"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not well!"
When the little eunuch saw Yan Huai, he yelled loudly, and all the bustle in the hall fell silent for a while.
Yan Huai's complexion changed even more, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"
Yan Chi also frowned, "The Queen Mother was already going to bed when I left, what happened?"
The little eunuch said with a bitter face, "After the son left, the empress dowager did go to bed, but the empress dowager woke up not long after she fell asleep, and felt that her legs were numb and uncomfortable. Mother Chen should let the two servants rub the empress dowager The legs were rubbed, but the empress dowager said that she could not see her eyes. At that time, the Shoukang Palace was in chaos. Madam Chen ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor, and went to get the usual medicine for the empress dowager, but she took the medicine here The queen dowager wanted to get out of bed, but the servants around her didn't notice for a while, and the queen dowager fell off the bed. The fall made her mouth and nose bleed..."
"What?!" Yan Huai immediately stood up, "Mouth and nose bleeding?"
It's fine to say anything else, but even seeing blood, it sounds extremely serious.
The little eunuch nodded apprehensively, "Don't worry, your majesty, the imperial doctor has already been invited, but... it's just that there are only the judge and an imperial doctor on duty in the palace hospital today. Neither of these two people usually consult the empress dowager, slave." When they left the Shoukang Palace, the two imperial physicians were worried. Mother Chen was afraid that something might happen to the Empress Dowager, so she sent the servants to report to the Emperor, and asked the Emperor to send an oral order to summon the empress dowager and the imperial physician. Come to the palace."
Tonight is New Year's Eve. According to the rules, the hospital only needs to leave someone on duty.
Hearing these words, Yan Huai immediately looked at Yuan Qing, "Go pass it on! Hurry up and pass it on!"
Yuan Qing answered yes again and again, turned around and told the little eunuch beside him.
After half a year, Yan Huai said to the Queen and Yan Che again, "I'm going to the Shoukang Palace, this year the Queen and the Crown Prince will host a banquet—"
When the words settled down, both Zhao Shuhua and Yan Che got up, Zhao Shuhua said, "Your Majesty, you still have to go to Zhenghuamen to have fun with the people, and I will leave the affairs of the Empress Dowager to my concubine, who will personally watch over the imperial physician .”
Yan Che also said, "My son and queen mother are going to Shoukang Palace together."
Yan Huai knew that it was inappropriate for him to go to Shoukang Palace after being told this, so Yan Chi also stood up, "It is a custom for emperors and empresses to have fun with the people on New Year's Eve, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also accompany her." , it is better for Yan Chi to return to Shoukang Palace to take care of the Empress Dowager, and it will not be too late to go to Shoukang Palace after the emperor and empress come down from Zhenghua Gate, and besides, the emperor will not be able to help if he goes to Shoukang Palace right now."
The emperor and empress got up, and the others didn't dare to sit down when they saw this. Yan Huai knew that he had to go to the Zhenghua Gate, but he still felt uneasy when Yan Chi was only allowed to go to Shoukang Palace. , Yan Huai looked at the most trusted Yuan Qing, "You, you and Yan Chi go to Shoukang Palace together, and I will come when I go up to the tower to show my face. If you have any news, come and report it immediately!"
Yuan Qing nodded immediately, "Yes, I understand."
Yan Huai then looked at Yan Che again, "Order to go down, get ready to drive to Zhenghua Gate!"
Yan Che responded, and Yan Chi said, "Then Yan Chi will leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the gate of the palace. Yuan Qing gave some orders and followed Yan Chi with the little eunuch who had come to report. Soon, the group disappeared out of the gate of the palace.
The change happened too suddenly. Although Yan Chi left, there was still a moment of silence in the hall. Not only was Yan Huai the empress dowager, but Yan Huai's filial piety to her mother was the most filial to the emperors of all dynasties. Everyone knew that the empress dowager was ill. It's not a trivial matter, for a while there was a feeling of silence, and there was no desire to have fun during the New Year.
All the officials knew about the Empress Dowager's illness, and the family members present knew about it, but the people in the capital didn't know about it.
Yan Huai pursed his lips, and ordered, "Putting the Zhenghua Gate—"
With an order, the maids and eunuchs who had been waiting outside immediately opened the door of the palace. The emperor and all the concubines and the guards of honor of all the princes and princesses stopped outside. , waited for the masters to wait for the car to go first, and then others followed. Hundreds of eunuchs and maids held lights to lead the way. The male ministers were in front and the female relatives were behind. A group of more than a hundred people marched mightily towards Zhenghua Gate. go.
Walking on the palace road, although there were so many people, they hardly made any sound. On the contrary, because the wind and snow became more and more rapid, even the low voices were silenced. Qin Wan could only feel his hands and feet It was so cold that he couldn't help but tighten the collar of his cloak, and when he looked up again, there was an endless line in front of him.
Qin Wan walked in a row with Qin Chaoyu and Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Hu said, "Later, the emperor and other courtiers will go up to the tower, and we will wait below. When the emperor comes down from the tower, we can leave the palace and return home." gone."
Qin Chaoyu nodded and said in a low voice, "Is the Empress Dowager's illness all right?"
Mrs. Hu shook her head, "The Empress Dowager has been ill for a long time, I don't know what will happen this time."
Qin Chaoyu frowned slightly, "If the Queen Mother..."
If something happened to the Queen Mother this time, the election of the Crown Princess in the next year would have to be shelved.
Qin Chaoyu naturally didn't dare to say this, but Mrs. Hu understood what she was thinking, so she shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it after tonight, and leave the rest to fate."
Qin Chaoyu didn't say any more when he heard the words, but Qin Wan was thinking about what the little eunuch said just now.
Qin Wan had never seen the queen mother before, and she didn't know what kind of disease the queen mother was suffering from, but after listening to the little eunuch's description just now, Qin Wan had some guesses in his mind, his limbs were numb, his eyes were dark, it might be wind. disease, but I don't know what kind, and said that the Queen Mother's mouth and nose bleed after falling, but I don't know if it hurt the internal organs
If it hurts the viscera, it is quite serious.
It was the instinct of a doctor for Qin Wan to think this way, and he didn't think that the Queen Mother's illness had anything to do with her.
The Empress Dowager is the mother of the Son of Heaven, and there are many imperial physicians in the palace, but no matter what, she will never be able to take action, and the Empress Dowager's illness seems to be very dangerous, if she takes action, how sure is she
Qin Wan shook her head as she walked, and was thinking about it when she heard someone talking in front of her.
"Mother, is His Highness Prince Rui's son leaving this time?"
"Perhaps, the emperor seems to want to keep him."
"His Royal Highness belongs to the battlefield. What's the point of being an official in Beijing?"
"War is to defend the country, and being an official is to benefit the people. What is interesting?"
"Hmph, Your Highness is different from the people in the officialdom, it's a shame to let him be an official."
Qin Wan blinked, and looked at the mother and daughter of the Gu family who were walking in front of them. Peng Huajing obviously admired Yan Chi, and there was a hint of admiration for the younger daughter's family in her tone, but she was as straightforward as her mother, and her words were smooth. A little more sassy, Qin Wan frowned slightly as he listened.
The mother and daughter of the Gu family walked before the mother and daughter of the Yu family. Feng Shenbi whispered next to the Yu family, "Mother, is the queen mother okay this time?"
Mrs. Yu shook her head, "It's hard to say, the queen mother has been seriously ill several times this year, but she managed to recover from it. I heard from the empress that the queen mother no longer recognizes people. In such a cold day, the elderly Not a good time."
Feng Shenbi rolled her eyes, "What if the imperial doctor can't cure the Queen Mother?"
Yu Shi sighed, "The empress dowager's precious body, if it can't be cured...you must be punished."
Feng Chenbi nodded, looked at the Zhenghua Gate not far away, and said nothing more.
It was not too late when I entered the palace, but at this moment, it was already covered by night. Because it was New Year's Eve, the gate towers of Zhengyangmen and Zhenghuamen were lit with sequential lights. Hong, the beauty is like the Qiong Tower, after leaving the Zhengyang Gate, the chariot of the empress had already arrived in front of the Zhenghua Gate, as soon as the chariots of the masters stopped, everyone behind them also stopped slowly, and after that, they saw the emperor's chariot. After that, he took the lead to climb up the city tower. For a while, there were fireworks outside Zhenghua Gate and crowds of people everywhere. The joy and liveliness, even across the Zhenghua Gate, Qin Wan could feel it.
Qin Wan looked up and saw that the fireworks outside the city flew high into the sky over the Zhenghua Gate, and then exploded in colorful explosions. Amidst the continuous crackling, the entire sky was as bright as day, covering Qin Wan's eyes. The faces of everyone around him were clearly reflected. Qin Wan raised her head slightly, only feeling that the only fly in the ointment was that she was within the city wall.
All those who were not qualified to climb the tower stayed in the small square between Zhengyangmen and Zhenghuamen. The high palace walls on both sides were like cages, blocking everyone's sight. Lightened by fireworks.
Qin Wan exhaled lightly, fortunately she did not really become Princess Yong.
Fortunately, Yan Huai was worried about the Empress Dowager's illness, so she didn't stay on the tower for long. When the shout of long live outside the Zhenghua Gate settled, Qin Wan saw the empress' guard of honor coming down the tower, and stayed behind. The people below immediately separated left and right to make way in the middle, and soon, the guard of honor of the emperor and empress walked down the steps of the tower, but at this moment, another young eunuch quickly ran out from Zhengyang Gate, Yan Huai He and Zhao Shuhua were about to get back into the carriage, but when they saw this, they froze in their footsteps.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—the servants are by Mr. Yuan's side. Mr. Yuan arranged for his servants to report to the Emperor. The people he sent out have not returned for a long time. The Queen Mother's side...the Queen Mother's side is no longer available..."
In such a cold weather, the little eunuch was sweating profusely, he knelt down on the road where everyone came, his voice was already crying, Yan Huai shook his body, "What do you mean it can't be done? ! Isn’t someone guarding the Queen Mother’s place?”
The little eunuch continued, "The court judge and Imperial Physician Liu have been watching, but the empress dowager seems to be unable to hold on anymore. The medicine is ready, but the empress dowager can't drink it in. Seeing that it will not work..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Huai frowned immediately, and while getting on the imperial chariot, he said angrily, "Even if the judge of the majestic imperial hospital can't save the queen mother?! Really..."
Yan Huai was furious, "If the person you sent out didn't come back, send another person! Yan Che!"
Yan Huai yelled the crown prince's name, and Yan Che immediately stepped forward from behind, "Don't worry, father, I understand, I will immediately send someone out of the palace to find the imperial physician—"
"Hurry up!" Yan Huai said sharply, clenched his fists and looked anxious after saying this.
He was about to give orders to drive to Shoukang Palace, when suddenly someone in the crowd not far away said a word.
"Don't we have a medical fairy here? The Empress Dowager's condition is urgent, why not let her try?"
It was a delicate woman's voice who spoke, Yan Huai frowned when she heard it, "Who is talking?!"
After such a question, the crowd suddenly fell silent. Many people looked at the source of the sound, and saw Feng Chenbi stepping forward with a pale face, "Go back to the emperor, it is the courtier who is talking." After speaking, Feng Chenbi hurriedly said, "I just heard that the Empress Dowager's condition is urgent, thinking, don't we have a medical fairy here? The emperor said just now that she has excellent medical skills, why not let her try it now?"
Feng Chenbi's tone was gentle and gentle, even if Yan Huai was angry, it was not good to reprimand her for talking too much, not only that, Feng Chenbi's words reminded Yan Huai that there is an imperial doctor in the palace, not only that, there is also a doctor in the palace who often treats the queen mother Physician, under such circumstances, no one wants to get a little girl like Qin Wan. In addition, Yan Huai has never seen Qin Wan treat a disease. Although he praised Qin Wan, he has not seen it with his own eyes, so he will not be so sure in his heart, but The situation is different now, and the imperial doctor has been unable to find anyone for a long time, and the imperial hospital judged that the queen mother could not be saved... Is it just watching the queen mother die like this? !
Yan Huai's eyes turned serious, "Where are the nine maids of the Qin family?"
He sat on the imperial chariot, and roared so high that Qin Wan had to come out even if he didn't want to.
Qin Wan came out from behind Feng Chenbi, Yan Huai said as soon as she saw her, "Jiu girl, do you dare to treat the Queen Mother?"
As soon as these words came out, countless eyes fell on Qin Wan's body. Qin Wan stood with her eyebrows folded, but her heart was pounding.
Feng Chenbi's words were definitely not out of good intentions. She pushed herself out like this to let her take over this hot potato, and this potato is not only hot to the touch, but may even kill people. This is related to the life of the Empress Dowager!
Qin Wan pursed her lips and did not answer, but Qin Shu, who was very close to Yanhuai, stood up with her fists clasped, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Qin Wan is still young, and in terms of qualifications, she is not as good as the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital." You guys, even the imperial doctors can't do anything, especially her..."
The meaning of Qin Shu's words was clear, Qin Shu's words settled down, and there were low voices of agreement from around.
"That's right, the Nine Girls look so young, let alone the Empress Dowager, even a commoner wouldn't trust her to treat her illness..."
"The Empress Dowager's illness is not a one-time event. She has never been exposed to it before. At such a critical juncture, I'm afraid she doesn't know where to start? You still have to be cautious..."
The high and low voice reached Yan Huai's ears, but Yan Huai didn't blame him. Not only these people had such thoughts, but he also had such thoughts. Thinking of this, he looked deeply at Qin Wan again, but saw that Qin Wan was still Standing with downcast eyes, she didn't seem to be moved by these discussions, Yan Huai's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze became somewhat oppressive.
Qin Wan knew that Yan Huai was looking at her, and he was waiting for her answer.
"Your Majesty, the women of the people have not studied medicine for a long time, and their qualifications are indeed relatively young."
Qin Wan finally opened his mouth, but the answer was like this, Yan Huai frowned even more when he heard this, these people were right, Qin Wan was only a half-grown child, such a little girl, it was natural for others to ask her Also, if he cured a headache, he would be praised by others, and more importantly, even if she didn't have confidence in herself, how could he dare to entrust the Queen Mother's life to her.
Yan Huai's eyes darkened slightly, and she didn't intend to embarrass Qin Wan.
"but-"
Yan Huai was about to give the order to drive, but Qin Wan hadn't finished speaking. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan raised her eyes and looked at Yan Huai. This was the first time she raised her eyes to meet the emperor's gaze this night, "However, if the Empress Dowager is really dying, Qin Wan is willing to sacrifice herself Give it a try."
After these words were settled, not only did the expressions of the others change drastically, but even Qin Shu looked at Qin Wan with disapproval, but he was too far away from Qin Wan, and it was already too late to stop Qin Wan.
Yan Huai narrowed his eyes, "Try it? Do you know that this matter is related to the life and death of the Empress Dowager?!"
Qin Wan nodded, "Minnv knows that in the eyes of the minnv, the empress dowager is a sick person first and then the queen dowager. Just now, I heard what the palace slave said that the empress dowager's condition seems to be dying, but the minnv only listened to the description and didn't know the empress dowager. No matter how serious the condition is, and the Minnv is not sure that she can cure the Empress Dowager, so it is up to the Emperor to decide whether the Minnv should try it."
Yan Huai's eyes glowed a little, what a bold girl! She even pushed the decision-making power to him. If the treatment failed this time, would she say that he asked her to try it? !
Yan Huai would never take the Empress Dowager's life and death as a trifling matter, but looking at Qin Wan who was standing solemnly with downcast eyes at this moment, he felt two points of appreciation in his heart, the corners of his lips sank, and Yan Huai said in a cold voice, "Get on the chariot!"
Not only did the others fail to react to the three words, but Qin Wan himself did not. Yan Huai saw that she was quite clever a moment ago, but now she was stunned again, and said impatiently, "Not too soon. Come on, the empress dowager is in danger, if you delay the chance of treatment, I will definitely punish you!"
Qin Wan immediately affirmed Yan Huai's meaning, she lifted her skirt slightly, and walked towards Yan Huai quickly, but she still didn't understand what Yan Huai meant by "come on the chariot", you must know that this is an imperial chariot!
Qin Wan walked to the side of Yan Huai's chariot, Qin Shu and Qin Yan anxiously wanted to come out and hold Qin Wan, but now, how can they stop it? !
When Qin Wan didn't know which chariot to get on, another eunuch ran out of Zhengyang Gate. Seeing the person, Yan Huai's expression immediately changed, and the hearts of the others jumped too. Could it be that the Queen Mother has...
The little eunuch rushed to the imperial chariot, Yan Huai hurriedly said, "You are from Shoukang Palace? The Queen Mother..."
The little eunuch lifted his robe and knelt, "Your Majesty, I have passed on the words of His Royal Highness, Prince Rui's son. His Royal Highness said that the nine girls from the Qin family should come to the Shoukang Palace to consult the empress dowager. His highness also said that only nine girls can save the empress dowager."
After saying this, Yan Huai not only let out a long breath, but also looked at Qin Wan with more trust in his eyes.
It must be true that Yan Chi can send someone to spread the word.
Yan Huai moved to one side, patted the seat beside him, "Hurry up?!"
Qin Wan only felt countless sharp eyes coming from behind him. These eyes were surprised, envious, and contemptuous. Only Qin Shu and Qin Yan, who were opposite Qin Wan, were hesitant to speak, and full of eyes. Worried and helpless.
Qin Wan glanced at Qin Shu, then stepped on the low stool on the chariot.
Almost as soon as Yan Huai sat down in the imperial chariot, he gave the order, "Go to Shoukang Palace, hurry up!"
The guard driving the carriage lowered his whip, and the four snow-colored white horses in front of the chariot immediately hoofed up. Soon, the chariot was galloping within the palace walls. Qin Wan looked back and saw all the courtiers and female relatives in the square. They were all left behind, Empress Zhao Shuhua ordered a few words and boarded the car to catch up. Everyone forgot to salute, and only watched Qin, a sixteen-year-old girl, rushing to Shoukang Palace in a royal chariot. They were all guessing about the Queen Mother's life and death tonight, and naturally they were also guessing about Qin Wan's life and death.
Among the crowd, Qin Chaoyu turned around and stared fiercely at Feng Chenbi.
Feng Chenbi brushed the black hair on his shoulders, "What is Chao Yu looking at me like this? Everyone knows that your sister is a little doctor, but I just remembered it suddenly. You should thank me. If it wasn't for my suggestion, the emperor would just I'm afraid I didn't even think about it, when your sister rescues the Empress Dowager today, your Qin family will really be on the rise."
Qin Chaoyu gritted his teeth, but Feng Chenbi smiled as if thinking of something, "Ah, but I have forgotten another possibility... What if... if there is no way to save him?"
…
…
"Are you afraid?" On the speeding imperial chariot, Yan Huai suddenly asked, he turned his head to look at Qin Wan, only to see that Qin Wan still had a bit of childish eyebrows and eyes, all of which were serious, with a small face Also very tight.
Qin Wan regained consciousness and shook her head, "The daughter of the people is only thinking about the condition of the Empress Dowager."
As he said that, Qin Wan looked at Yan Huai, "Dare to ask the emperor, does the empress dowager suffer from wind disease?"
Yan Huai remained calm, "Why do you see that?"
Qin Wan said casually, "What the palace slave just said is that the empress dowager's legs and feet are numb and her eyes are dark. These symptoms are most likely to be a stroke. Moreover, the palace slave also said that the empress dowager fell off the bed and her mouth and nose were bleeding. , Elderly people suffering from rheumatism often fall down, and in severe cases, they will bleed from the nose. The servant did not make it clear just now. Ask the emperor."
Qin Wan's face is full of seriousness, because he is too serious and too focused, on the contrary, he has no fear of the emperor. Although Yan Huai is used to enjoying the sincerity and fear of the people below, but now facing Qin Wan like this, he can't Feel very useful.
"When you heard those words just now, you were thinking about the Queen Mother's illness?"
Yan Huai did not deny Qin Wan's guess, and Qin Wan knew in her heart that she had guessed right, so she answered, "Yes, as a doctor, when I hear these words, I will subconsciously think about them."
"Then why don't you stand up for yourself?"
Qin Wan lowered her eyes when she heard the words, "The status of a civilian girl is low, if it is not a last resort, she will naturally act according to the original rules."
Yan Huai's eyes became somewhat clear, "Are you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Qin Wan's eyes lowered even lower, "The empress dowager's illness is a serious matter, and women of the people really dare not act arrogantly."
"What about you now? Are you scared now?"
Yan Huai seemed to want to put pressure on Qin Wan, but when he said this, Qin Wan shook his head, "Now the daughter of the people is only thinking about the illness of the Empress Dowager, how can she start to be afraid before starting treatment?"
As he spoke, Qin Wan frowned again, and the seriousness and focus emerged again.
Seeing this, Yan Huai didn't say any more, only the corners of her lips relaxed slightly.
After a stick of incense, the imperial chariot slowly stopped in front of the Shoukang Palace.
The night was dark, the wind was swift and snowy, and the lights in Shoukang Palace were brightly lit. All the servants in the palace were in a state of panic. The messenger had already been sent out, so Yuan Qing had been waiting at the gate of the palace. Immediately came up to greet him, lifted the curtain, but saw that there was another person besides Yan Huai inside, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Qin Wan!
"How is the Queen Mother?!"
Yan Huaili got off the chariot without much explanation. Qin Wan lifted the skirt and followed Yan Huai very fast. There was no need to say anything. Yuan Qing walked inside and said, "Not really Alright, I can’t feed the medicine anymore, I was groggy half an hour ago, the old slave looked at it, it’s because I’m getting more air and less air.”
Yan Huai's heart sank, and so did Qin Wan, walking too hastily, her feet were slightly hot, but her hands and body were icy cold from the cold wind, she followed closely behind Yan Huai, so that Although I walked all the way in from the gate of the palace, when I got to the main gate, I couldn't even remember what scenery I saw on the way. I only thought about the Queen Mother's illness and how to treat it!
As soon as he walked to the door, Yan Chi's figure came into view, and he also looked anxious. Seeing Yan Huai, Yan Chi immediately stepped forward to salute, and seeing Qin Wan following, Yan Chi's eyes lit up!
Yan Huai didn't say much, and went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, "What did the imperial doctor say?"
Yan Chi followed Yan Huai to the left, and gave Qin Wan a reassuring look before he said, "The two imperial physicians are helpless. Right now, they only administered life-saving ginseng pills to the Empress Dowager, and prescribed plasters to soothe the Empress Dowager's meridians. Said that I would wait to enter the palace with the imperial physician, I saw that the empress dowager was not good, so I thought about letting the nine girls come to show the empress dowager... "
While talking, a group of people had already entered the inner room where the queen mother rested.
The inner room is decorated extremely luxuriously, with colorful paints and paintings on the roof, Chinese carpets on the floor, hanging curtains, sandalwood incense curling up, palace lanterns in several corners are all shining with candles, two old men in palace uniforms of imperial doctors Standing in front of the Empress Dowager's bed, next to two old mothers and four maids, their eyes were red, and each of them was holding ointment and other things in their hands.
Hearing the movement, everyone turned their heads and saw that Yan Huai was coming, and the two imperial doctors knelt down first.
"I beg your majesty to forgive me, the empress dowager is in a hurry, but the ministers cannot be saved..."
After the words fell, the maids and maids also knelt on the ground, Yan Huai was angry with the two old imperial doctors, walked up to him, kicked the nearest one away, and went to the bedside to take a look at the Queen Mother , and then waved his hand, "Get up, get up." He said and looked at Qin Wan who was following behind, "Girl, come and see!"
As Yan Huai said, step aside, Qin Wan took off the cloak on his body as he stepped forward. Yan Chi was the closest, so when he saw this, he hurried forward to catch him. It was only in his hand that he realized something was wrong, but she didn't care about the situation so much, she just walked to the bed as if nothing had happened.
The room was brightly lit, Qin Wan fixed her eyes and saw the gray-haired Queen Mother lying on her back on the bed. She was neatly dressed in a brown coat, only her trousers were rolled up to her knees, and the air was filled with The smell of medicine and ointment, Qin Wan took a look, and there were traces of ointment on the queen mother's calf.
Without further ado, Qin Wan took a shallow breath to ask the Empress Dowager for her pulse. Seeing her asking for her pulse, Yan Huai was anxious, but she knew that she should not rush her. On the other side, two imperial doctors got up and stood aside, and they looked at each other. At first glance, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and when he looked at Qin Wan again, he was both puzzled and surprised, as if he didn't know where Yan Huai found such a little girl to mess around with.
Several nuns and maids also looked at Qin Wan strangely, but Yan Huai and Yan Chi didn't speak, so they naturally didn't dare to say more.
Qin Wan asked his right hand and then asked his left hand. Yan Huai's anxious forehead was covered with thin sweat. After waiting for a while, he saw Qin Wan let go of his hand. Yan Huai hurriedly asked, "How is it? Can the empress dowager still be saved?!"
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned, and spoke in a cold and solemn voice, "The empress dowager's pulse is weak and heavy, and her aura has been in and out, which is already a sign of danger." As he spoke, he leaned over to look at the empress dowager's mouth. Nose and eyes, after reading it, leaned over to touch the queen mother's chest and abdomen, and then pinched it all the way down the queen mother's thigh.
Although Qin Wan's answer wasn't good, her hands didn't stop at all. Yan Huai took another step back, leaving Qin Wan alone by the bed, and then said, "Is there still help?"
Qin Wan didn't answer immediately, but said after a pause, "Minnv will do her best!"
This answer did not satisfy Yan Huai, but compared to the two imperial physicians, Qin Wan at least did not stop and wait for the imperial physician to enter the palace. Yan Huai took a shallow breath and took a step back. Suddenly, there were footsteps outside. Voice.
Yan Huai and Yan Chi turned their heads and saw that it was Queen Zhao Shuhua and Feng Lingsu who had arrived together. Yan Huai had no time to deal with it, so he just waved his hands and said, "You guys go out and wait first. We are seeing a doctor here, so there shouldn't be too many people."
Zhao Shuhua glanced in the direction of the bed, blessed herself and walked out.
Qin Wan looked at the Empress Dowager from top to bottom, and said softly, "The Empress Dowager's complexion is gray, her lips are bruised, her eyes are blue and black, her limbs are stiff and ineffective, but her internal organs are swollen. It should be the evil wind entering the liver and The spleen has accumulated and ulcerated for a long time, and the empress dowager is very old. In addition to these two viscera being invaded by evil wind, the empress dowager's limbs are also invaded by cold evil, so she always feels that her legs and feet are numb and cold. When I fell asleep, there was blood in the Empress Dowager's nasal cavity, but not in her lips, which was caused by the evil wind entering the brain and invading the blood vessels."
Qin Wan said while looking at the nuns, "Does the Empress Dowager feel pain in her legs tonight besides numbness as if being pricked by needles? Has the Empress Dowager vomited during the day? Besides, the Empress Dowager fell down just now. Will you not be able to speak after that?"
After asking such a question, before the mothers could speak, Yan Huai first warned, "Mother Chen, don't hide anything."
Nanny Chen, who was pointed out, immediately nodded and said, "Miss is right. After the Queen Mother rested, her legs felt numb and sore. After eating lunch during the day, the Queen Mother did vomit, so she ate very little in the afternoon. It was supposed to pass on to the imperial doctor, but the medicine prescribed earlier was still needed, and today is New Year’s Eve, the queen mother did not let the servants to pass it on. Just now... after the queen mother fell down and saw blood, not only was she unable to speak, but her consciousness Not quite sober."
Qin Wan went through all the information on medical skills, and seeing that all her conjectures were correct, the eyes of the imperial doctor and nuns and maids in the room were surprised, and Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan's eyes. It's bright.
Qin Wan practiced medicine, and also knew how to do it. Based on Qin Wan's words just now, why don't the two have a lot in common? From symptoms to pathology is like going from the scars of the dead to the way of killing. Qin Wan can always see the root of the problem through these symptoms. Because of this, she can cure the diseases of the living and avenge the grievances of the dead.
After listening to Nanny Chen's words, Qin Wan nodded and said, "I'll write the prescription, you write it."
Nanny Chen was taken aback, is this going to change the prescription for the Queen Mother? The Empress Dowager's prescriptions were not changed casually. Nanny Chen hurriedly looked at Yan Huai, Yan Huai frowned, "What are you doing in a daze?! Why don't you write it?!"
It was only then that Mother Chen understood Yan Huai's trust in Qin Wan, and hurried to get a pen and paper.
Qin Wan leaned forward and stood in front of the window, rubbing the Empress Dowager's heart acupoint with her hands and said, "Ephedra and Chuanqiong are three cents each, dried ginger, gypsum, ginseng, angelica, and osmanthus are two cents each, and fifty almonds. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl, let’s go now.”
Nanny Chen finished writing very quickly, and immediately ordered someone to grab the medicine and decoct it.
Yan Huai looked at it and couldn't help but ask, "What is this for?"
Qin Wan's eyebrows were fixed, "This is the Great Life Renewing Soup."
Yan Huai frowned, just hearing the name and no longer need to ask.
After prescribing the medicine, Qin Wan quickly massaged from the queen mother's temple all the way to the Yongquan point on the sole of her feet. She was the only one doing it. For convenience, she knelt down on the side of the bed with one leg. It was very strenuous to keep bending over and exerting strength on hands. After a while, large beads of sweat rolled down Qin Wan's face. Yan Chi watched from the side, his eyes were a little distressed, but this time In this situation, he had nothing to do but tightened the cloak that was carrying Qin Wan's body temperature.
Yan Huai looked at Qin Wan and sighed softly, just at this moment, Qin Wan's skills can be seen, she didn't ask in detail, but she saw it herself, and the symptoms she guessed were accurate. She didn't seem to be flustered at all, and she has been working methodically since she came here. Although Yan Huai couldn't see what she was doing, she knew that she must have thought of a cure.
"I wonder if the two imperial doctors brought silver needles?"
Suddenly, Qin Wan asked again, she usually carried the needle bag habitually, but the dress she entered the palace today was too cumbersome, she thought she would not need it, so she didn't bring it.
When she asked, one of the imperial doctors hurriedly said, "You want to give the empress dowager an injection?"
After this moment, the two imperial doctors no longer dared to underestimate Qin Wan, but their faces changed when they heard that she was going to give the needle, and Qin Wan also nodded, "Exactly, can I use your needle?" ?”
Silver needles are always kept by doctors, and Qin Wan is sure that these two must have them.
However, the imperial doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, do you know that the empress dowager is extremely weak? Just now we also thought of the method of administering acupuncture, but we were afraid that the empress dowager would not be able to bear it. If the needle is given, the empress dowager will not be able to bear it." Empress..."
Hearing what the imperial doctor said, Yan Huai's eyes became tense. No wonder the two of them couldn't do anything. If so, they really didn't dare to give acupuncture casually... Just thinking about it, Qin Wan said, "Don't worry, both of you." , just lend me the needle for a while, think about it, my acupuncture is different from the two of you."
The imperial doctor was refuted by Qin Wan's words, so he had to go to get the needle bag. They had warned in advance, if there was a mistake due to the needle application, don't blame them for not reminding them.
Soon, the needle pouch was in Qin Wan's hands, and Qin Wan took a look at Yan Huai, "Your Majesty, the civilian girl wants to change the clothes of the Empress Dowager, please go out and wait with the two imperial doctors and His Royal Highness."
Yan Huai wanted to stay here, but after hearing this, she had to leave, and soon there were only Qin Wan and the nuns and maids left in the room, Qin Wan took a step back, "Please untie the clothes of the Empress Dowager. "
Nanny Chen didn't dare to be disrespectful, so she quickly followed suit, and Qin Wan opened the needle pouch when the queen mother's chest and abdomen were exposed.
On this side, when Yan Huai walked out of the inner room, he was quite exhausted. He was already so worried and nervous. It is conceivable that Qin Wan, who has been saving people, was thinking about it when he just arrived in the outer room. Then he saw a room full of people.
Not only Zhao Shuhua and Feng Lingsu were there, but Yan Che, Yan Qi and Yan Zhen also came over, together with other concubines, they forced the room to be full. When Yan Huai came out, Zhao Shuhua immediately came up to him, " Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Yan Huai shook his head, "I'm applying acupuncture, but I don't know the result yet."
Zhao Shuhua's eyes were dim, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, sit down quickly, your complexion is not very good."
Yan Huai waved his hand, he didn't want to rest, he just walked to the window, opened the window, only to see the night snow outside falling like catkins, the cold wind rolled the snow flakes, Yan Huai felt in his heart Feeling sad, Feng Lingsu hurried forward upon seeing this, "The emperor was already worried about the queen mother, so don't get caught in the cold right now."
Yan Chi sighed, "I don't know if my mother can survive this time."
After he finished speaking, Feng Lingsu didn't know how to interface. If he said that he would definitely be able to, what if the bad news spread later? Feng Lingsu didn't know what to say, and so did the others. For a while, everyone fell silent.
Waiting is always exhausting, and even though Yan Huai knew that Qin Wan had a plan in mind, he never thought that it would take so long. Seeing the time of the three-pillar incense pass, there was still no sound inside, but the medicine Qin Wan ordered was ready. Bring it in.
Feng Lingsu couldn't wait anymore, "What's going on, why hasn't there been any movement?"
Zhao Shuhua was calm, "No movement is good news, sister, don't worry."
"The empress dowager—the empress dowager—"
As soon as the words fell, everyone could only hear Nanny Chen yelling loudly in the inner room, Yan Huai who had been standing by the window turned around abruptly, how could she wait any longer? Immediately, he strode towards the inner room, Zhao Shuhua followed after seeing this, Yan Chi frowned, worried about what happened inside, and naturally walked inside immediately.
A group of people hurried into the inner room, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Chen Mama standing by the window with red eyes and shouting.
Qin Wan, on the other hand, stood at the end of the bed and looked at the queen mother with a pale face.
Yan Huai frowned, a wave of grief welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?!"
Nanny Chen turned her head with red eyes, and said hoarsely, "The queen mother—"
Seeing Nanny Chen like this, everyone's hearts sank immediately. Zhao Shuhua and Feng Lingsu immediately looked at Qin Wan sharply. Suddenly he coughed and opened his eyes.
