Chapter 65: Sitting
Xiyin, the palace maid in charge of the Liuyu Palace, commanded the little eunuch to open the windows, and the rich and bitter medicinal gas overflowed the room in an instant, causing the flowers in the lotus pond outside to shake their heads. A few weak coughs drifted down the corridor as if out of nowhere, causing the palace maid leading the way to speed up her steps, and cold sweat was dripping on her forehead.
"The court sentence please hurry up, His Royal Highness's condition seems to have worsened again, Imperial Doctor Ling took care of it for a night, originally we all saw that the princess had fallen asleep, but in the middle of the night she coughed again. β
The sky was slightly bright, Su warmed and rubbed her swollen and aching temples, and it was not a pleasant experience to be called up after sleeping well, but she promised to take full charge of the little princess and had to leave immediately.
As soon as he entered the Warm Pavilion, Ling Yang anxiously greeted him and said, "Lord Su, Her Royal Highness the princess has a fever, and the lower officials are trying to find ways to lower the temperature." β
When Su Hui looked back, he saw a palace maid half-kneeling on the side of the couch, holding a small bowl and feeding Chu Wei medicine spoonful by spoonful. The child sat with his hair draped and leaned on a soft pillow, his little face pale and pale, and from time to time a series of sharp coughs.
"What medicine did you prescribe?" she neatly took the place of the palace maid, scooped a spoonful of medicinal juice under her nose and sniffed it. Chu Hao opened his eyelids in a daze, and saw that Su Hui was warming up in front of him, and he drooped down listlessly.
"Xia Guan saw that the little princess had a yellow tongue coating, sweaty and dry mouth, and a fever at the moment, which should be a sign of phlegm and heat obstruction and obstruction of the airway, so he temporarily prescribed a sub-Ma Xing Shi Gantang to promote lung qi. The princess felt unwell before going to bed, and her pulse was just a little weak, and the lower official felt that it was the wind and cold, so she prescribed a regular prescription. The princess was able to fall asleep after drinking, but after waking up a few times, the more she coughed at night, the worse she coughed, and the two officials she brought with her were not very good at the small square vein, and the lower official was always a little uneasy in her heart, and after another diagnosis to find out that it was asthma, she immediately called Master Su over. β
Children are weak and prone to asthma during the change of seasons. Ling Yang has not taken over the little princess for a long time, and it is the first time she has met her like this, how can she be a little naughty and lively on weekdays, her face is stable, and she is always a little uneasy in her heart. Anyway, His Majesty said that Lord Su was responsible for the princess's health, so he might as well call to discuss it first.
Su Huihui moved a stool to the edge of the bed, put the medicine bowl down, pulled his originally mellow wrist from the quilt and probed the pulse, and said in a stern tone:
"You can't even tell the difference between wind chill and asthma? If you use the wrong medicine, it's a small matter, and when your head hits the ground, it's a big thing!"
Ling Yang had never heard her speak like this, so he was startled, and hurriedly defended: "It is indeed a wind cold, and the lower official diagnosed the wind cold, and then he coughed badly." β
"I know it's a cold and still use the Qingxuan method?"
Ling Yang looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Lord Su, it's not that you haven't seen the princess pulse case, we don't dare to use too hot medicinal materials even if the wind is cold, the heat poison brought by the princess's womb, the previous seniors said that they committed asthma and prescribed it was not Wen Xuan's prescription......"
Su Huihui pressed his eyebrows and beckoned the palace maid to present a pen and paper, "I have naturally seen it." What are you calling me for when you have the confidence in it?"
Ling Yang immediately changed his words and said: "Fortunately, the lower official kept a good eye, as soon as the adult came, the lower official was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and did not make a big mistake." β
He said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Su Huihui's pen as he brushed it, and he thought about it suspiciously.
Su Huihui finished writing, and put the prescription on Ling Yang's eyes: "You have to see don't be sneaky." β
β¦β¦ It seems that the court verdict is really in a bad mood. Wake up?
Chu Hao suddenly snorted a few times, her thin eyebrows were knotted, and she opened her dry mouth to cough again, Su Hui simply sat down on the pillow, holding her sweaty back and patting it rhythmically.
Ling Yang looked at the prescription seriously, taking the medicine of pungent and warm taste, and dissipating the cold evil of the lungs with warmth, which was a basic prescription for cold asthma syndrome. Shoot dry ephedra decoction and Xiaoqinglong decoction plus subtract medicine, ginger and banxia are good at dissolving cold phlegm, shoot dry, cinnamon branches are used together to relieve pharyngeal stagnation, less schisandra astringent lung qi to prevent Xuan Disperse too much, licorice to reconcile the medicines themselves are also good at relieving asthma. In this way, the cold dissipates phlegm and the airway is unobstructed, and the asthma is calm.
"The child is young, and the acupuncture is too violent, and it is only suitable for decoction. β
He swept back and forth a few times, and said, "But...... Adult, the symptom is a sign of heat and wheezing, yes, the late Empress Dowager Anshun also had this disease. β
Xiyin asked worriedly, "Lord Su, but because the princess has always been hot, the signs of wind and cold are not obvious, so Imperial Doctor Ling used cold herbs to clear the lung heat?"
Su Huihui nodded, "What has the princess eaten recently?"
Xiyin first asked people to decoct the medicine, and then ordered the little palace maid to quickly bring the food list of the Liuyu Palace within ten years. Su Huihui and Ling Yang checked separately, and found that there had been a lot of food since the winter solstice, and only some beef and mutton were used on the day of the festival, and the rest were abnormal. The name of the dish is all over the place, and the inquiry is just those radish mushrooms and the like, and the straight people sigh that they are too frugal, if the ministers see this and don't know that the princess has a physical problem, they will probably point to the present and say that he treats the queen mother's sister badly.
"A while ago, a cook from the Western Regions came to the womb, and he roasted a good leg of mutton, but the princess ate some, and there were a few bubbles on her mouth. The imperial doctor said that the princess has a special physique, and she can't make up for it, and it's good to get a little light and cool every meal, so she has wronged the princess in the past few days. β
Chu Hao's ears were very pointed, and he coughed and said, "Eat those every day...... I, I want to eat a leg of lamb, cough...... Sprinkle more pepper, spicy, cough cough ......"
Xiyin covered his forehead and said firmly: "Your Highness, stop it, even if you don't eat the fire, you are not allowed to eat that!" Your Highness coughed, how can you eat spicy?"
Chu Wei shrank into Su Huihui's arms, "Sister sentenced by the court...... Ahem, is it okay for you to let my brother come, I'll tell him myself...... Ahem, sister, how are you doing......"
Su Huihui's waist was held firmly, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Your Royal Highness still has some strength, and it doesn't seem to be burning very tightly." Your Majesty is now in the court, how can you come over?"
She took a water-soaked cotton cloth and put it on the child's hot forehead, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. Ling Yang is not an inexperienced imperial doctor, although she judged that it was asthma triggered by wind and cold, but this situation of sweating and dry mouth, and even fever, it is really obvious, and then eating some hot food will take eight or nine days of radish to slow down, which shows that the little princess's long-term heat poison has an irrepressible momentum.
Liang Guo's secret guard snatched the twelve-leaf green sand fruit, and she had to find an alternative medicine to treat the symptoms as soon as possible. She wasn't very sure about this matter, but Sheng Yunyi sheltered her in front of everyone's bread at that time, and she should clean up the mess with reason.
A few drops of warm liquid seeped into his clothes, Su warmed up and gently stroked the back of Chu Hao's head, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness hold on for a while, just drink the medicine, I will let Mama Xiyin tell His Majesty, come over to accompany Yunyun when you get down?"
Chu Hao suddenly cried out loud with a "wow", and said intermittently: "Yunyun...... Yunyun is uncomfortable, I want my brother! I want my brother...... cough ......" she coughed rapidly, one voice higher than the other, and everyone was very worried about it.
Ling Yang paused and said, "Lord Su, hurry up and persuade the princess not to cry, otherwise she won't be able to drink the medicine later, and she won't be able to sleep!"
Xiyin ran to the side of the bed and comforted Chu Wei repeatedly, but no matter what she said, Chu Wei was crying on Su Huihui's body in the dark, and she couldn't stop at all. Su warmed up a few times and shook off her boots, Xiyin knew that the princess was the most pestering the court judge on weekdays, so she reluctantly pulled up the bed and took off her robe for her, and acquiesced to her to the little princess who was slowly coaxing people on the couch.
Ling Yang walked out with interest, "I'll go to the kitchen to guard the medicine and let them get some money." β
Su Huihui tried his best, hugged Chu Wei and said: "Yunyun is good, it won't be beautiful if you cry again, my brother doesn't like a bad girl, and when my brother comes, I will leave when I see Yunyun shedding tears." β
Xiyin couldn't hold back the green tendons that jumped straight from the corners of her forehead, how could any imperial doctor talk to the princess like this! But she could only echo:
"The slave maid has already asked Xiang'er to inform Fu Duzhi, and Lu Ah Gong is also sick, otherwise she must be in the house at this time to tell Princess SΓΉ that she can't cry lightly. The princess is stronger, the medicine prescribed by Master Su will arrive soon, drink it and fall asleep, and everything will be fine when she wakes up. β
She lifted the curtain and went out to change the water, Chu Hao was tired of crying, turned over, swollen around the two black grape-like eyes, and looked at Su Hui in a fog, her cheeks flushed.
Su Huihui's heart hurt a little when she looked at it, she remembered that when she was a child, there was no one else on Yuxiao Mountain, she accidentally played in the water and got the wind cold, her master's cold and hard attitude made her cry directly, the aunt who did the laundry and cooked held her in her hand and shook her to sleep, and the next day there was delicious food, and there was no need to do homework. Children have complex feelings of fear and love for illness, but when it comes to getting sick, most of them can't help it.
She combed her sweaty hair, and because of her congenital deficiency, the five-year-old child looked younger than the same age, soft and pitiful, humming straight in the quilt, like a kitten in the corner. She lifted the child up, made her sit up straight, wiped her face, and said:
"This posture is better, isn't it? That's what I did last time I saw Majesty. Your Highness, don't cry, I know that the fever is very uncomfortable, do you want to listen to the story? Don't speak, nod or shake your head. β
Chu Hao sniffed, her throat was about to smoke, swallowed the honey that Su warmed and fed, and just wanted to nod, but when she looked up, she saw her haggard side face in the bedside mirror. So he buried himself in the quilt and shook his head, grabbed her green shirt with both hands, rubbed it up vigorously, and lay down in her neck socket and did not move.
There are very few masters in the harem, the subordinates have no courage, and the imperial doctors are all men, Xiyin has never seen the little princess so close to others, and said angrily and funny:
"Your Excellency, the princess will be able to rest after taking the medicine later, right? Your Royal Highness, you can't do this! There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and you have to remember it at all times. β
Saying that he was about to take the child away, Su Hui hurriedly made a stop gesture, and pointed to the first mist where his breathing gradually subsided, and Xiyin sighed.
After closing a few windows, the dark and heavy decoction was brought up, Su Huihui didn't know how they did it so fast, she patted the child, and after a few shots, she had to turn the sleepy Chu Wei over, first took a silver spoon and tasted it herself, and then ordered to prepare honey water, scooped a small half spoon with the second silver spoon and handed it to Chu Hao's mouth.
Chu Wei bit the spoon and swallowed the medicine, paused for a moment, dialed the medicine bowl in Su Hui's hand in front of him, and drank it all into his stomach in one gulp. Su Huihui was stunned, how could a child drink medicine so quickly and so simply! Could it be that the shadow left by her brother last time she poured medicine was still there?
"Your Highness is so brave. β
The little princess hiccuped, and the potion went through her throat, and the burning really subsided a lot, and her breathing stopped itching. Shein wiped her mouth for her, looked left and right, and finally landed on the boulder in her heart, but saw Chu Hao take out a hand from the quilt, slowly point to the distance, and lie down listlessly.
"My brother said that if you want to be comfortable, you have to drink medicine. Sister, you can read to me, my brother is not in the palace these days, and he will check my homework tomorrow. I can't memorize a word, he's going to be angry. β
Su Huihui was surprised to tuck the corner of the quilt for Chu Hao, who had finally stopped coughing, "Your Highness is sick, Your Majesty will not ask Your Highness for endorsement." β
"The court sentenced my sister to study, because my sister can't tell stories, and I can remember a little more. β
Su Huihui tried her forehead with his wrist again, and it seemed that the heat had dropped a little. The bedside light was not on, but the sky was bright. After tossing for an hour, the little princess fell asleep peacefully, and Su Huihui was too tired to do so, covering Chu Hao's eyes with one hand, and putting the other hand on the book, closing her eyes and recuperating while still muttering sentences.
Chu Wei didn't read a word of her schoolwork, and there was a small pile of paper between the two corners of the paper, at least a dozen pages, and she was about to go to see Zhou Gong as she read it.
*
When the court meeting lasted until Chen, Sheng Yunyi went straight to the Liuyu Palace without changing his court clothes, and Ling Yang, who was on duty in the outer hall, didn't have time to go in and shout Su Huihui, so he was repelled with the palace maids. He was anxious about the judgment of the court, but he was still reading the Analects on the princess's couch, and Mama Xiyin should have reminded her to pull her down, but at this time, Xiyin also came out with a basin of water.
However, the verdict is still there. He thought for a while, and said to Xiyin: "Mama, I won't wait for Master Su, I expect that she still has important things about the princess's illness and told Her Majesty, I'll go back to the official office now." Although our court judge is used to being idle, and he is not very strict with etiquette and law to His Royal Highness, his heart is the best, and I hope Mama can understand. β
Xiyin said with a smile: "What did Imperial Doctor Ling say, not only is it rare for the princess to like her so much, but even His Majesty values this Lord Su very much." β
The windows in the warm pavilion were all closed, and the red Luo charcoal ignited a room of spring, Sheng Yunyi learned that Chu Hao was fine, so he untied his robe and handed it to Fu Yu, so that he could walk lightly.
Fu Yu's head was the most aura, and he glanced at a pair of short boots on the side of the couch, embroidered with bluegrass on the blue bottom, and he was a medical officer of the fifth grade. Master Su has always mixed well, at least better than Yuan Xing, and the eldest princess, who is difficult to deal with, is also willing to get close to her, presumably a very conscientious doctor.
He was holding the tea set, and suddenly his hand shook, thinking of the gossip he heard from Wei Jieyu, and couldn't help but lower his head and look at the couch without revealing a trace--It's not that good, could it be that people are bolder and save His Majesty's life, and it will develop into a drama where His Majesty has fallen in love with her? Those women are just bored, seeing how calm His Majesty is now, even Xiyin has gone down, haven't they done anything out of the ordinary......
There was movement on the couch, and Chu Hao opened his sleepy eyes and yawned heavily. The child's ability to recover is good, but in an hour, the effect of the drug is amazing, and the temperature of her body has dropped almost completely. Su Huihui stared at her with big eyes, she didn't sleep? Xiyin said that the princess was trained last time, and the time to get up was strictly controlled before Chenshi, probably because she had formed a habit...... But she was sleepy.
Chu Wei lazily tugged at the quilt, squinted at Su Huihui, and her voice was as soft as cotton: "Sister of the court judge, where are you reading? I seem to have only slept for a quarter of an hour." β
How did Su Huihui know how many pages he had just turned to, his eyes wiped over the black and white papers, hid the book behind him, and said smoothly: "In the chapter of "Advanced", Zilu, Ran You, and Gong Xihua sit ......."
Fortunately, it is the "Analects", anyone can recite a sentence or two, and she continues to endorse: "Mo Chun, the spring clothes are completed, the champion is five or six, the boy is six or seven, bathing in Yi, the wind is dancing, and the song returns." β
Fu Yu set up the tea set, and when he heard the question and answer between the big and the young, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and in a blink of an eye, the tea cup in front of him was gone.
The seven-inch-high red peat stove has never been elegant, but the color is liked by the princess, so it has been placed on the wooden frame in the Liuyu Palace. The things offered by the folk are only suitable for boiling tea with live water by the stream, but His Majesty has the leisure to cook snow in the tandoor at this time?
The black olive charcoal burns in the heart of the hearth, and the light blue flames jump evenly, and the water is fragrant, and there is a slight sound. After a few moments, the springs on all sides gush, accumulating beads, and then the waves and waves, the water vapor disappeared, and the old soup was completed. After the three boiling methods were completed, Sheng Yunyi washed them one by one, poured two cups, and the curling steam filled the air with Qingfen.
The breezy voice echoed in the room, with a little hoarseness, which was inexplicably reassuring.
"In the late spring, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and everyone is wearing light clothes in late spring. Five or six young people came from the shore, with a few children, to bathe in Yishui and pray for blessings. They blew a soft breeze on the stage and later sang while returning home. The sage also agreed with Zeng Hui's idea, such a life is leisurely and carefree. β
"It turns out that saints also like to be relaxed...... Sister, what should I do if I don't want to read anymore?"
The saint does not like to relax, at this time he has traveled back to China, and has the intention of retreating from the world, and Zeng Hui's statement is indisputable with the world, which is in line with the saint's state of mind at that time. This is actually a very sad thing, my wish cannot be fulfilled, and I can only rely on imagination to get fulfillment. β
"But the saint is always right, how can he be sad?"
Su Huihui, who was on the couch, seemed to think for a while, and said, "It's just my own opinion." But people need to imagine, because it is impossible to live as well as imagined. Your Highness is still young, so ask your Highness's teachers these questions. β
"Sister of the court, I sue you for something-" Chu Wei coughed twice, and said with a hint of playfulness: "You just called the name of the imperial brother." β
Sheng Yunyi stood in front of the table, the morning light reflected in the soles of his boots. He quietly watched as the foam of the noodle soup disappeared, his eyes light and his smile gentle.
Seeing that Fu Yu hurriedly retracted what he had just said to himself, what is not out of line, it is very likely that he will be out of line immediately! Then does he want to continue to stay here? No, the little princess is here, no matter how out of line, you have to be careful.
Although the people do not need to shy away from the name of today, no one dares to shout those words in front of the emperor's relatives and relatives, "Ah, I forgot, the princess doesn't want to talk to His Majesty, the princess has an uncomfortable voice, don't speak." In fact, it is said that my father named me with reference to Zeng Hui's words, and I don't know if it's true. β
"Sister, I'm actually hungry, you go and ask Mama to bring breakfast, let's eat together." Chu Wei tilted his head and thought about it, "My sister really fell asleep while she was studying, so I'll use this method next time." β
Su Hui warmed up and said exhaustedly: "Actually, I'm almost asleep, does Your Highness want me to accompany me here?"
Chu Hao's big watery eyes stared at her, pointing to his neck, his head nodded like pounding garlic, and pointed to the pillow, making a sleeping position.
The little girl was so cute, Su Huihui couldn't help laughing, lying down on the couch with kindness, next to her on the pillow, knocking on her eyebrows and saying:
"You say so?"
Chu Hao's gaze suddenly stayed somewhere behind her, Su Huihui realized that something was wrong, lifted the quilt and was about to get up, but there was a pair of warm hands on his shoulders.
She tried to look up, and when she saw his smiling face, a wave of guilt welled up in her heart.
Su Huihui grabbed the corner of his sleeve and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." β
