Liang Chongyue frowned slightly, and everyone in the hall fell into a long silence.

Liang Chongyue remained expressionless, but in fact he was already communicating with the system:

"Puppy, maybe you can sense how serious Aunt Rong's illness is?"

The system was tasting the big bones that had just been delivered from the kitchen in the host's hall. Ever since it told the host that the main god had been punished, the host had not asked it to do anything for a long time.

As soon as it heard the host's order, it immediately put down the bone in its mouth and stood up alertly.

"Host, wait a moment. Let me sense it."

As soon as the system finished speaking, Liang Chongyue could feel an electric current passing from his brain to his hands.

It's not stinging, but it's not uncomfortable either.

Fortunately, the electric current disappeared quickly, and then the system recovery sound was heard.

"Host, this aunt has tuberculosis. This disease is impossible to cure in this era, and there is no powerful medicine to treat it. We can only relieve their symptoms and pain."

Liang Chongyue sensed what the system said, but she had previously thought it was just pneumonia and had not expected it to be so serious.

"But there are medicines in the mall that can treat it, and the price is not expensive. Host, would you like to have a course of treatment? I just looked through the instructions, and it says that one course of treatment will cure it."

The system is so considerate and can prepare everything for her early without her having to say much.

"Buy two courses of treatment and put them in my backpack."

Liang Chongyue thought of Li Yu'an, the tuberculosis patient. He had the same disease before. He wondered where he got the treatment. It was not easy for him to live to this day.

In the past, she didn't want to reveal too much, so she ignored him. Now that Li Yu'an has a stable position in the court, and she has rescued Princess Guangling, if she doesn't care about him, she doesn't know how long he will pester her.

"Got it, host. It's already been prepared and placed in your backpack. You can use it anytime."

The system's voice rang in his mind. Liang Chongyue praised it, then hung up the connection after hearing its giggle.

"Chongyue."

The Queen Mother's voice sounded at this moment, and Liang Chongyue was shocked to realize that she had been holding Aunt Rong's hand for some time.

Liang Chongyue let go of Aunt Rong's hand and heard her mother's voice behind her.

"Do you have any idea?"

Liang Chongyue knew what his mother was talking about. Over the years, the health-preserving and essence-strengthening pills he gave to his scumbag father and his mother were all real and their effects could be felt. Not to mention, he had just given his mother a pill that could inoculate her from all poisons a few days ago.

The Queen Mother and Aunt Rong are of the same age. Aunt Rong wears a veil on her face, but the crow's feet and spots at the corners of her eyes cannot be covered.

This must be due to the disease, but time is unforgiving. In comparison, there is now a gap between the two once peerless beauties.

Facing her mother's question, Liang Chongyue lowered her head and remained silent for a moment. In the eyes of others, this was a tacit admission that Aunt Rong's illness was incurable. Only she knew that she had almost torn the instructions for that course of treatment to pieces.

If possible, she would definitely want to save more than just Aunt Rong. If she saves her today, the news that she can cure tuberculosis will spread tomorrow.

There are rich and poor people who suffer from this disease. The poor will only sigh a few times, realize that the medicine is too expensive, and give up on their own initiative.

However, there are many nobles in the capital, most of whom are royal relatives and noble families. If the pillar of the family gets this disease, they will sell their property and spend any amount of money just to buy a medicine to save their family's life.

"Host, please stop looking. This treatment doesn't just use Chinese medicine..."

The system's voice sounded at this time, and Liang Chongyue stopped flipping through the pages.

The system didn't say anything else, but she also understood that the reason why tuberculosis is incurable in this era is ultimately due to the technical barriers.

Isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol... Liang Chongyue's eyes swept over these ingredients. These things were not something she could make in a short time. She had the heart to save the people of the world, but she did not have the ability to do so.

A hint of sadness appeared on Liang Chongyue's face. The next second, a thin hand patted her hand. Liang Chongyue looked up and saw Aunt Rong's eyes full of a relieved smile:

"I've been sick for three years now. I've been taking those bitter medicines every day. I take more medicine than I eat. Auntie has been prepared for this. Chongyue, don't worry. Everyone has this day. Auntie just passed away earlier."

When Aunt Rong said this, there was no sadness in her tone. Only when she looked at He Yanting standing beside her, her eyes were full of reluctance:

"The person I can't let go of the most in my life is Yan Ting, he..."

"Don't worry about the children. They're all grown up now. Don't be too negative. Wait until the doctor comes to discuss anything."

Aunt Rong was interrupted by her mother before she could finish her words. Liang Chongyue was currently focusing on the efficacy of the medicine in that course of treatment and whether it would have any impact on Aunt Rong's health if used directly, and did not pay attention to these things.

He Ruanrong was interrupted by the Queen Mother. Even though they were close friends back then, she understood the Queen Mother's intentions.

When she was far away in Yunzhou, she heard that His Majesty had issued an edict that the Princess Zhenguo's marriage was up to her wishes and that His Majesty and the Empress would not interfere too much. She had thought that the news was simply misinformed due to the long distance and high mountains, but now it seemed to be true.

He Yanting has been staring at his mother since she started coughing. When he and his mother left home, his father repeatedly told him to take good care of her. He saw the guilt in his mother's eyes when she looked at him just now.

Princess Zhenguo is the brightest moon in the sky, a jewel that His Majesty and the Queen have cherished and raised in their hands. Even the most outstanding man in the world may not be worthy of her. He was prepared for this rejection.

Therefore, upon hearing the Queen's polite refusal, He Yanting followed the Queen's words and tried to appease his mother:

"Don't worry, mother. My son has grown up and can take care of himself. He will definitely find a cure for this disease for you. Mother, you can't give up so easily. Father is still waiting for us to come home."

When He Ruanrong heard her son mention her husband, tears instantly filled her eyes, but His Majesty's birthday was approaching, and she could not shed tears here.

"All of you, please go down. This princess has something to say to the Queen Mother. Aunt Rong is not an outsider, so please stay and listen. Yunling, please go out and wait. If the imperial physician arrives, please send him back."

Everyone in the Yiku Palace knew the Princess's abilities. When Her Highness said this, everyone understood and left after paying their respects.

Only the old servant who had always been following Aunt Rong stood there with his head down, unwilling to leave.
