Chapter: 3717

These Western dignitaries and nobles also enjoy the benefits of all sorts of advantages offered by Western modern medicine.

Their doctors are almost all top-notch experts in the field of Western medicine, providing them with the latest, best, and most expensive medicines available in the West.

It was precisely because they had enjoyed too many benefits, so their basic understanding of Western medicine was extremely deep and clear.

Suddenly, upon hearing the empress speak in person, a kind of Eastern divine medicine that only required one-fourth of a pill could bring her back to life, and even the doctor said he could live at least five more years. Everyone's first thought was that this was too absurd, almost unbelievable.

However, seeing the empress standing healthy before them, people in their hearts had doubts about themselves.

"Can it be... that Eastern divine medicine is really so miraculous?"

After all, when the empress fell ill initially, they all learned through their own channels the specific condition of her illness and knew that her illness was already hopeless and impossible to overcome under Western medicine's foundation.

But now, the empress is standing healthy before them, which is the best proof that she has not lied.

The Duke of Philip asked curiously, "Your Majesty, I would like to know what kind of disease this sort of elixir can treat."

The empress spoke seriously, "Philip, elixir is a divine medicine. Since it's a divine medicine, of course it can cure any disease. Just like the Bible says, holy water can wash away all evil."

The Duke of Philip said awkwardly, "But... but this logic isn't scientific... We all know that most medicines in modern medicine are specialized and treat specific symptoms, and some medicines can treat multiple diseases, just like the aspirin called 'omnipotent' medicine. However, even aspirin cannot cure all diseases..."

The Duke of Philip's words sparked a chorus of agreement from others.

Because they had their own understanding, it was impossible for there to be a medicine that could cure all diseases. Generally speaking, those who can make such claims are either holy men or charlatans.

The empress smiled slightly as she faced the Duke of Philip's questioning and said in a tone as if nothing was wrong: "Philip, I know you believe in science and modern medicine, and I used to be just like you."

As she spoke, the empress sighed deeply, lamenting: "You know how much pain I suffered during my illness? Everyone thought I had lost consciousness completely and was in a coma. Even our royal medical team with the best equipment gave the same result. But do you know what? I actually never fainted at all!"

The crowd heard this and were shocked beyond words!

The Duke of Philip was stunned too, and after a moment, he exclaimed: "You... You didn't faint? But we received news that you had been in a coma for several days already, so... apologize, Your Majesty, I don't understand your meaning..."

The empress said seriously: "Let me explain. The outside world thinks my body has no reaction at all because it's as if my consciousness has completely left my brain. My consciousness is still functioning normally inside my brain! I can think, remember, and hear the sounds around me, but I'm unable to control any part of my body, not even opening my eyes..."

As she said this, the empress looked terrified: "That feeling is worse than being in hell... it's like having no way out and being helpless and suffering..."

The people surrounding her heard this and their faces were filled with fear.

They had never thought about what might happen to them when they got sick or critically ill and eventually gave up their lives.

But they had never thought that, before death, one would experience such loneliness and pain.

"So, you're saying that I could have been in this state for many years, even decades, without anyone knowing?"

The people surrounding her were stunned into silence.

Philip was also shocked, his eyes wide with terror: "So, it means that those vegetative patients we thought had died are actually still conscious and alive, possibly living for several years or even decades in their own bodies..." JrNovels.com
