At the queen's bedside, there were already two imperial doctors, because the imperial concubine and Concubine Hu were pregnant, so Di Guifei came to visit, and by the way, she listened to the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, just waiting to return to the emperor.

After Yuan Qingling saw the concubine, he first asked the imperial doctor, "How is the situation of the queen mother?" ”

The imperial doctor stepped forward and bowed down and replied: "Back to the princess's words, Niangniang's face is yellow, her body is swollen, her liver is hard, swollen and painful. ”

Yuan Qingling heard this, walked over with the medicine box, and when she saw the queen, she was slightly stunned, she lost a lot of weight, her face and eyes were yellow, and the bedding covered her body, but she could also see that her abdomen was a little swollen, her consciousness was clear, that is, she was mentally exhausted, and when she saw Yuan Qingling coming, there was no light in her eyes, just glanced at it, and looked at King Qi behind her.

Since she was imprisoned in Fangming Palace, she rarely saw her son, she used to have a knot, but now she is sick in bed, she hates her past attachment, and looks at her son with sour eyes.

King Qi tearfully stepped forward to hold her hand, comforted her a few words, and persuaded her to let Yuan Qingling diagnose and treat, and the queen agreed.

Yuan Qingling listened to her heart and lungs first, and then pressed her liver and asked, "Niangniang, does it hurt?" ”

The queen frowned and took a slight breath, "Pain! ”

Yuan Qingling pressed his swollen abdomen again and asked, "What about here?" Does it hurt? ”

The queen still had a painful look, "Pain!" ”

Yuan Qingling checked her legs and found that her legs were already seriously swollen, and it was difficult to bounce them back when she reached out and pressed them.

Fluid accumulation in the abdomen, edema of the lower limbs, pain in the liver and abdomen, and then looking at the yellowing of the face and fundus, the basic diagnosis is hepatic ascites.

Yuan Qingling asked the people who were waiting in the palace, and said that the queen had lost her appetite a month or two earlier, vomited blood and had blood in her stool, and her diarrhea was also relatively serious.

"Fifth sister-in-law, how is it?" King Qi looked at Yuan Qingling and asked.

Yuan Qingling opened the medicine box, checked the medicines that needed to be used, and then said: "Let's administer the medicine first, drain the edema, and see if it can be discharged, if it can't be discharged, I'm afraid that it will be punctured to extract the ascites." ”

She infused albumin into the queen, and then used diuretic drugs, and saw if it could be discharged on its own, if it could be discharged, the situation was not to the worst point, if it could not be discharged, it would be more serious.

After the infusion, I waited in the hall for more than an hour, and the queen had urination, but not much, which was not ideal.

She called King Qi out, telling him to be mentally prepared, if the ascites continued to be serious, the queen would not be able to stay up for long.

King Qi's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and when he saw the eighth brother looking over under the corridor, he tried to hold back and said softly: "Fifth sister-in-law, you do your best." ”

"I'll do my best, but I'll just have to prepare you." Yuan Qing Ling said.

King Qi held back his grief, "I know. ”

Later, the princes and princesses also entered the palace to visit the queen, and the fifth child also came, and the relationship between the queen and the princes in the past was not good, but seeing that she was seriously ill now, everyone had not been called to visit the palace, she was also very touched, and tears condensed in her eyes, but they did not fall.

And the princes, who have experienced the changes of the country, have long not remembered the grievances of the past, as if they had been injured by a knife, so where do they care about the needle prick?

Yuan Yongyi arranged the affairs of the house, and also packed her clothes and entered the palace, she is the queen's serious daughter-in-law, and she should enter the palace to serve the sick.

In the evening, when Di Guifei returned to Emperor Ming Yuan about the queen's situation, Emperor Ming Yuan came over in person. Beautiful book bar

The emperor and queen have not seen each other for a long time, the queen's heart died because of the complete neglect and disgust of Emperor Ming Yuan, everyone came today, she never really cried, and the moment she heard the emperor outside, she suddenly burst into tears, cried bitterly, and cried uncontrollably.

Emperor Ming Yuan was thinking about the love between husband and wife for many years, and when he saw her like this, he felt uncomfortable and sat on the edge of the bed.

The queen cried more and more, "Your Majesty, do you still remember your concubines?" Do you still hate your concubines? ”

Emperor Ming Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and said, "It's all over, you can recuperate." ”

"The concubine is wrong, the concubine is really wrong." The queen's hand grabbed Emperor Ming Yuan's wrist and pressed it on her heart, crying out of breath.

Seeing this, everyone also felt sad, Yuan Qingling was held in her arms by the fifth child, she looked at King Qi, King Qi squatted in front of the curtain, couldn't hold back tears, Yuan Yongyi accompanied him, and he was also in tears.

The queen cried, plus the medicine, and slowly fell asleep, Emperor Ming Yuan got up and asked Yuan Qingling and the imperial doctor, although Di Guifei told him, but he still asked carefully.

The imperial doctor said that the basic situation has reached the worst, because the ascites is serious, and Yuan Qingling does not dare to guarantee that it will be good, so he can only delay, and it will be as long as it is delayed.

Emperor Ming Yuan didn't make a sound when he heard this, but just raised his hand and told everyone to retreat.

Emperor Ming Yuan accompanied the queen for half an hour before leaving, no matter how the queen made mistakes in the past two years, he was still unwilling to take her life, that is, this husband and wife love is difficult to give up.

When it was dark, the fifth couple left the palace and returned home.

After being tired all day, when she arrived in the house, Lao Wu automatically and consciously helped her rub her shoulders and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"What's so hard about this? It's just that when I saw the appearance of the seventh and eighth children, I felt a little uncomfortable. Yuan Qingling sighed.

"Well, yes." The fifth child is also uncomfortable in his heart, he is not worried about the eighth child, the eighth child is very dependent on the queen, once the queen has a good thing, the eighth is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.

Moreover, in the case of the eighth child, no one to take care of him is not as dedicated to the queen, and in these long decades, the eighth child will be very bleak, because no one can take the place of a mother.

In the past, the imperial concubine could still take care of it, but the imperial concubine is pregnant now, and when the child is born in the future, she will definitely be too busy, and she is still in charge of the affairs in the palace, and she will definitely not be able to take care of the eighth child.

The eighth can't build a mansion alone, leaving the palace, no one is at ease, if he relies on Emperor Ming Yuan, he is busy with government affairs, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it a few times a month.

In the end, both of them felt that if the queen was really big, they would raise the eighth child under the name of the mother, and it was better to have the love of mother and son than to be uncared for.

When Yuan Qingling entered the palace the next day, Concubine Di Guifei called her to the side hall to talk.

Concubine Di took out a letter and handed it to her, "This is a letter sent by Tian'er to the palace, the crown princess will take a look." ”

Yuan Qingling was a little surprised that Lao Jiu actually sent a letter to the concubine.

She took it and looked at it, it was a letter from the ordinary greetings, and talked about his own situation, and at the end of the letter, Lao Jiu explained, asking the concubine to take care of Lao Ba more if she was free, saying that he was most at ease with Lao Ba.

After reading the letter, Yuan Qingling was a little confused, "What does Niangniang mean?" ”

Concubine Di Guifei didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "The fourth child went to Jiangbei Mansion, and he may not be able to come back once a year, the emperor almost doesn't come to the palace here now, the days are long and lonely, how to spend it?" Therefore, after the queen fell ill, the palace was thinking, if the queen ......"

She looked at Yuan Qingling and lowered her voice, "This palace wants to take the Eighth Prince to the palace to raise, first, to be a companion, and second, I always hope that the emperor can read the Eighth Prince, and come to the palace a few more times, and the palace will not be hopeless." ”
