Chapter 649 2 Finger
Hu Bugui felt as if a thorn was on his back, as if every one of his thoughts was seen through by the other party.
He secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that he could not avoid this question after all. After a mental struggle, he finally gave in.
He sighed helplessly, as if endless sorrow was piling up in his chest.
"Teacher Qi, there are some things that I really don't know where to start or how to say them out loud."
He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look Mr. Qi in the eye.
"Your Majesty's main problem right now is not this wind disease at all."
"Although this wind disease is troublesome and requires constant caution, it is ultimately a chronic condition. As long as you can pay attention to controlling your emotions on a daily basis and avoid excessive fluctuations, generally speaking, there won't be any major problems."
Hu Bugui paused slightly, a look of worry in his eyes, as if he was carefully choosing his words. He then continued slowly, "As long as you pay more attention to daily maintenance, take medicine on time, and regulate your diet, even in old age, this rheumatism will not recur frequently and will not pose a serious threat to Your Majesty's health."
"But now, Your Majesty's real problem is..."
Hu Bugui's expression became more solemn, and his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees, as if he was afraid that someone could hear him. "The essence is lost."
"Loss of essence?"
In his long life, the loss of this essence did not seem to be a big deal.
"Is this serious?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Hu Bugui nodded heavily at first, but then shook his head slowly. This ambiguous action made Mr. Qi's heart even more anxious.
"Strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy, that's what I'm talking about. Although it's basic, the basics are very important."
Hu Bugui explained, gesturing with his hands as he spoke, trying to help Mr. Qi better understand. "Normally, this situation isn't particularly serious. You just need to ensure adequate nutrition intake, and your body will slowly recover."
He paused slightly, his expression growing increasingly serious. "But the extent of your Majesty's loss of essence is truly too alarming, so much so that it's frightening."
When Mr. Qi heard Hu Bugui's description, his originally calm expression instantly became serious.
In his heart, everything can be lost, even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, and the mountains and rivers are broken, but Your Majesty must not be lost.
Your Majesty is the backbone of this country, the hope of the people, and the belief that he has followed throughout his life.
"Just tell me directly and clearly, if Your Majesty continues to be like this, how long will His Majesty live?"
Mr. Qi's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees. He took a step forward and stared at Hu Bugui, hoping to get a more optimistic answer.
Hu Bugui looked at Mr. Qi's anxious expression, and felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He was silent for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he slowly raised two fingers.
"Two years?"
Mr. Qi's brows were instantly furrowed into a knot, and there was a hint of shock in his voice that was hard to conceal.
"Only two years left? What if I take good care of Your Majesty's health? Will the situation improve?"
The flame of hope rekindled in his eyes and he stared at Hu Bugui closely.
Hu Bugui looked at Mr. Qi, his heart filled with pity, and finally he sighed helplessly.
"Teacher Qi, I don't want to lie to you. I didn't say two years. I said..."
His voice trembled slightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength to spit out the last few words, which hit Mr. Qi's heart hard. "Two months."
Mr. Qi, who had been trying to remain calm and composed, was struck by a bolt from the blue when he heard these words.
In an instant, he felt as if all the blood in his body had solidified, and cold sweat broke out uncontrollably, instantly soaking his collar.
He looked at Hu Bugui in disbelief, his voice filled with fear.
This was the first time Hu Bugui saw Mr. Qi act so out of control.
"Bugui, do you know what you're talking about? His Majesty is in the prime of life, only forty years old. He's at the peak of his life. He can even draw a crossbow on a normal day, demonstrating extraordinary physical strength. How can he only have two months to live? Did you see it wrong? Is there a misdiagnosis?"
He asked with a hint of luck in his words.
Hu Bugui shook his head slowly.
"Teacher Qi, take a closer look at His Majesty's white hair. How can he look like a forty-year-old?"
"Sixty years old wouldn't be an exaggeration."
"Your Majesty usually only sleeps once every two days. To work so hard day and night for so long, even a body of iron could not endure this?"
He paused slightly, took a deep breath, and calmed his excited emotions.
"Plus, Your Majesty suffers from rheumatism, and his physical condition is not as good as that of an average person. He is also extremely frugal with his food, never wasting anything, so his nutritional needs are simply insufficient."
His eyes were slightly red. "Teacher Qi, don't you realize that His Majesty has become so old? His Majesty is only forty years old!"
After hearing Hu Bugui's reminder, Mr. Qi finally woke up from his dream.
Only then did he realize in shock that His Majesty had become so old since he didn't know when.
His once thick black hair is now covered with a few silver strands, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are becoming more and more obvious, and the sharpness in his eyes has gradually been replaced by fatigue.
It was precisely because he met His Majesty every day and spent time with him every day, and they were too familiar with each other, that he did not notice these subtle changes in time.
"Bugui, tell me, if you give it your all, how long can His Majesty last?"
Mr. Qi grabbed Hu Bugui's arm.
Speaking of this, this is exactly the question that Hu Bugui has been thinking about.
"Teacher Qi, Your Majesty cannot continue to work so hard on government affairs. Dealing with such numerous and complex government affairs and dealing with countless matters every day will only make Your Majesty more exhausted and deplete his vitality."
He looked serious and spoke sincerely.
"If Your Majesty can calm down, no longer burdened by government affairs, and rest in peace, and if you can slowly strengthen your body with the medicine, and as long as Your Majesty actively cooperates, takes medicine on time, and eats a healthy diet, I think it is possible to survive for five years or even longer."
"Your Majesty has a good foundation and a strong physique, but it has been severely weakened. As long as Your Majesty is willing to stop and recuperate, I believe Your Majesty will recover quickly."
"But..." Hu Bugui suddenly changed the subject, his expression darkening again. He sighed helplessly, looking incredibly dejected. "Your Majesty is so deeply concerned with state affairs and the people, and personally handles everything. How could he be willing to stop and rest?"
