Mistress

Chapter 81

At this time, the sky had turned white, and a group of people were waiting outside Chengyuan Palace, waiting for Xu Cheng to speak.Even Aunt Song came with her two children. Jun'er and Xiao'er knelt on the ground crying and prayed to the sky, the earth, the Bodhisattva, and all the gods they knew.

Xu Cheng couldn't bear it any longer. Wang Yingying said that Li Yan had four days to live, but now it was only three days, and Li Yan's pulse was so weak that she could hardly feel it, and her breathing became lighter and lighter, until it was as light as a breath on her chest. There is no ups and downs of inhalation and exhalation.

Perhaps Wang Yingying herself didn't know that the amount of poison she administered was more than before, and she didn't need to wait until the fourth day to kill people.

Xu Cheng couldn't help but watch Li Yan die, he had to make a decision.

"Bleeding." Xu Cheng said this with difficulty in the room, and the doctor Zhang, the doctor of Li's mansion, and several imperial doctors who came to help from the imperial hospital rushed in.

Xu Cheng knew that Li Yan was close to death, he didn't dare to watch this bloody and sad scene, so he stepped out.He took Jun'er by one hand and Xiao'er by the other to bow down to the Bodhisattva in front of the Shaohua Buddhist Hall.

Aunt Song followed her with her two children, but was stopped by Xu Cheng, who said, "You take the children to the Imperial College, and now it's time for morning study."

Aunt Song stood there stiffly, watching Xu Cheng bring Jun'er and Xiao'er into the Shaohua Buddhist Hall.

Bi'er took Xu Chi and Xu Jiao by the hand, stepped forward and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

When Aunt Song cried for Li Yan just now, she shed fake tears, but now she shed tears of bitter taste, "Bi'er, what kind of empress am I, don't call me that in the future. The emperor has never been canonized before." Li Nianyun is the empress, because the emperor has to carefully consider the status of the empress. As for me, it is just a matter of concubine and concubine concubine concubine, but the emperor has been delaying the canonization of me, and even Yuyu has lived in Xiangfei Palace. I am still unknown. After all, I have given birth to two princes, how can the emperor treat me like this? You see, just now he led Jun'er and Xiao'er into the Buddhist hall, as if he was a loving father and a filial son. What are Chi'er and Jiao'er?"

Bi'er persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, although Li Nianyun was appointed last night, she probably won't be able to enjoy the honor of the queen. Have you been sent out of the palace together? Now the entire harem is just for the empress, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Even if I'm the only one left, the emperor doesn't want to see me." Aunt Song was disappointed, her eyes were empty, "I might as well go to the Buddhist hall and become a nun. I will knock wooden fish and twist Buddhist beads every day. I will no longer have any delusions. Try to be quiet and at ease.”

"How can your empress say such things? After Li Nianyun dies, your empress will be the most qualified in the harem. Even if the emperor recruits women in in the future, how can they compare to your empress? You have two princes, do they have them? Even if they will The birth is also a matter of many years later. The empress must cheer up. As long as Li Nianyun dies, the emperor will definitely not invite outside women into the palace for a long time. After all, he has to worry about Li Nianyun's funeral. Fasting. It will be a matter of time before the empress becomes a queen or becomes a noble concubine."

Aunt Song was heartbroken, she had never been a positive and optimistic person, what Bier said was nothing but imagination.Her face was gloomy, and her pale lips parted slightly, "I've had enough suffering these days, I won't have those delusions anymore, and when Li Nianyun's matter comes to an end, I'll go to the emperor and invite myself to be a nun, and enter the Shaohua Buddhist Hall to guard Withered oil and green lamps, spend a lifetime like this.”

Bi'er thought to herself, when Aunt Song went to the emperor to make such a request, the emperor's heart softened, and maybe he would make Aunt Song the queen or concubine, so she didn't persuade her any more.

Aunt Song left, Xu Cheng, Jun'er, and Xiao'er knelt in front of the Bodhisattva in the Buddhist hall, chanting prayers.

Xu Cheng seemed to be able to feel that Li Yan was suffering the pain of losing her heart and blood little by little, as if she was getting away from this world and him little by little.The scene of black and white impermanence coming to kill him still appeared in his mind, and his right arm kept shaking.

With a "creak", Su Bai suddenly pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall and broke in.He didn't even have time to report to Xu Cheng, he pulled Jun'er and Xiao'er and ran outside.

The two children had already been covered with tears, and they were a little numb with grief. They were dragged by Su Bo to run outside, and they didn't ask what Su Bo was doing, but just followed and ran out in a daze.

Xu Cheng knew that there must be a reason for Su Bai's behavior, so he immediately followed.

It turned out that the two famous doctors invited by Su Bo came here, one of them was He Langzhong who was very experienced in treating erysipelas, he had saved many people who had been infected by erysipelas, and of course he had also cured many people to death.

When he saw that doctor Zhang and others had poured eight bowls of blood on Li Yan, he immediately urged Su Bo to find Li Yan's children.He himself opened his medicine chest and took out the quill which he had kept safe.

Physician Zhang and others didn't know what He Langzhong was going to do. Seeing Li Yan's symptoms after bleeding, they decided that she would not be able to survive, because her body was too weak to bear the loss of so much blood.Seeing that Li Yan was about to die, they also trembled, thinking that the emperor was going to chop off their heads, and they had to be buried for the empress.

Su Bai brought Jun'er and Xiao'er, He Langzhong immediately said: "Quick! Give them two bowls of blood!"

"Ah?" Su Bai exclaimed, "It's absolutely impossible! Aren't you wanting the lives of the princess and the prince?"

He Langzhong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and said: "Two bowls of blood will not kill them, but only hurt their bodies. They are the empress's children, don't they want to save their mother at the expense of themselves?"

Jun'er and Xiao'er quickly replied: "Yes, yes! Save your mother quickly!" They stretched out their hands and urged Doctor Zhang to do it quickly.

Xu Cheng walked in quickly, seeing that He Langzhong seemed to have a way to save Li Yan, his heart felt hot, and he said, "Let my blood go!"

When He Langzhong heard Xu Cheng calling himself "Zhen", he knew that he was the emperor.

He Langzhong hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, please don't come here to make trouble. This blood is not used casually. Once Caomin used a dog's blood to transfuse a child's wrist, and the child was saved. A man's blood was injected into his wife's wrist, and his wife died on the spot. After many live examples, Caomin came to a conclusion that only the blood of a child or parents of a sick person could be saved. Greater certainty, but this is only greater certainty. If the blood of the princess and the prince can only be fused with the emperor, but not with the empress, I am afraid it will still be hopeless."

He Langzhong didn't want to explain any more, and it would be too late if there was any further delay. He urged Imperial Physician Zhang, "Quickly bleed the princess and the prince!"

Jun'er and Xiao'er stretched out their hands with their eyes closed, and Imperial Physician Zhang let them bleed. After each put two bowls, the imperial doctors immediately blocked the blood hole for them both and wrapped them tightly with gauze.

Jun'er was fine, Xiao'er was weak and a little dizzy, she was carried down, but she didn't worry about her life.

He Langzhong inserted the goose quill into Li Yan's wrist vessel, and injected the blood of the two children into Li Yan's body.

Everyone present was stunned, this was really the first time they had seen such a scene, it really was a famous doctor, and the method was too strange!
Xu Cheng has been staring at Li Yan's face, observing the color changes on her face. He is expecting a miracle to happen. At this time, he has inexplicable trust in this strange He Langzhong, even though He Langzhong was very rude to him just now. , but it is enough to see that He Langzhong regards the sick as the sky, and is not afraid of the emperor's Longwei.

Doctors like him who only pay attention to saving lives and healing the wounded without caring about the identity of the other party are often very skilled in medicine. Xu Cheng placed deep hopes and great trust in him.

Li Yan was given eight bowls of blood just now, her face was already as pale as paper, she really looked like a dead person.But half an hour later, her face gradually seemed to have some color. Although the naked eye could not see the obvious change, Xu Cheng kept his eyes on and observed carefully. He was sure that he saw the change.

After more than an hour, He Langzhong finally put down the goose quill, tightly wrapped the vein for Li Yan to prevent the blood from flowing out, and then said to Xu Cheng: "Your Majesty, it is not certain whether this method can save the empress. If the three bloods restrain each other, there will be no power to return to heaven. All this depends on the fate of the empress, let's wait and see what happens, and wait until tomorrow morning to see if the pulse and breath of the empress can recover, if not, then..."

Xu Cheng raised his hand to signal him not to continue talking, then waved them all out with his sleeves and waited outside, he stood by Li Yan's side alone.

When he found that Li Yan's face was getting more and more colorful, the sound of breathing was gradually audible, and he could feel his pulse, he was full of blood, his whole body was agitated, and he seemed to see Li Yan walking towards him slowly. .

He believes that the blood of Jun'er and Xiao'er can fuse with Li Yan, and they say that mother and child are connected, and Li Yan risked his life to save Xiao'er, so Xiao'er and Jun'er will definitely be able to save their mother this time.

He kept guarding like this for a full twelve hours, that is, one day later, he was still guarding by Li Yan's side.The people waiting outside all took turns to go back to sleep. When they came back, they found that the emperor was still sitting firmly like a clock, and they were all in admiration. The emperor is the emperor. No wonder he can win the world, because he has physical strength that ordinary people do not have. Endurance and perseverance.

He kept holding Li Yan's hand in his palm, carefully feeling Li Yan's awakening of life.At this moment, he suddenly felt something touch in his hand, Li Yan's fingers seemed to move, and his whole body was shaken!
Looking at Li Yan's face again, her eyes were still closed. Although her complexion was still pale, it was slowly approaching the complexion of a normal person.

After a while, Li Yan's fingers moved again.Xu Cheng felt that Li Yan was about to wake up, he was so surprised that he didn't know what to do, he thought to himself, what should he say to Li Yan when she wakes up later?Will she still look at him with resentment as before, or turn a blind eye to him and be indifferent?

He felt that he would be at a loss in the face of these. When she closed her eyes, he could express his heart to her, but if she woke up, he felt that he would definitely not be able to say a word.

At the same time, Li Yan's eyelashes also trembled.

Xu Cheng suddenly let go of his hand, and hurriedly walked out, let Nanny Cui, Qi'er, Qing'er, Imperial Physician Zhang, He Langzhong and others come in, while he went to Chunhui Hall, joyful all the way like a child.

As soon as Cui Momo and others came in, they saw Li Yan's eyelashes blinking, and immediately cheered excitedly, their empress was finally saved.

Xiao'er was able to get up this morning, he and Jun'er were lying on the edge of the bed together, watching Li Yan's eyelashes tremble, and kept calling for the queen mother.

At this time, He Langzhong suddenly asked the imperial physician Zhang, "Seeing that the empress is about to wake up, why does the emperor run away?"

Physician Zhang shook his head, "Don't bother with the emperor's affairs. If you saved the empress this time, the emperor will definitely keep you as an imperial physician in the palace. From now on, you and I will be colleagues. How to deal with the emperor's temper? You still have to learn a few tricks from me."

He Langzhong had a bitter face, he didn't want to stay in the palace, he was born with a mouth that would not please others, what should he do if he offended the emperor?
As soon as Xu Cheng came to Chunhui Hall, he lay down and slept with his eyes closed with a smile on his face. He was really tired these few days, and he didn't rest for two days and two nights. He fell asleep immediately after lying down. That's six hours.

He didn't wake up until night when the lights were turned on.

After dinner, Xu Cheng saw Su Bai standing aside with a relaxed expression, and he knew that Li Yan had not only woken up, but presumably could talk.

He dug out the books on medical skills, wanting to know what methods can replenish Li Yan's blood quickly.

Su Bo saw the book in Xu Cheng's hand, stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the imperial hospital has prepared a lot of blood-enriching medicine for the empress, such as donkey-hide gelatin, angelica, rehmannia glutinosa, white peony root, wolfberry fruit, longan meat, etc. He Langzhong also said that the empress can eat meals from tomorrow, and the imperial dining hall is also preparing to make various blood-enriching and qi-enhancing dishes. The emperor does not need to worry about these. What I am wondering is... why does the emperor not Go to see the empress?"

Xu Cheng put down the book in his hand, looked very satisfied, and asked: "How is she... now?"

Su Bai replied with a smile: "The empress said that she was dreaming, that she was out of the palace, why did she come back again, she seemed to be very unwilling to come back, and even clamored for Nanny Cui to help her take off the phoenix robe Come down. Mother Cui disobeyed once this time, and didn't agree, saying that she was afraid of hurting the empress' body by taking off her clothes, so she didn't listen to the empress."

Xu Cheng couldn't help laughing, this woman really has a stubborn temper, she just got into trouble after she could say a few words.

At this time, Xu Cheng's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Does she know that Yu Yu and the two Jiangnan girls were sent out of the palace?"

Su Bai was slightly stunned, "It seems that Nanny Cui hasn't had time to tell the empress, if the emperor goes to talk to the empress at this time, the empress will be very happy."

But Xu Cheng waved his hand and said, "No, she hasn't woken up for a long time, and her body is still extremely weak. It's not good for her to be too excited."

Xu Cheng knew a little bit about medical skills, and knew that patients should not be too excited, otherwise it would be bad for their health, and it might put the patients in a dangerous situation.

After pondering for a moment, he said again: "You tell the people serving in Chengyuan Palace not to tell the queen about Yuyu and the Jiangnan woman, and I will tell her in person tomorrow."

Su Bai secretly laughed in his heart, why did the emperor think that the empress would be too excited, if the empress didn't respond after hearing this, then the emperor should be disappointed?

Before Li Yan opened her eyes, she heard bursts of surprise and laughter in the room. She opened her eyes slightly, and what she saw was Cui Nanny's wrinkled face. Cui Nanny was compact in front of her eyes. A pair of dim eyes were also staring at Li Yan's eyes.

Li Yan was a little frightened by Nanny Cui's facial features that were too close, but Nanny Cui grinned, and then yelled, "Your Majesty opened your eyes, Your Majesty is awake!"

Li Yan was a little confused by the excited atmosphere in the room, she thought it must be a dream, because how could she lie back on the bed in Chengyuan Palace again?At this time, she either passed out from the pain or was poisoned to death.

It wasn't until Jun'er and Xiao'er came up to her and talked for a while, but Cui Nanny and Qi'er insisted on refusing to take off the phoenix robe for her, that she felt that this was not a dream, but real, and she still Live well.

Nanny Cui and the others were so happy, she must have escaped death, everyone thought she was going to die, but she miraculously survived, and seeing Imperial Physician Zhang and a few doctors she didn't know, she was even more sure That's it.

It's just... Xu Cheng brought her back to the palace, why did he make her queen?Li Yan guessed that Xu Cheng must have decided that she must die, and because of her death, he gave her face and let her be the queen for a while. Anyway, after she died, Xu Cheng could make her another queen.

It's not like Xu Cheng regrets making her queen now, why hasn't he appeared after so long?
At this moment, Li Yan saw Qing'er who was beaming beside her, and sighed in her heart, her plan to leave the palace failed!
