Tai Chi Temple.

Shen Shu ordered the medical attendant to turn the black pill into water and feed it to the female envoy with the incense ash mark on her eyebrows.

At the moment when the female envoy was subdued, Shen Shu saw the incense ash mark on her eyebrows, slowly becoming longer from an extremely short strand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One, two, three......

It didn't stop until it turned into three complete incense ash imprints.

At the same time, the envoy gradually calmed down from coughing up blood.

"The pulse is stable, and in another three or five hours, you should be able to wake up." After Twilight and the pulse were checked, he whispered.

"Three or Five Hours ......"

The queen looked at Shen Shu anxiously: "But the emperor ......"

The emperor's Yang Shou has less than three hours left, and he can't wait for the female envoy to wake up to verify whether the black pill is effective.

It can't be verified, and how can it be known if it will work on the emperor's condition.

When Shen Shu heard this, she withdrew her gaze from the female envoy's eyebrows.

Although she didn't understand the poison on the female envoy's body, why it hadn't been completely solved.

However, it is better to live three more days than three hours.

This is especially true of female envoys, not to mention the emperor who does not have much longevity.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu settled down.

She was about to open her mouth and ask the Empress to test the medicine for the Emperor—

[Pencil www.qbxs.xyz] "Queen Mother, the poison on my father's body can't wait that long. ”

Chu Yi's voice came from behind Shen Shu: "Since the situation of this female envoy has improved, the son asks the queen mother for permission to test the medicine for his father, and all the consequences will be borne by the son minister." ”

Shen Shu turned around in surprise, and saw Chu Yi coming from the gate of the hall, walking in a hurry, obviously rushing back.

Chu Yi was not an imperial doctor, and this rash opening of his mouth attracted the attention of everyone in the main hall.

With the experience of the prince, coupled with the prince's previous remarks of "seizing the heir", Chu Yi's words made everyone look at him, with a bit of meaning.

Only Shen Shu knows-

He said it for her so that she would not be held accountable for any crime.

"Mother." Shen Shu turned around and hurriedly explained: "The emperor's old poison is added to the new poison, the condition is complicated, and the black pill is taken with water now, which can play a certain role, you can give it a try." ”

When the queen heard this, her eyebrows were slightly loose.

She was about to nod—

"Mother, this is not appropriate."

The clan ministers above the main hall knelt down and said: "The life of the Son of Heaven is not allowed to be a child's play, it is better to wait for the female envoy to wake up, make sure that this medicine is available, and then give the emperor medicine, it is the best policy." ”

"Yes, sis."

"Please think twice!"

Among these people, there may be some of them arranged by the prince in advance.

But what's more is that after seeing the "lessons from the past" of the queen mother and the crown prince tonight, for the sake of the emperor, he stepped forward to stop it.

As bystanders, they naturally did not know that the emperor had not lived much.

Whatever their reason –

In this situation, even if he is as noble as a queen, he can't nod his head to grant Chu Yi's request without a proper reason.

Chu Yi had already expected such a situation, he knelt down on one knee and said to the queen: "Erchen is willing to guarantee his life, if his father and son die, Erchen is willing to accompany his father to the funeral." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

This is the second time that Chu Yi has said such a thing.

Especially now—

The crown prince was involved in the murder of his father and had lost his qualifications to reach the top, while Chu Yi, who was also the queen's concubine, was in charge of the 800,000 forbidden army and was the best candidate to inherit the throne.

When he said such things in public, it meant that if the emperor died, he would not only give up the throne, but also his life.

Speaking of this, it is difficult for the ministers of the full hall to say a word of obstruction.

Seeing this, the queen said to Shen Shu: "Lord Anding, according to what you say, I will use medicine for the emperor." ”

*

A quarter of an hour later—

Shen Shu personally fed the water turned into the black pill to the emperor.

At the moment when the emperor took the potion, Shen Shu clearly saw the incense ash mark on his eyebrows, like the female envoy, slowly changing from a very short wisp to slowly becoming longer......

until it becomes three complete ash imprints.

The emperor's face also changed from the previous withered to a little more vibrant.

At Shen Shu's signal, Dusk He stepped forward to check the emperor's pulse.

"Niangniang, the emperor's pulse is stable!" Twilight and surprise him.

When the queen heard this, she didn't dare to believe it.

She looked at Shen Shu with hope in her eyes.

Shen Shu replied: "The emperor's body has always been poisonous, and like the female envoy, the poison has not been completely resolved, but it is not as dangerous as before. ”

This finally made the queen breathe a sigh of relief.

"When will the emperor wake up?" She asked hurriedly.

This issue is also the most concerned by the ministers of the clan in the main hall.

"The emperor has been poisoned for a long time......," Shen Shu replied truthfully: "This is the first time to use medicine, it remains to be seen, as for the time to wake up...... The courtiers could not yet say. ”

Because of the three incense ash marks, Shen Shu was really not sure that the emperor would wake up.

The people in the hall were obviously not very satisfied with such an answer.

Even the queen couldn't hide her disappointment in her eyes.

Ordinary people have this idea about doctors - they think that "when the doctor is cured, the disease must be cured".

As everyone knows, the emperor's illness is dangerous step by step, and he has already wandered many ways in the ghost gate.

Chu Yi took in everyone's reactions, he looked at the queen, and comforted him gently: "Queen Mother, the imperial doctor said that the poisoned female envoy will wake up in three or five hours, and the father may wake up at that time, let's wait and see." ”

This kind of words, if they come out of Shen Shu's mouth, are doctor's orders.

At that time, if the emperor does not wake up, the responsibility is not something she can bear.

can be said from Chu Yi's mouth, it is a kind of expectation, and it has the power to stabilize people's hearts.

"Yes." The queen's eyes rekindled hope: "Shiro is right, the emperor is the body of a true dragon, and with the protection of the gods, he will be able to turn the tide of danger." ”

The queen and Chu Yi both said this, and even though the clan relatives and courtiers above the main hall had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything more.

It's just that when the queen wanted everyone to go back to rest, everyone only withdrew from the Taiji Hall and waited, unwilling to leave.

And so four hours passed—

The envoy finally woke up, but the emperor remained unconscious, showing no signs of waking up.

The clan ministers outside the main hall all talked about it.

Among them, they are all speculating that this black pill turning water really can't solve the poison on the emperor's body-

It's still His Royal Highness King Yi, all the things he used to do were just a show, and he didn't want the emperor to wake up at all.

Shen Shu has been guarding the emperor's bed, she has always stared at the emperor's eyebrows, and even the female envoy has never taken her eyes off when she woke up.

She watched the incense ash mark on the emperor's eyebrows, from a complete three, to a little mutilated.

This means that the end of the emperor's longevity has begun to get closer and closer as time goes by.

However, Shen Shu noticed that the emperor's complexion was turning around a little.

This was a sign that the poison should wake up......

Could it be that in the next three days, in addition to the poison on the emperor's body, what accidents will happen?

Thinking so, she pulled Chu Yi aside and told Chu Yi about her discoveries one by one.

When Chu Yi heard this, his face turned cold.

In order to avoid any possibility of accidents, he vigorously expelled all the clan ministers kneeling outside the palace from the palace.

And such an act naturally caused an uproar among the courtiers.

For a time, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt outside the palace gate.

Even the harem concubines gathered outside the Taiji Hall and cried.

It was as if the emperor had really died.

And so, two more days—

When Shen Shu was at a loss, he didn't know how to further detoxify the emperor.

Ying Liu hurriedly came to report: "The county lord of Anding, Mrs. Jiang has arrived in the capital, and she said that there is a way to cure the emperor's poison." ”
