Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 200 Emergency Medicine
Zhu Houzhao and the queen mother were playing in the imperial garden when several beautiful girls from Chuxiu Palace ran over with the eunuch.

Each of them turned pale, and when they saw the Queen Mother and Zhu Houzhao, they knelt down with a plop.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Empress Zhaoyi is suddenly seriously ill and is in critical condition!"

"What? Take Ai's family to take a look!" The queen mother said to Xiu Nu in panic.

In fact, Zhaoyi's life and death are irrelevant to the Empress Dowager's heart, but Zhaoyi is pregnant with the royal son, so there is no room for loss.

Zhu Houzhao's complexion changed drastically, and Bai Xue suddenly became seriously ill. Could it be that someone in the palace wanted to murder her?
Zhu Houzhao followed the queen mother to Chuxiu Palace, where the court physicians surrounded the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

But more than a dozen imperial doctors frowned, as if they were thinking hard about something.

"The Emperor is here!"

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

The Empress Dowager hurriedly entered Chuxiu Palace, and asked with a livid face, "What's going on with Bai? Why did she fall ill for no reason?"

The imperial doctor arched his hands at the queen mother and Zhu Houzhao: "See Your Majesty, and see the Queen Mother."

"Oh, when is the time, we don't want these red tapes anymore, just tell me, what happened to Zhaoyi?"

The queen mother hurried into Bai Xue's room, and saw that Bai Xue's face was pale, and she was as angry as a spring.

Zhu Houzhao also followed the Queen Mother and entered Bai Xue's room, and saw her lying on the bed with a face as white as paper, and an imperial physician was taking her pulse.

"What happened to her?"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's voice fell, the imperial doctor who gave the pulse plopped and fell to his knees at Zhu Houzhao's feet.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I am afraid that Mrs. Zhaoyi's illness is really helpless."

"I am afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid Lady Zhaoyi won't be able to survive tonight."

The queen mother almost staggered and fell when she heard what the imperial physician said.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager..." Several court ladies panickedly supported the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager came to her senses, she said eagerly, "No matter what methods you use, it is necessary to save Zhaoyi. Otherwise, why would the Ai family support you?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Bai Xue who was as angry as a silk, and there was an ominous omen in her heart.

At this time, a court lady stepped forward and said: "Go back to Empress Dowager, Empress Zhaoyi just drank a bowl of lotus seed soup and ate a pancake today."

"Well, ask the imperial doctor to go down and check the bowls and chopsticks, are they poisonous?"

Zhu Houzhao sat by the bed, gently held Bai Xue's hand, and called softly: "My concubine, open your eyes and look at me, I'm here to see you."

Bai Xue tried her best to open her eyes and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, but she quickly closed her eyes again and did not move again.

"Tell me, what is going on?"

In Chuxiu Palace.

The eunuchs and maids, as well as the imperial doctors all knelt together. If Zhaoyi died, the eunuchs and maids would not end well.

"Doctor, I'm asking you, what's wrong with Zhaoyi? When I saw her a few days ago, she was fine. Why did she suddenly become seriously ill?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's question, the imperial physician moved forward, cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I have been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, and have diagnosed countless difficult and complicated diseases. The illness of Empress Zhaoyi is called pregnancy fatigue. Many women usually see it." They look healthy, but once they become pregnant, they start to become weak and need to eat a lot of food. Some like sour food, some like spicy food, and over time they will have convulsions and coma. What Zhaoyi is suffering from now is this A rare pregnancy-related illness!"

The imperial doctor must tell all the results of his true diagnosis, he can't just say empty words that he can't recover from, even if he tells them all, some emperors are still not satisfied with their diagnosis, so they will be pulled out and killed.

"I ask you, how to treat it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the empress can no longer eat, she is old and can't do anything."

"Then force it into her."

The imperial doctor buried his head deeply and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

When Zhu Houzhao asked the imperial doctor, the queen mother stood beside him all the time, with a rare seriousness on her face.

"If Ai's family knows that someone poisoned him, Ai's family will definitely make him unable to live or die!"

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at those imperial physicians, and said in a cold voice, "If you can't cure Zhaoyi's illness, you all need to get out!"

As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, the imperial physicians kneeling below trembled in fright.

Zhu Houzhao took Bai Xue's hand, and he remembered the first time he saw Bai Xue, this lost little girl, her eyes were so pure, so cute, completely innocent.

However, now she was lying on this cold big bed, almost her whole body was going to be completely chilled.

"My dear concubine, please wake up quickly. If you can't wake up, who should I turn to to resolve my worries?"

Zhu Houzhao's hand was gently placed on Bai Xue's forehead, showing a look of pity and pity.

Once, he was busy with government affairs, neglecting the concubine in the harem and the child in her belly.

Also, he has also been infatuated with a woman from now on, but he has never favored any beautiful girl, and his body has gone wrong.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty presented this painting to Your Majesty while she was in a coma."

Three eunuchs appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao, holding three paintings in their hands.

"What is this?" Zhu Houzhao looked at these scrolls, showing doubts. At this time, he was upset, and his thoughts were all on Bai Xue.

"Your Majesty, this is the portrait that Empress Zhaoyi drew for you. She draws a portrait every three days, and now she has drawn a total of 120 portraits!"

After the eunuch finished speaking, he unfolded the scroll.

"Empress Zhaoyi said that she may feel that she will die soon, and she wants to hand over these scrolls to His Majesty, and if she dies, please His Majesty to accept these scrolls so that His Majesty can always think of her.

A picture scroll was unfolded, and all the changes of Zhu Houzhao over the past year were carefully depicted on the picture scrolls by Bai Xue.

Zhu Hou looked at the picture scroll, his eyes became moist.

This is a very caring girl. From the first time she saw the emperor, she began to paint for him. Until the last moment of her life, she always had His Majesty in her heart.

This is waiting!

"Aifei, you have to hold on, I will definitely find a way to save you."

Inside the Compassionate Ning Palace, an eunuch hurried in.

He knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, cupped his hands and said: "The Queen Mother, there is a guard named Shangguan Haitang outside who wants to see the Queen Mother."

"No! Didn't you see that Ai's family is busy?"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then said: "The empress dowager, she said she can cure the illness of the empress Zhaoyi!"

Suddenly, the queen mother got up.

"Hurry up, let her in quickly, it's important to save lives.

When the queen mother heard that the eunuch said that someone could cure Zhaoyi's illness, she quickly let her in.

All the eunuchs and imperial physicians at the scene felt a little relieved when they heard that Lady Zhaoyi was saved.
