Chapter 199 There is a problem with the prescription
Zhu Chong's words gave Zhu Di infinite hope. He suddenly remembered that when Zhu Xiongying and Empress Ma were suspected of being infected with smallpox, they were saved by Zhu Chong.
Now that he volunteered, he must have seen something, so Old Zhu hurried forward and grabbed Zhu Chong's hand.
"Second brother, do you have any idea? Save your mother!"
Feeling the power coming from Old Zhu's hand, Zhu Chong smiled faintly, "Father, I know how to handle the Queen Mother's illness, but please, Father, drive everyone here out first, especially those in Kunning Palace. It would be best to keep them all under guard."
Hearing Zhu Chong's words, Old Zhu was startled. He had been worried about Queen Ma's illness and hadn't thought about anything else. Now that Zhu Chong reminded him, he suddenly reacted.
"Come here, Mao Xiang, summon the Imperial Guards immediately and arrest everyone in Kunning Palace. No, lock them all up in the Sky Prison!"
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order, there were cries of injustice in Kunning Palace. However, the fierce and ferocious Jinyiwei would never listen to their cries of injustice. They directly threw all of them into the Sky Prison to await their fate.
After dealing with the people in Kunning Palace, Old Zhu, Zhu Biao and others looked at Zhu Chong with hopeful eyes, but they did not expect that Zhu Chong looked at them with strange eyes.
"Do you want us to go out too?" Old Zhu reacted immediately, but when he saw Zhu Chong rolling his eyes, he couldn't help but want to lose his temper. However, when he saw Empress Ma lying on the bed, who was no longer in human form, he gritted his teeth, dragged the prince out of Kunning Palace.
Seeing that the gate of Kunning Palace behind him was closed, and only himself and Queen Ma were left in the huge palace, Zhu Chong came to Queen Ma's bed, confirmed that Queen Ma was asleep, and began to exchange items from the system mall.
He hadn't exchanged items from the system for a long time, mainly because he had no use for them, and also to save up more points so that he could exchange them for good stuff after leaving Yingtian Prefecture.
But the current situation does not allow Zhu Chong to continue accumulating points. As long as Empress Ma can be brought back to life, Zhu Chong is willing to pay all his points now!
Zhu Chong first exchanged for a disposable diagnostic device in order to find out the condition of Empress Ma's body and whether it was what he thought.
After use, the disposable diagnostic device was recycled by the system, and Zhu Chong spent one million points to exchange it for an antidote pill.
The system detoxification pills can truly cure all diseases, otherwise they would not be sold so expensively. Zhu Chong stuffed the pills into Queen Ma's mouth, waited for a moment, and when he saw Queen Ma move, he called someone in.
Old Zhu and Zhu Biao were the first to rush into the palace, followed closely by Mao Xiang and several palace maids and nannies trusted by Old Zhu.
When everyone saw Queen Ma lying on the sickbed with a confused look on her face and her eyes wide open, looking around, almost all of them cried with joy!
"Your Majesty, the Queen is awake, the Queen is awake..." A female official stepped forward in disbelief and shouted loudly after confirming.
At this time, Queen Ma, who was lying on the sickbed, looked gloomy and seemed to be dying before she fell into a coma.
Although he still looks pale and weak now, at least his complexion has become rosy, and he can be helped to sit up by the female official, and his eyes have become brighter.
In such a short time, everyone thought the queen was beyond saving, but after Zhu Chong's trick, she came back to life. Old Zhu was really in tears and stepped forward to hug Queen Ma into his arms, "Xiuying, you are really okay!"
Empress Ma had not yet reacted at this time. She just felt weak and had no memory of what had happened before. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited and even called out her maiden name in front of so many people, she was immediately embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? The children are still watching!"
Hearing that Empress Ma could speak, Old Zhu laughed happily, "Whoever dares to laugh, I will peel off his skin, hahahaha..."
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang reacted and immediately ordered Mao Xiang to bring a trusted imperial physician to check Empress Ma's pulse.
Not long after, Mao Xiang hurried over with an imperial physician. During this period, Empress Ma finally learned what had happened after she fell into a coma. When she knew that she was rescued by Zhu Chong, she could not help but look at her son in surprise.
After the imperial physician finished examining Empress Ma's pulse, he knelt down respectfully before Old Zhu and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress is no longer seriously injured. She only needs careful nursing care and she will be back to normal!"
"Okay, okay!" Old Zhu laughed even louder after hearing what the imperial physician said, and then patted Zhu Chong's shoulder vigorously, "Second brother, thanks to you! Hahahaha..."
Seeing Old Zhu happy, Zhu Chong glanced around calmly and asked softly, "Father, the Queen Mother has been in the palace recently. Has she used any prescriptions to regulate her body? Could you show them to me?"
Old Zhu was originally very happy, but when he suddenly heard Zhu Chong mention this, his eyebrows raised heavily, he looked at Zhu Chong deeply, then he understood something, and instructed Mao Xiang beside him.
Not long after, Mao Xiang personally came to Zhu Chong holding a brocade box in his hands and respectfully presented it to him.
In front of Old Zhu, Zhu Chong opened the brocade box, which contained a prescription.
In front of everyone, Zhu Chong read the prescription quickly at a glance, and then asked the imperial physician who was kneeling beside him.
"Is the prescription in the brocade box from your Imperial Hospital?"
As soon as Zhu Chong finished asking, Mao Xiang placed the brocade box in front of the imperial physician. The imperial physician took the prescription from it, examined it carefully, and nodded slowly, saying, "Your Highness, this prescription was indeed prescribed by our Imperial Hospital. Is there any problem?"
"What does the prescription treat? Tell me about it." Zhu Chong asked in a light tone.
"This is used to relieve the Empress's heart palpitations. I wonder why Your Highness the Prince of Qin asks this?"
"Imperial Physician, the prescription contains ginseng and astragalus. Can you explain to me why the dosage is so large?"
The imperial physician was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he quickly explained, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, this prescription was not written by me. The person who wrote it is obviously unskilled in medicine. I truly have no idea what happened!"
"Second brother, what are you talking about?" At this time, Old Zhu heard that there was something wrong with Zhu Chong's question to the imperial physician, and immediately interrupted.
"Your Majesty," Zhu Chong said bluntly, "The Queen Mother's heart palpitations aren't actually a serious illness. She only needs to rest and recover daily, and even without medication, her condition will stabilize. It's unlikely to suddenly worsen."
"Medical texts say that those with heart palpitations should avoid excessive Qi supplementation. The ginseng and astragalus in this prescription are both top-grade Qi supplements, and the dosage is so large. I suspect that the Queen Mother's sudden illness is due to the ulterior motives of the person who wrote the prescription!"
"What?" Old Zhu's voice suddenly rose. In the hall, a large group of people knelt down in an instant. Even Queen Ma, who was lying on the sickbed, looked shocked.
