Doctor Liu: “…”
What on earth was His Majesty talking about? Why did he feel so confused and bewildered?
When he finally came to his senses, Doctor Liu was shocked!
Hmm? What exactly does your Majesty mean by this?
Could it be that... Your Majesty has actually known for a long time that he has been poisoned?
Just as Doctor Liu was filled with suspicion and astonishment, Zhao Zixu spoke again, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploding in his ears. In the most ordinary tone, he said the most cruel words: "Liu Ruochun, prescribe a prescription for me and find a way to delay the onset of the poison. If you can't do that, I will take your head."
Doctor Liu's real name was Liu Ruochun. When he heard what Zhao Zixu said, his eyes rolled back, he fell to the ground, kicked his legs, and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Zixu raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a faint smile. He looked at Doctor Liu lying on the ground and called in Eunuch Luo.
Eunuch Luo walked into the inner hall and his eyes fell on the unconscious Doctor Liu, his heart full of doubts: What on earth had happened?
When he caught a glimpse of the solemn expression on his Majesty's face, he instantly understood - His Majesty must have said something that frightened Doctor Liu into fainting.
Zhao Zixu said expressionlessly, "Wake him up."
Luo Eunuch replied respectfully, "As you wish."
Then he quickly walked to the side of Doctor Liu, squatted down, stretched out his fingers and gently pinched Doctor Liu's philtrum.
After a long moment, Doctor Liu finally opened his eyes, his gaze dazed and terrified. His Majesty's words still echoed in his mind, as if a heavy burden weighed on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
When Eunuch Luo saw that Doctor Liu had woken up, he quickly helped him up and gently reminded him, "Doctor Liu, please don't lose your composure in front of His Majesty."
However, Doctor Liu's legs felt weak and he was about to kneel down again.
Eunuch Luo was quick-witted and grabbed Doctor Liu, thus preventing him from making a fool of himself in public.
At this time, Doctor Liu was trembling all over, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and he was at a loss as to what to do with his hands.
"Your Majesty..."
Imperial Physician Liu looked at Zhao Zixu and then at Eunuch Luo.
Eunuch Luo let go of Doctor Liu and stepped aside.
Doctor Liu's knees were still weak. He used all his strength to support his legs to prevent himself from kneeling. It was a serious sin to be disrespectful in front of the emperor.
He only has one head, not enough for Your Majesty to chop off.
Zhao Zixu said in a commanding tone, "Prescribe medicine for me."
Zhao Zixu knew very well that his body had reached its limit and was on the verge of collapse, but he was only one crucial step away from doing anything. He urgently needed to take medicine to suppress the toxins in his body and buy himself more time.
Yu Shi has not returned yet, so he has to wait for Yu Shi to come back.
Imperial Physician Liu had no idea what had caused His Majesty's poisoning. He had been at the Imperial Hospital for many years, and his medical skills were among the best. His Majesty had summoned him alone and ordered him to prescribe medicine to delay the onset of the poison. There must have been a special reason for this.
He knew that he was of humble and insignificant status and had nothing to do with this matter. He must not be involved in it, let alone say too much. Asking one more question would add to his guilt.
The wisest choice is to strictly follow His Majesty's will.
However, although his medical skills were outstanding and first-class in the Imperial Hospital, the toxins in His Majesty's body were so complicated and tangled that he was not completely sure that he could suppress them.
Doctor Liu knelt on his knees and said with deep fear, "Your Majesty, I dare not use medicine lightly!"
You must know that this medicine is not an ordinary thing. If there is a slight mistake in the dosage, even if it is just an extremely small difference in dosage, it is very likely to take away Your Majesty's precious life in an instant.
Faced with such a life-and-death matter, how could Doctor Liu dare to take such a risk?
At this time, Zhao Zixu said to Doctor Liu, "I will appoint someone to discuss with you how to use the medicine."
Then, he turned to the eunuch Luo beside him and ordered, "Go and bring Madam Hua to the palace. Have her and Imperial Physician Liu remove the poison from my body."
After hearing the emperor's order, Eunuch Luo was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses and nodded woodenly, indicating that he would obey the order.
Your Majesty, you are not asking Madam Hua to detoxify him, you are asking Madam Hua to prolong his life!
Finally, we have come to this point today.
Eunuch Luo stared blankly at Zhao Zixu, his eyes filled with endless heartache and pity, and unspeakable sorrow in his heart.
Doctor Liu has been sent back to the Imperial Hospital.
Tears flowed down the eunuch Luo's cheeks like a broken dam, flowing continuously and soaking the eunuch's crimson clothes.
Zhao Zixu glanced at Luo Nei Shi with some disgust and said, "Why are you crying? I will die sooner or later."
Looking at Eunuch Luo who was crying like a little cat, Zhao Zixu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him.
However, Eunuch Luo did not reach out to take the handkerchief, but turned around with his back to Zhao Zixu.
He tried hard not to cry out loud, but he couldn't wipe away the tears no matter what he did.
The screen blocked the sight of the people in the hall, and no one noticed that someone came in quietly, and after hearing certain words, walked out quietly.
Zhao Zixu glanced at the screen with a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains not far away. After just a glance, his eyes returned to Luo Nei Shi. He looked at Luo Nei Shi with an expression of more and more disgust.
It's not that I really dislike it.
Zhao Zixu walked to the side of Luo Nei Shi, put his calloused hand on Luo Nei Shi's shoulder, and said gently, "You are an old man in your forties, how can you act like a child?"
Eunuch Luo quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, but the tears continued to flow like a dam bursting. He said in a hoarse and choked voice: "Don't worry about it..."
Then he turned his head abruptly, no longer looking directly at Zhao Zixu, and said stubbornly, "I am not a child!"
Zhao Zixu was not angry at Luo Nei Shi's rudeness. This was the person who had grown up with him, and the friendship between them was even deeper than that between Ye Yu Shi.
He said softly, "Luo Shen, accompany me on this last journey."
Hearing this, the tears in Luo's eyes surged even more violently. He bit his lips tightly, trying hard not to cry out loud, and finally bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty..."
…
Inside the General’s Mansion, in Guanju Pavilion.
Sanqiao walked into the room in a hurry. At that time, Hua Fushu was sitting at the desk, writing something furiously.
Seeing Sanqiao come in, she finished writing the last stroke, gently put down the brush in her hand, then looked up at Sanqiao and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Sanqiao took a breath and replied, "Madam, someone has come from the palace. It's Mr. Luo Shenluo."
Someone's coming from the palace? Or is it the most important eunuch beside the current emperor?
