Chapter 556: The Ghost Doctor Leaves Beijing
Empress Xue and the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in just two months, went from being shocked by the government and the opposition to slowly becoming a topic that the people talked about after dinner.
And after a few years, I am afraid that this incident will no longer be mentioned except for a few lines of text in the history books.
The dead will eventually turn into bones, and the living will naturally continue to walk step by step.
In the world of the harem, with the death of Xue Yi, except for Su Qin, who is pregnant, occasionally pampered and arrogantly makes some trouble, the rest are extremely quiet and peaceful.
As for Empress Chen, who intended to target Xiao Jinxuan, as well as Xiangping Ji Lingfeng and others, there have been no major moves in the past two months.
But this silence always makes people faintly feel that there is an illusion that danger is closer.
And at present, Xiao Jinxuan, who has been relieved of the power of the palace, is completely ignorant of all this.
During this time, she has been in a state of recuperation, so she doesn't know most of the things that have been known about her life experience. In fact, Xiao Jinxuan when she was in the Shuai Mansion before, because of the dangers around her, she also had to constantly enhance her strength, so Xiao Jinxuan would deliberately pay attention to all the transformations around her.
But now Xiao Jinxuan, she has long thought that she is not the mentality of the year, because she has no intention of staying in the harem for a long time, and she will inevitably leave sooner or later.
Therefore, it is enough to ensure that Zhaoyang Palace is unhindered in her opinion, as for the things outside the dormitory, she doesn't want to be too distracted and accelerate the deterioration of her condition now, so she basically doesn't care about it.
Unless Shen Wenqing really had something tricky to deal with and came to look for her, Xiao Jinxuan didn't ask or listen, and completely lived a life of idleness and recuperation in Zhaoyang Palace.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't been out of Zhaoyang Palace for a month and didn't want to get into trouble, got up very early today, and accompanied by Wen Xin, went straight to the Imperial Medical Office.
After the effort of a candle incense passed, Xiao Jinxuan got off the sedan chair and entered the imperial medical office, and then came to the courtyard where Old Man Ding lived.
When she saw this master, who was busy sorting out bottles and cans, and kept putting them in the Zhulou medicine box, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but step forward and said:
"For Jinxuan, you have to call the master, you have brought all the clothes and silver you should have. Rush to the Crescent Moon City at the border between Daliang and my Great Zhou, this is a long way to go, and Master Wanwang must take care of his health. If you always have a mistake in order to find the purple bamboo rice for Jinxuan, that apprentice will have a hard time in his heart for the rest of his life. ”
Seeing that it was Xiao Jinxuan coming, Old Man Ding was obviously quite happy, but when he heard the other party's words, it was too sentimental, Ding Yizhen said with a calm smile:
"Jinxuan, you don't have to worry about me, at the beginning, Emperor Qi sent an official letter to the provinces and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that as soon as there is news of the flowering of purple bamboo in the locality, it must be sent back to the imperial court in eight hundred miles. Originally, a few months have passed for the teacher, but there is no news from the sea. I was thinking that I would not continue to wait in Da Zhou and go out to help you find medicine, but I didn't want the news of Crescent City to come again. And as a teacher, I also have a wish in this life, that is, to be able to refine the miraculous medicine of Yama Luo Tears with my own hands. Therefore, this trip is a teacher, I must go, I hope that the heavens will hang the curtain, so that the purple bamboo that blooms in Crescent City can bear fruit. ”
After talking to Xiao Jinxuan, the old man Ding, who had also sorted out his luggage, couldn't help but raise his head, and instructed with a rather uneasy expression:
"Jinxuan, you must remember that the medicinal bath fumigation must be done every ten days now to control the toxins that the Xue Ning Pill has accumulated in your body. If you can't do it three times a month, you're bound to have another toxin attack and cause a coma. In addition, if you have a weakened memory, and your brain is also eroded by toxins if you are not careful, then you will be forgetful and amnesiac, and you will probably be poisoned to death if you are responsible. Now that I have handed over the breeding method of the five poisons to you, you must take care of yourself, and wait for the teacher to bring you back the purple bamboo rice, and then you will not have to suffer from the medicinal bath. ”
Old man Ding has accepted a total of three apprentices in his life, including Xiao Jinxuan, and the first two are completely because of his extremely high talent in medicine, so he can worship under his disciples.
As for Xiao Jinxuan, she is so busy every day that she can't even take care of rest, and Old Man Ding will accept her as an apprentice, which is completely a kind of fate.
He saw this tenacious girl who refused to admit defeat for the first time, and he liked it very much, so he blindly rushed to be Xiao Jinxuan's master, so among the three apprentices, he could be said to cherish the other party the most.
Therefore, the illness of this little apprentice, Old Man Ding always felt that if he couldn't be cured, the name of the ghost doctor would be in vain, so he was also extremely concerned about this matter.
And listening to Old Man Ding's instructions, Xiao Jinxuan, who has been with the other party for so long, is actually quite reluctant to this master in her heart.
After she had memorized Ding Yizhen's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but hold the other party's arm, and continued to humbly ask for advice while walking outside the Imperial Medical Office:
"Master, because you said that our ancestor of the pulse of medicine has training and cannot be passed on, so as soon as you left Beijing, you handed me the formula for Emperor Qi to heal the heart and lungs and the decoction that the other party drank. But Jin Xuan is actually not proficient in medical skills at all, and you once taught your disciples that if this herb is used incorrectly, it will become a harmful poison. Although I have learned from you many times, Emperor Qi is the king of a country, and he is still worried that he will not be able to cope with it, so can't he really ask other imperial doctors to do it for him? ”
But as soon as he heard this, Old Man Ding, who had always behaved roughly, shook his head directly this time in a very principled manner, and hurriedly said:
"If Jinxuan is anything else, it's easy to say, the prescription of the teacher's single line must not be passed on, otherwise I don't know how to meet your Taishi ancestor that day when I close my eyes as a teacher. And you don't need to worry, apprentice, I have also taught you to identify the few medicinal materials you need, as long as you boil them according to the dose, there is no possibility of mistakes. Anyway, Emperor Qi's nourishing heart and lungs should be done by you as an apprentice, but it must not be passed on, and you must agree to be a teacher. ”
Seeing that it was rare for Old Man Ding to show such a solemn expression, Xiao Jinxuan naturally nodded in agreement, and would never lose proportion on such a matter of principle.
In fact, it stands to reason that Xiao Jinxuan is now a member of the harem after all, she originally wanted to send Old Man Ding out of the imperial city, so she returned to Zhaoyang Palace, and the words and deeds of the province caused trouble again.
But who knew that when she sent Ding Yizhen all the way to the gate of the imperial city, she found that Zhou Xianyu was waiting there, and when the other party saw them, he turned over and dismounted to meet them.
"Uncle Ding, Xuan'er, I'll be waiting for you here for a while. Uncle Shi is going to Crescent City for Jinxuan's illness this time, and his nephew will definitely keep this kindness in his heart. There's nothing I can do for you, after thinking about it, I ordered a carriage with a thick bottom and not too bumpy, and I hope Uncle Shi won't work too the way. ”
Zhou Xianyu, who had negotiated with Yeying half a month ago, came back from the envoy, although he was still busy in the previous dynasty, but the old man Ding left the palace today, and he still deliberately took time to come over to see him off.
And following the direction of his finger, everyone also saw a brand-new mahogany carriage, parked under the palace gate.
Immediately got such a satisfactory carriage, Old Man Ding couldn't help nodding with satisfaction, and patted Zhou Xianyu's shoulder and said:
"Boy, you still have a conscience, if the purple bamboo blossoms in Crescent City really bear fruit this time, then Uncle Shi promised you that I will definitely refine Yama Luo tears and help Jinxuan completely eradicate the stubborn disease. As for how busy you are in the past, don't forget to care about me. Her situation in the harem is not as easy as you think. You have to remember what the old man said, otherwise if Jinxuan suffers a little grievance when I come back, then the old man will definitely poison your food. ”
Old man Ding's temperament is a bit of an old child, so his deliberately fierce words have no deterrent effect after saying them.
But in Zhou Xianyu's heart, taking care of Xiao Jinxuan is his business, and he is also clear about the unhappiness between the other party and Chen Hou, as well as the dispute with Zhou Xianrui.
Therefore, looking at Xiao Jinxuan, out of taboo, she will return to Zhaoyang Palace when she is sent to the gate of the Imperial City Palace.
Zhou Xianyu, who felt that the other party's temperament was becoming more and more quiet in the palace now, immediately stopped Xiao Jinxuan, and proposed with a smile:
"Jinxuan, Uncle Ding can't come back for most of the year if he doesn't make a good move, how can you, as an apprentice, send the other party out of Jingshi. Or you can go out of the palace together, it happens to be September now, I'll take you to see how Qiu Ju is in the city. You don't need to worry about the harem, if the queen mother is really dissatisfied, you can just ask her to come to me. ”
Xiao Jinxuan is reluctant to move around inside and outside the palace now, not only because Empress Chen always takes the opportunity to target, but also because she wants to raise her body, which has been in fatigue.
So with the mentality that more is better than less, Xiao Jinxuan originally didn't want to leave the palace.
But before she could say this, when she looked up to meet Zhou Xianyu's expectant eyes and a cautious look on her face, even though she knew that the other party was deliberately using this expression to make her soft-hearted.
But if Xiao Jinxuan refused, she still reluctantly nodded in agreement, and got into Old Man Ding's carriage and went out of the palace with them.
After sending Old Man Ding all the way outside Changping City, Xiao Jinxuan also got out of the carriage, and the slight blessing was regarded as the last practice for this master.
And Old Man Ding sat in the position of driving the car, as if he was not worried about the juniors, so he nagged and instructed the elders endlessly, and talked for a while.
Finally, Old Man Ding took out a bottle the size of an amethyst snuffbox from the medicine box beside him, handed it to Xiao Jinxuan and said:
"The old man is gone, and it will take some time to come back. But I look at Jinxuan, you are now in the harem, although you don't have the rival of Empress Xue, but the queen mother is far less close to you than before. And this small bottle contains a poison test water, whether it is food or utensils, as long as you feel that it is not safe, then drop a little bit of this potion, if it is really poisonous, it will inevitably change color. You have to put away this thing apprentice, and the provincial one was assassinated in the harem without knowing it. ”
