After Zi'an did all this, King Liang still didn't wake up. His breathing was still rapid, and the wheezing in his chest was still the same as before.
From the naked eye, King Liang had made no progress.
Some imperial doctors even questioned whether it would be even more dangerous to fix the neck when breathing was so difficult.
When the imperial physician questioned, the queen looked at Zi'an with cold eyes. Zi'an squatted in front of the couch, quietly checking the injury on Prince Liang's leg again, and by the way, checking Prince Liang's old injury. She could see the queen out of the corner of her eye, and she could also feel the queen's cold eyes. She sighed quietly in her heart, and could only put aside the influence of all external factors and concentrate on doing her thing.
The palace maid brought up a decoction of medicine, which was prescribed by the imperial physician for Zi'an to detoxify. Zi'an drank it without hesitation.
She had just given herself acupuncture while bathing, which had gathered some strength, but it was now slowly dissipating. She was too tired. The pain and the remaining poison in her body forced her to use all her strength to concentrate her mind. She really did not have the extra energy to think about anything other than treatment.
According to preliminary estimates, King Liang's legs were probably broken, but the bones were not connected well, grew out of place, and pressed on the nerves, making it difficult for him to walk.
She could feel the bone spurs growing from the broken bones with her hands. Based on this inference, she could imagine that King Liang had to endure severe pain on a daily basis. The pain of bone spurs is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and only those who have experienced it know it.
Is this constant pain the cause of his bad temper
The prince could no longer bear it, and shouted at Zi'an: "You said that my brother would wake up, but it's been so long, why hasn't he woken up yet? It seems that the situation has become more serious."
The prince's question tore through the oppressive tranquility. The queen could no longer sit still and stared at her, "When will he wake up?"
Zi'an replied, "Empress, the sleepiness period after a major attack is different for everyone, but it usually takes one or two hours. Please wait a little longer, Empress."
The prince said coldly, "You have played us all in your hands. We were supposed to move here, but after we moved here, no one made any progress. Then you said you would wake up, but now there is still no movement."
Murong Jie said calmly, "Wait a moment, everyone has moved in, what's the point of saying so much?"
The prince snorted, "I'm not questioning my uncle's decision, but my uncle has always been quite smart. Why did he let himself be led by the nose this time?"
Murong Jie looked at the prince with an unusually cold look in his eyes, "If you think I'm smart, just shut your mouth and wait."
Murong Jie seldom spoke to the Crown Prince in such a tone. Even if he disliked it in the past, he always remained polite on the surface. But now, in front of the Queen, he spoke so harshly, which showed that his mood was also affected to a certain extent.
Zi'an lowered her head and said nothing. She tried her best not to be affected, but it was difficult. Those who were here were the most noble people in the world. Anyone could kill her with one hand.
Just when the situation was getting out of control, someone shouted, "The Empress Dowager has arrived, your noble concubine has arrived!"
The queen hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
Everyone present knelt down, including Zi'an. She raised her head slightly and saw a group of palace servants escorting two noble ladies in gorgeous clothes towards her.
The faces of the two people are very similar. Zi'an judged from their clothes that the one walking on the left is the empress dowager. Her eyebrows are relatively gentle, but her brows are furrowed, and her face is full of worry.
As for the Concubine Linggui on the right, at first glance she seemed full of hostility. The skin on her cheeks sagged more than that of the Empress Dowager, her nasolabial folds were very deep, and her eyes were unusually sharp. At first glance, she seemed more majestic than the Empress Dowager.
"Your servant pays homage to the Queen Mother and the Noble Concubine Dowager!" The Queen bowed and saluted.
The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Why didn't you inform me when such a big thing happened to Axin?"
The queen explained, "Please calm down, mother. I was just afraid of disturbing you and making you worry."
"The situation has become so serious, how can I not be worried?" The Empress Dowager walked over quickly, climbed the stairs, and without even looking at Zi'an who was kneeling on the ground, she lifted the mat and went in.
Seeing her lifeless grandson, the Queen Mother burst into tears. "How could he become like this? I just heard from the palace servants that he had escaped death. What kind of disease is this?"
The judge stepped forward and said, "To reply to the Queen Mother, Your Highness Prince Liang is having an epileptic seizure!"
The Queen Mother was furious. "Nonsense! He is a descendant of the royal family. How could he have such a vicious disease? Was the diagnosis wrong?"
Seeing the empress dowager was furious, the judge knelt down hurriedly and said, "Empress dowager, please calm down. I and the other imperial doctors have diagnosed it together and confirmed that it is epilepsy."
Concubine Linggui walked over with a cold face, glanced around at the people present, and asked coldly: "Who is Xia Zian?"
Zi'an's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down to answer, "Your Highness, I am Xia Zi'an!"
It seems that someone has said bad things about him in front of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling Gui. Who would do that? Based on some memories left by the original owner, Zi An learned that Concubine Ling Gui was the biological mother of Regent Murong Jie and had already lived in the Regent's Palace. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling Gui were sisters, and Ehuang and Nvying shared the same husband. The Empress Dowager had not been in charge of the affairs of the harem in recent years, and all the affairs of the harem were handed over to the Queen, so the Queen was the only one in power.
If their purpose in coming here is to target me, that would be very bad.
Concubine Linggui said sternly: "Raise your head and speak!"
Zi'an slowly raised her head as she was told, and what came into view were a pair of extremely sharp eyes. Her face was calm and dignified, with a "川" character formed between her brows. This was not caused by frowning, but by years of frowning.
Zi'an felt that she had completely stolen the empress dowager's limelight. Even though the empress dowager had a cold face, standing next to her gave people the illusion that she was kind and benevolent.
"It was you who asked Prince Liang to move here?" The noble concubine asked again in a stern voice.
Zi'an said, "To reply to your Majesty, it was this servant's idea."
The noble concubine said coldly: "Your idea? Your idea can actually convince the queen? Who are you?"
The Queen immediately replied, "My dear Concubine, I did not agree to this, but it was the Prince who insisted on doing this."
The queen's attitude was not very good. The implication was that your son acted arbitrarily without obtaining her consent as the queen.
Murong Jie said coldly, "Mother, it was my son's idea."
The noble concubine's eyes revealed disappointment, "Your idea? How could you be so absurd?"
Murong Jie said: "My son believes in Xia Zian."
"Believe her?" The noble concubine couldn't help but sneer, "Do the imperial doctors agree to move here? Sick people lying in a ventilated place like this, and the wind is so strong, healthy people will get sick, not to mention those who are already sick."
When Zi'an heard the tone of the voice, he knew that the relationship between mother and son was not good, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. The relationship in this palace was really too chaotic. Mothers couldn't stand their own sons, and brothers wished each other dead. The water in this palace was deeper than that in the prime minister's mansion.
