Chapter 627: A Dilemma
readx;
The crown prince Li Zhi bowed down and said, "Divine doctor, you must do your best to save my father and emperor!" ”
Zuo Shaoyang glanced back at him and snorted, thinking to himself, what do you call me?
In his concept, Li Zhi is now his son-in-law, so he should naturally call himself father-in-law, how can he call himself by such an ordinary name as a miracle doctor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He forgot that Li Zhi is a king, he is a subject, so the title is different from ordinary people, those who have an official position are called official positions, and those who do not have a title are called by the word divine doctor, which is not inappropriate, and it is already an honorific title.
The prince didn't know what Zuo Shaoyang meant by snorting, he was a little cowardly in his original surname, and he hurriedly bowed again.
The flavored Coptis detoxification soup used for detoxification was decoctioned, because the emperor had woken up and could swallow the potion, and the queen personally fed the emperor.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "The emperor's condition is too critical, and he must adjust his medication according to his symptoms at any time, and I will live in the emperor's bedroom these days." ”
Empress Eldest Sun was overjoyed and blessed with a gift: "Thank you Divine Doctor!" "Immediately asked someone to prepare a small bed for Zuo Shaoyang in the corner of the emperor's bedroom.
After the emperor took the medicine, he fell into a coma again.
Zuo Shaoyang's heart was heavy, and he went out of the door with his hands behind his back. The ministers hurriedly greeted him, and the eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "Divine doctor, how is the emperor's illness?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said in a low voice: "It is very critical, and it may ...... at any time, alas! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "The divine doctor must try his best to treat the emperor......"
Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will do my best to heal the emperor." ”
He said so, but his heart was still heavy. Because the emperor's poison is too deep, he is not sure that he can save it. Seeing Princess Changle on the side, he walked over and said, "Madam, please come aside and talk!" ”
In front of so many ministers, Zuo Shaoyang actually called the princess Mrs. as if she were an ordinary daughter-in-law, which stunned all the old ministers.
Princess Changle looked a little embarrassed, but she still followed Zuo Shaoyang to the side. Looking at him: "Why are you only here now?" You don't want to save my royal brother at all, do you? ”
Zuo Shaoyang said angrily: "What did you say? Make it clear, I already made it clear to you before I left, the national teacher's medicine can't be eaten, that thing will take your imperial brother's surname! You, your royal brother, and the queen, have you listened? What now? People are dying, but you blame me for not coming back in time? Your imperial brother doesn't kill the harmful national teacher, what am I going to do when I come back? I cured him of the next harm? Whose is that? If you have a conscience, cover your conscience and think about it, what was your royal brother like when I left? -- I have basically returned to normal, I can take care of state affairs, and I can eat and drink. And then? He continued to take the elixir of the national teacher, and he became like this. I asked him to kill the national teacher, and I will treat him, the national teacher is the culprit who caused him to become like this, but your imperial brother insisted on not listening, until he was terminally ill, he didn't believe my words, now what do you let me do? If it's like this, you don't blame your royal brother for not listening to me, but blame me. Do you still have a conscience?! ”
Princess Changle's pretty face turned red, thinking about it, Zuo Shaoyang had already warned, but everyone thought that the national teacher who came from Tianzhu should be strong in spells, and the elixir of life refined must be useful, but they didn't believe that it was that thing that made the emperor sick. Later, the facts educated the emperor and his relatives and knew that what Zuo Shaoyang said was true, but Zuo Shaoyang always didn't come, and he was anxious, so he said such things.
Princess Changle wept and said, "I said something wrong, isn't it okay?" I beg you to hurry up and save my royal brother. If I can save his life, I'll ...... and be a real husband and wife with you, okay? ”
Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "Don't use this in exchange, and don't talk to me in this tone, do you think I'm rare?" I tell you, you had to listen to me at the beginning, but now there is nothing to do, and the emperor will live well. Now, to tell you the truth, your imperial brother has been poisoned very deeply, and at most he is only 20% sure that he can save his surname! ”
"Twenty percent?" Princess Changle was anxious, "Can't you think of more ways?" ”
"Okay, I'll do my best."
After that, Zuo Shaoyang returned to the dormitory.
However, he was faced with a very difficult problem, which was found after examination, and this time the emperor was poisoned, not only lead and mercury, but also other poisons were mixed together, and it was difficult for the medicine to be detoxified at once, and he had to take a large dose of antidote for a long time and detoxify it slowly. And Li Shimin's body has been riddled with poison, extremely weakened, and he can't withstand the effect of a stronger medicine at all! And he was poisoned too deeply, and without large doses and fierce drugs, there was no way to expel the poison!
Now it has become a dilemma, no strong medicine, no cure; With fierce medicine, the body can't bear it, and before the poison is removed, people will whine!
In the next ten days, Zuo Shaoyang can be said to have exhausted all the methods, and all the tricks he can think of have been used. Still can't break this cycle! Li Shimin's condition is getting more and more critical!
On two occasions, the dose of his medicine was a little larger, and Li Shimin's heart stopped! Hurriedly used cardiac resuscitation to revive him. I don't dare to use large doses of drugs anymore, so I can only look forward to slowly conditioning and detoxification for a long time.
But the poisoning did not give him such a chance to grind, and it eroded Li Shimin's body step by step. Pull him towards death step by step!
Empress Changsun's tears dried up, seeing that Zuo Shaoyang's clothes were not untied for more than ten days, and countless prescriptions were changed, but there was still no effect, and she was sad in her heart, if even Zuo Shaoyang could not be cured, then the emperor's illness seemed to be incurable.
These words, the crown prince Li Zhi acted as the agent of the state affairs, and the handling of state affairs was also in an orderly manner, and every time he was busy, the prince had to wait in front of Li Shimin's sickbed. Even all night long. And Wu Meiniang and other concubines also followed the queen to serve beside her, Zuo Shaoyang secretly observed with cold eyes, and saw Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang go out and come back several times. There is spring in the corners of the eyes.
Zuo Shaoyang understands that the two have hooked up, Li Shimin is dead, and Li Zhi is the emperor, who is painful on the surface, but actually happy. And Wu Meiniang is even more so, when a seriously ill old emperor is a talented person, it is better to please a new young emperor and honor the world in the future. Therefore, these two people cried to death on the surface, but secretly had a tryst. Pity her daughter Zuo Wenzhi, whose surname is weak and kind, everything is kept in the dark, and she still kneels there and cries with the girls.
Zuo Shaoyang looked at his daughter Zuo Wenzhi distressedly, thinking about how to let her daughter avoid this danger.
But after thinking about it, there is still no way.
Li Shimin's condition is getting worse and worse, and he is unconscious most of the time every day, and only using Huiyang to save the reverse pill can make him wake up for a while. Every time I woke up, I had to thank Zuo Shaoyang once, which made Zuo Shaoyang feel uncomfortable.
In order to pray for the emperor, Empress Changsun donated a lot of things to temples across the country, allocated a large amount of money, and put gold dust on the old temple Bodhisattva to build a new temple. Let all the concubines, princes, and princesses copy the Buddhist scriptures by hand, recite the scriptures themselves, and pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.
However, Emperor Li Shimin's illness was getting worse and worse.
After some more days, it was finally the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zuo Shaoyang did not go home for the New Year, and has been staying by Li Shimin's side, his sister-in-law Zuo Wenyuan and daughter-in-law Princess Xincheng, as well as his daughter Zuo Wenzhi and son-in-law Prince Li Zhi, have not celebrated the New Year, and have been staying by Li Shimin's side with the queen.
Of course, the emperor is seriously ill and the whole country knows it, so every family is also very restrained during the New Year, and they dare not be too festive. Especially the official eunuch's house, it is not too old.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zuo Shaoyang was in a wing room of Li Shimin's dormitory, reading through the medical books left by several old divine doctors behind closed doors. He didn't know how many times he had flipped through it, and he had used some of the recipes he thought were useful, but it still didn't work. Now flipping through it is just a psychological comfort.
Because Li Shimin has been in a coma for three days and three nights, he has incontinence. Zuo Shaoyang knew that Li Shimin's last time had come.
On the side of the dormitory, there was a faint sound of suppressed crying, Zuo Shaoyang was in an irritable mood, slapped the book on the table with a snap, and turned around the room with his hands behind his back. All the medicines that can be used have been used, and there are several ways to detoxify Zuo Shaoyang, but none of them can exert full medicinal power in small doses to expel the two mixed poisons in the body.
If only we could find a way to help the emperor increase his body's resistance and endure the medicine. However, he couldn't find a suitable way to quickly increase the emperor's physical resistance.
Just now, he found that his son-in-law Li Zhi had sneaked out with Wu Meiniang again, presumably the two of them were reluctant to bear the thirty nights of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Get ready to welcome the New Year together.
If this continues, as soon as the emperor dies, Li Zhi is afraid that he will soon abolish his daughter Zuo Wenzhi and establish Wu Meiniang as the queen. If it's just like this, I'm afraid that Wu Meiniang will use means to chop off her daughter's hands and feet and put them in the wine jar like in history. -- This must not happen!
If you have insight into the future, but still let this happen, it is too much!
But what now?
He was wandering around the room like a headless fly when there was a knock at the door.
Those who can knock on the door here are naturally relatives of the emperor, and the palace maids and eunuchs will not knock on the door, and they will only report at the door if there is something.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly came to the door, opened the door, and saw Empress Changsun standing at the door with a sad face.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Niangniang." ”
The queen nodded, stepped in, walked to the middle of the house, turned back slowly, and said, "Divine doctor, the emperor is ......, can he still be saved?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang looked at his heartbroken expression and wanted to nod, but his head couldn't be clicked, because he couldn't solve the dilemma, and the emperor's body was extremely weak, causing him to be unable to tolerate large doses of medication. The result must be either poisoning and death due to insufficient drug power, or sudden death due to too strong drug force.
Empress Eldest Sun burst into tears.
At this time, a person appeared in the dark night outside the house, it was Zuo Shaoyang's new wife, Princess Changle. She stepped in with her skirt and looked at Zuo Shaoyang sadly: "My imperial brother is dying in an instant, why don't you save him?" Do you have to force me? ”
"What did I force you?" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly.
"Okay, I was wrong, as long as you apologize to you, what I said wrong at the beginning, please forgive me, whether you can save my imperial brother or not, when you get home, I will be a real husband and wife with you, okay? Please save my royal brother. I'm not exchanging with you, I promise you, I will be a real husband and wife with you, I am begging you in the name of my wife! As she spoke, Princess Changle cried mournfully and slowly fell to her knees.
Empress Eldest Sun was taken aback: "What did you say?" Have you and the divine doctor not yet become a real husband and wife? ”
Princess Changle whimpered and crawled to the ground: "Yes, I asked to only be a superficial husband and wife with him, it must be this, which made him angry, so he refused to rescue the imperial brother, woo woo woo ......"
Empress Eldest Sun stomped her feet and said, "You! How can you do that! How do you make us face the Zuo family? ”
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I apologize and let the queen punish me!"
Empress Eldest Sun burst into tears: "How can I punish you? You are now the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. Queen Feng burst into tears and looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "I'm sorry, Divine Doctor, Chang Le knows that he is wrong, just forgive her, she will have a good time with you in the future." ”
Zuo Shaoyang couldn't cry or laugh: "I really didn't treat the emperor because of this!" If I hadn't tried to save him, I wouldn't have come! Even if our husband and wife are fake, he can't be my brother-in-law, how can he also be my daughter's father-in-law, my son's father-in-law, isn't my in-laws? Of course it's helpful for me that he's alive......"
Speaking of which, Zuo Shaoyang's heart suddenly moved, yes, as long as the emperor Li Shimin is allowed to live, prolong his life, at least live the life of Wu Zetian, then the crown prince Li Zhi will not be able to be the emperor, and Wu Meiniang will not be able to become the queen, she will not be the queen, she is a tiger who has no teeth and no claws, so there is no need to be afraid of her!
Zuo Shaoyang was a little amused by this simple truth, which he only thought of now. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh immediately, because he couldn't cure Emperor Li Shimin's illness! Li Shimin won't live for a few days!
When his head was tumbling like a river and a sea, Princess Changle said sadly: "Husband, you have a way to treat the emperor, but you are reluctant, you refuse to use it!" ”
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned: "What can I do?" ”
Princess Changle knelt straight, wiped a handful of tears, turned her heart sideways, and said: "The royal brother is in danger, the queen is not easy to say, I will say, I am your wife, I said, how you want to punish when you go back, I admit it." ”
"Don't talk about this yet, what method do I refuse to use?"
"Life Extension!"
"What?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned.
"When the old doctor Sun Simiao was leaving, he said that if there is anyone in the world who can save my imperial brother's life, it is only you. If there is a way to save the emperor's brother in the world, it is the art of prolonging life! It's just that this spell is a single lineage, and if he teaches you, you can't teach it to others. ”
"Life Extension?" Zuo Shaoyang naturally knew that this spell was the technique of returning to the void and spitting out the void that he had practiced for twenty years. It is a supreme health regimen. I relied on this kind of spell, and now I am in my forties, but I am still the same as in my twenties.
Can this thing heal?
