SFS Chapter 283 The Root of Disease
Chapter 283 The Root of Disease
The night slowly deepened like inky black, shrouding the entire world in a black veil. The light within the room gradually dimmed, eventually plunging into complete darkness. The two lay side by side on the soft, comfortable bed, ready to fall asleep.
In this quiet darkness, Shen Meizhuang's gentle voice broke the silence: "Rong'er, are you sleepy?"
At this moment, An Lingrong was wondering what method the emperor would use to get Zhen Huan back to the palace. Suddenly, she heard Shen Meizhuang calling her. She came back to her senses and replied softly, "I'm not sleepy."
"Sing me the song you sang yesterday again."
An Lingrong happily agreed: "Okay!"
Then she moved a little distance towards Shen Meizhuang, adjusted her breathing gently, and began to sing softly.
The melodious song flowed out like a gurgling stream in the silent night. Every note seemed to have life, dancing lightly in the air and lingering in the ears of the two.
Shen Meizhuang listened quietly and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration: "It sounds very good, very beautiful."
"Then let's go collect some fine snow tomorrow and make some wine!"
"it is good."
After singing the song, the two gradually fell asleep.
When An Lingrong slowly woke up, a bitter taste of medicine lingered on her tongue. She subconsciously frowned and felt her whole body soft and weak, as if all her bones and muscles had been pulled out.
"Empress, are you awake?" Cai Xing stood by, her eyes red and her voice filled with tears.
An Lingrong looked at her like this, full of confusion, and asked weakly, "What's wrong with me?"
Cai Xing didn't answer, but turned and hurried out of the hall. An Lingrong looked at her back, tried to move her body again, and came to a conclusion with a feeling of helplessness: she was sick again.
It is indeed such a fragile body that it cannot withstand the slightest storm.
After a while, Shen Meizhuang walked into the hall in a panic. Her face looked a little haggard, and her eyes were bloodshot, obviously she had not slept for many days.
"Rong'er, you're finally awake!" Shen Meizhuang quickly walked to the bedside and held An Lingrong's hand tightly.
"Sister, am I sick again?" An Lingrong asked softly.
Shen Meizhuang's words were filled with worry: "Yes, you have been in a coma for five days. If you don't wake up, I will send someone to invite Wen Shichu back to the palace."
"Five days? How could it be so long?" An Lingrong was shocked.
"Well, let Su Ye explain it to you later. How do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
"I feel fine. Apart from feeling weak in my hands and feet and feeling a little hungry, there's nothing else wrong." An Lingrong forced a slight smile, trying to comfort Shen Meizhuang.
At this time, Su Ye hurried into the hall with a bowl of medicine. Shen Meizhuang took the bowl and fed it into An Lingrong's mouth spoon by spoon. After An Lingrong finished drinking all the medicine, Shen Meizhuang considerately picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the medicine stains on the corners of her mouth.
An Lingrong frowned and said to Shen Meizhuang, "Sister, this medicine must have been brewed by Xiao Luzi!"
Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but feel curious and asked doubtfully, "How do you know that he was the one who endured it?"
An Lingrong made a bitter face and complained, "Only the medicine he brews is this bitter! Oh, it's really killing me!"
Caixing, who was standing by, hurriedly took out a piece of osmanthus honey and handed it to An Lingrong's mouth. An Lingrong put the honey into her mouth, and the bitter feeling gradually dissipated, and she felt a little more comfortable.
"You're sick, and you still have the mind to joke!"
Su Ye stepped forward and took the pulse. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, alright. It seems that Doctor Wei's prescription is effective. The Madam's pulse is much stronger."
"Did you give me a new recipe?"
Su Ye nodded. "Yes! Imperial Physician Wei has read many medical books and created a new prescription. I have been helping you recuperate for the past two years, and you have become much stronger. Taking advantage of this illness, he used strong medicine to stimulate all the long-hidden and stubborn roots of your illness, which is why you were comatose for so long. Then he will slowly treat you with other medicines."
"What happens next?"
"Keep taking the medicine for the next few days. Once you're fully recovered, you'll be much healthier and won't get sick easily anymore!"
After hearing this, An Lingrong roughly understood the treatment method they used and praised them sincerely, "Your medical skills are really getting more and more amazing!"
Su Ye felt a little embarrassed by her praise and quickly said, "This time, it's all thanks to Doctor Wei. I originally thought this method was too risky and didn't dare to try it, but it was Doctor Wei who persuaded me!"
After saying that, Su Ye continued, "I used to think he was too slow in prescribing medicine, but now it seems that he is not slow, but cautious. At critical moments, he is much more decisive than me!"
It seems that Su Ye has developed a good impression of Wei Lin!
An Lingrong smiled: "Well, thank you Su Ye, and thank you Doctor Wei."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do!"
An Lingrong jokingly said, "This is what you should do, but this is not what Doctor Wei should do!"
Su Ye said seriously, "Of course it's what he should do. You and Concubine Hui have been so kind to him, and you gave him such a great contribution to the fight against cowpox. Of course he has to repay you!"
An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other and said with a smile, "Silly girl!"
Shen Meizhuang said, "Rong'er, you must reward Doctor Wei well this time!"
"Sister, I know! I know what's going on."
After talking for a while, An Lingrong felt a little sleepy.
After talking for a while, An Lingrong gradually felt sleepy and yawned uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Su Ye said softly, "Your Majesty, I specially added some calming herbs to the medicine just now. If you feel sleepy now, you can sleep for a while."
"Okay!" An Lingrong responded, then her eyes fell on Shen Meizhuang's slightly haggard face, and she said with concern: "Sister, you haven't rested well either, I see you've lost some weight."
Su Ye echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, you have been in a coma for five days. Your Majesty Hui has been guarding you day and night. I have always been worried that Your Majesty Hui would be exhausted."
An Lingrong moved to the side of the bed, waved to Shen Meizhuang, and said, "Sister, come here!"
Shen Meizhuang took off the hairpins on her head and lay down on the bed next to An Lingrong.
An Lingrong held Shen Meizhuang's hand and said distressedly, "Sister, thank you for your hard work. Don't do this again next time."
Shen Meizhuang smiled and responded, "Hey, Su Ye said you won't get sick again, so there won't be a next time."
"Correct."
