Zhu Yuanzhang, who commanded the wind and rain, lived a long and arduous life.

"Grandpa, that's right."

"I obtained the divine medicine from my master!"

Zhu Xiong Ying laughed loudly.

Compared to the anxiety of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, his expression was much better.

He clearly trusted Zhu Changye.

"A miracle drug? Where is it? Let Grandpa take a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang urged him on.

Zhu Xiong Ying didn't keep him in suspense and immediately took back the pills that Zhu Chang Ye had given him.

Pill?

What kind of charlatan stuff is this?

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, but Empress Ma was seriously ill, so he dared not be careless and quickly summoned the imperial physician to take a look.

A royal physician stepped forward, picked up the pill from Zhu Xiong Ying's hand, smelled it, and frowned, saying, "Your Majesty, this... I cannot diagnose it either. I have never used pills to treat people in my medical practice."

"However, we physicians believe that good medicine tastes bitter, and good medicine often smells bad, but this elixir... smells so good..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiong Ying angrily retorted, "You are a physician from the mortal realm, how could you possibly understand my master's celestial methods?"

"And don't be so quick to deny it. If you had the ability to save my grandmother, would I need to seek help from my master?"

The imperial physician was speechless.

Lady Lü stepped forward: "Xiong Ying, how can you speak like that?"

"When you were seriously ill before, it was Physician Liu who took care of you and found prescriptions. Your grandmother did the same. Even if she didn't do anything special, she still worked hard. Can't you show her a little respect?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Zhu Xiong Ying seemed oblivious to Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and said urgently, "Auntie, I was wrong just now, but we really can't delay any longer. Let's quickly feed this pill to Grandma!"

Zhu Yunwen stepped forward: "Brother, don't be anxious. Rushing into treatment can easily lead to problems. How about... we get it checked out?"

Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes reddened: "Isn't it urgent? Grandma's condition is critical right now, every second counts. If we keep arguing, she might just pass away."

"If the time was delayed because of this wrangling, then you killed Grandma!"

"Xiong Ying, how dare you!" Madam Lü shouted shrilly.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly came out and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing and come in with us to take a look."

“Xiongying, since you’re sure the pill is effective, we have no other choice, but… this matter is still too fantastical, so let your grandmother make the decision.”

Zhu Xiong Ying was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial physicians all knelt down in worship.

"Your Majesty, more than a hundred imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have tried to save her, but the result is the same: Her Majesty's internal organs are exhausted, and there is really nothing that can be done to save her, unless... unless a celestial being descends to earth."

"Your Majesty, this elixir of unknown origin must be treated with caution."

"......."

The imperial physicians quickly intervened.

These kneeling imperial physicians are actually conflicted; they are afraid, but they also want to save face.

They didn't believe in that elixir; they didn't believe it from the bottom of their hearts.

but….

He was also worried that the pill might actually cure the empress.

Doesn't this mean they are incompetent?

The hundreds of imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty were no match for a single elixir that appeared out of nowhere.

At that time... how would His Majesty view them?

On the other hand, they hoped that the pill could really cure Empress Ma.

After all, they knew His Majesty's temper.

When His Majesty kills someone, most people believe that subjective intent plays a significant role, and no one can guarantee that they won't lose their own head.

If the Empress were to truly die, the other officials might not know, but the imperial physicians would certainly face certain death.

now.

Looking at the large group of kneeling imperial physicians, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a surge of anger rising within him: "A bunch of quacks, get out of here!"

"If you're blocking the way, I'll chop you all up in a minute!"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians trembled all over.

Even if they wanted to save face, they dared not risk their lives or mention the pill again.

The Zhu family members all flocked into Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his direct descendants were at the front, followed by other members of the Zhu family according to their rank.

"Girl, our whole family has come to see you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and helped Empress Ma up.

Empress Ma is still awake, but her complexion and breathing are several times weaker than they were two hours ago.

Even a passerby, upon seeing her face, would think she had one foot in the grave.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched and watched, and his heart ached more and more as he watched.

She used to be so energetic even when she was scolding and criticizing herself, but now she's like this...

Sometimes, when Empress Ma scolded him, Zhu Yuanzhang would talk back, insisting that he was right, and the two would argue.

quarrel….

Whether it's an imperial family or an ordinary family, it's a very unpleasant experience.

Now, he longs for Empress Ma to stand up again, even if they are arguing, it would be a kind of happiness.

"Zhongba, I...I think..."

"Girl, don't say anything. We've brought you a miracle drug, but we can't be sure of its effects."

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly interrupted.

They were afraid that Empress Ma would use her last bit of energy to speak before she breathed her last.

Empress Ma laughed it off when she heard this.

Miracle drug?

If there truly were a miraculous medicine, there would be no more illness in the world.

Emperors of all dynasties did not die so young.

I don't really care.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's next words cheered Empress Ma up.

"It was Xiong Ying who brought it to you."

Empress Ma raised her eyes: "Xiong Ying... Xiong Ying, this child, he's so thoughtful..."

"Chongba, give me the medicine to take."

"No matter what the outcome, just say that the medicine is very effective, but I... am too sick."

Empress Ma, who was nearly half-buried, was weak and powerless. She could only see Zhu Yuanzhang in her eyes, so she did not know that Zhu's descendants had entered, nor did she know that Zhu Xiong Ying was right next to her.

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly nodded, "Okay, okay..."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the elixir and slowly fed it to Empress Ma.

The pill entered his stomach.

Nothing happened.

However, Empress Ma peacefully closed her eyes.

"Girl, girl!!"

This terrified Zhu Yuanzhang, who shouted, "Imperial physicians! Where are the imperial physicians? Quickly bring those quacks in and let them examine the Empress!"

Chaos erupted inside the hall.

Zhu Xiong Ying had taken in the peaceful look on Empress Ma's face.

He had seen that look before; it was the appearance of a person on the verge of death.

"How could this be? Did the pills not work?"

"I...I also caused Grandma's death?"

Zhu Xiong Ying felt a sense of loss.

Although everyone knew that Empress Ma was doomed to die.

But she died from taking the elixir, which would become a nightmare that haunted Zhu Xiong Ying's mind.

He kept reminding me that he was the one who killed my grandmother!

"Xiongying, I've already said that you can't give your grandmother pills of unknown origin like this. Why won't you listen?"

Lady Lü looked heartbroken.

Zhu Xiong Ying looked lost and dejected: "Auntie, I...I..."

He didn't know what to say.

Madam Lü snorted coldly and said irritably, "Xiong Ying, you're giving your imperial grandmother some weird stuff with unknown medicinal properties? That's utterly unreasonable!"

"Xiongying, it was you who killed your imperial grandmother."
