The royals had not been sick until then, but most of them had fallen ill this time. Especially the three older princes who worried Song Shenzong the most.

After some disinfection, the royal court entered the inner courtyard of the palace, in fact, the people in the palace were much more seriously ill than the outside, and it didn't matter if they were not disinfected.

Although the imperial doctors who came to see the disease had Yang Xianmao's prescription in their hands, under the control of the literati's inconsiderate mentality, more than half of the imperial doctors chose not to use Yang Xianmao's most effective prescription and used what they thought was an effective prescription for treatment. Some have adapted Yang Xianmao's prescription and increased or decreased according to their own understanding, and the representative of this aspect is the Wang Yuan Judgment.

Before that, after the royal court got Yang Xianmao's recipe, it was carefully reviewed, with a look of disdain. I always felt that Yang Xianmao's prescription was not so compatible, and some of the medicines were very unreasonable, so I adjusted them according to my own ideas, and then used these methods to treat the plague patients he saw, and a few were cured. Although the healing power is far inferior to Yang Xianmao's, only about half of Yang Xianmao's prescription, Wang Yuanju always believes that his prescription is accurate, mainly because several of the flavors of his prescription are borrowed from Yang Xianmao, so that the two prescriptions cannot match. If you follow your own recipe completely, the success rate will definitely reach 10%.

But what medicines should be used to form his own new prescription, the royal court judgment is really bottomless. Although he had been pondering, it was far more difficult than he had thought. And just when he had not yet fully formed his own prescription, a new crisis occurred in the inner courtyard of the palace, that is, he was going to heal the three little princes.

He used his own newly prepared recipe for Zhao Price and Zhao Wei, as well as Zhao Xu, the sixth prince who was most loved by Empress Dowager Gao, which he modified according to his own understanding on Yang Xianmao's recipe. Yang Xianmao's recipe has been changed to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and it is basically unrecognizable.

He had always wanted to use this new recipe after it was perfected, and now he was faced with a choice, that is, to follow Yang Xianmao's recipe or his own recipe?

After taking the medicine, it was almost dark, and the imperial doctor could not stay in the inner courtyard of the palace unless his condition was urgent. Therefore, he was sent out of the palace and returned to the Tai Hospital. Because he was worried about the safety of the three princes and the little princes, he did not leave too far and stayed in the hospital.

When I slept until the second half of the night, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and an anxious voice of a eunuch said outside: "The royal court judges, the official family told you to enter the palace immediately, and the two princes are dying." ”

The royal court judge couldn't help but be taken aback, and got up with a bone. opened the door and saw Gonggong Long, who was beside the emperor, and hurriedly asked, "Which two princes are not good?"

"It's the seventh prince and the eighth prince, only the sixth prince's condition has improved, and the other two princes are now out of breath and intake in less air, and they can't even feel their pulses, and their whole bodies are black. The official family and the Empress Dowager Gao are crying, telling you to hurry up. ”

The court judge was frightened, and his mind quickly thought about what to do. The two princes who used their own recipes were going to die, but Yang Xianmao's recipe was effective. It seems that the recipe in this little man still works, and he regrets why he tried his hand on the two princes at this time. But he had already thought about what to do if something went wrong, and now he just had to think carefully about how to deal with it on the road.

The two hurried to the inner courtyard of the palace and saw the two princes in the emperor's bedroom. Because the two princes are in critical condition, they have been transferred to the emperor's bedroom. Seeing the royal court judge coming, Song Shenzong asked sadly: "Imperial Doctor Wang, what's the matter with these two children, you hurry up and take a look, why is the medicine not as useful as their brother?"

Wang Yuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stepped forward to carefully check the pulse, and took a look. Sure enough, the two little princes are already as thin as a gossamer, and their lives are instantaneous. I cried out in my heart, but there is no regret medicine in this world, and I can only remedy it according to the previous plan.

So he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said to Song Shenzong and Empress Dowager Gao respectfully: "The official family, the Empress Dowager, Yang Xianmao's prescription is actually not very perfect, and the healing power is actually only six or seven percent. It was he himself who boasted that it could reach ninety percent, but in fact it was not so high. These days, when I was treated in the capital, there were also many patients who were seriously ill and died after taking his medicine, and there was no effect. According to the old estimates, the two princes should also belong to this situation. ”

The court didn't dare to say that he used his own prescription, but blamed Yang Xianmao's prescription for not reaching such a high healing power. This statement is actually very easy to reveal, because every prescription for the royal medical treatment, and every pair of medicines caught are filed in the Shang Pharmacy, and the prescriptions are kept by the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, so that when there is a problem in the future, the responsibility will be checked to see whether it is the problem of dispensing the decoction or the problem of the imperial doctor.

Therefore, the three prescriptions prescribed by the royal court are actually kept in Shang Pharmacy, and you will know as long as you check it. However, the royal court judged that the official family would not investigate this matter at this time, and he would believe his own words. At least for a short time, so give him a certain amount of time to do his tricks and see if there is a way to change the recipe. Of course, the backup of the medicine also has to be replaced, this is a matter for the future, and now the emperor is too busy to be busy, and he will not have time to check this matter, and now he can only hope for this.

Sure enough, Song Shenzong only wept bitterly when he heard this, and did not order the prescription and the backup medicine to be tested to verify whether the words of the royal court were correct.

The two little princes died before dawn, leaving only the sixth prince, Zhao Xu, because he was taking the medicine on Yang Xianmao's prescription, his condition had improved significantly, which made Song Shenzong and Empress Dowager Gao very happy. Especially the Empress Dowager Gao, her heart is sad and happy.

In the days that followed, the people in the palace fell ill one by one, and most of them died quickly, including several infant children of Song Shenzong, who also died of the plague.

In order to uphold what he said earlier, when he was treating other mothers and little princes, he still changed the medicine many times, and did not completely follow Yang Xianmao's prescription. And what was replaced was not a few flavors of medicine that played an auxiliary role, but all the key drugs were replaced. As a result, the cure rate plummeted, from 90 percent to 4 or 50 percent.

Pity these concubines, the beauty Jieyu, and the young children of Song Shenzong, all of whom became unjustly killed under the selfishness of the royal court.

Seeing their concubines and relatives dying of illness one by one, Song Shenzong and Empress Dowager Gao were full of doubts under their grief, and called the royal court to ask why the treatment effect was so far worse. The answer of the royal court was, of course, that Yang Xianmao's prescription was immature, and at most half of it could be cured.

However, this time Gonggong Long noticed that something was wrong, and quietly reported to the emperor after the royal court judgment left: "Butler, the slave thinks that what the royal court judge said may not be true. ”

Song Shenzong was taken aback and asked, "How can you see it?"

"Back to the official's house, many of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace also suffered from the plague, and they were treated by other imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital. But the cure rate can reach at least seventy, and it is not as few as the royal doctor said, why are those imperial doctors not as good as the royal doctor, but more cured?"

When Song Shenzong heard this, his face was immediately full of suspicion. Looking at Gonggong Long, he gritted his teeth and said: "You immediately go to Shang Pharmacy and transfer all the prescriptions and medicines prescribed by the royal doctor to the princesses and mothers, and at the same time call Doctor Fei to come, I have something to ask him." ”

Soon, all the prescriptions and backup medicinal materials used by the imperial doctor for each lady and the little prince were sent to the emperor's bedroom table, and Doctor Fei soon came. Song Shenzong said to Doctor Fei: "I heard that your medical skills are outstanding, and you are usually known as a divine doctor, and I want to test you today." ”

Doctor Fei bowed and said a few words modestly.

Song Shenzong pointed to the prescriptions and medicinal materials on the table and said to Doctor Fei, "Do you remember the prescription that Yang Xianmao presented to me to cure the plague?"

Doctor Fei nodded and said, "I am familiar with the chest, and I once asked him in person for the compatibility of the previous prescription, and he even told me the idea of medication." The recipe presented to the housekeeper is also the same, so this set of recipes can be said to be backwards. ”

"Okay, then you look at these recipes on the table, you circle them all the places that are different from the original recipe, and you also see if the medicinal materials on the table are the medicines used in the original recipe. ”

Doctor Fei glanced at Song Shenzong, and he had vaguely guessed what was going on. Because he knew that Song Shenzong was in a hurry, it was impossible for him to be idle at this time to test his medical skills, and he still used such a method. There is probably only one explanation for this, and that is that there is something wrong with these recipes, but it still needs to be verified.

So Doctor Fei picked up those prescriptions and reviewed them carefully, and shook his head with a wry smile every time he looked at one prescription. Lift the brush on the table, circle a few obvious mistakes, and write down the correct prescription and compatibility, as well as the dosage to be used.

Seeing that Doctor Fei looked at the prescriptions one by one, he shook his head from time to time to make mistakes. Song Shenzong's face was already extremely ugly, and suddenly he slapped the table violently, shaking the bowls and medicines on the table to jump, startling Doctor Fei, who was carefully checking the prescription.

Song Shenzong said to Gonggong Long with a blushing face: "Go and bring me the royal court judgment." ”

Gonggong Long immediately took people away, and Doctor Fei already understood what was going on. He didn't look at the back of the prescription, because the front one was enough to sentence the royal court to death. Even if the latter is added, it is just a death, so Song Shenzong issued an order now, and Doctor Fei just stood with his hands on the side.

Song Shenzong's face was blue, and after walking around the room a few times, he immediately issued another edict, asking the eunuch to hurry up and bring the prescriptions of other imperial doctors to the palace maids and eunuchs for review by Doctor Fei.
