The moment she stepped into the Queen Mother Zhou's chamber in Shoukang Palace, Shen Ning finally understood why Chu Shaobai had begged her to take a look.
She saw a skinny man lying on the hospital bed.
Most of his hair was sparse and fell out. Although he was covered with a brocade quilt, it could still be seen that the man was so thin that he was covered with bones. The exposed head looked like a skeleton, with deep-set eye sockets, protruding cheekbones, and a pimpled face. Full of wrinkles.
Looks like a mummy.
She was stunned.
The dormitory was filled with a medicinal aura, but there was only one imperial doctor standing in the corner, decoction on a small red clay stove.
Sujin was sitting on the bed, gently wiping the face of the mummy.
Six years have passed, and Sujin has also changed. There are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and a few strands of white hair on her temples. She looks haggard and absent-minded.
But Shen Ning still recognized her at a glance.
Could it be that the mummy on the bed is Queen Mother Zhou
She was like a living dead, only her chest was still rising and falling slightly, making it look like she was still alive.
Except for Su Jin and an imperial doctor, there was no one else around.
It was very pitiful to be alone.
Shen Ning originally hated her very much, but seeing this scene, she felt sympathy.
She is no longer the vicious Queen Mother, but a poor person who is terminally ill and about to die.
Chu Shaobai did not look at Queen Mother Zhou on the bed. Since he walked in the door, his eyes had not left Shen Ning.
Although he didn't speak any more, his eyes were full of pleading.
Shen Ning sighed, helpless because of her soft heart.
She felt even more sad for the Empress Dowager Zhou who was lying dead on the bed.
"I can try to see if it can be cured, but I'm not sure." She said to Chu Shaobai.
"Thank you, thank you." Chu Shaobai was overjoyed, with tears flashing in his eyes.
Su Jin turned around and saw that it was Chu Shaobai, a look of relief flashed on her face.
The Queen Mother Zhou was critically ill and only had one breath left. Although she had long known that the Queen Mother would leave one day sooner or later, she saw the vitality slowly slipping away from the Queen Mother Zhou's body bit by bit, and she was helpless. This kind of Only she knows the feeling of helplessness and sadness.
During this time, Queen Mother Zhou was seriously ill, and bad news came from Mochuan, which undoubtedly made matters worse. Queen Mother Zhou was instantly knocked down by this blow, and she never got up again after she fell.
Over the years, Queen Mother Zhou had been tortured by the poison in her body to the point of death, and she managed to survive by relying on rare medicinal materials such as ginseng, snow lotus and so on. However, she never expected that the son she had placed such high hopes on would be dying.
The breath she had been holding on to for so long suddenly came out.
The current Queen Mother Zhou's life is like a thread and she may pass away at any time.
Sujin's tears had long since dried up, and she could wait calmly for the last moment to arrive.
She had made up her mind that if the Queen Mother Zhou passed away, she would definitely go with the Queen Mother.
During this period of time, all the imperial doctors were worried about Mo Chuan's condition. Empress Dowager Zhou only had one imperial physician left. Although Su Jin also cared about Mo Chuan, she couldn't keep him away from him and could only send people there at any time. Inquire about Mo Chuan.
It's a pity that everyone who inquired came back with sad news.
Sujin didn't know why God tortured the mother and son like this and even took them both away together.
Your Majesty, he is still so young!
Fortunately, after the emperor had a baby, he brought back a little prince who was smart, lively and cute.
