Regarding the fact that the smallpox vaccine promotion will be targeted by all parties and want a piece of the pie, Taohua has long expected it. At all times, there are always some calculating people who can find opportunities for fame and fortune from various places, and it is inevitable that they will be able to compete for fame and fortune.

She didn't plan to worry too much about this - she couldn't control the world, that should be the emperor's concern, she had already proved that pox was useful, even if the mission was completed. As for now, she should pay more attention to the northwest and Shen Shu.

Pulling out the last silver needle, Momoka exhaled softly and moved her fingers, which were a little stiff. Really, sure enough, the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, no matter what you don't do for a long time, you will be rusty. I didn't feel it when I gave injections to others before, but now that she has given Shen several injections, she is actually a little nervous.

"Tired?" Shen Shu opened his eyes and saw Taohua rubbing his fingers.

"It's not." Taohua was a little embarrassed, "Some hands are raw, I'm afraid that the needle won't be in place." "I'm even more afraid that the needle will probe too deeply, after all, this is a needle on the face, in case it hurts the nerves, it will be troublesome.

Shen Shu smiled: "What are you afraid of, you just need to take the needle." ”

You're bold. Taohua was helpless, turned around and took a glass of warm water, and stuffed him with a few pills: "Eat it." Close your eyes and refresh yourself for two moments. ”

Shen Shu took the pill and poured it into his mouth, closing his eyes and saying, "What kind of medicine is this, it tastes a little sweet." ”

"Qi Ju Di Huang Pill." Taohua sat on the edge of the bed and massaged the four white points for him, "Clear the liver and eyes, regulate the kidneys and replenish blood." ”

"Your new medicine?" Shen Shu closed his eyes and groped to pull Taohua's hand, "It's so hard to train the nursing team, and you have to make medicines...... In fact, you prescribed a prescription and told them to grab the medicine and boil it. "Anyway, the effect is the same when you eat it in your stomach.

Taohua pulled his hand down and began to massage the Hegu acupoint: "Be honest, I'm giving you a massage." It's convenient for me to grab the medicine, but it's inconvenient to boil up, and I don't know when I will delay taking the medicine, so it's better to make a pill and take it with me, and take it on time. "Now Shen Shu still has time to run out of the camp, if he is busy again, I am afraid that he will not be able to see the face, and he will not have time to wait for the medicine.

Speaking of which, her pharmaceutical skills are actually very ordinary, after all, there were many Chinese patent medicines in her previous life, and even the boiling medicine used more machines, and she generally did not need to make her own medicine. However, fortunately, it is cold in the northwest, and as long as the pill is formed, it can be stored for a period of time, and it will not affect the taking.

"But you've worked too hard...... Shen Shu sighed softly, "It's not been a few days since you got married." ”

"Look at what you say." Taohua held his hand and shook it gently, "My life is quite comfortable now." "A comfortable day is not necessarily a cloth to reach out for food to open your mouth, nor is it necessarily a mountain and sea delicacies and silk satin, you can do what you want to do, there are always people who support and someone applauds, this is also comfortable, and it may be the most "comfortable" day.

"Princess—" Mint came in with a grin, a happy face.

"What is it that makes you happy like this?" Taohua asked with a smile. Everyone has been working hard for a while, and these girls are used to working, but when they go to a place like the northwest, they do something completely different from before, and they also need to adapt. Although everyone didn't complain, it was rare to laugh so happily.

Mint grinned and said, "There's a letter from home, and I also brought a message - Miss Lu, no, it's Lu Baolin, Lu Baolin is happy!" ”

"Yingying is happy?" Taohua was happy at first, and then frowned again, "I don't know what the queen's plan is." ”

Shen Shu leaned on the head of the bed with his eyes closed, and smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Why did you forget that there is still a Yuan Shufei in front of you." ”

"I haven't forgotten." Taohua frowned and said, "The two concubines on the front and back feet are pregnant, and the queen shouldn't be crazy." "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, who knows what the queen can do when she is crazy.

Shen Shu burst out laughing. Probably only she dared to say the queen so happily.

"Even if the queen dares to go crazy, the queen mother doesn't dare to indulge her so much now. The matter of Zhao Chongyi in the front has not been forgotten, and the two concubines in the back are pregnant together, at least they have to give birth to one to be like that. ”

Taohua suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The queen will not let Concubine Yuan Shu give birth!" "The son is more expensive than the mother, and the children born to high-ranking concubines are more competitive, no matter what aspect it is, if you want to keep one, the queen will prefer to let Lu Ying give birth.

Shen Shu smiled and nodded.

Taohua breathed a sigh of relief, but inexplicably felt a little sad: "But Yuan Shufei's child ......" She didn't sympathize with Yuan Shufei, or even pity the child who might not be destined to be born, but felt a kind of unprovoked sorrow, for the sake of the harem that looked glamorous but had an undercurrent surging, and for this unstoppable fight and mutual injury.

"The royal brother won't let her give birth." Shen Shu said lightly, "The death of the emperor's eldest concubine has an inseparable relationship with her. ”

"She?" Taohua was surprised, "Didn't I hear that the emperor doted on her very much, and she had always been quiet and respectful in the prince's mansion back then...... "Well, there are many things I heard that are unreliable."

Shen Shu sneered: "A person who is calm and respectful may not be like this, maybe he just doesn't have a chance." As soon as someone puts the opportunity in front of them, the truth is about to be revealed. ”

He was talking about Concubine Yuan Shu, but Taohua suddenly thought of Cicada Yi and couldn't help but smile: "You can see it clearly, I'm afraid that the bystanders will be clear, and the authorities will be confused." ”

"Huh?" Shen Shu was still thinking about the things in the palace, and he didn't understand what Taohua meant for a while, "What? ”

"Nothing." Taohua put down his hand with a smile, and while he couldn't see it, he casually scratched his face, "Go on, since she is suspected of harming the emperor's eldest concubine, why does the emperor still favor her so much?" ”

"Love the house and the black." Shen Shu shrugged, "She has always been respectful to the eldest princess of the emperor, and the eldest princess of the emperor also values her. In this case, the eldest princess of the emperor is gone, and the imperial brother will inevitably empathize, so he naturally wants to pamper her, and he also gave her two children, but unfortunately she has no ability and has not kept any of them. ”

Taohua felt a little chilled because of the last sentence: "This third one still can't be saved." "The emperor did not give her a child, but used her as a shield. If you think about it, you know that it was the Yu family who killed the emperor's eldest concubine, and if the Yuan family was suspicious, it meant that she must have taken refuge in the Yu family at the beginning.

At that time, if the emperor punished the Yuan family, the Yu family would come forward to protect her, so that the two families would form a party. However, instead of punishing Yuan, the emperor said that he loved to re-promote her because Yuan and the emperor's eldest concubine had a relationship, which caused the queen's jealousy, and he could not tolerate this woman who benefited from the death of the emperor's eldest concubine. After she got rid of Concubine Yuan Shufei's first child, the Yu and Yuan families were incompatible, and there was no possibility of uniting.

And what did Yuan get? She wanted to take refuge in Yu's family, but she was not allowed by the queen, a woman surnamed Yu. Although she became a high-ranking concubine second only to the queen, she couldn't even keep a child, but had to endure the pain of miscarriage repeatedly, and her body was also damaged. The saddest thing is that she can't say all this pain, but she has to force her favorite concubine's frame and face in front of outsiders. These are undoubtedly the best revenge for her.

"So you don't have to worry." Shen Shu groped and stretched out his hand to pat Taohua's hand, "Brother Huang naturally has some arrangements, and your friend will definitely be able to give birth safely." ”

"It's hard to say." Taohua sighed, "It's very troublesome for a woman to be pregnant, and no one dares to pack a ticket." "Even if the emperor is arming around Lu Ying, he may not be able to do everything. I think at the beginning, didn't the first emperor value the first concubine? And her grandfather served to diagnose the pulse, but didn't he die of a blood collapse in the end? If Lu Ying ended up like this in the end, she would rather Lu Ying not be favored by this than conceive this dragon species.

Shen Shu also remembered his dead mother, and the room suddenly fell silent. Mint couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when the good news he sent turned out to be like this in the end, and he looked at Taohua with a blank eye. Taohua smiled, waved her hand to let her out, and gently stroked Shen Shu's hair.

Shen Shu suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang is suspicious, the medicine that the Queen Mother gave to Zhao Chongyi may be the kind that I used for my mother and concubine at the beginning." ”

Taohua was stunned for a moment: "This-" It sounds like the effect of the medicine is completely different, one is teratogenic, and the other is a blood collapse-no, the blood collapse is not necessarily because of that drug.

Shen Shu's eyes were cold: "There is no trace of that medicine, although the imperial brother found it last time, there is no evidence." This time - the imperial brother takes good care of the Yuan family, and if the queen mother and the queen want to get rid of the Yuan family's fetus again, most of them will still use this medicine! ”

Taohua was dumbfounded: "So, the emperor still wants to use the Yuan family to fish out this medicine again?" ”

Shen Shu nodded slowly. For many years, the emperor has watched his flesh and blood being murdered one by one, and now he has finally caught a clue, how can he let go.

Taohua sat there in a daze, Shen Shu looked at her for a while, and reached out to hug her: "These things should not have been told to you." "The heart of the doctor's parents, Taohua shouldn't have listened to these intrigues.

Taohua sighed: "I heard people say in the past that the heavenly family has no father and son, and the heavenly family has no flesh and bones, I always feel that it is still exaggerated, but I didn't expect it-" The truth will only be more cruel.

Shen Shu was silent for a moment and said, "That's all in the palace, and it has nothing to do with us." "He won't go into the palace to live again, and Taohua is the same.

"That's right." Taohua perked up, "Don't talk about that." In a few days, I would like to arrange a fourth exercise for the nursing team. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Shu was also a little skeptical: "I heard that the things you teach them are very simple?" "It is said that the wounds were tied with a V-belt, cleaned, and carried away on a stretcher, and they were not taught medical skills.

Taohua spread her hands: "They are a nursing team, they are just helping to save people, what else can they teach?" "Even if you want to teach, can you learn medicine in a month or two?

"W-really useful?" Shen Shu asked cautiously. He went to see the first three drills, and the scene was a mess. A hundred or so women and disabled sergeants ran around, sometimes bumping into each other, provoking the sergeants who were lying on the ground pretending to be wounded. Some of the nurses made a mistake between the head and the leg, and found that it was wrong when they were lifted on the stretcher, and they hurriedly changed it, and even dropped the wounded off the stretcher, causing a few curses.

To be honest, although this is Taohua's proposition, Shen Shu was a little unbearable after watching it twice, so he found an excuse not to watch it the third time.

Taohua smiled slightly: "It's also useful to save one more person." "It's just a pity that she is a Chinese medicine practitioner rather than a Western doctor, and to be honest, in terms of battlefield ambulance, it is still the surgery of Western medicine that is more effective, and what she can do now is actually limited.

"Well, this is also ......" Shen Shu coughed lightly and cheered his wife, "It is also a merit to be able to live a few more people." ”

Taohua looked at him and smiled: "I don't believe it." ”

"Where, where-" Shen Shu touched his nose and changed the topic with a smile, "I heard that you are inquiring about the Ding family?" ”

"Very well-informed, my county lord." Momoka squinted at him with a smile, "What else do you know?" ”

Shen Shu smiled and took her hand: "I'll just say a word about the nursing team, this is annoying?" ”

Momoka wasn't annoyed with him. The role of the nursing team is actually very large, but it must also be coordinated with subsequent medical means, otherwise even if the person is snatched from the battlefield, it will also die. So now it's normal that even Shen Shu can't see this benefit.

"That Ding family-in fact, it has not been a doctor for several years, do you know that Ding Langzhong has treated several people before?"

"Those few people, if he doesn't cure them, he will die." "In that case, the rotten will erode from the leg upwards until the whole person is rotten, or sepsis." ”

"It's the few people in the quarantine who cut off their boils but died?" Shen Shu thought for a while, "But, after he cured it, the person still died......

Taohua sighed: "The amputation wound is large, and once it is infected, it will be difficult to save." "There are no antibiotics, no blood transfusions, and this kind of operation is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but this Ding Langzhong's luck is too bad.

Shen Shu understood Taohua's meaning with a little difficulty, and was surprised: "You mean that people can live even if their legs are amputated?" ”

"Of course I can." Taohua saw a wounded soldier with missing arms and legs in Yanzhou City, "Isn't there such a person in the battalion?" ”

Shen Shu suddenly said: "I'm really confused." But if there is such a thing in the camp, it is to be burned with fire—"and those who do so may not survive a few."

"Burning with fire is sterilization and disinfection." The wound is charred, which can not only stop the bleeding, but also disinfect, but after burning, the leg or hand is finished.

"Is there any other way?" Shen Shu was even more surprised.

Taohua was a little stunned: "Yes, yes, but there is no medicine......"

"You can't make it without medicine?"

Taohua shook her head: "But as a last resort, you can still give it a try." "In fact, it is also like giving oral Penicillium drink to anthrax patients, dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, and one can be cured.

"So, is the Ding family's craftsmanship really usable?" The death happened eight years ago, Shen Shu was thirteen years old at that time, and he still remembered this incident vividly, because there was a deceased who was a sergeant in the camp at that time, and after his death, his wife took his two children to the door of Ding's house to make a fuss, and also brought a few of the deceased's comrades, and smashed the Ding family into a mess. Since then, Ding Langzhong has not practiced medicine anymore, and I heard that he went to villages and towns, specializing in treating cattle and horses, and became a veterinarian.

"I've seen him sew a woman's arm with very fine stitches." The woman, probably the most successful of the Ding Langs, was cut on the arm by a plowshare, and the wound was deep and long, almost from the shoulder to the forearm. Ding Langzhong used the method of layered sutures, and the woman can still use her arm freely, but after all, she hurt her nerves and couldn't use too much force.

It's just a pity that the peasant woman, if she can't use her arms hard, she will be half wasted, so the family is very dissatisfied, and they don't think Ding Langzhong's craftsmanship is good.

"There are thousands of horses in the world......" Momoka sighed deeply. It's just that there are no people who know the goods.

"Maybe he'll be able to meet Bole now." Shen Shu smiled, "Ding Langzhong has gone home yesterday." "He goes to the countryside to treat cattle and horses, often for days at a time, and his whereabouts are uncertain.

Taohua raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You-" Shen Shu actually went to inquire about her news?

Shen Shu smiled, a little childishly proud: "Isn't it good?" ”

"Good!" Taohua felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, hugged his shoulders and kissed him, "You have always been very good." ”

Peppermint waited a little apprehensively outside, but found that the two people who came out side by side were smiling, and Shen Shu still had a suspicious flush on his face, and he smiled a little silly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Let's go, go to Ding's house." Taohua slapped her lightly, "What are you looking at?" "This silly girl.

Ding's family lives in an alley, and it is said that they moved here after they were smashed last time. The people living here are poor, the houses are shallow and narrow, and the floor in the alley has no stone slabs, just a dirt road, which has been muddy after a few snowfalls.

"It's clean here." Shen Shu was slightly surprised. He had seen such places, and the poor people did not pay attention to them, and some even poured the night pot directly outside the door, not to mention any rotten vegetable leaves and stove ashes, so that the poor could smell a bad smell without going in.

In contrast, although the floor of this alley is muddy, there is no dirt, and the smell of dirt and rain is only smelled in the nose, and there is no rancid smell, which is simply rare clean.

"Looks like you've come to the right place today." Taohua got off the carriage - it was not easy for carriages to get into, "The place where Lang Zhong lives is always cleaner." ”

The wooden door in front of him, which looked so thin that it could be broken with a single kick, was gray and white, and it was only painted with a layer of varnish, but it was wiped cleanly. The door was unlocked, only hidden, and the sound of a hen clucking could be heard coming from inside the door, probably having just laid eggs.

Taohua raised her hand and patted on the door, which immediately attracted several glances from the left and right portals. This place is mostly a miscellaneous courtyard, the doors are open all day, and the slightest movement is almost known to the whole alley, and there is no secret.

Although Taohua and Shen Shu are not gorgeously dressed, the clothes are also good, and the handiwork is even more fine, all of which these poor people have never seen. There was another carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, followed by a maid and servant, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Come in, the door isn't closed." A young man's voice came from inside the door, Shen Shu pushed the door open, and saw a young man in his early twenties squatting in front of the chicken coop in the corner, holding an egg that had just been taken out in his hand, and when he turned his head and saw the person standing at the door, he immediately got up nervously, "You are—what's the matter?" ”

"Chen'er, what's wrong?" An older voice came from inside the room, "Is anyone hurt?" Come in, please. ”

"It's not. Daddy—" The young man lowered his voice visibly guarded, "who are you?" As he spoke, his gaze fell on the guards behind Shen Shu, especially the swords at their waists.

Taohua stepped forward: "You are Xiao Ding Langzhong, right?" Ding Langzhong's wife passed away a few years ago, and he only relied on his son for his life.

The young man turned his head, his eyes not knowing whether to laugh at himself or to be angry: "Don't dare, it's just a veterinarian." ”

"Is Ding Langzhong here?" Momoka glanced at the low room.

"My dad wasn't feeling well. What's the matter with you? If there are cows and horses in the family who are sick, I can go and take a look. "But looking at the pomp and circumstance of these two, I don't have to call a veterinarian in person.

Chu Yi coughed dryly: "This is the king of Anjun and the princess of the county." ”

Plop, the sound of falling to the ground came from the walls on both sides, and some peeking people were so frightened that they fell off the wall, but fortunately this wall is not high, otherwise I'm afraid Taohua will have to go to show them injuries.

The young man was also dumbfounded, and it took a long time to remember to kneel: "Xiaomin has seen the prince of the county and the princess of the county." ”

With a squeak, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties stood there holding on to the door frame: "Xiaomin doesn't know that the prince and princess have arrived, please forgive the prince." ”

In order to protect the poor people in the northwest from the wind and cold, the walls are thick and the doors and windows are small, so the lighting is naturally not good. Now, even when the door is open, it is still dark inside, but the gray hair of the middle-aged man's temples is particularly conspicuous.

"Ding Langzhong is polite." Taohua waved his hand to stop Xiao Ding Langzhong from kneeling, raised his feet and entered the room, "Ding Langzhong is already suffering from wind and cold, and it is not appropriate to stand in the wind like this anymore." ”

When he entered the house, he felt that the light was even darker, and Xiao Ding Langzhong hurriedly went to bring out a pot of boiling water, with an embarrassed face: "The prince and the princess forgive their sins, Xiaomin only has this barley tea in his house...... "Tea must not be able to drink, some poor families pick some tender leaves to soak in water, and it is already good to be able to make tea after frying with barley."

Taohua nodded: "Barley tea calms the stomach and quenches thirst, and it is very good." ”

"The princess is really proficient in medical skills." Ding Langzhong gave the only two chairs in the house to Shen Shu and Taohua, and sat on a bench by himself, trying not to face the two of them, "I just don't know - what does the princess and princess command?" "How could such a noble man come to his door? I won't come here for the sake of his death of the sergeant.

Taohua smiled slightly and leaned forward: "I heard that Ding Lang has a good medical skill, so I came to ask for advice." ”
