When the internal eunuch sent by the emperor to announce the decree arrived at the Anjun Palace, Zhu Qing had just taken his last breath. If the spleen is ruptured, the only way is to have surgery, but Taohua can't do it. She tried all the methods, but she couldn't stop the bleeding, and Zhuqing died in hemorrhagic shock without a sound.

Mrs. Choi had been sitting stiffly in the outer hall, moving her body from time to time, as if there was a needle sitting under her buttocks. She wanted to rush inside and ask Taohua when she would be willing to leave to save Governor Cui, but she finally came to her senses and told her that this was the Anjun Palace, and she had better sit still, and beg God to bless Zhuqing's girl to live.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that it was really not a wise thing for her to send Zhuqing with great fanfare just now, if Zhuqing died, the people outside knew that the princess of the county also had people who could not be cured - Mrs. Cui thought of the eyes of King Anjun when she just came in, and couldn't help but be smart, she was really dizzy today, how could she do such a thing, if she couldn't do it, this would offend the county king's mansion!

"Madam, I'm afraid that Zhuqing is, I'm afraid it's not very good......" Bailing followed Mrs. Cui over, and just now she had been watching Taohua treat Zhuqing inside, and then she came out with a pale face, "Slave and maid look-the princess of the county, the princess of the county has already shaken her head......"

"This is bad......" Mrs. Cui's face also turned pale. This can be regarded as offending the princess of the county!

"None of you are allowed to mention this again!" It's not too late to make amends, Mrs. Cui cheered up and taught the two maids a lesson, "It's the thrush that I sent to the princess of the county for treatment today, and the girl who died at home is Zhuqing, have you remembered it?" ”

Thrush and lark looked at each other. But both of them are big girls, so naturally there are no stupid people, so they were stunned for a moment and nodded again and again. It was the thrush that came in lying down, and then walked out of the county king's mansion, which was naturally the county princess's medical skills. As for the bamboo green...... People are dead, what else is there to say?

"You just looked, and the person is gone?" Mrs. Cui looked at the sky outside the window and it was already dark, even if Taohua promised to go to Governor Cui's mansion for treatment, she would not be able to set off early tomorrow morning, she knew that Zhuqing could not be cured, so it was better not to send her, now it not only affected the reputation of the princess of the county, but also delayed time......

"The slave maid is out of breath when she looks at it...... "In fact, the main reason is that the princess of the county has stopped, and Bai Ling estimates that it is touching, which means that the person is not saved."

"Why hasn't the princess come out yet?" Mrs. Cui is dying, and she really can't wait to set up a carriage now and send Taohua out of the capital to Fuzhou.

Bai Ling was about to speak, when a little maid ran in from outside and went straight inside: "Lord, princess, someone in the palace has come to announce the decree." ”

This will was an edict from the emperor, so that Taohua immediately set off and went to Fuzhou with the envoy of the Tai Hospital to treat the Cui Governor's Mansion. After all, he was also seriously injured in the war of national strength, and now he is asking the court for help, and the court naturally cannot sit idly by.

When Mrs. Cui heard this will, she felt that her breath suddenly relaxed, and her legs were so weak that she could barely stand up. Shen Shu frowned and glanced at Chu Yi. Chu Yi immediately stuffed a purse into the inner prisoner's hand, sent people out, and came back after a while: "Originally, the emperor only sent an envoy, and it was the queen mother who asked the princess to go with him." ”

"What does the Queen Mother want to do!" Shen Shu was extremely unhappy in his heart. He felt that something was wrong, Taohua was presiding over the pox at this time, and he was about to start planting pox in the capital when the pox seedlings were ready, not to mention that there were two pregnant women in the palace, Yuan Shufei and Lu Baolin, and the emperor would not send Taohua out at this time. After all, this is the princess of the county, not a doctor, and she is not just asked by anyone to heal.

"It should be that you just want to trouble me......" Taohua felt that the answer was obvious, "It is said that the Cui Governor's Mansion has been restrained by a group of doctors, and I have passed, but in fact, I may not be able to save it...... "This is what it is like to be a doctor, and if you cure a hundred people, you don't necessarily remember it, if one can't be cured, it's good to use it to make a fuss."

"The emperor only gave an edict-" Shen Shu groaned, "There is a holy decree there from the court envoy, so it can be seen that the emperor is also expecting this." "In this way, it is the envoy who is ordered to go, and Taohua is just going to help, and she can't be held accountable if she can't be cured.

"Anyway, I'd better go check it out." Momoka sighed. A Zhuqing has died, and Governor Cui can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

"Leaving now?" Shen Shu saw that it was already dark, and when he left the capital at this time, he could only rush to the night.

"Saving people is like fighting fire, time waits for no one." The envoy of the Tai Hospital was the emperor's holy decree, so he naturally set off overnight, and although Taohua only followed to help, he couldn't be left behind.

The will has already been made, even if Shen Shu is reluctant, it is difficult to stop him: "I can't go, you bring the first and fifteenth years of junior high school." ”

"If you are ordered to travel, the emperor will naturally send someone there, and ask Chu Yi to follow me, and the fifteenth is still by your side, and it is not good for him to be in such a hurry." Taohua thought for a moment, "You still have to use that medicine on time." "This time, acupuncture is going to stop again, if it's always like this, it's really a trouble.

Here, Shen Shu kept sending Taohua out of the city gate, but the queen mother in the palace smashed a jade bowl that had been used for a few days with a gloomy face: "She is so bold!" ”

Qingyu bent down to clean up the debris on the ground, and whispered: "Maybe the queen mother just took it for backup, and she didn't really ......" She couldn't say it herself halfway through, the queen stole the secret medicine, don't just put it away? Only a fool would believe it.

Of course, the Queen Mother is not a fool, her face is so heavy that she can scrape a layer of frost: "She must have used it on the Yuan family!" This is what she is most angry about - whether the Yuan family can give birth is a trivial matter, but she had obviously told the queen at the time that the Yuan family must tolerate the child, but the queen disobeyed the yin and yin, and actually stole her secret medicine in private and gave it to the Yuan family! Since when did the queen stop listening to her, and besides, she could act so naturally that she even hid it?

Thinking of the queen's mean and jealous appearance these days, which is not different from usual at all, the queen mother felt a little cold in her heart - when will the queen be able to act like this?

In fact, it is not a day or two that the queen is not very obedient, for example, Jiang Meihua's miscarriage, she has a different opinion from the queen mother. The Queen Mother originally wanted to give birth to Jiang Meihua and raise her in the queen's palace, but the queen went directly to get a cat. However, at that time, the queen was obviously unwilling, and then did not wait for the queen mother to suppress her, and from beginning to end, her performance was seen by the queen mother, and she also knew in her heart that Jiang Meihua's baby could not be saved.

But this time, the Queen Mother was a little worried several times, but the queen's performance was always timely and reasonably jealous and mean, and the Queen Mother didn't even see the clue at all. She always felt that the queen was in her hands, but at this time, she suddenly realized that the queen was no longer the queen she knew well.

Qingyu whispered: "But the princess of the county has not diagnosed any clues......

"Not to be underestimated." The Queen Mother said coldly, "The Jiang family may not have diagnosed anything now, but she also took Zhao's medical case away, but I'm afraid that she is already suspicious." ”

Qingyu opened her mouth and didn't speak. Although the princess of the county is young, her medical skills are outstanding, and she may not be able to see a disease that others can't diagnose.

The Queen Mother patted the armrest of the seat a little irritably, and said coldly after a while: "Dispose of Yuan's fetus." ”

Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while: "Niangniang-" Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to protect this baby before? Now, if you are afraid of people finding out, shouldn't you keep it?

The Queen Mother glared at her: "Don't take advantage of the Jiang family's departure from Beijing to deal with it, do you want to wait for her to come back?" "It's rare to have such an opportunity to let her branch out of the Jiang family, so naturally she has to do it quickly.

Qingyu didn't know some things, but she knew that the Yuan family was now showing signs of miscarriage, most likely because the queen had given the wrong amount of medicine. This secret medicine must be used only a little at a time, so as not to leave traces, but if it is used too much, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be diagnosed, thinking about the time when the virtuous concubine, she was in a hurry, and was almost caught by someone, if it was not for the timely countermeasures, it may not be her who is sitting on the queen mother now.

Speaking of which, maybe the Yu family is really in conflict with the Jiang family, wasn't it the little doctor Jiang who treated the slut of Concubine Xian back then? He really let him save the mother and son! Now that wild seed is still out of a table of talents, both civil and military, if it weren't for the death of the virtuous concubine in the end, the wild seed also fell into eye disease, whether the first emperor would suddenly decide to make him the prince when he was dying, it's hard to say. After all, the Yin family has 100,000 Northwest Army in their hands, and if they really come to support it, they have her handle in hand......

Until now, when the Queen Mother thinks of the events of that year, she feels a little afraid. At that time, she was still young, just like the current queen, she couldn't hold her breath when she encountered something. Don't you know that sometimes a little negligence can lead to a big mistake! The queen now has her protection on top, I don't know how much blessing it is, and I don't know how to cherish it. Who was on top of her? The old queen mother didn't even like the first emperor at all, let alone her as a concubine and daughter-in-law, so it was good not to stumble on her. Fortunately, the old queen mother was not in good health, and she went there within a few years, and she really lived a comfortable life.

"It's time to be chaotic...... "The Queen Mother muttered. There is not even a prince in the palace, the Yu family has the heart to support it, and who does it support? The emperor has two younger brothers, one Shen Shu needless to say, and the other is the prince, who was the second prince back then, but because he was weak and sickly, there was no hope of establishing a prince, and now he is closed with the title of a prince, and he enjoys Qingfu at home, not to mention that there is no voice in the court, that is, there are not many people in the capital who still know the prince.

But speaking of which, although Prince Zheng is the weakest, now he has two sons, although he is still young and does not seem to be very strong, but after all, he also has children, and he is stronger than his brothers.

As long as Lu Baolin gives birth to a son, it will be fine. The Queen Mother's mind couldn't help but fly to Tingyuju. Speaking of which, although the queen is bold and disobedient this time, she has not fainted in Lu Baolin's affairs, as long as she has a prince in her hand, the Yu family will be able to advance and retreat freely.

"Lu Shi, show me well, don't let anything go wrong!"

"Yes." Qingyu looked at the face of the Queen Mother, and said with a smile, "It is said that Lu Baolin is pregnant with a prince, as long as he is born safely, the emperor will have an heir." ”

"Three or four months away." The Queen Mother said lightly, "At this time, if you say that it is the prince, you can't do it accurately." ”

Qingyu knew that the Queen Mother said this, but she really hoped that she was a prince in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Lu Baolin has a sharp belly, and everyone who has seen it says that it is a male fetus." ”

In fact, not only looking at the stomach, the Queen Mother called the envoy of the Tai Hospital to go to the clinic, and also said that six or seven percent of them were male fetuses. Although the queen mother knew that the child would not be sure if it was not born, the envoy was experienced and cautious, and he said that six or seven percent, that was almost ninety percent likely.

Qingyu saw that the Queen Mother smiled a little, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. In the past two years, the Queen Mother has really aged a lot, and she combs the Queen Mother's hair every day, and she sees more and more gray hair.

The Queen Mother has always been well maintained, and her life is comfortable, although she is not young, there are very few gray hairs, occasionally one and a half, and when combing her hair, she can hide it in her black hair, and no one can see it. However, in the past two years, the Queen Mother's gray hair has become more and more, especially her temples, and she can still hide it with some effort, but now she can't hide it all no matter how much she thinks.

This point, even Cheng Enbo Yu Sirui also discovered, I didn't see that he entered the palace more often than before, and listened to the words of the queen mother, quietly dismissed some of the concubines in the house, and began to select the successor boys. The queen alone didn't find anything, and the commotion was even worse. If Lu Baolin really gave birth to a prince, I don't know if the queen will live in peace, or will she make more trouble because she has a prince in her hands?

Qingyu thought wildly, served the Queen Mother and rested, and went out to find someone by herself. Since the Queen Mother said that she would dispose of the fetus in Concubine Yuan Shufei's womb before the princess of the county came back, it would have to be faster. After all, Zhongxiu Palace is firmly regarded by the emperor, even though the Queen Mother has been in the harem for many years and has placed people everywhere, it takes a little effort to do such a trick. Fortunately, the prefect of Fuzhou heard that she was seriously injured, and even if the princess of the county passed, she would not be able to come back without being afraid for more than ten days, and there was still time.

However, things are always not quite the same as people think, Taohua went out for six days and returned to the capital.

"Sure enough, it can't be saved?" Shen Shu was talking to Wu Zheng in the study, and when he heard that Taohua was back, he hurriedly returned to the room, and when he saw Taohua's face, he knew that Governor Cui was definitely not good.

"The wound was not treated." Momoka shook her head.

Cui Zhifu is an anaerobic bacterial infection, the wound on the outside is not big, but there is already a large area of tissue necrosis inside, Taohua finally took the risk of removing the necrotic tissue, but Cui Zhifu was already very weak, and died a few hours after the operation.

Shen Shu's lips moved, but seeing Taohua's tired look, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth: "You wash up quickly, have a good rest, and I'll go to the palace to give the emperor a reply." "The envoy of the Tai Hospital has returned to the palace to resume his life, and Taohua is said to be just a helper, so there is no need to enter the palace. However, when people come back, it is also appropriate to go and talk back to the emperor, so as not to be said to be rude.

How could Tao Hua not see his expression, and smiled slightly: "Are you afraid that someone will say that Governor Cui is the one who killed me?" After all, when she saw Governor Cui, he still hung with ginseng tablets for a breath, and when she died after the operation, no one took the opportunity to make trouble.

Shen Shu shook her hand: "I know you want to save his life." But the people out there...... Besides, the Cui family is only afraid ...... "He can't trust these people in the Cui family now."

"The Cui family shouldn't be able to say anything." Taohua leaned on his shoulder, and his bones were about to fall apart in the past few days, and he was even more physically and mentally exhausted after an operation. After all, she is not a professional surgeon, although she has also taken classes in medical school, and she took the opportunity of Ding Langzhong's lecture in the northwest to review it again, but a non-professional is a non-professional, and it cannot be compared.

"Why?" Shen Shu frowned, "You can't think too well of people. The mother and daughter of the Cui family ...... "Taohua saves people on the street, which can make them resentful, not to mention that this time the Cui prefect dies, and the sky of the Cui family will fall."

"Cui Jing went with us." Taohua smiled faintly, "I signed a "Surgical Agreement" with him. "When she was in the northwest, she wanted to launch this thing, but at that time, it was mainly for the treatment of wounded soldiers, and no one was looking for trouble, and later she returned to the capital because of the promotion of pox, but she didn't care about it.

"What book?" Even if Shen Shu had heard a lot of new words here in Taohua, he didn't understand it for a while.

"It is to write down the reason for this operation, the patient's physical condition at the time, and what may happen after the operation...... Taohua sighed, "After Cui Jing saw this, he still agreed to do this operation, signed and signed, and I did it." In triplicate, one copy is in Cui Jing's hands, one copy is in my place, and the other copy is sent to the emperor by the envoy of the court. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Shen Shu was a little surprised, "How did you come up with that?" ”

Taohua thought that this was not uncommon in her previous life, but she said, "Actually, I thought about it when I was in the northwest. Isn't it ridiculous to have a deed to do business outside, and it's just a matter of money, like this important matter of human life, but there is no basis for it? To be honest, she didn't feel very relieved about the Cui family. It is the conscience of the healer to do his best to heal the sick and not give up some methods because it may affect his reputation, but he must also learn to protect himself and not be bitten by a white-eyed wolf.

Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, I'll talk to the emperor when I enter the palace, you can rest." He paused, turned around and walked back again, holding Taohua's hand and said, "I know you did your best." ”

Taohua put her head on his shoulder and whispered, "Actually, when I did that surgery, I knew that most of it still didn't work." "There is no sterile room, no antibiotics, the wound area is so huge, there is not one in a hundred who can survive, not to mention that Governor Cui has been with a high fever for several days, and he is already dying. Just like in the northwest, because of the lack of medicine and equipment, there were many wounded soldiers who died even after they were treated with all their might......

Shen Shu didn't know what to say. He could feel Taohua's powerlessness and sadness, but there was nothing he could do. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only say: "You have saved many people......

Taohua smiled at his words and sat up straight: "Yes." "She's done her best to save a lot of people, and she'll try to save more in the future, and that's enough for a healer.

At this moment, there was a cry in Cui's mansion. Mrs. Cui's eyes were a little straight, and she pulled her two sons and didn't let go: "What, why did the master go?" Didn't you say, didn't you say that people were still alive? The envoy of the Imperial Hospital and the princess of the county have gone, why are they gone? ”

Cui Jing was also physically and mentally exhausted back and forth, and endured his grief and said: "My father's body is too weak, and the court envoy is helpless when he sees it, and the princess of the county said that he wants to try surgery and rip off the rotten flesh of the wound......" He couldn't bear to say at this point. At that time, he had taken a look at the meat that had been cut off, and it was a big pile, and he was afraid that he would not be able to live if he dug up such a large piece of his body......

"Strip the meat?" Cui Youwan next to her suddenly raised her head, "My father's body is already weak, how can he still cut meat again?" Isn't this because of the flesh being stolen......"

Cui Min, the second son of the Cui family, has been staying by Cui Zhifu's side, and accompanied people to the capital, and knows Cui Zhifu's condition most clearly, hearing what the little sister said, he shook his head and said: "The princess of the county said that if you don't try this method, your father won't be able to delay it for long......

"Is what she says?" Cui Youwan stood up, "Is she an immortal?" But if you calculate carefully, how many people does she have that can't be cured? Zhuqing is not dead? Even in the northwest, I heard that she didn't cure the anthrax and smallpox! ”

Cui Min frowned and said, "Sister, you can't say things like that." At that time, all the Langzhong in Fuzhou City did not dare to take medicine, and the court envoy also ......, "If it weren't for the court envoy, he also said that he could only prepare for the future, and the two brothers would not have allowed the princess of the county to have that operation."

Cui Youwan's eyes burst out with a cold light: "Envoy? The envoy is afraid that he is in the same group as her, right? At the beginning, Cheng Enbo was violently ill in the Xiyuan Palace, and the hospital envoy was not cured at first, but then he suddenly changed the prescription and lived, and I heard that he received a note. ”

Mrs. Cui was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

Cui Youwan choked. At that time, in order to inquire about Shen Shu's whereabouts, she used her private house to buy off the palace people, and the matter of the note was inadvertently seen by the palace people, because she took Cui Youwan's silver money, and couldn't say any useful news, so she took something else to make up the number.

Speaking of which, it is no coincidence that this matter is not written, the palace people did find that the envoy received a note, but where the note came from, she didn't really know, just because Taohua lived nearby at the time, and casually speculated to deal with Cui Youwan. There is no basis for horizontal and vertical empty words, even if Cui Youwan talks about this, she can not admit it.

However, it was such a coincidence that the answer to the conjecture of the palace people was actually true. And Cui Youwan happened to really believe her words......

"Sister, there is no basis for this matter...... Cui Min still feels wrong, "After all, the princess of the county rushed from the capital to treat her father, and she is a benevolent ......."

"That's the emperor's will, she went!" Cui Youwan immediately retorted, "At that time, she didn't want to go at all in the county king's mansion. Mother begged her like that, didn't she want to treat Zhuqing's girl first? The result? Bamboo green can't be cured at all! ”

"Don't mention Zhuqing again." Mrs. Cui glared at her daughter, Zhu Qing's death was inseparable from Cui Youwan, and she couldn't avoid it, and she mentioned it vigorously, "However, the princess of the county was really not enthusiastic about saving the lord at that time." ”

"Mother-" Cui Jing sighed and took out a piece of paper, "It's useless to say anything now, the princess signed a deed with me before she had that operation." ”
