Chapter 670: Stroke
Zhong Nianyao had never thought that the Queen Mother's misfortune was actually related to Nangong Xin. Moreover, it happened so soon.
"National Master, please help check on our mother!" Nalandeyi looked inside with concern. "She is in a very dangerous situation this time."
Zhong Nianyao nodded and walked inside.
Lu Yichen stopped and did not follow in.
Nalandeyi glanced at Lu Yichen who was standing not far away, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
From the beginning until now, he had almost always seen this man following the Imperial Master around. The relationship between them was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. But this man barely even glanced at anyone else, as if no one caught his eye.
However, what surprised him the most was the majesty emanating from this man. He gave people a feeling of being kept at a distance, yet he did not arouse any anger.
Even when he felt the pressure emanating from this man from time to time, he would have a vague sense of fear.
Lu Yichen naturally also felt Nalandeyi's subtle gaze, but he didn't care and didn't even look at him.
On the other side, Zhong Nianyao had already entered the inner room.
As soon as she entered, she saw the Queen Mother lying on the bed, already in a coma. There was also an imperial physician beside her, sweat oozing from his forehead and a grim expression, taking her pulse. With just one glance, she could tell that the Queen Mother was in a very bad condition.
When the imperial physician saw Zhong Nian Yao come in, a hint of joy flashed across his face.
He knew that the person in front of him was the national master who was once second only to the emperor in the Kingdom of Li and who was proficient in strange arts and medical skills.
Now when he saw the national teacher, he felt like he had seen a savior.
He was the head of the Imperial Hospital and the best doctor there. However, the Empress Dowager's condition was not good. His biggest worry was that if something happened to her, he would be held responsible.
Now that he saw the Imperial Master coming in, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if something happened to the Queen Mother, with the Imperial Master in front of him, he was truly safe.
Thinking of this, the imperial physician immediately stood up and bowed respectfully towards Zhong Nianyao, "Master Imperial Master, you are here."
After saying that, he immediately moved away, intending to give his seat to Zhong Nian Yao.
Seeing the imperial physician's expression of wanting to shrug off the trouble, Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow, but she wasn't surprised. She sat down and, using her spiritual power to examine the empress dowager's body, she used the same technique as taking her pulse.
Soon, she loosened her hand, turned her head, and looked at the imperial physician beside her, "Let's go out and report to the emperor now!"
Zhong Nianyao's words startled the imperial physician, "Master Imperial Master, the Queen Mother's side—"
He really couldn't understand Zhong Nian Yao's idea. After coming in, he just took the empress dowager's pulse, and then went out to report to the emperor.
However, before he had time to think about it, he saw Zhong Nian Yao walking outside.
Seeing this, he naturally did not dare to linger and immediately followed her out. Otherwise, if something happened to the Queen Mother, he would really have no way of explaining it.
Nalan Deyi was waiting anxiously. When he saw Zhong Nianyao coming out, his eyes lit up and he immediately went to greet her, "Master, how is the Queen Mother?"
Zhong Nian Yao did not answer, but looked at the imperial physician and motioned for him to speak.
Suddenly, the imperial physician was completely stunned. He had originally thought that since the Imperial Preceptor had gone in with him, he should now explain the Empress Dowager's condition. Why did the problem fall on him again?
The Queen Mother's condition is so bad now, can he tell the truth? Does he dare to tell the truth?
Now, facing the emperor's worried gaze, the fear in his heart deepened. For a moment, he didn't know how to express it.
Perhaps sensing the fear in the imperial physician's heart, Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "Don't be afraid. Just tell him the truth. The emperor won't blame you."
Zhong Nianyao's words made Nalandeyi's heart sink. He then looked at the doctor's evasive eyes and said directly, "How is the Queen Mother now? Tell me the truth, otherwise-"
The words were not finished, but the imperial physician already understood what he meant. He was terrified and suddenly knelt on the ground, saying in a terrified tone, "Your Majesty, I am not a skilled doctor and cannot save the Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager is already quite old, and her health hasn't been very good. Today, she seems to have been greatly stimulated, and her emotions have become very agitated. The Empress Dowager was suddenly overcome with rage and fainted. However, this stimulation was still too much for the Empress Dowager. So... so..."
"So, the Queen Mother's health is not good right now. She may have suffered a stroke. Even if she wakes up in the future, she will probably feel weakness in her lower limbs. I'm afraid she will have to stay in bed for the rest of her life."
After hearing the imperial physician's answer, Nalan Deyi frowned, "Is there no other way?"
Facing Nalandeyi's sharp eyes, the imperial physician suddenly felt extremely pressured, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He couldn't help but look at Zhong Nianyao for help, as if hoping that Zhong Nianyao could help speak up.
Nalan Deyi also saw the look in the imperial physician's eyes, and he also shifted his gaze to Zhong Nianyao, "National Master, look at this——"
"Just like the imperial physician said, the Empress Dowager's final condition will be bedridden recuperation." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said softly, "There is no other way."
Suddenly, Nalandeyi couldn't hide his disappointment on his face, but he still didn't give up, "State Master, Mother——"
Just as he opened his mouth, Zhong Nianyao raised her hand to stop him from saying the next word, "No need to say more, Your Majesty, then I will tell you honestly! The Queen Mother's misfortune is destined, and no one can change it."
After getting Zhong Nianyao's answer, Nalandeyi looked extremely disappointed, like a deflated ball.
However, anger immediately appeared on his face, and he directly ordered, "Come here, give Nangong Xin fifty lashes first. As for the rest, we will make a decision after the Queen Mother wakes up."
After hearing what Nalan Deyi said, Zhong Nianyao almost laughed out loud. However, she also became curious about what the Queen Mother's reaction would be when she woke up.
