Chapter 826: Heart disease needs heart medicine
Chapter 828:
The Empress Dowager: "I know my own health very well. My illness cannot be cured by taking medicine."
The reason why she fell ill this time was because of anger.
To put it bluntly, I was angry.
If she wants to recover completely from this illness, the simplest and most direct way is to solve her mental illness.
Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine.
But the price of this heart medicine is too high.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh when she thought of what the Emperor had said to her.
"I really didn't expect it. How did things get to this point? Everything was fine, how did it suddenly become like this?"
When Lu Xinyao thought of her family's experience, she couldn't help but tear up.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Can you save Grandfather? Grandfather has trusted you since he was a child. He said that as long as you are with him, he will feel at ease. Now you are the only one who can save him."
The Empress Dowager said helplessly: "I also want to save him, but the Emperor won't listen to me, what can I do?"
Lu Xinyao was anxious: "If you can't do anything, then Grandfather will have no choice but to die, right?"
Ms. Kong coughed lightly and said, "The Empress Dowager is ill. She must rest and recuperate. We should talk about these troubles later."
Lu Xinyao grabbed the silk handkerchief and said with red eyes.
"But my grandfather has been captured. Time is running out. We must get him out quickly!"
The Empress Dowager said nothing.
Ms. Kong: "Miss Lu, the Empress Dowager needs to rest, you should go out."
Lu Xinyao looked at the Empress Dowager eagerly.
The Empress Dowager just closed her eyes and didn't look at her.
Lu Xinyao had no choice but to retreat.
But she did not go far, but knelt at the door of the bedroom.
She had limited knowledge and was timid, so she didn't know how to rescue her family, so she could only use this stupid method, hoping to impress the Empress Dowager.
In the sleeping hall.
The Empress Dowager opened her eyes again.
She looked at the small screen next to the couch, and the pictures on it, and after a long while she spoke softly.
"I don't know what to do either."
Ms. Kong said in a gentle voice, "The most important thing for you now is to recover as soon as possible and stop worrying about these things."
The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly: "I don't want to worry about these things, but things have already happened, and I can't just pretend it never happened. After all... after all, he is my only brother."
Ms. Kong didn't know what to say.
The Empress Dowager looked at her and said, "What do you think I should do? Do I really have to hand over the military token just to save the Lu family?"
Ms. Kong: "I don't know."
The Empress Dowager obviously knew that this problem could not be solved by a mere female historian.
She just asked casually and didn't get a definite answer. She didn't feel disappointed, but just sighed deeply.
"If I hand over the military token, the emperor will hold all the power and will certainly not take me seriously in the future. But if I don't hand over the military token, the Lu family will not be able to be saved."
Even though she has left the Lu family for many years, the Lu family's blood still flows in her body.
If she really let the Lu family die, how would she face the ancestors of the Lu family a hundred years later?
She was in a dilemma and didn't know how to make a decision.
Ms. Kong advised, "Don't think about it. Go to sleep for a while. It's not good for your health to keep wasting time like this."
The Empress Dowager wanted to say that she couldn't sleep, but then she thought it would be a good idea to take a nap. Perhaps after waking up, all her problems would be solved.
She took the calming tea from Ms. Kong.
After drinking her tea, the Empress Dowager lay down.
After making sure that she was asleep, Ms. Kong tiptoed out of the bedroom.
As soon as Ms. Kong went out, she saw Lu Xinyao kneeling at the door.
"Miss Lu, the Empress Dowager has gone to bed. You should go back."
Lu Xinyao bit her lower lip and said, "I won't go back. I'll ask the Empress Dowager to save my grandfather."
Ms. Kong tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that she would not listen, she could only sigh helplessly and walked away from her.
The Empress Dowager had a very bad sleep.
She had a nightmare.
In her dream, she saw with her own eyes the execution of Duke Hong.
The flesh on his body was scraped off piece by piece, and his whole body was covered in blood.
He stretched out his bloody hands to her and cried for help.
She was so scared that she ran away, but when she turned around, she saw members of the Lu family being beheaded one by one.
Those familiar relatives died one by one, their heads rolling to her feet, making miserable accusations.
"Why didn't you save us?"
"Why didn't you save us?"
…
The Empress Dowager suddenly woke up from her nightmare.
She threw back the quilt and sat up, shouting hurriedly, "Someone, someone, please!"
The palace maid waiting outside the door walked in quickly. She saw that the Empress Dowager's face was covered in cold sweat. She guessed that the Empress Dowager might have been frightened by a nightmare, so she quickly asked someone to invite Ms. Kong over.
Ms. Kong then asked someone to invite the imperial physician.
There was chaos in Changle Palace again.
By the time things calmed down, it was already dark.
The Empress Dowager looked even worse than she had during the day.
She is now afraid to even sleep, for fear that she will see those bloody scenes again as soon as she closes her eyes.
Ms. Kong stayed by the side of the Empress Dowager all the time.
The hall was brightly lit.
By the early hours of the morning, the Empress Dowager could no longer hold on.
She said tiredly.
"Go and ask the emperor to come over."
Ms. Kong immediately arranged for someone to deliver the letter to Yunxiu Palace.
Luo Qinghan always gets up early, and these days are no exception.
He got up as soon as it was daybreak.
Xiao Xixi also struggled to get out of bed and have breakfast with him.
Halfway through breakfast, I heard that someone was coming from Changle Palace.
When Luo Qinghan learned that it was the Empress Dowager who wanted to see him, he immediately knew what was going on.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Xixi.
"I'm leaving now. Take your time eating."
Xiao Xixi: "You only ate so little, you're not full, right? Take an egg and go, you can eat it on the way."
After saying that, she picked up a boiled egg and stuffed it into Luo Qinghan's hand.
Touching the warm boiled eggs, Luo Qinghan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he softly responded: "Yeah."
He put the boiled egg into his sleeve, walked out of Yunxiu Palace and sat in the dragon chariot.
The dragon chariot started slowly and moved on the silent palace road.
Luo Qinghan took out an egg from his sleeve.
Looking at the boiled egg in his hand, he suddenly recalled some past events.
When he was studying at the Imperial Academy, other princes had their mothers prepare meals for them, but he was the only one who didn't.
Because Queen Qin's rules were very strict, except for three meals a day, eating was not allowed at other times, and snacks were out of the question.
But the princes at that time were at the age of growing taller and could easily get hungry.
The other princes all brought food to the Imperial Academy and could eat whenever they were hungry.
Luo Qinghan had nothing and could only endure it silently.
He remembered the most memorable time when someone was eating boiled eggs during the break. The eggs smelled so delicious that he was so greedy that he couldn't even concentrate on reading.
