Chapter 36: Empress Xu is critically ill
Just when Zhu Gaochi was about to send someone to fetch a bowl of rice, and he would be eating here today while waiting for Wang Siqi, suddenly a "man" dressed as an eunuch came hurriedly from outside the gate of the construction site. After seeing Zhu Gaochi, he was even more confused.
It's to speed up.
After getting closer, he quickly dismissed the other East Palace guards and eunuchs with his eyes.
He whispered something into Zhu Gaochi's ear.
Zhu Gaochi's expression suddenly changed, and he asked anxiously: "Seriously?"
"nature..."
After hearing this answer, Zhu Gaochi almost swayed and lost his balance, and said with a pale face: "Quick, go back first."
The group of people left quickly.
Feng Zongwu from a distance breathed a deep sigh of relief when he saw this scene. If others couldn't recognize him, how could he not recognize the Crown Prince?
But he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see Wang Siqi.
...
In the palace.
Empress Xu looked at the people beside her and said with a forced smile: "Why did your Majesty come to see it in person? It's nothing serious. Maybe it will be fine in a few days."
It was better not to say this. After saying it, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
He quickly supported Empress Xu with his hands, gently stroked Empress Xu's hair with his rough palms, and said with some sadness: "After such a long time, the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors are of no use at all."
After Empress Xu fell ill, Zhu Di would often sit in Empress Xu's palace for the whole day.
"Your Majesty, you have taken the trouble. The medicine is still good. I feel much better..."
"Where has it gotten better? Where has it gotten better... It's been two years, two whole years, and it's clear that it hasn't gotten any better."
"Ahem..."
Empress Xu coughed again, and Zhu Di could clearly see that there were bright blood streaks on the handkerchief, which seemed to be getting more serious.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Di's heart was as sharp as a knife.
Zhu Di, who was walking heavily, finally left the palace. Nowadays, the court has many affairs and he is no longer allowed to accompany Empress Xu as often as before.
I can only come and visit as often as possible.
However, the appearance of Empress Xu coughing up blood still made Zhu Di very angry. He took out more than a dozen imperial doctors from the imperial hospital and threw them all into prison.
As for when to release her, it depends on when Queen Xu's illness will really get better.
Of course, it can also be said that they have entered the countdown to life.
Outside the palace.
Zhu Di couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the sun in the sky. Recalling the man who had been with him through life and death, an inexplicable feeling of loneliness came to his heart.
In the distance, Zhu Gaochi, who was hurriedly coming, stopped.
Just watching, not daring to step forward.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi coming, Zhu Di immediately called him over.
"Come here, I'll go in and see your mother later."
"My son understands."
Then Zhu Di couldn't help but ask the eunuch beside him: "How much food can the queen eat in a day recently?"
"Back to the Emperor... not much..."
Zhu Di took a deep breath.
"sleeping?"
"It's not very good either. Sometimes I cough violently, and it takes me a long while before I can take a nap."
Waving his sleeves, Zhu Di said nothing.
...
After watching Queen Xu, Zhu Gaochi looked very ugly, and the Queen's health was almost deteriorating.
Over the years, Zhu Di searched for and tried almost all the famous doctors and medicines he could find, but there was still no improvement.
Zhu Gaochi, with red eyes, stood outside the palace for a while.
He called the East Palace guards on the side to give some money to the eunuchs standing by, and then said: "The Queen still needs your careful care, and this is a reward for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
It paused like this for a while.
Zhu Gaochi left Queen Xu's palace with three turns.
After leaving.
Zhu Gaochi, who was feeling a little depressed, arrived at the East Palace and said to the East Palace guards on the side: "Send someone to find Wang Siqi."
Zhu Gaochi is kind.
Even though he was filled with grief and sorrow, when he spoke to his subordinates, his tone was filled with sadness but not unreasonable anger.
His subordinates quickly clasped their fists.
"Yes! His Royal Highness, I will look for you soon."
....
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see me?"
"Yes! Mr. Wang, His Highness the Crown Prince specifically asked me to come and invite you."
just returned home.
Wang Siqi met the guards of the East Palace who came to see him. Although Wang Siqi was a little surprised when he heard that it was Prince Zhu Gaochi who invited him, he still didn't think too much.
After changing my clothes, I got on the carriage and headed to the East Palace.
Just arrived.
Wang Siqi saw Zhu Gaochi who looked gloomy and gloomy from a distance. Wang Siqi couldn't help but curiously asked the East Palace guard on the side: "What's going on, Your Highness?"
"Sir, I don't know about this."
"You are the personal bodyguards of His Highness the Crown Prince. You don't even know this?"
"My lord, I can only tell you this. His Royal Highness has been like this since he came back from the Queen's palace today."
Hear what the guard said.
Wang Siqi nodded thoughtfully, counting the time, and found that it was indeed not that long before Queen Xu died of illness as recorded in history.
Probably this is the reason.
Lift your feet and get closer.
Zhu Gaochi was not as excited as before when he saw Wang Siqi. He just said feebly: "Master Wang is here."
"Your Highness, I don't know why you invited me here today."
Even though he already knew what was going on, Wang Siqi still pretended to ask.
Hear this.
Zhu Gaochi looked up at Wang Siqi with red eyes.
There was a pause for a long while.
Finally, after taking a deep breath, he slowly said: "Today, I went to the Queen's Palace, and the situation was not very good..."
Wang Siqi said nothing.
I just kept recalling in my mind the specific details of Queen Xu's illness and what methods could be used to help.
Don't count on penicillin.
In this day and age, there is actually no way to prepare that thing, but the procedure is cumbersome. If you remember something wrong, don't send it away to Queen Xu in advance.
Just when my mind is searching for memories.
Wang Siqi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
I thought of an artifact.
Penicillin is cumbersome to prepare, but there is another product that has similar effects to penicillin, but it is much simpler to prepare.
Think of this.
Wang Siqi immediately said: "Your Highness, I don't know what kind of disease the queen is suffering from. I also know a little bit about medical skills, maybe I can help."
Say it with this sentence.
The air seemed to be quiet for a while, and Zhu Gaochi's eyes were red, staring at Wang Siqi.
It seems that he wants to see from Wang Siqi what makes him better than the imperial doctors of Ming Dynasty.
But the result was that he was disappointed.
No...
