Chapter 895 The Emperor Also Longed for Motherly Love
If He Yuanpan's medical skills are ranked second in the Imperial Medical Bureau, no one dares to claim to be first.
Because he spent most of his life studying medicine, he also had an obvious shortcoming.
That means I'm not that tactful.
Li Changde had already understood what the emperor really wanted to express, and He Yuanpan also believed that the emperor really cared about the health of Empress Dowager Liu.
But Li Changde couldn't remind him openly, otherwise he would have a lot of heads to chop off...
The judge of the Heyuan Court said seriously: "Your Majesty, the reason why those who are old and paralyzed in bed are prone to death is often because of the lack of effective treatment. If we can't even find the cause of paralysis, how can we talk about treatment and care?"
"Also, paralyzed elderly people are prone to bed sores and ulcers because they are bedridden for a long time. Once these occur, they are difficult to control effectively, which can lead to other untreatable diseases and endanger their lives."
"Or it may be that the care is difficult and the servants do not know how to properly turn the patient over, clean him, and so on, which results in long-term pressure on part of the patient's skin, poor blood circulation, and the formation of pressure sores."
"Once a pressure sore occurs, it will not only cause pain to the patient, but may also cause other diseases and aggravate the condition."
"Or elderly people who are paralyzed, have difficulty swallowing or have weakened spleen and stomach function, need a delicate diet. Once the daily meal intake cannot be guaranteed, the patient's body will become weak."
"Or elderly people who have been paralyzed and bedridden for a long time are prone to loneliness, which can lead to depression over time, further affecting their health..."
He Yuanpan is a medical geek, and he explains his expertise in every detail.
He was talking incessantly, but he didn't know that Nangong Xuanyu's mind at this moment was filled with all kinds of past events.
The previous emperor was lustful and incompetent, and had many children, with ten princes in the palace alone.
Compared to the precious prince born to the concubine, his biological mother was just a humble maid who died of dystocia when he was just born. The late emperor even forgot about them after a night of romance.
As a prince, his life in the palace was even worse than that of the favored palace maids, and he had been looked down upon since he was young.
It was not until he was adopted by Empress Dowager Liu that he became the legitimate son of the Empress, and his status changed drastically!
At that time, Nangong Xuanyu did not understand what power struggle was. He just thought that it was God's mercy that he finally had a mother!
At the beginning, Nangong Xuanyu regarded Queen Mother Liu as his biological mother and was full of admiration for her.
As long as he can make his mother happy and satisfied, he is willing to do anything!
When Nangong Xuanyu was young, he would get up before dawn every day and study despite feeling sleepy, and would not rest until late at night.
Even the always strict Master Zhuang had repeatedly advised him to take care of his health and not to ruin his body by studying too hard at such a young age.
But he really didn't want to disappoint his mother, so he still tried his best to make his father pay more attention to him when he tested him on academic matters.
This will make the Queen Mother happy.
For him, his mother’s smile is the best reward!
But it seemed that no matter what he did, he could not satisfy his mother...
In Nangong Xuanyu's childhood memory, his mother had never smiled at him.
Even though he had won the praise of his father, his mother only told him coldly not to get carried away. He had to be the best in both civil and military tactics to defeat all the princes and become the emperor's most satisfied son!
But if he did something that did not satisfy his mother, he would be beaten with a cane, forced to kneel, and starved...
It was not until he was crowned king and crown prince by the late emperor that his mother looked at him with increasing satisfaction.
But by then Nangong Xuanyu had already understood that what made his mother satisfied was not him, but the glory and honor he could bring.
After he officially entered the Eastern Palace, his mother's attitude towards him finally underwent subtle changes.
She no longer scolded him coldly, but only encouraged him to work hard and make progress. Instead, she became like a loving mother, caring about him.
This was what Nangong Xuanyu desired most when he was young.
But he has grown up...
Those years also made Nangong Xuanyu see clearly that his mother had no maternal love for him and only regarded him as a tool for fighting for power.
From then on, he no longer longed for Empress Dowager Liu's love, and the mother and son gradually drifted apart...
In the years that followed,
Nangong Xuanyu slowly grew into a true emperor, rational, calm and suspicious.
He will no longer trust anyone easily, nor will he desire anyone's love anymore.
Even after ascending the throne, he sensed the ambitions of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. The emperor also had great ambitions in his heart, to do what countless emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not done. To remove the powerful and treacherous, weaken the power of the aristocratic families, concentrate the imperial power, and unify the world!
Because of their childhood affection, he never thought of killing Empress Dowager Liu. After getting rid of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, he would also let her enjoy her old age in the Cining Palace.
But Empress Dowager Liu should never, ever touch his bottom line again and again!
The Sixth Prince is his own flesh and blood, and Nian Nian is the one he loves.
But out of her own selfish desires, Empress Dowager Liu actually wanted to eliminate them all!
She and Duke Dingguo wanted to let the heir raised by the women in the Liu family camp ascend the throne, and then use the emperor to control the princes and completely dominate the court!
For this purpose, did Empress Dowager Liu want to eliminate all his sons except the third prince? !
If that day really comes, I'm afraid she will not show mercy when she attacks him.
Since you can no longer endure it, there is no need to endure it anymore!
The judge of the Heyuan Court had no idea what the emperor was thinking, and he continued to report seriously and rigorously: "... Combining the above reasons, your majesty should understand why those paralyzed elderly people do not live long."
"The Queen Mother has the best doctor in the Great Zhou treating her. She is receiving the best care. Those situations will not happen to the Queen Mother..."
As He Yuanpan was talking, he found that the emperor's eyes were looking at him more and more coldly...
At this moment, He Yuanpan inexplicably felt a chill on his back.
Suddenly, there was a click in his mind, and he seemed to finally understand something!
Could it be that... Could it be that His Majesty's purpose is not to inquire about the true situation of the Queen Mother, but, but...
He Yuanpan simply didn't dare to think any further!
He used all his intelligence when studying medicine and finally figured it out.
Yes!
Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are not biological mother and son.
Besides, everyone knows that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is extremely powerful.
Could it be that Your Majesty really meant what he thought?
He Yuanpan didn't dare to speak out rashly, so he could only cautiously test: "Of course, what I just said is just an ideal situation."
"The Empress Dowager's health is not as optimistic as I thought..."
