Lin Xuan looked at Li Shimin. Sun Simiao had already said this. The rest depends on Li Shimin's decision.
Li Shimin's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Although Sun Simiao said it was not harmful, Empress Changsun is very weak now. Who knows what will happen after using it?
"Doctor Sun, tell me the truth, if this continues, how long can the Queen live?"
Sun Simiao was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, every time the Queen's Qi disease attacks, it will cause damage to the lungs. Although the medicine has alleviated the pain, it is not immediate. Even with the medicine, the Queen will not survive at most.
Four years.”
Li Shimin's face turned pale, he pondered for a long time, sighed, and said, "Come with me to see the Queen."
In Lin Xuan's impression, Empress Changsun always had a gentle smile on her face and looked dignified and generous.
However, at this time, Queen Changsun's face was as pale as paper and she looked very weak.
"Cough cough cough~"
Not sure whether it was the sound of their footsteps that woke up Empress Changsun, or whether it was due to physical reasons, Empress Changsun coughed and opened her eyes.
"Guanyin Maid, how are you?" Li Shimin's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is fine." Empress Changsun's voice was so soft that if the three of them hadn't practiced martial arts and had sharp ears and eyes, none of them would have been able to hear her.
Li Shimin turned around, looked at Sun Simiao and asked, "Daozhang Sun, didn't you say that the Queen will feel better after taking the medicine?"
Sun Simiao said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min just said that it has been relieved. Cao Min has said before that it is impossible to see immediate results. According to the prescription prescribed by Cao Min, if you take it for five or six days, you should be able to return to normal."
"Your Majesty, don't blame Doctor Sun, I do feel much better than before." Queen Changsun said.
Empress Changsun was now completely awake, and her voice was much louder than before.
"The Queen." Lin Xuan's eyes were slightly red.
Empress Changsun is worthy of being a virtuous empress. Even at this time, she still did not forget to persuade Li Shimin.
Only then did Empress Changsun see Lin Xuan. She tried her best to smile and said, "Zichu, you came at the right time. I have a few words to say to you."
"If you have anything to say, your Majesty, just say it directly." Lin Xuan said quickly.
"You must treat your beauty well, take care of His Majesty's worries, and don't make His Majesty angry." Empress Changsun said.
Empress Changsun's tone was exactly like explaining the funeral arrangements.
Although Lin Xuan knew that Empress Changsun would not die in the short term, she still shed tears.
This smart and gentle woman did not have any fear when she thought she was about to reach the end of her life. Instead, she was very calm. All she could think about was her husband and children.
When Li Shimin saw this scene, his expression changed.
Lin Xuan opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
"Guanyin Maid, you will be fine. Lin Xuan just presented a magical medicine." Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Quickly take out the medicine and give it to the Queen."
Although Li Shimin did not understand medical skills, he also knew that Empress Changsun's illness continued to drag on, and by the time she was terminally ill, even if the medicine was effective, it would be too late.
Lin Xuan took out the medicine and said: "Your Majesty, just press this small hole into the queen's mouth twice. Don't press it more."
Although Li Shimin had already made up his mind, he still hesitated when he took the medicine.
Empress Changsun is so smart. From Li Shimin's face, it can be seen that the matter is not that simple, otherwise Li Shimin would not be so hesitant.
"Your Majesty, please give it to my concubine." Queen Changsun said.
Li Shimin held the bottle, frowning deeply, still very hesitant.
Empress Changsun said firmly: "Your Majesty, please give it to me. If my concubine's fate is not good, don't blame Lin Xuan."
Li Shimin stared at Empress Changsun, saw the firmness in Empress Changsun's eyes, and finally nodded.
He has been married to Empress Changsun for so many years, and he knows Empress Changsun's temperament very well. Once something is decided, it is difficult to change it.
Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was worried about failure and wanted Empress Changsun to hide with Li Chengqian and others. Empress Changsun refused directly and told him: "Husband and wife are one body, no matter you succeed or fail, I will be here waiting for you."
Empress Changsun's eyes at that time were as firm as they are now.
Li Shimin brought the bottle to Queen Changsun's mouth, and Queen Changsun opened her mouth in response.
Li Shimin pressed it twice as Lin Xuan said, and then looked at Empress Changsun nervously.
Empress Changsun pursed her lips. She didn't like the taste of the medicine and frowned slightly.
Li Shimin quickly asked nervously: "Guanyin Maid, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Li Shimin's concerned eyes, Empress Changsun smiled and said, "I don't like the taste of this medicine."
Li Shimin took a breath and said, "Excuse me, Dr. Sun, to take the Queen's pulse."
After Sun Simiao stepped forward to check her pulse, he said calmly: "The Queen's pulse has not changed. Maybe the medicine has not taken effect yet."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and was speechless. Do you think this is a magic medicine or an elixir?
It's not that fast.
When Li Shimin heard this, he was a little disappointed, but also a little happy.
Disappointed that Queen Changsun did not get better, but fortunately nothing happened.
Even so, Li Shimin had no intention of letting Lin Xuan and Sun Simiao withdraw. After all, the time was still short. Who knew if there would be any problems later?
As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing, which made Lin Xuan very uncomfortable.
Li Shimin stood up irritably and walked around the bed.
Queen Changsun fell asleep unconsciously.
However, Sun Simiao noticed something was wrong, and Queen Changsun's breathing seemed to calm down.
Empress Changsun had some shortness of breath before, but now it's completely gone.
He knew the efficacy of the medicine he prescribed and did not think it was due to the effectiveness of his previous medicine. The only explanation was that Lin Xuan's medicine was effective.
"Your Majesty, the medicine seems to be working. The common people need to check the Queen's pulse again." Sun Simiao said.
Hearing this, Li Shimin quickly moved away from his position and watched Sun Simiao take the pulse of Queen Changsun. A star jumped.
There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, and he was very excited.
When he launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, he was not as nervous as he is now.
When Sun Simiao raised his hand, Li Shimin quickly asked: "Doctor Sun, how are you doing?"
Sun Simiao said: "This medicine is effective and the Queen's condition has stabilized."
"Great, the queen's illness is cured." Li Shimin said excitedly.
Sun Simiao slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. The Queen's condition is just stable, not that the Queen's Qi disease has been cured."
Li Shimin was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
"When the Queen's qi disease does not occur, she is no different from ordinary people. This medicine only alleviated the Queen's qi disease, but did not cure the qi disease." Sun Simiao said.
"Does that mean this medicine has no effect at all?" Li Shimin said with an ugly face.
Sun Simiao's previous prescription could relieve the pain, but this medicine could only relieve the pain. In Li Shimin's opinion, what else could it mean if it didn't have any effect at all?
Sun Simiao shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty, this medicine is very effective. The longer the Qi attack lasts, the greater the harm to the Queen. And this medicine can somewhat curb the Queen's Qi attack. As long as this medicine is available
Now, as well as paying attention to rest and recuperation, not to mention longevity, there is absolutely no problem in living for a few more decades."
