Chapter 120 Healing
A few days after this incident, everyone thought that life was peaceful.
Gu Leyou stays in the cabin every day. Apart from studying how to treat children's diseases, he reads medical books. It is really boring.
That day the girl came again.
When she saw the girl, she looked very nervous.
So she asked patiently: "Girl, I guess you didn't come to ask me about that today. What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Do you need me to see you?"
This time the girl said humbly: "It's not me, it's my master. Don't you know medicine? Can you go to the capital with me?"
Gu Leyou, however, took his time and kept the suspense.
She said, "Your master lives in the palace, and there are many famous doctors in the palace, and there are so many imperial physicians. Can't you even cure the emperor's minor illness? What do you want a common doctor like me to do? Besides, I'm not sure if you are deceiving me. What if you are deceiving me to enter the palace? I've been deceived once, and I won't be fooled again."
The girl was speechless after hearing this.
She hurriedly explained, "Miss, this is a matter of life and death. Do we really need to joke with you about the life of our organization? Our master is really sick, and very seriously ill. I hope you can show mercy and save his life."
Gu Leyou felt a little bit reluctant seeing how sincere the girl was.
However, it seems unlikely to save the current emperor. Wouldn't it be retribution for someone with such great ambitions?
Forget it, she couldn't bear it, so she decided to go with him. This place was not far from the capital, and he should be able to save him.
His Majesty is really ill.
They had heard that Gu Leyou was an excellent doctor, so they tried every means to find her and wanted her to treat them.
Although the imperial physician in the palace has been practicing medicine for decades, he has no way to cure your Majesty's illness.
Along the way, the girl talked about the current emperor's illness.
But the story begins two days ago.
Two years ago, during the morning court session, His Majesty fainted on the way back to the palace. The chief eunuch hurriedly sent him back to the palace.
They summoned the imperial physician.
The imperial physician examined His Majesty for a long time but could not figure out what was wrong with him. However, His Majesty remained in a coma and two days had passed without any improvement. This made the Empress very anxious.
The Empress had no choice but to post an imperial edict, asking a capable doctor to treat the Emperor.
As a result, two days passed and there was still no improvement.
At this time, His Majesty's subordinates thought of Gu Leyou, so he told the Queen Mother about it. The Queen Mother instantly saw hope and immediately asked someone to find this young lady to treat her husband.
No matter how much grudge they have, the Queen Mother understands the principle that saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so she must find this young lady no matter what.
After walking for about two days, they arrived at the palace.
After arriving at the current emperor's bedroom, Gu Leyou took his emperor's pulse. Several imperial doctors were also present.
After showing it to His Majesty, Gu Leyou replied to the Queen like this.
"Empress, has His Majesty been to any place he shouldn't have been these past few days?"
"What do you mean by this? Tell me the truth and I will forgive you."
"Then I'll be frank with you, young lady. Your Majesty must have gone to a place he shouldn't have been and bumped into something, which caused him to fall into a coma. As for when Your Majesty will wake up, that depends on God's will."
"You mean you can't treat it either? Then who can treat your majesty's illness? Tell me and I'll send someone to find him." "Then the queen can find someone who is good at metaphysics to break the evil spell on your majesty. Your majesty has been bewitched by evil and has too much resentment."
It's all over now. When the Queen heard this, she was shocked.
How could he be bewitched out of nowhere?
She hadn't heard recently that her husband had gone to any place in the palace that he shouldn't have gone to. Could it be that he went to a place he shouldn't have gone to while hunting in the enclosure?
At this time, it seemed that the eunuch remembered something, and he immediately knelt down and answered the Queen's doubts.
"To reply to the Queen, your Majesty went to the cold palace to see Concubine Yun during the summer court two days ago. After I came back, I felt a little unwell. I thought your Majesty had caught a cold and asked the imperial physician to see him. It seems that things are not as simple as I thought before."
"What can we do? There is a minister in the court who is very good at metaphysics, but he fell ill some time ago and has asked to return to his hometown to recuperate. Your Majesty thought that everyone was doing well, so he did not arrange for a new person to take his place."
"So what's the matter with this noble lady Yun?" Gu Leyou asked.
Speaking of this noble lady Yun, the Empress was so angry that her teeth were itching.
So when someone mentioned this person again, the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of some things about him.
This little girl was originally a maid. I don't know what means she used to serve His Majesty once, but she became Concubine Yun.
However, this matter is not that simple.
"This noble lady Yun seemed to be obedient on the surface, but she was actually evil-minded. She actually used witchcraft in the palace to win favor. As a result, one day, His Majesty found out and banished her to the cold palace."
Gu Leyou still didn't dare to conclude whether His Majesty's illness was related to witchcraft, but one thing he could conclude was, "To answer the Queen, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. This matter has a lot to do with Concubine Yun. It is estimated that Your Majesty banished her to the cold palace, and she holds a grudge because of this. Therefore, she is very resentful. In addition, there are many concubines imprisoned in the cold palace. If each person has a little resentment, it adds up to a lot of resentment."
"Didn't you all hear it? Why don't you go and find that bitch for me? What this young lady said makes sense. Only by finding that bitch can we cure your majesty's illness."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Soon, Yun Guiren was found.
However, it seems that Yun Guiren's nerves are a little abnormal. It is almost impossible to ask an abnormal person to cure Your Majesty's illness.
Gu Leyou walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear, and she instantly woke up.
When she realized where she was, she immediately knelt down.
Very good, Your Majesty, now is the time to ask questions.
"Lady Yun, I want to ask you what kind of poison you put on the emperor. Why hasn't his majesty woken up yet? Why did you do this? I know that his majesty went to the cold palace to see you. Don't deny it."
"Queen, please stop slandering me. Which eye of yours saw me poison His Majesty? His Majesty is in poor health and has gone to the cold palace. Who do you blame? As for when His Majesty will get better, it all depends on his willpower."
What Concubine Yun said made sense, so everyone quickly suspected her. It was obvious that she was the one who did it.
It seems that she, as a doctor, no longer needs help in this matter.
This is their royal family's own family affair. After all, I am an outsider and it is not good to interfere.
"Mrs. Yun, you are really very brave. Witchcraft has always been prohibited. You actually practiced witchcraft in the palace and tried to kill His Majesty."
Concubine Yun explained, "Empress, please stop talking nonsense. I never used witchcraft on Your Majesty. It was Your Majesty who stepped into the cold palace. The cold palace is full of resentment, and everyone in the palace knows it. Who can Your Majesty blame for your bad luck?"
Gu Leyou interrupted at this time, "It's true that you have bad luck. You will understand if you listen to my story."
Everyone nodded.
Gu Leyou said slowly.
"In our dynasty, there was the Imperial Examination. During the Imperial Examination that year, there was a candidate from our neighboring village named Song Quan. He carried his bag and the dream of studying hard for many years, and set out on the road to Beijing to take the examination.
He slept in the open air and lived frugally along the way, hoping to show his talent in the exam and change his family's destiny.
After finally arriving in the capital, Song An found a cheap inn to stay. He originally wanted to have a good rest for the night and recharge his energy for the exam, but the inn suddenly caught fire at night. In the panic, he only grabbed his clothes, while those precious books and exam preparation materials were all devoured by the fire. Song An looked at the blazing fire, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears. This undoubtedly destroyed his hope.
In desperation, he could only borrow books from other candidates and study hard day and night. On the day of the exam, he arrived at the examination room early, but was stopped by the invigilator when he entered the examination room. It turned out that he took the wrong pen and ink in a panic, and the pen he brought did not meet the examination regulations. Song An begged desperately, but the invigilator was ruthless and refused to make any concessions. By the time he finally borrowed a pen and entered the examination room, he had already wasted a lot of time.
During the exam, Song An was already uneasy because of the previous accidents, and suddenly he felt an unbearable abdominal pain. He endured the discomfort and answered the questions, but his train of thought was repeatedly interrupted. In the end, he failed to complete the answer sheet on time. The moment he walked out of the examination room, Song An sighed to the sky, feeling that his luck was really bad and all his years of hard work were ruined. ”
"If you can tell us this, then what should we do next? Do you have any good ideas?"
"There is a saying among the people. I don't know if the prevention and control forces are willing to hear the details. If you want to know, I will tell you."
"Hurry up and speak. Don't waste time. His Majesty can't wait for you to dillydally." The Queen urged.
Gu Leyou had no choice but to tell them everything he knew.
"The Queen is your Majesty's first wife, so please go to the nearest temple early tomorrow morning and kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to pray for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas. Only in this way can the gods see the Queen's sincerity, and perhaps this will make your Majesty wake up."
The Queen has always believed in gods and Buddhas and heard someone say that. That's what they said, and His Majesty can wake up, but he still doesn't believe it a little bit. After all, His Majesty and the others said that he was possessed by evil spirits. If he was possessed by evil spirits, it would be hard to believe that it could be solved so easily.
At this time, the chief eunuch knelt down to remind the queen.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"As of today, if you have anything to say, please speak up."
"Your Majesty, you just need to learn from this. You can't just assume that the basement is haunted by evil spirits based on this young lady's one-sided support. Besides, Your Majesty is the last person who believes in ghosts and gods. If you disturb their roots, even if Your Majesty is well, he will vent his anger on Your Majesty."
When the Queen heard the words of the chief eunuch, her expression froze and she became even more hesitant. She paced back and forth, her brows furrowed, and her face, which was originally full of hope, was now covered with a layer of gloom.
"What you said does make sense, but in the current situation, what better solution can we have? The imperial doctors are helpless. Are we just going to watch His Majesty remain unconscious?" The Queen's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Seeing this, Gu Leyou frowned slightly, stepped forward and said, "Empress, what the chief steward said makes sense, but His Majesty's condition cannot be delayed.
Although folk methods cannot be guaranteed to be 100% effective, they are still a way out.
If you give it a try, maybe there will be a turning point. Besides, going to the temple to pray is just an expression of sincerity and will not cause any harm to Your Majesty. ”
Yun Guiren watched everyone arguing from the side, with a barely perceptible sneer on his face.
She said softly, "Empress, I have said long ago that His Majesty's illness has nothing to do with me. Instead of arguing about this, you should spend more time on His Majesty."
The Empress glared at Yun Guiren fiercely and said, "Stop pretending to be innocent! His Majesty is in a coma, and you are responsible! If you hadn't harbored resentment in the cold palace, how could His Majesty be possessed for no reason?"
Yun Guiren immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "My Queen, I am innocent! I have been repenting every day in the cold palace, how could I do anything to harm Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not do anything to him!"
Gu Leyou looked at Yun Guiren and felt a little confused. She always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Yun Guiren was too calm and seemed to have been prepared.
"Empress, I don't want to get involved in this court dispute, but His Majesty is in imminent danger. Perhaps the folk solution is not credible, but at this critical moment we can only try it out. As for other unimportant people, if the Empress is worried, you can detain them first and make a decision after His Majesty wakes up."
The Empress thought what he said made sense, and immediately ordered the guards to arrest Concubine Yun and take her to the Dali Temple for trial.
"My dear, no matter whether His Majesty will blame me or not, I will give it a try. Please tell me the specific method."
"You need to go to the nearest temple and wear funeral clothes. You cannot wear any jewelry. You need to go alone. But you must be careful on the way. After all, you are the mother of the country. If you are in any danger, even if His Majesty wakes up, he will kill me."
The Queen and His Majesty have a deep affection for each other, and she will save her husband no matter what.
No matter what the final result is.
