Chapter 185: My Old Heavenly Universe
Gu Qingxuan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his facial features were twisted together painfully, every cough was like a knife and saw raging in his internal organs, a mouthful of blood spurted out from the corners of his mouth, he was coughing with all his strength, but his strength would also be exhausted, he couldn't cough anymore, he fell on the edge of the bed, his hands tightly clutched the quilt, still unwilling to rest......
"Uncle, you hold on a little longer, you open your eyes, you open your eyes, uncle......"
Jiang Xiange lay on the edge of the couch, calling him anxiously, not daring to let him faint again, because the doctor said that if he fell into a coma again, he didn't know if he could wake up, and her forehead was also covered with beads of sweat, she didn't care about wiping it, she only stretched out her hand, and kept wiping Gu Qingxuan, helping him calm down and feeding him medicine.
When he knocked over the medicinal soup, she took another bowl and begged him to open his mouth and drink a little ......
The room was in chaos, no matter whether Gu Qingxuan woke up or fainted, they were all panicked, like facing a great enemy, and the illness tortured Gu Qingxuan, and also tortured each and every one of them......
She stayed by Gu Qingxuan's couch, Yang Rongan stayed by her side, helping her take care of Gu Qingxuan, she hadn't closed her eyes for a few days and nights, and she hadn't eaten or sold, Yang Rongan looked anxious, but she didn't dare to persuade her.
Before Gu Qinghuan went out, he wanted to come to Jiang Xiange to talk and ask her about Jiang Hechuan, but seeing such a scene, he thought that Jiang Xiange had no intention of taking care of anything else, so he had to put the matter aside first, he first went to ask the famous doctor to come back to treat Gu Qingxuan, and then went to Hong Luotian to investigate the missing swordsman.
At sunset, Zhang Shengyue came to the Gu Mansion with a person.
At this time, Gu Qingxuan's condition deteriorated a little, and the old imperial doctor Tang Zhiqian was giving him an injection to relieve the pain, and the two white eyebrows frowned together, and they couldn't be decomposed for a long time.
Gu Qingning finished his work and came to visit his father's sickbed, at this time Tang Bo led Dr. Zhang and others into the room, and Gu Qingning went out of the inner room to meet them.
Seeing the person coming, Gu Qingning was stunned for a while, and then he was overjoyed, thinking that Gu Qingxuan was saved, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Thank you Dr. Hua for coming to ......."
Of course, she recognized that this was Hua Ruotian's father, the current head of the Western medicine Wang family, Hua Jingting Hua Shen Doctor.
Hua Jingting also remembered her, at Hua Ruotian's funeral, he had a relationship with the Gu family's sisters and brothers, and he didn't dare to forget that it was this woman who snatched the Panruodan from his daughter Hua Ruotian......
But he didn't know that Gu Qingning's impression of him was not just one side, it was he who let Gu Qingning know about a drug like Han Dansan, so to speak, he changed Gu Qingning's life.
This is the fate between people, who would have thought that the inconspicuous one of the inconspicuous patients who came and went in Tongdetang would later affect the life and death of his daughter?
What you meet, what you see, may not be what you see at all......
Sometimes, one of the thousands of encounters rubs shoulders, and two unrelated fates intersect unconsciously, but no one can see through it, and fate blinds everyone......
Hua Jingting replied indifferently and walked towards the inner room: "I'll go and see Master Gu first." ”
Gu Qingning knew that Hua Jingting might still be worried about Hua Ruotian's affairs, so he didn't say much, so he respectfully retreated to the side and invited him in: "Okay, there is Dr. Lao Hua to treat my father, and the old imperial doctor Tang is also ......."
When Dr. Hua heard this, he suddenly laughed and walked briskly inside.
Gu Qingning felt puzzled, turned his head and asked Zhang Shengyue, "Is this ...... Doctor Zhang, how did you get Dr. Hua? I haven't heard of you having a relationship with Dr. Hua before? What happened to him and Old Doctor Tang?"
Zhang Shengyue listened to the voice of Dr. Lijian Hua greeting the old imperial doctor, laughed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's just a very simple story, a young man with mediocre qualifications from a humble background came to a medical family, and studied medicine with the son of a family who became famous and talented as a young man, and later opened a small medical hall on the streets of Chang'an to survive, and the other was known as a miracle doctor and entered the Tai Hospital, and the scenery was infinite......"
"This is the story of you and Doctor Hua, Doctor Zhang?" Gu Qingning was amused by his self-deprecating attitude, watching Hua Jingting and Tang Zhiqian's old imperial doctor fight, she asked again: "Don't they deal with each other either?"
Doctor Zhang shrugged his shoulders and said: "Huada Divine Doctor has been looking at me unpleasantly all my life, and I have also looked at him unpleasantly, and Tang Lao Imperial Doctor, our fellow uncle, looks at us unpleasantly, heh, the three of us are like this, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, I told him, Tang Lao Imperial Doctor can't cure Master Gu, and Hua Divine Doctor will come......"
Gu Qingning understood, and was very grateful in his heart, and gave him a salute: "Thank you Dr. Zhang for doing such a hard job for my father." ”
Zhang Shengyue returned the salute and sighed: "Miss, you are polite, this is what I should do...... I also hate myself for not being able to save Master Gu for my lack of medical skills, but I can't give up a little possibility......"
……
In the middle, Hua Jingting was on the side of the couch to check Gu Qingxuan's pulse and observe his condition, and the old imperial doctor Tang blew his beard and stared at him and stood aside, he didn't believe what else Hua Jingting could do.
A quarter of an hour later, Hua Jingting withdrew his hand, his face was as usual, he looked at Gu Qingxuan in a coma, and then turned to Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning immediately stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my father's condition?"
Hua Jingting didn't reply, stood up with his hands folded, and said indifferently: "Miss Gu, you should still remember that Prajna Pill, right? Where is it now?
Gu Qingning was stunned, Tang Zhiqian was also shocked when he heard him mention the Pranya Dan, as if he had a memory, and then before she opened her mouth to reply, he mocked: "Doctor Hua, are you confused? Even if there is a Pranyo Dan, it is only a medicine that resolves all poisons, and it is not a miracle medicine to bring the dead back to life, what is the benefit of Lord Gu's condition?"
"Old Imperial Doctor Tang, are you so old that you can't even hear clearly?" Hua Jingting rolled his eyes, unceremoniously slammed back, shook his hand and said, "Did I say that I would use the Prajna Pill to cure Lord Gu?
Tang Zhiqian was so angry with him that he stomped his feet, and he was pitiful at the age of seventy, and his face was gone, "Presumptuous! How dare you talk to your uncle like this......?"
Hua Jingting snorted indifferently: "What do you believe? Uncle, what else can you do with me? Sue my father? Oh, my father has passed away, and no one will help you treat me." I've been putting up with you in the hospital for decades, and I'm still restless after I retire...... I'm mistaking people everywhere."
In the face of Hua Jingting's sharp mouth, Tang Zhiqian was obviously deflated, so angry that his chest hurt, and he couldn't reply to his mouth, so he could only light another war fire, he pointed at Zhang Shengyue, and shouted: "You just let your junior brother talk to me like this?"
Zhang Shengyue was more willing to watch a good show on the sidelines, so he didn't want to get involved, so he stepped back and said: "I'm just a man in the rivers and lakes, how can I talk to you, this is a matter between your imperial doctors, you quarrel, don't get involved with me." ”
Gu Qingning didn't have the patience to listen to the quarrel between the three of them, and wanted to get back to the point, she asked Tang Bo to lead Zhang Shengyue and Tang Zhiqian to the tearoom to rest, Jiang Xiange stayed to take care of Gu Qingxuan, and she and Hua Jingting went to the side hall to discuss matters.
"Doctor Hua, the Prajna Pill is indeed still there, if you want to go back, I will have someone send the pill, and please try your best to heal your father regardless of your past suspicions. She said.
"Pranyadan was made by my daughter, and I saved you people, but you didn't save people, and you took it for yourself afterwards, and I always wanted to come and get it back from you, and now it's time to reckoning. Don't worry, I'm here, your father won't die, but if you don't get it, the result will be difficult to say......" Hua Jingting's mouth was unforgiving, and he couldn't have said it more bluntly.
Gu Qingning understood what he meant, so he immediately wrote a handwritten letter and asked Tang Bo to send it to Zhijingting urgently, and asked Fusu to send the Prajna Dan.
While waiting, Gu Qingning sent the other doctors away, and Zhang Shengyue and Tang Lao Imperial Doctor also said goodbye.
Tang Zhiqian was still in a state of shame and indignation, muttering all kinds of accusations to Hua Jingting, he didn't believe that Hua Jingting could cure Gu Qingxuan, after all, he was an old imperial doctor who had practiced medicine for decades, and he knew very well that all this was not as easy to solve as Hua Jingting had shown.
Zhang Shengyue is not sure that Hua Jingting is completely sure, but he has nothing to do, and can only hope that Hua Jingting can turn things around.
"It's ridiculous, how can he deal with it? It's just a matter of saying it! Obviously you can't go back to heaven, Doctor Zhang, why can't you accept the reality? If you find someone surnamed Hua to stir it up, I'm afraid he will only make the Gu family happy for a ......while."
Zhang Shengyue interrupted his negative words, looked back at the gate of the Gu Mansion, and looked at the gate of the Gu Mansion with a calm gaze, "I am not as old as you, and I have not been an imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital for decades, but I have dealt with this family for decades, and I have seen more than one miracle happen to them...... So, I believe that they can, and they can, ......"
……
But half an hour, it was dark, and Fusu arrived.
Gu Qingning arranged for Fusu to see Hua Jingting in the Gu family's study, and she signaled to clear the field, and only the three of them were left in the room.
Fusu took out the Pranya Dan, along with a note, and handed it to Hua Jingting.
After Hua Jingting read the two words on the note, his face immediately changed, his hands began to tremble, and he asked Fusu: "Who are you? How do you know this ......?"
Gu Qingning saw the word "human blood" written on the note, she looked at Fusu with a cold expression suspiciously, and suddenly realized that this was a very important moment - the only remaining descendants of the two major medical families of the East and the West had completed their meeting here.
Fusu looked at her and nodded to her, Gu Qingning understood what she meant, so she confessed to Hua Jingting on her behalf: "This Fusu girl is the only descendant of the Su family, the king of Western medicine. ”
Sure enough, the words were like thunder, which surprised Hua Jingting, he couldn't speak for a while, looked at the brocade box containing Prajnadan in his hand, and then looked at Fusu, and then sighed continuously: "It's no wonder, it's no wonder...... I couldn't have imagined that the Su family still had blood......"
Seeing that Hua Jingting had some tears in his eyes, Gu Qingning asked him to sit down first, calmed down his emotions, and told him that Fusu couldn't speak.
"Doctor Hua, what does the word 'human blood' mean?" she asked.
Hua Jingting looked at Fusu, and after she nodded in agreement, she told Gu Qingning: "Pranya Dan, just add a taste of raw materials, and it will become an 'elixir', that is, human blood ......."
"Elixir?" Gu Qingning couldn't believe it and asked him.
Hua Jingting was instructed by Fusu and told Gu Qingning a shocking secret-
The descendants of the two major medicine king families in the East and West confronted each other and finally unveiled the mystery of Prajna Dan.
It turns out that the Prajna Pill that is now known to the world is indeed just a miracle medicine that can cure all poisons, but if it is refined with human blood, then it is an "elixir" that can cure all diseases and make people live for 30 years.
To refine a potion it takes all of a person's blood to drain it.
Prajna Dan was jointly refined by the ancestors of the two major medicine kings of the East and the West, and it was originally a miracle medicine that blindly cured all poisons, and it was of great benefit to the world.
But I didn't expect that when the emperor pursued the art of immortality, the Su family worked for it for the sake of power and discovered the connection between Pranya Dan and the "elixir".
In fact, their Hua family had already discovered the mystery of the "elixir", and the emperor had planned to rely on them to refine the elixir, but they kept the secret, firstly because they couldn't refine the Prajna Dan, and secondly, because the truth behind it was too cruel. The Hua family concealed these things, and it was useless, which caused the Hua family to lose power and decline.
The Su family found the only four Tianxin grasses in the world for the first emperor, and used the blood of three of them and three people to refine three "elixirs", one of which was used to test the medicine, one was taken by the first emperor, and one was missing.
The last Tianxin Grass was obtained by the Hussar General's Mansion, and Hua Ruotian used it to refine the Prajna Pill in front of them.
Gu Qingning was shocked, guessing that Hua Ruotian would die, did she use her own blood to refine this Pranyo Dan?
Hua Jingting denied it, confessing that Hua Ruotian really just wanted to refine the world's first miraculous medicine Pranyo Dan and reach the peak of her medical skills, and did not want to refine the 'elixir'.
Whether she really died of illness, Hua Jingting didn't want to say it explicitly, only saying that her death also played a role in covering people's eyes, she didn't want people to know that there was really an "elixir" in this world, and even planned to say in the end that she had not refined the Prajna Dan.
However, she didn't expect that Gu Qingning would go to her for medicine at that time, and in order to save the county lord, she had to confess that she had refined the Prajna Dan.
Gu Qingning thought that Hua Ruotian's death might be that she wanted to extinguish her own mouth, because she was the only person in this world who could refine the Prajna Pill, and if she refined the medicine and survived, she would definitely be targeted by those with ulterior intentions.
The one in their hands was only the Detoxification Pill, and it was also the last Prajna Pill refined from the last Tianxin Grass, which was the last raw material of the "elixir".
If this medicine was really eaten by the county lord, there would be nothing else, but the county lord didn't take it, and the Pranya Dan fell into the hands of the Gu family.
Hua Jingting came here today, and he was so eager to ask for Pranya Dan, in fact, the biggest reason was that he didn't want the Gu family to cause trouble because of this.
"However, is there really a so-called 'elixir'? If the Su family really refined it back then, why did the first emperor still die of illness? If it was really refined back then, why did the first emperor use Yin Jiheng to exterminate the Immortal Sect? Is it to keep it a secret? This doesn't make sense...... In the final analysis, there is no way to verify it, right?" Gu Qingning expressed puzzlement.
Fusu has actually been thinking about this problem, and she said that she believes that the Su family really refined medicine back then.
As for their Su family, as well as the entire Immortal Sect, why did they fall?
Why didn't the emperor survive?
Hua Jingting recalled the past and sighed long, "We have no way of knowing this......"
……
"Back then, in the Anhua Palace, he summoned five concubines, Queen Wang, Concubine Li Guifei, and Concubine Dong Shu...... They were scared, and I was scared too......"
In Kunhua Palace, she leaned on the warm back, lazily playing with the peerless jade hook and loop, although she was nearly half a hundred years old, the eyebrows under her eyes were still full of grace, the corners of her lips were hooked, and her ink-colored eyes were shining like gems, unfathomable.
There are only her and Aunt Yan in the dormitory, so she can remove the dignified style of the Queen Mother, sit and lie down casually, and tell the most reliable people the secrets she has buried in her heart for many years.
"The Emperor...... It's horrible...... Ever since he contracted the disease, he's been insane...... He was so afraid of death, he would always wake up in his sleep, and he would think of me as an assassin, and he would talk and dream at night, and he would shout at him that he didn't want to die......"
"He's the most death-scared guy I've ever met...... And the most cruel ...... No, except for me......"
Aunt Yan spoke, her voice was like sandpaper, hoarse and harsh, but her tone was as calm as ice, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, "So back then, it was the Queen Mother who you tried for the first emperor?"
"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be me who is the queen mother now, it may be Concubine Li Guifei and Concubine Dong Shu...... Heh, fortunately they all flinched, they didn't dare to ...... They are also afraid of death. The first emperor said that whoever is willing to test the medicine will appoint his son as the prince, and draw up the decree on the spot...... We have been fighting for so many years, and he has made the throne a bargaining chip with one sentence, making our years of fighting meaningless......" She hooked the porcelain cup containing the wine with her jade fingers, took a sip, and enjoyed the taste of the wine.
"They're all afraid of death...... No one dared to take that pill, only me......"
Aunt Yan asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid of death......"
"Then why do you dare to try the medicine?"
"Because I don't have a choice," she said. The queen is stupid, they think they have a choice, they think they are facing a Ming Jun, they don't understand that they are facing a madman, whether they try the medicine or not, we here will die after all, because we have snooped on his secrets, and he will not let us live......"
"At that time, I was thinking, even if I really died at that time, then my son would become the future emperor, and my nickname would be so-and-so Xiansheng Empress Dowager, if I didn't try, I would be just an inconspicuous one of the countless women who died silently in the harem, just like Queen Wang, Li Guifei, ......"
Aunt Yan said: "Fortunately, you won the bet." ”
She burst out laughing, and her eyes were filled with mad pleasure: "Yes, I won the bet." I let them strangle me by the neck with white silk and suffocate me...... Then, the emperor personally fed me the pill......"
"For three days and three nights, I had no memory at all, and the emperor said that I was lying on his dragon couch like a real dead man...... Then, after three days and three nights, I lived. ”
"He was really patient, he guarded me for three days and three nights, after I lost my breath, the first emperor issued a decree, and made my son the crown prince, and the other concubines thought that I was dead, and they saved their lives, they were very proud, they thought they could turn the tables, but what in the end?...... What a stupid woman......"
Aunt Yan poured her another glass of wine and said, "In the end, you came back to life, and they died mysteriously and violently soon after......
"Yes, I survived, I won the battle for the throne, and I won the trust of the emperor......"
"The Emperor trusted you......? Even if he believes you, he won't keep you, right? The destruction of the Immortal Sect means that the former emperor will not allow anyone who knows the 'elixir' to remain in the world, in order to extinguish the mouth, in order to keep the secret, he instructed Yin Jiheng to destroy the Immortal Sect, leaving no one alive...... But why didn't you put your mouth out in the end? You're the only one who knows the truth?"
"Yes," she said, "trust doesn't mean he won't kill me." I saw very clearly that he needed someone to feed him the 'elixir' when he was dying, but that person would only live until he woke up......"
"So, I can't wake him up......"
Aunt Yan trembled a little, and asked in surprise: "Finally...... You didn't feed him the medicine......"
"Nope. ”
She closed her palms, clenched her fists, her double hooks disappeared in her palms, and the tendons on the back of her hands bulged: "I did feed him the elixir, but I didn't follow what he said, blocked the news, guarded him in front of his dragon couch for three days and three nights, and waited for him to ......wake up."
"After he died, I immediately let people in and announced to them that the emperor had died......"
"On the third day, they sealed the coffin ......"
"It's so heavy, it's a thick coffin......"
