Chapter 296: First Sight of Emperor Zhou E
The moment Su Chen saw Emperor Zhou E, with such a haggard face, he felt as if he had been pinched in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable, just like seeing his relatives suffering from injustice and disease, and he had a deep worry and pity.
This is a female historical figure in the history books, and there are very few women who can be recorded in the ancient books of youth history for thousands of years!
What's more, Emperor Zhou E's historical writings and ink are almost all positive evaluations, and affirmation of his talent and beauty, as well as the sympathy and pity of literati and artists, and even unfair to him, which is even more rare.
Before Emperor Zhou E left the cabinet, he was known as a talented person in Yangzhou, Jiangbei in the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was familiar with historical books, proficient in music and rhythm, and played chess, which was wonderful, especially good at playing the pipa. At the age of seventeen, Zhou Zong took her into the palace garden, and once played the pipa for Yuanzong to celebrate his birthday.
When Emperor Zhou E was nineteen years old, Yuanzong took his father as the elder of Sheji, and the woman was dignified and talented, and married him to Li Yu, who was the king of Wu at the time. In June of the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty (961), Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty died, and Li Yu succeeded to the throne, so he canonized Emperor E as the queen, favored the harem alone, and loved him very much.
Because Emperor Zhou E is proficient in music, once drank with the queen on a snowy night, Emperor E raised a glass to invite the queen to dance, Li Yu proposed that if he wanted him to dance, unless he could compose a new song for him, Emperor E agreed to come down, sang casually, waved his pen, and wrote "Invite Drunk Dance Break", and created a score "Hate Comes Late to Break", which was quite popular in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The most famous thing is to complete the "Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes Song", which is a fine French song in the Tang Dynasty, and it was lost due to the war in the fifth dynasty. Li Yu once searched for the remnants of the score and ordered the court musicians to repair it, but it was not satisfactory. Emperor Zhou E examined the fallacies, additions, deletions and adjustments of the old score, sorted it out into a new song, and played it on the pipa, which is melodious and beautiful, and almost restores the neon clothes and feather clothes.
Such a talented woman is as thin as wood at this time, and her face is gloomy, which is pitiful.
"Grass people Su Chen, I've seen Queen Zhou!" Su Chen's gift.
Empress Zhou shook her head and said, "No need to be polite...... I have long heard that Su Gongzi is famous, I just hate not to see each other, today you can enter the palace to diagnose the disease, whether it is cured or not, see each other, but it is a big regret in the heart of the palace, cough cough ......"
When she said this, she seemed a little excited, and she actually coughed.
Qiushui, the palace maid, immediately took out a silk scarf to wipe it for the queen, but after coughing, there were already blood stains on the silk scarf, which made everyone change color, and they couldn't help but worry.
Coughing up blood is not a good sign, but a sign that you are terminally ill and your days are short.
"Sister-" Zhou Jiamin exclaimed in surprise, crying anxiously.
Su Chen's face calmed down, worried that it was tuberculosis, which was a terminal illness in ancient times, he tried his best to keep calm, grabbed Zhou Jiamin's arm and said, "Jiamin, go to the side first, don't panic, let me take the queen's pulse." ”
Zhou Jiamin was pulled by Su Chen's arm, turned his head and saw Su Chen's serious expression, calm look, suddenly quieted a lot, nodded slightly, and said urgently: "Brother Su, you must save my sister." ”
Su Chen smiled slightly and nodded to reassure her.
While the concubines were concerned about the queen's condition, they looked at Su Chen and Zhou Jiamin's physical contact, pulling and pulling, such a man and woman who had not left the cabinet, such a skin close, a little impolite; But seeing the seemingly natural movements of the two, without a sense of alienation, they were all surprised that the relationship between the two was already very close?
Li Yu sat on the side of the bed with a worried face, stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Ehuang's hand, and said with tears: "Emperor E, you must not have an accident, Su Chen's medical skills are very high, and he will definitely be able to cure you." ”
A bitter smile overflowed at the corner of Zhou Ehuang's mouth, her illness has lasted for nearly a year, and her body is getting worse day by day, especially this month, she obviously feels that the vitality of the whole person is passing away little by little, and there are symptoms of coughing up blood, and her heart has gradually despaired, and she has a premonition that her limit is approaching.
"Leave it to fate...... Emperor Zhou E said a word or two softly, and two tears fell from the corners of her eyes, but she was strong and held herself back from crying.
Su Chen sat on a silk-wrapped soft pier in front of the bed, reached out and put his hand on the silk scarf on Queen Zhou's wrist, and began to auscultate and take the pulse.
Queen Zhou's pulse is slow and weak, her spleen and kidney qi are deficient, fatigue and weakness, accompanied by low-grade fever, and her body is thin and red......
Combining these symptoms, Su Chen's face changed slightly, and after careful examination, he had already made a rough diagnosis. This Queen of Zhou contracted the wind and cold in the autumn, and has been suffering from low-grade fever for a long time, weakened physique, low immunity, induced pneumonia, and finally gradually turned into severe pneumonia, but it is not tuberculosis, because the source of infection is different.
Tuberculosis is caused by conjugate bacilli, while pneumonia is caused by fungal or pneumococcal infections.
"How long have you been coughing up blood?" Su Chen stood up and asked with a frown.
The personal palace maid Qiushui was stared at by him, and she was a little frightened, her eyes first glanced at the queen, and then said truthfully: "It's been a month." ”
When Li Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me? ”
The palace maid Qiushui knelt directly on the ground and said weakly: "The queen doesn't let the slaves and maids say it, which makes the officials worry and affects state affairs!" ”
Li Yu clasped Da Zhouhou's hand and said, "Emperor E, why are you so stupid, why don't you tell me, and bear ...... alone silently"
Emperor Zhou E shook his head weakly and said: "It's useless to say it, one more person is just adding trouble." ”
The palace doctor has been treated for more than half a year, but there has been no improvement, and it is getting more and more serious, Emperor Zhou E has already planned for the worst, and guessed that he may not be able to pass this level.
Su Chen's heart was a little relieved: A month, that's okay, the time is not long! This week, the queen, obviously because of the wind and cold infection, bronchitis after fever, not cured in time, often low-grade fever attack, and finally led to lung inflammation, which was not treated well, resulting in lesions, into severe pneumonia, and at the same time there is a trend of nephritis, so if it continues to develop, good people will also be abolished.
But fortunately, it is not tuberculosis, it is basically equivalent to a terminal disease in ancient times, it is difficult to cure, if Su Chen encounters it, it must be no problem, in modern medicine, tuberculosis can not be easily cured, let alone the Tang and Song dynasties.
When Su Chen was pondering, everyone in the hall focused on him, and it can be said that the life and death of Queen Zhou were all tied to him.
The hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard, just waiting for Su Chen's diagnosis.
If he said that he couldn't do anything at this time, then Queen Zhou might really not live long.
Peng Jingjing looked at Su Chen with light eyes, feeling that the pressure in the hall made it difficult to breathe, but she saw Su Chen standing upright, tall as a mountain, carrying such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but there was no trace of panic, and his concentration was very good.
Li Yu asked dryly, "Su Chen, the queen, her illness...... How, exactly, can you cure it? ”
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Official, queen, don't worry, the grass people already have some eyebrows about the diagnosis of the disease." It is necessary to use a few decoctions to try clinically, a little bit to clear the lesions, as the so-called disease is like a mountain, and the disease is like a thread, this disease is difficult to treat for a long time, but I am afraid that it will not have a month, it is difficult to have a great effect and improvement. But the grass people believe that the queen's condition will not continue to deteriorate after taking the medicine, which can still be done. ”
"Really?" Li Yu was surprised, listening to Su Chen's meaning, he could really cure it.
Empress Zhou herself was stunned, she didn't expect that the imperial doctor was helpless for a terminal illness, but Su Chen was able to have a cure, which made her already desperate heart gradually recover some vitality and hope.
"Great." Zhou Jiamin burst into tears when she heard this, and directly hugged Su Chen's arm, swaying vigorously, not caring about her image as a girl.
