Chapter 923: Acupuncture
Bai Zhi sighed and said to the emperor: “The emperor, the empress dowager had a second stroke, and is in a critical condition. I will give her acupuncture treatment. However, even if I can save her life, I’m afraid she will not be able to recover.” The emperor frowned: “She also had a stroke last time, but she recovered quite well. So why can’t she this time?” As he said, his eyes fell on Bai Zhi’s hand, “You don’t want to miss a big thing just because of some small resentment, do you?” Bai Zhi’s heart suddenly sank. No wonder Hu Feng was so dissatisfied with his father. His suspicion disease was so serious. Bai Zhi said: “The emperor, this young lady only has a little knowledge in medicine. I am not a miracle daughter. This young lady will do her best to treat the empress dowager. If the emperor doesn’t trust this young lady, you can send people to assist in the whole process.” When the emperor saw that her face was not worried, he was also upset. But after thinking about it, she was from the Dongfang family. It was natural to have the same virtue as Dongfang Mu. “Whatever you want!” The emperor got up and stepped aside. Bai Zhi said: “I would like to ask Imperial Doctor Xu and Imperial Doctor Zhong for assistance, is that alright?” The two hurriedly got up and approached, while the other imperial physicians withdrew to the outside of the hall. The palace maid stepped forward to remove the empress dowager’s clothes, leaving only thin inner clothes. If it weren’t for the presence of two male imperial doctors, she would like to remove them all. Seeing that the palace maid would not take off the rest, she didn’t force it. She took the needle and pricked the acupoint. She was very familiar with acupoints. As long as she touched it with her hands, she could stab the acupoints even with her eyes closed, or even if the patient was wearing a thin layer of clothes. Bai Zhi moved very fast and accurately. The needles were all stuck on the empress dowager’s main acupoints. This acupuncture treatment method she used was not something special. Even the two imperial doctors behind her could perform it. At this point, there was really no way to save the empress dowager. Even if she uses the Niuhuang Pill it wouldn’t change anything. She could only do something. The two imperial doctors knew this in their hearts, so they didn’t say anything. After the acupuncture treatment, the empress dowager’s breath became stable. Bai Zhi took the needle and withdrew to the side. The skin on the back of her hand was aching. “How is it?” The emperor didn’t look at Bai Zhi but looked at Imperial Doctor Xu. Compared to Bai Zhi, he naturally believed in him. Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Answering back the emperor, the empress dowager’s pulse stabilized a bit. Her life is not in danger. It’s just—” Imperial Doctor Xu glanced at Bai Zhi and saw her bowing her head. She didn’t want to speak, so he continued: “It’s just that when the empress dowager wakes up, I’m afraid that her speech will be slurred and her body will be numb.” Most elderly people who had a stroke will have this condition. Before the previous emperor died, wasn’t he in the same situation? But they didn’t expect the empress dowager will also experience the same. Thinking of this, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Bai Zhi. The looked in her eyes was complicated. He couldn’t tell what he felt like. Bai Zhi didn’t raise his eyes, just pretending not to see him. Since Bai Zhi appeared in front of them, the palace didn’t have a peaceful day even for a day. Could it be that her eight characters were at odds with their Chu family? The emperor stayed silent for a while and said: “From now on, the three of you will be responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of the Empress Dowager’s disease. You must do your best to cure the empress dowager.” Bai Zhi sneered inside her heart: Since you don’t believe me, and quite dissatisfied with me, why do you want me to treat your mother? If she is cured, it’s only a natural event. But If not, it is my fault. Bai Zhi stepped forward and bowed to the emperor first, then slowly said: “The emperor, my grandfather has set a date for us to leave. We will go to the Qiyun Mountain at the end of the month. We will leave after my adoptive mother gets married. This young lady is afraid that she can’t serve the empress dowager. The emperor should choose another good doctor.” When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned. Dongfang Mu was about to leave, but he didn’t even discuss it with him. Is he blaming him?
