Nanny Zhang was standing by, looking at Bai Susu in confusion. She kept glancing at her. She looked pale and had red eyes. She was obviously just a weak and delicate woman, but she didn't expect her to be so brave.
"Of course I am afraid of death, but I am more afraid that something will happen to the emperor." The slightly choked ending tone revealed Bai Susu's fear, but it was even more moving.
She took a deep breath and continued, "I am not a royal physician, but the Emperor is ill now. I am content to be by his side, helping him with medicine and dressing. I am content to do my best. Furthermore, although the Emperor has many servants, none of them are as attentive as he is. I beg the Empress to allow me to accompany him."
Her words were powerful and well-reasoned. The Empress and Aunt Zhang were both shocked after hearing them.
She has deep feelings for the emperor, and the queen doesn't know how she feels about it.
There is no simple woman in the palace. Every move she makes may have a hidden purpose.
Today, she could not read anything else from Bai Susu's eyes.
This is a matter of life and death, who would still think she is acting?
Admiration? Maybe. Jealousy? A little bit.
If she was in good health, wouldn't she want to be by the emperor's side?
Even though the two of them had disagreements, they now had a common goal, which was to keep the emperor alive.
-
After coming out of Kunning Palace, Bai Susu returned to Qixiang Hall to pack up her things.
Nanchun, Manxia and the others were shocked when they learned that their master was going to the Yangxin Palace to take care of his illness.
It’s not that they don’t want the emperor to be well, but isn’t Bai Susu going to die by doing this?
They have served Bai Susu for so long, so naturally they have feelings for her, but they can't say a word.
Bai Susu ignored their hesitation and gave clear instructions on what to bring.
He rummaged through the boxes and drawers again, and finally found the trick bag that had been so difficult to make in the sewing basket.
The lucky bag has actually been prepared, but there has never been a chance to send it out.
Looking at it, the scene of talking with Emperor Xuan Jing in the past emerged in my mind again.
Bai Susu blinked the sparkling eyes and held the brocade bag tightly in her hand. Emperor Xuan Jing liked the smell of this bag. Putting it next to him would probably relieve his discomfort.
She didn't go to the Yangxin Palace on impulse. First, she was closely related to Emperor Xuan Jing. If something really happened to Emperor Xuan Jing, she would not have a good ending, and her mission in this life would fail.
The second is that she was betting that she would not be infected. The system said at the beginning that her physical condition was very healthy and she should not be so easily infected.
Third, although she cannot summon the system now, maybe she will be able to summon it after she goes to the Yangxin Palace?
By then, the system must have a way to cure Emperor Xuan Jing's illness.
She wants to save him, she must save him!
After rejecting Nanchun and Manxia's request to accompany him, Bai Susu went to the Yangxin Palace alone with the Queen's decree.
The Yangxin Palace was surrounded by the imperial guards, and Bai Susu showed them the imperial edict from the queen before they were able to enter smoothly.
Wang Fuhai was helping the emperor drink water and take medicine when he heard the eunuch say, "Princess Zhen is here." He thought he had heard wrongly.
When he went out and saw Bai Susu, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Empress!"
Bai Susu's heart sank because Wang Fuhai looked really bad, his eyes were swollen and his face was faintly gray.
He has been serving Emperor Xuan Jing since he was ten years old, from an unknown little eunuch to the chief steward who is now the most important person by the emperor's side.
Naturally, he has a special relationship with Emperor Xuan Jing. If he behaves like this at this moment, does it mean that Emperor Xuan Jing is in a very bad situation...
Bai Susu clenched her palms, suppressing her panic, and asked, "Eunuch Wang, the Queen has allowed me to attend to the Emperor. How is the Emperor?"
Wang Fuhai has been staying with the emperor these days regardless of life or death. He is the closest person to the emperor and is not afraid even if he dies for the emperor.
But he has been under tremendous mental pressure these days. When Emperor Xuan Jing fell ill, the empress was in poor health and fell ill, and the empress dowager would not really care about the emperor.
There is no one else available to the emperor except him!
Now that Concubine Zhen is here, it’s really great!
Wang Fuhai wiped his tears, his face became even more respectful, and he stretched out his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
Bai Susu felt increasingly heavy-hearted. She had been to the Yangxin Palace more than once, and this palace had seemed so solemn and majestic, and out of reach before.
But now, it has lost all its luster, and the whole hall is filled with tension and suffocation.
This is because the owner of this temple is currently in a critical condition, dead or alive.
When Bai Susu passed by the side hall, she saw several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital. They looked haggard and had dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that they had been up all night.
When they saw Bai Susu coming, they all stood up and saluted. When they saw the sadness on the faces of several imperial doctors, Bai Susu's heart sank even more.
It's finally here... Behind the Emperor Minghuang's curtain, Emperor Xuan Jing was lying quietly on the dragon bed with his eyes closed. His face and neck were covered with pimples of various sizes, which looked a bit scary.
Bai Susu's eyes were moist, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. She could only mutter, "Your Majesty."
She was used to seeing Emperor Xuan Jing being high-spirited and arrogant, but now seeing him so fragile was almost unbearable for her.
She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud. Seeing her like this, Wang Fuhai burst into tears.
"My queen, please take care of yourself."
Bai Susu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, walked to the bed, and held Emperor Xuan Jing's big hand.
A burst of scorching heat. As he got closer, he saw Emperor Xuan Jing's brows furrowed, his mouth chapped from the intense heat. He didn't look as respectable as before.
"What did the imperial physician say?" Bai Susu asked softly.
"The Imperial Physician said that the Emperor had contracted a wind-heat attack. He first had a persistent high fever, and later developed smallpox, which is very similar to smallpox. The Imperial Physician has prescribed medicine for the Emperor, but there is no guarantee that it will be effective. After all, there is currently no effective cure for smallpox."
So, can I just rely on myself? Before Bai Susu came to Yangxin Palace, Nanchun and the others were even more heartbroken. They didn't want her to die, but they couldn't say anything to stop her.
It was Xiao Shunzi who said that smallpox was not necessarily fatal. A minister in the previous dynasty had it, but he survived and is living well. He is now over seventy years old.
He said this at the time to ease Bai Susu's mood.
But Bai Susu knew that he was right. Although smallpox was very aggressive, it did not guarantee death.
Now it depends on which is stronger, the virus or the immune system.
She couldn't lose her soul now. She had to believe that Emperor Xuan Jing would be able to pull through.
Bai Susu looked at Emperor Xuan Jing's dry lips and whispered, "Bring me a glass of water and some clean cotton cloth."
Although Wang Fuhai didn't know what Bai Susu was going to do, he was very excited at the moment and almost responded to all of Bai Susu's requests.
Bai Susu took a small piece of cotton cloth, dipped it in water and wiped the emperor's chapped lips.
