Chapter 498: The Condition Worsens



When Guo Yuanzheng heard that the Queen Mother wanted to live, he said nothing.

Gu Ling'er walked towards her step by step, and when she reached the bed, she said calmly, "Empress Dowager, your illness has damaged your liver. It is almost impossible to cure it."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother subconsciously wanted to scold them, but then she changed her mind and thought that she still had to rely on them for treatment, so she endured it.

She forced a smile and said amiably, "Miss Ling'er is from Yaoling Valley, she has superb medical skills, there must be a way."

"I have limited abilities and there is nothing I can do."

The Queen Mother slowly grasped the mattress, suppressing her anger, "Is my illness really incurable?"

"I can't cure it anyway." Gu Ling'er said bluntly.

Guo Yuanzheng secretly tugged at her clothes, signaling her to speak more tactfully.

Gu Ling'er ignored him and continued, "All we can do is try to make you feel better."

"Forget it. Perhaps this is my fate."

That's what she said, but she didn't think so in her heart. Earlier, she heard that Jiang Yueyang had a way to save her.

As long as the emperor calms down and she coaxes him, he will definitely let Jiang Yueyang save her!

From childhood to adulthood, the emperor cared very much about her as a mother.

***

Early the next morning, the empress dowager ordered someone to deliver Emperor Yuan's favorite snacks before he went to court.

At noon, she ordered someone to deliver lunch.

In the evening, she sent someone to invite Emperor Yuan to have dinner at Shoukang Palace, and also sent a letter to express her guilt.

Emperor Yuan ignored it and did not ask about the affairs of Shoukang Palace, let alone the empress dowager's illness.

On the second day, the Queen Mother continued to have snacks and meals delivered, and letters were also delivered one after another.

Emperor Yuan couldn't help but read the letter. The contents of the letter included things like when he was a kid and wanted the empress dowager to sleep with him, when he was sick and the empress dowager took care of him all night, and when he played with the empress dowager...

In short, these were the few warm moments between him and the Queen Mother.

Emperor Yuan knew that the Queen Mother had ulterior motives in doing all this, and it was definitely not because of love for him or guilt.

But the memories came flooding back, and his heart was still a little shaken. After all, those warm moments really existed.

He remembered his mother's gentle smile, caring words and warm embrace when he was a child.

Those few warm moments kept reappearing in his mind like a movie.

Just when he was about to be overwhelmed by memories, the words that the Queen Mother said to him yesterday suddenly rang in his ears.

The heart that had just softened became hard again, and a high wall fortress was built outside.

He ordered in a cold voice: "From now on, the things sent from Shoukang Palace do not need to be handed to me anymore."

Hearing this, Li Fuquan on the side quickly glanced at his face and responded "yes".

Meanwhile, in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother's condition worsened, and she developed pain in the liver area and ascites.

Gu Ling'er gave her acupuncture to relieve the pain, and it took a lot of effort to make her feel a little better.

I saw her lying on the bed with a pale face, her hair soaked with sweat, and she dared not move.

After Gu Ling'er wrote a prescription and gave it to Yuanzheng Guo, she went to the side hall to rest.

If the Queen Mother's illness was not rare and worthy of research, she would have wanted to leave.

Director Guo watched her leave without saying anything. He just told someone to get the medicine and boil it quickly.

After the medicine was ready and brought over, the palace maid fed it to the empress dowager, and then Guo Yuanzheng went down to rest.

As soon as Guo Yuanzheng left, the empress dowager called the head aunt to her side and asked, "What's going on with the emperor?"

The aunt in charge shook her head, her meaning was self-evident.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to summon Jiang Yueyang to the palace and tell them that the Emperor asked her to come and treat me. Stay away from the Emperor's people."

"promise."

Afterwards, the aunt in charge went down and ordered someone to go to the Supervisory Office to summon Jiang Yueyang into the palace.

At this time, Jiang Yueyang was sitting in Lu Yunting's study choosing their wedding invitations.

Lu Yunting personally designed more than a dozen invitations and asked Jiang Yueyang to pick one she liked.

"Yangyang, which one do you like?"

Jiang Yueyang looked at him with curved eyebrows and asked, "Did you make these invitations yourself?"

"Um."

“Isn’t it too ugly?”

Jiang Yueyang shook her head, "No, they all look great. I don't know which one to choose."

"Choose the one you like."

"Hmm..." Jiang Yueyang's eyes swept back and forth over the dozen invitations, and finally picked one up, "Then this one will do."

She chose an invitation with their miniature portraits on the outside and pear blossoms on the inside.

Lu Yunting's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay, let's use this for our wedding invitation."

"This is such a beautiful painting, who drew it?" Jiang Yueyang gently brushed over the two little figures on the invitation.

"I."

"You drew it?" Jiang Yueyang was slightly surprised.

Lu Yunting smiled slightly, "Surprised? You think a military commander can't paint?"

"No, I just didn't expect your painting skills to be so good."

“Really good painting?”

Jiang Yueyang nodded affirmatively, "Very good, the pear blossoms are so realistic that they seem to move. But, your painting is so beautiful that the person who made the invitations may find it difficult to replicate it."

"I draw it myself."

"What?" Jiang Yueyang was surprised again.

Lu Yunting reached out and gently pinched her cheek, "I will make our wedding invitations myself."

"Too many."

Although there was a high degree of overlap in the guests invited by the two families, the two families still had to send out invitations separately.
