There were so many people in the hall, but it was so quiet that there was no sound at all, except for everyone's rapid and nervous breathing.
However, everyone was trying their best to control themselves, fearing that the noise would affect the acupuncture.
The queen's heart was in her throat. She turned the Buddhist beads with both hands and recited Buddhist scriptures silently.
Imperial Physician Liu selected two acupoints, Huagai and Zhenwei, both of which can relieve breathing difficulties.
He inserted the needle decisively, and it went smoothly and at the right acupoint. Imperial Physician Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Queen and the Regent both stood by the bed, nervously watching Prince Liang's reaction.
Prince Liang took a breath, and his consciousness regained some strength. His eyelashes fluttered a few times, but he did not open his eyes.
However, the situation did not ease, and King Liang still had difficulty breathing.
Imperial Physician Liu was a little flustered. He hurriedly touched the Danzhong point and inserted another needle there.
There was still no effect. King Liang's lips became more and more purple. His mouth was open, but he was still barely breathing.
"Why is there no effect?" asked the queen in a trembling voice.
Imperial Physician Liu had sweat on his forehead, but he was secretly confused. No way, these three acupoints should be able to relieve King Liang's symptoms, so how could they have no effect
He chose many acupuncture points and inserted the needles very quickly. He could directly pierce the acupuncture points and you could feel it when he inserted the needles.
In desperation, he pulled out the needle and inserted two needles in succession into the Zanzhu and Dicang acupoints.
This injection was a big deal. Prince Liang suddenly opened his eyes and stared for a few seconds. Seeing this, the Queen thought he was getting better and was overjoyed. "My son, how do you feel?"
King Liang just stared with his eyes wide open, seemingly unconscious.
The Regent was the first to notice something was wrong when he saw his lips begin to tremble, his limbs start to shake, and the skin on his face begin to spasm.
The Regent cried out, "Oh no, it's happening."
Sure enough, King Liang's limbs began to stiffen and spasm, and his head seemed to be pulled up by a force and twisted backwards. The spasms gradually intensified and a humming sound came from his mouth.
In desperation, the Regent picked up the towel beside him and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ever since the King of Liang had his first attack, he saw Zi'an put his hand into the King of Liang's mouth, so he went back and asked the doctor, who said that this was a way to prevent tongue biting.
He also concluded that Xia Zian was knowledgeable in medicine.
"Oh my God, oh my God!" The queen's whole body went limp, she fell to her knees with a plop, and cried, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
The Buddhist beads in her hand fell all over the floor, spinning one by one. She could hardly catch her breath, and her eyes went dark, and she passed out.
The imperial physician rushed forward and rubbed her philtrum to wake her up.
Imperial Physician Liu was about to faint. Big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. His face turned pale, his hands kept shaking, and he kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible..."
The judge pushed him away, pulled away the pillow on King Liang's head with one hand, and gently supported his head, trying not to tilt his head back too much. There was no other way.
I no longer dare to give acupuncture easily. If the acupuncture causes stimulation again, I don’t know what the consequences will be.
The prince watched by the bed, his lips slowly curled up, with a happy smile in his eyes. "Die soon, you cripple, what's the point of not dying?"
During this attack, the King of Liang's originally purple face turned directly black, and his convulsions were more severe than before, as if he was about to die.
This time the attack did not last long and stopped.
However, after stopping, Prince Liang suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the Regent, tears actually flowed from his eyes, and his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something.
The Regent loosened his hand and called out twice, "Xin, Xin..."
Prince Liang suddenly straightened his neck, took deep breaths, his trachea made a strange gurgling sound, his eyes widened, his eyeballs bulged, and his face became darker.
After he took a deep breath, everything suddenly stopped. His eyes slowly closed and no more air came into his mouth.
"My son!" The queen screamed in pain, threw herself on him and burst into tears.
The Regent simply couldn't believe it, his face was filled with shock and pain, and he took two steps back. A wise general of his generation, he stood beside his nephew's bed, at a loss as to what to do.
The judge felt the patient's pulse, then knelt on the ground with a pale face, "Empress, please accept my condolences!"
Except for the Regent and the Crown Prince, everyone in the palace knelt down. The Crown Prince's smile faded, replaced by a look of sadness. He stepped forward to drag the Queen away, pretending to sob and said, "Mother, please let my brother go in peace."
How could the queen be willing to leave? She threw herself on Prince Liang and cried miserably.
As soon as Zi'an arrived outside the palace, she heard the queen crying. Her heart sank. No, she couldn't. Prince Liang must not die. Once Prince Liang died, she would have no chance of turning things around.
In a hurry, he ignored the rules and rushed in.
"Stop!" Nanny Yang called out to her hurriedly.
Zi'an had already rushed in and saw King Liang lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The purple and black color had not yet faded, but he was no longer breathing.
When the prince saw her, he stared at her with hatred. If she had come earlier, she would have died with this cripple.
what a pity!
Zi'an looked at everything in front of her in shock. Was King Liang really dead? No, he couldn't die. Only if she cured King Liang would she have a chance to turn things around.
She quickly calmed down, noticed the strange look on King Liang's face, and walked forward, only to hear the prince give an order, "Come on, arrest Xia Zian."
Zi'an, however, took a quick step forward and pulled the queen away with one hand. She could no longer care about anything else. If Prince Liang really could not be saved, her plan would be completely ruined.
"What do you want to do? Don't touch my son!" the queen said to her in shock and anger.
Zi'an's head was buzzing, the remaining poison was still tearing her mind and body apart. She supported herself and crawled on the bed, holding Prince Liang's heart, and turned back to the Queen and said, "There is still hope!"
The queen was startled, took two steps back, and actually stood beside the regent, looking at Zi'an with some disbelief.
A glimmer of hope appeared in the Regent's eyes, but she soon felt that this glimmer of hope was ridiculous. Now that everyone was gone, what could she do
Seeing that no one tried to stop him, Zi'an began to perform CPR. King Liang was not dead, but in shock. However, his condition was also very serious.
She performed CPR and artificial respiration at the same time. It was shocking for a woman to do this, and everyone present was stunned.
The prince even sneered, "How can this be called saving people? It's clearly just showing off. How shameless! There are people like this."
After saying that, he looked at the Regent Murong Jie and said with a sarcastic smile: "Uncle, I heard that the Queen Mother has arranged a marriage for you. This future aunt is really special."
Murong Jie glanced at him sideways, his expression gloomy and unclear, but he didn't say a word, and turned to look at Zi'an.
Artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation were useless. Zi'an took a deep breath, wiped the big drops of sweat from his forehead, took out the needle bag from his sleeve pocket, inserted the needle into his philtrum, and then sealed the carotid artery and the acupuncture points near the brain to prevent the electric shock from causing further damage to the brain nerves.
Then, she bent her finger, pointed it at her heart, and turned the ring to discharge electricity while pressing it, once, twice, three times...
King Liang's body was bounced up and down by the electric shock, and this happened repeatedly.
There was really no sound made by anyone present; even the sound of breathing seemed to be deliberately suppressed. The Queen was so nervous that she could not stand steadily and had to be supported by a palace maid.
