Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Hu Bugui's shoulders shook slightly, and suppressed sobs could be heard faintly.

Hu Lingyun widened her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief.

In his memory, his father has always been the pillar of the family, the man who can always laugh and deal with any difficulties calmly.

But at this moment, his father was crying softly like a helpless child. This strong contrast made Hu Lingyun panic and at a loss.

He was stunned for a moment before he slowly stood up. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and gently patted Hu Bugui's shoulder, his voice filled with concern: "Dad, it's all over. From now on, everything will be fine."

The sound was particularly clear in the silent room.

Hu Bugui took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He raised his hand and wiped the tears running down his face with his rough palm.

"So, your father was determined to become a doctor in his life, hoping to do something for the poor people in the world who were struggling with illness."

"Back then, our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat, and your grandfather was suffering from that fatal disease."

"I watched him being tortured beyond recognition by the pain, rolling back and forth on the bed in pain, groaning non-stop, and I was helpless."

"At that time, I was thinking, if I knew medicine, maybe I could save your grandfather."

"But my family is poor. We don't have the money to support me in school, let alone studying medicine."

"Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he implemented a series of new policies, including the establishment of more schools, so that children from poor families like me could have the opportunity to learn to read and write."

“It was from then on that I had the possibility of studying medicine.”

"I studied desperately. When I got home at night, I lit a dim oil lamp and read medical books over and over again."

"Those days were tough, but I had hope in my heart. I thought I could become a good doctor and save more people."

Hu Bugui's tone was filled with relief, and he felt fortunate to have such an opportunity.

"Remember, your grandfather said when he was alive that a man should have backbone. In our Hu family, we should repay the kindness of others with a spring of gratitude."

"Your Majesty has given me the opportunity to change my fate. We must remember this favor."

Hu Bugui looked at Hu Lingyun seriously, his eyes full of expectation.

After saying that, Hu Bugui reached out and took the newspaper on the table that smelled of ink and stuffed it into Hu Lingyun's hand.

Hu Lingyun was still immersed in her father's words. She took the newspaper in a daze, unfolded it, and saw the big words "The Queen is Seriously Ill" on the headline, followed by a detailed description of the Queen's condition.

Hu Lingyun read it carefully and his face turned pale. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of astonishment, and his voice trembled a little: "Dad, are you saying that the Queen and my grandfather have the same disease? A tumor in her brain?"

Hu Bugui looked solemn and nodded seriously: "That's right."

"Dad? Are you serious? You really want to go to the palace to treat the Queen? But that's easier said than done!"

"If this tumor had grown on the outside, it could have been cut out directly with a knife, but it happened to be in the brain. Do you really want to open the Queen's head and take it out? If anything goes wrong, even if you and His Majesty have a teacher-student relationship, our family will be in great disaster and there will be no recovery!"

Hu Lingyun became more and more excited as she spoke, her face filled with anxiety, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Hu Bugui listened quietly, nodded slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "If we can open the skull and take out the tumor, that would be the best. Unfortunately, with current medical technology, it is far from being possible."

"When your father and I were in medical school, we opened up many Japanese brains to study brain diseases and carefully studied the structures and pathologies inside them."

"But even with the most careful surgery and stitches, almost no one survives."

"This also shows that the path of craniotomy to remove the tumor is currently not feasible."

“Because of the presence of bacteria.”

Hearing that Hu Bugui had actually tried this, Hu Lingyun became even more anxious. He clenched his fists and shouted, "Do you really want to open the Queen's head?"

"Do you know that if His Majesty heard what you said, he would be so angry that he would drag you out and chop you into pieces!"

Hu Bugui shook his head, his eyes revealing determination.

"Your Majesty is not one to be unreasonable. I'm simply saying that from a medical point of view, it would be ideal to be able to remove the tumor by opening the brain. However, current conditions do not allow this. No Japanese who have had their brains opened have survived, so this method is not feasible."

"I read in the newspaper that the Empress's condition seems to be just the same as when your grandfather first became ill."

"No matter what the disease is, as long as it is treated at the beginning, there is always a way to alleviate it."

"So, I want to go to the palace and try to see if I can alleviate the pain of the queen."

"Even if I can't cure you in the end, with my medical skills and years of experience, I can still extend your life for a few years. It can be regarded as my way of repaying your majesty for his kindness."

There was determination in Hu Bugui's voice.

Looking at Hu Bugui's determined look, Hu Lingyun could only shake her head helplessly.

He knew in his heart that treating the Empress was an extremely dangerous and thankless task.

If it was really so easy to cure, how could so many experienced and skilled doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau and Xianyang Medical College be helpless?

But now, his father insisted on trying it. What if something went wrong...

Hu Lingyun didn't dare to think further, her heart filled with worry.

In fact, Hu Bugui was still quite confident. He had been practicing medicine for many years and had seen all kinds of patients, and he had accumulated a lot of experience.

He once encountered a patient with similar symptoms. In order to delay the disease, he consulted a large number of ancient books and tried various methods. Finally, he used the medicine he prescribed to successfully help the patient extend his life for a full three years and effectively delay the growth of the tumor.

This time, he hoped that he could also create a miracle, relieve the Queen's pain, and live up to His Majesty's kindness.

"Tell your mother that Daddy is going to the palace, and tell her that she doesn't need to save any food for Daddy tonight."

Hu Lingyun became anxious when she heard Hu Bugui's words.

"Dad, are we going now?"

Hu Bugui nodded.

"The sooner the better. The Empress's illness cannot be delayed. Going sooner may help relieve the Empress's pain sooner."

Hearing Hu Bugui's words, Hu Lingyun gritted her teeth.

"Dad, I'll go with you!"

"Why are you going? You can't help."

Hu Bugui glanced at him.

"Brothers fight together, fathers and sons fight together. Even if I don't know medicine, I can still help you, Dad!"

Looking at Hu Lingyun's expression, Hu Bugui thought about it and finally nodded.

"Then you can go with Dad."
