The world of film and television begins from childhood

In fact, he was also aware of the Empress Dowager's physical condition. He might not believe what one imperial physician said, but the fact that all the imperial physicians said the same thing spoke volumes.

He didn't have much hope for Zhou Chen, but he still wanted to know if there was any way to cure Zhou Chen. After all, she was his biological grandmother.

Zhou Chen did not answer immediately, but had a complicated expression on his face, thinking about how to answer.

Emperor Liang was very smart. He could tell at a glance that Zhou Chen was hesitant to speak, and his face darkened.

"Tell the truth, and I will pardon you."

Zhou Chen organized his words and said, "The Empress Dowager's health is indeed not very good. The illness is only one of the reasons. The most important reason is the normal degeneration of her internal organs."

Emperor Liang understood Zhou Chen's meaning and asked in a cold voice, "You mean, the Empress Dowager is dying and there is no cure?"

When he said this, Zhou Chen didn't react at all, but the other people around him were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Especially Princess Li Yang, who recommended Zhou Chen, was horrified. She recommended Zhou Chen with the intention of repaying Zhou Chen, but if she angered Emperor Liang, the consequences would be disastrous.

Except for Princess Li Yang, no one in the palace cared about Zhou Chen. They were just frightened by Emperor Liang's aura.

The only person who cared most about Zhou Chen was Meng Zhi, who was waiting outside the hall. He had amazing hearing and almost couldn't help but rush in to defend Zhou Chen.

Although his relationship with Zhou Chen is not as good as that with Xiao Shu, their relationship has made great progress over the past six months. It is not as good as that with Xiao Shu, but it is still much stronger than that with others. Therefore, he is the person here who least wants Zhou Chen to get into trouble.

However, Zhou Chen did not show any panic at all. Instead, he answered very calmly.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's current condition is not beyond saving. I can use my internal energy combined with medicine to treat her. However, this method cannot be maintained for a long time, and I have to personally treat the Empress Dowager every two days."

When Emperor Liang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, which meant that there was still hope.

"How long can the Empress Dowager last?"

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Please forgive my incompetence. I can only maintain it for three months at most."

Three months was the best he could do.

The Pure Yang Technique he practiced was extremely yang and strong, extremely domineering, but also full of vitality. It was an excellent internal energy for treating internal injuries.

He has now practiced the Pure Yang Technique to perfection and can use it as easily as his own arm. The treatment effect is even greater. Combined with some medicine, it can still help the Empress Dowager to stay alive temporarily.

In later generations, some people could use money to save their lives. Although we do not have the medical conditions of later generations, the pure Yang internal force is more effective than many medical devices.

"March?"

Emperor Liang was very surprised. Before, the imperial physicians who treated the Empress Dowager said that she would not last for a few days, or at most half a month. Now Zhou Chen said that she could last for three months. This was more amazing than all the imperial physicians.

"really?"

"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that as long as nothing unexpected happens and you follow my instructions, there will be no problem."

Emperor Liang said immediately: "Okay, let's do as you say. As long as you can keep the Empress Dowager alive for another three months, I will reward you handsomely."

"I cannot cure the Empress Dowager, and I am ashamed to accept the task."

"I am the Son of Heaven, my word is law. As long as you do well, I will reward you, and you can continue."

What else could Zhou Chen say? He could only pretend to be grateful and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang recalled what Zhou Chen had just said and asked, "You just said that you need to treat the Grand Empress Dowager every two days?"

"Yes, I dare not hide it from your majesty. This treatment method can only be used with the inner strength of this common people. Therefore, the treatment method is different from that of ordinary doctors. It must be performed by this common people themselves."

"Well, the Empress Dowager lives in the palace and cannot go out at will, so you need to come to the inner palace once every two days, Gao Zhan."

Gao Zhan, the first eunuch on the Langya List, immediately bowed and responded, "The old servant is here."

"Prepare a token for him so he can enter and leave the palace."

"Old slave, I obey."

After giving Gao Zhan his instructions, Emperor Liang asked again, "So we're going to start the treatment today?"

Zhou Chen said: "Your Majesty, I need medicinal herbs for treatment. I'm afraid it's too late today. I can use my inner strength to help the Empress Dowager stabilize her heart. Once the medicinal herbs are prepared tomorrow, we can start the treatment."

Emperor Liang nodded and said, "Just tell me what herbs you need. Gao Zhan, arrange for someone to follow Mr. Chen and do our best to satisfy his requests."

"I obey your command." Gao Zhan remained respectful.

Zhou Chen said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is in poor health. When I use my inner strength to treat her, I need to be quiet and cautious, and there can't be any mistakes. So I can't let too many people be present, just in case..."

Emperor Liang did not doubt it. He had never practiced kung fu, but he knew the existence of internal force. Internal force treatment did carry certain risks.

"The Empress Dowager must be served by someone, how about leaving two maids?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

After the discussion, Emperor Liang did not delay any longer and waved to everyone in the hall.

"Go away, go away, don't come here if you have nothing to do."

Emperor Liang had spoken, so who would dare to object? Everyone left the palace obediently, except Concubine Jing, who looked at Zhou Chen curiously before leaving.

After everyone left, Zhou Chen began to treat the Empress Dowager. Half an hour later, the Empress Dowager's face looked red, and Zhou Chen stopped.

He wiped the sweat from his head and used his inner strength to heal the Grand Empress Dowager. This was even more troublesome than when he treated Mei Changsu, because the Grand Empress Dowager's body was already exhausted and was in much worse condition than Mei Changsu's.

The Empress Dowager did not wake up, and the next thing was left to the palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace, while he walked out of the palace.

As soon as he walked out of the palace, Zhou Chen saw Gao Zhan with a kind face.

"Mr. Chen."

"Eunuch Gao."

Gao Zhan said with a smile: "It seems that Master Chen's treatment is going well. This is the token that His Majesty gave you. With this token, you can enter and leave the palace at any time."

Zhou Chen took the token handed over by Gao Zhan and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Eunuch Gao."

"They are all for your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. It's not troublesome at all. But Master Chen, your medical skills are really superb and admirable."

Hearing Gao Zhan's probing words, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Eunuch Gao, you are too kind. I only know a little bit about folk remedies, and I cannot be called a master of medicine. By the way, I will come to treat the Grand Empress Dowager tomorrow, and I will need some medicinal herbs. I will trouble you again, Eunuch Gao."

Gao Zhan called the eunuch next to him and asked him to write down the medicinal materials Zhou Chen needed, and then arranged for someone to send Zhou Chen out of the palace.

It is said that Zhou Chen can enter and leave the palace freely, but Zhou Chen will definitely not be allowed to wander around alone. Someone needs to lead him in and out.

After Zhou Chen left, Gao Zhan did not leave the Empress Dowager's palace immediately. Instead, he asked someone to call the imperial physician to check the Empress Dowager's condition.

After confirming that the Empress Dowager's condition had not worsened but had improved, he was completely relieved and went to report to Emperor Liang.

Zhou Chen left the palace but did not go home directly. Instead, he made a detour and made sure that no one was following him before heading to the Su Mansion.

When he arrived at Mei Changsu's residence, Zhou Chen discovered that in addition to Mei Changsu, there was another person, who was Meng Zhi.

"Xiaochen, Brother Meng told me about my great-grandmother's matter."

As soon as Mei Changsu saw Zhou Chen, he said anxiously, "Grandma loves us the most. She can recognize us at a glance. No matter what, you must do your best to save her. I beg you."

Zhou Chen said: "You don't need me to tell you, I know what to do, but I'll tell you the truth, Grandma's condition is very bad, she's almost at the end of her life. Even if I use my pure yang internal energy and some precious medicinal materials to keep her alive, it's still a stretch. At most three months, she'll..."

Mei Changsu understood what Zhou Chen meant, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

All of his closest relatives are gone. Although he still has some relatives, they are either his enemies or they don’t know him. His great-grandmother can be said to be the closest elder to him in this world.

"Even if it's only for three months, Xiaochen, you have to save her."

Zhou Chen sighed, "Of course I will try my best, but letting her live for three more months may not be a good thing. She will live but her body will suffer."

Mei Changsu remained silent. He understood this truth, but even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he still wanted his grandmother to be alive.

"I will go to the palace every two days from now on. Xiao Shu, if you want to meet your great grandmother, I can find a way to make it happen."

Mei Changsu was tempted, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and refused.

"Forget it. What if I meet her? If I go, it will arouse suspicion. Forget it. I will just stay here and pray for my great-grandmother every day."

Zhou Chen comforted her, "You know in your heart that Grandma died of old age. She lived a more wonderful life than most people in the world. What's more, she was able to see you and me before she passed away. Even if she was confused, it was a kind of comfort."

Mei Changsu silently shed tears: "Yes, as long as Grandma is happy."

Meng Zhi couldn't get a word in at the sidelines. Unlike Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, he had no blood relationship with the Empress Dowager, let alone any feelings for her.

The next morning, Zhou Chen went to the palace and began to treat the Empress Dowager.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was in a coma for almost ten hours out of the twelve hours a day. Even when she woke up, she was basically confused and incoherent, and was rarely clear-headed.

A few days passed in a flash. Under Zhou Chen's treatment, the Empress Dowager looked much better than before and was awake more often.

However, her Alzheimer's disease has not improved and she basically doesn't recognize people anymore. But every time Zhou Chen went there, she was very happy and called him "Xiaochen Xiaochen".

Because the Empress Dowager had been confused for many years, and Zhou Chen used the alias Chen, other people did not suspect anything. They were more happy that the Empress Dowager was in good spirits.

That day, Zhou Chen did not go to the palace, but took Gong Yu for a walk outside. However, when they went out, they sat in a carriage and did not get off.

He originally wanted to take Gong Yu out of the city for a walk, but now he had to treat the Empress Dowager, and Emperor Liang would definitely send people to keep an eye on him, so in order not to arouse suspicion, he decided not to leave the city and just wander around the city.

It was not until the following evening that they returned to the mansion. He was just about to take Gong Yu back to her room to rest, but suddenly his ears moved and he turned to look at the courtyard wall in front of him, only to see a figure appear on the wall.

"Fei Liu, why are you here?"

Fei Liu jumped in front of Zhou Chen, looking anxious, and called out, "Brother Su, Brother Su."

Seeing Fei Liu's anxious look, Zhou Chen frowned and asked, "What happened to Xiao Shu?"

Fei Liu was scratching his head anxiously, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, Zhou Chen stopped asking and said to Gong Yu, "I'll go see Xiao Shu first, you go back to your room and rest."

Gong Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhou Chen did not delay and quickly pulled Fei Liu away.

As soon as they arrived at the Su Mansion, Li Gang and Zhen Ping came to greet them.

"Sir, you are here."

"What happened to Xiaoshu?"

Li Gang said, "The Sect Master went to the Heavenly Prison today, and after returning, he locked himself up and didn't let anyone in. We were very worried, but we didn't dare to go in, so we asked Fei Liu to find you."

Zhen Ping also said anxiously: "Young Master, please go in and persuade the Sect Master."

"okay, I get it."

Zhou Chen walked directly into Mei Changsu's room. Li Gang and Zhen Ping didn't dare to go in, but they both stretched their heads to listen to what was going on inside.

Walking into the room, Zhou Chen saw Mei Changsu's lonely back. He was sitting there alone, without a sound, as if he had blended into the environment.

Zhou Chen came and sat down next to him, and Mei Changsu turned around and said, "I knew that no one else would barge in like this except you."

"Fei Liu came to see me. I thought you had a cold attack and couldn't control it. I didn't expect you to be here in a daze alone. I worried for nothing."

"I went to the Tianlao today and met Xie Yu. I also saw the Han cell where Brother Qi Wang committed suicide."

"So you have become like this? Do you think that you are what Marshal Lin and Prince Qi want to see? After knowing the truth, you should be more motivated instead of being as depressed as you are now."

Mei Changsu sighed faintly: "You are right, I should not be depressed, but my heart is really uncomfortable, very uncomfortable."

As he spoke, he bent over in pain with a sad expression.

Zhou Chen reached out and patted him on the back, advising him: "Think more about good things. At least now we have defeated Xie Yu and supported Prince Jing. This is a good start. Our victory is not far away."

"Yes, not far away, not far away."

Mei Changsu's eyes were deep, as if he had seen that day coming.

It took a long time for Mei Changsu to regain his normal composure.

"Today I specially asked Jingyan and Sister Dong to go to the prison to listen. Jingyan will definitely be unable to sit still if he knows the truth. He will probably come through the secret passage soon. You should leave first."

"Well, it's fine for me to go, but you don't have to be like before. I have to treat my grandmother now, so I can't come to you often."

"I know. Don't worry. Treating grandma is your top priority right now."

After talking to Mei Changsu, Zhou Chen did not stay but quickly left the Su Mansion.

Chapter 854: Prince Yu becomes suspicious, Qin Banruo plots, and the beautiful Junniang

In a blink of an eye, another month passed and it was now June. The much-talked-about Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu incident finally came to an end.

Under Mei Changsu's manipulation, Xie Yu finally collapsed, Xia Jiang no longer trusted Xie Yu, and finally Xie Yu was exiled, and the time is today.

Outside the city of Jinling, Xie Yu was wearing handcuffs and shackles and wearing a coarse linen shirt. He no longer had the former high spirits, arrogance and domineering attitude, but only loneliness and vicissitudes.

He was no longer the powerful Ningguo Marquis in Jinling City. Now he was just an exile who no one cared about.

Apart from his two sons and his wife, Princess Li Yang, no one else came to see him off.
