Chapter 16 Palace

Three long rooster crows came into the palace, and the first rooster woke Xue Chongxun up. Then, he heard carefully that the rooster crow was not actually the rooster crow, but the eunuchs in the eunuchs learned to crow because the rooster crow was not on time.

When a person woke up, his consciousness was a little blurred. Xue Chongxun didn't realize where he was. After a moment, he looked around. The sun was lightly sprinkled on the carved railings and towers, the curtain was low, and the slight smoke of clear people slowly flowed in the copper tripod. Several palace maids with high waists and silk skirts stood by the wall.

Xue Chongxun suddenly remembered that he was still in his mother's bedroom, and then everything poured into his mind, making him understand where he was from and what he was going to do.

Don’t you have to wait until your mother wakes up and authorize the Shen Ce Army to enter Beijing?

Xue Chongxun found that he was sleeping on the edge of Princess Taiping's bed, and an additional dark golden curtain had been pulled by the bed.

Even if her son is a man after all, it is not suitable to let Princess Taiping lie in front of her with a white body so she is so tall that she is now wearing a curtain in front of her bed, and the people in the bedroom can't see her body.

When Xue Chongxun stood up, he found something fell to the ground. When he looked back, he found that it was a silk veil, worn by a woman.

The palace maid next to him said: The prince fell asleep last night. I was afraid that you would get cold, so I found a piece of clothing to put on it.

oh.

Xue Chongxun was about to see if his mother had woken up, because yesterday, Taoist Yuqing said that she would wake up. At this moment, he found that the palace maid's face turned red. He quickly realized that a tent was pulled between his legs and pushed his robe high.

He also felt a little embarrassed. He hasn't been close to women recently, so he is naturally energetic. He must have been like this when he wakes up in the morning.

This is the case in the morning, just like you have to bleed every month, it is normal.

Xue Chongxun blurted out, but soon felt that it was nonsense and said that to a palace maid, he was just a matter of her.

It would be fine if I didn't say it, but when I said this, the palace maid's ears turned red.

Xue Chongxun turned around and lifted the curtain. He saw that Princess Taiping was still lying straight on the bed as she looked yesterday, with sweat beads on her forehead and thin clothes.

Because there was no one in the curtain, Xue Chongxun not only glanced at her body, not to mention that her mother was well maintained, her plump figure was not distorted at all. She gave birth to Xue Chongxun at the age of thirteen. Now Xue Chongxun is twenty-seven years old. Princess Taiping is only forty years old. However, according to the current algorithm, Xu Sui is already forty years old. In her prime, she could have protected him for many years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

If his mother could live as long as her grandmother Wu Zetian and live in her seventies, then it would be enough for him to enjoy life in this life.

He reached out and put his hand on Princess Taiping's shoulder and shook it gently, calling: Mother, Lord Mother... Seeing that he had no reaction, he used some more effort to shake it and continued to call.

But Princess Taiping still had no reaction at all and was still in a coma.

Just then, Yuqing's crisp voice came from behind: Did Your Highness wake up?

Xue Chongxun was a little angry and thought to himself that Yuqing clearly said yesterday that her mother could wake up, but she is still in a coma now. What should I do if it is serious?

When he was about to turn around and question Yuqing, he realized the embarrassment of his lower clothes, so he had to sit back on the stool just now. He felt a little depressed. Although he had no evil thoughts, his body was sometimes uncontrollable, such as this morning.

I haven't woken up yet, didn't you say I'll wake up this morning?Xue Chongxun sat down and said.

Yuqing heard his tone and saw his movements again, and felt very discriminatory. She frowned and said: I have taken Yin and Yang Qi Resistance Pill, which can drive away the long-standing poisonous gas in the body and lure the clear air into the dantian. Taking the pill to practice can make you close to the heavenly way. You will wake up even if you break the pill... She walked to the edge of the bed while talking and opened the curtain to take it and took a look.

Xue Chongxun said: You take her pulse, what's going on?

Yuqing said innocently: I am not a doctor, how could I take my pulse?

Xue Chongxun turned around and said: Call the doctor... Where is Yuwen Ji?

The palace maid said: The goddess doctor went home the day before yesterday.

Dr. Zhou, who is called the Imperial Medical Department, come quickly.

After waiting for a long time, an old man with white hair and beard came into the palace with a medicine box. It was thought that it was Dr. Zhou, a capable man from the Imperial Medical Office. The old man looked very healthy. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was still red. He didn't listen to him gasping when he walked in.

The palace maids brought Dr. Zhou in and came to Princess Taiping's bed. Xue Chongxun took one of her hands out of the curtain to take Dr. Zhou's pulse.

After the imperial doctor sat down, he opened the medicine box, took out a cushion and laid Taiping wrist on it, then gently pinched the pulse with his fingers, closed his eyes and spoke silently.

After a long time, when Xue Chongxun saw that he let go of his hand, he asked: What is my mother's pulse?

Dr. Zhou pondered: The pulse is stable, no worries yet... What medicine have you taken to Your Highness?

Yin and Yang Qi-repellent.Yuqing replied.

Yin and Yang Qi-repellent?

Dr. Zhou looked confused. Medical officials and Taoist priests are completely unrelated categories. A Taoist priest and he talked about Taoist elixirs. Isn’t it nonsense? Dr. Zhou didn’t understand at all and said in surprise, “How does Taoist priest view pathology? Why don’t you tell me about it?”

have no idea.

Yuqing's words left Dr. Zhou speechless. She said, "I don't treat diseases and save people, so I naturally don't understand the pathology. This elixir was also refined according to the methods mentioned in ancient books in the tomb. It can not only cultivate qi and cultivate immortals, but also have the effect of analgesics.Yesterday, His Highness had unbearable abdominal pain, so I asked her to take a pill... I took it myself last time, and I woke up early the next morning. I didn't expect that Your Highness could not wake up, so I didn't know why.

Dr. Zhou said: Taoist priest took another identical pill to let me see it.

Yuqing took out a box, which was a deep purple round object the size of a grape. Maybe she brought it to Princess Taiping to continue eating.

Dr. Zhou took the box, squinted his eyes and looked closer for a while, then took a nose to smell it, then took a silver needle to pick the things on it and put them in his mouth to taste it. While he was busy, he asked Yuqing what he used and how he refined it.

Yu Qing looked embarrassed. She thought she had worked a lot of effort to make this thing, so she didn't want to tell others.

But seeing Princess Taiping, who was powerful all over the world, unconscious on the bed, she had to tell her everything.

The method is very complicated and complicated, and Xue Chongxun has never heard of many things. He doesn't understand anyway, and he doesn't know how Dr. Zhou is, so he may not be much better.

At this time, Xue Chongxun seized the key points and asked directly: Dr. Zhou clearly said, can you still take this pill?

Dr. Zhou frowned and pondered for a long time before he said cautiously: Your Highness has a symptom. This disease has no cure from ancient times to today. I have lived for more than 70 years and read medical books. I have never seen any book that has recorded curing this disease... I am incompetent and have no choice but to do anything about Your Highness's disease.As for this kind of Yin-Yang Qi-controlling Pill, it is a Taoist practice and is no longer in the scope of medical treatment. I cannot judge.

Xue Chongxun asked again: Why is my mother unconscious?

Dr. Zhou immediately quoted a lot of mystery, which made Xue Chongxun confused...

In his opinion, Chinese medicine is as mysterious as Taoist priests, but Chinese medicine can cure some diseases with experience.

Yuqing said: Since the imperial doctors say that your highness has a terminal illness and no cure, why not let me take care of her and practice Taoism together? Are the immortals afraid of getting sick?

Xue Chongxun said: But you have to wake her up first. We have something to talk to her, and then we can treat her slowly.

Yuqing looked at Dr. Zhou: Does the imperial doctor have a way to wake up Your Highness?

Dr. Zhou widened his old eyes, as if saying, "I didn't curse her."

At this time, everyone looked at Xue Chongxun and asked him to make a decision, because Xue Chongxun was the eldest son of Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping could not decide on their family affairs, so he naturally had the final say.

Xue Chongxun frowned and thought about it. There was a lot of connections, but he was not a person who complicated things. He simply thought: his mother is already a terminal illness, and it would be useless to blame Yuqing for making a coma. And what if this Taoist priest really cured his mother?

He originally wanted to ask Princess Taiping to authorize the dispatch of troops, but now people can't speak. He was a little angry with Yuqing, but calmed down and thought that if it weren't for Yuqing, Princess Taiping would be in pain. What's more, Princess Taiping is in a coma now, and she can also ask a prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall to write a letter through the court organization, and then ask the emperor to approve it, and it will be legal...

Li Shouli was originally the emperor, but his power was controlled by Taiping before.

So he didn't say anything blamed, and just let Yuqing stay and take care of Princess Taiping, which would at least relieve her pain.

At this point, Xue Chongxun had to give up this place temporarily and spend time on the Political Affairs Hall.

He asked the Minister of War Zhang Shuo to write a letter to the Shen Ce Army, and asked the Minister of Personnel Lu Xiang to transfer Zhang Wulang and Yuwen Xiao back to the capital first.

Although Xue Chongxun did not think that Li Longji's party members who had been keeping a low profile had a great chance of winning, the central government had lost the backbone of Princess Taiping, and Li Shouli's emperor status was not very legal. It was unpredictable when the power was changed, and some things really had to be guarded against.
