Chapter two hundred and ninety-six first meeting Zhou Ehuang

When Su Chen saw Zhou Ehuang, his haggard face seemed to be pulled deep in his heart, and it was very uncomfortable, just like seeing his relatives suffering from injustice and disease, and had a deep sense of worry and pity.

This is a female historical figure who is both important and important in history books. How few women can record names and deeds in thousands of years of historical books!

What's more, Zhou Ehuang's historical writings are almost positive comments, affirmation of his talent and beauty, as well as the sympathy and pity of literati and poets, and even unfairness. This is even more rare.

Before Zhou Ehuang left the palace, he was famous in Yangzhou, Jiangbei during the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was well-versed in history books, proficient in music, and was very good at playing chess. He was especially good at playing pipa. At the age of seventeen, Zhou Zong took her to the palace imperial garden and played pipa for Yuan Zong to celebrate his birthday. Yuan Zong was deeply praised and rewarded him with a rare burning pipa.

When Zhou Ehuang was nineteen years old, Yuanzong regarded his father as the elder of the country, and his woman was dignified and talented, so he married Li Yu, who was the King of Wu at that time. In June of the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty (961), Emperor Yuanzong of Southern Tang passed away and Li Yu succeeded to the throne, so he conferred Ehuang as the empress, favored the harem alone, and was very loving.

Because Zhou Ehuang was proficient in music, he once drank with the emperor at snowy night. Ehuang raised his glass to invite the emperor to dance. Li Yu suggested that if he wanted him to dance, unless he could write a new song for him, Ehuang agreed, sang casually, and wrote "Invitation to Drunk and Dance Po", and created the music score "Hate Comes and Breaking", which was quite popular in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The most famous thing is to complete the "Ni Shang Yu Yi Song", which is a fine piece of the Tang Dynasty's great songs. By the Five Dynasties, it was lost due to military chaos. Li Yu once found the broken score and ordered the palace musicians to repair it, but it was not satisfactory. Zhou Ehuang reviewed the fallacies of the old score, added, deleted and adjusted, and compiled it into a new song, and played it with a pipa. It was pleasant and almost restored.

A woman with such talent is as thin as firewood at this time, and her appearance is dim, which makes people feel pity.

"Su Chen, a sage, have met Empress Zhou!" Su Chen bowed.

Queen Zhou shook her head and said, "No need to be polite... I have heard that Mr. Su is famous for a long time, and I just wish I had no chance to meet. Today, you can enter the palace to diagnose the disease in the palace. Regardless of whether it is cured well, when you meet, you will have a great regret in my heart. Cough cough..."

When she said this, she seemed a little excited and even started to cough.

The close-fitting palace maid Qiu Shui immediately took out a silk scarf to wipe the queen. As a result, after coughing, there was blood on the scarf, which made everyone discolored and they couldn't help but worry.

Coughing blood is not a good sign, it is a sign of being in a terminal illness and not having too much time.

"Sister--" Zhou Jiamin exclaimed, crying in a hurry.

Su Chen's face became calm, worried that it was tuberculosis, which was a terminal illness in ancient times. He tried his best to remain calm and grabbed Zhou Jiamin's arm and said, "Jiamin, go aside first, don't panic, let me take the queen's pulse."

Zhou Jiamin was pulled by Su Chen's arm, turned around and saw Su Chen's serious expression. Her calm expression suddenly became much quieter. She nodded slightly and said urgently: "Brother Su, you must save my sister."

Su Chen smiled slightly and nodded to show her peace of mind.

While caring about the queen's condition, the concubines looked at Su Chen and Zhou Jiamin's physical contact, pulling and pulling. Such an unmarried man and woman with such skin touched each other was a bit unethical; but when they saw the two of them, they didn't feel unfamiliar at all, they were all surprised whether they were already very close?

Li Yu sat on the side of the bed with a worried look on his face, reached out to hold Zhou Ehuang's hand, and said in tears: "Ehuang, you must not have something wrong. Su Chen has a very high medical skills and will definitely cure you."

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ehuang's mouth. Her illness had been going on for nearly a year, and her health was getting worse day by day. Especially this month, she obviously felt that her vitality was passing away little by little, and there were symptoms of coughing up blood. She was gradually despairing in her heart, and she had a premonition that her deadline was approaching.

"Leave it to fate..." Zhou Ehuang said a little softly, and two tears fell from the corner of his eyes, but she was strong and forced to hold back and not cry out.

Su Chen sat on a silk-wrapped soft pier in front of the bed, reached out and put his hand on Queen Zhou's wrist scarf, and began to take the pulse.

Queen Zhou's pulse is deep, slow and weak, spleen and kidney qi deficiency, fatigue and weakness, accompanied by low fever, thin body and red moss...

Combined with these symptoms, Su Chen's face changed slightly. After a closer examination, he had already been diagnosed. Queen Zhou was infected with wind and cold in autumn and had a low fever. She became ill for a long time, her constitution was weakened, and her immunity was low, which induced pneumonia, and eventually turned into severe pneumonia, but it was not tuberculosis, because the two were different because of the source of infection.

Tuberculosis is caused by binding to bacilli, while pneumonia is caused by fungi, pneumococcal infection, etc. The symptoms in the early stage are like, but different in the later stages.

"How long has it been?" Su Chen stood up and frowned and asked.

The personal palace maid Qiu Shui was stared at by him and was scared to death. She glanced at the queen first, and then said truthfully: "It's been a month."

When Li Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Why didn't you report to me?"

The palace maid Qiu Shui knelt directly on the ground and said weakly: "The queen will not let the servants tell me, so that the officials will worry and affect national affairs!"

Li Yu held the hand of the Great Zhou Queen tightly and said, "Ehuang, why are you so stupid? Why don't you tell me to bear it alone..."

Zhou Ehuang shook his head weakly and said, "It's useless to say it. One more person will only increase your worries."

The imperial doctor in the palace had been treated for more than half a year, but it had not improved. It was getting worse and worse. Zhou Ehuang had already made the worst plan and guessed that he might not be able to pass this level.

Su Chen felt a little relieved: One month, that's fine, it's not long! This week, the queen obviously had bronchitis after a fever due to wind-cold infection, which was not cured in time, and often had low fever, which eventually led to inflammation of the lungs and was not cured for a long time, leading to lesions and severe pneumonia. At the same time, there is a tendency for nephritis. If this continues, good people will be abandoned.

Fortunately, it was not tuberculosis. It was basically a terminal illness in ancient times and was difficult to cure. If Su Chen encountered it, he would definitely be helpless. In modern medicine, tuberculosis cannot be easily cured, let alone the Tang and Song dynasties.

While Su Chen was pondering, everyone in the hall focused on him. It can be said that Empress Zhou’s life and death were all tied to him.

The hall was silent and the needle could be heard, waiting for Su Chen's diagnosis.

If he said he was helpless at this time, then Queen Zhou might have lived soon.

Peng Qingqing looked at Su Chen with her eyes, feeling that the pressure in the hall made it difficult to breathe, but she saw Su Chen standing upright as a mountain, carrying such a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, without any panic, and her determination was very good.

Li Yu asked dryly: "Su Chen, the Queen's disease...what is it? Can you cure it?"

Su Chen hesitated and bowed, "Officials, queens, don't worry, Caomin has some clues to diagnose the disease. He needs to use a few decoctions to try clinically to remove the lesions bit by bit. As the saying goes, the disease comes like a mountain, and cures the disease is like a thread. This disease is too difficult to have a great effect and improvement after treatment. But Caomin believes that the Queen's condition will not continue to deteriorate after taking the medicine, and this can still be done."

"Is this really the case?" Li Yu was extremely surprised. Judging from Su Chen's words, he could really cure it.

Queen Zhou herself was also shocked. Unexpectedly, Su Chen could have a treatment method for her terminal illness, which made her already desperate heart gradually restore some vitality and hope.
