Chapter 106: Long time no see, modern times...
Shen Zhiwei didn't want to give up Hu Youan easily.
Qingzhu was the only doctor who could accompany Hu Youan throughout his military career, so she was solely responsible for Hu Youan's illness. Now Hu Youan has returned to Shengdu, where there are many good doctors. Perhaps there is a doctor who is good at conditioning and can help Hu Youan die of old age?
So, at Shen Zhiwei's request, a group of doctors skilled in this field and Qingzhu started a consultation.
This should be the first consultation in the Dajing era, and it will not be the last, because the doctors participating in the consultation soon discovered the benefits of this model.
In the future, they can try it when encountering difficult and complicated diseases. After all, if there is a first consultation, there can be a second one. With the emperor's endorsement, even if they use the ancestral methods, the ancestors cannot scold them for being ungrateful or useless for not being able to protect the family property.
A group of doctors gathered together and argued about Hu Youan. Qingzhu was among them and didn't know how to start. Because Qingzhu's best skill was not to regulate people's bodies, but to perform surgery. She could still speak in the early stage, but in the later stage, what the group of doctors who were good at internal medicine said seemed a bit fantastic to Qingzhu, and she couldn't get a word in.
In the end, this group of doctors actually worked out a few methods that might be able to delay the disease for a few years.
It is impossible to cure him. The chronic diseases caused by injuries sustained on the battlefield over the years, as well as the damage caused by various forced marches, made Hu Youan not die on the spot. It was because Qingzhu discovered it early.
Shen Zhiwei felt indescribably disappointed after learning the result. She had thought she could wait for a miracle, but it turned out not to be the case.
There is no miracle. At most, it can be delayed for three to five years. If you are unlucky, it may not even be delayed for a year.
After hearing the conclusion, Hu Youan, the person involved, had a calm reaction. She had already accepted the fact that she would die, and it made no difference to her whether she died early or late.
She spoke out her demands for the first time.
"No matter what happens next, please keep my dignity. If I have to spend my last days in bed as a useless person, then I would rather die like this."
Hu Youan thought about it for a long time and she was sure that she could not accept herself as a disabled person at all.
When people get old, they have more health problems and often end up paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of themselves. Hu Youan simply couldn't imagine that her body was old, but her soul was still young, and her self-esteem did not allow her to become a person who needed others to serve her in order to survive.
Besides, there will never be a good day. Every day is torture. Why prolong the torture?
Several doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the older doctors stepped forward and said bluntly, "General, if you really want to maintain your current abilities every day, I'm afraid your life span will be greatly shortened."
To put it bluntly, if you want to be active all day long and not stay in bed, the original three to five years may become one or two years.
"Just do your best."
Hu Youan's attitude was unexpectedly firm, and no matter who said it, it was useless.
The patient's wishes must come first. Even Shen Zhiwei couldn't persuade him, so the doctors finally compromised and gave Hu Youan all kinds of strong medicine.
In the year that followed, Hu Youan's health remained good, and sometimes she seemed even better than before, but everyone knew that this was just an illusion, and none of the doctors who treated her could walk out of the palace with a smile on their faces.
It was the winter of the sixth year of the Yuantian reign of the Dajing Emperor. The empire lost its pearl. Hu Youan passed away at the age of thirty-six.
On the day of the funeral, snow was falling all over the sky. The emperor sent the coffin out of the palace, and the crown prince personally carried the coffin and escorted the meritorious official all the way to the outside of the imperial mausoleum in the Western Hills. He allowed Hu You to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Since then, the grand scene has never faded and the incense has never stopped.
All the officials followed him to the outside of the imperial mausoleum and cried bitterly. The cries shook the heavens and made people feel heartbroken.
Shen Zhiwei stood on the top floor of the Zhaixing Tower, the tallest building in the imperial palace. The sixteen-story building was high enough to overlook the entire Shengdu, but she could not see the Western Hills in the distance. She could faintly hear crying coming from the cold wind, and she didn't know whether it was the people spontaneously seeing Hu Youan off, or she was hallucinating.
"It's getting dark."
Looking at the gloomy clouds in the distance, Shen Zhiwei murmured softly, his expression dazed.
Many years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of Yuanfeng, Shen Zhiwei, who had been in this world for twenty-two years, had not yet gathered enough achievement points to return home, but she had completed the main quest.
Shen Zhiwei had never expected that it would take her twenty-two years to change the essence of the feudal state into a new type of semi-feudal and semi-capitalist state system.
She also didn't expect that the main quest, which she thought was completely useless, would suddenly pop up with a completion prompt, and all the achievement points she had painstakingly saved for half her life would now become money that she could take back to reality.
Not to mention that this money is enough for her to live a good life in modern times, even if she wants to help the entire country live a good life, she will work hard to do so.
The system popped up a prompt, asking her to choose a time to leave.
A month, a year, and a lifetime.
Shen Zhiwei finally chose one year.
She couldn't stay in this world forever. She wasn't even forty yet, so who knew how old she would be? And her prince was already eighteen. If she lived too long, wouldn't the prince become an old prince?
Is there any prince in the world who has been the crown prince for thirty or forty years?
Moreover, while Gui Yang and Wen Tao are still young and can stabilize the government, she can rest assured in handing the country over to the prince. If she waits until they are gone, Shen Zhiwei will be very worried about the prince.
The prince should give Gui Yang and Wen Tao a good ending. She has been taught by Wen Tao since she was a child, and Gui Yang has always been loyal to the country and has never had any second thoughts. The two of them have no offspring until now, which shows that they are really devoted to the country and will not have any other thoughts.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiwei no longer had any other concerns. She used her last year to pave the way for the prince, arrange regent ministers, and teach the prince to gradually take charge of state affairs and gradually withdraw from the country where she had stayed for more than 20 years.
Chaoyang seemed to have sensed something. She had been resisting entering the court in the early days, but Shen Zhiwei forced her to do so. Even so, she still felt a lot of grievances in her heart. She had been a sensitive child since she was young. Shen Zhiwei knew that the child had sensed her purpose.
Unfortunately, as the crown prince, Chaoyang can never refuse to participate in state affairs. She is destined to take over the country, so how can she retreat?
The last day arrived quickly, and the countdown on the system panel showed only two hours left. Shen Zhiwei did not call anyone, nor did she pretend to be sick before to justify her departure. She just wrote several edicts, which were filled with her final arrangements for the country.
Especially Crown Prince Chaoyang. Even though the child has become a monarch who can stand on his own, Shen Zhiwei is still worried, worried that the child will be under too much pressure and will not be able to bear it in the end.
But soon she will leave this world, and everything in this world will become a dream, a distant dream that she can never touch again, just like when she first came to this world, everything was just a game.
Looking back on the more than twenty years since she came into this world, she had been proud, disappointed, and thought about giving up, but in the end she worked hard for half her life. Fortunately, she did not let down those who trusted her, nor did she let down the world.
If you think about it carefully, her merits outweigh her faults, and she can be considered a qualified monarch.
"System, send me home."
The time she has spent in this world is almost catching up with the time she has spent in modern times, but she still regards modern times as her hometown and says she is going home.
She hadn't left any real bloodline in this world, wasn't that a rejection of it? She had never considered this world her second home.
[Host, please be prepared. The world is being withdrawn...]
After the system's message popped up, a little white light appeared in front of Shen Zhiwei, and then the white light gradually expanded, gradually engulfing Shen Zhiwei's surroundings, including her body.
The white light was so dazzling that Shen Zhiwei couldn't look directly at it and had to close his eyes.
Darkness came, and she left this world without knowing it. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in another world.
Modern, a person lying in bed gradually opens his eyes.
The blurry ceiling made Shen Zhiwei unable to recover for a long time. She sat up from the bed. The soft touch, the black screen of the mobile phone at hand, the glasses on the bedside table, everything was so strange and familiar.
After putting on the glasses, Shen Zhiwei heard a message alert tone.
She looked at the lit screen of her phone, which showed that five million yuan had been deposited into her bank card.
Then the familiar system panel appeared in front of him.
Dear host Shen Zhiwei, hello. This is the game evaluation system. Congratulations on passing the evaluation for the game "The Last Dynasty" and obtaining the achievement of "Lord of the Fallen Nation" as well as the achievement of "Wise Ruler of the Founding Nation". The bonus for the achievement of "Lord of the Fallen Nation" is available for claiming, while the bonus for the achievement of "Wise Ruler of the Founding Nation" has been received. You have earned 47,987,400 achievement points in the game, which can be freely exchanged for any current national currency. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
The long text on the system panel made Shen Zhiwei's heart stagnate. Before she saw the content clearly, she thought she still hadn't left that world.
After reading the content, Shen Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the string of zeros on the account, she didn't feel much.
After being an emperor for so many years, money is really the least valuable number to her. She is no longer an ordinary office worker who has lived in modern times for many years, so her desire for money is not that great.
But she will probably change her mind after she enjoys the life of a modern rich person.
Shen Zhiwei stepped out of bed wearing the slippers beside the bed and walked to the window.
The night before she traveled through time, she played with her phone until very late. She was more like dead than asleep, so she didn't draw the curtains.
Open the window and fresh air rushes into the house, along with the noisy sounds outside.
At this point, she finally stepped into the human world again.
"Long time no see, Hyundai."
