Chapter 31: The Incompetence of the Divine Doctor
Li Xing looked at the majestic palace in front of him, solemn and atmospheric, without losing his majesty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoHere, it is the palace of the Queen Mother.
After waiting outside the hall with Xiao Dongzi for a while, a middle-aged eunuch stepped forward and said, "Miss Li, please come with the slave family." β
Li Xing followed, while Xiao Dongzi stood in place and waited. Li Xing shouted in his heart, this ancient rule is really strict, and he actually wants to implement every word of the order. Glancing at Xiao Dongzi, Li Xing couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, in this place where people can be killed at any time, can't there be a helper?
But when Li walked to the main hall of the main hall, he found that countless eyes were looking her up and down. Li Xing suddenly felt that there was nowhere to hide, and for a moment he just wanted to find a hole to get intoβhe had grown so big, and he had not been stared at so nakedly.
Sitting in the first place turned out to be the queen just now, and standing behind her turned out to be Tan Biyue, who was talented. At the head of the queen, there are several beauties, who are younger than the queen, but they have their own beauty and style. And behind these beauties, there are naturally palace maids and eunuchs.
Li Xing thought aggrievedly, how did this queen go so fast? Didn't you meet again just now, and you were on the same path as yourself, why did you quietly catch up with yourself so much? However, looking at this posture, it seems to be a promotion, and he is the poor defendant.
Come to think of it, Li Xing's movements are not slow, he has been in ancient times for so long, and he still knows how to salute.
"Grass folk Li Muqing knocked to see the queen's mother, the concubine's mother, and the mother's mother." Not to mention, the posture is quite decent, and it can be seen that it is standard.
"Get up." The queen had only seen Li Xing, and knew that this woman was invited by the prince, so she didn't plan to embarrass her, waved her hand, and motioned for Li Xing to get up.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention the messy rivers and lakes of the harem? Although the queen's attitude is very good, she can't stand the gossip of the concubines.
Li Xing tilted his head slightly, and then saw the woman who was closest to the queen and said with a smile: "The prince is really filial, and he specially invited a goddess doctor from the people, just to see the illness of the ancestors, and the ancestors are really blessed and prolonged!" β
This is cleverly said, on the surface, it is to praise the prince's filial piety and sigh that the ancestors are blessed, but in fact, it is said that the prince took a lot of effort, and the miracle doctor he found turned out to be a woman, satirizing the prince's incompetence.
Li Xing glanced at the woman, the woman was wearing a pale red peony rich dress, and a drop of red mole between her eyebrows was eye-catching, very bright, but it lacked the queen's steady atmosphere.
"But, Sister Shufei, will this woman be sick? Why does my sister think that she was born beautiful and doesn't look like a doctor? It can't be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince randomly found a woman to fill up the numbers, right? "The voice is soft and smiling.
Concubine Shu covered her mouth contrivedly, saying that she didn't expect this, and then said: "Xu Meiren, don't talk nonsense, isn't this framing the virtuous prince?" β
"Eh, how dare my sister frame the prince?" Saying this, this beautiful woman wanted to get up and confess.
Li Xing can understand it below, but it is also a head and two big, this concubine and the beauty are obviously singing and partnering, and the drama is very harmonious.
Finally, the first queen was a little depressed, and said majestically: "Okay, early in the morning, don't disturb the purity of the ancestors!" β
The queen's beautiful eyes glared at the two of them angrily, and Concubine Shu and Xu Meiren had to get up and blessed: "How dare the concubine." β
The queen didn't really blame these two people, waved her hand to signal the two to sit down, looked at Li Xing again, and said softly: "Since it is the prince's filial piety, it is not easy to live up to it, and it doesn't hurt to take a look." β
As soon as the words fell, a eunuch led Li Xing to the inner room.
The inner room is very spacious, the outermost is a small flower hall, and the inside, there is a small ear room on each side, which is separated by a screen, and the innermost is a spacious bedroom. On one side of the bedroom, there is a large rosewood bed carved by auspicious clouds, which is now separated by a curtain. On the other side of the bedroom, there is a large wooden shelf, which is placed with all kinds of utensils, most of which are used by Buddhists. Inside, there's a dresser. In the center of the bedroom is a unicorn copper incense burner, smoking an unknown incense, at this time the smoke is curling, the mist is steaming, and the fragrance of the room is also very strong. And the windows of the room were also tightly closed, and there was not a trace of wind passing through, and the room was dull and tight.
Li Xing lifted the curtain and walked all the way, and when he saw such a scene, his brows furrowed slightly.
After buttoning the head of the ancestor, an old woman helped Li Xing up, and then took out the queen mother's hand from the curtain and diagnosed Li Xing's pulse.
Li Xing looked at the well-maintained hands, which were only slightly wrinkled at this time, and thought to himself, this old lady has really enjoyed enough blessings. Listening to her breathing a little more, it is very long, at such a young age, she can still be so healthy, it is really well maintained!
As the saying goes, it is rare for people to live for seventy years, Li Xing thought, this old lady should be that rare variety.
Calm down, Li Xing cut the pulse of the Queen Mother. The pulse was as long and powerful as expected. But now this old lady is asleep, which is really strange.
"Can I see the phoenix face of the old ancestor?" Li Xing said very sincerely, this is a medical treatment that is expected to be inquired about.
The old woman knew this common sense, nodded, and reached out to lift the curtain slightly.
Li Xing glanced over, but saw that the old lady was peacefully closing her eyes at this time, her eyes were a little dark, and her lips were a little pale. Li Xing was startled, and Li Xing subconsciously looked at the smoker, could it be......
Not daring to draw conclusions too quickly, Li Xing looked at the old woman and said hesitantly: "How long has the old ancestor been in such a situation?" β
"More than a month." The old woman didn't dare to hide it, and said.
"The ancestor is sick, but why do you still smoke incense?"
"The girl doesn't know, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial hospital to the ancestors."
Li Xing nodded, thoughtful. It seems that this palace is really complicated, and even such an old lady has someone to calculate, and I don't know what the purpose is.
Obviously, this is not a disease caused by the body's own functions, but it is likely to be poisoned. It's just that it's a chronic poison and it's not easy to detect. Looking at the momentum, I thought that after another month or so, the poison accumulated to a certain extent, and then began to erode the internal organs, and then I became terminally ill and could not be saved.
As for why the old lady fell asleep, it is thought that it is due to the body's subconscious automatic immunity, resulting in a lack of energy, resulting in shock.
Returning to the main hall, Li Xing once again ushered in everyone's attention.
"How?" When the queen saw Li Xing coming out, she asked a little eagerly. Obviously, if the Queen Mother can be cured this time, it will be the prince's credit, which she is happy to see.
Li Xing was slightly stunned, and then knelt down: "The grass people are incompetent, please punish the mother!" β
When everyone heard this, their expressions were very rich. The queen's eyes were disappointed, Concubine Shu and the beauty were slowly gloating, and the rest of the concubines had a faint look on their faces.
The queen felt that her face was gloomy, and before Concubine Shu and the others could speak, she said with a calm face: "Reward her with five boards and send her out of the palace!" β
Li Xing didn't intend to beg for mercy, but automatically retreated, and then went to get the board. She lied, but she was at ease, anyway, she only promised Liu Zhuang to see the Queen Mother, and she didn't say that she would be cured! This mess is too bad, she really doesn't want to get involved. However, the five boards have to be counted on Liu Zhuang.
