1058, bottoming out
- Aja's tone of voice gradually became hesitant, and cold sweat began to break out on her back in her soap-colored eunuch suit. Nufeng Free Novel Sneak Peek
At this moment, Wang Hong, the second prince who had been sitting quietly on the couch after moistening his throat with warm water, suddenly said loudly: "Ajia, you should retreat first." β
When the eunuch Ajia heard that he had received amnesty, he hurriedly responded, and confessed his sin to Concubine De, so he picked up the iron kettle with a large pot of boiling water, and took the palace maid to clean up the cups on the table, and retreated from the inner room to the outer hall.
Wang Hong suddenly smiled and explained: "This is also the trick that those palace maids think, sometimes the ministers suddenly feel thirsty at night, but the stove in the water room in the outer hall is boiling water, and it can't be warm for a while, and they can't do it like the mother concubine, blowing the water cold, so they thought of this way." β
When Concubine De heard this, her heart moved slightly, and she unconsciously thought of the palace maids in her night. In comparison, although the maids in the Xiaohuai Palace are careful with the rules everywhere, they are also a lot less interesting, and if they are told to go to the left, they will never go to the right. Today's trip to Huayang Palace, although she met a few unruly inferior slaves, but at the same time, she also faintly felt that those palace slaves in her bedroom were all a little well-behaved not like living people, but like wood.
After a moment of silence, Concubine De said thoughtfully: "It seems that these slaves are not at all unaware of caution, and when they poured water just now, they also knew to burn all the cups first. β
At this time, Wang Hong suddenly felt that the time had come, and was about to take advantage of Concubine De's loose mind at the moment to take advantage of the opportunity to say that he had a different opinion on Concubine De's mention just now.
But at this moment, Concubine De spoke before him, but she was about to leave.
"Okay, the concubine won't disturb you here to rest more, so I'll go back." Concubine De said. You have to turn around and go out.
Wang Hong was also about to get up to send him off, but at this time, Concubine De suddenly turned around, raised her sleeves and made a stopping movement, and then she instructed the two palace maids on the left and right: "The prince was injured and lost blood a few days ago, and his body is a little cold, so he must not suffer from the wind and cold again." The two of you go to the closet behind the screen and get another set of silk blankets. Stamp it on the prince. β
The two palace maids hurriedly responded and walked towards the back of the inner room.
When Wang Hong heard this, he was secretly surprised.
In the past, his personal maid Xiaoxing had not left Huayang Palace. He had sent her to monitor Xiaohuai Palace for a few months, so he had long known that there were two kinds of maids around Concubine De, one was the most ordinary palace maid. The other is good at martial arts.
He didn't know if the two palace maids ordered by Concubine De belonged to the category of martial arts, if so. It's just that with their keen awareness of the sound of people's breathing, it is absolutely difficult for the two people hidden in the closet to continue to be invisible.
The inner mood fluctuates too violently, and the slightest revelation on the face is inevitable.
Concubine De looked at Wang Hong, who was halfway up and suddenly froze her figure. I couldn't help but ask: "Huang'er, what's wrong with you?" β
"No ......" realized that the frightened look on his face might have been captured by Concubine De's eyes, and his spirit was too attached to the two people hidden in the closet. Wang Hong suddenly felt that his chest was stagnant, and he couldn't speak. A violent cough rushed up his throat, and he coughed and bowed his back.
Seeing this, Concubine De couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart, and hurriedly walked over, gently stroking his back and smoothing him out, while reproaching because she was worried: "Say be careful not to suffer from the cold, this is coughing, you kid...... For my mother, I'm going to worry about sleepless tonight. β
Wang Hong wanted to say something, but the cough was too intense, and he couldn't hold it down for a while, and even the corners of his eyes were wet.
"Where's the blanket?! What are you rubbing in the back, hurry up and get it! Concubine De yelled at the two palace maids who were holding silk carpets behind the screen.
The two palace maids quickly took the blanket and came back, both of them trembling lightly, and they were a little afraid of approaching Concubine De, so they only handed the blanket over with their heads hanging very low. Concubine De didn't seem to care about any posture for the time being, and grabbed the soft silk blanket as soon as she reached out, and then helped Wang Hong lie back on the couch and covered him with two blankets.
Because there was an extra blanket, which took up some space, Concubine De didn't see a corner of the booklet that was revealed when the brocade was lifted.
When tucking the quilt for Wang Hong, Concubine De pinched the blanket, her face suddenly became annoyed again, and she said to the two palace maids who went to get the blanket just now: "I asked you to take the blanket, and you don't know how to take the thicker one?!" β
The two palace maids shook their bodies when they were reprimanded, and they didn't dare to leak a word, and they were so frightened that they hung their already low heads deeper.
Concubine De glared at the two maidsβregardless of whether they could see it at this timeβand then she looked away, and called the two maids to the back.
The two palace maids who were called to take the quilt were really fast enough, and the quilt they took was thick enough, Concubine De wanted to grab the quilt in her hand as usual, but unexpectedly, the quilt was much heavier than the silk blanket, and she almost fell to the ground without holding it steadily.
She was angry again for a while, and said, "How long has this quilt not been sunburned?" It's as wet as bricks, can this be covered? Go change again! β
With that, she threw the squarely stacked brocade out with a flick of her hand.
The two frightened palace maids who hung their heads seemed to have eyes on their foreheads, and immediately took a step forward, caught the brocade quilt that the master threw off steadily, and then walked quickly towards the wardrobe behind the screen.
At this time, the second prince Wang Hong finally endured the cough with difficulty, and just saw the action of the two palace maids receiving the quilt, he secretly sank, and saw that these two palace maids were the kind of concubines who would know martial arts, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "No need, just cover these two layers, and it is already very warm." β
Concubine De glanced at him sideways, and saw that he spread out his uninjured hand, and said, "The palms of the hands are hot and sweaty." β
Concubine De subconsciously sat down on the edge of the couch, and then held the hand that Wang Hong spread out towards her, and then she felt that Wang Hong's hand was hot. She was shocked, and looked up along Wang Hong's forearm, and it was also hot!
"When did you start having a fever? Can't you even feel the discomfort on your body? Concubine De first scolded Wang Hong anxiously, then she turned her face away and said urgently: "What are you still standing for, go and call the imperial doctor!" β
Two more maids ran out.
After retracting her gaze, Concubine De reached out to probe Wang Hong's forehead again. She couldn't help frowning, and said in surprise: "No wonder the concubine didn't notice it just now, your forehead is a little cold, but your body is hot, what's going on?" β
Wang Hong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, concubine, Erchen doesn't feel so uncomfortable, not to mention that fever at night is a common thing for Erchen before." It's good to take a break. β
"You're just going to tell people not to worry. These people in your palace are used to hearing it, so they really don't worry about it at all! Concubine De reproached worriedly, and then her eyes changed slightly. grabbed Wang Hong's injured hand wrapped in a thick layer of cloth with both hands, and said with a strange look: "Could it be that this external injury has changed?" Ever since you were a child, you've never suffered such a deep sword wound cut into your bones! β
"Mother, this little injury is not in the way. In the evening, when the imperial doctor came to change the dressing. I saw that the wound was almost healed. Wang Hong comforted Concubine De with a smile, and at the same time squinted. I saw that the two palace maids who went to the closet behind the screen to get the quilt had returned.
The two palace maids were holding two stacks of brocade quilts in their arms, and when they saw that Concubine De's love fluctuated greatly at this time, their eyes shrank a little, and they didn't dare to approach lightly. Just slightly lowered his eyes and stood quietly aside, like two bottles of wood carving.
The palace maid went to the last three times in a row, and Wang Hong's mood fluctuated three times. But seeing that they hadn't found the two people outside the palace hiding in the closet three times, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Relax your mind. Wang Hong was a little puzzled again, the palace maids went so often, it was said that the two big living people in the wardrobe would never have escaped, but the two palace maids really just hugged the quilt back.
However, he didn't find that it was much better than catching those two people in front of Concubine De, so Wang Hong didn't think about it much for the time being, and only hoped that Concubine De would go back to her own dormitory soon, so that he could have time to go to the back to take a look in person.
After sorting out his mind a little, Wang Hong looked at Concubine De, and saw that she was holding his injured hand wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, hesitating to do something, and looking like she had nothing to do, he said gently: "Mother, after waiting for the imperial doctor to treat you later, you can also go back and rest quickly." Tomorrow morning, the retainers may get up later, and on the other side of the South Courtyard, the father and the emperor still need to be taken care of by the mother and concubine. β
Concubine De nodded and whispered: "Tomorrow you will have a good rest in the dormitory, and your father and emperor will be taken care of by your mother." The matter of you going to ask your father, the emperor and the concubine every day has been waived for the past few days, and the matter is up to the concubine. β
After saying this, Concubine De sighed, and then she stretched out two fingers, stroked Wang Hong's injured hand gently, and said in a quiet voice: "A few years ago, that day was the birthday of the mother, and you ran to pick the roses in the flower bed as a gift to the mother. You are careful and afraid that your mother will be pricked by the thorns on the flower stalks, so you think that you will take off the thorns first, but you end up pricking your own hands. You have been like this since you were a child, and you always don't know that there are some things that you can call your servants to do, but you have to work hard and hurt yourself. β
Following Concubine De's story, Wang Hong quickly remembered the incident, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. In fact, the experience of picking roses and being pricked by thorns, he committed quite a lot of crimes when he was a child.
"You were pierced by a thorn, so you always hid it and didn't say anything, but I didn't know that my mother knew your temperament, and when she saw you sending flowers, she would definitely catch your hand and check it." After a slight pause, Concubine De continued: "However, I was pricked by a flower thorn, and I picked the thorn with a needle, and it will be fine in two or three days." It's like this wound on your hand now, the injury is so deep, the mother concubine has no choice but to watch and be anxious. When this wound heals, I am afraid that there will be a trace. β
When Concubine De said this, her eyes were already slightly red.
Wang Hong looked at her sadly, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, he moved the hand that was not injured, covered Concubine De's slender hand and clenched it slightly, and said with a smile: "From childhood to adulthood, Erchen will only cause trouble for his mother, what can he do for his mother this time, so what is it to be injured?" If the mother concubine is sad about this matter again, it is equivalent to saying that the son has done something wrong again, which is more distressing to the son than the pain of the wound. β
When Concubine De heard this, she hurriedly picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the wet marks at the corners of her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, the concubine is not sad." β
Looking at Concubine De's tearful and smiling face, she was kind and merciful at this moment, which really matched the appearance of a mother, and Wang Hong's face also showed joy. His mood eased slightly, and the cough that had been suppressed just now came up a little, and he raised the hand that was covering the back of Concubine De's hand, covering his lips and coughing a few times.
His shoulders trembled, and when he lowered his hand, the cotton cloth tucked in his sleeve fell out.
Wang Hong saw the cotton handkerchief slide out of his sleeve, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he grabbed the handkerchief in his hand with his backhand. was about to hide it in the palm of his hand, but he was still a step slow and was seen by Concubine De.
Concubine De's eyes were fixed on the cotton handkerchief that was exposed in half of Wang Hong's palm, and after a while, she moved her gaze back to Wang Hong's face, and said with a smile: "Where did this handkerchief come from, it doesn't seem to be a thing in the palace?" β
All of a sudden. Many thoughts flowed in Wang Hong's mind.
This plain cotton handkerchief. It's too ordinary, and it's only enough to make a rag in the palace, but it's too small. It is impossible for him to find any palace maid to temporarily "top the bag" for Xiaoxing.
After a moment of stunnedness, Wang Hong looked a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "This ...... This is the son picked up......" he said, he moved his finger. Finally clenched the entire handkerchief into a fist.
"Come on, let the concubine take a look. You've picked up something good. Just as Wang Hong was about to stuff the plain cotton handkerchief into his sleeve again, Concubine De had reached over and grabbed his fist holding the handkerchief. Seeing this, he could only loosen his fist smoothly. Concubine De picked up the handkerchief in his palm. As soon as she touched her fingers, she was surprised: "Why is it wet?" What do you do with your wet handkerchief hidden in your sleeve? β
Wang Hong's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he explained: "Erchen wiped his sweat with a handkerchief just now. Cotton cloth does not dry easily. β
Fortunately, this cotton handkerchief has been covered in the sleeve for a long time, otherwise it would have been taken out like it was at the beginning. But it's not as simple as just wiping sweat.
"These things can be done by calling servants, are these palace maids raised by you in Huayang Palace all decorations?" Concubine De pretended to repend, but most of her attention at this time was actually on the Supa, who had no palace atmosphere.
After shaking off the slightly wet handkerchief with her fingertips and scanning it intently for a moment, Concubine De really found a petal embroidered on the corner of the veil. Although this embroidery is also very simple, only one color of silk thread is used, and the stitching method of the embroidery is also very simple parallel stitches, but it is enough to prove that this veil is a woman's thing.
The handkerchief used by a woman appeared in the hands of a prince, and this handkerchief was too simple, as if it was owned by a folk woman, but it was hidden by a noble prince who lived in the palace with a nervous expression. Between this Pa and one person, there seems to be some kind of story.
At this time, there was not the slightest trace of anything unusual in the inner room of the dormitory, so that Concubine De had room to think about the secret agent of the Forbidden Palace, she was just a little cheesy, but also human, and thought of a certain aspect, so she said softly with an inquiring smile: "Emperor, how did you get this handkerchief, you are not allowed to hide it from the concubine." β
Wang Hong coughed dryly, not knowing if Concubine De had already walked into the fork in the road she had dug herself, so she asked implicitly tentatively: "Why did the concubine say this, Erchen just said it, and she picked it up." β
"You, you have never lied in front of your mother, such a handkerchief, even the most despicable palace maids in the palace will not use it, where can you pick it up?" When Concubine De said this, she covered her lips and laughed, "You are still hiding in front of your mother, I think you are not hiding a thing, but a person, right?" β
If the palace maid accompanying Concubine De went to get the quilt just now and caught the two people hidden in the row of wardrobes behind the screen, Concubine De would definitely make Wang Hong's heart jump if she said this again.
But now he can be more confident that no matter what tricks the two people in the closet play, they will not be discovered by Concubine De's palace maid, so he can rest assured and can deal with Concubine De's inquiries more calmly.
From Concubine De's words just now, Wang Hong heard the result he hoped to design, and he was slightly happy in his heart, and the next arrangement was much simpler.
"Mother, the son told the truth, don't be angry." Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Wang Hong continued: "This ...... This handkerchief was picked up by Erchen outside the palace. At the beginning of the year, Erchen learned that the imperial sister was going to go out of the palace to visit the Lantern Festival during the Midyear Festival, so he begged her for several days, and finally got her consent and took Erchen out of the palace for a trip. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the streets were very lively, so I don't know which girl left her handkerchief......"
While Wang Hong spoke, his eyes drooped slightly, and he was faintly ashamed.
When Concubine De saw this scene, she was even more sure of her thoughts. Although she was indeed a little annoyed, the second prince actually went to the palace to play outside the palace without her, what if something happened? But when she thought that this child was also beginning to be ignorant, this was a gratifying growth, a smile appeared in her eyes again, and Wen Yan said: "It must be the child of Doctor Ye's family who ran into the palace to make trouble, I didn't expect to take you out of the palace this time, and wait for Nan Nizi to enter the palace again next time." Bengong will definitely give her a good women's training lesson, and she has been studying for a few years in vain in the women's school. β
Wang Hong hurriedly added: "Mother concubine must not, the affairs of the Midyear Festival were all agreed to by the sons and daughters." That matter is said to be hidden from everyone, if they are punished for this, I am afraid that they will not even dare to step on the door of Huayang Palace in the future, who else can Erchen find to relieve their boredom in the future? β
Plus this remark. Let's make preparations here first. When she goes to the princess Wang Qing again, even if the princess denies it unknowingly, it will not cause people to question it.
Concubine De didn't think so much at this time. When she was just listening to Wang Hong's words, a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, and she said with a smile: "You are the prince, and you are worried that you can't find someone to relieve your boredom?" The mother saw it. You already have someone in your heart. It's just...... After all, this person outside the palace has a lower status and is not worthy of you. Here's what happened. The concubine will discuss with your father another day. You have also reached the age when it is time to choose a concubine, and this matter will be reported to the Ministry of Rites for discussion at a later date. The girls of the noble families in Kyoto are suitable for marriage, and the mother concubine has already helped you pay attention......"
Unexpectedly, this topic had just opened a gap, and Concubine De suddenly made so many preparations. It seemed that she was really ready to do this thing, but Wang Hong was a little at a loss, and hurriedly persuaded her with some nervousness: "Mother." Erchen doesn't want to choose a concubine yet. β
"Huh? Let the Ministry of Rites compile and hand over the list of noble ladies and hand it over, so that you can take a look at it first. That doesn't get in anyone's way. If there are no nobles in Kyoto who you can see, then the position of the main concubine can also be vacant first, but the side concubine has to choose one or two wonderful people. When Concubine De said this, she paused slightly, with a slight smile on her face, and then continued: "As for the one you pay attention to outside the palace, if you can't let go, tell the mother concubine which family she is, and the mother concubine will go to tell your father and emperor that it is impossible to give her a knighthood and a seat in the sky, but you can still reward her, take her to the palace, and be your personal maid." β
Hearing Concubine De's words, Wang Hong couldn't help but think silently in his heart: When it comes to personal maids, who can be as delicate and considerate as his little star?
Seeing Wang Hong's slightly stunned appearance, Concubine De asked again: "Don't hide it anymore, let's say, who is that girl?" β
"......" Wang Hong retracted his thoughts, looked at Concubine De, and was a little speechless for a while.
Who is that girl? There is no girl outside the palace at all, how should he make it up?
Just when Wang Hong was a little speechless and the inner room of the dormitory was completely quiet, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near outside the hall, which eased Wang Hong's embarrassment. The lights outside the door flickered, and when they went out at the door, it was two palace maids with lanterns who invited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
After the imperial doctor made a big salute to Concubine De and the prince, Concubine De temporarily left from the couch and sat down at the table. A eunuch brought a round stool and put it on the side of the couch, and the imperial doctor sat down, took out a soft silk sac from the medicine box, put it under Wang Hong's outstretched wrist, and then put two fingers on it and began to diagnose the pulse.
After only a few moments, the results of the pulse diagnosis came out, and the imperial doctor's reply was no different from what Wang Hong had just said, it was nothing more than a doctor's order to rest and recuperate.
In fact, Wang Hong has been familiar with such medical orders from the imperial doctor since he was a child, and he can almost recite them. Why can different imperial doctors diagnose him so consistently, he is also very clear in his heart that the frailty that has plagued him for many years is actually a deficiency disease brought out of the mother's womb, there is a problem with the physical foundation, and the auxiliary power of any medicine is not enough.
The imperial doctor prescribed a nourishment prescription and a soothing prescription, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
After Concubine De saw the two prescriptions, she stopped the imperial doctor and questioned: "This kind of prescription is often taken by the prince, but the medical officer takes a closer look, the prince is sweating and has a fever, how can these two ordinary prescriptions be treated?" Did the medical officer miss something? β
The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then carefully observed Wang Hong in a blink of an eye, and then swept his eyes over the two palace maids who were each holding a stack of brocade quilts on the side, and finally returned to Concubine De's face, and said slowly: "The current season is approaching the end of spring, and the temperature is gradually rising, is Your Highness a little thick?" β
Concubine De explained: "When the palace first arrived, the prince was already sweating, but his forehead was a little cold. But later, Bengong found out that his body was actually very hot, didn't the medical officer think that this symptom was very serious? β
The imperial doctor stroked his beard lightly and pondered: "Xiaguan just checked the pulse of His Highness, and he didn't find anything unusual. In addition, since your Highness was young, your body was prone to sudden heat. However, it tends to subside naturally after a short period of time. Hypohidrosis needs to be recuperated slowly, and it is not urgent for a while. β
Even if it is to serve the noble royal family, as a senior doctor, the most trusted is the classics left by the ancestors of medical Taoism for hundreds of years, and the most confident is the medical skills that he has studied with his heart. Even if the patient questioned it, and even the emperor himself came to reprimand him. This principle will not change.
Facing Concubine De's unkind gaze. The Imperial Physician was still able to maintain his mental composure, both for his confident medical skills and for the basis of his medical practice, which was not to disturb his own position and affect his judgment of the disease. He had to do it.
After a pause, the imperial doctor said, "Sweaty clothes must be changed in time to avoid the real wind and cold." β
This was originally a trivial matter that had nothing to do with medical skills, and since the prince's adoptive mother was here. I'm sure I'll be able to cook it. However, the heart of the healer's parents, the imperial doctor hesitated for a moment. Or one more piece of advice.
Concubine De felt that the imperial doctor's advice was very redundant, as if she was making up words to send her, and she still didn't feel at ease. But she really didn't know anything about medical Taoism, so she couldn't come up with strong evidence to accuse the imperial doctor of misjudgment.
To know. Today's emperor and her husband respect the two kinds of untitled people in the world the most, one is the teacher who imparts knowledge, and the other is the doctor who saves the life and helps the wounded. Because of that. The imperial doctor, who was humiliated by the aristocracy in the previous dynasty, still did not have the power to interfere in the actual government in the new dynasty. But walking inside and outside the palace, his identity is much brighter.
The emperor gave the imperial doctor a kind of honor, no matter how noble, when he met the imperial doctor, after receiving the great gift of the prince and noble, he would also pay homage to the strange man.
Concubine De knew that this was a rule set by the emperor himself, so she couldn't summon the imperial doctor like a palace servant. As for the worry that she couldn't let go of in her heart, after thinking for a while, she tried her best to slow down her tone and added: "This palace is always a little worried, the injury on the prince's hand ......"
The imperial doctor bowed slightly and said: "Back to Concubine De Niangniang, the injury on the hand of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the lower official also heard from his colleague Doctor Ji in the Imperial Medical Bureau. According to Doctor Ji's judgment, His Royal Highness's injury was indeed too deep into the texture, but fortunately, it did not hurt the meridians on his hands, and after the injury healed, it would not leave hidden dangers to the activities of the five fingers, so Niangniang could rest assured. β
Concubine De had heard the same words more than once, and she didn't feel much of this comfort.
Sighing softly, Concubine De said casually: "Originally, the opening in the prince's hand seemed to be about to close, but he went out of the palace in the afternoon and accidentally broke it again." This is all bad in the palace, so he shouldn't be allowed to leave the palace. β
"Niangniang is talking about what happened in the Hengtai Pavilion in the afternoon......" The imperial doctor's words were only halfway through, and he suddenly stopped by himself, he suddenly remembered something else, hissed and breathed, and said at a very slow pace: "In the afternoon, Doctor Ji has been sorting out the batch of medicinal materials newly purchased into the palace yesterday with Xia Guan in the pharmacy of the Taiyi Bureau, and left the Taiyi Bureau in the evening, and it seems that it was Doctor Chen who went to the Southern Hospital to diagnose His Majesty's pulse......"
Concubine De could vaguely hear a hint of heresy from the imperial doctor's words, and immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "It is indeed Medical Officer Chen who went to the Southern Courtyard, is there any problem with this?" β
The imperial doctor asked: "Niang Niang just said that the wound on the hand of the Second Highness was split once, so the doctor who bandaged the Second Highness again in the evening was not Doctor Zhao, who has been in charge of this matter for the past few days, but Doctor Chen?" β
Concubine De nodded, and then said with a suspicious expression: "Whether it is Medical Officer Chen or Medical Officer Zhao, they are both good assistants for the royal family's medical treatment, and whoever treats the prince is not equally conscientious?" β
"Xia Guan doesn't mean to say that Doctor Chen is not responsible, but it is taboo to change the original doctor in the middle of this treatment process." There are many theories, this imperial doctor didn't repeat them, but only went straight to the point, "The wound on the hand of the Second Highness has almost healed, and if it is cracked again, the wound will be much smaller than the original." According to Dr. Chen's usual treatment methods, he will add a dish of 'monkey grass' to the trauma medicine. This herb is effective in speeding up wound healing, but because of this, the user will have a slight fever in the body for a day or two, which is also the reason for the rapid growth of the new muscle in the injured area. β
The imperial doctor spoke very carefully, but Concubine De only memorized two words from his words, and immediately said with some displeasure: "A little fever? Do you know how hot the prince is now? It's not that you don't know that the prince's physique is different from ordinary people, and he needs to be more careful with medicine, but it is best not to use any medicine with side effects. Did Dr. Chen's medical skills regress, or did he drink today? β
The imperial doctor, who had explained a lot of theories, frowned when he heard this. Secretly Dao himself was almost negligent, he shouldn't have explained so much to this person outside of the medical Dao, even if she was His Majesty's favorite imperial concubine. If she is allowed to grasp a few words, I am afraid that Dr. Chen has suffered innocently for this, and she will feel embarrassed when she meets him in the future.
After a moment of silence, the Imperial Physician regained his composure. Straightened up slightly. Said calmly: "The experience of using 'Monkey Pu Grass' is quite rich, and it is categorical that there will be no adverse effects of such a strict zhΓ²ng, so Xia Guan has thought about it again and again. I think of a taboo about using 'monkey grass'. Forgive the official for being rude, dare to ask Concubine De Niangniang, what kind of ingredients did His Royal Highness use for today's dinner? β
Concubine De's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and she didn't answer. Just turned his face away and glanced at the palace maids of Huayang Palace who were standing aside.
The three palace maids all saw what happened to the palace maid who held the lamp before. At this time, as soon as he touched Concubine De's sweeping gaze, he immediately had an ominous premonition. They knew that there were some things that even His Royal Highness the Second Prince would not favor, but they couldn't avoid it, and the three of you, you look at me, I see you hesitate and struggle for a moment. Finally, one of them stepped forward and said cowardly, "Your Highness drank a cup of ginseng soup. β
It's just ginseng soup, which is still the kind that the prince usually drinks. What could go wrong?
This was supposed to be a harmless diet, and the palace maids never thought that something would go wrong with it. But at this time, the palace maid who replied was forced by Concubine De's gaze, as if she meant that she brought a cup of boiled water to serve the prince to drink, which was equivalent to sending a cup of arsenic to the prince.
The second prince, Wang Hong, sat on the couch in the soft brocade quilt, and after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, he had been quietly listening to the conversation between Concubine De and the imperial doctor. He originally thought that the imperial doctor's diagnosis was fine and that he would leave soon, and Concubine De would not stay longer, but he didn't expect that the conversation between the two would unconsciously pull on the palace maids in his palace.
At Concubine De's place just now, he finally managed to earn some value for the maids in Huayang Palace to continue to stay, but he didn't expect that there would be an incident now. If it is allowed to be extended, Concubine De will definitely not let go of the plan of the Huayang Palace's maidservants and maids.
Before he could think about it more, the second prince Wang Hong suddenly said loudly: "I don't have much appetite in this palace for dinner today, I just want to rest early." The ginseng soup is made in the dining room of the main palace, and it is relatively simple to eat, and it is also the kind that is often drunk on weekdays, so what can be the problem? β
Just now, he also suddenly added a sentence when Concubine De was talking to others, but it was a sentence that indirectly sent the innocent lantern maid to the Huanyi Bureau to do hard labor. And this time, it was also suddenly spoken, but the artistic conception was very different.
The palace maid who replied to Concubine De pursed her lips tightly, she was a little grateful in her heart, but at this moment she didn't dare to show the slightest affection in front of Concubine De.
The imperial doctor first waved his hand to the second prince, and then explained slowly: "Ginseng soup is a great tonic and positive yang qi, and it is indeed a healthy medicinal diet suitable for the second highness to eat regularly. However, the warm and tonic properties of ginseng soup will aggravate the symptoms of fever caused by 'monkey grass'. The medicinal properties are blocked, which is similar to not taking mung bean soup during the period of taking medicine, and the lower official advised His Royal Highness that he should stop taking ginseng soup in the past few days. β
"With the medical officer's reminder, presumably all the maids in Huayang Palace will not make this mistake again." While the second prince Wang Hong spoke, his eyes looked around, "Have you all heard the words of the medical officer?" β

In short, it is necessary to try our best to suppress Concubine De's idea of preparing to "clean" Huayang Palace, this disaster of ginseng soup, how far can it be kicked, even if it is for the time being, it will make Medical Officer Chen feel a little wronged. However, my father has always been respectful to doctors, and even if the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau occasionally make mistakes negligently, they will only be punished lightly, right?
After listening to the prince's words, the imperial doctor's face turned slightly pale, knowing that his plan to expose Doctor Chen was bound to be miscalculated, so he had to lower his eyes and say: "The gold sore medicine is only used after it is prepared, it may be that Doctor Chen was careless about the formula details." His Majesty was in the peak of spring and autumn, the Holy Body was strong, and there were very few medical missions, and this evening Physician Chen was suddenly transmitted, presumably because he was worried about the Holy Lord, which caused the loss of a ......."
Before the imperial doctor's words were finished, Concubine De suddenly became angry and said out of thin air: "How can a medical hall with such an impetuous mood be of great use?
