Chapter 546: Three Days of Life
Standing at the gate of the palace, he saw that the palace maids inside looked frightened, Luo Qingluan frowned, and walked in with Dai Yue's hand.
There was a coldness in the spacious palace room, and there was a low sobbing voice, and the queen mother's eyes were red, and she lowered her head to wipe her tears. Nangong Qing paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, like ants on a hot pot. On the bed covered by curtains, Emperor Xichu's body seemed to twitch slightly, and Imperial Physician Hu was holding a silver needle in his hand, and was about to pierce Emperor Xichu's body, but he didn't do it for a long time.
Turning and pacing, Nangong Qing finally saw Luo Qingluan standing at the door, his eyes lit up and he strode over: "Princess Chu, you are finally here, you see that the father and the emperor are ......"
Since she came, Luo Qingluan didn't plan to stand by anymore, let go of Dai Yue's hand, she nodded: "Well, I'll take a look, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much." ”
"Okay, okay, with you, I'll be relieved." Nangong Qing said impatiently: "I believe in you. ”
Seeing Luo Qingluan coming, Imperial Physician Hu was embarrassed, and quickly stood up, and said respectfully: "Princess Chu." ”
"How is the Emperor, what is the situation?" Luo Qingluan looked at him.
"Emperor Taishang, he ......" Imperial Physician Hu cautiously glanced at Nangong Qing before he said: "The Emperor Taishang is only afraid that he will not work, his heart is very weak, and the lower officials have used silver needles to puncture the acupoints to temporarily preserve the vitality of the Emperor Taishang, but it will not last long." ”
When the queen mother on the side heard this, she immediately cried: "Your Majesty, do you want to save your father......"
Nangong Qing hurriedly passed: "Queen Mother, don't worry, with Princess Chu here, my father will be fine." ”
Looking at the appearance of the Queen Mother, Luo Qingluan could see that she was very sad, but Emperor Xichu was like this, he was not in good health when he was forced to give way, and he had been raising it. Now that it's suddenly like this, I really can't support it, but the queen mother doesn't want Emperor Xichu, so she is trying to force it, I'm afraid that she still has to think of a way.
Walking to the bed, Luo Qingluan sat down slowly, and the Queen Mother was already anxious: "Qingluan, your medical skills are known, you must save the emperor......"
"Queen Mother, I will do my best." Luo Qingluan couldn't say anything to death.
Emperor Xichu's face knew at a glance that he was not far from death, but the queen mother wanted to force it, and Luo Qingluan could only hang his life temporarily. Anyway, let's delay it for a while, and then explain it clearly to the Queen Mother later, so that she is mentally prepared, and it will be easy to accept.
With a sweep of his gaze, Luo Qingluan's gaze fell on the silver needle that Imperial Physician Hu had given to Emperor Xichu before.
More than dozens of silver needles were pierced in the head, chest, and lower abdomen of Emperor Xichu, which was bright and shining, making people look extremely weird, and Luo Qingluan judged it little by little by the position of the needles. She knew that the function of Imperial Physician Hu piercing these silver needles must be to hang Emperor Xichu's life, but the specific position of the needles was different from the ghost hand nine needle method she knew in her heart.
There are a total of thirty-six silver needles, and at least more than a dozen of them are in different positions.
There are also three branches, and the acupuncture points are fundamentally different.
This is the difference between ordinary doctors and Master Luo Qingluan's ghost doctors.
Not to mention the different acupuncture points of the needle, even the depth of the needle, the slightest distance will cause a completely different effect. Imperial Physician Hu's line of needles is not without effect, but at most it can make Emperor Xichu hang for two hours. But if the position of these silver needles is changed to allow Emperor Xichu to live for another three days, there may be hope.
After a moment, Luo Qingluan finally moved, she reached out and took out a needle at the center of Emperor Xichu's eyebrows, and then re-pierced it at the left position. After observing for a few more moments, she did so, took out a silver needle, and then plunged it in. Finally, one of the heart is removed and re-inserted into the upper third.
After doing this, Luo Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief.
These three silver needles are the ones that deviate the most from their positions, and they do not play a role in stimulating vitality at all. If she didn't change the position of these three silver needles, she would even put a load on Emperor Xichu's body and hasten his death.
Watching Luo Qingluan's actions from beginning to end, Nangong Qing saw her stop and immediately said, "How is it, Princess Chu?" ”
Shaking her head, Luo Qingluan didn't speak, she only moved the most important three silver needles, and there were at least ten more that needed to be moved. But just now, just a little bit of movement, plus the rush from the Tassel Palace to the Kongming Hall along the way, she felt as if there was some discomfort in her lower abdomen.
Quickly taking his pulse, Luo Qingluan frowned for a moment before letting go of his hand.
It's fine, but she can't be too distracted, otherwise it will affect her body. Especially the matter of moving the silver needle, the difference is thousands of miles, and she must be extremely careful, for fear that her mind will not be enough to consume.
However, there are still more than a dozen silver needles that need to be moved, what should I do......
Suddenly, Luo Qingluan turned his head to stare at Imperial Doctor Hu next to him.
The latter was shocked, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Just now, Luo Qingluan took out the three silver needles he had pierced, which frightened him. Isn't this in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, saying that he is not right to prick the needle? If something happens to His Majesty because of this, he will definitely not be able to escape the blame.
Seeing Princess Chu staring at him, Imperial Physician Hu's heart beat faster and he didn't know how to react. It took a while before he muttered: "Chu, Princess Chu...... Xiaguan, I don't know what Xiaguan ...... just now"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Luo Qingluan said: "Empress Dowager Hu, please do me a favor, the emperor has some silver needles on his body that I am inconvenient to pierce, please do it for you, I will tell you the location, you can see it down." ”
As soon as he heard this, Imperial Physician Hu was pardoned, and it turned out that Princess Chu didn't want to pick his thorn in front of His Majesty, but asked him to help.
"Okay, Princess Chu, you say, the lower officials will do it." Imperial Doctor Hu hurriedly came over, but he didn't dare to sit down, and squatted directly next to the bed.
"The Shenting acupoint is opened, and the left three-thirds position is re-entrenched." Luo Qingluan said slowly.
"Yes." Imperial Physician Hu shook his wrist, then pulled out the head of Emperor Xichu one by one, and then slowly pricked it according to the position Luo Qingluan said. He didn't know the role of Zha here, but since it was said by Luo Qingluan, the emperor and the queen mother had no opinion, so he naturally did it.
"The Tiantu acupoint is opened, and the right two points and one millimeter position are re-planted."
"Yes."
"Zhongfu acupoint opens, the left side is ......"
As soon as Luo Qingluan said it, Imperial Physician Hu didn't want to save it and did it, Nangong Qing couldn't take his eyes off it, and the Queen Mother forgot to cry, staring at every move of the two, and didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
After six stitches like this, Luo Qingluan suddenly remembered something, and said to Nangong Qing: "Your Majesty asked you to get a hundred-year-old ginseng, of course...... If there are more years, so much the better. Let people boil it into ginseng soup and bring it, the thicker the better, and when the needle is finished, immediately give it to the emperor. ”
Nangong Qing immediately instructed the palace people next to him: "Pass on my message, immediately open the inner library, take a hundred-year-old ginseng, and hurry up!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace people hurriedly went.
Luo Qingluan then continued, and continued to instruct Mrs. Hu to change the position of the silver needle.
She really forgot just now that if Emperor Xichu was not allowed to take the ginseng soup and hang herself after the needle, the effect would be worse, at least three days. If it had been before, how could she have made such a mistake? But now, Luo Qingluan obviously felt inattentive and powerless, but fortunately, it was timely and there were no consequences.
She was secretly alert for a few minutes, and relieved her mind before she spoke: "Imperial Doctor Hu, the fatigue continues, Guan Yuan's acupoint is opened, and the next point and two millimeters are pierced." ”
"Yes." Imperial Doctor Hu didn't know that Luo Qingluan almost made a mistake, but with her guidance, he did it in an orderly manner and calmed down.
Two quarters of an hour later, Luo Qingluan finally instructed Imperial Physician Hu to replace the silver needle in the wrong position on Emperor Xichu's body. If it was before, she still needed to use the ghost hand nine stitches to run it, but now she didn't have the strength to do it at all.
Anyway, this is the life of Emperor Xichu, and she can't help it.
Being able to delay his death is already Luo Qingluan's suspicion.
As soon as Luo Qingluan raised her hand, Dai Yue on the side saw it, and hurriedly took out a silk to carefully wipe the sweat from her forehead, worried and complaining. She naturally could see that her young lady had worked hard, but in front of so many people, she couldn't say it.
"Your Majesty, when the ginseng soup comes, just give it to the Emperor Taishang, three times a day, two spoonfuls each time." Luo Qingluan said.
Nangong Qing said eagerly: "Is the father alright?" ”
"Qingluan, the emperor ......," the queen mother also said earnestly.
After all, it has to be said, otherwise it will make them hopeful, Luo Qingluan said with a straight face: "There are some things, in fact, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty should have been mentally prepared a long time ago." From the abdication of the Emperor Taishang, when His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the body of the Emperor Taishang was not good, and it was just dragged on. ”
"Thanks to the Queen Mother's good care, otherwise the Emperor would have ...... long ago"
Seeing that the faces of the Queen Mother and Nangong Qing changed, Luo Qingluan continued: "Now that the Emperor Taishang is terminally ill, even if I give him a boost to wake up, it will only stimulate his last vitality and potential. After three days, no ...... I mean, in three days at most, the Emperor will return to heaven, and I hope that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty will take this opportunity to finish what they have to say, otherwise there will be no chance in the future. ”
"What?" The Queen Mother and Nangong Qing lost their voices at the same time, unable to believe it.
But after a moment, they paused again. They didn't know that what Luo Qingluan said was true, but they didn't want to accept it. But if it is really irretrievable, in fact, the early return of Emperor Xichu is also a relief for him.
"Yes, since that's the case, then thank you Princess Chu." Nangong Qing said gloomily.
At this time, the palace people brought the freshly boiled ginseng soup: "Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is ready." ”
Nangong Qing took it and was just about to feed it to Emperor Xichu, when the Queen Mother shouted: "Wait, Your Majesty, let the mourning family come?" The emperor's time is running out, mourning his family...... I want to feed him personally, personally. As she spoke, a line of tears had slipped from her eyes.
Luo Qingluan looked at it with emotion, even though Emperor Xichu used to be like this, but after all, before he died, there was still a woman who was so good to him, and he should be content in this life.
It was useless to continue here, Luo Qingluan turned around and wanted to say goodbye to Nangong Qing.
"Princess Chu, thank you very much." It just so happened that Nangong Qing also walked out and stood at the door of the hall, his expression still a little sad.
"Your Majesty's condolences are smooth, the Emperor Taishang will insist on at least two or three days, during this time, you can accompany him more."
"Yes, I understand."
"Since it's okay, then I'll go back first."
Nangong Qing said: "I sent someone to send you out, there is a lot of snow on the road, and it will be slower along the way." ”
