"This prescription is very good, no problem, no problem at all." The two imperial doctors said in unison.
Because the patient to be treated was the Empress Dowager Zhou, Gu Qingze chose relatively mild medicinal materials, which would not work so quickly. However, long-term use could eliminate the old diseases of the Empress Dowager Zhou one by one.
"Since the two imperial doctors said there is nothing wrong, then the Ai family will take this medicine!" Empress Dowager Zhou immediately agreed and said, "Now go and prepare a medicine for the Ai family."
The two imperial doctors agreed repeatedly, holding the prescription as if they were rare treasures, and quickly went down to brew the medicine.
Princess Zhaorong bit her lip, almost unable to believe what happened.
Not long ago, the Queen Mother hated questioning Gu Qingze as much as she did. In the blink of an eye, the Queen Mother's attitude completely changed. She still wants to take the medicine prescribed by that country bumpkin
Moreover, this was a banquet held to celebrate his birthday, but as soon as Gu Qingze, a country bumpkin, appeared, all the limelight, all the glory, and other people's attention were attracted to him alone!
She wanted to complain to Queen Mother Zhou, but after Gu Qingze performed acupuncture on Queen Mother Zhou, Queen Mother Zhou had closed her eyes to rest her mind, and she did not dare to disturb her.
Soon, two imperial doctors came back with a bowl of steaming hot medicine that had just been fried.
Princess Zhaorong's eyes lit up and she immediately said: "Empress Dowager, the medicine is ready. Zhaorong wants to test the medicine for you personally."
Queen Mother Zhou opened her eyes, smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to try it. The Ai family believes in the prescriptions of ancient miracle doctors."
Princess Zhaorong still refused to give up: "Empress Dowager, just let Zhaorong try. They say that you can know people but not the heart. Who knows what this country bumpkin has in mind..."
"Shorong! Don't talk nonsense!"
This time it was not Ning Guogong who interrupted and reprimanded her, but the Queen Mother Zhou.
Princess Zhaorong was shocked. Seeing the stern expression on Queen Mother Zhou's face, she did not dare to say anything.
"Bring the medicine, the Ai family must take it now!" Empress Dowager Zhou had no doubts about Gu Qingze's medical skills, and she had no doubts about his character.
Gu Qingze took the medicine bowl and handed it to Queen Mother Zhou.
"This medicine is very bitter, but the bitter taste of good medicine is good for the disease. Don't be afraid of the pain, Queen Mother. It's best to drink it in one go. It will be effective soon."
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded and said: "The Ai family has not endured any hardships in these years. What does this little hardship mean?"
She picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp without even frowning.
Su Jin quickly offered her a cup of fragrant tea to rinse her mouth with, but Queen Mother Zhou shook her head and refused.
For a moment, the hall was very quiet. Everyone was looking at Queen Mother Zhou, wondering what effect she would have after taking the medicine.
Su Jin's expression was very nervous. She clenched her hands into fists and her palms were sweaty, for fear that Queen Mother Zhou would feel uncomfortable.
"Empress Dowager, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" she asked softly.
Queen Mother Zhou shook her head slowly, said nothing, and leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed to rest.
After a while, the expression on Queen Mother Zhou's face became more and more relaxed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
After a while, she actually snored softly.
No one could have imagined that Queen Mother Zhou, who had always been dignified and reserved, would fall asleep like this at a banquet in full view of everyone.
There was a low and incredible buzzing sound in the hall. The ministers held their breath and looked at the sleeping Queen Mother Zhou with strange eyes.
