Chapter 368
The Empress Dowager's complexion changed several times, and she suddenly ordered to the maids behind her: "You all go back first!"

"only."

The maids in the palace heard the words as if they had received amnesty, and retreated out of the palace in a panic. They are all veterans in the palace, and they know that sometimes the more they know, the faster they die. Next, it's what you want.

After all the servants retreated, the Empress Dowager sighed softly, and said to Xiao Peng, "Oh... why did Xiao Xia say such a thing? The Ai family has never had any unreasonable thoughts, it's just that the officials are young Young, still unable to discern the truth, the Ai family just..."

"That's enough, that's enough, I don't need to say more about those high-sounding words. Huh, don't mention anything else. When Xu'er was young, he was weak and sick, but you strictly ordered the imperial doctor not to treat him. Is this also for Xu'er's good?"

Hearing Xiao Peng's words, the Empress Dowager's face turned pale, and she glanced at Zhao Xu, seeing that he was only looking up at the roof, not at her, so she turned back to look at Xiao Peng, with a hint of begging in her eyes, hoping that he would not Go on.

Seeing this, Xiao Peng sighed slightly, power!What a fascinating thing, the royal family has no family, as expected, "Forget it, let's not mention the past, no matter what your purpose and idea are behind the curtain, you have managed the government well these years, although Not aggressive enough, but more than old-fashioned, so you can guard the country for Xu Er for a few more years!"

When Xiao Peng said this, he stared closely at the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and said: "Xu'er promised me to create a prosperous Song Dynasty like the rule of Zhenguan. Maybe this seems like a dream to you, but What I want to tell you is that it is not difficult for Xu Er to do this with my support."

After saying this, Xiao Peng walked towards A Zhu with his hands behind his back, and said, "As for Xu'er leaving the palace to practice, it's easy to handle. My wife is proficient in the art of disguise, and I can pass it on to Elder Cao. All you need to do is find someone who is about the same size as Xu'er among the servants, and change him into Xu'er's appearance, anyway, Xu'er doesn't need to talk in the Zichen Palace, just sit there and put on a show."

"This matter is settled like this, come here now! I will continue your life." Xiao Peng walked to the brocade couch and said to the Empress Dowager.

Listening to Xiao Peng's words, the Empress Dowager felt mixed emotions in her heart. Why?Why is this person not on my side?Gao Zetian!Why don't I want to?More than old-fashioned, less aggressive, is this your evaluation of me?If someone like you helps me, why don't I want to make progress?Why are you willing to stay old?
Do I really not know that Wang Anshi's new law is a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army?However, the implementation of the new law is too involved, involves too much, and harms the interests of too many people. Without a decisive force in hand, who can guarantee the success of the reform without shaking the foundation of the country?
You did your best for him and thought of everything for him. In your eyes, I am just a housekeeper who can guard the country for him for a few years. How unfair is this?
The empress dowager was angry, but when she heard Xiao Peng's last sentence, she couldn't think about anything for a moment, alas, what's the use of thinking so much?The most important thing for a person is to live. Only when he is alive can he think about other things. When he dies, he will have nothing.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in her head, the Empress Dowager walked slowly to the brocade couch and sat down. Xiao Peng spread out his right palm, mana quickly gathered in the palm, and condensed into a ball in the palm. Xiao Peng continued to output mana, and the ball It gradually grew larger, and then was compressed inward and solidified again.

After a while, the sphere condensed by mana in his palm was already solid, emitting a soft but not glaring yellow light.

The Empress Dowager stared at the ball of yellow light in Xiao Peng's hands. She felt a strange aura coming from the ball of light. Although she didn't know it, that strange aura was the so-called "vitality" , but she knew that the ball of light must be of great benefit to herself.

"Relax your body, don't be nervous, you're offended." Xiao Peng said lightly, then turned his palms, and slowly pressed the light ball on the empress dowager's left chest heart, and the light ball slowly passed through the empress dowager The skin and flesh seeped into the body.

The Empress Dowager is suffering from heart failure. The so-called heart failure refers to the weakening of the heart muscle contraction ability caused by various reasons, so that the blood output of the heart is reduced, which is not enough to meet the needs of the body, and a series of symptoms and signs are produced. And when the contractility of the heart muscle is completely lost and the output of blood stops, people will naturally die.

The way Xiao Peng gave the Empress Dowager a follow-up life was to use her own mana as the driving force of her heart to assist the already failed heart to continue working, restore and strengthen the ability of myocardial contraction, and pump out the venous return and the metabolism of body tissues. A commensurate blood supply is required.

Of course, this ball of mana was just Xiao Peng's injection into her body after all. It came from an external force and was a consumable. Her lifespan has also been exhausted, so as soon as this ball of mana is consumed, her life will basically come to an end.

"Okay, your own heart power is almost exhausted, and the mana ball I shot in is equivalent to replenishing your exhausted heart power. Now you are no different from a healthy sixty-year-old old man. Believe in yourself I can feel it." After the mana ball completely sank into the Empress Dowager's chest and into her heart, Xiao Peng withdrew his right hand, stepped back a few steps, and said calmly.

"I've already finished the matter. Xu'er has driven a long way recently. She will rest in the palace tonight. Follow me out of the palace tomorrow! Ma'am, you will pass the disguise technique to Elder Cao later. From now on, I will ask Mr. Cao to stay in the palace, just to disguise Xu'er's substitute."

After Xiao Peng said this, he winked at Cao Mowen. Cao Mowen understood in his heart that Xiao Peng let him stay in the palace for the purpose of secretly cultivating the Dragon Guard. He bowed respectfully and said: "Yes, Master (National Teacher)."

The Empress Dowager felt her body carefully, the feeling of dizziness and drowsiness had completely disappeared, her mind became clear, her breathing was no longer so rapid, she opened her sleeve with her left hand, and her pale skin also turned red. She was overjoyed, but naturally she would not be so gullible, thanked Xiao Peng and drove back to the palace.

Chongqing Hall.

"Tell the imperial doctor." The Empress Dowager ordered the servants around her, and she returned to the brocade couch in the back pavilion again, returning to the state of dying before.

After the imperial doctor arrived, the Empress Dowager pretended to be weak and said: "You guys tell Aijia the truth, Aijia has a few months to live?"

The faces of the imperial doctors changed drastically, and they looked at each other, but none of them spoke first.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager flew into a rage, and shouted: "How long are you going to lie to the Ai family? If you don't reveal how ugly you are today, the Ai family will kill you all and be buried with the Ai family."

The imperial doctors were shocked and kowtowed again and again, "The Empress Dowager is merciful, I am honestly saying that, I am not skilled in medicine, I can't cure the Empress Dowager, I deserve death, but my family is innocent, I beg the Emperor Your Majesty is merciful!"

The empress dowager's expression softened when she heard this, hum, these imperial doctors know how to be wise and protect their lives best, they always hide what they say, and leave three points behind when they say it, the supernatural power clearly says that I have heart failure , These guys said that it was excessive mental energy consumption, obviously there is no cure, but they told me that I just need to think less and calm down to recuperate, and they are determined not to tell the truth if they are not pushed to a desperate situation.

"Say, as long as you speak the truth, Aijia forgives you for your innocence."

When the imperial doctors heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed again and again as if they had been pardoned, "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for your kindness."

After thanking you, the leading imperial doctor said with a sad face: "The empress dowager's condition is really caused by the exhaustion of the heart. The heart is the foundation of life. It provides people with blood and energy. If the heart is exhausted, both qi and blood will be weak." , Insufficient energy and blood, a person loses energy, energy and spirit, and energy and spirit are like the three souls of a person... Once a person loses the three souls...naturally...naturally..."

"Naturally, you can't survive, right? You just tell Aijia directly, how long can Aijia support?" The Empress Dowager asked impatiently.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, with the Empress Dowager's current mental strength, and the use of medicinal herbs to hang her life, there is still half a year left for the Empress Dowager to be..." After the imperial doctor finished speaking, Qi Qi bent down and grabbed the ground with his head.

"Half a year, half a year, he really didn't lie to me. He said that I can live for four or five months. He said that I can live for four or five months, which should refer to my own remaining mental strength. If I use the elixir to hang my life, I can live for more than one month. I actually took it seriously. Only half a year left to live."
