The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 73
"Jiang Qi, how is the father's health? Is there any hidden illness?" Li Chengqian asked Jiang Qi who was taking Li Shimin's pulse.

"Your Majesty will inevitably suffer some trauma when fighting on the battlefield. Now that the weather is cloudy and rainy, your Majesty will definitely feel soreness and weakness in the wound."

"Caomin has already prescribed a prescription. As long as the emperor can take the medicine on time, it will be cured in two years or half a year." Jiang Qi said to Li Chengqian.

"That's good, then we don't have to worry about him. Hurry up and check on the Queen Mother to see if the Queen Mother is in good health." Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Qi, and left the Ganlu Palace without looking back.

Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.And said to Wang De beside him: "Is this kid still feeling sorry for his [-]% profit?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't be long before His Royal Highness will understand the painstaking efforts of the Emperor." Wang De said to Li Shimin.

After speaking, I saw Li Shimin's eyes widened.Then he slapped himself lightly on the face, and then said with a smile: "I'm used to it, I haven't changed it for a while."

……

"Mother, this is the famous doctor that Erchen told you last time. Bring him here today to show the mother to see his body." Li Chengqian said to the eldest grandson empress with a smile.

"The queen mother is in good health, you'd better take him to show your father." Empress Changsun said to Li Chengqian lovingly.

"I've seen it just now, the old man's body is great." Li Chengqian said casually while helping the eldest grandson empress to the seat.

Hearing Li Chengqian call Li Shimin an old man, Empress Changsun shook her head helplessly.Then he said to Li Chengqian earnestly: "You must never call your father emperor like that again in the future."

"Mother, don't you know? What the father wants in the hands of the ministers is money." Li Chengqian said to the eldest grandson empress with a distressed expression.

"Your father abolished your crown prince. Not only did you not get angry, but you were quite happy. On the contrary, because of this incident, you became angry with your father."

"I really don't know the seriousness, what can the queen mother say about you?" Empress Changsun said helplessly.

"Alright, alright, my son will remember it. I will definitely respect my father in the future. Empress Mother, please sit down quickly and let Jiang Qi show you." Li Chengqian said to the eldest grandson empress with a smile.

Empress Changsun was also helpless and could only sigh helplessly.Then he stretched out his wrist and asked Jiang Qi to check his pulse.

Jiang Qi spread a silk scarf on Empress Changsun's wrist.Then put his fingers on the silk scarf to diagnose the pulse of Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun is Li Shimin's main concubine, and not everyone can touch her body.Otherwise, there would be no legend of hanging silk to adjust the veins.

Li Chengqian looked at Jiang Qi intently, after all he knew in his heart that his mother was seriously ill.And there will be more than three years to die.

At this time, Jiang Qi's expression became more and more solemn.Afterwards, he asked the Empress Changsun many questions carefully.

In this way, it took nearly half an hour before Jiang Qi completed the diagnosis of Empress Changsun.

But Jiang Qi's complexion is not too good.You don't need to ask to know that there must be something wrong with Empress Changsun's health.

"Tell me, what's going on. What's wrong with the queen mother." Li Chengqian also said to Jiang Qi with a serious face.

According to historical records, Empress Changsun died of Qi disease, but what kind of disease is this Qi disease?Later generations did not give an accurate conclusion.

Some say it's tuberculosis, some say it's asthma.In short, there are many claims, but no real evidence for the discussion.

"My lord, there is indeed something wrong with the empress, but it is not a disease but poisoning." Jiang Qi whispered to Li Chengqian.

Hearing that Empress Changsun was poisoned, Li Chengqian couldn't help being shocked.After all, there is no record of Queen Changsun being poisoned in history.

Seeing Li Chengqian's surprised expression, Jiang Qi continued to speak: "The empress is poisoned by a slow poison, and the time of poisoning should be 5 years ago."

Empress Changsun heard that she had been poisoned by chronic poison five years ago, so she said, "I just gave birth to Li Zhi five years ago. Could it be that I was poisoned at that time?"

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Jiang Qi nodded, and then said: "If Cao Min guessed correctly, the empress has never given birth to a prince since then, right?"

Empress Changsun only gave birth to two daughters after Li Zhi, and she really never gave birth to a prince.Of course, it is no secret to ordinary people that Empress Changsun gave birth to two princesses.But for Jiang Qi, he really didn't know.

"The mother has been poisoned by chronic poison, so what does it have to do with whether or not she has a son?" Li Chengqian asked Jiang Qi puzzled.

"My lord doesn't know, it's a very rare poison called mother and child death. It's a negative chronic poison."

"Usually the poisoned person will not be poisoned at all, but once the poisoned person becomes pregnant, this chronic poison may have an attack."

"If the poisoned person is pregnant with a boy, the poison of mother-child death will occur. Because the boy belongs to yang, the yin energy cannot be absorbed by the fetus, but will be inhaled by the pregnant woman."

"After a pregnant woman is poisoned, the fetus will die within a certain period of time due to the coldness of the body. Once the fetus dies in the pregnant woman's womb, the pregnant woman will also die from the poison."

"If you're pregnant with a girl, you can absorb this yin energy. It won't affect the poisoned person at all." Jiang Qi said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Jiang Qi: "Then I don't know what it will look like once the poison occurs, can it be seen that he died of poisoning?"

"Once the poison occurs, pregnant women will not be able to detect the phenomenon of pregnancy. Unless you know the person whose mother and child both died, you will definitely think it is a disease of Qi disease, and you will not think of death from poisoning." Jiang Qi said to Li Chengqian .

This time Li Chengqian finally understood why Empress Changsun died of gas disease.To be precise, what caused the poison.

According to historical records, Princess Xincheng, the youngest daughter of Empress Changsun, was born in the eighth year of Zhenguan.However, Empress Changsun died two years later, in the 10th year of Zhenguan.

In the 10th year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun must have been pregnant again.And it was a boy.

At this time, the poison of the death of both mother and child in the body of Empress Changsun also broke out.And because of the particularity of the poison of the death of both mother and child, naturally no one would find out that Empress Changsun was pregnant.

In the end, Empress Changsun died of the poison of both mother and child, so she would naturally be regarded as a disease of Qi by the imperial doctor.

After understanding everything, Li Chengqian's face was gloomy, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.His fists were also tightly clenched.

"Jiang Qi, can this poison of mother and child death be cured?" Li Chengqian asked Jiang Qi.
