Chapter 156 Do you think your head is too strong?
The little guy nervously pulled his two little hands in front of him, and his chubby cheeks were full of worry.
She pursed her lips tightly and stared at Xiao Wu with her big eyes without blinking. It was obvious that Xiao Wu was her only life-saving straw at this moment.
"Don't worry, sister." Xiao Wu was so distressed that he pulled the little girl into his arms. "Third brother promised you that he would definitely save your grandfather and your beautiful mother."
"Wuwuwu..." Little Dumpling couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears, "Third brother..."
"Be good, it's okay, it's okay!" Xiao Wu sighed softly. He had people in the palace and the Dali Temple. If he wanted to save people's lives, there should be a way, but it was also the step he least wanted to take.
The most important thing at the moment is to save the queen's life first. As long as the queen is not dead, Jiang Heci and Jiang Yinyue's lives will be half saved.
"Sister, can you go to sleep for a while?" Xiao Wu noticed when he saw Li Suining that the little girl not only had a pale face, but also had two big panda eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.
However, Xiaotuanzi immediately shook her head. How could she sleep at this time?
"Be obedient. Even if you can't sleep, just lie down." Xiao Wu looked at her seriously. "Third brother, go find a way to cure the Queen's poison now. If you don't rest well, Third brother will be worried."
"Okay, I'll be obedient and lie down." Li Suining immediately nodded in agreement.
"Be good, go!" Xiao Wu patted the little guy's body.
"Third brother," the little dumpling turned back every three steps, "thank you."
"Silly girl." Xiao Wu smiled and waved his hand. Seeing that the little girl's figure finally disappeared, he hurried to find Qingyun.
"Master!" Qingyun appeared quickly. "Any instructions?"
"The Queen's poison is related to the Northern Barbarians..." Xiao Wu tapped the back of his hand with the ink fan in his hand. The imperial city was not close to the Northern Barbarians, and it was obviously too late to find someone from the Northern Barbarians.
He suddenly remembered something, "Before, wasn't there a barefoot healer from the Northern Barbarians who joined the Feiyun Sect?"
"It seems so, but not in the imperial city. It seems to be in... Chishui. If we send someone to look for it now, it should be here in the afternoon." Qingyun immediately replied in a deep voice.
Xiao Wu nodded. "Two things. First, find that barefoot doctor. Second, have our people at the Dali Temple find a way to get the flower on the Queen's desk. Just one will do. Remember to warn them that the flower may contain poisonous powder."
This was the quickest way to get the antidote, and he could only hope he was in time.
——
In the evening, the atmosphere in the imperial palace, the entire Kunning Palace, became increasingly oppressive, and no one dared to breathe.
Emperor Yuan Tianchen and Crown Prince Yuan Huaihong were both there, as were the other concubines in the harem. The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau were kneeling in the yard, and from time to time, faint cries could be heard from the corners.
"Your Majesty," the head of the Imperial Hospital burst into tears, "I am incompetent. Please chop off my head and bury it with the Empress!"
The queen has not woken up yet, and her pulse is getting weaker and weaker. The Imperial Hospital has realized that they are powerless to save her.
"Get out of here, useless thing!" Yuan Tianchen was filled with hatred and kicked the old doctor to the ground. "The entire Imperial Hospital is useless. I have allocated so much money to it over the years, and what's the result? You can't even figure out a minor poison and can't cure it. What use do I have to you?"
"It is our fault that we are incompetent. We are willing to accept the punishment." All the imperial doctors responded in unison.
"Waste, all waste!" Yuan Tianchen was very angry.
"Father, forget it." At this time, Crown Prince Yuan Huaihong emerged from the bedroom, his face exhausted, having clearly not slept all night. "This...perhaps it's Queen Mother's fate. Queen Mother has always been kind. If she could speak at this moment, she certainly wouldn't want Father to embarrass them."
He dragged his feet forward and pulled Yuan Tianchen's hand, "Father, please go in and talk to the Queen Mother."
Yuan Tianchen, who had been suppressing his emotions, instantly turned red in the eyes and pressed his son's head against his chest. "Hong'er is right, right. Let's go in and talk to your mother."
The father and son turned around and went back into the bedroom.
The imperial doctors still didn't dare to stand up. Even though they were all quite old, they could only kneel there, waiting for the moment when the queen would die.
At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly ran up to Wen Yuanzhang and said in a low voice, "Doctor Wen, General Bai is outside. He said... he can save the Empress."
"What?" Wen Yuanzhang was startled and immediately stood up to leave.
"Wen Yuanzhang, where are you going?" The head of the courtyard saw him and immediately shouted coldly, "Who allowed you to stand up? Kneel down! Do you think your head is too strong?"
"Head, General Bai is outside. He said he has a way to save the Queen." Wen Yuanzhang said in a low voice.
"General Bai?" The head of the hospital frowned. "The entire Imperial Hospital is helpless. What can a mere warrior like him do? This is sheer nonsense!"
"..." Wen Yuanzhang said helplessly, "Headmaster, since we have no other options, no matter what General Bai has, there is always hope if we try."
The head of the academy gnashed his teeth and lowered his voice, "Wen Yuanzhang, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? Now the emperor has finally accepted that the empress cannot be saved, and you and I just escaped a disaster. Now you give the emperor hope again, but if you can't save the empress, do you... still want to live?"
Wen Yuanzhang took a step back, his attitude very firm. "Head, the Imperial Hospital is the highest medical institution in the Great Jin Dynasty. Treating illnesses and saving lives is my bounden duty. If there is hope, but I don't try, then I will be ashamed of my ancestors of the Wen family, and even more ashamed of my position as an imperial physician."
"Master, I'm sorry. If the emperor really wants to blame me, just chop off my head." He turned around and left resolutely.
"You!" The head of the Imperial Hospital was extremely angry, but under the current circumstances, he had no way to stop Wen Yuanzhang in person. He could only silently hope that Wen Yuanzhang would not anger the emperor.
He secretly swore that if he survived this disaster, he would definitely drive Wen Yuanzhang out of the Imperial Hospital in the future.
Wen Yuanzhang didn't want to care what the dean thought. His medical skills were not inferior to the dean's, but he was stubborn and rigid in his behavior, so he offended many people and did not get the position of dean.
However, he didn't care. Even if he was kicked out of the Imperial Medical Bureau, as long as he could continue to practice medicine and save lives, he would be satisfied.
He hurried to the gate of Kunning Palace and saw Bai Yunfeng and Li Suining waiting there, both of them looking anxious.
"Grandpa Wen," Xiao Suining ran over immediately upon seeing him. "Grandpa Wen, we have the antidote that can cure the Queen's poison."
"Seriously?" Wen Yuanzhang took the antidote hesitantly and subconsciously looked at Bai Yunfeng, wanting to verify whether what Xiaotuanzi said was true or not.
Bai Yunfeng pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. In fact, he knew nothing. It was just that Xiaotuanzi and Lao San found him just now and asked him to bring Xiaotuanzi to Kunning Palace, saying that there was an antidote, but he didn't know what was going on.
"Grandpa Wen, please believe me." Xiao Suining tugged at the corner of Wen Yuanzhang's clothes, "Hurry up and save the Queen, or it will be too late."
