In front of Emperor Liang and everyone in the palace, Zhou Chen took his pulse with extra care and attention this time.
After a long time, he let go and gently put the Queen Mother's hand back.
Emperor Liang couldn't wait to ask: "How is the health of the Empress Dowager? Can it be cured?"
In fact, he also knew the physical condition of the Empress Dowager. He might not believe what an imperial doctor said, but if all the imperial doctors said that, it would explain the problem.
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, this was also his grandmother.
Zhou Chen did not answer immediately, but had a complicated expression as he was thinking about how to answer.
Emperor Liang was so shrewd that he could see at a glance that Zhou Chen was hesitant to speak, and his face turned gloomy.
"Tell the truth and I will pardon you."
Zhou Chen then organized his speech and said: "The Queen Mother's physical condition is indeed not very good. Her illness is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is the degeneration of the normal internal organs of the body."
Emperor Liang understood Zhou Chen's meaning and asked coldly: "You mean, the Empress Dowager's death is approaching and there is no medicine or stone to cure her?"
When he said this, Zhou Chen didn't react at all, but everyone else around him turned pale with fear.
Especially Princess Weiyang, who recommended Zhou Chen, looked horrified. She recommended Zhou Chen because she wanted to repay Zhou Chen, but if she offended Emperor Liang, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
Except for Princess Weiyang, no one in the palace cared about Zhou Chen. They were just frightened by Emperor Liang's momentum.
The only person who cared about Zhou Chen the most was Meng Zhi who was waiting outside the palace. His hearing was amazing and he almost couldn't help but rush in to defend Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen's relationship with him is not as good as Xiao Shu's relationship with him, over the past six months, their relationship has also improved by leaps and bounds. It is not as good as Xiao Shu's, but it is still much better than others, so he
He is the person here who least wants anything to happen to Zhou Chen.
However, Zhou Chen didn't show any signs of panic, but responded very calmly.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's current condition is not hopeless. I can use internal strength combined with medicine to treat the Empress Dowager. However, this method cannot be maintained for a long time, and every two days, I have to personally treat the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother will treat you once."
When Emperor Liang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, which meant that there was still hope.
"How long can the Queen Mother last?"
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Please forgive the incompetence of the common people. It can only last for three months at most."
Three months is already the best he can do.
The Pure Yang Technique he practiced was extremely strong and overbearing, but it was also full of vitality and was an excellent internal breath for treating internal injuries.
He has now practiced the Pure Yang Art to a perfect level. He can use his fingers like an arm, and the therapeutic effect is even greater. With some medicine, he can temporarily help the Empress Dowager to hang on to her life.
In future generations, some people can use money to kill themselves. Although there are no medical conditions like those in later generations, pure Yang internal energy is more effective than many medical devices.
"March?"
Emperor Liang was very surprised. Before, the imperial doctors who treated the Empress Dowager said that the Empress Dowager could not survive for a few days, half a month at most. Now Zhou Chen said that she could last for three months, which was better than all the imperial doctors.
"really?"
"Your Majesty, I promise with my life that as long as there are no accidents along the way and you do as I ask, there will be no problem."
Emperor Liang immediately said: "Okay, as you said, as long as you can keep the Empress Dowager alive for another three months, I will reward you greatly."
"The common people cannot cure the Empress Dowager, so they are too ashamed to accept it."
"I am the emperor, and I keep my promise. As long as you do well, I will reward you, and you will continue."
What else could Zhou Chen say, he could only pretend to be grateful and respond: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Liang remembered Zhou Chen's words just now and asked: "You just said that you should treat the Empress Dowager every two days?"
"Yes, I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. This kind of treatment method can only be rescued based on the internal strength of the grassroots. Therefore, the treatment method is different from that of ordinary doctors. It must be done by the grassroots 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 number one father-in-law of Langya List, immediately bowed and responded: "I'm here, old slave."
"You prepare a token for him so that he can enter and leave the palace."
"Old slave, I obey."
After giving instructions to Gao Zhan, Emperor Liang asked again: "Then the treatment will start today?"
Zhou Chen said: "Your Majesty, the common people need to cooperate with medicinal materials for treatment. I'm afraid it's too late today. I can use my internal strength to help the Queen Mother stabilize her heart later. Once the medicinal materials are prepared tomorrow, we can start treatment."
Emperor Liang nodded and said: "Whatever medicinal materials you need, just ask, Gao Zhan, you arrange for someone to follow Mr. Chen, no matter what his request, we will do our best to meet it."
"Old slave, I obey." Gao Zhan was still respectful.
Zhou Chen said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's physical condition is relatively poor. When I use internal power to treat, I need to be quiet and cautious without making any mistakes, so I cannot allow too many people to be present, just in case..."
Emperor Liang had no doubts. He had never practiced kung fu, but he also knew the existence of internal power, and internal power treatment did come with certain risks.
"The Empress Dowager cannot live without someone to serve her. How about leaving two maids?"
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
After the discussion was completed, Emperor Liang stopped delaying and waved to everyone in the hall.
"It's gone, let's go. Don't come here anymore if you have nothing to do."
Emperor Liang had already spoken, and no one dared to object. Everyone left the palace obediently. Only Concubine Jing looked at Zhou Chen curiously before leaving.
After everyone left, Zhou Chen began to treat the Queen Mother. After half an hour, the Queen Mother's face looked red, and Zhou Chen stopped.
I wiped the sweat from my head and used my inner strength to help the Empress Dowager to treat her. It was even more troublesome than when treating Mei Changsu, because the Empress Dowager's body was exhausted and was much worse than Mei Changsu's body.
The Empress Dowager did not wake up, and the next matter was left to the maids in the Empress Dowager's palace, while he walked out of the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, Zhou Chen saw Gao Zhan with a kind face.
"Mr. Chen."
"Eunuch Gao."
Gao Zhan said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Chen's treatment is going very well. This is the token 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, "I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch Gao."
"They are all working for His Majesty and the Queen Mother. It is not troublesome at all. Mr. Chen, on the other hand, is really admirable for his superb medical skills."
Hearing Gao Zhan's temptation, Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Eunuch Gao is ridiculous. I only know a little bit about folk medicine and cannot be called superb medical skills. By the way, I will come to diagnose and treat the Empress Dowager tomorrow. If you need
I still need to trouble Eunuch Gao for some medicinal materials."
Gao Zhan called the little 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 away from the palace.
It is said that Zhou Chen can enter and leave the palace at will, but he will definitely not let Zhou Chen wander around at will. Someone needs to guide him in and out.
After Zhou Chen left, Gao Zhan did not leave the palace of the Empress Dowager immediately. Instead, he sent someone to call the imperial doctor and asked the doctor to check the condition of the Empress Dowager.
After confirming that the Empress Dowager had not deteriorated but had improved, she was completely relieved and went to report to Emperor Liang.
Zhou Chen left the palace and did not go home directly. Instead, he went around in a circle to make sure no one was following him before he set off for the Su Mansion.
Arriving at Mei Changsu's residence, Zhou Chen discovered that besides Mei Changsu, there was another person, who turned out to be Meng Zhi.
"Xiaochen, Brother Meng told me about my great-grandma."
As soon as Mei Changsu saw Zhou Chen, he said eagerly: "My grandma is the one who loves us the most. She is also the one who can recognize us at a glance. No matter what, you must do your best to save my grandma. Count me."
I beg you."
Zhou Chen said: "You don't need to tell me, I know what to do, but I will tell you the truth, my great-grandmother's situation is very bad, and now it has almost reached the point where the oil is exhausted. Even if I use the pure Yang internal energy to cooperate with some
The precious medicinal materials can keep my grandma alive, but it is still very difficult. It will take three months at most..."
Mei Changsu understood what Zhou Chen meant, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
His closest relatives are no longer here. Although he still has some relatives, they are either enemies or they don’t know him. His great-grandmother can be said to be his closest elder in this world.
"Even if it's only three months, Xiaochen, you have to settle for 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. While a person is alive, his body suffers."
Mei Changsu remained silent. He also understood this truth, but even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he still wanted to keep his great-grandmother alive.
"From now on, I will go to the palace every two days. Xiao Shu, if you want to see Grandma, I can find a way to do it."
Mei Changsu was interested, but after thinking for a while, he still shook his head and refused.
