Chapter 627 Dilemma
Prince Li Zhi bowed and said, "My doctor, you must do your best to save my father!"
Zuo Shaoyang looked back at him, snorted, thinking to himself, what did you call me?
In his philosophy, Li Zhi is now his son-in-law, so he should naturally call himself his father-in-law. How can he call himself an ordinary name like a miracle doctor? But he forgot that Li Zhi is a king and a subject, so the name is different from that of an ordinary person. There is no title for an official position, and there is no title for a miracle doctor. It is already a kind of respectful title.
The prince didn't know what Zuo Shaoyang meant. He was a little cowardly and bowed again in panic.
The detoxification of the glutinous coptis chinensis soup for detoxification was ready, because the emperor had woken up and could swallow the medicine. The queen personally fed it to the emperor.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "The emperor's condition is too critical and he must adjust the medication according to the disease at any time. I will live in the emperor's bedroom these days."
Empress Changsun was overjoyed and gave a blessing: "Thank you, the miracle doctor!" Immediately asked someone to prepare a picture for Zuo Shaoyang in the corner of the emperor's bedroom.
After taking the medicine, the emperor fell into a coma again.
Zuo Shaoyang felt heavy in his heart, and he walked out of the door with his hands behind his back. The ministers hurriedly came up, and Changsun Wuji whispered: "My doctor, how about the emperor's illness?"
Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said softly: "It's very critical, it may be... alas!"
Changsun Wuji said anxiously: "The miracle doctor must try every means to treat the emperor..."
Zuo Shaoyang bowed and said, "Please rest assured, I will do my best to heal the emperor."
He said that, but his heart was still heavy. Because the emperor's poison was too deep, he was not sure that he could save him. Seeing Princess Changle beside him, he walked over and said, "Madam, please speak aside!"
In front of so many ministers, Zuo Shaoyang actually called the princess a wife like an ordinary daughter-in-law, which shocked the old ministers.
Princess Chang Le looked a little embarrassed, but she followed Zuo Shaoyang to the side and looked at him: "Why are you here now? You don't want to save my prince at all, do you?"
Zuo Shaoyang said angrily: "What did you say? I figured it out. I had already made it clear to you before I left. The national master's medicine cannot be taken. That thing will kill your emperor's life! You, your emperor brother, and the queen, have you listened to it? Now? People are almost dead, but you blame me for not coming back in time? Your emperor brother doesn't kill the national master who harms people. What should I do when I come back? I cured him and continued to harm him? Who is that? If you have a conscience, cover your conscience and think about it carefully. I left.
When he was right, what did your emperor brother look like? ——It has basically returned to normal, can handle state affairs, eat and drink. Later? He continued to take the elixir of the national master, and it became like this. I asked him to kill the national master, and I treated him. The national master was the culprit of such a culprit, but your emperor brother insisted on not listening until he was terminally ill and believed me. What should you do now? In this way, you don’t blame your emperor brother for not listening to me, but instead blame me. Do you still have a conscience?!"
Princess Changle's pretty face turned red. Thinking about it, Zuo Shaoyang had already warned her, but everyone thought that the national master from Tianzhu should have a strong magic, and the elixir of immortality must be useful. They didn't believe it was that thing that made the emperor sick. Later, the facts educated the emperor and his relatives, and knew that what Zuo Shaoyang said was true, but Zuo Shaoyang always refused to come and was anxious, so he said such words.
Princess Changle burst into tears and said, "I said it wrong, isn't it okay? I just ask you to treat my brother quickly. If you can save his life, I will... be a real couple with you, right?"
Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "Don't use this for exchange, and don't talk to me in this tone. Do you think I'm very fond of it? Let me tell you, you had to listen to me at the beginning, but now there is nothing, and the emperor will live well. Now, to tell you the truth, your emperor brother has been poisoned very much, and at most only 20% of the time can save his life!"
"Twenty percent?" Princess Chang Le was anxious, "Can't you think of a solution?"
"Okay, I'll do my best."
After saying that, Zuo Shaoyang returned to his bedroom.
However, he faced a very difficult problem. After examination, he found that this time the emperor was poisoned, not only led and mercury, but also other poisons mixed together. It was difficult for the medicine to detoxify at once. He had to take a large dose of antidote for a long time to slowly detoxify. Li Shimin's body was already riddled with the poison and was extremely weak, and he could not withstand the effect of a stronger medicine! However, he was poisoned too deeply and did not use large doses or severe drugs, so he could not detoxify at all!
Now it has become a dilemma. It cannot be cured without using strong medicine; if you use strong medicine, your body cannot withstand it. If the poison is not removed, you will be soothing!
In the next ten days, Zuo Shaoyang could think of all his ways and used all the tricks he could think of. He still couldn't break this vicious circle! Li Shimin's condition became increasingly critical!
There have been two times when his dosage of medicine became a little bigger, and Li Shimin's heartbeat stopped! He hurriedly used cardioresus surgery to save him. He did not dare to use large doses of medicine again, and could only look forward to using it for a long time to slowly regulate and detoxify.
However, the poisoning did not give him such a chance to procrastinate, and gradually eroded Li Shimin's body. He pulled him towards the god of death step by step!
Queen Changsun cried dryly in tears. Seeing that Zuo Shaoyang's robe had not been removed for more than ten days, she changed countless prescriptions, but it still had no effect. She felt sad. If even Zuo Shaoyang could not be cured, then the emperor's illness seemed to be untreated.
These days, Prince Li Zhi has been acting in charge of the state affairs, and the state affairs are handled in an orderly manner. After every day, the prince has to wait in front of Li Shimin's sick bed. He even stayed all night long. Wu Meiniang and other concubines were also served by the queen. Zuo Shaoyang observed in his cold eyes and saw Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang go out several times and come back one after another. The spring in the corner of his eyes was gone.
Zuo Shaoyang understood that the two had already had sex with each other. Li Shimin died and Li Zhi was in pain on the surface, but in fact he was unhappy when he became the emperor. Wu Meiniang was even more so. Being a talented person with a serious illness, it would be better to win the favor of a new young emperor and become a mother in the future. Therefore, these two people cried to death on the surface, but secretly had a secret meeting. Poor his daughter Zuo Wenzhi, who is weak by nature and kind in character, is in the dark, and she is kneeling and crying with the empresses.
Zuo Shaoyang looked at his daughter Zuo Wenzhi with heartache, thinking about how to get her daughter to escape this dangerous obstacle.
But after thinking about it, there was no way.
Li Shimin's condition became heavier and he was unconscious most of the time every day. Only by using the Yang-rescue Pill to wake him up for a while. Every time he woke up, he had to thank Zuo Shaoyang for one time, which made Zuo Shaoyang feel uncomfortable.
In order to pray for the emperor, Empress Changsun donated a lot of things to temples across the country, allocated a large amount of money to add gold powder to the old temples and Bodhisattvas, and built a new temple. All concubines, princesses, and princesses handwritten Buddhist scriptures, recited the scriptures themselves, and prayed to the Bodhisattva for blessings.
However, Emperor Li Shimin's illness was getting worse and worse.
After a few more days, it was finally New Year's Eve.
Zuo Shaoyang did not go home for the New Year, and he had been by Li Shimin. His legitimate son Zuo Wenyuan, his daughter-in-law Xincheng Princess, as well as his daughter Zuo Wenzhi, and his son-in-law Li Zhi, had not celebrated the New Year, and he had been by Li Shimin's side with the queen.
Of course, the emperor was seriously ill and well-known to everyone, so every household was very restrained during the New Year and did not dare to be too festive. Especially the families of officials, the New Year is not the same.
On New Year's Eve, Zuo Shaoyang closed the door and read the medical books left by several old miracle doctors in a wing room in Li Shimin's bedroom. He had read them many times, and he also used some of the prescriptions that he thought were useful, but they still had no effect. Now he was just a kind of psychological comfort.
Because Li Shimin had been in a coma for three days and three nights in a row, most of them were in the capital. Zuo Shaoyang knew that Li Shimin's last time had arrived.
On the other side of the bedroom, a depressed crying sound came faintly. Zuo Shaoyang was in a bad mood. He slapped the book on the table with a bang and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. He used all the medicines he could use. There were several ways to detoxify Zuo Shaoyang, but no medicine could exert the full power of the medicine in his body with a small dose and drive away the two mixed poisons in his body.
It would be great if he could find a way to help the emperor increase his physical resistance and tolerate the drug power. However, he could not find a suitable way to quickly enhance the emperor's physical resistance.
Just now, he found that his son-in-law Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang had sneaked out again. I guess they were reluctant to leave this New Year's Eve. They were preparing to welcome the New Year together.
If this continues, once the emperor dies, Li Zhi is afraid that his daughter Zuo Wenzhi will soon be deposed and Wu Meiniang will be the queen. It would be fine if he just did this, but he is afraid that Wu Meiniang will use his means to chop off his daughter's hands and feet like in history and put it in a wine jar. This kind of thing must not happen!
It would be too cowardly if I had already had an insight into the future but still let this happen!
But, what should I do now?
He was wandering around the house like a headless fly, and a knock on the door sounded.
Those who can knock on the door here are naturally royal relatives. Palace maids and eunuchs will not knock on the door. They will only report to the door if they have any questions.
Zuo Shaoyang hurried to the door quickly, opened the door, and saw Empress Changsun standing at the door with a sad look on her face.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly bowed and said, "Empress."
The queen nodded, stepped in, walked to the middle of the house, turned slowly, and said, "My doctor, the emperor..., is there any help?"
Zuo Shaoyang looked at his sad expression and wanted to nod, but his head couldn't be lit because he couldn't solve the dilemma. The emperor was extremely weak, which made him unable to tolerate the large dose of drug treatment. The result must be either to die of poisoning because of insufficient medicine or to death due to too strong medicine.
Empress Changsun’s tears rolled down.
At this time, a person appeared from outside the house in the dark night. It was Zuo Shaoyang's newlywed wife Princess Chang Le. She walked in with her skirt and looked at Zuo Shaoyang with grief and anger: "My brother is already in his life, why don't you help me? Do you have to force me?"
"What did I force you?" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly.
"Okay, I'm wrong. As long as you apologize to you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, no matter whether you can save my prince or not, when you come home, I will be a real couple with you, okay? Please save my prince. I'm not exchanging this with you, I promise you to be a real couple with you, I'm begging you in the name of my wife!" As he said that, Princess Changle cried sadly and slowly fell to the ground.
Queen Changsun was shocked: "What did you say? Have you and the miracle doctors, haven't you become real couples yet?"
Princess Changle whimpered and crawled on the ground: "Yes, I asked to be only a superficial couple with him. It must be this, which made him angry, so she refused to rescue the emperor, wuwuwu..."
Queen Changsun stamped her feet and said, "You! How can you do this! How do you let us face the Zuo family?"
"I'm wrong, I'm really wrong. I apologize and let the queen punish me!"
Queen Changsun burst into tears: "How can I punish you? You are now the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, and her eyes were filled with tears, looking at Zuo Shaoyang: "I'm sorry, miracle doctor, Chang Le knew his mistake, you forgive her, she will live a good life with you in the future."
Zuo Shaoyang was amused and crying: "It's really not because of this that I didn't treat the emperor! If I didn't want to save him, I wouldn't come! Even if we are fake, he can't be my brother. Why is he also my daughter's father-in-law, my son's father-in-law, and my in-laws? It's of course helpful for me to live..."
Having said that, Zuo Shaoyang suddenly felt his heart, yes, as long as Emperor Li Shimin survives, prolongs his life, and at least survives Wu Zetian's life, then the prince Li Zhi will not be the emperor, and Wu Meiniang will not be the queen. If she cannot be the queen, she is a tiger who has never had teeth or claws, so there is no need to be afraid of her!
Zuo Shaoyang was a little funny because he thought of this simple truth now. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh immediately because he couldn't cure Emperor Li Shimin's illness! Li Shimin can't live for a few days!
When his head was turbulent, Princess Chang Le said sadly: "Husband, you have a way to cure the emperor, but you can't bear to leave it and you won't use it!"
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned: "What can I do to let go?"
Princess Chang Le knelt straight, wiped her tears, and said, "The emperor's brother is in danger, and the queen and the others are hard to say. I said, I am your wife. I said, I will admit how you will punish me when you go back."
"Don't talk about this for now. What method do I refuse to use?"
"Live prolonging skills!"
"What?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned.
"When the old miracle doctor Sun Simiao left, he said that if there is anyone in the world who can save my emperor's life, then you will be the only one. If there is a way to save my emperor's brother, it is the technique of prolonging life! But this magic is a single lineage. If he teaches you, he can no longer teach others."
"Longevity prolonging skills?" Zuo Shaoyang naturally knew that this spell was the art of returning to the void and breathing that he had practiced for twenty years. It was a supreme health preservation technique. He relied on this spell and was now in his forties, but he was still like in his twenties.
