Chapter 41: The Cold Palace

Just after the fourth watch, the bottle woke up Li Zhongyi, and the entire Li family also moved.

The hot water in the water room was boiled early, and there was a lot of movement in the kitchen, and the sound of sweeping the floor was already heard outside the court.

When washing his face, Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, the bottle was the director of the house, and he was well organized, which was very good.

Aunt Xue trusted the bottle very much, and as soon as she arrived at this house, she stuffed the housekeeper's power into the bottle's hand in front of all the servants.

Today, it turns out that Bottle is very competent for the job of a housekeeper.

After packing up and having breakfast, Li Zhongyi went out to board the car and went to the palace to pick up duty.

When Li Zhongyi rushed to the Shang Pharmacy, Yang Mingguang, the imperial doctor in the same group as him, had already arrived in advance.

Under the leadership of Yang Mingguang and in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, Li Zhongyi and a doctor on duty at night completed the handover.

After the formalities were completed, Yang Mingguang and Li Zhongyi officially took over, and the two sat in the official hall drinking tea and chatting.

Yang Mingguang glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was drinking tea with his head down, and reminded: "Things in the palace are very complicated, when you give the concubines a good look, you have to be more mindful and try to prescribe some modest prescriptions." ”

This is a good word, Li Zhongyi hurriedly said: "Thank you Yang Gong for mentioning it, the little nephew has written it down." ”

Yang Mingguang smiled and said, "In addition, don't use the medicine of the tiger and wolf, in some cases, even if you have ten thousand mouths, it will be difficult to explain clearly." ”

This is another detailed reminder, Li Zhongyi concentrated and listened to Yang Mingguang's introduction.

After chatting about a cup of tea, a few chamberlains came to the court one after another, and called Yang Mingguang and another group of imperial doctors to the palace to see the disease, and Li Zhongyi was left on duty in the entire Shang Medicine Bureau.

At this moment, the Ministry of Internal Service also came to pass on the imperial doctor. Li Zhongyi had a lot of eyes, and quietly stuffed a handful of copper coins to the waiter.

The chamberlain weighed the weight of the cuffs, at least half-penetrating, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"I wonder which noble person is sick?" Li Zhongyi saw that this waiter had received the benefits, and his heart relaxed slightly, so he asked the reason directly.

The chamberlain sighed and said, "I won't tell you anything, we're going to the cold palace." ”

"Cold Palace?" Li Zhongyi had heard of this term in TV dramas before, but he had no concept.

After all, the chamberlain has gained a lot of benefits, and it is not a fatal matter, so the details were revealed.

"Sun Chongyi and Li Cairen are cousins, and Li Cairen was relegated to the cold palace because he made a big mistake. Last night, Sun Chongyi went to bed, saying that Li Cairen was very ill and asked for His Majesty's grace......"

Oh, I see!

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, he was not lucky, the first time he went to the palace to see a sinner, he actually went to the cold palace to see a sinner.

Yes, since there is only one medical officer on duty in the Shang Pharmacy, Li Zhongyi, even if he doesn't want to go again, he has to go to the cold palace.

Li Zhongyi carried the medical box, followed behind the chamberlain, and walked all the way to the west, before he stopped in front of a high wall not far from the palace wall.

There were four guards with crotch knives standing in front of the door, and Li Zhongyi took the opportunity of checking the fish talisman to raise his eyes and look, but he didn't see the words of Leng Gong.

After entering the courtyard wall, Li Zhongyi is now, this is an unusually old palace, and there are two words on the plaque: Xiqian.

Dare to love, this so-called cold palace is called Xiqian Palace.

After comparison, Li Zhongyi found that the tall courtyard wall outside should have been built later.

In other words, this was originally a normal palace, but because of the need to detain the palace concubines who made mistakes, a high wall of imprisonment was specially added.

The chamberlain walked into the temple gate, called out an old palace maid who was in charge, and asked her, "Where is the former talent who was demoted here, the sinner Li family?" ”

"Lee?" The old palace maid pondered for a long time, and then realized who it was, "Locked in the small courtyard at the back." ”

"By the grace of His Majesty, I sent a medical officer to treat the Li family." After the chamberlain explained his intentions, the old palace maid froze suddenly.

She didn't expect that the Li family, who had been locked up for three years, would still be remembered in the palace.

The old palace maid looked panicked, and was looked at by Li Zhongyi on the side. He thought to himself, that Li Cairen's life in this cold palace must not be easy.

The phoenix that has lost its hair, the villains who are attached to the flames, and the wanton bullying, no matter in that dynasty, are common things.

Following the old palace maid, Li Zhongyi walked to the palace. Most of the small houses along the way are silent.

When Li Zhongyi was walking, he suddenly heard a sharp cry coming from a dark room next to him, "Your Majesty has sent someone to pick me up, Your Majesty has come to pick me up......"

was so frightened that even if Li Zhongyi was very bold, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

", shut your foul mouth. Phew, don't pee and take care of it, what kind of virtue are you? "The old palace maid may be used to being domineering in the cold palace, and she scolds when she opens her mouth, and the scolding is very ugly.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, in the face of a group of women who have no hope after falling out of favor, no matter how they step on it, they have no worries.

The old palace maid's scolding was obviously ineffective, and the woman in the small black room continued to shout loudly, "Your Majesty is coming to pick me up, Your Majesty likes my long head the most......"

Li Zhongyi shook his head secretly, alas, the woman in the small black room was obviously crazy.

Without thinking much about it, Li Zhongyi can guess how terrible it is to be able to lock up normal people crazy?

Along the way, the smell became more and more pungent, and the musty smell mixed with the unpleasant stench became stronger and stronger.

Li Zhongyi took out a bottle of embroidered handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose stiffly, and said in his heart, even if a person is extremely healthy, in this harsh environment, I am afraid he will not live for a few years.

When he arrived at Li's house, Li Zhongyi took a look at the surrounding environment, only to see that the red paint on the door had been mottled, the copper lock was unusually thick, the window paper was all gone, and the wooden railing with the thickness of his wrist isolated the people in the house.

After the old palace maid opened the bronze key, she just stood quietly at the door, and did not mean to enter the house.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, this old palace maid has made the cold palace a miasma, and now it's good, she doesn't even dare to enter the house, it's really a sin.

However, Li Zhongyi didn't say that the old palace maid was not, there were too many injustices in this world, and they couldn't be managed at all.

Besides, the people who live here are all women that the emperor doesn't want, and it's not his turn to be a foreign minister.

Li Zhongyi pushed the door in, and a warning suddenly appeared in his heart, he was a man, and even if he was a woman who the emperor didn't want, it was inconvenient to go in alone.

"Mama, it's too dark in here for me to see clearly." Li Zhongyi withdrew one foot that had already stepped into the house, and looked at the old palace maid with blazing eyes.

The old palace maid hesitated, and seeing that Li Zhongyi's attitude was extremely resolute, she had to take the lead in the house, took out the candle in her arms, and lit it with a fire twist.

By the flickering candlelight, Li Zhongyi, who was standing at the door, could roughly see the situation in the small black room. A petite figure, wrapped in a thin quilt, was lying on a wooden board covered with straw, and its long head was actually dragged to the ground.

Li Zhongyi didn't see anything abnormal, so he raised his legs to enter the door and walked to the side of the plank.

At this time, Li Zhongyi saw clearly the side face of the woman on the wooden board. Her eyelashes were black and long, her pale left side of her face was flushed, her forehead was faintly blue, her petite body twitched from time to time, and her dry lips unconsciously spit out low moans.

Obviously, the Li family on the wooden board was in a high fever, and it was already time for Cheng DΓΉ to start talking nonsense.

Li Zhongyi raised his hand and pinched Li's right hand exposed outside the thin quilt, the skin of his hand was amazingly hot, and it was very hot, and he carefully checked the lower pulse, he felt that this was a cold and flu, which caused a high fever.

In fact, you don't need to take medicine for a cold, you can just cover a few hot sweats, but a high fever is different.

According to the heat of Li's hands, if the high fever continues, I am afraid that in a day or two, her little life will be confessed in this stinking little black house.

Li Zhongyi wanted to directly say that it was typhoid fever, but after thinking about it, if he really said so, the old palace maid next to him would probably run away, and even he, a medical officer, could be implicated because of this.

In this era when there are no antibiotics, limited to the objective conditions that medicine does not reach, the average person regards typhoid fever as a great enemy and fears it like a tiger.

"This is a high fever caused by a fever, and she needs to find a way to eliminate the fever immediately, otherwise, let her die here, and the lower official will not be able to explain the past in front of Liu Chongyi."

Benevolent medicine helps the world, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but feel compassion in the face of the suffering woman on the board.

The old palace maid secretly observed Li Zhongyi's face, and she didn't see a strange expression, and now, when she heard that it was not the typhoid fever she had been worried about, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Li Zhongyi deliberately named Liu Chongyi, just to scare the old palace maid who was fighting with people and forcing her to cooperate with the next treatment.

The old palace maid's face changed several times, and finally, she put on a smiling face and whispered: "As long as the maid can do it, please do it." ”

This old palace maid was arranged to manage the cold palace, and it was obvious that she was also a palace maid who was not favored in front of her master.

"There's a bar?" Li Zhongyi expected that there would definitely be no ice packs for lowering body temperature in this cold palace, so he could only use wine to replace them temporarily.

Don't care so much about it, suppressing the high fever is the most important link.

"Wine, ......" The old palace maid looked very hesitant, Li Zhongyi didn't think much about it, and directly took out half a string of copper coins from her sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, "Mama has worked hard." ”

When the old palace maid saw the money, she immediately said, "There are two pots of wine, I'll go and get them." ”

Li Zhongyi saw that the old palace maid was leaving, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Hot wine is needed." ”

"Okay." The old palace maid agreed, and ran out quickly to find wine.

Li Zhongyi followed the process, walked to the small table in the room where half a leg was missing, took out the four treasures of the study from the medical box, and took a pen and prescribed a dose of "compound guizhi soup" on the paper.

Guizhi soup is a famous antipyretic prescription in ancient China, however, Li's high fever is very scary, Li Zhongyi according to the actual situation, increased the two flavors of the symptomatic Xinwen antidote medicine, and reduced the amount of Guizhi.

Soon, the old palace maid brought two hot pots of wine.

Li Zhongyi instructed: "It's not convenient for me, so you can use a handkerchief and wipe all of Li's body with wine, especially the armpits and neck." ”

The old palace maid got Li Zhongyi's money, and was pressed down by him holding Liu Chongyi's big hat, even if she was reluctant, she had to reluctantly agree.

Li Zhongyi came out of the small dark room and stood outside for about a quarter of an hour, and the old palace maid finally finished polishing the wine.

When he checked the pulse again, Li Zhong easily felt that the degree of rice wine was still not enough, and it could not play a role in dissipating heat quickly.

So, Li Zhongyi handed over the prescription to the old palace maid and asked her to send someone to get the medicine.

Who knows, the old palace maid looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "The situation in other palaces, the maid doesn't know very well, but for the waste concubines in this cold palace, they all ask for money." ”
