Chapter 237: Vitality
The emperor lying on his bed looked dying and could die at any time. As he spoke, the emperor waved his hand and the group of executioners retreated.
The emperor continued, "This is just my arrangement. It's all a show. Don't be alarmed. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If I really wanted to do something to you, even if you had thousands of troops, I would be able to deal with you as easily as taking something from my pocket."
Both of them were moved.
After a while, an imperial physician came in. His name was Jiang Tao. He was old and virtuous, and was the best in the Imperial Hospital.
Gu Feixue and Yuchi Shuo stepped back slightly. This person had already approached the emperor. He took the emperor's pulse and asked many questions with concern, such as diet and daily life, etc. The eunuch from the emperor's side came over.
The two asked and answered each other.
Upon hearing this, Gu Feixue realized that there were two reasons why the emperor was not in a good condition. First, the emperor believed that he was going to die, so he chose to deal with everything passively.
It has been proven in clinical medicine that as long as humans have the willpower to fight disease with wisdom and courage, their body's resistance and immunity will be stronger than before.
The second point is that the emperor’s illness is not a traditional medical disease, but a Gu from Miaojiang.
Doctor Xu had noticed this a long time ago.
They searched for talented people in the streets, but either they found fraudsters or medical officers whose skills and levels were comparable to those in the Imperial Hospital. What's worse, there were assassins who sneaked into the palace and tried to kill the emperor.
In the end, there was nothing that could be done, and the clue was closed. Only Doctor Xu provided conservative treatment for the emperor.
Now Doctor Xu has been sighing one after another, and from these sighs, both of them know that they are powerless.
"I can't help you, but if I have any idea, I will do my best." Doctor Xu pressed his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Gu Feixue asked, "Is this a poisonous insect from Miaojiang?"
After hearing Gu Feixue's words revealing the true depths of the sea, Doctor Xu's eyes seemed to brighten considerably. "Miss, how did you know this?"
"I've seen it before, and it always worked," said Gu Feixue, fearing that her words would hurt Doctor Xu's pride, and she hurriedly explained, "I heard that the true harm of the Gu worm is the eggs, and as long as you find the mother Gu, you can get the eggs out, and then use medicine to mix it up, and the person will be cured. Is that right?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu immediately nodded.
"But where can we find the mother Gu? I've consulted several Miao doctors in Yunnan, and they all agree that we must find the mother Gu to treat it. But where exactly is the mother Gu? We can't find it."
The emperor, on the other hand, suddenly stood up during their discussion, which was almost like an argument. "I feel fine, so please stop trying to light a lamp. My time is almost up, and if I can live well, I will be pleasantly surprised."
Hearing this, Xu Ruoruo stopped talking.
As for Yuchi Shuo, he was already kneeling beside his father's bed.
The emperor stretched out his hand, and his rough palm stroked Yuchi Shuo's hair and face.
At this moment, Gu Feixue approached Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu was also about to leave, and Gu Feixue asked, "Shall I see you off?"
After all, it was not convenient for the two of them to stay in the inner room, so they hurried out. After leaving the Qiankun Hall, both of them felt much more relaxed. Gu Feixue took a deep breath, and the depressed feeling in her heart disappeared.
As long as you are in the magnificent Qiankun Palace, the solemn and majestic feeling will oppress people and make them breathless. This feeling of suffocation is not only experienced by Gu Feixue, but also by Doctor Xu.
As the two of them walked out, Gu Feixue began to talk to herself, "There's something I'm not sure whether I should say or not."
"You ask." Doctor Xu looked at Gu Feixue.
He also knows Gu Feixue very well.
It can be said that this girl, who goes by the pseudonym Xue Gongzi, has a magnificent history. Whether in Liangcheng, Jiangzhou, or any other place, the places where Gu Feixue once lived are always legendary.
"As long as we find the mother Gu, can we cure the emperor's illness?"
"Yes." Doctor Xu nodded.
Gu Feixue continued, "Can you operate it?"
"I've seen it in ancient books. It doesn't matter whether it works or not now. The emperor won't live long, so it won't hurt to give it a try." Hearing this, Gu Feixue felt reassured.
She also wanted to do a X-ray to make sure that the poisonous insect in Yuchi Shuo's body was the panacea that could save the emperor's life.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Feixue returned again.
The emperor had made all the instructions and plans, and Gu Feixue stood at the door, looking at a loss as to what to do.
Seeing her hesitation, the emperor smiled kindly and said, "Next time, just come in. Why bother lingering at the door?"
"You two are chatting... Logically, this subject should retreat."
Hearing this, the Emperor smiled and said, "Why bother? I have already tacitly agreed that you will be his Crown Princess. You will also be the future Empress. Am I just trying to appease your hunger with empty promises?"
Only then did Gu Feixue enter.
She understood that the arrogant emperor had recognized her, and her identity had been subtly changed in the dark. Now Gu Feixue was the emperor's most trusted person.
When they reached the bedside, the emperor gave another earnest admonition, "From now on, you must support each other and help each other. This is all I can arrange for you."
"Your Majesty, don't worry," Gu Feixue saw through his eyes and found that there was a red wireworm slowly wriggling in the emperor's heart, and there was also an identical one in Yuchi Shuo's heart.
"Your Majesty, do you know when this Gu was placed there and by whom?"
"I have never noticed this. Maybe someone didn't poison my food." Yes, he had someone special to taste his meals three times a day. If there was really a problem, those people would have died long ago.
Seeing that the emperor couldn't trace it back, Gu Feixue could only speak directly. "I just talked to Doctor Xu. Doctor Xu said that there are two types of Gu worms: the mother and the child. Only the mother can be used to get the child out. If the time limit is exceeded and the Gu worm cannot be removed, the host will die."
"I know."
Doctor Xu had told the emperor about these things before, and the emperor still remembers them clearly.
Gu Feixue continued, "If the host dies, the person with the Ohmu Gu in their body will also die. Your Majesty, this is called destroying everything together."
"You harm others to benefit yourself," the emperor clenched his fists. "Over the years, I don't know how many people I've offended. What am I doing? The people are working diligently, and if I don't do something that satisfies everyone, you all attack me."
"When I was in the court, if I made a mistake, they would cut me into pieces. I was so tired. Now that I am almost done, I feel relieved."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"I just asked around, as long as we can find the mother Gu!"
