The most important thing is to save the life of the dying emperor within ten days.

Just a few days ago, when he visited the palace, the emperor was swollen, but his appearance was not as terrible as today, and he could barely say a few words. That's why he dared to take Xia Qingyun into the palace.

He called a few palace maids and eunuchs to inquire, and only then did he know that it was half an hour before they entered the palace that the emperor's condition took a sharp turn for the worse. And before the eunuch could pass on the imperial doctor, he and Xia Qingyun arrived.

If it was really as Xia Qingyun guessed, someone had laid down ten thousand insect Gu, then why did the person who placed the Gu choose to trigger the mother worm at this time?

Si Hongrui was puzzled, but he couldn't track it down at the moment. But as long as the emperor is still alive, he will definitely do it again, and he can only brake quietly and pay attention in secret.

He sent Xue'er out of the palace and sent a letter to Hongjin, the protector company, telling him and Xia Qingyun to stay in the palace for a few days, and asking him to take care of his wife and Xia Jianping and his wife who stayed in the palace of the prince of Zhenguo.

Three days have passed, and the 'blood man' soaked in the stone house is still the same. Qingmei took turns pouring the boiled medicinal juice into his mouth, and most of the medicinal juice flowed down the corners of his mouth that lacked lips.

The daily feeding of medicine is tantamount to a torture for Qingmei, although they are goblins, but their hearts are very soft, and they can't bear to watch a living person suffer such inhuman torture.

But apart from them, neither Xia Qingyun nor Si Hongrui could accurately feed the medicinal juice into the emperor's mouth in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

On the seventh day, things finally got better. A thin layer of skin grows. The defective places were gradually restored, and the poor emperor finally looked a little "human".

From this day on, the speed of recovery increased significantly, and on the morning of the tenth day, Xia Qingyun opened the door of the stone house, letting in a little light, and looking through the door, the person soaking in the pool was thin and skinny, but his breathing was steady, and he was obviously out of danger.

Si Hongrui's hanging heart finally let go of it. He did as Xia Qingyun instructed. The eunuch was ordered to find an oversized bath barrel and place it in the place where the wooden frame had been placed. The bath barrel was filled with Seven Star Spring Water and the emperor was removed from the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

Coming back to the gloomy dormitory, Xia Qingyun couldn't help frowning and said, "The king of a country." Why did you decorate your dormitory like a Yama hall? ”

"It wasn't like that. Since last year. The emperor's temper became more and more strange, and he asked people to paint the walls black and tear down the old curtains. Put on those weird-shaped masks. ”

It seems that ten thousand insect Gu can not only devour people's flesh and bones, but also affect people's minds.

There were a few slight sounds of water in the bathtub, Si Hongrui and Xia Qingyun hurriedly gathered around, and the emperor's hand trembled and lifted up from the water, making a 'gurgling' sound in his throat, and his eyelids opened slightly.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Si Hongrui called softly.

"Zhen Guogong? Is that you? The emperor's voice was extremely harsh, and from his questioning, it could be seen that he was very conscious when he woke up!

"It's me! Your Majesty, you have finally woken up! Si Hongrui excitedly grabbed the emperor's hand.

Xia Qingyun hurriedly flashed into the treasure pavilion, she entered the palace in disguise, and she couldn't let the emperor see her. She turned Blackstar into an ordinary-looking old man, pretending to be a 'hidden doctor'.

The emperor's breath was still very weak, and he gasped for a while, and then asked, "When is it so dark in the house?"

"Someone! Palm light! Si Hongrui commanded loudly, and the eunuch palace maid rushed in, lifted the black curtain, and took a few candlesticks to light them.

The moment the light of the candlestick illuminated the dormitory, the faces of the eunuchs and palace maids also showed a bit of joy and surprise. The miracle doctor invited by Zhenguo Gong is really spiritual! You know, there is no light in this dormitory for more than half a year.

Hei Xing pretended to touch the emperor's pulse, stroked his beard and nodded: "The pulse is no longer a big problem, but the qi and blood are weak, and it needs to be regulated for a few days." Now that the emperor's dragon body is gradually calm, the rest can be left to the imperial doctor to dispose of. ”

Si Hongrui ordered someone to take his clothes, carefully took the emperor out of the bathtub, dried his body, and moved him to the wide and comfortable dragon bed.

After this toss, the emperor, who had just woken up, was tired and panting, and closed his eyes again in a groggy state.

Si Hongrui shouted a few times anxiously, and when he saw that the emperor did not react, he panicked again.

"It's okay, he's just asleep." Xia Qingyun comforted, "Looking at the emperor's appearance, his consciousness has also returned to normal, and he only needs to raise it for a while longer, and he will be fine." ”

In the next few days, the emperor still soaked in the bathtub for a few hours every day, and Qingmei and others boiled the medicinal juice in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion on time, and the eunuch helped feed it.

By the time the crown prince and the princes asked for an audience again, the emperor was already able to sit on the edge of the bed and say a few words.

On this day, the crown prince and the six princes all came to the palace, and even the seven princes, who usually do not show up, rarely came to visit.

Xia Qingyun hid in the treasure pavilion, secretly observing the expressions of the seven people. The one who attacked the emperor must be one of the seven princes, or, several.

However, she underestimated the level of several princes. Having grown up in the palace for a long time, they have long practiced the ability to be happy and angry, and the expressions on their faces are extremely concerned, and they don't see anything unusual at all.

And the attention of these princes was on the emperor, and they didn't pay attention to how many personal soldiers Zhenguo Gong had brought, whether there was one person missing.

The emperor said a few words, and his expression showed a tired look, so he instructed them not to come often in the future, but once every half a month.

The princes retreated as they were told, and when they left, the prince glanced at the minister of Zhenguo.

When Si Hongrui came to the outside of the palace, the prince was very anxious pacing back and forth, and when he saw him come out, he greeted him and said in a low voice: "This morning, an urgent report was sent from the border pass, and the northwest grassland tribes are gathering outside the pass, but I am afraid that they are preparing to attack in a big way!" ”

Si Hongrui was taken aback, the khans of the steppe tribes had already surrendered, why did they suddenly send troops at this time?

The prince said: "Without further ado, now that the southwest barbarians have been pacified, I want to transfer the Zhenyuan army in the southwest to the northwest, what is the high opinion of the prince?" ”

Si Hongrui groaned slightly, "Bowen used to fight in the northwest with the Protector of the Kingdom, and he was familiar with the terrain of the grassland, turning from the southwest to the northwest, and the rapid march could be reached in more than a month, which was much faster than transferring troops from other places. Now it's the safest way to go! ”

The prince nodded and hurried away.

Si Hongrui returned to the palace, and did not dare to tell the emperor who had just recovered from a serious illness, so he ordered someone to call the imperial doctor, and handed over the thousand-year-old ginseng Zizhi and others that Xia Qingyun took out from the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion to the imperial doctor by the hand of the 'hidden divine doctor', and hurried out of the palace with Xia Qingyun and others.
