Chapter 142: Saving the Emperor

Several cabinet bigwigs discussed it together again, and Zhang Juzheng came over to tell me: "Lord Lan, we all agree with your request, time waits for no one, while the news of the emperor's poisoning has not yet spread, you have to start immediately, I don't know how long it will take you to complete." ”

Because I haven't used this thing, I don't know the time of determination, so I have to return: "Lord Zhang, I can't say for sure at this time, it depends on the depth of the emperor's poisoning, and now we don't even know what poison it is, let alone know the time of the emperor's poisoning, so the lower officials don't know how long it will take to cure the emperor." ”

Zhang Juzheng also knows that it is difficult for a strong man to ask how long it will take to cure the emperor, and now the doctors of the entire Tai Hospital are there, and there is no way to let me be a layman to treat the emperor.

Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything more, and went to the side hall by himself. After a while, the female eunuchs of the Imperial Physician's Palace were invited out by Zhang Juzheng, and then several cabinet bigwigs entered the side hall with me, although it was not completely dark, a few candles had been lit in the side hall, and Chen Jiu knelt in front of the emperor's couch, holding the emperor's hand.

I walked over, squatted down and said to Chen Jiu: "Manager Chen, get up, I will work with you to expel poison for the emperor." ”

Chen Jiu heard me say that he could expel poison for the emperor, so he let go of the emperor's hand, stood up and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, gave me a deep salute and said: "Lord Lan, you must cure the emperor, I am willing to give Chen Jiu's cheap life to me." ”

I picked up Chen Jiu and said, "Mr. Chen, you are polite, we are all the emperor's courtiers, and it is right to serve the emperor, and the lower officials can't afford your big gift." ”

Zhang Juzheng said on the side: "Manager Chen, now you will cooperate with Lord Lan to save the emperor, we are all waiting for you outside, what Lord Lan needs, you have to cooperate with all your might." ”

This Chen Jiu was very respectful to several cabinet bosses, and also gave Zhang Juzheng a salute: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, I will definitely cooperate with Lord Lan, even if I want the villain's cheap life, I won't frown, I just hope that Lord Lan can cure the emperor." ”

I saw that these people were polite and polite, and I was really afraid that I would delay the treatment of the emperor, so I said to Zhang Juzheng: "Lord Zhang, we are going to start, you and a few adults should avoid it." ”

Zhang Juzheng glanced at me, didn't say anything, and took a few cabinet bigwigs out of the side hall, I saw that they were all gone, and then said to Chen Jiu: "Manager Chen, you ask the people outside to make a few plates of water for backup, and ask for a small net bag." ”

Chen Jiu asked me: "Lord Lan, how big does the net bag be, I'm afraid there is no one here, you tell me the size and I'll let them get it." ”

I took out the drug beads in my arms and showed them to Chen Jiu and said, "As long as you can wrap this, don't make a thick thread, because this has to be put in the emperor's mouth, and the net pocket is used to prevent the emperor from being unconscious and accidentally swallowing it." ”

Chen Jiu went out to find someone to get something, so I came to the emperor's bed, put my hand on the emperor's wrist, and test his pulse first. , The emperor's pulse is very weak, it seems to be there, and it seems that the poisoning is very deep, but now I am already riding a tiger, and I have to try it whether I live or die.

After a while, Chen Jiu came to the side hall with a few plates of clear water with the palace maids, and Chen Jiu came over to tell me: "Lord Lan, you don't have the net pocket you want now, I will arrange a few clever palace maids to weave, it will be fine in a while, it doesn't matter." ”

"Manager Chen, it's okay, let's wait first, you come over and help me move the emperor, it's not okay to lie flat like this, just let the emperor's head be raised slightly." In fact, I don't know how to do it, I just think it will be better, the more complicated it is, the more difficult it will be for others to understand, let them know that it is not so easy to save the emperor, if it is cured all at once, my credit will be greatly reduced.

After all, I don't know how long it hasn't been used, and I don't know who put it in someone's mouth last time, our lovely emperor is weak, and if it is infected by other bacteria and toxins, it will be even more troublesome.

Chen Jiu was not idle, and ran out to see if the net was weaved, and now the most anxious thing is Chen Jiu, he is the emperor's confidant, the emperor has an accident, and he has no good fruit. I'm also in a hurry, the longer the delay is not good, the poison enters the heart and lungs, I'm afraid that no matter how good the beads are, it will be useless.

This time I came in Chen Jiu finally brought the net pocket, I washed the net pocket, and then put the beads in, looked at the size was just right, and asked Chen Jiu to help, pry the emperor's closed mouth open, now I don't care whether to bully the king or not, it is important to save people, Chen Jiu is also very cooperative, without hesitation, I went to break the emperor's mouth, I stuffed the net bag containing drug beads into the emperor's mouth. The beads are not very big, and the net pocket outside is also woven with silk threads, so it is not difficult to put it in the emperor's mouth, the size is appropriate, and it will not affect the emperor's breathing, I asked Chen Jiu to drag the silk thread exposed on the outside of the net pocket, so as not to accidentally fall into the emperor's stomach.

At this time, there were no timekeeping tools, I remember the Chen brothers told me that they would take it out after an hour when they put it in, and they told Chen Jiu to take it out in an hour.

After explaining Chen Jiu, I went out of the side hall and came to the main hall, the dozen or so imperial doctors were standing in the main hall, and several cabinet bigwigs were sitting on the chairs in the main hall, no one spoke, don't look at dozens of people in the main hall, but there was no sound, seeing me out, Zhang Juzheng stood up and asked, "Lord Lan, how is it." ”

"Master Zhang, it will take several hours for this to come to fruition. Manager Chen is busy inside, and I came out to let you adults wait with peace of mind, don't worry. ”

Zhang Juzheng asked the little eunuch to bring me an embroidery pier and let me sit down, and I didn't speak again, just waited in the hall with everyone.

It wasn't until about an hour that I got up and entered the side hall, I asked Chen Jiu to break the emperor's mouth and pull the beads out of the emperor's mouth, and I didn't take the beads out of the net pocket, so I put them directly into the basin full of water.

I said to Chen Jiu: "Manager Chen, you can rest first, go outside and arrange dinner for a few adults, you also have to eat, it's still early, the beads will be soaked in water for two hours." ”

Chen Jiu stood up and said to me, "Lord Lan, how do you see the emperor, is there any improvement?" ”

I came to the emperor to take a look, although I was still in a coma, but my face was not as dark as just now, it seems that the effect is still there, but I don't know, it will take a few times to get rid of the emperor's poison.

"Manager Chen, you see that the emperor's face is much better, but if you want to go to the root, it will take a long time, you have to be mentally prepared."
