Jinling City, Imperial Palace.

Gorgeous and spacious shaking light hall, has long been no longer the past singing and laughing, silk and bamboo pleasant sound, since the late autumn of last year, after the Great Zhou Emperor was infected with the cold, has been low-grade fever does not go away, the condition is repeated, not improved, for a long time, has led to a decline in the immunity of the whole body, driven by a lot of inflammation in the body, long-term illness, even evolved into a serious illness.

"Ahem, ahem!" Emperor E, who had a thin face, coughed violently, and after covering his mouth with a handkerchief, he found bloodstains, which was a sign of illness in his internal organs.

used to be graceful and luxurious, with a charming posture and a talent of Jinghua, but now he has a yellow face and thin muscles, a pale face, fatigue, and diseases.

Li Yu stood in front of the bed, looking at his beloved wife and queen who were already dim and seriously ill in bed, his heart was full of grief, ten years of husband and wife relationship, how many good memories, it should be the age of youth, but he was tortured by the illness so haggard, he felt very bad in his heart.

Even if he is the lord of Jiangnan, what about the king of a country, he can only watch his beloved woman, and his condition worsens day by day, and the imperial doctor is helpless, and he privately predicts that the queen will not be at the end of the year.

He was originally a sensual person, and his personality was prone to sentimentality, and at this time his eyes were tearful and he had a hesitant expression, quite like an infatuated person.

Behind Li Yu, there were several graceful women standing, including concubines Jiang, Baoyi Huang, concubines Yuliuzhu, and Lady Yao, as well as the royal maids Qiao, Xue Jiu, Qiushui and others, all of whom were most favored by Li Yu, and some of the nobles in the palace came to visit the queen's condition.

They also saw that the queen's condition was very bad, and when they read the queen's care for them in the past few years, they all cried and couldn't bear it.

"Taiyi Pavilion, it's helpless, it's really a bunch of waste!" Li Yu was a little angry, the imperial doctors in the Tang Kingdom couldn't find out what the illness was, and there was no good way to cure the disease, so he let the queen's condition worsen day by day, which made him feel angry and sad.

Baoyi Huang proposed: "The official family, the queen's mother, in this case, the imperial doctor has no choice, and it may be a way to find a miracle doctor from the people." ”

This Huang Baoyi was originally from Jiangxia, and his father Huang Shouzhong was originally a general of Ma Xicao in Hunan; Later, after the civil strife in Chu, after his father died in battle, the Tang army entered the territory of Chu to help quell the chaos, but in fact, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, Tang took Bian Hao into Changsha, and found that the girl Huang was beautiful, so he brought her back to the Southern Tang court.

Huang grew up in the court because of his beauty and intelligence, and was later given to Li Yu by Li Jing as a side room, and after Li Yu ascended the throne, he became a concubine and was named "Baoyi". There are tens of thousands of paintings and calligraphy in the palace, especially Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi, who have the most ink, all of which are managed by Huang Baoyi, and she can also be called a talented woman.

Li Yu shook his head and said: "In the rivers and lakes, I have also tried a few people, but it has not worked, which makes the queen feel some pain." ”

Concubine Yu Liuzhu interjected on the side: "Official, the concubine heard that Jiang Zuo Sulang is not only outstanding in writing, but also rejuvenated, why not invite him into the palace to try?" ”

"Su Chen?" Li Yu thought about this person's name and his deeds.

Concubine Jiang also took the opportunity to say: "Official, he can even think of a way to cure a plague disease such as smallpox, more than the miracle doctors of previous dynasties, the queen's illness, maybe he has a way?" ”

Li Yu's expression moved, and he felt that what these two concubines said was also reasonable, why did he keep forgetting this "Jiang Zuo Sulang".

At this moment, Gong'e Qingnu was wearing a palace dress, ran in in a panic, and shouted anxiously at Li Yu: "Official, no, it's not good, Second Highness...... Something happened to him. ”

Li Yu turned around, and after hearing this, his face changed greatly, and he grabbed Qingnu's arm, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Zhong Xuan, what happened to him?" ”

Qingnu said: "Second Highness, he, playing in the Buddhist hall, startled a black cat, got rid of a big glass lamp, His Royal Highness was too frightened, has been unconscious and convulsed, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor Department is diagnosing, and the slave came to report to the official." ”

The surrounding concubines and maids also showed worries when they heard this.

Li Yu looked worried, but he didn't dare to speak up, for fear of causing Emperor E's worry and making his condition even more serious, he said to Huang Baoyi: "Feng'er, you and Liuzhu and Lady are here to take care of the queen, and I and Concubine Jiang went over to see Zhongxuan." ”

"Official, let's go." Baoyi Huang Feng responded.

Li Yu took the concubine Jiang, the maid Qiao, Xue Jiu, Qiushui and others to the bedroom of the second prince Li Zhongxuan.

These two princes were also born after the Great Zhou Dynasty, smart and clever, at the age of three they could recite the Book of Filial Piety without leaving a word, very much loved by the queen and the queen mother, Li Yu also loved the second son, I heard that he had an accident, walking on the palace wall, since I was anxious, I was worried.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, he asked directly: "How is the second prince frightened?" ”

Seeing the lord of the country enter the room, a imperial doctor arched his hand and said: "Back to the official's house, His Royal Highness is still young and mentally incomplete, and he has been frightened too much, and he has already had convulsions, and the situation is not optimistic. ”

Li Yu walked to the side of the bed, looked at the second prince who was pale and convulsed, at a young age, with such a painful look, he suddenly felt pain and shock in his heart, and turned to the imperial doctor and shouted: "It must be cured, otherwise, I will cure your sins!" ”

He was already very angry that the queen was sick and the imperial doctors were helpless, and this time it was his beloved little son's turn to be ill, and all the resentment and anger were accumulated together, and the people in the imperial medical department couldn't help but be angry.

The three imperial doctors knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The official family is angry, and the ministers will do their best to save His Royal Highness." ”

Li Yu nodded slightly, watching the imperial doctor rescue, and after a while, the second prince lying on the bed suddenly cried, and kept dreaming and babbling: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid, father, save the child......"

"Zhong Xuan, my father is here." Li Yu hurriedly went up, looked at his four-year-old son, who was convulsive and crazy like this, felt distressed, grabbed the second prince's little hand, and was also surprised: "It's very hot, he has a high fever." ”

Several imperial doctors also panicked, their faces became more and more nervous, and they felt that the matter was tricky.

"Hurry up and find a way, you must not let the prince have an accident!" Li Yu's eyes were red.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The imperial doctor only replied, and there was really no countermeasure in his heart. Because the second prince is too young, only four years old, he is frail and sickly, and he is easy to die young, the level of ancient medicine is low, and common colds and flu are easy to cause death.

At this time, a eunuch came in to spread the word, and Han Xizai entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

Li Yu waved his sleeves and said, "No, I'm not in the mood." ”

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "The official family, Han Shilang said that he wants to recommend a divine doctor to treat His Royal Highness and the queen. ”

Li Yuwen was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately changed his words and said, "Quickly introduce Han Shilang here, I want to ask in person." ”
