Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 249 Stand firm
In the end, the emperor fell ill a day after the first snow fell in Dayong.

The illness came very quickly, Huo Mingzhu knew very well that the emperor's illness was so fierce, even though his health was not very good, it was because of taking her elixir for a long time, even if she didn't use too many strong medicines, many The medicinal materials are mainly used to strengthen the body, but the medicine is three-point poisonous, and the emperor is eager to seek goodness, so he increases the dosage, so the disease is quite severe.

"Ahem, empress, I feel very uncomfortable for making alchemy for me, ahem." The emperor lay on the dragon bed and coughed uncontrollably. The cough seemed to cough up his whole heart, liver and lungs.

Huo Mingzhu's face was full of anxiety, and he held the emperor's hand and comforted him softly: "Your majesty, how are you? Your majesty, you just used that elixir just now. How do you let the concubine refine it again? How about this?" That's right, imperial doctor, come here, send the imperial doctor to come in."

In fact, the imperial doctor is still waiting outside at this moment, and the six imperial doctors are guarding outside the emperor's bedroom, waiting for a whole day, constantly discussing the emperor's condition.

In the end, they all just shook their heads, but they didn't dare to say anything that could not be cured. At this moment, when they heard the Queen's cry, several people's hearts trembled at the same time.

If the emperor couldn't save him, they might lose their lives too. Thinking of this, they trembled even more, as if the snow floating outside got into their bodies.

"I'm very cold, cough cough, very cold..." The emperor started to sway, Huo Mingzhu saw it, and the anxiety on his face deepened a little.

"Empress, Xiao Dezi who is beside the Empress Dowager has come, and asked how the Emperor is doing?" Su Lan walked up to Huo Mingzhu and asked.

This time the snow fell, the Empress Dowager also felt uncomfortable. Knowing that the Emperor was ill, she couldn't come to see it in person, so she kept sending people to ask. In her heart, she was afraid that Huo Mingzhu was regarded as a demon. , It's not long since I became a queen, this is to kill her and the emperor.

"Let Xiao Dezi return to the queen mother, the emperor will definitely be fine." Huo Mingzhu said resolutely.

After hearing this, the emperor lying on the dragon bed felt that his body was not too uncomfortable. He believed that his queen would not let him lose his life. So far, the emperor has regarded Huo Mingzhu as a unique and powerful existence. Snatch him from the hand of death.

"Yes, Empress." Su Yu led the order to go out, and several imperial physicians came in.

They also heard Huo Mingzhu's words, and they were a little clever, so they thought of some ways to save their lives.

"Doctor, come here and have a look. The emperor's situation, he has been shouting cold." The majesty of Huo Mingzhu cannot be ignored. Overwhelm people with power.

The imperial physicians looked at each other for a while, and then the leading imperial physician Fang took a step forward, bowed to Huo Mingzhu and said, "My Majesty, the emperor is afraid of the cold and chills, which is caused by the wind and cold."

"I know that I want you to heal the emperor and relieve his pain, but I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Or, your medical skills are just like this. If so, what use does the emperor want you to have?" Huo Mingzhu said sharply, She just wanted these imperial doctors to tell her that there was nothing wrong with her.

Huo Mingzhu's words were too harsh, and their lives were involved. Several imperial doctors were so frightened that they knelt down. It was the imperial doctor Fang who came out to speak. After the queen's conditioning, she became much stronger than before, so the wind and cold looked dangerous, but when I asked the emperor for pulse, I found that the emperor's body is fine, as long as the emperor keeps the dragon's body warm."

After hearing what Imperial Physician Fang said, some imperial physicians looked at him incredulously, but thinking that Imperial Physician Fang said this to save his life, he stopped saying anything.

In fact, the emperor's dragon body is already exhausted, and it will be a matter of time before they die, but if they die because of this small wind and cold, then they will be stigmatized as incompetent, so the emperor must not So dead, therefore, Imperial Physician Fang has secretly prepared some life-hanging things, first for the emperor to use, and then finds a way to ask for leave and return to the countryside. Nothing to do.

But Huo Mingzhu was very satisfied with the words of the imperial physicians, so his face softened, and the other imperial physician said: "Fang imperial physician, I believe in your words, and also believe that the emperor's dragon body will get better with the blessing of the gods, but this wind and cold It is also not to be underestimated, before I entered the palace, I also suffered from wind-cold, so for the disease of wind-cold, I refined some elixir, you take it for examination, and then serve the emperor to use it."

Huo Mingzhu's move is undoubtedly to let people see that her elixir is no problem.

Physician Fang was very determined. In this way, Huo Mingzhu would bear all the risks alone. Therefore, he stepped forward respectfully, took Huo Mingzhu's elixir and said, "The empress's alchemy skills are incomparable. , I believe that the elixir of the empress can make the emperor's dragon body heal." He said, still smelling the elixir seriously.

Physician Fang's medical skills are amazing, he can identify the medicinal materials added in Huo Mingzhu's elixir after hearing this, and Huo Mingzhu patiently waited for Imperial Physician Fang to examine the elixir.

After hearing the elixir, Imperial Physician Fang found that the elixir was indeed a wind-cold medicine. Although he couldn't smell it, but at this time, he would not point it out, so he returned the elixir to Huo Mingzhu said: "This elixir is indeed a medicine for wind and cold."

Huo Mingzhu gave the elixir to the father-in-law beside him. He was a eunuch who tried food, and he had to let the father-in-law eat everything that was going to enter the emperor's mouth to make sure it was not poisonous before giving it to the emperor.

While waiting for the father-in-law to test the medicine, Huo Mingzhu personally wiped the sweat from the emperor's forehead.

After the emperor took the elixir, it was already the third watch.

The emperor has also fallen asleep, but before he fell asleep, he was still holding Huo Mingzhu's hand, his eyes were obviously full of gratitude, Huo Mingzhu just helped him tighten the corner of the quilt, and then leaned to the side for a nap, while The Imperial Physician left Imperial Physician Fang waiting outside, and the others had already returned to the Imperial Hospital.

Su Hui asked Huo Mingzhu to rest several times. She took care of the emperor instead of Huo Mingzhu. Huo Mingzhu refused and drove her to rest. She herself took care of the emperor and wiped the sweat on his forehead. The maid and eunuch check the brazier, add charcoal and so on.

After daybreak, Huo Mingzhu checked the emperor's condition. Obviously, the elixir had taken effect, and the wind-cold disease had been subdued.

Huo Mingzhu had known this situation for a long time, it was not that her elixir was so effective, but that Huo Mingzhu's medicine stimulated the energy of the emperor's body, that is to say, the emperor's life force was exhausted in advance, so such a Come on, not to mention the wind and cold, even some serious diseases can be cured in a short time.

The snowflakes outside the house were still flying. Physician Qian came to change shifts and asked for the Emperor's pulse routinely. As a result, he was amazed at the pulse. Yesterday's pulse was so dangerous, but now it is smooth. This... couldn't help but glance at Huo Pearl.

Huo Mingzhu's beautiful face was somewhat tired, but she couldn't conceal her magnificence. Seeing Imperial Physician Qian's face, she smiled faintly: "But the emperor is okay?"

Imperial Physician Qian hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said: "If you go back to the empress, the emperor's dragon is in good health."

"That's good..." After saying that, Huo Mingzhu fell forward, just at this moment, the emperor opened his eyes, he watched Huo Mingzhu's body go limp, and Su Yu hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, how are you? Don't scare your slaves, Your Majesty."

The emperor was still very weak and couldn't make a sound, he wanted the imperial physician to check on the queen's condition immediately, so he heard Su Rui shout: "Empire physician Qian, hurry up, look at our mother, hurry up."

Physician Qian was startled by Huo Mingzhu's sudden collapse and was stunned, but when Su Hao yelled, she immediately reacted and went forward to check Huo Mingzhu's pulse, and then her pupils.

After the examination, the imperial physician said: "Aunt Su, the empress is exhausted, and she will be fine after resting for a while. After Weichen prescribes a prescription for the medical girl to boil the medicine and food, she will be fine after drinking some."

It was only now that Su Hui remembered that Huo Mingzhu had taken care of the emperor for a day and a night, so she cried: "Madam, why are you so stupid, you just kept guard for a day and a night, even your body made of iron can't stand such a toss, hurry up!" , Come here quickly and send your empress back to Yongning Palace."

"Let her lie here." The emperor's hoarse voice came out.

When Su Hui heard this, she hurriedly knelt down: "Your majesty, absolutely not, even if the emperor thinks that the slave is disrespectful, the slave will tell you. Seeing that the empress has been serving you all night, don't let your servant be tired now." The empress is staying here, if the wind and cold are given to the empress, what should I do."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't be angry with Su Wei. He didn't think about it. He felt that Huo Mingzhu stayed close to him, and he could feel at ease. Now that Su Yu said so, he couldn't let Huo Mingzhu continue to stay. There is no more words here, so people hurriedly sent Huo Mingzhu back to Yongning Palace.

The emperor's wind and cold came and went quickly, all thanks to Huo Mingzhu, when the queen mother knew that Huo Mingzhu was so tired that she was in front of the emperor's dragon bed, she was silent for a long time.

The emperor thought that it was his blessing to get Huo Mingzhu, so after a few days he felt that he was in good shape, in order to thank the queen, and at the same time improve the queen's prestige and get rid of the queen's prejudice against the queen, he specially held a family banquet .

All concubines, princesses, princes and princes must participate.

Huo Mingzhu smiled indifferently, her purpose was to gain a firm foothold in the palace and prevent people from poking her spine. Once this matter was over, she would have left a good impression on the emperor's heart, and Huo Mingzhu really didn't care about the queen mother. If she wanted to deal with the queen mother, there were many ways, but she didn't bother to think about it.

After all, the Queen Mother just felt that she had hurt Baili Jingqi's heart. If the Queen Mother didn't take action against her, she wouldn't do anything to the Queen Mother. As for Luo Guogong and some ministers who crusaded her, as long as she held the Emperor, Those people just can't get enough of them.

This world is still the emperor's world. Those people can't understand this point, but Huo Mingzhu can understand it. If it weren't for the usefulness of imperial power, why would Baili Zonglu go to great lengths to obtain it, even hurting so many innocent people? people.

Huo Mingzhu didn't know that when she was planning these things, Baili Zonglu was also planning a plan!

He didn't intend to take this step, but Huo Mingzhu messed up many of his plans, forcing him to do this. Thinking of Huo Mingzhu, Baili Zonglu's eyes flashed with complicated emotions. He loves and hates her, but he doesn't know how to treat her. However, when the plan is successful, she will be his.

Thinking of this, Baili Zonglu laughed silently.
