"What?"
Liu Mingzhi exclaimed, grabbed Sai Huatuo's arms with both hands, and stared at his helpless expression with sharp eyes.
"Sai Lao, you are the world's miracle doctor who is known as the King of Hell and kills people. Is there nothing you can do?"
Under Liu Mingzhi's sharp gaze, Sai Huatuo still looked melancholy and shook his head.
"Young Master, it's not that I don't want to save the old lady, but that I am really powerless."
"Sai Lao, if you think about it carefully, even if you only have a little hope.
As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will not hesitate to pay any price."
"Master, I can certainly understand your mood.
However, the old lady's current symptoms are not illnesses, but fate.
It’s not illness but destiny. If destiny is like this, what can old age do?
No matter how brilliant your medical skills are, you are still just an ordinary person.
Since we are ordinary people, how can we do something that goes against heaven and changes our destiny?
Young Master, the nickname of the Jianghu people who sent the old King of Hell to his death is true.
It’s a pity that even if the King of Hell takes your life, you can’t really take your life from the hands of the King of Hell.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sai Huatuo's sighing expression, and his hands fell weakly from his arms.
Sai Huatuo moved his arms a few times, then reached out and patted Mr. Liu's arm.
"Master, look at it more openly."
Liu Mingzhi licked his dry lips, reached out and took off the wine bag from his waist and took a long sip.
"Chu Aiqing."
Imperial doctor Chu Renxin hurriedly walked up to Young Master Liu and bowed respectfully.
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and took another sip of wine. His dry throat felt a little better. He covered his throat with the wine bag and sighed with a heavy expression.
"What do you mean about the old man's body?"
"Your Majesty, I have the same intention as Brother Sai."
"Ginseng king, snow lotus seeds, thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, hundred-year-old polygonum multiflorum, and other precious medicinal materials are placed in front of you for your use, but you still have no idea at all?
Even if I live another year.
No, even if it takes half a year, I will be satisfied.
Isn’t it even possible for half a year?”
"Your Majesty, Brother Sai has just told you the general situation of the old lady, so I won't repeat it again.
The old minister and Brother Sai have been discussing countermeasures for the past few days, and have tried every means, but there is still no way to reverse the old lady's outcome.
The only thing that the old minister and Brother Sai can do now is to try their best to use various rare and precious medicines to keep the old lady alive.
As for how long it can last, neither Lao Chen nor Brother Sai dare to make a judgment.
All I can say is, do your best.
I hope I can survive until the day when Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness the Emperor’s Grandson arrive.”
Hearing that Chu Renxin and Sai Huatuo had similar conclusions, Liu Mingzhi felt disappointed.
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a depressed expression, and once again took off the cigarette pouch that he had just removed from his waist.
After silently taking a puff of dry cigarette, Liu Mingzhi turned his head and looked at the wooden house behind him, and withdrew his gaze with some reluctance.
"Really, is there nothing we can do?"
"Master, it's gone, it's really gone.
In this world, birth, old age, illness and death are common occurrences, and this is something that no one can change.
Master, everyone has to take this step eventually, right?
Lao Chan is a doctor, and the destiny of a doctor is to save the world and save people.
As the saying goes, saving someone's life is a great merit. If the old man could really save the old lady's life, why wouldn't he do it?
However, the old lady's fate is like this, and there is really nothing the old lady can do.
Young Master, I dare to say something unpleasant.
The old lady's time is running out, so it's time to prepare for her funeral, so let's prepare for her funeral."
Chu Renxin also nodded in agreement and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, when the manpower is exhausted, the old minister will be at his wits' end!"
Liu Mingzhi took a long puff of dry smoke, leaned over and knocked out the unburned tobacco from the pot on the rocks at his feet.
"Sai Lao, Chu Aiqing."
"Master?"
"His Majesty?"
"When you two meet the old man later, try not to mention the old man's physical problems.
Instead of mentioning it, try to give the elderly hope.
You two should know how to say it specifically, but I won’t explain it one by one, young master."
"Yes, don't worry, young master, I have something in my heart."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, rolled up the dry pipe in his hand and walked towards the bamboo house first.
"Mom, my son-in-law is back."
"Child, sit down quickly."
"Lian'er."
"Mom, tell me."
"Silly boy, you must have eaten in the open and slept in the open air on the way from the capital to Miao territory. You must have missed three meals a day.
You silly girl, haven't you seen that Mingzhi's lips are dry? Why don't you hurry up and pour a cup of tea for your husband, and then prepare some food to wash away the dust for him."
"Hey, Lian'er will go right now, Lian'er will go right now."
Qinglian raised her hand to wipe her reddish eyes, and walked lightly towards the main hall of the bamboo house.
After Qinglian left, the old man looked at Sai Huatuo and Chu Renxin standing next to Liu Mingzhi with a guilty expression.
"Brother Sai and Brother Chu, you two have worked really hard for me to have this old bone."
"Hey, big sister, you are making a big deal out of it when you say this.
As doctors, we brothers, it is our duty as doctors to help the world and save people. There is no such thing as hard work.
"Old madam, Brother Sai is right, this is our duty as doctors.
After drinking the decoction in the morning, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort? "
"Much better, much better. After taking the medicine prescribed by you two brothers, I feel that my energy is much stronger than yesterday."
Saihua Tuo chuckled and nodded, stroking his gray beard and walking towards the head of the bed.
"It's better, sister. I'll take your pulse again."
"Okay, then I'll do my best to challenge you, brother."
When Liu Mingzhi heard the words between Sai Huatuo and Sai Huatuo, he quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
"Sai Lao, sit down."
"Okay, I won't be polite to the young master anymore."
Saihua Tuo nodded slightly, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and put his fingers on Grandma Qinglian's thin wrist.
