Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 372 Is it okay or not?
The three of them rushed to the emperor's large tent, only to see several servants surrounded by the emperor's bed.

Hearing their footsteps, everyone stepped aside.

The emperor was lying on the bed, coughing lightly, as if he had choked on the medicine too quickly, his face flushed a little.

"Your Majesty, that medicine... I haven't checked it out yet, how can you take it?"

Lu Zong stepped forward to check the emperor's pulse. Prince Gong looked at the servants serving the emperor with wide eyes, "Are you all dead? Just watched the emperor swallow the medicine?"

The servants shrank back, and Da Ge stood up.

"Ama, don't blame them. It's all my fault. Just now I took the medicine to Huang Ama to have a look. Huang Ama leaned in and looked at it, and asked me if it was the Jinji Nashuang that Huang Erniang said. .”

She choked up.

"I didn't expect Huang Ama to swallow it in my mouth when I nodded. The servants wanted to stop me, but they dared to break Huang Ama's mouth?"

Da Gege's temper of blaming the slaves, it seems that he learned from Chen Wenxin.

Chen Wenxin would never get angry with his slaves, he would punish them if they made mistakes, and would never let them carry their backs if they were right.

Prince Gong snorted, "You don't dare, I dare!"

As he spoke, he leaned towards the emperor, who suddenly turned his head and gave him a cold look.

"you dare?"

Prince Gong's hand froze in the air, and he quickly let it go.

The emperor said coldly: "I'm sick, so you don't take me seriously? Chang Ning, your courage is getting bigger and bigger."

Prince Gong was always courageous, but in the whole world, he was afraid of only one person.

That is the emperor.

In front of Prince Yu, he was not so afraid.

Lu Zong finally let go of his hand, his face relaxed a little.

"This medicine should not be poisonous. The emperor's pulse condition has not changed for the time being, and the two soldiers who took the medicine just now have not changed."

For now, no change is the best change.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zong said again: "Has the emperor seen the secrets of that medicine? Tell me, so I know what I'm waiting for."

The emperor shook his head and motioned for him to pour a glass of water.

A slave had already carefully handed warm water to the side, lest Prince Gong would stare at them again.

After the emperor drank the water, he said slowly: "I don't see any way, I heard that the medicine of the Westerners is not made from our medicine, how can I understand it?"

"The emperor couldn't understand, why did he just eat it?"

The emperor cast a faint glance at Lu Zong, "The imperial concubine said that this medicine can cure malaria, and I believe her."

Compared with the doubts of other imperial physicians and Lu Zong's hesitation, the emperor's belief is extremely firm.

Lu Zong couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, recalling what Chen Wenxin had done in the past years——

There is indeed a reason for the emperor to trust her so firmly.

Prince Gong and Prince Yu glanced at each other, and the expressions in each other's eyes were clear.

That's one kind, it's over. Anyway, the emperor was confused by this woman. If it's cured, it's because of her eyes.

"I'm a little tired, you all retreat."

The emperor suddenly said this, and Lu Zong subconsciously took the emperor's wrist again.

These days, Lu Zong was by the emperor's side every day, and had to check his pulse from time to time, the emperor has long been used to it.

He closed his eyes on his own, only showing one hand outside the quilt, and slowly fell asleep.

The gazes of Prince Gong and others cast eagerly on Lu Zong's hand, wishing to stare a hole out of his hand.

Both nervous and terrified.

I was afraid that Lu Zong would say something ominous.

After a while, Lu Zong gently put down the emperor's hand, put it under the quilt, and tucked the corner of the quilt tightly.

He raised his head and shook his head inaudibly towards Prince Gong and the others.

This is what it means to see no problem.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly exited the emperor's tent.

"The emperor has eaten this medicine. If there is nothing worse, the next official will continue to give it to the emperor."

He suddenly felt that his worry was unnecessary, Chen Wenxin was so sure, and the emperor was so sure, why should he be worried?

It's asking for trouble!

Prince Gong and others were taken aback for a moment, wondering why Lu Zong's attitude changed so quickly.

Just now he was so anxious that he rushed into the big tent like flying, why is he going to continue to take medicine for the emperor now?
Could it be that he is a broken pot...

Prince Gong's tantrum was immediately ignited, "How can it be? If you want to say that, I will go and dig out the medicine that the emperor has swallowed!"

"What are you messing around with? What are you picking!"

Prince Yu lowered his voice, and glanced at the big tent, for fear that Prince Gong's loud voice would disturb the emperor to rest.

"The medicine has been in the stomach a long time ago, how can you pick it out? You have a loud voice, why didn't you pick it just now? The emperor stares at you and you know it's scary."

Prince Gong wanted to argue about something, and Prince Yu said to Lu Zong again: "Doctor Lu, according to my opinion, this medicine should not be given to the emperor any more. Just follow what we said earlier and see if the soldiers finish eating it." Not good, if it’s good, give it to the emperor.”

This is naturally the safest way, but...

Lu Zongdao: "The emperor has been ill for a long time, if this continues, one is afraid that the effect of the medicine will not be effective, and the other is that the capital will be ineffective..."

The emperor's serious illness made people panic when thinking of coming to Beijing.

There is no crown prince, no queen, only Chen Wenxin and a secret edict.

I'm afraid that if it's too late, there will be changes, there will be chaos in the capital, and Chen Wenxin is pregnant and about to give birth, how can he cope with it?
"I think that the reason why the emperor is in a hurry to take the medicine may be because he is worried that the imperial concubine will find it difficult to cope."

Everyone was silent.

Da Gege suddenly said: "Also, Ama, have you forgotten? When I gave it to Huang Ama just now, it was a whole bottle of medicine..."

Even if Lu Zong and the others don't let the emperor eat it, as long as the emperor wants to, he will still eat it.

Prince Gong: "..."

That night, in the frontline barracks, too many people could not sleep at night.

Prince Gong couldn't sleep at night, so he got up in cloak and went outside the emperor's big tent to have a look, the lights inside were flickering.

There were too many soldiers guarding outside, so he didn't approach for fear of disturbing the emperor.

After a while, Lu Zong rushed out of the tent with a look of haste.

Thinking that something happened, he rushed up to stop Lu Zong, "How is it? Has something happened to the emperor?"

Lu Zong was startled by his sudden rush.

"No, it's nothing. The emperor fell asleep, and the servant came out to find a steamed bun to eat."

Prince Gong: "..."

"The king will accompany you to find it."

Seeing that Lu Zong found two steamed buns, took out meat sauce and beef jerky and stuffed them in, and was about to put them in the mouth after dipping them in the sauce, Prince Gong coughed.

Lu Zong hurriedly gave way: "This is for the prince?"

"Then I would like to thank Doctor Lu for his kindness."

Prince Gong didn't even say a word of politeness, and directly took the steamed buns that Lu Zong had made.

Lu Zong quickly grabbed another one, and the two of them sat around the kang table with their heads together, eating steamed buns with a plate of sauce.

Halfway through eating, Prince Gong asked suspiciously: "Doctor Lu, do you have something to hide from me?"

Lu Zong was taken aback, "How could it be? Eat quickly, I will go back to see the emperor after eating."

"If the emperor's condition doesn't improve, are you still in the mood to come out and eat steamed buns? Are you a fool when you think I'm king?"

Prince Gong snorted coldly, as if seeing through him.

Lu Zong didn't change his face and said: "My lord doesn't understand medical principles. If you take this medicine, your illness will come back. Some are obviously good medicine, but after taking it, the patient vomits blood instead. You think it's poison, but in fact the blood is the poison." Blood, it’s fine to spit it out.”

Prince Gong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, the black face and red lips in front of his eyes were still opening and closing.

"Some of these medicines are obviously poisonous, but the pulse condition may be stable after taking it. In fact, it is similar to returning to the light, and the patient may not be able to hold it for a while."

"So whether it's good or bad, I really can't tell for a while! I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back to the big tent to see how the emperor is doing."

Lu Zong swallowed half of the steamed bun in one gulp, and quickly ran out of the tent, leaving Prince Gong alone in the tent.

He was still biting the steamed bun, staring blankly at Lu Zong's back as he galloped away.

What Lu Zong just said seems quite reasonable...

Early the next morning, before dawn, Da Gege waited outside the big tent.

After a while, Prince Gong, Prince Yu, Fei Yanggu and other generals also came.

Whether the medicine is effective or not, you should be able to see clearly after one night.

Prince Yu asked, "Where is Lu Zong? Why isn't he here?"

The soldier guarding outside the account said: "Mr. Lu did not come out last night, and has been guarding the emperor's bed."

Fei Yang said: "Just now I went to the tent where the imperial physicians dispensed medicines. The six soldiers who were sent yesterday have all improved a little today. The lightest sick ones are almost healed. Much better too."

Prince Gong was overjoyed, "Really? What did the imperial doctors say?"

"The imperial physicians were also very surprised. They thought the golden rooster was poison, but they didn't expect it to be effective for the soldiers."

"Oh, that's good, the emperor took this medicine yesterday, and he must have improved!"

Everyone was chattering, and a palace official suddenly walked out of the tent, "Your Highness, Princess, Your Excellencies, Your Majesty invites you all to come in."

Everyone went inside, walked around the screen, and saw Lu Zong standing by the bed and waiting on him.

On the bed, the plain white bed curtain was pulled open, the emperor leaned back on the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, and his back was straight.

He turned his head to look at everyone, his eyes were clear and steady, and he regained his former spirit.

His pale complexion also eased a lot, and he looked bloody, not as scary as before.

Everyone is happy.

Prince Gong said: "Lv Hei-face, oh, Lu Hei-face, I asked you last night if the emperor is better, and you still lie to me? You really..."

Da Gege went up to meet him, and asked the emperor softly, "Huang Ama, are you all right?"

The emperor smiled lightly.

"No, I'm fine."
