(63) The illness of the Queen Mother

Rou Guiji was grounded, and He Chongyi entered the cold palace. This is the biggest novelty in the harem today. He Chongyi is just that, since the last time the change of dressing for Rou Guiji was revealed, since Zhaoyi was demoted to Chongyi, there is no notable value for the women of the harem. But Rou Guiji is different.

She is one of the most favored concubines since the concubine entered the palace. Except for the queen and the concubine, no one can stand out. The rising star, whether it is Yue Shuyi Yuxi, who has been praised by the emperor several times and has become the second person in the harem to enjoy the title, or Qin Fanghua, who is friendly with the queen and gradually begins to become the queen's right-hand man, cannot replace her position in the harem and in the emperor's heart.

Besides, she has no family background, no healthy body, her complexion is only beautiful, and she has never had any very characteristic character, but she still makes the emperor favor, the queen takes good care of her, and even the noble concubine, who has always been flamboyant, has never really felt sorry for her.

Such a story experience has almost made Rou Guiji a legend in the harem, and some people speculate that if Guiji gives birth to a prince and the long-suspended Concubine De, for her, I am afraid it will be like finding a bag, and it will be easy. I can't say that His Majesty has not established Concubine De, just waiting for Rou Guiji to have a good reason to ascend to the throne.

I don't know how many people in the palace envy Rou Guiji's good life, but they never expected that Rou Guiji's good life came to an abrupt end.

Grounded for three months, no one in the harem thinks that after March, His Majesty will regain his favor for Rou Guiji. Besides, this time the matter is not big, but it is not small. Although Rou Gui Ji did not make a mistake, but after all, she collided with the Queen Mother, and Her Majesty has always been a person who attaches great importance to filial piety, and she still wants to practice finger rolling on the spot at the banquet. Now that he has been grounded for three months, it is equivalent to saying that there are fewer days for Rou Guiji to occupy His Majesty, how many concubines are waiting here to prepare their hands, after March, who still remembers who Rou Guiji is?

Whether the concubines in the harem are sighing that the beauty is "fleeting", or waiting for the opportunity to attack His Majesty at any time, our protagonist, Lord Majesty, is not in the mood to pay attention to it now. He was in Shoukang Palace, with his queen Song Mi'er, staring gloomily at the few imperial doctors who were kneeling to ask for sin.

"A bunch of quacks! What else do you do besides pleading? I took the money and raised you bunch of shit?! ”

Shen Zhan was obviously very angry, and the big knife straddled the couch, and his handsome face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins," said an elderly imperial physician with a beard that reached his chest, "His Majesty is incompetent, and he is indeed unable to diagnose the illness of the Queen Mother, Xu is ・・・・・・."

He didn't dare to say the words later, and the imperial doctors all felt that the queen mother was not just a woman who was old, and her kidney water was insufficient to guide her dryness, which could only be relieved internally, and could not be cured. But His Majesty and the Queen didn't believe it at all, and always thought that the Queen Mother was sick, how could someone get angry for no reason and calm down for no reason?

"What Mr. Tang means, this palace knows, but there is still something unclear in this palace, and I hope that Mr. Tang will solve his doubts."

"Can patients relieve their dryness on their own? Do you know what you said and did when you were depressed? ”

Old Imperial Doctor Tang was stunned and nodded slowly, "This is natural." ”

"Then it's strange," Song Mi'er was angry, "why doesn't the queen mother remember what she did before and what she said after she was depressed?" ”

"This ・・・・・・" Imperial Doctor Tang muttered for a moment, unable to answer. If it is dirty, he naturally knows what he said and did when he lost his temper, but the Queen Mother can't remember it at all, for example, today the Queen Mother doesn't remember that she had two concubines yesterday, and when she diagnosed the pulse of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also asked Rou Guiji's pulse case with concern, and asked herself that the imperial doctor must make her healthy, and the color of love and care is not like a fake, if you really can't remember, then this disease is really strange・・・・・・ the old imperial doctor thought about it carefully, and was shocked into a cold sweat behind it, In the Shoukang Palace, where the earth dragon was burning, it was like someone stuffing a piece of ice in the quilt on a snowy day.

"The subordinates are incompetent!"

Imperial Doctor Tang pondered for a long time, and muttered for a while before he said these words with a pale face and sweating profusely.

Shen Zhan gritted his teeth in anger, that was his mother-in-law, the biological mother who raised him alone in the face of wind, frost, snow and rain in this deep palace, but now he was plagued by an unknown illness! Shen Zhan grew up in the deep palace, and in the past twenty years, he has seen too much, and his daily situation is different from the past, but he can't find out the root cause, and he must not take it lightly, and often not finding anything is the most terrifying. This is his own queen mother, not those ordinary concubines! Shen Zhan's heart tightened as if he had been pulled up with a giant hand. "Go, invite Imperial Doctor Meng."

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Zhan finally whispered to An Jin to invite Meng Xun. Meng Xun is the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and according to his identity, he is not qualified to diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother, but now that the emperor has spoken, and in the case that he has not diagnosed what the Queen Mother has any symptoms, no matter how proud the imperial doctors are, they are no longer willing to be trampled under the feet of a hairy boy who has just entered the Tai Hospital and has not stood firm on his heels, and there is nothing they can do, so they have no choice but to swallow this breath. They want to see what this unknown Doctor Meng is capable of!

Speaking of this Meng Xun, I don't know where he came from, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he promoted many young doctors and medical women from various medical bureaus, and after the selection and assessment, he entered the Tai Hospital as a doctor or a medical woman. The imperial doctors, who are nothing more than the people who see and consult the masters of the harem, do not affect the overall situation, this batch of imperial doctors and medical women, in the past, in the medical bureaus around the country, most of them had no foundation and background, and they did not involve any interests, and the bigwigs of various groups turned a blind eye and did not take this seriously. They still have a long way to go in the struggle with His Majesty, and they don't have the heart to care about this trivial matter, so they lightly let these folk doctors enter the palace, from another aspect, it is also to let His Majesty see their compromise on this, so that His Majesty can relax his vigilance and reap benefits from the other side.

There are many adults standing behind these imperial doctors, these political games, they have more or less learned some inside information, and today His Majesty abandoned them and summoned Meng Xun, such a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo, they can only admit it "deeply and righteously". However, that Meng Xun, since he entered the Tai Hospital, has been deeply trusted by His Majesty, and has bypassed Imperial Doctor Xue and Imperial Doctor Wang and others several times and directly found him. I don't know what kind of ability he has, according to the intelligence, this Meng Xun was just a medical officer in a county in the southwest border area before entering the palace, he grew up in the local area since he was a child, and he has always been unknown. However, he is tall and white-skinned, and he does not look like a local in the southwest, and he has no father or mother, I am afraid that he was picked up and raised by the locals after being abandoned. Such a person, and Mu Ne doesn't know which minister to take refuge into, just like duckweed, no matter how much he wins the emperor's heart, it is just fluttering in the wind, and he is confined to the harem, so what if he is appropriate? !

While the imperial doctors were thinking nonsense, Meng Xun had already arrived in the Shoukang Palace.

"Wechen meets His Majesty, the queen mother!"

Meng Xun tightened his sleeves and first bowed deeply to Shen Zhan and Song Mier. He also bowed to several imperial doctors as a sign of respect.

The imperial doctors' faces were a little bad, and they were waiting for Meng Xun to make a fool of themselves.

But seeing that Meng Xun did not enter the inner room for the first time to diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother, but inspected the flowers for a while, and carefully inspected the incense burner, incense ding, vase and potted plants.

After Meng Xun inspected the surroundings of the flower room, he respectfully asked the inner room if he could enter to diagnose the pulse of the queen mother.

The Queen Mother was surrounded by a group of imperial doctors for a long time today, and she was already very upset, and the whole person was half-closed on the Luohan Collapse, frowning and asking Meng Xun's pulse. This Meng Xun heard her imperial son Shen Zhan mention it, and she seemed to appreciate this young man very much, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have agreed to let him come to check the pulse.

Meng Xun entered the inner room respectfully, but he asked the Queen Mother for her pulse as usual, and asked the daily diet and living habits of Yunxi and the Queen Mother Luoxue who were standing on the side, thought for a moment, and walked around the inner room again. As early as when Meng Xun was diagnosing his pulse, several imperial doctors who followed Shen Zhan and Song Mier into the room watched with a sarcastic look at Meng Xun walking and stopping in the room, and the younger imperial doctor said silently, "Jumping Beam Clown", and he didn't know what kind of demon he was doing in a serious book. But also, with that young appearance, where are the medical skills good, they can't find the problem, what kind of tricks can a little imperial doctor say?

"Doctor Meng, what's the problem?"

Every time Song Mier saw Meng Xun, he was an old god, and he didn't look serious and strict, looking at him today, he looked at him again, as if he was not here to diagnose the pulse of the most noble person in the calendar, but to drink tea, Song Mier endured and endured, and couldn't help urging Meng Xun to give a result quickly.

Meng Xun heard Song Mi'er's question, the corners of his mouth raised, and he paused in the direction of Song Mi'er, his tone was respectful but seemed to bring a smile, "Back to the queen's mother, the queen mother's mother is not a disease, but caused by foreign objects." ”

"What foreign objects?"

Shen Zhan panicked when he heard this, could it be that someone poisoned the queen mother?

"Speak clearly! What's going on? Song Mier was also a little anxious, the harem of the mother was heavily guarded, what foreign objects could guide the queen mother silently? Her brain hole is bigger than Shen Zhan's? I have already thought about the concubines of each palace in my mind, and I am worried that there are people in Shoukang Palace who should cooperate with the outside and the slaves who betray the master and seek glory? What is the purpose of this whole play?

Shen Zhan was very anxious, but Meng Xun saw that Song Mier seemed to be even more anxious than Shen Zhan, and gave Shen Zhan a "Your daughter-in-law is good" look from the angle, which made Shen Zhan cry and laugh: It's not serious at this time! However, seeing Meng Xun's relaxed demeanor, it can be seen that the situation of the queen mother should be no big problem, Shen Zhan's heart is relieved, but he also talks to Meng Xun about the reason.

Meng Xun waved at the Queen Mother, Shen Zhan and Song Mier, and then said: "The imperial doctor has just diagnosed that the Queen Mother is caused by dryness, and it is not wrong. ”

As soon as these words came out, several imperial doctors immediately touched their beards, nodded their heads, and looked at Meng Xun's Flying Eye Knife: Isn't this the same as what we said? I thought this kid was very capable.

The falling snow standing in front of the Queen Mother's bed swept Meng Xun, and his eyes were not good.

Meng Xun didn't seem to feel the change in the surrounding atmosphere, and said slowly: "However, that's only a small part of the reason, the Queen Mother likes to fiddle with flowers and plants, and this song knot flower and deer primrose should not be placed in the middle at this time." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Song Mier was puzzled.

"Rong Chenyu, the cause of this is a bit complicated, and it is also a bit of a coincidence. There is nothing wrong with this song knot flower and deer primrose when observed separately, but if they are put together, the medicinal properties of the two collide, and they have the effect of making people's qi and blood surge and their hearts and lungs depressed. In addition, this winter is getting deeper, the earth dragon in the Queen Mother is burning extraordinarily vigorously, and the charcoal fire is placed next to the Song Knot Flower and the Deer Primrose, and the air is not circulated, the Song Knot and the Deer Cherry Tree are smoked by the heat, and the medicinal power is even more divergent, and they are stuffed in the house and can't get out, and they stay in this room for a long time, and over time they will be even more upset and irritable, and the Queen Mother is dirty and dry, and the snow is worse, so the current situation will appear. However, the Queen Mother does not have to worry, just wait for the ministers to open two prescriptions to decoction, and the house should be more ventilated, and wait for the flowers and plants to move out, and the Queen Mother will be restored in March. ”

Luo Xue, who was still a little disdainful of Meng Xun, heard this, and immediately knelt down, the flowers and plants in the house were all played with by her, never pretending to others, this song knot flower and deer primrose had been in the queen mother's house for an unknown amount of time, and she didn't know what was wrong at that time, who heard someone muttering, ' The color of the deer primrose is the most worthy of the song knot flower', the queen mother loves the song knot the most, so she picked it day and night and placed it, the queen mother looked at the pink and purple song knot with the fluorescent blue deer cherry, and really liked it very much, and also rewarded her with a box of bead flowers, if she knew that this song knot and the deer cherry could not be placed together, even if she was killed, she would not raise this deer primrose. I have been playing with flowers and plants for more than ten years, but I don't want to stumble here, this deer primrose is still a tribute from the Western Regions, everyone is a rare thing to raise, and I was proud, the dozen or so plants planted by myself in the Queen Mother's palace are the best, but I laugh that I think I have a deep knowledge in flowers and plants, and I don't want to know only the fur, and I didn't even know their medicinal properties and hurriedly wanted to please the Queen Mother, if something really happened to the Queen Mother, I should also go to the martyrdom! It's just, who said at that time that the color of the song knot and the deer cherry blossoms are the best, why can't I remember?

The Queen Mother, who originally heard Meng Xun's words, stood up and looked surprised, and when she saw Luoxue kneeling in front of her, she cried so much that she was heartbroken, and sighed in her heart, and asked Yunxi to help Luoxue up.

Luoxue, the child herself, still knows that she came to Shoukang Palace at the age of seven or eight, and she has been in Shoukang Palace for more than ten years, so she doesn't have to question what she thinks, this matter is just her negligence, fortunately, she didn't make any big mistakes, and she didn't have to lose the life of a good girl, and she waited until she was twenty-four, and then released her out of the palace to find a good family for her.

Therefore, seeing that Shen Zhan was angry and was about to have a snowfall, the Queen Mother hurriedly called Shen Zhan, Shen Zhan was stupid, and glanced at Song Mier, who was standing aside with a full of concern, and held her hand tightly, rubbing her thumb constantly, but Song Mier made a red face, and was afraid that Shen Zhan's temperament would come up again, and the palace maid that the queen mother had always favored, which made the queen mother unhappy, so she had to pull herself by Shen Zhan with a red face.

The Queen Mother saw that her son and her favorite daughter-in-law had a harmonious relationship, and she was very satisfied and happy, and even felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a lot. Hurriedly called Luoxue to get up, and supported her to go to the side to guard Meng Xun's prescription, Luoxue knew that this was the Queen Mother defending herself, otherwise, what she did was to kill her and there was nothing to say, and she was even more respectful and grateful to the Queen Mother in her heart, and later gave up her life to protect the Queen Mother, but it was a later story.
