Chapter 495 The Grand Finale (5)
The third person also did not survive, dying a month later.
The reason is unknown, but it seems that this person was addicted to alcohol, and his family secretly fed him a sip.
Lu Qingqing did not investigate further.
She did not perform surgery on the remaining two people, but gave them two hundred taels of silver and a prescription for conservative treatment.
Then she tore up the notes recording the craniotomy and sent a message: This procedure is not feasible.
He also warned Sixi and Qiaoxiu not to touch it again.
The conditions are not met; at least, it's not possible right now.
If people find out that it might succeed, there's no guarantee that the likes of the "Saintly Healer Sect" won't reappear.
After that, Lu Qingqing continued her teaching career, immersed herself in the library, and practiced medicine in various places.
The emergence of renowned doctors is like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Lu Qingqing also thoroughly studied the medical books in the library.
Many of these are treasures that have long been lost in modern times.
Sometimes, Lu Qingqing would get so engrossed in watching that she would stay there until dark.
She tested all the ingenious remedies in it and then re-compiled them.
The transmission of traditional Chinese medicine has been interrupted in modern times. When she was learning traditional Chinese medicine, she traveled all over the country to collect some books, some of which were collected for her by her classmates from abroad.
The treasures of traditional Chinese medicine must not be lost.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingqing made copies of thousands of medical classics, divided them into dozens of portions, put them in a box, and treated them with preservatives. Then she had her secret guards bury them in several famous mountains and erect tombstones.
She thought that one day in the future, she might be dug up and see the light of day again.
In many of the places Lu Qingqing visited, shrines were built in her honor, and she was hailed as the "Divine Healer and Holy Mother".
In the fifth year of Emperor Renkang's reign, Lu Anxi was made empress.
Upon hearing that the empress came from the common people, the courtiers jumped up in opposition.
It was only later that I learned that Lu Anxi's aunt was a renowned physician, revered by countless famous doctors, disciples of renowned doctors, and people of all classes.
Her father was a world-renowned mechanic, and so was she herself.
My mother was the head of Da Gan No. 1 Condiment Company.
My uncle is the top pharmaceutical merchant in Dagan. Every year, he contributes thousands of taels of silver to the national treasury, and he also regularly provides disaster relief and supports the border defense.
My aunt was a master embroiderer with both hands; her embroidery was highly sought after in the capital.
Grandmother is...
My aunt is...
Oh dear, never mind, there are countless people behind her!
We absolutely cannot afford to offend them!
One person, oblivious to the danger, remarked, "They're so powerful, wealthy, and influential. If we give them power, won't they rebel?"
Lu Anxi was already hesitant, and upon hearing this, she exclaimed, "I'm not getting married!"
Emperor Renkang threw a stick at the courtier's mouth, knocking out two of his front teeth.
"Waaaaah... Your Majesty, spare my life!"
The Grand Master of Ceremonies looked at him with sympathy. Only he knew that the Lu family had long since gained supreme power.
In the imperial genealogy, next to the late emperor's name, is written Lu Qingqing's name!
The Empress is the Divine Physician, and the Divine Physician is the Empress!
No, she is the Empress Dowager now!
Did they rebel?
They don't even want to enter the palace!
I hope the current empress is kind and not as cruel as the empress dowager. Please have pity on their emperor!
"Your Majesty and the Empress wish to be inseparable and to have a son soon!"
Then, the ministers realized what was happening and all knelt down and shouted.
At the head of the table, the emperor held the empress tightly, afraid that she would really run away.
He finally managed to coax her over five years!
...
In the eleventh year of Emperor Renkang's reign, the Great Gan Dynasty entered a golden age.
The population doubled, and the people were well-fed and clothed.
Lu Qingqing is forty years old; she can't run anymore.
Because of irregular eating habits, and the fact that he was infected while treating patients in the village, his health deteriorated significantly after he recovered.
That year, Shan Yueming passed away. Despite her already weakened health, she lived for another twenty years, and her family was harmonious and prosperous. She was truly content.
After she left, Old Man Lu dressed her and talked to her all night. The next morning, when Lu Qingqing and her two siblings went in, they saw that the two of them were both dressed in new clothes, lying side by side, and had gone together.
Live in the same quilt and die in the same coffin.
Lu Qingqing felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She thought of that gentle-smiling man again.
Over the years, she has traveled everywhere, studied medical books day and night, rejected all men who wanted to get close to her, never went to Jiangnan, and never went to the capital again.
Isn't this just escapism, a way of avoiding the pain of longing?
Seeing her parents holding hands, she could no longer suppress her longing.
She was going to the capital, to the imperial mausoleum, to see him.
Let's also go...and see her coffin.
Ten years after he left, Lu Qingqing stepped into the capital again.
She walked on the wide street, no longer avoiding the topic, freely recalling the path she had walked on the Qixi Festival years ago.
She stood at the foot of the clock tower and looked at it for a very long time.
The memory of my beloved has faded, and autumn has already arrived in the mountains and rivers.
...
There was the tinkling sound of horse bells.
A group of people slowly walked towards this side.
Those were envoys from the Northern Barbarians.
They have just suffered a defeat and are now here to negotiate.
People gathered here.
The bodyguards appeared, hiding among the people, following Lu Qingqing at a distance.
In the center of the envoy's carriage sat a beautiful woman, her large eyes gazing at the bustling streets, lined with restaurants and towering clock towers. Inadvertently, a hint of greed flashed in her eyes.
Then, she turned to Lu Qingqing and saw Lu Qingqing, who stood out from the crowd and had an extraordinary temperament.
Lu Qingqing stared at her with sharp eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Foreigners harbor malicious intentions; peace talks are a pretense, their true purpose is to send spies.
After all these years, they haven't uncovered the secrets of the cannons, so now they're sending beauties to seduce the king.
The beauty showed anger, feeling that Lu Qingqing had seen through her thoughts.
She needs to find a way to bring her over and ask her what she was sneering about just now.
A little girl skipped and hopped along the street with her schoolbag on her back.
Singing a nursery rhyme: "Girl, girl, grow up slowly,
A little sun lives in my heart.
No need to rely on others' fame,
You yourself,
It was already shining brightly...
Wearing cloud-patterned clothes,
Studying, practicing medicine, running a shop—so busy!
Women can glow.
Women are like the radiant sun.
These are the students at the new girls' school established by Qingyao. Lu Qingqing couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, the messenger's carriage seemed to be startled, swerved, and crashed into the girl.
No, it was heading straight for Lu Qingqing, but the little girl just happened to be in front of her.
Lu Qingqing grabbed the girl and moved her to one side.
Amid cries of alarm, two guards rushed in from the left and right. With a flash of their long swords, the tall horse neighed in agony as its two front legs were severed.
The carriage overturned with a loud crash.
It was noisy.
However, Lu Qingqing's body was stiff and she couldn't move at all.
The bells of the clock tower rang out, their deep, resonant tones reverberating in waves.
"Lu Qingqing—"
"Lu Qingqing—"
"Why haven't you returned yet—"
Who is it?
Who is calling her?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" the guard cried out in terror.
The Di princess's shrill scream.
The sound of the Imperial Guards marching in a mighty procession.
All the sounds faded away, faded away...
Lu Qingqing was plunged into darkness.
In the eleventh year of the Renkang era, the Di Kingdom's envoys killed Empress Dowager Daqian and were executed on the spot.
The emperor was furious and declared war on the Di, refusing to negotiate any peace.
The Lu family frantically transported supplies and weapons to the border to support the army.
At the same time, the royal family also revealed to the world a secret that had been hidden for twenty years.
The legendary healer Lu Qingqing was the late emperor's beloved empress.
In a short time, the people of Daqian spontaneously built temples and shrines, and offered incense and sacrifices.
Many civilian organizations also donated grain to the border to help fight the Northern Barbarians.
The Northern Barbarians' crushing defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Lu Qingqing is known as the "Folk Queen", the "Divine Physician Queen", and the "Holy Goddess".
Her love story with Emperor Yuan Ning was widely circulated through numerous storybooks.
