The Queen Mother drank the medicine prescribed by Gu Jinzhi, coughed until midnight, and slowly fell asleep.

The emperor also returned to his palace.

He only slept for one watch, and got up on the fourth watch. He first went to the Queen Mother to say hello, and then prepared to go to court.

The Queen Mother also woke up. She usually could only sleep intermittently during the night.

However, this time I didn’t wake up from coughing...

The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this: "Miss Gu's medicine must be effective?"

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly: "That's not necessarily the case. Several miracle doctors from the private sector were able to give the Ai family ten days and a half of relief. The Ai family just thought it was fine, and they liked it very much... Even Gu Shifei's medicine

, the Aijia even responded with hope. The result..."

As a result, the Queen Mother was disappointed in every case.

If you are too happy now, you will be sad in the future.

The Queen Mother was suffering terribly from coughing. For more than a year, she would not let go of the faintest hope.

I don’t know how many times I had hope and how many times I was disappointed.

Although she is now willing to try various treatment methods, she just holds on to luck and no longer hopes easily.

She could only be relieved for a moment and a half, and she was happy.

As he spoke, he coughed slightly again.

I coughed twice and then stopped...

The emperor noticed something different: the Queen Mother usually coughed ten times before she could get some relief. This time, she stopped coughing after two times.

He was ecstatic.

But what the Queen Mother said was right. If it was only a temporary relief, wouldn't it make the Queen Mother feel disappointed and sad? The emperor did not tell the Queen Mother about the abnormality he noticed.

After the Queen Mother finished coughing, she continued: "The two miracle doctors your Majesty invited from Huguang are no different from ordinary folk doctors. I am familiar with the illness of the Ai family. What they said is not new. Send them away.

"

The emperor said yes.

The Queen Mother coughed again, this time she coughed three times and then stopped.

The ecstasy in the emperor's eyes added another layer.

He did not misunderstand. The Queen Mother's coughs were short every time.

"...In the past, the Ai family trusted Gu Shifei the most. His prescriptions and medicines were good, and the real medicine could cure the disease. This time, it didn't work either." The Queen Mother said,

"He is a smart and loyal person. When something happened, he ran to the south of the Yangtze River so as not to cause trouble to the Ai family. Hearing that the Ai family was in trouble, he had the courage to come back. This kind of loyalty is unique in this world.

If he can't find another one, no matter how good his medical skills are, the Ai family will let him cure him. If he is cured, it is the Ai family's luck; if he cannot be cured, it means that the Ai family is not so lucky and can no longer take care of the emperor..."

Say it, she coughed lightly again.

It's just a sound.

This had never happened before. The emperor didn't know whether it was his misunderstanding or whether it was really better, but he still didn't dare to point it out.

He was so happy that he even said yes without even noticing the negativity at the end of the Queen Mother's words.

When the Queen Mother spoke of Gu Shifei's one-in-a-million loyalty, "There will never be another one in this world," there was uncontrollable sadness in her thin brows.

She was afraid that her emotions would be revealed, so she closed her eyes slightly to rest her mind.

Just as the five-shift drum was beating, the eunuch came in and reported in a low voice: "Gu Guogong and Miss Gu are here."

They got up to serve the Queen Mother only after they found out that the Emperor was already at the Queen Mother's place.

The emperor smiled and asked to come in.

Gu Jinzhi and Mr. Gu came in and kowtowed to the emperor and the queen mother.

"The Ai family is very tired. Those quack doctors from the Tai Hospital have to come in every day for consultation. It's really hard for the Ai family to accompany them." The Queen Mother looked at Gu Shifei and Gu Jinzhi and said to the emperor, "Gu Guogong and Miss Gu are with us.

To the Ai family, please don't let those imperial doctors come in today, let them all go to the imperial hospital to wait."

Then he added, "Pack up the Qionglan Palace and let Gu Guogong and Miss Gu stay temporarily so that they can take care of the Ai family."

Qionglan Palace is the closest palace to Kunning Palace. It is small and convenient for other princes to enter the palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and a place where they can rest temporarily if they cannot leave.

The emperor said yes.

Mr. Gu said: "The Queen Mother, I have no fault this time. The Queen Mother and the Emperor have not punished me. I am grateful! However, I no longer have the face to stay in the palace to serve. But this granddaughter of the old minister has some abilities. She is a little girl.

, can relieve the Queen Mother's boredom, why not stay and serve the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was slightly surprised and her eyes fell on Gu Jinzhi's face.

Gu Jinzhi's eyebrows didn't grow long, and she looked very childish.

But when this immature child heard her grandfather tell her to stay alone in the palace, she didn't feel any fear or timidity at all, and stood there calmly.

The Queen Mother could not help but be a little curious.

She trusts Gu Shifei very much. In the past, when Gu Shifei was a supervisor at the Imperial Hospital, he was kind to the Queen Mother. Her current trust is to repay Gu Shifei's kindness.

So Gu Shifei brought his granddaughter to serve in the palace, and the Queen Mother only thought that he was seeking a future for her granddaughter and letting her show her face in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother can also understand.

After all, everyone in their family cannot be rich and noble. In the future, the future of some of their sons and granddaughters may not be satisfactory.

It is also the old man's painstaking efforts to take the opportunity to help his granddaughter.

The Queen Mother, from being a talented person to being the mother of the world, has been more open-minded and generous than men. However, she was a little emotionally disturbed during her illness. Although she was unhappy with Gu Shifei's behavior, she did not blame him.

But, leaving your granddaughter alone?

What should I do if something happens to you?

The Queen Mother coughed lightly two or three more times.

"That's good." The emperor spoke first, "Gu Guogong has been in the palace for a long time, and it's been hard on you. You go back and have a rest. When the Queen Mother is cured, you can come in to pay her respects."

Naturally, the Queen Mother would not refute the emperor, so she smiled and nodded.

The imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital are always on hand, so the Queen Mother is not afraid. Besides, Gu Shifei tried his best, but there was nothing he could do. There was really no use in staying.

The Queen Mother thought, but then looked at her son a few times: To actually let a little girl like Gu Jinzhi stay, does this mean she has completely given up on the Queen Mother's illness?

If the girl were older, the Queen Mother would wonder if the emperor had fallen in love with her. But Gu Jinzhi was so young, and it was probably abnormal for Gu Jinzhi to have feelings for both men and women.

The way the emperor looked at women was quite normal. The Queen Mother did not have this worry. She only suspected that the emperor was perfunctory with her.

But she had been ill for such a long time, and the emperor had been serving her carefully, so it was impossible for her to change her temper all of a sudden.

The reason lies entirely with this little girl.

The Queen Mother was thinking a lot, Gu Shifei had already bowed and said goodbye.

The eunuch from outside also came in and said it was time to go to court.

"Serve the Queen Mother well. If you really can't handle it, ask someone to call for help from the Queen Mother's Hospital." The emperor told Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi's approach was to salute the emperor and his grandfather respectively.

Only the Queen Mother, Gu Jinzhi, and the attendants were left in the room.

The Queen Mother pulled her to her bedside and asked her with a smile: "Do you know how to treat patients?"

"Yes!" Gu Jinzhi replied. "The medicine you drank last night was the prescription prescribed by the daughter of the people. Later, someone will go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine and medicinal materials. The daughter of the people will personally take care of the Queen Mother.

Boil the medicine. After seven days, the Queen Mother's cough will be stopped."

The Queen Mother laughed.

Gu Jinzhi's words made the Queen Mother feel warm in her heart: What she wanted to hear most now was for others to tell her when she would get well.

Even if it's fake.

After suffering from illness for more than a year, the Queen Mother endured unimaginable pain.

If someone can cure her, she will give everything she has to repay him!

Without experiencing it, others will never be able to understand it. Only the Queen Mother herself understands it.

She is a strong-willed woman. She entered the palace just as a talented person, but she gave birth to the eldest prince, who is now the emperor. At that time, she had a queen mother, a queen, a noble concubine, etc., so she was able to give birth to the eldest prince, except

The good luck that pours out from the sky is naturally also due to extraordinary thinking.

She has gone through so many things and suffered so much. Now her eldest son has become the emperor, but her youngest son, King Luyang, is still a half-idiot. How can she let go? Regardless of today's glory and wealth, it is her half-idiot youngest son.

Wang Zhongjun of Luyang is also hard to let go of.

If it really turns out well, the Queen Mother is very willing to make the doctor a king or a marquis!

"Really?" The Queen Mother only thought Gu Jinzhi was joking, and she also smiled and said casually, "If you heal the Ai family, how about the Ai family makes you a princess?"

If it could really be cured, the Queen Mother would be very willing to make her a princess.

Besides, she felt that Gu Jinzhi could not cure her.
