Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 356: The Palace in Danger



Chapter 356: The Palace in Danger

The diagnosis of several imperial doctors was consistent, and they all shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing they could do to save the patient.

Eunuch Gao's face was full of worry, and a sense of desolation seemed to be rising from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Liang pretended to take the patient's pulse and found that he was breathing very slowly. If he was not rescued in time, he might not survive the night.

Xia Liang pulled Eunuch Gao over and told him everything without reservation. After hearing what he said, Eunuch Gao turned pale with fright, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

Luo Yu then glanced at the imperial physicians in the outer chambers of the palace and said, "Eunuch, if you trust us, drive them out now and have the guards guard the door. No one is allowed to enter without our permission. We have a special Miao Gu treatment, but it's not something that can be shown to others, so please understand."

When Eunuch Gao heard this, he felt like giving it a try, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Luo Yu was afraid that he would be afraid of the authority of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, so he reminded him, "Eunuch, if anything happens to the Emperor, neither you nor I will have a good ending. Besides, the young princes are still young. You know that the power of the princes is very great. If there is unrest, it will always be the innocent people who suffer. Therefore, even the Empress Dowager and the Empress cannot step in casually. You should talk to the Yaocheng Envoy about this. He will stand on our side without hesitation."

Eunuch Gao was stunned. He had never expected Miss Luo to have such a calm and clear mind. No wonder Prince Ning insisted on marrying her. At the time, the Emperor had been puzzled as to why his brother would marry an ordinary girl with no background. Now, thinking about it, they were just too naive.

Fortunately, the girl is a good girl who considers the overall situation.

Eunuch Gao asked several imperial doctors to leave. Originally, the imperial doctors were afraid that they would lose their heads if they could not cure the disease. But when they heard that Miss Xia would do her best to treat the emperor, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

After they left, Qin Bingrui bolted the door from the inside.

"Sister, I suspect this could be mineral poisoning. First, get the small medical equipment out so we can conduct a comprehensive examination of the Emperor's body. If we can identify the specific poison, we can then prescribe the appropriate medicine."

Just do it.

All medical equipment in the world today has been improved with high technology and is very smart and convenient. Luo Yu touched the invisible bracelet and a color screen appeared in front of her. She selected the medical equipment that had been connected to the chassis program at that time. In an instant, a new medical device the size of a human body appeared in the room.

As expected, through the inspection of the equipment, it was discovered that the emperor was indeed suffering from mercury poisoning. It was originally just chronic poisoning, but for some reason the dosage had been increased in the past six months.

Qin Bingrui frowned slightly: "Did the emperor take elixirs?"

Xia Liang nodded: "I've seen some historical documentaries that say that in ancient times, emperors sought out Taoist priests to refine elixirs in order to prolong their lives. The emperor is most afraid of dying young at his age. Besides, the average lifespan of ancient emperors was not high, so it's normal for him to start taking drugs."

Luo Yu seemed to be lost in thought.

"Then why has the dosage been increased in the past six months?"

Qin Bingrui sighed and said, "Perhaps someone knows there's something wrong with this elixir and wants to kill the emperor?"

"..."

The noises outside were getting louder and louder. Many forces brought their men to the outside of Funing Palace, fearing that someone would take advantage of the chaos and sneak in.

Perhaps, everyone has his own thoughts.

While fiddling with the medical infusion, Xia Liang sighed, "Sister Luo Yu, thank goodness you reacted in time and let the dragon protect you so you could follow us. Otherwise, these forces would have definitely taken our heads."

Luo Yu's brows were still furrowed.

She thought about all these people and felt that Zhu Jinyou had the greatest doubts.

Perhaps it was the Queen Mother who wanted her son to ascend the throne.

Qin Bingrui knew she was feeling upset and consoled her, "Sister, think positively. Prince Ning might not be aware of this. It was the Queen Mother who insisted on doing this. He is nothing more than a pawn in her hands!"

He was afraid that Luo Yu would overthink it, so he smiled and said, "With Doctor Xia here, there must be a way to cure the emperor."

Xia Liang put on a white coat of a modern doctor, put on a mask, and thoroughly disinfected the house with a machine.

In order to conceal their identity, Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu did not change their clothes, but only disinfected their entire bodies.

"Sister Luo Yu, I don't think any of these people are good. However, the emperor's mercury poisoning this time is acute. If his kidney function fails completely, it will be troublesome. Ordinary treatments will definitely not work."

The three of them worked in an orderly manner and tinkered until dark.

I didn't bring any instruments when I came here originally, and suddenly so many things appeared, which really attracted attention.

The final examination results of the instruments determined that it would be difficult for the emperor to wake up. Despite the current efforts in treatment, he is probably still in a semi-vegetative state. His organ failure is too severe, and he can only rely on oxygen and infusion to maintain his physical strength.

The oxygen and infusion equipment cannot be exposed to the outside. If someone deliberately breaks in and damages these equipment, the emperor will surely die.

Luo Yu thought for a long time.

He spoke slowly, "I've decided to lay a layer of invisible nanowires in front of the Emperor's bedroom. Now we can only rely on the protection of the dragon and explain to everyone that we can protect the Emperor's life for the time being, as long as we can. At the very least, we must prevent civil unrest in the court. If the various factions really start fighting, all our hard work will be wasted."

Qin Bingrui's eyes flashed, thinking that the major tiger talismans must be in the hands of the emperor. If he got the tiger talismans and explained to everyone that it was the emperor's order, would those generals and princes who led large numbers of troops dare not act recklessly for the time being?

Thinking of this, Qin Bingrui asked Luo Yu to process the emperor's voice that he had recorded before, and he called Eunuch Gao into the house.

There was a brocade curtain between the emperor's bedroom and the outer room, so Eunuch Gao could not see the emperor's condition.

Xia Liang explained to him: "The emperor's life has been saved, but this time it was all thanks to the protection of the dragon. The emperor will be conscious for a while, and after waking up, he will be unconscious for a while, but he will still be conscious and needs the dragon to keep supplying him with energy."

Eunuch Gao dared not disbelieve it, so he asked, "Young lady, why did you ask me to come in?"

"The Emperor will have something to say to you when he wakes up."

Thinking that it was not reliable for Eunuch Gao to testify alone, Qin Bingrui called the Queen and Eunuch Yao to come in together.

Zhu Jinyou wanted to go in together, but Qin Luoqi shook his head at Qin Bingrui. Qin Bingrui refused him because "too many people would disturb the emperor's rest."

At the same time, the Governor of the Imperial Guards Feng Zhiyan led tens of thousands of Imperial Guards, Prince Beijing led the Hua Family Army, and Yan Li led the Yan Family Army to guard outside several gates of the imperial palace.

Inside the palace, Ye Yucheng, the deputy city envoy of the Imperial City Department, led two thousand Imperial City Department guards to guard outside the Funing Palace.

In a high-rise building somewhere in the capital, the imperial palace can be seen from afar. Master Murong could not have imagined that the three girls could summon the dragon again and use it to sneak into the palace.

"Sir, our Murong army has all gathered outside the city. If a battle breaks out, our advantage will not be that great."

"Wait a minute, the current forces are not clear yet."

"Young Master, what you mean is that the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness Prince Ning are not on the same side?"

"What do you think? The Queen Mother certainly wants to help her son, but what if this son is unreliable?"

Li Feng didn't understand. At the moment, it seemed that only the Murong family army was here to take advantage of the situation.

"I have to ensure Miss Luo's safety before I can decide which side to stand on."

Li Feng didn't understand it before, but now, thinking about how this girl had managed to sneak into the palace and get caught up in this turmoil, it seemed like everything was planned by her, and he couldn't help but admire her. Young Master Murong was attracted to her, but he was afraid that the road ahead would be difficult.
