Chapter 113: The Empress is seriously ill
Nong Tieshu threw himself in front of Nong Qingyun's bed and held Nong Qingyun's hand tightly: "Dad, are you better?" ”
"Your dad won't wake up so quickly, he's been in a coma for too long, and the toxins haven't cleared so quickly. You take this," Shi handed the medicine bottle to Nong Tieshu, "give it to him every two hours, and he should wake up tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, Stone." Nong Tieshu didn't look up at the stone. Maybe it's because she's angry with him, or maybe it's because she's lied to him again.
The stone dragged its tired body and chaotic mind silently out of the inn.
The sun on a cold winter morning is stingy and only willing to share a small part of its light and heat with the earth. Hawkers push carts in the streets, and the hot air from their mouths dances wildly in the air. The snow hasn't fallen yet, perhaps waiting for someone who will appreciate them.
Shi was hungry and was called to the inn by Nong Tieshu early in the morning, and he hadn't eaten a bite yet, but he had no appetite.
He didn't know if what he had just done was right or wrong, and whether his sincere words were a lie.
Nong Qingshan killed Nong Qingyun's lover?
In his mind, Nong Qingshan is kind and modest, and he doesn't look like a wicked person no matter how he looks at it, but Nong Qingyun always gives him a feeling of hypocrisy.
But why did he remind Nong Qingshan to be wary of Nong Qingyun, and Nong Qingshan said that he had misunderstood?
What did he misunderstand?
"Hey!" Shi sighed, touched the Shennong whip on his waist and said, "This is the Shennong whip you are fighting for, I didn't expect it to be on me." And I take him with me every day, but you don't see him. I'm saving your life today, and if you're really a good person, then I'm not saving you in vain. If you are a wicked person, Heaven will not spare you. ”
Nong Qingyun slowly opened his eyelids, as if centuries had passed.
For some reason, he had an inexplicable sense of fear. He struggled to search for his memories.
He remembered that he was escorted into the capital by the Jinyi guards, put in a prison cell, and given poisoned wine by the emperor. Later, he lost consciousness......
Aren't you dead? Nong Qingyun quietly observed the place where his eyes could see.
He didn't dare to act rashly, maybe he wasn't out of danger yet.
"Daddy!" A soft, familiar call reached his ears.
He rolled his eyes quickly, searching for the voice.
Nong Tieshu smiled and leaned down, putting his hands on Nong Qingyun's shoulders.
"Tieshu!" Nong Qingyun stretched out his trembling hand, tears rolling out of his sunken eyes, this was the first time he had shed tears since he could remember.
"Dad, you're fine, you'll be fine soon." Nong Tieshu choked and said.
Nong Qingyun closed his eyes and nodded.
Nong Tieshu took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Nong Qingyun's eyes.
"Dad, you rest for two more days, your body is stronger, and we will go back to Shennong Palace immediately. If you know that you are well, you will be very happy! ”
"Tieshu, where are we? What's going on these days? ”
"Dad, we're in the capital. A friend and I rescued you from your cell. ”
"I remember I drank poisoned wine, and I didn't die?"
"At first, I thought you were no longer alive, so I went to the cell and pulled your body. I thought, even if you die, I'm going to bury you properly. After pulling you out, I found that you still had a breath, but you were unconscious......"
"Well, I took the poison."
"Dad, what did they poison you?"
"A new type of drug."
"No wonder your body is curled up. Dad, you know that wine is poisonous, why do you want to drink it? ”
"If I don't drink, our Shennong Palace will suffer. It doesn't matter if I die alone, as long as I keep Shennong Palace, I will not be in vain. ”
Although Nong Qingyun was insidious and cunning, and his heart was ruthless, everything he did was for the strength of Shennong Palace during his tenure, and he could even pay for his own life for this.
"Dad, our Shennong Palace is all supported by you alone. After you are captured by the people of the imperial court, Shennong Palace will be dispersed. Most of the disciples left, and other sects often bullied them. ”
"Tie Shu, you have to learn to be in charge of Shennong Palace, when your father is old, Shennong Palace will be handed over to you sooner or later."
"Yes, Dad, Tie Shu is incompetent. Dad is not old at all, and his health is good. You can't do anything about the drug. Dad, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing. ”
"No......" Nong Qingyun shook his head, knowing that he couldn't fight the poison he had taken.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"I didn't die on the spot after taking the new type of drug, because I have tried countless poisons and antidotes in Shennong Palace over the past few decades, and now my body also has a certain ability to eliminate the poison. But...... Tieshu, how long have I been in a coma? ”
"More than half a month."
"For so long? Do you have any antidote for me? ”
"Dad, the Baicao Pill and Tongluo Pill from Shennong Palace have been taken for you, but they don't work."
"It doesn't work? So how did I wake up? Nong Qingyun tensed his nerves.
"Dad, don't get excited." Nong Tieshu helped Nong Qingyun sit up and poured him another glass of water.
"How the hell did I wake up?"
"The stone has detoxified you."
"Stones? Will he detoxify? How did he solve it? Nong Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up, bright and energetic, not at all like a person who had been in a coma for half a month and had just woken up.
Nong Tieshu took the medicine bottle left by the stone from the table: "This is the antidote he gave you." ”
Nong Qingyun opened the medicine bottle, leaned over to his nose and sniffed it.
It was a smell he was unfamiliar with and had never smelled before. Compared to the usual antidote, it is as light as water.
"What is this made of?" Nong Qingyun asked.
"I don't know, the stone didn't say."
"Did you know he was going to detoxify?"
"I don't know."
"Shennong whip?" Nong Qingyun muttered softly.
Nong Tieshu was shocked: "Dad, this is made by Shennong's whip?" ”
"I know too much about the methods of poisoning and detoxification of various sects on the rivers and lakes. There is no antidote that can solve this new type of drug, except for Shennong's whip. ”
Nong Tieshu fell into deep thought.
When Baotong told Nongtieshu that the stone would detoxify, she also felt incredible.
Could it be that the stone really got the Shennong whip?
"Tie Shu, you should understand the significance of the Shennong whip to Shennong Palace. I hope you get the Shennong whip back as soon as possible. If you can't find it, you tell Dad. ”
"Dad, you have a good rest, I will definitely get the Shennong whip back as soon as possible."
One morning in the eighth lunar month of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Queen Ma, who had always gotten up early, did not personally prepare a meal for Zhu Yuanzhang as usual.
The maid Ning Yu called softly twice outside the tent: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother." ”
"Humph!" Queen Ma let out a groan of pain.
"Queen Mother!" Ning Yu lifted the curtain, leaned over, and said softly, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”
"Ning Yu." Queen Ma said in a hoarse voice.
"Ning Yu is here. What does the queen have to say? ”
"Drink...... Water. Queen Ma was so angry that every word she said seemed to exhaust all her strength.
"Yes, the minion will bring it right away." Ning Yu poured a glass of water, opened the curtains, and bright light and fresh air poured into the room.
She walked to the bed with water: "Ah! Ning Yu exclaimed, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Under the bright light, Queen Ma's eyes were sunken, her face was sallow, and her lips were white, like a terminally ill person.
"Hongu is a little uncomfortable...... Come, give water to the palace......" Queen Ma trembled and stretched out her hand shaped like a withered branch.
"Yes, Queen." Ning Yu hurriedly stepped forward, supported Queen Ma's head with her arm, took a pillow and put it on Queen Ma's back, and carefully put the cup close to Queen Ma's chapped lips.
Queen Ma took two sips of water, her body became heavier and heavier, and she felt struggling to even lean on it.
Ning Yu took the water away and helped Queen Ma to lie down: "Queen Mother, the slave is going to ask the imperial doctor to take a look, right?" ”
"No need." Queen Ma closed her eyes and shook her head, as weak as a person about to breathe.
Ning Yu was anxious and sobbed in a low voice: "Queen Mother, you are sick, you can't help but see the doctor!" ”
Queen Ma reluctantly squeezed out a smile to comfort Ning Yu and said, "Silly girl, this palace is fine." ”
"Then, then I'll let Xiao Dezi tell the emperor."
"Don't." Queen Ma shook her head and said, "Don't let the emperor know." He is now in the early dynasty. Recently, the Yellow River has flooded, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has disturbed the border, and Hu Weiyong's plot against him has not subsided. The emperor is too busy, don't make trouble for him anymore. ”
"Queen's mother, minion...... How can a minion help you? ”
"Ning Yu, this palace is fine. You go out first, and the main palace will rest again. ”
"Yes." Ning Yu slowly withdrew from Queen Ma's house.
She thought about it and realized that this was unusual.
Queen Ma is usually in good health, does everything by herself, guards the virtue of thrift and hardship, has always prepared meals herself, weaves and tailors, and teaches the palace ladies to do all kinds of things.
She had never been so unable to get up from her bed as she was today. If it was some innocuous cold, she didn't care, and she still didn't know how to work hard.
Now I must be very sick to lie in bed.
Ning Yu decided to ignore the queen's obstruction and report to the emperor to avoid an accident to the queen.
Ning Yu ran to find the eunuch Xiao Dezi in a hurry.
Xiao Dezi knew the severity, and even though Zhu Yuanzhang was in the early dynasty, he immediately reported Queen Ma's illness to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Queen Ma was ill, his face changed greatly, and he had no intention of going to the court early, leaving a group of confused ministers behind, and hurried from Fengtian Hall to Kunning Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the dormitory, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a hurry, coughed violently.
Queen Ma struggled to sit up.
"Lie down! Cough! Don't move! Cough! Cough! Zhu Yuanzhang came to the bed.
"Water!" Queen Ma said.
Ning Yu immediately served a glass of water.
"Why don't you call the Imperial Doctor? Don't you want to live anymore? Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily.
The water cup clattered and danced in the tray, and Ning Yu's face was whiter than paper.
