Chapter 21 Shock
Not long after, Chenpi led a white-haired imperial physician in. He wanted to salute, but Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Please show me this bowl of medicine."
The old doctor looked sixty or seventy years old, with a rosy complexion and a strong spirit. He responded to "not daring" and took two steps forward, took the medicine bowl, observed carefully, then asked about the smell, thought for a while, and then dipped his fingers in his mouth and tasted it.
Chenpi looked around, her expression tight and she was very nervous.
This tonic was prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, but Concubine Zhu ordered people to decoct and deliver it every night.
Concubine Zhu is the biological mother of the official family!
Zhao Xu also stared at him. He did not doubt his mother because he already had a partner of doubt in his heart. He looked calm, but he was also a little nervous.
If it was that person, he had to think carefully about the countermeasures!
After a while, the old doctor put down the bowl and said with a smile: "There is no problem with this medicinal food in the official family. It is the Eight Treasures: Angelica, Rehmannia, Lycium barbarum, Peony, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, jujube, licorice..."
Chenpi listened and felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.
Zhao Xu frowned. If the medicine is fine, where can I find evidence? That person cannot be moved lightly, especially him!
After the old doctor finished speaking, he said, "However, this medicine is fine, but the time spent on decoding is not enough, so it is not a big deal. As long as it is not decocted like this for a long time, it will be fine."
Chenpi's face suddenly changed and she said anxiously: "The officials used to take this way. Will it turn into poison? Chronic? Is it fatal?"
If this is the case, then the pointing will become Concubine Zhu, the biological mother of the official family!
When Chen Pi thought of this, her scalp was about to explode and she couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu's expression was normal and said, "It's okay for the imperial physician to speak out."
The old doctor thought for a while and said, "This is a tonic. It's okay. If you don't take it for a long time, it will be fine. As long as you don't eat some raw and cold things, it will be fine if you hurt Longyuan if you are stimulated."
"Injured...Long Yuan..."
Tangerine was shocked and her lips were trembling and could not speak.
‘It’s true!’
Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and his guess was confirmed.
The old doctor looked at Zhao Xu and Chenpi's expression, thinking that they were worried, and smiled and said, "It's okay if you take it for a while. As long as you don't continue to take it in the future, the old minister will prescribe some prescriptions for recuperation, which will be fine."
Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at the old doctor, and said, "Thank you, the old doctor, Chen Pi, for sending him to the old doctor on my behalf."
Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's eyes and suddenly understood, whispering: "Yes."
The old doctor said he didn't dare to do so, and was sent out by Chenpi.
Not to mention why Chen Pi asked the old doctor to make a statement along the way, Zhao Xu sat on the chair, his eyes flashing silently.
This person is really not easy to move, and there is ethical pressure. However, if he doesn't take the lead and let Empress Dowager Gao deal with it, then he will work so much, just to make a wedding dress for Empress Dowager Gao, and he will still be a puppet after all!
"What method should I use..."
Zhao Xu closed his eyes and murmured to himself.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, Chen Pi hurriedly pushed open the door and came directly to Zhao Xu’s ear and whispered: “There is something wrong with the Cining Palace. Eunuch Zhou wants the official to go over immediately.”
Zhao Xu was shocked, stood up and said, "Go away!"
If Empress Dowager Gao decides to execute Concubine Wu Xian immediately, then all his previous efforts will be wasted!
When Zhao Xu arrived at Cining Hall, he saw that the door was closed and there was no movement inside.
When Zhao Xu came over, he naturally had no obstacles and went straight to Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom.
As soon as Zhao Xu arrived, Zhou He looked anxious and said, "Official family, come and have a look."
Zhao Xu was stunned at his expression, and then quickly stepped in.
When I entered the entrance, I saw an imperial physician in front of Empress Dowager Gao’s bed, while Empress Dowager Gao was lying on the bed, motionless.
Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat and he walked over quickly.
I saw Empress Dowager Gao lying on the bed, her face was pale, withered face and disheveled white hair, giving people a feeling that she was about to fail!
Zhao Xu's face suddenly changed. He didn't dare to disturb the imperial physician. He pulled Zhou He and shouted in a low voice: "Tell me, what's going on with my grandmother!"
Zhou He was also full of anxiety and fear at this moment, and said tremblingly: "The Empress has been sick all the time, but she is forcing the investigation into the assassination of the official's family. She didn't eat anything today and suddenly fainted on the desk just now. The villain was scared, so she invited the official's family to come..."
Zhao Xu heard this, frowned and frowned, pushed Zhou He away, and looked at the Imperial Doctor.
The imperial physician was also cautious. The Empress Dowager was the highest power in the Song Dynasty. If she had something to do, she was afraid that the Imperial Hospital would also be in trouble.
After a while, the imperial physician gently wiped the cold sweat from his head, stood up and turned to Zhao Xu, and said, "Don't worry about the official family. The empress was sick before, and she was too tired, which caused her fainting. As long as she had a good rest for a while, I prescribed a few more prescriptions and recuperated for a few days, it would be fine."
Zhou He listened, his nervous face slowly relaxed.
The Empress Dowager was in power for nearly eight years and was assassinated at the time of the official family. If something happened, the sky would collapse!
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, thinking about the fact that Empress Dowager Gao had two years to pass away in history, he was completely relieved, and said, "If you have time, Imperial Doctor, please go and prescribe medicine. Zhou He, please send someone to watch."
Zhou He immediately understood and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Zhao Xu sat beside Empress Dowager Gao's bed, looking at Empress Dowager Gao's haggard expression, thinking that although the old empress dowager was strict with him and refused to relax his power, she was his grandmother who took good care of him.
Zhao Xu reached out to clean her messy hair and said to the palace maid beside her: "Go and get a basin of warm water."
The palace maid was stunned and looked at Zhou He.
Zhou He looked at Zhao Xu and hesitated, and said, "Didn't you hear the orders from the official family? Go quickly."
The palace maid responded and went away in panic.
Soon, the warm water came. Zhao Xu twisted the towel and gently wiped the face of Empress Dowager Gao.
Zhou He kept staring at the side with caution, watching Zhao Xu's movements for a long time, and then he slowly relaxed.
There are many troubles in the palace now, very sensitive, the biggest and most obscure conflicts, probably the official family and the Empress Dowager. When it comes to power, many fathers and sons and brothers have been killed by each other since ancient times, let alone grandparents and grandchildren who are separated by a layer.
Zhao Xu wiped Empress Dowager Gao, and after calming down, he was thinking about what to do with that person.
After the medicine was boiled and delivered, Zhao Xu held a bowl and gently fed the medicine to Queen Mother Gao spoon by spoon, and wiped the overflowing medicine soup from time to time.
Zhou He watched from the side, and finally felt completely relaxed, and he thought to himself: After all, he is his grandparents and grandchildren.
At this moment, a yellow door ran in with a hurried look and whispered a few words in Zhou He's ear.
Zhou He's face changed slightly, and then his expression was solemn.
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "What's going on?"
Zhou He's expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "There are rumors in the palace that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, so it's not enough."
Zhao Xu snorted coldly in his heart, took back the medicine bowl, wiped Empress Dowager Gao's mouth, then looked at Zhou He and said, "Isn't the palace martial law? Why do there still rumors?"
Zhou He looked at Zhao Xu, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhao Xu immediately realized in his heart and said, "So my grandmother has also found it."
Zhou He was stunned and said carefully: "What did the official family find out?"
