box of hearts

Chapter 248
"That's right," Zhou Dun's nimble eyes suddenly turned dark, and they turned red one by one, as if he was talking to himself, "In April, Imperial Physician Liu said that the prince had a hidden illness, and the medicine was prepared and delivered to him. He came up, but the prince was down, and he thought the hospital was making a big fuss all day long, so he didn't even ask for a pulse. The slaves also persuaded him several times, but they were all scolded back, but he only saw the prince's daily routine as a bow and horse. Usually, the mental state is considered good, but the servant thought that the prince's body has always been stronger than ordinary people, and he has not even had a cold in the past ten years. The prince tried it himself and was willing to take the medicine. Who would have expected..." He stared at the person in the bed, then tried his best to raise his eyebrows and turned his face away, his whole face was tense, as if he would be ready to take medicine at any time. Broken to the ground, "You two just tell the truth, don't be shy."

Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Fang took off their official hats together and kowtowed again and again.

Qingtian clenched two fists on one side, the armor was embedded into the skin, "Speak."

It was the doctor Liu who trimmed the gray beard and straightened his waist slightly, "The internal organs will not heal after a long time, the cold will stagnate and the Qi will stagnate, the blood stasis and phlegm will block, and the chest yang will be blocked by the paralysis. The most urgent thing is to strengthen the body." Consolidate the foundation, nourish yin and kidney, nourish both qi and blood, and coordinate yang and yin. It’s just that the prince’s yuan yang is insufficient, and the heart and kidney are not in harmony. You may as well send an order to call for a doctor, or ask your ministers to recommend talents, and then we will take a closer look with the imperial hospital, it will be more secure."

Qingtian and Zhou Dun glanced at each other, their hearts were already cold, they gritted their teeth and said, "Since the prince is in an emergency, how can he find the time to call for a doctor? Besides, both of you are seniors in the Imperial Hospital for decades. Xinglin Sacred Hand, you still say you can't, how dare you use the casual doctor outside? You say this, just to leave room for yourself to shirk responsibility. Don't worry, just let go and treat it, don't worry about other things, wait for the prince Peace of mind, I will reward you heavily.”

Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Fang also exchanged glances, bowed their heads and bowed their heads, "Your Majesty's words have come to this point, I dare not shirk my lowly position, I must try my best. The prince's illness is a serious danger. If you can survive seven days, there will be no adverse evidence , nothing serious."

"What if there is evidence to the contrary?"

"This——, I don't dare to say any more about my humble position."

"Forgive your innocence."

As if struggling with all the strength in his body, Imperial Physician Liu uttered a trembling sentence: "It's real, it's real, it's empty, I'm afraid there will be a sudden change."

The imperial physician has always been reserved about the nobleman's condition, but now he said it so bluntly, it can be seen that he is terminally ill.Everyone in the room lost their colors, Qing Tian felt short of breath, fell back to the chair, and was speechless.

But Zhou Dun looked unusually calm. He bent down and faced the two imperial physicians, his face full of hopelessness, "I can't see anything against you in the past seven days. From now on, the two of you will be here day and night." On duty, you can't relax for a moment, listen to the pulse at any time, and think about it before you come up with a prescription. Yingzhi, you take the two adults to the front, ask the kitchen to open a table for dinner, and discuss while eating. The others Let's all go down too, seal off the entire Juhuaju, and don't let out a single word about the prince's illness."

The snow outside the window became violent and turned into hailstones, crackling against the eaves window.Qingtian's eyes were only fixed on Qi She, and he just lay there, motionless, mammoth and fragmented, like the Great Wall that Meng Jiangnu cried down.She stretched out her hand in a daze, as if she wanted to rebuild the broken walls one by one, and restore the grandeur of the past.The hand was still in the air, and someone caught it.Zhou Dun supported her, half-knelt down to the ground, and looked up sternly, "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a master for a day. Once news of the prince's illness spreads, the court will inevitably be in turmoil and the price of silver will fluctuate. Turn around and wait for the prince to wake up. If you worry about state affairs again, but you can't get rid of worry and take care of yourself, it will be very bad for your illness. What do you think?"

Qingtian only cast a glance at Zhou Dun, "Please leave everything to my father-in-law to arrange." His gaze returned to Qi She without any further shift.

When it was midnight, two people were dragged out of the hot quilt respectively - "The Prince Regent has summoned him urgently, and told your lord to go to Beifu to retreat immediately." Menzi passed on the message.So Zhu Yiqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Meng Zhongxian, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, rushed to Shichahai with sleepy eyes and braved the wind and snow, not daring to have the slightest objection.Not to mention that the lord summoned them urgently, even if he summoned them to paint and embroider, no one would have any objection.

The two important ministers arrived at Tuixuan, their drowsiness was gone, but they didn't see the regent. They only saw the eunuch Zhou Dun waiting in the study, rubbing his hands together, "Hello, my lords."

Meng Zhongxian quickly stepped forward and held it down, and patted Zhou Dun's hand, "Don't be too polite, father-in-law. I don't know if the prince suddenly called, what do you want?"

"Alas." Zhou Dun shook his head and sighed, with melancholy on his face, "Master Meng, Master Zhu, things are very bad, Madam Duan is critically ill."

"What?" Zhu and Meng couldn't think of this, and they were all surprised.Gathered his mind, and then listened to Zhou Dun's next words——

"It's a sudden illness. It happened suddenly in the middle of the night. The prince rushed over immediately after hearing the news. The imperial doctor said that his condition was critical. Whether it can see improvement is a matter of these few days. Both of you know that the prince has been fond of Madam Duan for many years. All over the body, but the head is a little cold first. After all, the old love is still there, so I can't help showing more pity. These days, the prince said that he would stay with the empress every step of the way. There is no psychological meeting for the state affairs, and all government affairs will be handed over to the two. Unless there is an urgent matter, there is no need to ask for instructions in person, and the two of you can negotiate and deal with it with full authority. Then, these two adults will have to work hard these days."

It is human nature to give up one's self in life and death, Zhu Yiqing and Meng Zhongxian did not have any doubts, and they both solemnly agreed: "Follow the prince's order, and you must always be careful when you are humble." "Please don't worry too much. It will be safe and sound."

Zhou Dun dispelled the hidden worries of the previous court, and repeated orders to everyone inside and outside Jiuhuaju, and he was only allowed to say that the imperial physician stayed behind to treat Madam Duan.After some arrangements, he entered the bedroom again.

On the kang in the suite outside, Yingzhi and Qinmeng slept curled up together, while Niang Niang was guarding the sick bed inside.Hearing him enter the room, he looked over here, "Eunuch is back."

Zhou Dun also went to the bedside to look around, turned his eyes back to Qing Tian's face, and sighed, "Your Majesty, let's rest, this servant is looking at the prince."

Qingtian's temple hair was disheveled, hanging loosely on his cheeks, and his face in the shadows looked even thinner, "Elder-in-law has been busy all night, go to sleep, I'm here."

"How can you work on the sit watch? My lady, hurry up and rest. If there is something to do, the slave will call you." Zhou Dun said and came to help.Unexpectedly, Qingtian fended off his hand, his complexion changed in an instant, and tears rolled down one after another.

"Elder-in-law, it's all my fault that the prince looks like this! On his birthday, I cursed him to death. I was the one who said a lot of cruel words to him on purpose. He was blown away by me. I I don't know if he's in poor health, I really don't know..." Qing Tian covered his face with his hands, and let out heart-piercing sobs from between his fingers.

But after only a short moment, she stopped crying, wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks, and took a deep breath, "I have come to serve the prince these few days, if the prince is well, it is everyone's luck, if not Well, I can't live anymore." The calmness in his tone seemed to be telling a trivial matter that couldn't be more common.Then she turned around and continued to stay by the silent bed.

Zhou Dun looked around speechlessly, then retreated to the foot of the bed, sat down cross-legged, and leaned his head against the side of the bed.I heard the wind blowing in my ears, blowing into people's hearts from outside the window.

11.
In the next few days, the two imperial physicians applied what they had learned all their lives and prescribed prescriptions for treatment.Qi She was just drowsy, opening her eyes by chance, gliding past the people and things in front of her eyes, and closing them again; that way she looked like a person who was extremely sleepy, except for sleep, there was no bottomless depth. Nothing but sleep is needed.

But Qingtian is just the opposite, as if the last thing she needs in this world is sleep.She kept her eyes open day and night, giving Qi She medicine, feeding, wiping his face, massaging, turning over, shaving... or just guarding him without blinking.During meal time, she would hastily poke rice with two chopsticks by the bed and take a sip of ginseng soup, almost without a grain of rice or a drop of water.No matter who persuaded her to take a good rest, she would not respond, at most she turned her two big dark eyes and looked directly at the back of the person, "Where is it different? I am here." Arms folded on the hospital bed Lie on the side for a while, and wake up immediately with the slightest movement or heavier breathing of the patient.

In the early morning of the third day, Qing Tian suddenly sat up straight from the mist, and leaned his upper body into the bed, "Master, what's wrong with you, Master? Master!"

Zhou Dun also immediately jumped up from the end of the bed, looked around, and saw that Qi She was still ignorant of his personnel, but his head was thrown back vigorously on the pillow, his mouth was wide open, and there was a very stagnant panting sound in his throat, and his whole body was twitching. .When Zhou Dun saw it, he couldn't help being frightened, "Master, what's wrong with you? Imperial physician! Imperial physician!"

Doctor Fang was on duty at night, and he was on standby outside, and when he heard the call, he opened the door and rushed in.Seeing this scene was also horrified, and hurriedly knelt down to the ground, grabbed Qi She's hand and cut his pulse.

"My lord's pulse condition, Guanmai still has stamina, but the inch pulse is not real—"

"What kind of medical book are you hanging at this pass!" Zhou Dun was furious, and fell down again and again, "Just tell me what's going on!"
