"this!"

Old Doctor Xie was a little hesitant. He didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask so straightforwardly.

He wanted to say it more tactfully, and forget about his own life, but he still wanted to protect the lives of his children and grandchildren, and he also wanted to say more to give this woman with supreme rights some hope.

But when he raised his head, he didn't see the Queen Mother's holy face clearly, but he saw Lu Sheige's tight thin lips.

Lu Sheige's words rang in my ears once.

"Thank you, old doctor, for asking you to come out this time. I just hope that you can do your best to treat me and tell the truth. Don't hide it."

The words were still in his ears, and the scene in front of him made Old Doctor Xie much clearer. He closed his eyes and turned his head, and kowtowed three times before saying: "The emperor's body is in serious condition. It seems that the end of his life has come. Even if he works hard to nurse him back to health, he will still be able to recover."

At most...at most, you can only live for one to two months."

After saying this, old doctor Xie was sweating profusely, as if all his strength had been exhausted. He lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

You can live for a month or two at most!

What if it's not much? Wouldn't it mean that we can't even get through this month?

The Queen Mother covered her heart: "My son!"

"aunt."

Lu Sheige hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and shouted urgently, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother raised her hand and waved it, and her voice was slightly low: "Don't worry, it's okay."

How could she fall at this time?

Even if she dies, she must make arrangements for Sheo Ge and Xing'er before she can die and meet her sister and brother-in-law under Jiuquan.

Even though she had expected it in her heart, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel completely hopeless at this moment. Her lips trembled, as if she had made a lot of determination, and after a while she asked: "Is there any way to extend the emperor's life?"

Lu Sheige suddenly looked at the Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?

Is that what she thought?

Or is she overthinking it?

Now that Old Doctor Xie has risked his life, there is nothing he dares to say: "If you want to forcefully save the emperor's life, you have to use the medicine of tiger and wolf. However, even if you use the medicine of tiger and wolf, you can only...can only do more

It will last about half a year."

In other words, whether the emperor takes medicine or not, he will not survive this year.

With medication, you can live about half a year longer.

Without medicine, I can only live for a month or two at most.

No one in the palace would dare to say this.

The Queen Mother knew in her heart that the Emperor was not good, but she still held on to her meager hope.

Now, all hopes were shattered by one word from Dr. Xie.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and was speechless for a while. She seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be asleep.

The palace is spacious and tall, with piles of gold and jade. The splendor and splendor make the three people who stay in the palace look insignificant.

Just when old doctor Xie thought he was going to kneel until the end of time, the Queen Mother's voice sounded.

"When can this tiger-wolf medicine be used?"

"aunt."

Lu Sheige exclaimed, threw himself at the Queen Mother's legs in disbelief, raised his head and asked, "Why is this so?"

Treat your second brother like this?

As you can tell from the name, Tiger Wolf Medicine is very harmful to the human body.

Although the second brother's life is short, Lu Sheige believes that as long as he carefully prepares the medicine, he can live longer.

Using the medicine of tiger and wolf is draining his hard work!

How much pain must the second brother endure to survive the period of time when he is being held up by taking medicine?

The Queen Mother did not look at Lu Sheige, only stared at Old Doctor Xie firmly, and said sternly: "Speak."

Old doctor Xie trembled and said hurriedly: "It will take at most two days to gather all the medicinal materials."

It's not that he came unprepared, he just didn't expect that he would actually reach this point in the end.

However, if we really take this step, what will be the final result, old doctor Xie can’t see clearly!

The Queen Mother nodded tiredly: "You go down and prepare first. I will discuss this matter with the Emperor."

It's not that the Queen Mother can't make the decision in this matter, but she still has to ask He Bei if he is willing.

This is Hebei's fate, she can't make the decision casually.

Thinking of the orphan and widowed mother in the harem, the Queen Mother felt an indescribable feeling of exhaustion in her heart.

But she had to hold on and not dare to fall down. He Bei, Xiang Ge, Xing'er, Wanying, the children in Wanying's belly, and the Shen family all needed her to protect them.

At this time, she can't take a step back. If she takes a step back, all the people she cares about may be in danger.

The Queen Mother raised her hand, landed on Lu Shengge's soft hair, and stroked it gently.

Looking at the face in front of her that was 50-60% similar to He Bei's and 70-80% similar to her younger sister, the Queen Mother's heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.

When Xi Ge was born, she was the one who guarded her sister and cut the umbilical cord with her own hands, and she was also the first to hold the child.

It is said that whoever holds the baby first at birth will look like him.

Her sister had discussed with her a long time ago, saying that if the child in her belly was a girl, she would be the first to hold it. Her sister hoped that her daughter would be as smart and beautiful as her sister.

But now, the Queen Mother regrets that she hugged this girl with her own hands.

She had a rough life. Although she was a queen mother and enjoyed endless glory and wealth, she did not feel that such a life was what she wanted.

Her sister also told her that if she could not give birth to a daughter in the future, she would let She Ge become her daughter. When She Ge grew up and got married, she would have two natal families and a group of brothers to protect her.

But now, He Bei, the only one who can protect Sheng Ge, is running out of time!

She is already old, her three sons are dead, and there is no difference between living and dying to her.

If she had a choice, she would rather not have this wealth and splendor than be the Queen Mother.

But she has no right to choose. She has been forced to get to where she is today, step by step until she is where she is now.

"Xie Ge, if your brother..." the Queen Mother choked, tears falling in clusters.

"Aunt, I will be fine, I will be fine." Lu Sheige hugged the Queen Mother's waist tightly, buried his face in the Queen Mother's arms and cried bitterly.

The second brother will be fine. Xing'er has not grown up yet, she is not married yet, the aunt still has to wait for him to fulfill her filial piety, and the queen's sister-in-law still waits for the second brother to accompany her to grow old together.

How could he let go at this time and leave them, a group of old, weak, women and children?

When I met Lu Hebei again, he was the King of Qin, the emperor's third son, and the queen's biological son. Lu Sheige could no longer call him second brother, but Lu Hebei was unwilling to call him third cousin. The third cousin had already gone, and the second cousin

Brother has occupied the position of third cousin, and he can no longer occupy third cousin's existence in everyone's minds.

Most of the time, Lu Shege would vaguely call Lu Hebei brother.

In the eyes of outsiders, this voice means "brother" is close, and it represents Lu Shege's status in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Only Lu Sheige, the Queen Mother and Lu Hebei knew that the reason for calling her brother was because Lu Hebei was her biological brother and the son of her aunt.

She and her second brother are the memories that our mother left to our aunt and the courage to live.

Outside the palace, the sky became overcast.

The wind was surging, and the howling wind brought in dark clouds and brought spring rain as precious as oil.

The rain falls on the leaves, among the flower branches, on the lush grass...

In the palace, the Queen Mother and Lu Sheige cuddled tightly together, quietly watching the wind and rain blowing on the flower branches outside the window.

This pair, who were not mother and daughter but were as close as mother and daughter, had a rare moment of silence.

The recent update has been unstable, so I would like to apologize to everyone in advance.

Grandma had surgery for a broken ankle and needed help.

I am also busy taking exams and writing my graduation thesis, so I really have no time to spare.

Hope everyone understands!

grateful!
Chapter completed!
