Why did the Queen Mother suddenly fall ill again?

Yan Shu and Yu Wenlan were surprised and immediately went to Ci'an Palace to visit her .

When they arrived, they saw that the Queen Mother had already laid on the bed, her eyes were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and she looked very painful. Beside the bed, Zhang Shengkang was checking the pulse of the Queen Mother. When he saw the two of them coming, he immediately bowed like the others. Seeing this, they were both shocked. Zhang Shengkang had bad intentions, and Yan Shu and Yu Wenlan knew it very well, but the Queen Mother trusted him very much. Whenever she felt uncomfortable, she would summon him to check her pulse immediately. Of course, this person is not the focus at the moment. Yuwen Lan first ordered everyone to stand up, and then hurriedly asked, "How is the Queen Mother?" But Zhang Shengkang said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is still suffering from her old headache this time." Yan Shu was a little suspicious when she heard this, and said, "When I came this morning, the Queen Mother was fine. How come she suddenly suffered from her old illness now?" As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Shengkang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi, you don't know that the Queen Mother's illness is very susceptible to the weather outside. In the past, the Queen Mother often suffered from the cold in autumn and winter, and was infected with wind. I heard that the Queen Mother went out to climb a mountain yesterday, so it is very likely that she was affected by the cool wind on the mountain and her old illness was triggered again." Yan Shu heard this, still with a look of doubt on her face. Is it true? It wasn't cold at all yesterday. The Dangui Mountain is not high, and the wind wasn't strong. Besides, the Queen Mother wore a veil all the way after getting off the carriage, so there shouldn't be any wind. Could it be that Zhang Shengkang poisoned the Queen Mother? But just as I was thinking this, I heard Zhang Shengkang sneer in his heart, "What, do you think I would poison the Queen Mother? Ha, would I be that stupid? 】 Yan Shu, "..." Well, it seems that this guy is not fooling around? On the side, Yu Wenlan listened silently and frowned secretly. ——Since he knew that Zhang Shengkang was a bad person, he had suspected whether the Queen Mother's old illness was related to this person, but after eavesdropping on this person's thoughts several times, he did not find any traces of this person doing anything to the Queen Mother. So, it seems that the Queen Mother's old illness is indeed not related to him. At this time, after hearing what this person said, he had no choice but to say to the Queen Mother, "How do you feel now, Mother? I was too careless yesterday, causing you to suffer this punishment." After she finished speaking, Yan Shu also said with a guilty look, "It was I who came up with the idea. It's my fault." After hearing what the two said, the Queen Mother finally closed her eyes reluctantly and sighed, "Don't blame you, it's because I'm too disappointing, don't blame yourself." After saying that, she frowned and closed her eyes, looking very painful. Just looking at the two people made her heart tense again. Yan Shu hurriedly asked Zhang Shengkang, "What should we do now? How can we make the Empress recover quickly?" But Zhang Shengkang said, "Report to Concubine Yi, the Empress Dowager should take medicine and rest. She must stay in her room for the next few days and must not catch a cold." As if he was afraid that she would not believe him, he hurriedly explained, "Headache is a very stubborn disease. For so many years, the Empress Dowager has always had an old disease, and this treatment has been used every time, and it cannot be cured." Yan Shu had no choice but to nod. Alas, that's true. In less than a year, she has seen the Empress Dowager have an attack three times. It seems that it is indeed difficult to cure. But this is her dear big boss! Such a perfect boss, but now he is in such a bad state, she felt so bad in her heart... But at this moment, she heard Zhang Shengkang saying in his heart, "If I hadn't taken action, the Queen Mother would have suffered longer every year. My son the Emperor, you must know that I am irreplaceable!" Yuwen Lan was about to frown when she heard Yan Shu's angry voice, "What? This old bastard dared to call my man like this? ! ! Only I can call him the little emperor!!!" Humph, what do you mean by 'irreplaceable'? No, this old bastard is too arrogant, he must be cured! She just didn't believe that Doctor Jiang couldn't cure the Queen Mother? Yuwen Lan thought so too. Judging from past experience, Jiang Nianqi's medical skills were not inferior to Zhang Shengkang's, and he might not be unable to cure the empress dowager's illness. But before he could open his mouth, he smelled a smell of medicine approaching. It turned out that Dan Shuang, a maid from Ci'an Palace, came over with the freshly boiled medicine. Seeing this, Yan Shu hurriedly said, "Let me do it." Then she took the medicine bowl, sat beside the couch, and fed the empress dowager the medicine. While feeding, she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart. Wuwuwu, this medicine smells bitter. You have worked hard for most of your life, why do you have to suffer like this? Get well soon. After watching the bowl of medicine being fed, the empress dowager forced herself to open her eyes and said to the two of them, "It's getting late. Your Majesty should go back and rest. Concubine Yi is still pregnant with the prince, so don't worry too much for me." Yan Shu said, "I don't have anything important to do. You are worried about your majesty being like this, so I'd better stay with you a little longer." After she finished speaking, she turned around and instructed Zhang Shengkang, "Doctor Zhang, you have worked hard too. Go down and eat first." Seeing this, Zhang Shengkang had no choice but to bow his head and agree, then retreated first. The palace was clear of troubles for a moment, and Yan Shu hurriedly said to the Queen Mother, "I understand that Your Majesty has always trusted Doctor Zhang, but the prescriptions of doctors are probably different. How about calling Doctor Jiang to take another look?" But the Queen Mother sighed, "It's all the same. I know my illness myself, and there is no good way." Seeing this, Yuwen Lan also hurriedly said, "Mother, you have seen Doctor Jiang Yu's medical skills recently, and he may be better than Zhang Shengkang. Why not ask him to try, your health is the most important." After hearing him say this, the Queen Mother finally said yes. Not long after, the summoned Doctor Jiang hurriedly arrived. After checking the empress dowager's pulse for a while, she said to the two of them, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi, judging from the pulse, the empress dowager is suffering from spleen deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, liver qi stagnation, qi and blood stagnation, which block the meridians, resulting in the failure of clear yang to rise and the lack of nourishment to the head and orifices." This was a bit professional, and Yan Shu didn't quite understand it. She looked at the emperor, who also frowned slightly, and didn't seem to understand. And then she looked at the empress dowager, who was already drowsy. She thought about it, and simply called the palace maids to serve her, and then led the emperor and Doctor Jiang to talk outside.

There were no more people around, so she immediately asked Doctor Jiang, "The Queen Mother has a chronic disease that has recurred every year for many years and is very painful. In your opinion, can this disease be cured?"

After he finished speaking, Yuwen Lan also nodded and looked at Doctor Jiang.

——Because he was really thinking about the Queen Mother, both of them were full of hope at this time.

However, Doctor Jiang bowed his head and said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the headache is indeed difficult to cure, and most prescriptions can only provide relief."

What?

Hearing this, both of them were stunned. Could it be that even Doctor Jiang couldn't do anything?

Yan Shu was unwilling to accept the result and asked hurriedly, "No way, can't you even cure the poison of the black-headed mulberry? It's just a headache, how can you not cure it?"

After the words fell, Doctor Jiang showed a guilty look and said, "I am incompetent and disappoint Your Majesty. Usually, acute external injuries are easier to treat. The Queen Mother's headache is an internal disease, and it is an old disease. It is indeed not easy to cure."

Yan Shu, "..."

Is there really no way to help his top boss?

Just when she was about to be disappointed, she heard Doctor Jiang say again, "The last time I cured the poison of the black-headed mulberry, it was also a last resort. This was the only way. I can only take the risk to save the person, but others can take risks, how can the Queen Mother take risks easily?"

Risk?

Yan Shu paused, thinking, according to this, there is still a way?

Yuwen Lan had also heard it, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If there is a way, just tell me directly. I know that you are knowledgeable and must know more than others."

As soon as he said this, he saw that the imperial physician Jiang paused, and had to say, "Your Majesty, I do know that there was a famous doctor in the capital named Xun Ji. He has a book called "Xinglin Shiyi", which records many difficult problems. "Miscellaneous Diseases and Prescriptions for Diagnosis and Treatment. Many years ago, I had the honor of seeing this book. I vaguely remember that it contained a method for treating his stubborn headache. Unfortunately, I could only glance at it hastily at that time and did not have time to study it carefully. I missed it. Now I only remember a few of the medicines, but not all of them. So I dare not treat the Empress Dowager rashly."

After the words fell, Yuwen Lan and Yan Shu were both stunned.

Doctor Jiang actually mentioned his own father?

And then, he sighed heavily in his heart and said, "If I had not been so playful and if I had been more obedient, I would not have wasted my father's efforts..."

Yan Shu listened quietly and thought to herself that it seemed that this "Xinglin Shiyi" was the secret book stolen by Zhang Shengkang.

But the system suddenly jumped out and interrupted, [Yes, it is that secret book. ]

Yan Shu hissed, [That is to say, Zhang Shengkang has this secret book, which can cure the Queen Mother's stubborn disease, but he deliberately didn't cure it for her? ]

The system snorted, [If he cured the Queen Mother in one go, how can he ask the Queen Mother to keep using him? ]

Yan Shu couldn't help but scold Zhang Shengkang three times as a bastard! ! ! Damn,

this bastard is too hateful! ! ! How can he treat her leader like this! He has no conscience at all! ! !

At this time, hearing her scolding, Yuwen Lan was also angry.

——This Zhang Shengkang, just like he did to him before, knowing that he could cure it but didn't, just plotting to get credit, it's just too hateful! ! !

The villain is indeed a villain, not worthy of the slightest trust.

Of course, after his anger, he also understood that the most important thing now is how to get this "Xinglin Shiyi".

At this moment, Yan Shu asked Doctor Jiang, "So, if you can find this "Xinglin Shiyi", can you cure the Queen Mother?"

Doctor Jiang said, "I should be 90% sure."

90% sure?

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows. It is known that doctors do not lie easily. Doctor Jiang can say so, it seems that there is indeed hope.

At this moment, Yuwen Lan asked Doctor Jiang, "Does the doctor know how to find this book?"

Yan Shu was stunned, thinking that this person had forgotten that the book was clearly with Zhang Shengkang!

However, before she could react, Doctor Jiang said, "I heard that Dr. Xun was slandered by evil people and died with hatred, and the fate of the book is unknown..."

After hearing this, the other party sighed in his heart, "That's it, saving people is more important." 】

Yan Shu was stunned again -

hearing this, could Imperial Physician Jiang want to tell the story about Xun Ji and Zhang Shengkang?

But, isn't he afraid of exposing his change of identity?

This would involve the crime of deceiving the emperor!

No, although she was sincere, she didn't put her whole family in danger.

Then she had an idea, and immediately exclaimed, "I have also heard about this in a book! Doctor Xun is a very skilled doctor who can treat all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. I heard that Zhang Shengkang is his disciple."

After the voice fell, Doctor Jiang was stunned, "......How did your majesty know?"

Yuwen Lan, "......"

However, Yan Shu did not answer, but said, "It seems that the death of Doctor Xun is also related to Zhang Shengkang. Ah, maybe the book is in Zhang Shengkang's hands now!"

Doctor Jiang was stunned again, "This, this, this... Madam... Where did mother hear that from... "

But before she finished her words, Yan Shu waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. I and His Majesty will make the decision. You go back and make preparations. When you find the book, you can treat the Empress Dowager."

Imperial Physician Jiang, "???"

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Unable to bear to see Jiang Nianqi's confused look, he had to say, "Just as Concubine Yi said, go back and wait. No need to ask the rest." After

the voice fell, Imperial Physician Jiang responded with a "yes", bowed to the two of them, and took his leave.

Yuwen Lan coughed and was about to say something, but Yan Shu hurriedly said to him, "Your Majesty, look, Zhang Shengkang is such a bad guy. He clearly has a way, but he doesn't cure the Queen Mother. He is unworthy of being a doctor, and even more so, he is not worthy of the Queen Mother's trust in him!"

Yuwen Lan hummed and was about to speak, but she continued, "But the Queen Mother trusts him so much. If we suddenly take action against him now, we are afraid that it will alarm the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother cannot withstand any unexpected events now. Secondly, we are afraid that he will be alarmed and destroy the secret book. So it is better to get the secret book first and cure the Queen Mother."

Yuwen Lan hummed again, and before she could say anything, she said, "I have already figured it out. The book "Xinglin Shiyi" is in the second compartment on the left of the third shelf on the north wall of the study in Zhang Shengkang's house. Your Majesty will ask the Jinyiwei to steal it tonight. No, it is to return it to its original owner."

Yuwen Lan, "...Okay."

With his beloved concubine around, what can't be done in this world?

And, I'm afraid he won't even have to say anything in the future.
