Chapter 690 Check for Me
The sky gradually darkened, and thick dark clouds hung heavily over the sanatorium.
Inside the bedroom, the candlelight flickered, as if it would be extinguished at any moment by the oppressive atmosphere.
Hu Bugui stood beside the couch with a frown on his face. He racked his brains at this critical moment of life and death, but still couldn't think of any sure-fire solution.
But if he wanted to help a dying patient regain consciousness briefly, he knew some uncommon methods based on his years of medical experience. However, whether these methods would be effective really depended on luck, just like looking for a needle in a vast ocean, everything was full of unknowns.
He knew that people who were near death would often show signs of last-minute lucidity due to intense pain stimulation.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Bugui tried to calm himself down, and slowly reached out to pick up the silver needle that had been prepared on the table beside him.
"There are seven special acupuncture points on the human body. When a needle is inserted into one of them, it causes excruciating pain."
Hu Bugui murmured in a low voice, his voice solemn.
He raised his eyes to look at Li Mingda, who was dying on the couch. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, without any blood. The breath of life was slipping away from her body bit by bit, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Hu Bugui approached slowly, each step heavy. His hands trembled slightly, yet with the firmness of a doctor.
When the first silver needle slowly pierced into Li Mingda's acupuncture point, her lifeless brows moved slightly, as if disturbed by the sudden pain. Then the second and third needles fell, and Li Mingda's fingers twitched slightly.
As the fourth needle landed steadily, Li Mingda's eyes, which had been tightly closed for a long time, finally opened slowly. Her eyes were hazy and confused.
As soon as she opened her eyes, what she saw was Li Chengqian's haggard and sorrowful face. Li Chengqian's eyes were sunken and his eyes were full of reluctance. There was also Li Jiming, who was looking sad, with her lips tightly pursed and her face full of worry.
Li Mingda felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he was so weak that he couldn't even lift a finger.
She looked at Li Chengqian quietly, her lips trembling slightly. Several times she seemed to want to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian's eyes instantly turned red and bloodshot. He hurriedly held Li Mingda's hands tightly. His hands were rough but warm.
Li Chengqian stared deeply into her eyes, wanting to engrave her appearance into his heart.
"I know, big brother knows everything. Sizi, don't worry, with big brother here, you don't have to be afraid of anything or worry about anything."
Li Chengqian's voice was choked with sobs, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, with tears in his voice, "When you see Father, the Emperor, and Mother, please say hello to them on behalf of Big Brother and me, and tell them that we all miss them very much."
Li Chengqian's tears rolled down uncontrollably and dripped onto Li Mingda's hand, which was burning hot.
"Sizi, Sizi..."
He kept calling out, his voice getting lower and lower, his emotions completely breaking down.
After hearing Li Chengqian's words, a faint smile finally appeared on Li Mingda's pale face, with relief.
She used up all her remaining strength, opened her lips slightly, and said softly to Li Chengqian, "Brother..."
The voice was as weak as a mosquito or fly, but it hit Li Chengqian and Li Jiming's hearts hard.
Then, she slowly closed her eyes, and the hand that was originally gently holding Li Chengqian also drooped down weakly, completely motionless.
"Sizi! Big Sizi!"
Li Jiming shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of reluctance, as if he wanted to vent all the sorrow in his heart.
Li Chengqian held Li Mingda's hand and stared blankly at her closed eyes. He seemed to have lost his soul and could no longer bear the heavy blow, so he fell straight down.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The people around exclaimed in surprise, and the scene instantly became chaotic. They surrounded Li Chengqian and shouted, and the bedroom was in a panic.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Li Chengqian woke up again, it was already a day later.
The sunlight shines into the house through the window, but it cannot dispel the sadness that fills the room.
Li Mingda's body was quietly placed in the place where Li Shimin was originally placed. It was arranged solemnly and dignified, and was surrounded by white paper flowers, adding a bit of sadness.
Hu Bugui has been taking care of Li Chengqian wholeheartedly, never taking off his clothes and always paying attention to his condition.
He stood by the bed, his eyes filled with worry.
Li Jiming was also waiting by the side with a tired look on her face. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was haggard.
Seeing that Li Chengqian had woken up, Hu Bugui immediately walked quickly to the side and gently wiped Li Chengqian's face with a hot towel that he had prepared long ago.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"
Hu Bugui asked softly, concern in his voice.
Li Chengqian nodded slowly. He forced himself to sit up, his face still showing signs of fatigue and his eyes were filled with deep loneliness.
"much better."
His voice was hoarse and revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.
Li Jiming saw that Li Chengqian had woken up and hurried over.
"Brother, are you hungry? I'll make you some vegetable porridge."
There was caution in her voice.
Li Chengqian nodded again after hearing what Li Jiming said. "Go ahead, Ayuan. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Chengqian looked at Hu Bugui and forced a smile, but that smile was filled with endless bitterness.
"Don't come back, go and ask Xianhuai to come in."
Li Chengqian spoke slowly, Hu Bugui nodded, turned around and quickly called in Zhang Xianhuai who was guarding the door.
Zhang Xianhuai also looked haggard. He had been guarding outside the door, constantly worried about the safety of His Majesty, and looked tired.
Seeing Zhang Xianhuai, Li Chengqian finally felt relieved.
"You two are here, I want to ask you something."
Li Chengqian's expression turned serious, his eyes sharp and inquiring.
"Do you think Princess Jinyang's death could have been caused by someone?"
"Bugui, you studied medicine. Tell me, was Princess Jinyang's illness really a sudden death? Have you ever seen such a rapid and severe illness in your many years of medical practice?"
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Hu Bugui frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and slowly shook his head.
He actually had some guesses in his mind, but these guesses were too shocking, so he really didn't dare to say them out loud.
"Your Majesty, I have thought about this disease again and again, searched through medical books, and discussed it repeatedly with my colleagues. I have never seen such a disease before."
Hu Bugui's voice was low, with a hint of doubt.
"I have some guesses in my mind, but I really don't dare to tell Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, you actually brought it up. In my opinion, Princess Jinyang may have been poisoned. Moreover, judging by the symptoms, it doesn't seem like an oral poison."
He paused, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made a great decision. "I would like to perform an autopsy. Perhaps I can find some clues from the body."
"Autopsy..."
Li Chengqian was silent, with a conflicted look on his face.
Autopsies are an extremely serious matter for members of the royal family, and any carelessness may undermine the dignity of the deceased.
But considering that Li Mingda's death was so strange, how could he easily let go of any opportunity to find out the truth.
In the end, he nodded heavily.
"No, you go and examine her, but you must ensure that Princess Jinyang is properly honored and there cannot be the slightest disrespect."
"All ceremonies must be thorough and she must not suffer any injustice."
Li Chengqian looked at Hu Bugui.
"Xian Huai, regardless of whether Princess Jinyang was poisoned or not, you must investigate thoroughly. Investigate every person who has entered and exited Qinghua Pavilion in the past few days. Don't miss a single one. Investigate everything for me."
“No detail can be overlooked.”
