Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 334 Choice
"The old minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." After hearing what the emperor said, the old man kowtowed again.

Chen Wenxin couldn't understand at all, she tilted her head to look at the old man, thinking, could that man be a courtier?
The emperor choked up when he heard him say that. He bent down to help the old man and said, "Doctor Bai, don't say that. If it wasn't for you, I would have died of smallpox a long time ago."

It was only after hearing this that Chen Wenxin realized that this old man was actually the imperial doctor who treated Kangxi smallpox when he was young.

After exchanging greetings with the doctor, the emperor asked him to sit down, and asked someone to pour tea for him, before he said to Chen Wenxin: "Nian Nian, this is Bai Enyi, the imperial physician who took care of me when I was young."

Chen Wenxin nodded towards the old man, and only then did he realize that the old man's eyes were gray and white, probably suffering from glaucoma, so she purposely said, "Hello, old man."

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. I'm just a reckless old man, so I really can't afford to say my Majesty an old gentleman." The old man said that he was about to salute again, and Chen Wenxin quickly winked at Bai Lu who was standing at the door, and Bai Lu hurriedly helped him up. .

"Doctor Bai used to be judged by the Imperial Hospital, but something happened later and he was involved in trouble. The doctor resigned and retired. I didn't expect to see the doctor again." The emperor seemed to recall some things from the past , looked very excited.

Bai Enyi shook his head, feeling very emotional.

Chen Wenxin only felt that the emperor was very excited, she reached out and patted the emperor's back, and said: "Okay, emperor, you will embarrass Mr. Bai by doing this."

The emperor reacted after hearing this, now he is no longer that teenage child, but an emperor who has been in power for a long time.He smiled, and then remembered the reason why Bai Enyi came.

"I heard that your mother has been poisoned by 'Gu'?" Bai Enyi said after sitting down for a while, if it wasn't for this poison, he might never have stepped into the palace in his whole life.

Chen Wenxin nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that this is what the princess guessed."

"Then can I let the old man cut the pulse for the empress?" Bai Enyi said while stroking his beard.

Chen Wenxin stretched out his hand and said, "Old sir, please."

Although Bai Enyi's two eyes seemed to be completely blind, there was no abnormality in his walking. Instead, he was like a normal person. Chen Wenxin was a little surprised. Could it be that this old gentleman has no eye diseases?

Bai Enyi seemed to be aware of Chen Wenxin's strangeness, he smiled and said, "I don't rely on my eyes when I walk."

As he spoke, he took out a pulse pillow from his worn-out medicine box and put it on the table beside him. Chen Wenxin stretched out his hand and put his wrist on the pulse pillow. A handkerchief, put the handkerchief on Chen Wenxin's wrist, and put his hand on his pulse.

The emperor watched the old man's movements and sighed, but he didn't say anything, just waited patiently.

After Bai Enyi checked the pulse of both his left and right hands, he asked Bai Lu about Chen Wenxin's recent appetite and his current complexion, and then stroked his long braided beard, and said earnestly: "This is indeed true. It’s that kind of poison, that’s right.”

"Can that remove the poison?" The emperor asked anxiously.

Bai Enyi didn't answer right away, but paused for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty's poison is not deep, if you want to treat it, it will be cured. Your Majesty's poison enters from the mouth and hurts the abdomen, so there are two ways to treat it. "

"...Doctor, please tell me." Chen Wenxin had a premonition of uneasiness, and she subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen.

"One is a quick and thorough treatment method, and the other is a gradual treatment method. The former can be cured in three days, while the severe one will take three years." Bai Enyi sighed as he spoke, and he looked up at Chen Wenxin.

His two eyes could no longer see things clearly, and he could barely see the blurred figure clearly. Looking at the young silhouette in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable.

The emperor sat on the side, he heard that Chen Wenxin's poison might have hurt the woman's body, so he didn't want to ask.

She is still so young, they don't have a child of their own...

"Doctor, please tell me the difference between thorough treatment and gradual adjustment." Chen Wenxin looked at the emperor's dimmed expression, and couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart.

If it was true that she had injured her uterus as she had guessed... Maybe...

She didn't want to think too much, so she closed her eyes and let herself calm down first.

Hearing what Chen Wenxin said, Bai Enyi knew that she was already prepared, so he said slowly: "A thorough treatment requires medicine to drive out all the bugs and eggs in the empress' body, and the empress will vomit and become red all the time, and all the eggs can be expelled In the body, it's just...the empress can't conceive again in this life."

Hearing Bai Enyi's last words, Chen Wenxin closed her eyes deeply, bit her lip, and used painful methods to wake herself up.

She felt that her hand was tightly held by the emperor, and the scorching temperature made her feel a little relieved.

She opened her eyes, her eye sockets were slightly red, the emperor couldn't help but put his arms around her shoulders, she just shook her head, then fixedly looked at Bai Enyi, and said, "Then how about treating him slowly?"

"The slow treatment is to let the empress drink the weakly toxic medicinal soup, and slowly poison the Gu insects and eggs to death in the body, so that there will be no fundamental harm to the empress' body, and she can become pregnant, but..." Bai Enyi said After a pause, he couldn't bear to say it.

Chen Wenxin was much stronger than he imagined, she sat up straight, and said decisively: "Sir, don't have any scruples, please tell everything."

"It's just that the empress must take the decoction every day. The medicine is poisonous and may harm the empress's jade body, and the Gu worms in the empress may develop resistance to the poison accumulated over time, so it is necessary to change it every thirty days. Poison decoction..." Bai Enyi said and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor nodded to him, asking him to continue.

Bai Enyi then said: "It's just that every time you change a soup, your mother will be in danger of being poisoned, and this danger is increasing day by day. In addition, this method cannot completely cure the Gu insects. If your mother becomes pregnant in the future, the fetus may also be infected by the Gu insects." cannot be born because of the threat."

"If the child is born, will it be harmed by poisonous insects?" Chen Wenxin asked hastily.

"When the empress is pregnant, she must also take the decoction. The fetus will absorb the toxin and the resistance in the empress' body during the growth process. If it can be born safely, it will not be harmed by the Gu insects." Bai Enyi said.

Even though that's what he said, Bai Enyi's meaning is also very obvious. Even if he chooses the second option, there will be a high chance of miscarriage after pregnancy...

Chen Wenxin was confused, she was only in her teens now, not yet an adult.

Why do we have to face this choice?
Looking at the sadness on Chen Wenxin's brows, the emperor felt that he was almost swallowed up by self-blame, why he didn't care about her, why did he let her suffer like this.

No one spoke, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

The north wind was blowing outside the window, and the windows were creaking, as if mocking her tortuous fate.

After a long time, Chen Wenxin opened his mouth and finally said: "Then treat it slowly, maybe there will be other more convenient methods in the future."

"Nian Nian, it's okay...you..." The emperor immediately turned his head when he heard this, but he couldn't say that we can live without children for the rest of our lives.

Chen Wenxin raised the corners of her lips and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, I hope to have a child of my own in the future, so it doesn't matter to me, no matter what happens, I will live a good life."

Chen Wenxin said this sentence very lightly, as if he was just stating a simple fact.

The emperor held Chen Wenxin's hand tightly, he lowered his head and leaned his forehead on Chen Wenxin's, he suddenly felt that he was useless, he clearly wanted to protect her so much, he wished to abandon everything and take her far away, but he Did not protect her well.

Even, he didn't even know who was secretly poisoning her, and he couldn't even ask...

"It doesn't matter, as long as the emperor is by the side of the concubine, as long as the concubine is alive, everything will be fine." Chen Wenxin reached out to hug the emperor and said softly.

In fact, she couldn't even lie to herself.

It's just that in this deep palace, since she has already come, since she can't get out, she must live on. Although the first method can make her more relaxed in the future, but in that case, once she loses the emperor's favor, she will lose everything. No.

The emperor has his own difficulties, and even has his own last resort, even now he can't protect her, let alone in the future.

If she could take advantage of the emperor's guilt this time and save the princess, she wouldn't be counted as being calculated for nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenxin suddenly felt startled. When did she become such a person who always thinks of herself?

She could hear the emperor's steady heartbeat with her eyes closed and her ears tilted, but hearing such a powerful heartbeat at this moment did not make her feel at ease at all.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help reaching out her hand to touch the luminous pearl under the pillow, clutching the pearl firmly in her hand, constantly recalling the emperor's words "I have a stone in my heart", she thought, maybe all of this was because she was thinking too much.

This time you survived a catastrophe, after all, you have future blessings waiting for you.

She slowly closed her eyes, immersing herself in her own hypnosis.

The sky slowly darkened, and soon there was the sound of pattering rain. Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground and smashed into several petals, cooling the warm air.

Bai Lu quietly led Bai Enyi back out, leaving room for the emperor and Concubine Qin.

She stood on the porch and looked as if she would never stop the ice rain, and suddenly, a person broke into the rain curtain so directly.
