The forty-fifth round, knocking and buying
"Childe, if you talk to those two imperial doctors like this, I'm afraid they will be unhappy." Mei Ruo took advantage of the fact that no one was there to remind Rong Zhao in a whisper.
Rong Zhao chuckled and hooked Mei Ruo's pointed chin, and said with a smile: "Ruo'er, even you can't see that I did it on purpose?" It can be seen that Ben Gongzi's acting skills are getting better and better. ”
"Childe? You did it on purpose?! Mei Ruo's eyes widened in surprise, and she really couldn't figure out what Rong Zhao was trying to do.
"If they have already taken other people's benefits to harm their sister, naturally they don't need me to flatter and please, because after all, we are newcomers, and compared to the foundation in this palace, we are afraid that we are not even as good as a eunuch. On the contrary, if they hadn't been bought and used by anyone and had the heart of a healer, they would naturally not have made a black hand to the newly sealed Concubine Yue because of a gentleman like me who didn't know the severity of the words. Rong Zhao said, raised his hand and pinched Mei Ruo's cheek again, and with a flirtatious smile on the corner of his mouth, he glanced at a little eunuch who came in with a tray, and asked, "Silly girl, do you understand?" ”
Mei Ruo nodded shyly: "Gongzi Xie's teachings, the slave and maid understand." ”
The little eunuch who came in came forward with a smile on his face, bowed down and said, "Lord Shizi, this is the boiled ginger jujube tea that Gonggong Chen asked us to stew in the dining room, you can take two sips while it's hot." ”
"Look, the people who serve in the palace are just different, how thoughtful! You've got to learn. Rong Zhao stretched out his hand to take the ginger jujube tea, but turned his head to teach Mei Ruo.
"The lesson of the son is that the slave and maid should learn from the father-in-law." Mei Ruo copied the little eunuch as she responded, took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it over, and said with a light smile: "Thank you father-in-law for thinking about our son-in-law." ”
"Oh, that's embarrassing." The eunuch obviously didn't expect that he could get a reward for sending a ginger jujube tea, and he was really embarrassed for a while.
"It's okay, if you don't accept it, our son will be embarrassed! The eldest girl in our family will have to endure this illness for a few days, and there will be troublesome days for her father-in-law in the future. Mei Ruo smiled gently.
The eunuch secretly checked his purse, and he didn't want to spit out the fat in his mouth, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "In this way, the slave will thank the prince of the world." ”
"You're welcome." Rong Zhao smiled faintly.
"If there is anything to the prince, even if you tell the minions, the minions will do their best." The little eunuch said with a smile.
Rong Zhao smiled kindly, nodded and said, "Okay." In the future, you must not trouble your father-in-law. ”
"That's okay, the son is busy, and the slave will retire first." The little eunuch owed again, smiled at Mei Ruo, turned around and retreated.
"Childe?" Mei Ruo looked at Rong Zhao tentatively.
Rong Zhao nodded slightly, Mei Ruo smiled and retreated silently.
But one hour, Chen Xiaocun personally came in with a bowl of decoction and medicine for Rong Yue to take. Because this is the palace, it is no more restricted than the houses in the small inn on the road, so Rong Zhao, as a foreign man, is not good to serve by Rong Yue's side, so he has to wait outside with Rong Hui, while Lu Yun is still on the road because he can't stand the bumps because of his injury, so there are only Lan Yun and Bai Shao in front of Rong Yue's bed. Chen Cunxiao sent the tray to the bed with both hands, Lan Yun took the decoction handed over by Chen Xiaocun, first put it to his mouth and tasted it shallowly, frowned slightly and asked, "Why is this medicine so bitter?" ”
"Has Miss Li'er forgotten about this good medicine?" Chen Cunxiao asked softly.
"It's true that good medicine is bitter, but this medicine is too hard to drink." Bai Shao said, turning her head to look at the beaded curtain in the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Rong Zhao asked outside.
"Lord Shizi, this girl said that the medicine is too bitter and does not feed the mother...... At this time, the workers and mothers are burning in a daze, so it is important to hurry up and feed the medicine! Chen Cunxiao glanced at Bai Shao dissatisfied.
"Really?" Rong Zhao frowned, raised his feet and entered the bedroom, took the medicine bowl from Bai Shao's hand and put it between his nose to sniff the medicine first, and then frowned and said, "I'll taste it...... Hmm, why is it so bitter! ”
The imperial doctor next to him explained with slight dissatisfaction: "With the addition of yellow lotus here, it is naturally more bitter than ordinary decoctions." But Niangniang feels cold on the outside and has heat inside, and now she is hot and dizzy, and her heart is hot, this yellow lotus is the most suitable. ”
Rong Zhao tasted the decoction carefully, and after not finding anything wrong, he handed the medicine bowl to Bai Shao, and instructed: "Help my sister up and feed the medicine, I bother Gonggong Chen to ask someone to prepare some rock sugar, and wait for my sister to drink this decoction and give her a piece of it in her mouth to remove the bitter taste." ”
"Don't worry, we have hawthorn candied fruit here, which is specially prepared to send this bitter medicine juice to the girls." Chen Xiaocun said, and instructed the little eunuch behind him, "Why don't you go and get it quickly?" ”
At that moment, Rong Zhao watched Bai Shao, Lan Yun and Mei Ruo feed most of the bowl of decoction into Rong Yue's mouth little by little, during this period, Rong Yue opened her eyes in a daze and called Rong Zhao's name, and asked where she was now and fell asleep in a groggy state.
"Let the mother sleep for a while, if you sweat, the heat will subside." Chen Xiaocun said.
"Okay." Rong Zhao was not at ease in his heart, but he couldn't find any flaws, so he had to nod and turn around.
Rong Yue drank the decoction, sweated all over, and woke up on the second watch, but her nose was stuffy and her head was splitting, and she vomited after eating half a bowl of clear porridge. Lan Yun was so anxious that she called someone to send the imperial doctor to come. Rong Zhao, who was on duty in the side hall, heard the movement and hurriedly put on a cloak and rushed over to visit, but saw that Rong Yue's face was as pale as paper, his forehead was soaked with sweat and sticky on his forehead, and his big eyes, which were originally radiant, were slightly closed at this time, and his eye circles and nose were red and looked extremely pitiful.
"Sister? What do you think? Rong Zhao stepped forward to sit on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Rong Yue's forehead, at this time the high fever really subsided, and Rong Yue's forehead was still a little wet, cold as water.
Rong Yue heard Rong Zhao's voice and slowly opened her eyes to look at him, and smiled weakly: "I'm fine, Zhao'er don't worry." ”
"This high fever has subsided, but why did you eat something and vomit it again?!" Rong Zhao was so anxious in his heart, thinking that it would be good if Zi Ji was here! Although he himself was a successful pharmacist in his previous life, he studied chemical and Western medicine, and now he can only distinguish what ingredients are in these Chinese herbal soups, and whether they are harmful to the body, but it is difficult to grasp whether the pharmacology is right or not. At this moment, Rong Zhao deeply regretted that he had not studied the pathology of Chinese medicine before, and only knew how to eat, drink, and study those poisons and toxins. Traveled in vain!
