Chapter 14 Life and Death
After the court, Ning Yuezhao accompanied the queen back to the Dragon Hall.

The Imperial Physician Order Fu Yuan was already waiting in the hall, when he saw the empress and Ning Yuezhao, he hurriedly saluted.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, princess."

"Principal Fu is exempt." The queen glanced at the young man beside Fu Yuan and smiled, "Is this the son of Imperial Physician Fu?"

Fu Yuan was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, it is the dog Fu Liao." After speaking, Fu Yuan gestured to his son with his eyes.

Fu Liao paused for a moment, then looked at his father inexplicably.

Fu Yuan was very speechless about his son's elm bumpy head, but this child's medical talent was extremely high, which really made him love and hate him.

Ning Yuezhao calmly sized up the young man who replaced An Chen. He looked about seventy to eight times like Imperial Physician Fu.Fu Yuan's status today is not only because of his excellent medical skills, but also because he is proficient in human affairs. He never thought that he would have such a dull son. It's really interesting.

The queen didn't care about Fu Liao's performance, and asked the two to feel her pulse after she was seated.

Fu Yuan carefully supported his veins and said: "Your Majesty has been full of qi and blood in the past few days, and your body is in good condition. Because your illness is caused by overwork and the condensation of stagnant qi, so please relax your mind and maintain a happy mood. Too much work."

Because of Jiang Nian's good performance this morning, the empress gave her a good face in front of the ministers, and she should be in a much happier mood now.

After Fu Yuan's pulse diagnosis, he was about to put away the pulse pillow, but Fu Liao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I also want to take your pulse."

When Fu Yuan heard this, his eyelids twitched in shock, "Presumptuous, you have no place to talk here!"

The queen smiled, "It's okay."

Fu Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he has just passed the imperial physician selection examination, but he is only familiar with medical books and pharmacopoeias. How can you let a yellow-haired brat take the pulse casually with his golden body?"

The queen said: "I trust the medical skills of Imperial Physician Fu, the tiger father has no dogs, let me see Xiao Fu's medical skills."

Fu Yuan had no choice but to give Fu Liao a hard look.

Fu Liao turned a blind eye to this, and went straight to the side of the queen, and took the pulse carefully.

After he withdrew his hand, the queen asked him, "I just saw that you were frowning while helping your pulse, so it's okay to speak up."

Fu Liao ignored his father's warning eyes, and said seriously: "As my father said, your majesty's illness is caused by long-term hard work, but the heart and internal organs have been severely damaged, and can only be maintained by medicine and acupuncture. .”

Hearing this, the Empress nodded, "That's right, Imperial Physician Fu told me the same before, you are his son, it's not surprising to know this, but there are other diagnoses? If not, then it's not a skill."

Fu Liao looked up at the queen, and asked very seriously, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Before the Queen could speak, Fu Yuan scolded, "Don't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty."

The empress waved her hand towards Fu Yuan, "It's okay, I'm not a person who shies away from diseases, let him talk about it."

"Your Majesty's heart and viscera have been severely damaged, which is why he is short of energy and blood, and his body is weak. With medical treatment and a peaceful and happy mood, he may still live for a year or a half. If the mood is repeatedly agitated, he may die at any time. Your life is in danger." Fu Liao's tone was calm, as if he was just talking about a very common thing.

Fu Yuan knelt down with a plop, and even pulled Fu Liao.Unaware of his father's sudden move, Fu Liao was dragged to kneel down.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! The dog has no shape!"

Ning Yuezhao's heart was shocked, and she quickly held the Queen's hand tightly, her throat choked up and said: "Mother Queen..."

She knew that her mother's health was getting worse year by year, and the people in the Tai Hospital would only say that His Majesty should take more rest, but no one could say when the disease would be cured.She also vaguely knew in her heart that the result might not be good, but she was still willing to deceive herself.Now someone has told her bluntly that her mother can only stay with her for another year at most.The hope she had held for a long time was shattered, and she panicked and angry at the same time.

"Come here, the imperial doctor Fu Liao is ineffective in diagnosis and treatment, dragged out of the imperial staff for eighty!"

The servants were all taken aback when they heard the princess's order, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, and immediately stepped forward to set up Fu Liao to drag him out.

"Wait a minute." When Fu Liao was dragged to the door, the queen suddenly said, "I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Imperial Physician Fu and Imperial Physician Fu should all step down."

"Empress!" Ning Yuezhao called her angrily and anxiously.

The queen patted the back of her hand lightly, "I'm fine, let them back down."

Ning Yuezhao had no choice but to ask the servant to let Fu Liao go.

"roll!"

Fu Yuan, who felt that he had walked away from the gate of hell, hurriedly thanked him, and then took his son who had almost caused a catastrophe to leave.

After dismissing the palace attendants, Ning Yuezhao sat on the footsteps beside the empress, resting his head on her legs, and did not speak.

The queen patted her head dotingly, "Azhao, life and death are fate, I have long since disregarded such things. Now as long as you can take care of yourself, I will rest in peace."

Ning Yuezhao clenched her fists, "Tomorrow I will post the imperial list to recruit talented people from all over the world. I don't believe that no one can cure my mother's illness!"

The queen straightened her temples and said with a light smile: "When your father was seriously ill, I thought so too, and I did the same. But later, I drove those people away. They Regarding whether or not your father can be cured, he still has the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, risking his life to fight for glory and wealth. Now, let’s enjoy the rest of the time happily.”

Hearing the Queen's words, Ning Yuezhao felt even more uncomfortable. She couldn't be as open-minded as her mother for the time being, so she could only snuggle quietly on her mother's lap.

After a long time, she said leisurely: "Mother, tell Jiang Nian to ascend to the Dragon Palace." That person always has a way to make mother happy, so let him come and talk to mother.

At this time, Jiang Nian was copying official documents in the Imperial Academy.At this moment, he felt a little thirsty, and there was already lukewarm tea at hand.

Jiang Nian put down his pen, picked up the teacup, and while skimming off the tea foam with the lid of the cup, he looked up at the second place sitting opposite him.

But seeing the No. [-] smile at him, Jiang Nian also nodded slightly to him as a way of expressing his gratitude.

There is no need for him to refuse this kind of just right hospitality.

Seeing Jiang Nian drinking the tea at the second place, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.He was born in a poor family and had no backer in the imperial capital, and now he has this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the future emperor's husband is sitting opposite him, so he has to grasp it well.Too deliberate flattery will make people bored, too cold, the other party may not feel it.How to flatter is also a science!
Just when he was searching for the second place in the list, thinking of saying something to make it close to a good one, suddenly a palace official came to convey His Majesty's will and summoned Jiang Nian to Shenglong Palace.

This eunuch is quite respectable in front of the empress, he is a fifth-rank supervisor named Yu Shi.

Walking to a place where no one was around, Jiang Nian took a quick step and stuffed a purse into his hand.

Yu Shi squeezed the purse, secretly weighing the weight in his heart, this son-in-law-to-be is really generous.

So, he told about how the son of the imperial physician Fu's son who had ascended to the Dragon Palace in the morning offended the queen, and was almost punished by the princess with the imperial staff.

"This son of Imperial Physician Fu is too bold." Yu Shi sighed.

Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Shi leaned into Jiang Nian's ear and said, "Master Jiang, yesterday His Highness sent an order to the Tai Hospital, and there will be no summons from now on. Doctor An will no longer be able to enter the palace at will."

In the eyes of Yu Shi and others, the princess's move was to flatter the future son-in-law, which showed that she attached great importance to her, and she wanted to please Jiang Nian even more in the future.

When Jiang Nian heard the words, he smiled lightly, but did not speak.

Ning Yuezhao gave him and her the chance to treat each other as guests, so why not give An Chen another chance to find happiness?
This time, he will not let the opportunity slip away!

From a distance, some palace people bowed to salute when they saw the peerless Zhuangyuan Lang approaching.

Yu Shi didn't say anything else, and focused on leading the way ahead.

When Jiang Nian stepped into the Ascending Dragon Hall, the empress was talking to Ning Yuezhao. She didn't know what they were talking about, and the empress had a slight smile on her face.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, princess."

"Jiang Qing doesn't need to be too polite." The queen raised her hand to support her, "give me a seat."

The palace servants moved the stools, and Jiang Nian sat down calmly.

The queen said: "The princess and I were talking about the last time you went out of the palace, what happened to the story?"

Jiang Nian glanced at Ning Yuezhao, and said to the Queen: "I know that Your Majesty is thinking about that story. Fortunately, I have been listening to books in the Feng Tea House these days, otherwise I would not be able to answer Your Majesty's question today."

In the story, after the imperial husband was assassinated, his life hangs by a thread.The queen who was far away in the deep palace left her soul in a dream, and saw the scene where the husband was seriously injured and dying.The queen, who woke up in the middle of the night, went out of the city in the starry night and rushed to the front line.But the empress hurried on, traveling day and night, but what she saw was the cold corpse of her husband.

After the death of the imperial husband, Emperor Qingyang's soul left his body and returned to his place.The general didn't expect that because the emperor's husband had done many things to benefit the people during his administration and had accumulated enough merits, even if the war had not yet been won, he would return to his throne ahead of schedule.

Emperor Qingyang was very angry at Fengping's behavior of going down to the world without authorization and disturbing the world for his own selfish desires.Thus, Emperor Qingyang re-entered the world, returned to the body of the emperor's husband, and exposed the general's conspiracy.

The queen finally understood her intentions and executed the general.Under the leadership of the imperial husband, the invaders were successfully expelled.

The emperor's husband accompanied the queen to enjoy her life in the mortal world. After the two returned to the heaven, they became immortal companions under the blessing of the gods.Feng Ping was sentenced to be imprisoned in the abyss of the East China Sea forever to redeem his crimes.

The story was over, but the hall was quiet.

The storyteller made up a happy ending for the story, catering to the preferences of the common people, but the reality is cruel.The empress seemed unable to enjoy herself, she was silent and didn't know what she was thinking.

On the other hand, Ning Yuezhao gave Jiang Nian a hard look, and blamed him for telling such a crappy story, which made his mother unhappy.

Jiang Nian is also very innocent, I didn't make up this story, and the empress is already at this age, so it's not hard to ignore this matter.

The queen raised her eyes, just in time to see the eye contact between the two, she couldn't help but smile, "It's enough to have one person who treats you wholeheartedly."

"Empress." Ning Yuezhao called her with some distress.

The queen took her hand with a faint smile, and motioned for Jiang Nian to come forward, and folded his two hands together, "You should cherish fate."

Ning Yuezhao blushed slightly, and suddenly clasped her slender hands with distinct knuckles, making her palm feel wet.

"I'm a little tired. I heard that the lotus flowers in Taiye Pond are blooming. Go and pick some for me."

Ning Yuezhao knew that the empress was creating opportunities for them to get along, but she was eager to get rid of that hand at the moment, so she could only agree, and then took the opportunity to withdraw her hand calmly.

When her hand left his own, a faint sense of disappointment crossed Jiang Nian's chest.
