Chapter 90: The End of the Song and the People Disperse
From summer to autumn, from winter to spring, this year's spring is later than in previous years, and it is not until mid-March that the willow branches begin to bud, and the earth gradually turns from gray and yellow to full of life.
The spring festival in the palace also began to be prepared in an orderly manner, and the court molded the soil into cattle to plan farming, and just when everything was going according to plan, a bad news came to the palace.
"Queen, the general is seriously ill with cold and heat, and the princess asks Imperial Doctor Feng to move to the mansion!" The general's subordinates hurriedly entered the palace with the princess waist card to ask to see Wei Zifu, Wei Zifu was worried, and immediately summoned Imperial Doctor Feng to rush to Wei Qing's mansion.
When he arrived in the house, the doors and windows of the room where Wei Qing lived were closed, and a charcoal fire was lit in the room. Imperial Physician Feng hurriedly put down the medicine box and approached to test the temperature with his hand, he was startled when he tried it, Wei Qing's forehead was hot, and beads of sweat were rolling, but his body was as cold as ice when he tried again, Imperial Physician Feng took Wei Qing's pulse, carefully diagnosed, and after a long time, Fang pulled out his hand and asked, "What kind of medicine did the general use?" ”
Princess Pingyang approached and said, "Imperial Doctor Feng, it's still the prescription you prescribed last time, and I ordered someone to be there all the time in case of emergency." ”
"Hmm." The old lady doctor got up and nodded, and said, "Okay! ”
Looking at Wei Zifu and Princess Pingyang's anxious expressions, Imperial Physician Feng silently pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Queen, Princess Pingyang, please come with the old minister." ”
Wei Zifu and Princess Pingyang glanced at each other, suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, and as Imperial Physician Feng quickly turned outside the screen, "Imperial Physician Feng..." the two shouted out in unison, "How is the general?" Princess Pingyang's eyes flashed with anxiety and asked in a low voice.
"General..."Imperial Physician Feng paused, and replied in a low voice, "Not very good!" ”
"Not so good, what do you mean?" Wei Zifu interjected, looking at Imperial Physician Feng's eyes eagerly waiting for an answer.
"The general has been at war with the Huns all the year round, and there are malaria parasites in his body, but fortunately, the general has always been physically strong, and the lesions are not easy to attack, but over the years, the old diseases on the general's body have flare-ups, and the lesions have already been excited, but they have been deep into the intestines and are unknown." Imperial Physician Feng frowned tightly and continued, "The last time I came to the mansion to treat the general's illness, I have already found that a small number of lesions have emerged, so the general's high fever will not go away for several days last time, and drinking ordinary prescriptions is also ineffective, and this is the reason. ”
"But after drinking Imperial Physician Feng's medicine last time, hasn't the general already recovered?" Princess Pingyang was puzzled.
Imperial Physician Feng nodded and said, "Last time, the old minister smashed the safflower grass of the Western Regions into medicine, and then used the seven-step snake bile obscene immersion as a guide to kill the lesions that were born, but the original lesions were hidden in the body for many years, and they could not be removed one by one. ”
"Kidney Rock?" Princess Pingyang was surprised, "What is Kidney Rock?" ”
"The so-called kidney rock is the high and deep bottom of the affected area, in the shape of a rock cave, with the roots of the poison hidden deep and perforated through." The old lady seemed to be unbearable, and slowly said word by word.
"Listen to what Imperial Doctor Feng said, but Wei Qing has a tumor in his body?" Wei Zifu's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and there was a bit of disbelief in his low voice.
Imperial Physician Feng nodded wordlessly.
Wei Zifu suddenly felt dizzy and almost unsteady on his feet, but fortunately he was supported by Princess Pingyang beside him, Princess Pingyang only felt tightness in her throat, she held Wei Zifu's hand, and her nails were already deeply pinched into her palm. Suppressing the panic in her heart, Princess Pingyang stabilized her mind, raised her eyes and asked, "Imperial Doctor Feng, what is the cure for this disease?" ”
Imperial Physician Feng shook his head gloomily and remained silent.
"Imperial Doctor Feng, what do you mean by this?" Princess Pingyang couldn't hold back any longer, and said excitedly: "If you can save the general, this princess will do whatever it takes!" Imperial Physician Feng, you are well-informed, and you also cured the general's illness last year, and you will definitely be able to do it this time! ”
"Imperial Doctor Feng, as long as you can save Wei Qing, no matter what you ask, this palace will agree!" Wei Zifu suppressed the tears in his eyes, regardless of the identity of the queen, and wanted to bow down to Imperial Physician Feng, but Imperial Physician Feng hurriedly supported him when he saw this, and said, "The queen must not be like this, it has tormented the old minister!" ”
"Don't say that the patient is a general, and it is what the queen and princess want, even if it is an ordinary person, but if the old minister has a line to do, he will do his best!" Imperial Physician Feng helped Wei Zifu up, let out a long sigh, and said: "But now the general's illness, the origin of the lesion is above the blindness, under the ointment, it cannot be attacked, it cannot be reached, and the medicine is not enough!" Even if the old minister has the strength, he is only afraid... I'm afraid that I can't go back to the sky! ”
Imperial Physician Feng slowly came out with these words, as if a thousand catties of heavy stones had smashed on the hearts of Wei Zifu and Princess Pingyang, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, and tears burst out of his eyes. But at the moment, although Wei Qing is asleep, he is still indoors after all, a few steps away from a screen, and both of them only dare to hide their voices and cry silently. Imperial Physician Feng was also speechless and moved, and in silence, Imperial Physician Feng suddenly said: "Queen, princess, and the old minister still has a way, but... I don't know if it works. ”
"How?"
Imperial Physician Feng's words seemed to have magical power, which made Wei Zifu and Princess Pingyang stop crying immediately, and hurriedly raised their heads and asked.
"The breadth of heaven and earth, the breadth of all things, far beyond the knowledge of the world! The general's disease, although the old minister is helpless, but whether there is a strange person who can cure it, it is unknown! Imperial Physician Feng stroked his white beard and said slowly.
"Yes! How could Hongu not think of it! Wei Zifu was suddenly empowered, and Princess Pingyang's eyes were also rejuvenated, and said: "According to what Imperial Doctor Feng said, this princess can post a list and ask for famous doctors in the world, and there may be strange people who can save the general!" ”
"Yes!" Imperial Physician Feng nodded and said, "You can give it a try!" Lao Chen also went to check the ancient books again to see if there was a good prescription! ”
"Good!" The three of them all had anticipation in their eyes, and they prayed together for miracles in the future!
----
Soon after, the medical list was posted, whether it was Gyeonggi or an important town, whether it was a prosperous place or a remote corner, the emperor's sister, Princess Pingyang, sought a famous doctor for her husband General Wei Qing.
For a while, the doctors who flocked to the capital were like carp crossing the river, and the streets and alleys were talking about what kind of person they would be to get this earth-shattering wealth. But almost a month has passed, and there is still no one who can rely on this matter to reach the dragon gate at one time.
In a panic, Princess Pingyang increased the intensity of the reward. If there is a person who can cure the general's disease, not only can he enter the court and get 10,000 taels of gold, but he can also protect his descendants, build a temple of merit, and enjoy the incense of the world. As soon as this list came out, it caused countless ripples, and even a lot of Hu doctors from the Western Regions came, among which there was a Wusu Hu doctor who proposed that if you want to get rid of this tumor, you can take it by opening your abdomen.
Princess Pingyang was startled when she heard this, and was about to reprimand, but unexpectedly, Imperial Doctor Feng on the side asked, "How to open your abdomen?" ”
Doctor Hu said unhurriedly: "The general took the spirit of wine into my Western Regions mandala flower juice, and then cut it with a fish intestine sword!" ”
"How to remove the tumor?"
"The tumor is shaped like the roots of a tree, and all the roots must be found and cut off quickly."
"The roots are connected to the lungs, how to stop the bleeding if they are broken?"
"Oral unicorn exhaustion, boil the thick juice with notoginseng and madder, suture the wound with whale thread and apply it."
"If it is dissected, the lesion of the tumor has infected the heart and lungs, what should I do?" Imperial Physician Feng stared at Doctor Hu's eyes, with a bit of hope, and asked slowly.
"Already... Infected... Cardiopulmonary ? Doctor Hu's face twitched, suddenly changed color, and he lowered his eyes and said, "That... That's the Da Luo Immortal, also... Useless! ”
Princess Pingyang thought there was still a glimmer of hope when she heard it, and she was happy in her heart, but when she heard this, her eyes suddenly darkened, and the palace maid who was waiting around her hurriedly helped her sit down. Hearing this, Imperial Physician Feng raised his head and closed his eyes and was silent, and after a long time, Fang opened his eyes and said to Doctor Hu: "You can be regarded as finding another way, but it's a pity... It's also powerless! Enlightened! ”
Seeing this, Doctor Hu didn't say much, arched his hand, and turned to go down.
----
As time passed, Wei Qing became thinner and thinner, accompanied by high fever and chills, as well as non-stop vomiting, and the pain in his body was increasing day by day.
During this period, Liu Che specially came to visit when he heard the letter and rewarded him with a lot of health treasures, but unfortunately the conversation between the monarchs and ministers was not more than a few sentences, and he had to stop because of the huge pain in Wei Qing's body. Looking at the robust courtiers in the past, he drove thousands of miles and led the army to break the Huns yesterday, but now he was tormented by illness to the point that he was not human, and the huge gap stimulated Liu Che, making him sad and couldn't help but be more persistent in health care.
Wei Zifu lost a lot of weight due to Wei Qing's illness, although he had to visit him every other day, and he had also found many famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment, but he was still helpless. In the midst of loss and pain, time still moves forward day by day, never stopping for anything, even if it is a Han general who has won seven battles and seven victories, and is no exception.
----
After a few thunderstorms, the weather gradually got hotter, and Princess Pingyang ordered Wei Qing's bed to be moved to the east wing of Fuyuan Garden.
"General, do you still remember that in the past, I liked to cook tea, and you wrapped the tea leaves in fine yarn at night, put them in hibiscus, and waited for Tianxiao to take them out for me to cook, and the tea fragrance was as elegant as lotus that day, which made me unforgettable." Princess Pingyang's eyes looked at the hibiscus that was open just right outside the window, and muttered to the sleeping Wei Qing.
"General, do you still remember last year at this time, you and I drank wine under the moon, and I danced the sword and I blew the Xun where the excitement came, and the moonlight was clear and the lotus fragrance was full of ponds that night, and every time I thought about it as if it was yesterday." Princess Pingyang said that she looked at the sick Wei Qing, and her eyes were mixed with tenderness and reluctance.
Leaning on the edge of the bed like this, reminiscing about the past, I don't know how long it took, in the silence, Princess Pingyang suddenly heard Wei Qing whisper: "Pingyang..."
As soon as Princess Pingyang looked up, she saw that Wei Qing had woken up at some point, and she was looking at herself and whispered, "General..." ”
Wei Qing shook his head slightly, took Princess Pingyang's hand, and said slowly: "No, you can sit with me!" ”
"Good!" Princess Pingyang sat down leaning on her words and said with a smile: "But I woke up the general?" ”
"How so?" Wei Qing smiled softly, "Although I am asleep, I take everything you say to heart, I want to get better, I can accompany you to cook tea and enjoy the fun, and drink under the moon..."
"It's a pity... My body..."Wei Qing smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I can't accompany you to achieve it one by one." ”
"General..."Princess Pingyang held back the choked in her heart, and said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Feng said that you are very sick this time, and the natural conditioning time will be longer, when you are well, you will not only accompany me to enjoy the lotus, drink and dance the sword, but also take me to ride outside the horse and see the desert scenery!" ”
Wei Qing naturally understood his body very well, and when he saw Princess Pingyang's intentions, he also smiled and said, "Okay!" When Wei Qing's body recovers, let's go to Saiwai together, and I will take you to the road I walked back then, watching the sunset over the long river, and the lonely smoke of the desert. ”
"Hmm." Princess Pingyang nodded and leaned on Wei Qing, maybe time was running out, she still hoped that she could always walk together like this.
"Pingyang, you blow Xun for me again." Wei Qing's eyes were heavy, as if he was reluctant, and gently stroked Princess Pingyang.
"Okay." Princess Pingyang got up, took Tao Xun on the case, and asked with a smile: "What tune does the general want to hear?" ”
"Mountains and water." Wei Qing's voice became low, and he said slowly: "During the Boya period, bosom friends are rare, just like when I meet a princess, this life is enough!" ”
Princess Pingyang smiled and bowed, her fingers rose and fell, and her voice was long. Towering like a high mountain, the soup is like flowing water, between the rocks under the forest, the clear and melodious, in the sound of Xun, Wei Qing's hand was soft, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Princess Pingyang watched all this, tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes, and after the song was blown, a mouthful of blood was spit out, and Tao Xun fell to the ground, broken like gravel.
