Section 72 Relapse of an old disease
"This time I left the palace for seven days, although I was a little rushed, my coughing and wheezing seemed to be a lot lighter. I think it's because of the warm weather. The Queen Mother just finished speaking, but coughed slightly twice. Liuquan and Zhu Yan hurriedly stepped forward, and Shu'e also stood up. Zhu Yan patted the Queen Mother's back and asked, "Do you want to invite an imperial doctor?" ”
"You're too careful, it's been a stubborn disease for years, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and it's commonplace...... cough cough" The Queen Mother coughed a few more times before she finished speaking.
A palace maid had already brought tea, and the Queen Mother took it and drank it before pressing it down. "If your throat is a little itchy, go get some Chuanbei loquat cream." Liuquan hurriedly agreed.
Saying that, the Queen Mother couldn't stop coughing a few times, and when Shu E saw Liuquan walking away, she also hurriedly stood up, held the Queen Mother's shoulder with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to gently pat the Queen Mother's back.
It was the first time for Shu E to look at the Queen Mother so closely, and she saw that the corners of her eyes and mouth already had a few fine and deep wrinkles, showing that she was not young. It's just that the forehead and cheeks are still moisturized and white, although they are not as tight as young people, but the skin is full and plump, I think it is because of proper maintenance.
The Queen Mother coughed more and more, and after a few coughs, she wheezed a little, and her face became red because of wheezing.
Asthma. Cough is the gradual asthma, wheezing will be accompanied by cough, and long-term cough will become asthma from mild to severe. Wheezing is incomprehensible, and every time it can be taken from wheezing to off.
Shu E was in a hurry for a while, but she just whispered "Niangniang", and her voice couldn't help but tremble. On that day, whether it was dealing with his wife who fainted due to anger and heartbeat, or Shuyan who was pregnant and mistakenly taking poison, Shu'e had never been so nervous. However, seeing the Queen Mother panting like this today, Shu'e's heart was tight.
The Queen Mother gasped for a while, slowly took Shu E's hand, and shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't matter anymore. Seeing that Shu'e was still very worried, she raised her hand and asked her to sit down.
Shu E sat on a small stool as she said, and saw that the Queen Mother drank a few sips of tea, her wheezing gradually stopped, and Shu E's heart that had been hanging was also put down.
"Mother, doesn't it matter?" Shu E couldn't help but ask. But he involuntarily left his seat.
"It's old, it doesn't matter." The Queen Mother nodded and said, while motioning for Shu E to sit down, seeing Shu E's concerned expression on her face, she smiled at her slightly, "I heard that you have been here twice today, why don't you order someone to report?" ”
"The slave maid originally wanted to come to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but there are many people today, and it is inconvenient." Shu E knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like her politeness, so she didn't get up anymore. Hearing that the Queen Mother no longer talked about coughing, it was not good to mention it again.
"'How inconvenient'? What is the inconvenience of meeting each other according to the usual courtesy? The mourning family has given you such a position, and no one wants to bully you? The Queen Mother was not angry, but there was a bit of majesty in her voice and tone, which made people feel solemn, although she coughed from time to time, but her tone was stable and abnormal, and it did not affect it in the slightest.
"When I ordered you to live in Qingshou Palace, I was worried that living with those concubines would inevitably be embarrassing. But you are also the head of the house, and when you meet Lu, you will meet Lu, and don't be too humble. After speaking, his tone has softened greatly, as if he is enlightening and comforting Shu'e.
Shu E was grateful, thinking that although the Queen Mother left herself in this palace, her grade, position, shelter, food and clothing were all very generous, and she had never been treated at all. Although the Queen Mother only needs a word to do these things, it is rare that the Queen Mother has such a mind and is willing to think about herself.
Shu E respectfully blessed her, "Thank you Queen Mother, the slave maid knows it." ”
