Xia Zhengshu grew up day by day, and the expression on his face became more and more like Qu Hao, which made Xia Ji, who watched him grow up, always think of his father because of him.

Pinching her fingers, Xia Ji was shocked to find that it had been more than a year since she came to ancient China.

At this time, it was late autumn, and the maple leaves on the mountain next to the bamboo garden were dyed red, which reminded Xia Ji of Du Mu's two poems: Stop and sit in love with the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are red in February.

Although Xia Ji is accustomed to ancient life, whether it is dressing up or eating and living, she also knows that this kind of local customs is also a last resort.

She still thinks about being able to enjoy the modern daily necessities that are still in Wu and live a comfortable ancient slow life.

One day, Uncle Xia Yu told Xia Ji that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and they had to go and see, Xia Ji heard that this was a good time to see Concubine Hui, so she brought a few bottles of homemade perfume, and by the way, she also brought some antibiotic drugs, thinking that maybe she could use it, and entered the palace with Uncle Xia Yu.

Xia Ji followed Uncle Xia into the inner palace and came to the Queen Mother's sickbed, and Uncle Xia Yu took Xia Ji's hand to greet her old man.

The Queen Mother was pale, and it was a little difficult to breathe when she was lying flat, so she was very sick.

Seeing that Uncle Xia and Xia Ji came to see her, the Queen Mother struggled to stand up.

Uncle Xia Yushu hurriedly stopped it, leaving the Queen Mother still lying down, and then both of them said some comforting words to the Queen Mother.

Xia Ji saw the imperial doctor waiting next to her, so she stepped forward to ask him about the condition of the queen mother, and according to the condition described by the imperial doctor, she judged that the queen mother was pneumonia caused by viral influenza.

The disease is very dangerous in the absence of antibiotics.

Although Xia Ji had antibiotics to treat the Queen Mother, Xia Ji was suffering from her lack of medical qualifications and could not administer medicine, and no one in King Chen's palace knew that she had treated patients, so she had to find another way.

Uncle Xia Yu and Xia Ji came to the lobby after exiting from Wang Taihao's room, where their in-laws were all waiting, one was that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, and the other was that the Chen Communist Guild personally visited.

Although Gonggong Chen was not there at this time, his queen and several concubines were waiting there, and Concubine Hui was also among them, so it could be seen that everyone was a little anxious.

Uncle Xia Yu and Xia Ji saluted these in-laws one by one, and then waited there quietly.

Half an hour later, the monarch Chen Gonggong arrived, and he didn't greet everyone, and rushed directly into the inner room to see his mother.

After a while, Jun Shang walked out and shouted at the several imperial doctors who followed him to the lobby, scolding them for being incompetent quacks.

And these poor imperial doctors all drooped their heads, looking dejected and helpless.

Xia Ji sympathized with these imperial doctors, under the primitive medical conditions, the imperial doctors of the court did not have the foundation to understand the pathology, nor did they have the means to treat many incurable diseases, and they had to bear too much pressure.

After venting, Chen Gonggong asked the first assistant imperial doctor: "You say, can the queen mother's illness be cured?"

The first assistant imperial physician was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, and after seeing him trembling and kneeling, he said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for my incompetence."

Chen Gonggong was very angry, and pointed to the several imperial doctors behind him and said, "You few, who can cure the Queen Mother?" and heal the widow with five hundred taels of gold. ”

The imperial doctors were all silent.

Chen Gonggong was annoyed, looked around the entire hall with his hand, and said, "All of you, who can cure the Queen Mother?" The widow is willing to reward a thousand taels of gold. ”

The imperial doctor didn't dare to reveal the list, let alone these concubines and relatives.

Just when everyone thought that it was impossible for anyone to dare to expose this list, Xia Ji took a step forward, bowed to Chen Gonggong and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to give it a try."

Gonggong Chen and everyone were stunned, and Uncle Xia Yu's face turned pale with fright, seeing that Xia Ji had already spoken, he couldn't hold it back.

Chen Gonggong came back to his senses, looked at Xia Ji, and then looked at Uncle Xia Yu who was standing beside her, and said, "Xia Ji, can you cure it?" Isn't that a joke? ”

"The concubine has a secret recipe in her hand, which can cure the queen mother's illness. But rest assured, your majesty, the concubine does not need your reward, because the queen mother is also a relative of the concubine and the royal uncle. Natsuhime said.

"Okay, just by what you said, the widow asked you to take over the treatment of the queen mother, but the widow never took back what he said." Although Chen Gonggong still didn't believe that Xia Ji, a disease that the imperial doctors didn't dare to treat, could be cured, but since she had a secret recipe, it made him interested.

Uncle Xia Yu muttered softly behind Xia Ji: "Madam, can you really cure it?"

Xia Ji didn't answer Uncle Yu's question, but just turned around and told him that because the medicine had been boiling for too long, let him go back to Xia Mansion first.

Xia Ji came to Concubine Hui again, and after making a salute, she asked, "Sister Concubine Hui, are you willing to accompany me to boil medicine for the Queen Mother."

Concubine Hui took Xia Ji's hand and said, "Of course I do."

Natsuhime and Concubine Hui came to the Imperial Doctor and asked him to lead the way to the Imperial Pharmacy.

At the Imperial Pharmacy, Xia Ji asked the pharmacist to grab Chinese medicines such as ephedra, white peony, schisandra, boiled licorice, dried ginger, fine pungent root, cinnamon branch, and banxia, and divided them into six doses, one of which was given to the pharmacist in the imperial pharmacy to boil, and the other five doses were packed and prepared to be taken back to Zhuyuan.

The first assistant imperial doctor saw that there seemed to be nothing special about the few flavors of medicine she caught, and looked at her quietly on the side.

Taking advantage of the boiling medicine, Concubine Hui took Xia Ji's hand and the two talked on the side, the two hadn't seen each other for so long, Xia Ji had just become a mother again, and the two seemed to have endless words.

Xia Ji took out two bottles of homemade perfume and gave it to Concubine Hui and told her that she made it herself, but the fragrance was a little light.

Concubine Hui was overjoyed, and said after trying to spray a little: "It is lighter than the previous bottle of crystal bottle perfume, but it has a natural floral fragrance, which is great."

"Sister Huifei, I know that there is a place where the crystal bottle of perfume is there, and there is a place where there is a better wine than my family's fairy wine, and there are many novelties there."

"Really? Where is it, sister? ”

"It's my sister's hometown Gusu."

"Really? Are you sure? ”

"Absolutely, for sure."

"Okay, it just happened to be my brother's birthday next month, and I haven't been back to my parents' house for a long time, so I'll go and tell you in a while that I'm going to go back to Gusu. By the way, sister, you said before that you would accompany me when I went back to Gusu, would you like to? ”

"Of course I do, but it will take six days to treat the Queen Mother, can I leave after six days?"

"No problem. But sister, you are really sure to cure the Queen Mother. ”

"Well, I'm sure it can be cured."

The two chatted for a while and the medicine was boiled, Xia Ji ordered the pharmacist to pour the medicine into a small bowl, and after the medicine was cold, Xia Ji quietly sandwiched the antibiotic pill between her fingers, and then pretended to use her hands to work on the medicine bowl, and the pill fell into the medicine bowl and melted.

The first assistant imperial doctor was confused, these few flavors of medicine were plain and unremarkable, and it was unheard of for the medicine to make a gongdao, thinking how useful this little skill of carving insects was?

Xia Ji came to the Queen Mother's bed with this bowl of medicine and waited for the Queen Mother to take it.

After the Queen Mother finished taking the medicine, Xia Ji told the maids around her to give the Queen Mother some meat porridge or fish soup and the like, but there was no need to take other medicines.

Xia Ji told the maid to go to Zhuyuan to get medicine tomorrow morning, and then withdrew from the Queen Mother with Concubine Hui.

Xia Ji came to the lobby, and at this time, Gonggong Chen, his relatives, and the imperial doctor had all dispersed, and only Uncle Xia Yu was still waiting there.

Xia Ji was a little moved when she saw Uncle Xia waiting for her, so she said goodbye to Concubine Hui and rode back to Bamboo Garden with Uncle Xia Yu.
