Concubine Na helped soak a towel in warm water and put it on the emperor's forehead to help cool down. Concubine Na was so anxious that she couldn't do it, now that the Queen Mother and Queen Mother were not there, she couldn't make up her mind, in case the emperor made a mistake, she wouldn't be able to eat, and she couldn't go.

Tang Shenwei was not idle, he thought about the compatibility of the traditional Chinese medicine he had given to the emperor before, and checked the plates, medicinal wine, and gauze that the little imperial doctor brought before. Qu Ping said that it is strictly forbidden for any outsiders to interfere with the emperor's medical supplies.

After Qin Hui was angrily reprimanded by the emperor, he did not go back quickly, but walked slowly, silently calculating the time when the drug would take effect in his heart.

At this time, the two chamberlains hurriedly overtook Qin Hui, and Qin Hui took a look with his heart, isn't it the second of the chamberlains in the emperor's bedroom?

Qin Hui stopped them: "Two, where are you going, in such a hurry?" ”

The chamberlain turned around and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, Lord Qin, the emperor's condition has changed, and it's too late to give you a salute, we have to go to Lord Qu and a few imperial doctors." ”

Qin Hui said: "Go ahead." What about the Queen Mother? ”

The chamberlain replied, "The emperor didn't say it. ”

"Confused! Lord Qu is not a doctor, what's the point of inviting him first? One of you should go to the Imperial Doctor first, and the other should go to the Queen Mother! ”

The two chamberlains looked at each other, what Qin Hui said made sense, but the emperor himself said that he wanted to invite Qu Ping and the imperial doctors! How good is that?

When Qin Hui saw their appearance, he must have been unable to disobey the king's order, so he said: "It's better like this, anyway, this official is going to the prison of the Criminal Department, so I will summon him for you." The two of you quickly go separately to the Queen Mother and the Imperial Doctor. ”

When the two attendants heard Qin Hui say this, they thanked them a thousand times, and then went to find the Queen Mother and the Tai Hospital.

Qin Hui was proud in his heart for a while, and then walked towards the palace gate unhurriedly. When he arrived at the palace gate, Qin Hui told the guards guarding the gate that they should send someone to the Criminal Department to find Zeng Biao Zeng, and ask Zeng to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to pass Qu Ping into the palace, which was the emperor's intention.

The guards were circled by Qin Hui, why didn't they go directly to the prison of the Criminal Department to pass on Lord Qu Ping, but Qin Hui later said that it was the emperor's intention, so the guards had to agree as promised.

Qin Hui made proper arrangements, and walked back to the emperor's bedroom slowly.

The head of the Tai Hospital rushed to the dormitory with three experienced imperial doctors, including internal medicine and surgery, and the emperor had already fainted in pain.

The head of the courtyard hurriedly saluted Concubine Na and asked Tang Shenwei, who had been on duty last night, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Shenwei said: "Everything was fine before the morning, but after changing the medicine, the emperor still talked and laughed, and suddenly ...... The wound is red, swollen, hot and painful, and there is pus, I am afraid that it is stasis and hot knots, causing the disease of rotten flesh! ”

The head of the hospital is responsible for seeing the nobles in the palace all the year round, and he has a strong psychological ability to withstand pressure, knowing that it is meaningless to be in a hurry now, after thinking calmly, he said: "Is there any abnormality in the items that change the dressing?" ”

Tang Shen was slightly frustrated, and the little imperial doctor brought the other words over to the head of the hospital for inspection, and said, "I have carefully examined all kinds of items, and I have not found anything abnormal. Even, I have tasted this wine with my own mouth, you see, I am not good? ”

The head of the hospital personally checked it himself, and the results were completely consistent with Tang Shenwei.

"Could it be, not because of the dressing change?" Tang Shen said slightly.

"It's not a local infection of evil qi, it's a disease that comes from the mouth...... Also, the surgery itself! After the head of the courtyard finished speaking, he looked at Tang Shen with a solemn expression.

Whether it is a cramped trigger or a poison entering from the mouth, Tai Hospital, as the leader of daily wound care and drug treatment, is to blame.

If it is the reason for the operation, then I am afraid only Qu Ping can explain it.

The head of the hospital suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked the little imperial doctor: "You came all the way, but someone interfered, or handed over things to others?" ”

"Nope." The little imperial doctor shook his head and said, he thought about it, and said, "Ah! By the way, I ran into Lord Qin on the road. At that time, my belt was loose, so Lord Qin kindly helped me serve a plate. But it's only for a while, and Lord Qin is facing me, so there shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Lord Qin? Which Lord Qin? The head of the hospital asked.

Tang Shen said slightly: "Which other Lord Qin?" ”

The head of the courtyard nodded, thinking inwardly: "Lord Qin Hui? Sometimes, seeing is not always believing......"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Outside the door, the waiter preached.

Before the Queen Mother entered the door, she had already spoken: "Didn't you say that the crisis has turned into safety, why is her condition getting worse again?" ”

Concubine Na had just wiped Zhao Gou's sweat, and when she heard the voice of the Queen Mother, she didn't have time to put down the towel, so she knelt down to greet the Queen Mother.

The imperial doctors also hurried to greet the queen mother, not daring to make a slight mistake.

The Queen Mother is on fire now, and everyone has to be careful.

The queen mother was accompanied by two palace maids into the palace gate, she had a cold face, glanced at everyone in the house, looked disgusted, and said sharply: "What about the queen?" ”

Concubine Na knew that the Queen Mother's words would only be asked to herself, and it seemed that she had not won much favor with the Queen Mother since she entered the palace for a year. She felt a little aggrieved in her heart, but it was enough for the emperor and the queen to understand and care about her.

Concubine Na replied: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the Queen has just returned to the palace. ”

The Queen Mother muttered: "If you don't go back sooner or later, what will you go back at this time?" ”

The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.

At this time, the waiter outside shouted again: "The queen has arrived...... Pan Guifei has arrived! ”

Empress Wu and Concubine Pan entered the hall with their front and back feet, and soon after, Concubine Xing also hurried over.

What the emperor got was not a minor illness such as the common cold, but a serious illness that had been disemboweled, and even had reached the level of disembowelment. Therefore, the emperor's smile and smile all affect the hearts of the people in the harem and even the court. bar

The queen and the concubines bowed respectfully to the queen mother, and the queen mother snorted secretly, not to be angry again, walked to the emperor's dragon couch, and asked the head of the hospital: "How is the emperor?" ”

The head of the hospital glanced at Tang Shenwei, and Tang Shenwei replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, after the emperor changed the medicine today, the pain in the wound was suddenly unbearable, and he had a high fever, and he just fell asleep." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Gou, who was still frowning when she fell asleep, and was distressed, and asked again: "Is this a coma!?" ”

The emperor was indeed asleep, but Tang Shenwei didn't dare to say it.

The head of the hospital said: "Queen Mother, according to the joint examination of everyone in the Tai Hospital, it is inferred that the emperor should be a wound with evil poison and stasis, and his blood attacks his heart, and he temporarily fell asleep. We're already stepping up the decoction. ”

The Queen Mother asked, "What is the reason for this?" ”

"Not yet." The first road of the hospital.

"There is always a reason, analyze them one by one for this palace!" The Queen Mother broke the casserole and asked to the end.

The head of the courtyard was helpless, and glanced at Tang Shenwei beside him for help, and then looked up at Empress Wu behind the queen mother's side, and then said: "Maybe the wound is locally infected with evil qi, maybe the disease enters from the mouth, or maybe it ...... It is the cause of the operation itself. ”

After listening to this, Empress Dowager Wei read it in her heart, and said to herself: "The wound is partially infected, that is, you are too poor in the hospital; Illness comes from the mouth ......"

Empress Dowager Wei glanced at Concubine Na, saw Concubine Na standing with her eyebrows lowered and her hands down, and said, "...... That's what it has to do with food. If it is the cause of the operation itself, the palace must ask Qu Ping! ”

The queen whispered: "Queen Mother, the situation is unclear now, let's focus on making the emperor better." ”

With Empress Dowager Wei here, although Empress Wu is the head of the harem, she is not the real master of the harem, and she has no intention of wrestling with Empress Dowager Wei, so she has to look at Empress Dowager Wei's face in case of trouble.

Empress Dowager Wei said in her heart Do you want you to teach me, but her daughter-in-law has always been filial and benevolent, and she has no excuse to find fault with Queen Wu.

After the Taiyi decoction of the Chinese medicine, he trotted all the way over, and tried a sip by himself in front of everyone. After a few minutes, Empress Wu took the decoction and fed it to the sleeping Zhao Gou one by one.

Empress Dowager Wei was indignant and said hatefully: "When the truth is found out, this palace will not spare him!" ”

Everyone didn't know who Empress Dowager Wei was referring to, so they didn't dare to speak, just hoping that the emperor would get better slowly after drinking the medicine, at least he would wake up first.

After the emperor drank the medicine, he didn't wake up after a stick of incense. The Queen Mother and others were anxious.

At this time, Qin Hui came in, saw the Empress Dowager Wei, and bowed his head: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager!" When the minister heard that the emperor's condition had taken a turn for the worse, he hated to come with wings and couldn't suffer for the emperor! ”

When Empress Dowager Wei saw that Qin Hui was the first to ask about the emperor's condition, she was satisfied, and Qin Hui was considerate. She beckoned Qin Hui and said, "Get up, you still have a heart." ”

Concubine Na saw Qin Hui go and returned, and asked, "Lord Qin, didn't the emperor ask you to change Lord Qu Ping?" Why are you coming back? ”

Empress Dowager Wei didn't know what was happening in the morning, but she didn't want to listen to Concubine Na, so she said, "Shut up!" Lord Qin is loyal to the monarch and the country, who will come if he doesn't come! Lord Qin's personality has a lot of experience when this palace is in the northern country! ”

Concubine Na pursed her lips angrily, not daring to say anything more.

Empress Dowager Wei said again: "Lord Qin, the emperor has just finished drinking the medicine, you can sit down and rest first." ”

Qin Hui was proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, glanced at Empress Wu and other concubines who were standing straight, and said, "The queen and all the ladies are hard. ”

Empress Wu asked Qin Hui: "Lord Qin is here alone?" ”

Qin Hui replied, "The other adults may be behind." ”

Empress Dowager Wei pulled her face and said, "What's the use of so many people!" ”

The air was quiet again.

Qin Hui glanced at the dressing change waste in the basket on the table, there was still pus oozing from the emperor's wound on the gauze, maybe there was still poison remaining.

Qin Hui said: "Queen Mother, these discarded dressings and gauze are inevitably dirty, which may not be conducive to the emperor's recovery." Why don't you take them outside and burn them first? ”

Empress Dowager Wei nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The chamberlain obeyed the order and was about to get the bamboo basket, Tang Shen moved slightly in front of the bamboo basket, plucked up his courage and said: "Queen Mother, in these dressings, you may be able to trace the source and find out the cause of the emperor's illness." ”

"This ......" Empress Dowager Wei hesitated, and Tang Shenwei was reasonable.

Qin Hui said: "If the cause can be found, it will be found out a long time ago!" Wouldn't it be detrimental to the emperor's recovery if he kept it here like this? ”

"Why is it not conducive to the emperor's recovery?"

Suddenly, a word came from outside the hall, and two people entered the hall one after the other.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads in surprise, and it turned out to be Li Gang, and behind Li Gang was Qu Ping.

Qin Hui said in his heart: "Why did Qu Ping follow Li Gang?" It stands to reason that he shouldn't have come so soon, right? ”

As everyone knows, Qin Hui called the guards out of the palace at the gate of the palace to spread the word, which was already a big mistake.

Although Chen Chong became the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he still had a Jianghu atmosphere, and he treated the Praetorian Guards below, all of them were helping and taking care of him, and the Praetorian Guards did not obey Chen Chong's orders.

And Chen Chong followed Qu Ping all the way up, and received a lot of support from Qu Ping, Chen Chong is Qu Ping's brother.

Therefore, Qin Hui informed the palace gate guards, which was equivalent to telling Chen Chong.

Chen Chong received the news and immediately secretly conveyed it to Prime Minister An Wang Li Gang. Li Gang learned that the emperor was seriously ill, and he didn't dare to delay for half a moment, so he went to the prison of the Criminal Department impatiently and in a hurry, and couldn't help but take Qu Ping away and pull him into the carriage, and rushed all the way into the palace.
