Chapter 544: Complicated Condition
Ji Yuntang looked into Yuan Chao's clear and clean eyes, which were as bright and clear as the morning dewdrops.
She instantly understood why Xie Liuzheng had that reaction when she saw Yuan Chao.
There was no anger out on him, nor was there any harm to him, and sympathy for him was evident between the lines.
Because the Yuan Dynasty was really different from the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master.
Perhaps because he didn't live with them, he looked like a child who was ignorant of the world, naive and simple-minded.
It's really hard not to sympathize with such a person.
Ji Yuntang stepped forward and deliberately slowed down his voice, "Master Yuan, can I help you take your pulse?"
Yuan Chao looked at her, neither agreeing nor refusing, but also unmoved.
Ji Yuntang sighed in her heart. She could see Yuan Chao’s inner defense. He probably thought she was in cahoots with Queen Dowager Yuan!
She had no choice but to use her trump card, a vanilla lollipop.
"Let me feel your pulse, and I'll give you this candy, okay?"
When Yuan Chao saw the lollipop, his eyes lit up instantly.
He could see that the lollipop in Ji Yuntang's hand was exactly the same as the one Xie Liuzheng had given him before.
No one knew that in his heart, he had already regarded Xie Liuzheng as his first friend.
When he saw the lollipop, he felt very familiar with it.
Yuan Chao nodded slightly and agreed, "Okay."
Ji Yuntang began to take his pulse. When her fingertips rested on the boy's pulse, her heart sank to the bottom.
Yuan Chao's illness was more serious than she had imagined. He had congenital heart disease, heart malformation, tricuspid valve regurgitation, and pulmonary congestion, and was at risk of heart failure at any time.
However, because he had been taking medicine for a long time, it had a serious impact on his kidneys. A lot of toxins accumulated in his kidneys and could not be eliminated, and his body had reached a point where it could not be overwhelmed.
After Ji Yuntang withdrew his hand, he asked Yuan Chao, "Mr. Yuan, do you often have difficulty breathing and your hands and feet are swollen?"
Yuan Chao pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "It's like this, I usually feel better in the morning and worse at night, and my face is also very swollen."
Ji Yuntang knew very well that in this situation, surgery was necessary, otherwise it could not be cured at all.
If you delay any further, your life will be in danger, and even gods won’t be able to save you.
Before Ji Yuntang could figure out how to explain this illness, Empress Dowager Yuan immediately asked: "Doctor Yun, what's going on with my nephew's hair?"
The corner of Ji Yuntang's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.
It’s already this time, and the old witch is still concerned about Yuan Chao’s hair!
Doesn't she know that her son's life is almost gone?
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang said: "Empress Dowager, it's not a big deal that Master Yuan's hair is gone. It will grow back after a while."
"The most serious problems right now are his heart and kidney problems. This is more complicated and requires surgery to open his chest. But surgery cannot be done whenever you want. It still requires examination and medical evaluation."
When she said this, she glanced at Yuan Chao, intending to help him awaken the conscience of Empress Dowager Yuan.
Ji Yuntang said: "Empress Dowager, forgive me for being blunt, but Master Yuan is now only suitable to find a quiet place to recuperate. He must not work too hard, and must not be stimulated in any way, because fatigue and stimulation can put his life in danger at any time."
"If you really want to do good for him, you should respect his wishes instead of forcing him to do things against his will."
What he meant was that Empress Dowager Yuan should send Yuan Chao out of the palace and give up on making him the crown prince.
The palace was not a suitable place for him to live in, let alone to recuperate.
Secondly, Ji Yuntang also thought that after all the people from the five noble families arrived, they might directly start a fight with Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master in the palace.
If Yuan Chao saw this kind of scene, it would only make his condition worse.
Sending the Yuan Dynasty away now will only benefit him and not harm him.
But the Imperial Master didn't think so. He felt that Ji Yuntang was deliberately trying to sow discord among their family of three.
The imperial physicians of the Yuan Dynasty have been treating the disease for so many years, and the disease has always been maintained by taking medicine. How could it be as serious as she said?
Furthermore, Yuan Chao and others will attend the ceremony of establishing the crown prince. If others are not there, how can the ceremony of establishing Chu be carried out?
Thinking of this, the Imperial Master was furious and scolded: "How dare you, a mere female doctor like you, teach the Queen Mother how to do things?"
"If you can't cure it, just say so. We can always seek help from someone else. Why are you saying irrelevant things here and trying to sow discord between the Queen Mother and Master Yuan?"
Ji Yuntang really wanted to raise his hand and slap the Imperial Master.
It would be unlucky for the Yuan Dynasty to have met such a father.
The national teacher only cares about power and desire, and doesn't care about his son's health at all.
She snorted coldly and said calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, what I said is the truth."
"I am a doctor, I will be responsible for what I said, but if the Queen Mother does not trust me, then please ask another doctor to treat Master Yuan. I will take my leave first!"
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Queen Mother Yuan frowned. She had to admit that Ji Yuntang's words just now made her feel a little worried.
She loved the imperial power, but she was more concerned about Yuan Chao's health. After all, she only had this one son.
What if it is true as Ji Yuntang said, that Yuan Chao was stimulated and his life was in danger?
As if he saw the hesitation in Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes, the Imperial Master's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, could it be that Empress Dowager Yuan believed what that wild girl just said?
Thinking of this, he quickly pulled Queen Mother Yuan to a deserted place and said to her: "Cousin, don't listen to that wild girl. She is just talking nonsense."
"Although Chao'er's health is not good, he has taken so many medicines to strengthen his body over the years, so it must have had some effect. We haven't been with him for these years, but he is still alive and well, right?"
Empress Dowager Yuan still had some hesitation on her face, "Cousin, but..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the national teacher, who said in a tough tone, "No buts."
"Cousin, think about it carefully. We have been working hard for this day for seventeen years. How much effort have you and I put in during this period?"
"For you and your son, I jumped off a cliff and faked my own death, which disfigured me. I still cruelly abandoned my parents, my wife, and my two children. I haven't been back to see them for more than a decade, just because I was afraid that you would feel bad about it."
"In order to be able to stay by your side and help you with your plans, I even kidnapped the Lingxi man who came down the mountain and even used the forbidden witchcraft technique to swap his face with him."
"For you and our son, my hands are stained with blood over the years. Have you ever thought about it, cousin?"
