

His head was buried very low, fortunately it was the imperial concubine who came, otherwise if the emperor came first, he would have lost his head.

"Well, don't worry." Gu Qingcheng sat on the low stool beside the bed, caught the pulse of the queen mother with one hand, and felt it quietly.

After a while, she withdrew her hand, "It was windy and cold at night, I guess I caught a cold, and there was inflammation in the body, so the high fever persisted."

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng came to a conclusion, Zhang Zicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The imperial concubine has superb medical skills, and I will bow down to you."

After saying this, Zhang Zicheng moved forward a few more steps, "I don't know what orders the imperial concubine has, but I will do it immediately."

Gu Qingcheng nodded. After all, he was still a wink, and knew that he should come to help at this moment.

"Go to the Imperial Hospital to grab some medicines and boil them according to my prescription." Gu Qingcheng said a few herbs, and Zhang Zicheng hurried down and went to the Imperial Hospital.

Looking at the painful expression of the empress dowager who was still in a coma, Gu Qingcheng sighed. The level of medical treatment in this ancient time was not developed, and even a small fever could kill a person.

The doctor is benevolent, even though the queen mother doesn't treat her very well, she doesn't want to see the queen mother in such pain.

"Hua Yao, go and get a cool towel. The Empress Dowager's body temperature is too high now, so she needs to wipe her body with a towel to cool down."

As Gu Qingcheng said, he checked briefly again.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager's illness was a fever caused by inflammation. Because it was not an ordinary cold, the common prescriptions in the Tai Hospital did not work.

The court ruled that Zhang Zicheng is good at gynecology, and it is normal to feel troubled by such inflammation.

Hua Yao hastily brought a towel, Gu Qingcheng felt it, and when the temperature was right, he spread it on the Queen Mother's forehead.

"Sister Guifei is really versatile. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also proficient in medical skills." Concubine Lian finally had a chance to interject, smiling and flattering Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but sneer, didn't she despise herself the most at first?Why has he changed his temper now?

After all, she lost her mother's family and no support behind her, so she couldn't be as high-profile as before.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at her lightly, if she was a sensible person, she should restrain her edge.

At least in the Gongdou drama, only such a person can survive to the end.

Gu Qingcheng didn't answer what she just said, and after seeing the towel covered by the Queen Mother, she also relaxed a little.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the soup is ready."

Not long after, the judge Zhang Zicheng personally brought in the soup and handed it to Gu Qingcheng respectfully, "Look, is it boiled according to your request?"

After receiving the decoction, Gu Qingcheng looked at it, and it was indeed as he requested.

"Okay, I'll take care of the Empress Dowager when she's sick, and you can go back and prepare some medicines to replenish Qi and blood. The Empress Dowager's Qi and blood are insufficient, so she needs to take good care of her when she recovers."

Assigning this task to Zhang Zicheng, Gu Qingcheng held the bowl of soup and medicine in one hand, and slowly fed it into the Queen Mother's mouth with the other.

Gu Qingcheng's movements were gentle, and she fed the medicine spoon by spoon. She looked at the Queen Mother's frowning and shook her head helplessly.

The fever caused by this inflammation is not so easy to cure, but this bowl of decoction should reduce the fever.

First, the fever subsided, and everything else was easy to talk about.

The bodies of the ancients were not as good as those of modern people, not to mention their low resistance, a fever could kill someone, which made Gu Qingcheng even more worried.

"The Emperor is here—"

Just after feeding a bowl of soup and medicine, the shrill voice of the little eunuch came from outside.

Gu Qingcheng handed the soup and medicine bowl to Hua Yao, got up and saluted quickly, and Concubine Lian also saluted together.

"My Majesty, my Majesty is blessed with peace of mind." After the two of them greeted Nangong Mo raising his hand, they sat back in their respective seats.

"How is the Queen Mother?"

There was no superfluous expression on Nangong Mo's face. Even though he was born to the Empress Dowager, he was not the Empress Dowager's favorite son. The relationship between mother and child had always been weak, not as close as an ordinary mother and child.

"If you go back to the emperor, my sister gave the empress dowager a decoction just now, and the high fever of the empress dowager will subside soon."

Before waiting for the people around her to answer, Concubine Lian first opened her mouth to reply, her face was humble and docile, and she was very well-behaved, "The concubine has already chanted scriptures and prayed for the Empress Dowager, praying that my country will be peaceful and the people will be safe in Daqing, and that the Empress Dowager will be in good health."

Nangong Mo looked away from her, and seeing that she was no longer causing trouble, he didn't mention what she had done before, and nodded slightly.

"It's hard for the two of you to come here in the middle of the night. I don't have many concubines in the harem. You two have the highest status, and you should serve the queen mother."

Nangong Mo slowly opened his mouth, went over to check on the situation of the Queen Mother, and called Gu Qingcheng, "What medicine did you give the Queen Mother?"

Gu Qingcheng gave a salute, "The Empress Dowager has a high fever caused by inflammation. The concubine has prepared the medicine and has given it to the Empress Dowager."

Before the words were finished, Zhang Zicheng, the court judge, threw himself on the ground in fright, "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent and has not diagnosed the empress dowager's illness. It was the empress dowager who came to solve the urgent need."

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly, this time it was Gu Qingcheng's credit again.

"Understood, the imperial concubine's medical skills are excellent, and I know it too." Nangong Mo waved his hand, "Okay, you go down first."

After getting the order, Zhang Zicheng kowtowed three times in a row before resigning.
