Chapter 290
Chapter 290
A crowd of people filled with gloom, and a depressing atmosphere surrounds Fengluan Palace, the emperor and imperial physicians from Imperial Hospital were all there, as were several princes and princesses.
When Qin Jiu arrived, the emperor was impatiently dismissing all the concubines who had come to visit.
Gu Zhen the sixth prince, was also worried, his childish face was deeply furrowed as he said to Qin Jiu, "Empress mother is suffering from qi disease."
"......" Qin Jiu's eyes slightly widened. The so-called "qi disease" was also known as asthma, and this disease doesn't indiscriminate young or old, good thing was it could be cured slowly however complete recovery was difficult.
Du Ruo was aware of this, and calmly explained, "Young Miss, the empress has a qi disease, it tends to get worse every spring..." Du Ruo looked in the direction of the bedroom and said, "It's usually not too severe, and the people in Fengluan Palace are very careful every season."
Gu Zhen also looked in the direction of the bedroom while clenching his little fist tightly.
Qin Jiu's eyes slightly flickered when suddenly she remembered the original text of the plot.
In the original text, after the death of the sixth prince, Empress Wei once again experienced the pain of losing her son, drowned in sadness she also died within a few months. Empress Wei died in the spring, could it be because of qi disease?
At this time, the curtain of the door leading to the bedroom was lifted from the inside, and the head imperial physician and several imperial physicians came out.
A room full of people all looked at the imperial physicians, the head physician came forward to the emperor and reported, "Your Majesty, this physician administered needles to the Empress and has her take the pills, her condition has stabilized."

"I will write a prescription for the empress later. The empress can take it for three days and then let's see and observe."
The emperor, Gu Zhen, as well as other princes and princesses, were all relieved when they heard this, Qin Jiu on the side also heaved a sigh of relief.
Regaining his composure, the emperor asked You Bai, and the empress palace servants, "How did the empress suddenly suffer from the sudden illness?"
Empress Wei was allergic to dust, and magnolia pollen, so every spring the people who serve her were very careful every spring, making sure Empress Wei would not have the chance to have contact with these. Dust in the palace was all glued clean by the palace people, in addition, no magnolia flowers could be seen in the imperial garden.
The palace maid, You Bai's face was as pale as paper as she straightened her thought and said, "Your Majesty, this morning the empress went for a walk in the imperial garden as usual, and when she passed the Yuanxiang Water Pavilion, somehow, the empress suddenly coughed and had an attack."
The faces of the other palace servants all don't look good, and were a bit scared. The empress has been suffering from qi disease, but it was generally not serious. Basically, as long as they pay more attention to it, it would be all right. This time, the qi disease really came suddenly, which truly scared them.
At this time, Third Princess Changning asked with a worried look on her face, "Imperial Head Physician, is Imperial mother's illness serious? Is it very dangerous?" She tightly clutched her handkerchief in her hand as she asked.
The Imperial Head Physician glanced at the emperor and saw him gesturing for him to speak before he replied, "This attack on the Empress is more serious than last year, if it is repeated and the condition is not controlled, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to have another attack in the future...."
Qi disease could be mild or severe, the mild ones only experience shortness of breath, while the severe could even kill one's life which was rare.
The imperial head physician's head fell even lower, not daring to look at the emperor. After all, everyone knows that the emperor and the empress were deeply attached to each other.
The emperor deeply frowned.

The atmosphere in the main hall became even gloomier and too quiet, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
After a while, Third Princess Changning slightly open her lips once again, and was about to say something when the emperor faintly said, "Now that your imperial mother has rested, you should also retire."
The emperor dismissed several princes and princesses, and the main hall was half empty at once.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiu and Gu Zhen followed the emperor into the empress's bedroom.
Empress Wei had already woken up and was sitting with her back against a large red pillow, with the help of palace maids but her appearance still looked a bit weak, especially since her face was particularly pale.
"Empress Mother!"
Gu Zhen rushed to Empress Wei first and nervously held Empress Wei's slightly cold hands.
Empress Wei held Gu Zhen's small hand and said softly, "Zhen'er, empress mother is fine, don't worry." She then looked at the emperor and smiled, "This consort has worried the emperor."
The emperor sat down on the empress's couch and said with a smile, "It's good that you're okay."
Seeing that Empress Wei was in good spirits, Qin Jiu put her heart down and said, "Aunt, you have frightened me and my brothers, you should recuperate well these days."
The palace maid soon moved two brocade chairs for Qin Jiu and Gu Zhen to sit on.

Empress Wei drank two sips of warm tea served by You Bai, before she asked with concern, "Xiao Jiu, is your elder brother's leg injury better?"
After Qin Zening fell off his horse, the emperor once sent an imperial physician to look at his injury. At that time, the imperial physician said that Qin Zening's injury was not serious and that as long as he took good care of it, there would be no other problem, but it would take a month for him to recover.
This also meant that Qin Zening was bound to miss the selection for the five army battalions this time.
Every time she thought of this matter, Empress Wei feels aggrieved for her nephew. In comparison, Su Xiyang was only sentenced to one year of imprisonment which was really hateful and too cheap!
Qin Jiu was afraid that Empress Wei would get agitated, so she said with a smile, "Don't worry aunt, he is already alive and kicking. Yesterday, he accompanied A'Yu to practice archery while sitting on the chair and still beat A'Yu to pieces."
Hearing this, Empress Wei couldn't help but imagine Qin Zeyu's pitiful appearance and laugh, "A'Yu is still young, so tell your elder brother not to be too strict on him."
After talking for a while, Empress Wei also asked about the Qin family's separation.
In order to make the empress happy, Qin Jiu had to take a hasty and exaggeratedly recount of the happening as she deliberately focused on how Gu Zezhi managed to win 70% of her family property which made Empress Wei dumbstruck.
Seems like the uncertainty Empress Wei felt about this marriage in the past was gone. She was actually afraid that Gu Zezhi would look down on her niece but right now, she was completely relieved.
Indeed, it was the emperor's good insight that pointed out such good marriage for her Xiao Jiu!
With this thought, Empress Wei gave a wink to the emperor.
