There were already two imperial doctors beside the queen's bed. Because the imperial concubine and concubine Hu were both pregnant, Concubine Di came to visit and listened to the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, just waiting to report back to the emperor.
After seeing the imperial concubine, Yuan Qingling first asked the imperial doctor, "How is the queen empress?"
The imperial doctor stepped forward and replied: "If you return to the princess, the empress will turn yellow, her body will be swollen, and her liver will become hard, swollen and painful. It is estimated that her liver qi is stagnant, and her qi and blood are stagnant, and her internal organs have been injured."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, she carried the medicine box and walked over. When she saw the queen, she was slightly startled. She lost a lot of weight, her face was yellow, and the bedding was covering her body, but she could still see it. Her abdomen was a little swollen, and her consciousness was sober, she was mentally tired. Seeing Yuan Qingling, there was no light in her eyes. She just glanced at it and looked at King Qi behind her.
Since being imprisoned in the Fangming Hall, she has rarely seen her son. She used to have a knot in her heart, but now she is ill in bed. She hates her old attachments and looks at her son baffledly with sore eyes.
King Qi came forward holding her hand with tears, comforted 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, then pressed her liver and asked, "Manny, is it painful?"
The queen frowned and took a breath, "Pain!"
Yuan Qingling pressed her swollen abdomen again and asked, "What about here? Does it hurt?"
The queen still had a painful expression just now, "Pain!"
Yuan Qingling checked her legs and found that her legs had been swollen very seriously. It was difficult to bounce back when she reached out and pressed it down.
Abdominal fluid accumulation, lower extremity edema, liver and abdomen pain, and then looking at the yellowish complexion and eyes, the basic diagnosis is liver ascites.
Yuan Qingling asked the people who served in the palace, saying that the queen had a lack of appetite one or two months earlier, had vomited blood, had blood in the stool, and had more serious diarrhea.
"Wu Sister-in-law, how is it?" Wang Qi asked when he looked at Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling opened the medicine box and checked the medicines needed. They were all complete, and said: "Let's administer first, let's drain the edema, and see if it can be drained. If it can't be drained, I am afraid that the ascites will be drawn out by puncture."
She infused the queen with albumin, and then used diuretic drugs to see if she could excrete it spontaneously. If it could be excreted, the situation was not the worst. If it could not be excreted, it would be more serious.
After the infusion, I waited for an hour in the palace. The queen urinates, but not much, which is not ideal.
She asked King Qi to go out, so that he had better be mentally prepared. If the ascites persists, the queen can't stand it for long.
King Qi's eyes were red, and tears rolled over him. Seeing the eighth brother looking over from the corridor, he tried hard to hold back and whispered: "Fifth sister, you do your best."
"I will try my best, but I have to make you mentally prepared." Yuan Qingling said.
King Qi resisted his grief, "I know."
Later, the princes and princesses also came to the palace to visit the queen, and the fifth came. The relationship between the queen and the princes was not good in the past, but now that everyone is seriously ill, everyone came to the palace to visit without being called. I was also very touched, tears condensed in the bottom of my eyes, but did not fall.
But the princes, who have gone through the country's changes, have not remembered the grievances of the past, like being injured by a knife, how can they care about the needle stick
Yuan Yongyi arranged things in the palace and packed her clothes into the palace. She is the queen's serious daughter-in-law, and she deserves to go to the palace.
In the evening, when Concubine Di Guifei reported the situation of Emperor Ming Yuan about the queen, Emperor Ming Yuan came in person.
The empress hasn’t seen each other for a long time. The empress’s heart is dead because of the total neglect and disgust of the Ming and Yuan Emperors. Everyone came today, and she never really shed tears. The moment the emperor Xuan came to the outside, she suddenly burst into tears. , Weeping bitterly, crying beyond containment.
After all, Emperor Ming Yuan had been thinking about the relationship between husband and wife for many years. Seeing her like this, he felt uncomfortable and sat on the side of the bed.
The queen cried more and more heartbreaking, "Emperor, 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 take a good recovery."
"The concubine was wrong, the concubine was really wrong." The queen's hand firmly grasped Ming Yuan Emperor's wrist and pressed it against her heart, crying out of breath.
Everyone felt sad when they saw this. Yuan Qingling was held in her arms by the old five. She looked at King Qi. King Qi squatted before the curtain and couldn't help tears. Yuan Yongyi accompanied him with tears in his eyes.
The queen cried for a while, and after taking the medicine, she slowly fell asleep. Emperor Ming Yuan got up and asked Yuan Qingling and the imperial doctor. Although Concubine Di had informed him, he still asked carefully. .
The imperial doctor said that the basic situation had reached the worst point. Because of the serious ascites, Yuan Qingling didn't guarantee that it would be better, so he could only procrastinate.
Emperor Ming Yuan didn't say anything when he heard it. He just raised his hand to tell everyone to leave.
Emperor Ming Yuan stayed with the queen for half an hour before leaving. In the past two years, no matter how the queen made mistakes, he still didn't want to kill her. It was because the relationship between husband and wife was inseparable.
When it was dark, the fifth couple left the palace and returned home.
Tired all day, when he arrived at the mansion, the fifth child automatically consciously rubbed her shoulders and whispered, "Thanks for your hard work."
"What's so hard about this? It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable seeing the appearance of Old Seven and Old Eight." Yuan Qingling sighed.
"Well, yes." The old five felt uncomfortable. What he was worried about was the old eight. The old eight relied heavily on the queen. Once the queen has something to do with her, she is afraid that he can't bear it.
Moreover, in the situation of Lao Ba, there is no queen dedicated to taking care of him. During these long decades, Lao Ba will be very bleak, because no one can replace the position of a mother.
In the past, the imperial concubine could take care of it, but the imperial concubine is now pregnant. When the child is born, she will definitely be too busy, and she is still in charge of the affairs of the palace, so she will definitely not take care of the old eight.
Lao Ba couldn't build a mansion alone. After leaving the palace, no one was at ease. If he relied on the Ming and Yuan Emperor, he was busy with government affairs, and he was afraid that he would not see it several times a month.
In the end, both of them felt that if the queen was really old, they would raise the old eight under the name of a mother, and the love of a mother and child would be better than no one to look after.
When Yuan Qingling entered the palace the next day, Concubine Di Gui called her to speak in the side hall.
Concubine Di took out a letter and handed it to her, "This is a letter sent by Tian'er to the palace, the princess has a look."
Yuan Qingling was a little surprised, but Lao Jiu even delivered a letter to the imperial concubine.
She took it and read it. It was a family letter that usually greeted Ann, and talked about his own situation. At the end of the letter, Lao Jiu explained that if the concubine had time to take care of Lao Ba, he said that he was most worried about him.
After reading the letter, Yuan Qingling was a little unsure, so, "What does the empress mean?"
Concubine Di did not mean anything, and said bluntly: "The fourth old man went to Jiangbei Mansion, and he may not be able to come back once a year. The emperor hardly comes to this palace now. The days are long and lonely. How to spend it? So, after the queen fell ill, Ben The palace was thinking, if the queen..."
She looked at Yuan Qingling and lowered her voice, "This palace wants to bring the eight princes to the palace to raise them, first to be a companion, and second, I always hope that the emperor can recite the eight princes and come to this palace more often. A few times, the palace will not be hopeless."
