my awesome king

Chapter 81

Recently, Shui Qing has been busy making money and reading books, and has ignored him for a long time, and now he can finally hug Shui Qing again...

Unexpectedly, after his clothes were stripped off, Ji Xiaomo, who was waiting for Mu Shuiqing to get naked, suddenly had a numb leg.Although there is no feeling in his right leg now, but... Looking at the dense row of needles on his right leg, Ji Xiaomo's face twitched strangely.He quivered: "The water is clear, huh?"

"My lord, let's do acupuncture and moxibustion for a while to see the effect, maybe we can force out the poison."

From then on, Ji Xiaomo's painful days came.He can no longer sleep beautifully with Mu Shuiqing in his arms. Every day and night, his right leg is pierced with dense needles, and he can only stare at him pitifully with his big watery eyes. Aifei with legs.

Perhaps because he didn't sleep, after thoroughly observing Ji Xiaomo's sleeping state at night, Mu Shuiqing found that at night, Ji Xiaomo sometimes had symptoms such as dyspnea, such as often waking up in a deep sleep, with a feeling of suffocation.He was then forced to sit up and coughed frequently.And his right leg was carefully observed, showing pitting edema, and this edema usually appeared or aggravated in the evening, and could be relieved or disappeared after a night's rest.After several days of acupuncture and moxibustion by Mu Shuiqing, the edema gradually faded away.

However, she asked Imperial Physician Ning to take the pulse and discuss carefully, and found that acupuncture cannot completely detoxify. In the past, Imperial Physician Ning also tried this method. Acupuncture can only control the poison from spreading in the body and relieve the pain of the poisoned.

After reading nearly a thousand medical books, but couldn't find an effective method, Mu Shuiqing was very depressed.While she was struggling with Ji Xiaomo's condition, the palace sent someone - the queen mother was seriously ill, and invited the prince and concubine to the palace.

On the day when they heard the news, the two immediately entered the palace in a sedan chair.

The queen's mother has been in poor health for many years, and Ji Hengyuan never sent anyone to the mansion to notify him, and he has been in poor health these years, so he can't visit.This is the first time someone has been seriously sent to the palace.Ji Xiaomo couldn't help being worried. On the way to go, he held his hands tightly, and the veins on his fair skin were exposed.

When the two arrived at the Empress Dowager's Fenghua Palace, the palace was extremely quiet. A row of trembling imperial physicians knelt down. Ji Hengyuan sat on the head of the bed with an extremely gloomy expression. Human coldness: "A bunch of useless things! This little ailment can't be cured, so what's the use of you!"

"The minister is incompetent..."

"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

When he looked up at Ji Xiaomo who was kneeling in the hall, his gloomy eyes flickered, he moved his seat a little reluctantly, and a false smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: "Imperial brother, you are here. The queen mother is seriously ill , I have to see you no matter what. You come to talk to the queen mother and relax."

Ji Xiaomo walked towards the bed, and Mu Shuiqing followed him. The middle-aged woman inside the curtain was pale, with blood stains faintly at the corner of her mouth. When she heard someone approaching, she opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes.According to Mu Shuiqing's observation, that pair of eyebrows and eyes are almost like Ji Xiaomo.She sat up slowly, with a trace of tranquility in her bones.

The number one talented woman who shocked the capital back then is now the most honorable woman in the whole country who is the empress dowager.

Ji Xiaomo looked at the thin figure of the empress mother, and hurriedly stepped forward to stuff a cushion for her, feeling sour in his heart: "The empress mother is hungry, Xiao Mo serves you meals."

Chen Rong lowered his eyes slightly, covered the corners of his mouth with his hands and coughed in pain, then threw the blood-stained handkerchief aside, with a weary expression: "I have no appetite at all, it's great that Xiao Mo can come to see me..."

"How can the queen mother say that, you will surely live a long life." His voice was trembling.

"How is Xiao Mo?" Chen Rong immediately changed the subject, touched his head as he did when he was a child, and underestimated softly, "Your complexion is much better than before, and I'm married again. I can finally feel at ease." She turned her head to look at Mu Shuiqing, waved to her, and smiled very kindly: "Are you Xiaomo's princess? When His Majesty once bestowed the marriage, Ai's family thought it was too abrupt. Now, look, Ai's family has arrived I'm relieved."

Mu Shuiqing was taken aback by her words of reassurance, and walked forward unconsciously, holding Chen Rong's hand, and under Chen Rong's smile, called her mother softly.

Her hands were hot and sweaty, and there was a smell of blood all over her body.It can be seen that recently, hemoptysis is very serious, and the blood qi does not dissipate for a long time.

"Good boy." Chen Rong started coughing again halfway through speaking, not only coughing up blood, but also coughing up bloody sputum, his expression was weak, and he even clutched his chest, looking extremely painful.

Ji Xiaomo was very anxious, and patted Chen Rong on the back to comfort her: "Mother's queen, mother's queen."

Chen Rong patted his hand reassuringly: "I'm old, and my bones are failing. I think it's time to see your father and emperor in a few days. So I want to see you today anyway. It's the first time for your princess and mother to see you." Well... Now, the queen mother can rest assured."

Mu Shuiqing's heart tightened, and she always felt that something was wrong.

She abruptly grabbed the brocade handkerchief from Chen Rong's hand, frowned and looked at it, then she suddenly grabbed Chen Rong's wrist, and pressed it lightly a few times.

At this time, Li Yanshan entered the room with a big belly, and seeing Mu Shuiqing's figure pounced on him, she immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to criticize Mu Shuiqing.There was joy in her eyes, and she immediately said in a sharp voice: "Sister, the queen mother is seriously ill now, what are you going to do? Can't you kill the queen mother?"

Mu Shuiqing frowned and went back ironically, covering his nose: "Imperial Concubine, Empress Dowager has a severe cough, and you even enter the room with such a strong scent of rouge, you are the one who wants to harm Empress Dowager. What's more, Empress Dowager is pregnant, which is a mess. The aroma is not good for the fetus."

Li Yanshan blushed, only to hear Ji Hengyuan say indifferently: "Wash your face clean before coming back."

Li Yanshan stomped away angrily.

Only then did Mu Shuiqing look at the slightly shocked Chen Rong, only to realize that he was too abrupt just now.She withdrew her hand and blushed and said, "After returning to my mother, I discovered that my mother was not caused by aging, but was suffering from tuberculosis. This disease often catches a cold, causing fever, and loss of appetite, or feeling unable to swallow. Frequent weakness, dyspnea, fatigue, constant coughing, and spitting, especially at night. I saw you clutching your chest just now, so I guessed this, because tuberculosis often causes chest unbearable pain."

"Tuberculosis?" Everyone was at a loss.

"Yes." Mu Shuiqing unfolded the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and continued: "Because tuberculosis is non-specific, I was not sure before, but now I saw the bloody phlegm on the brocade handkerchief and remembered that when I shook hands just now, I noticed that my mother's palms were hot. Night sweats. That's why Shui Qing came forward boldly just now, just to confirm the symptoms. If there is any abruptness, which makes the empress uncomfortable, please punish the empress."

"It's okay, you are also concerned about Aijia, let's continue."

"The concubine saw that the empress mother's pulse was thin and weak, and the tongue coating was white and greasy, which was a symptom of deficiency of the lung and spleen, so I confirmed my guess that what the empress mother had was indeed tuberculosis."

Ji Hengyuan quietly interjected: "Why can't the imperial physician find out, but you know?" Those deep black pupils tightly locked on Mu Shuiqing's every move, and even carefully scrutinized the subtle expressions on her face.

Mu Shuiqing changed a name that he could understand in ancient times, and explained: "Your Majesty knows that I like reading, so I am fortunate to know the symptoms of this disease from the book. This disease is also known as tuberculosis, and it has accumulated for a long time. It is a chronic consumption Illness." Mu Shuiqing knew that Ji Hengyuan was suspicious, but her life was at stake, she forgot to cover it up before, and she was all about treating Ji Xiaomo's mother as soon as possible.This disease must not be dragged by those quack doctors.Fortunately, the original body has the title of a talented woman who has read thousands of books, so she can take advantage of the situation and perfunctory the past.

"I have a way to heal my mother. Although I can't recover immediately, but with active treatment, I will definitely get better one day. Please let me try!"

Tuberculosis patients are often irritable, suspicious, and emotionally unstable.The queen mother in front of her has already thought of giving up on herself, and now the best way is to rekindle her confidence in living, and actively cooperate with the treatment.It's just that pulmonary tuberculosis is extremely easy to treat from the perspective of modern western medicine, but it is extremely difficult to treat it in ancient Chinese medicine.

Chen Rong was stunned, hesitating whether to listen to Mu Shuiqing's words or not.After all, she drank so many medicines for so many years, and now, her condition worsened, and the imperial physicians said that the medicine was ineffective, and it was because she was old and exhausted.Now what Mu Shuiqing said, she is afraid that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and the worse her body will be.

What Mu Shuiqing said was tantamount to challenging the authority of the imperial physicians. Most of the imperial physicians kneeling on the ground were angrily, thinking that Mu Shuiqing, who was not good at medicine, was simply nonsense.One person said: "Consumption is an incurable disease. How can you have a solution? The queen mother is very rich, and she is old now, so don't eat and write about the side room!"

Chen Rong rubbed his temples, and sighed helplessly to Mu Shuiqing, "Son, you have a heart, but as the imperial doctor said, tuberculosis is an incurable disease, Ai's family has given up, let's forget it."

But Ji Xiaomo suddenly said: "Mother, my servant believes in Shuiqing. Shuiqing's medical skills are excellent, you might as well give it a try, maybe there will be a chance." He suddenly lowered his voice, and whispered something in Chen Rong's ear.Those originally gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Mu Shuiqing full of joy, and even nodded, the more he watched, the more satisfied he was.Seeing that Mu Shuiqing was inexplicable, he even felt goose bumps.

Chen Rong smiled and said, "I'll just listen to you. What prescription do you want to use?"

"The specific prescription will be discussed later. The mother's body is thin due to her lack of appetite. In fact, skipping meals will be very harmful to her body. Now, please allow Shui Qing to prepare medicinal food for the mother."
