Chapter 73 The Queen Mother is Seriously Ill



Eleven politely said to the doctor Liu who had just spoken, "Doctor Liu, can I borrow your prescription list?"

Doctor Liu took a look at Eleven and knew that he was Lord Duan's adopted son, so he didn't want to make things difficult for him and gave the prescription to Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu took the opportunity to take a look at the prescription and felt that there was nothing wrong with the medicinal materials. She was a little confused. With her master's ability, Prime Minister Lu's injuries would be cured in three days at most in the palace.

It's really strange that his injury is getting worse.

Just then, Doctor Yang came back.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu and Eleven appear, he said in a deep voice.

"Come with me."

Imperial Physician Yang has his own office in Imperial Physician Shu, which is very quiet and he doesn't have to worry about being disturbed.

"Master, why can't Prime Minister Lu's injuries heal? Did he do something?"

Xiao Ruyu was curious. Prime Minister Lu was a mortal and should not have such great abilities.

Doctor Yang sighed and told Xiao Ruyu, "The Prime Minister's wound was not caused by an ordinary assassination, but by a spiritual weapon, which is why it cannot heal."

Xiao Ruyu was stunned and immediately thought of Shan Wandong. It seemed to be his masterpiece. Prime Minister Lu was probably deliberately staying in the palace. He was really cunning.

[After this incident, Master, why don’t you go see the Empress Dowager first? She seems to be in poor health. ”]

As several people were talking, suddenly someone pushed the door open.

The person who came was Nanny Wei.

"The Empress Dowager is ill. Please ask Doctor Yang to accompany me to Shou'an Palace."

Nanny Wei noticed that there were two other people here and quickly bowed to Xiao Ruyu.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xiao Ruyu nestled in Eleven's arms, thinking about how to expose Prime Minister Lu's true colors and make him leave the palace.

"Okay, thank you Madam Wei for leading the way."

Doctor Yang quickly packed up his medicine box and left Doctor Shu.

Eleven followed with the little princess in his arms, and only Nanny Wei jogged after them.

Xiao Ruyu quietly gave the medicine to Doctor Yang, and then returned to the Empress Dowager in Fengyi Palace.

Shou'an Palace was surrounded by imperial doctors. Emperor Shangwen was standing by the empress dowager's bed. Looking at her haggard look, he couldn't help but frown.

"Mother, you will be fine. I will bear with you through all the storms and rains. You will be fine."

The empress dowager in the carved robe did not say anything. At this moment, Doctor Yang came over.

Before Doctor Yang could salute, Emperor Shang Wen said hurriedly, "No need to be polite. Come and treat the Queen Mother. Is there anything wrong with her?"

Doctor Yang came over to check the empress dowager's pulse. Her pulse was surprisingly steady. It didn't seem like she was asleep, but rather like she had been drugged.

Thinking of the medicine the little princess had just given him, he used his weak spiritual power to find out that it was actually a poisonous insect that was causing the problem.

"Your Highness is not frightened, but someone has put a curse on her. Who has been responsible for your food, clothing and other expenses during this period of time?"

Madam Wei quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Excellency, it is this servant."

"During this period, remember that you don't need to feed the Queen Mother. Two bowls of medicine a day is enough."

After saying this, Doctor Yang picked up his pen and began to write the prescription.

Emperor Shang Wen was a little confused, "Just take the medicine, no need to eat? What if I don't have the energy?"

"Your Majesty may not know that this Gu worm is a little special. It feeds on human body residues. The more it eats, the more Gu worms will be in its body. In the end, it will be sucked to death and become a dried-up corpse."

When Queen Duan heard these words, she was frightened out of her wits. There actually existed such a horrible poisonous insect. No wonder she felt that the Queen Mother had lost a lot of weight.

She quickly spoke up for Doctor Yang, "Your Majesty, Doctor Yang is right about this matter, why don't we follow his advice?"

Emperor Shangwen thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to this matter. After all, Doctor Yang's medical skills were beyond doubt.

"Forget it, let's follow Doctor Yang's advice. Madam Wei, take good care of the Queen Mother in the next two days. No mistakes can be made."

Nanny Wei felt that the task was arduous, but she was determined.

"Yes, I understand."

That night, Imperial Physician Yang prepared the medicine with a medicinal primer and sent it to the Empress Dowager's palace. He felt relieved only after seeing the Empress Dowager drink the medicine with her own eyes.

The news of the Empress Dowager's serious illness soon spread throughout the harem, and all the concubines in the palace went to Baohua Hall to pray for the Empress Dowager. Only Concubine Li knew the news. She ordered people to go outside the palace to invite a Taoist priest to come and exorcise the evil spirit.

There must be an evil spirit in the palace, which caused the incident. Otherwise, how could things have come to this point?

After drinking milk at noon, Xiao Ruyu asked Eleven to take her to Shangqing Palace. She wanted to try it herself to see whether Prime Minister Lu was really sick or not.

Xiao Ruyu thought that Emperor Shangwen had not returned to the palace yet, but as soon as she stepped into Shangqing Palace, she ran into Prime Minister Lu expressing his loyalty to Emperor Shangwen.

"Your Majesty, the loyalty of this humble subject is evident to all, and I dare not have second thoughts."

"My family is willing to devote ourselves to the court, but we cannot let go of our only daughter in the palace. If I die, please treat Concubine Li well for my sake."

After saying this, Prime Minister Lu burst into tears.

Xiao Ruyu was suddenly speechless. She had seen green tea girls, but had never seen old green tea girls. The problem was that they were both men.

Eleven brought Xiao Ruyu into the palace, and a palace maid reported.

"Princess Fu'an has arrived."

Xiao Ruyu directly exposed Prime Minister Lu’s conspiracy and complained speechlessly.

[This is terrible! Prime Minister Lu actually directed and acted in a play by himself, and he still wanted the emperor to believe you. Isn't this ridiculous! ]

[Don't think I don't know that the person who sent people to assassinate my father was Shan Wandong, the one behind Concubine Li. What a great Prime Minister Lu! He is really impressive! ]

When Emperor Shangwen heard Xiao Ruyu's complaints, he immediately looked at Prime Minister Lu meaningfully. His little princess was so angry that she almost burst into curses, but he believed the little princess.

[Prime Minister Lu is really smart. He actually used medicine to deliberately prevent the wound from healing so that he can continue to play the victim. I wonder if my mother can give Yu'er more sweet tofu and meat porridge after I use this trick. The baby is so greedy.]

Emperor Shangwen couldn't help laughing. The little princess was indeed likable, but she knew so much. Wasn't there any way to verify Prime Minister Lu's knowledge?

[Oh, if only Dad would let me try. With my medical skills, I can definitely break through Prime Minister Lu's trick. This old rascal only knows how to take advantage. Damn it! ]

Seeing that Emperor Shangwen did not speak, Prime Minister Lu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, are you willing to agree to my request?"

Emperor Shangwen patted the Prime Minister on the shoulder with such force that the Prime Minister almost vomited blood.

"Prime Minister, isn't that being polite? The most important thing right now is to take good care of your body. Everything else is dispensable. But your injuries haven't healed for so long. I'm afraid that Doctor Yang's medical skills are not good enough."

Prime Minister Lu was smart. He certainly knew what Emperor Shangwen meant. Perhaps he wanted him to leave the palace. His plan had not yet been accomplished. If he left so soon, it would be a waste of effort.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

[Eleven, why don't you take Prime Minister Lu's pulse for me? I'll teach you.]

When Emperor Shangwen heard the little princess' voice, his eyelids twitched. This little girl really has a lot of clever ideas.

Are you really not afraid of being punished?

Eleven took the initiative to step forward and said to Emperor Shang Wen, "After following his adoptive father, Eleven also learned medical skills from the miraculous doctors in the world for a few years. Why not let Eleven give it a try?"

Lu Chengxiang objected immediately, "I've never heard that Eleven knows any medical skills. I'm afraid it's just a cover."

Xiao Ruyu did not give Lu Cheng a chance. She stood up to pull out Eleven's dagger and wanted to cut her finger and drip the water on his wound.

Eleven was worried that Xiao Ruyu was injured, so he rushed to grab the dagger. Unexpectedly, his finger was cut, and blood dripped onto the withered jasmine bamboo, which suddenly came to life and filled the room with spring.
