In the West Hall of Tokyo, the ministers are standing with their bows, a beautiful shadow behind the yellow gauze curtain is shaking, and the people inside seem to be moving.

There was a very pleasant voice with a soothing rhythm inside: "Didn't you receive a letter from the official family asking Cao Bin to retire from the army?" ”

Wang Pubai, the privy envoy standing in the forefront, said: "Back to Empress Duanci, the Privy Council has not received any more holy decrees from the northwest. The letter received a few days ago has been reported to Empress Duanci, from the deputy envoy of Wei, saying that Taichang Temple will send the imperial doctor to the south, and send the cabinet auxiliary Zuo You to accompany him. ”

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "It depends on the will of the official." ”

"Whoa." Wang Pudao.

Taichang Siqing on one side said: "The minister has a word." ”

Fu Jinzhan's voice said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Taichang Siqing said: "Cao Dashuai's township army camp, according to the law of the forbidden army, specially sent the officials of the Imperial Medical Department to set up a healing camp, which not only has the civil Langzhong who has been requisitioned, but also the imperial doctor. If the imperial doctor in front is helpless, I am afraid that sending people will not help. ”

At this moment, Wang Pu said: "Please play Empress Duanci, the old minister has a righteous daughter named Lu Lan, who lives in the palace, and has not seen her for a long time, the minister wants to see her in the Privy Council, and hopes that Empress Duanci will be gracious." ”

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan paused and said suddenly, "I remember that Wang Yuanjun was seriously ill once, and Lu Lan cured you?" ”

Wang Pubai said: "Exactly, that's why the old minister married her father and daughter." ”

Fu Jinzhan immediately said: "Someone, go and ask Lu Lan to go to the Privy Council to see her father-in-law...... Decree that the Imperial Physician's Department Cheng Baisuo will also go. ”

……

On the west side of Xuanyou Gate, there is a small courtyard without a name, which is where Lu Lan lives.

It's a very clean place. The concubines on both sides of the central axis of the harem of Xuanyou Gate live in the palace and will not cross the Long Live Palace; On both sides of the Banzai Hall are warehouses for offices and things. Only Lu Lan lives in this location.

The whole yard is planted with herbs, and even the living room is planted with flowers and plants in a clay pot and placed on a large wooden frame.

Lu Lan was carrying a kettle, watering the flowers and plants in the pot very carefully, she was very careful, there was a kind of broad-leaved grass on the leaves dirty, she also took a handkerchief to gently wipe it clean.

After doing all this work, she stood in front of the shelf and stretched her upper body comfortably. The sun shines on her body through the wooden frame, very soft, Lu Lan is not tall, her bones are small, but her skin is very plump, and the clothes on her chest are very tight when she stretches her waist.

She lowered her arms and smiled pleasantly. Seeing these plants growing in a beautiful way, she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

At this moment, a little palace maid stretched her neck at the door and said: "Li Shanggong, who is on duty in the Long Live Palace, is here, she said that she has been uncomfortable for the past few days, and she is cold when she falls asleep at night, but her vest is sweating, and she wants to find you to check her pulse." ”

Lu Lan said: "Call her in." ”

After a while, Li Shanggong, who was in his early thirties, came in with a smile on his face and greeted Mrs. Lu.

Lu Lan pointed to the rattan chair next to a table and said, "Li Shanggong, please take a seat." ”

She glanced at the white steam of the kettle on the stove, walked over to the wooden frame, brushed her fingers over the light yellow feathered leaves, rested on a pale green feathered grass leaf, took the scissors and cut two leaves, and then washed them in the basin of water.

Li Shanggong saw Lu Lan handing over tea and water with his own hands, and said politely: "Why are you embarrassed to let Lu Niangzi treat her like this?" ”

Lu Lan soaked the two leaves in a white porcelain cup, walked over and put them in front of Li Shanggong, and said, "You're welcome, just taste it." Li Shanggong's symptoms are just a slight evil qi entering the body due to yin deficiency, and there is no major problem, so there is no need to worry. ”

Li Shanggong picked up the cup and took a sip, frowned slightly, and immediately smiled again: "It's very bitter...... But there is a fragrance, it's good, these are all planted by Lu Niangzi herself? ”

"That's right." Lu Lan nodded and said, "This is Artemisia annua, which is just right to cure your yin deficiency." In addition, the yellow grass artemisia is not so bitter, but it is not very useful for your disease, it is a medicine for evaporation and malaria. ”

Li Shanggong was surprised: "It turns out that this cup of tea is for healing!" ”

Lu Lan said: "There are still a few plants in the yard, cut some for you to go back to soak in water and drink in a while." ”

Li Shanggong blew on the surface of the water, took another sip, looked grateful, and said: "People like Lu Niangzi are still very respected in the palace. People eat grains, no one can guarantee that they will not suffer from three diseases and two pains, and it is not convenient for the people in the harem to see Langzhong, so everyone can be kind and pleasant to you. There are few people on Lu Niangzi's side, and it is not so boring to walk around with us when she has time. ”

Lu Lan pouted, "I really like to spend time with these grass flowers." ”

At this moment, the little palace maid came in with a eunuch. The eunuch hurriedly said, "Lu Niangzi, come with the miscellaneous family!" ”

Lu Lan and Li Shanggong looked at him with some confusion.

The eunuch said again: "Empress Duanci and the privy envoy want to see you!" ”

When Li Shanggong heard this, he glanced at Lu Lan a few times, pursed his lips, and said busily: "Then I will leave, the matter over there is important, Lu Niangzi will go over first." ”

Lu Lan got up and followed the eunuch out.

Out of the Xuanyou Gate, the two rushed straight to the Privy Council one after the other, and Wang Pu and Lu Lan's uncle Bai Sue were already waiting there.

When Lu Lan saw the two old men, she had to call them "uncle" and "father-in-law" obediently.

Wang Pudao: "A major event related to the army of 100,000!" Lingnan miasma, can there be a good medicine to make? ”

Bai Su nervously took the file sent back by the front-line imperial doctor and looked at it carefully, Lu Lan turned his head and followed suit. Bai Sue said: "The miasma may be malaria, the imperial doctor's method is no problem, realgar to smoke, a lot of Artemisia annua soaked in cold water, and then squeezed juice to drink, is from the "Shennong Materia Medica" recipe. ”

Wang Pu looked at Lu Lan.

Lu Lan said softly: "I think there is a problem. ”

Wang Pu hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Lu Lan said: "There are occasional malaria patients among the mountain people in Wushan, and I used to treat Artemisia annua according to the "Shennong's Materia Medica", but I found that there was no alleviation of the condition. Later, a large number of yellow-leaved Artemisia annua, long-term use of recuperation, quite effective...... "Shennong's Materia Medica" recorded Artemisia annua, may be Artemisia grass, this book is too long, the previous name may be different. ”

Wang Pu was overjoyed, and his face was ruddy: "The old man knows that it is right to recommend Lan'er in front of Empress Duanci!" ”

Bai Chau muttered on the side: "Blue is better than blue." ”

In fact, Lu Lan's medical book was not taught by him at all, but by Lu Lan's ancestor Doctor Lu. Of course, this does not affect the uncle to also get naked.

Lu Lan said again: "My colleague thinks that malaria is an evil spirit, but I don't think it's like it, it may be a living thing like an invisible bug." ”

"Oh?" Wang Pu looked at her with interest.

Lu Lan pursed her lips: "There is a village in Wushan where malaria has occurred, and I and the third aunt (Wushan Baimao) went to treat it. If there is a family member who serves the sick in the same room but has not been infected, if the evil spirit is not infected in the fighting room, why is it not infected by the family? I stayed there for a while and found that the family had poured filth into the creek, so the people downstream took water and got it.

Shennong's recipe can alleviate malaria, and it may be cured, but it is not necessarily cured. If it is a crowded barracks, the first thing to do is to separate those who are infected with malaria, forbid everyone to drink raw water, and boil the filth of the sick before pouring it out......"

Wang Pu couldn't help but nod his head and said, "After all, it is a lot of people's lives, in order to be foolproof, I can only let Lan'er go." ”

Lu Lan said: "The little girl obeys her father's orders. ”

So Wang Pu went to the west hall of the Jinxiang Hall to ask for instructions, and was in a hurry to arrange the itinerary.

Jing Niang also accompanied Lu Lan to the south, and there was also Xu Erniang, who was an attendant by Lu Lan's side; The civil officials are Bai Chau and Zuo You. Fu Jinzhan transferred a team of elite cavalry in the inner hall and escorted them to Lingnan.

The group crossed the river at the same time, passed through the old land of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and first came to Xiongzhou, which had been occupied by the Zhou army. There are a lot of sick people there who are not curing.

Zuo You took over the power of the Xiongzhou Sick Barracks, and first carried out isolation and decontamination according to Lu Lan's method. He also sent people to collect grass and artemisia and send them to Xiongzhou City.

Everyone took a group of officials, soldiers, and people to start treatment. This decoction is also quite weird, unlike other herbs, you have to boil the water to cool it first, soak it in cold water, and then knead it to get the juice, and give it to people every day.

There are thousands of sick soldiers, and people die every day, and a large number of grass and artemisia and manpower are needed.

One day, Xu Erniang saw people carrying the corpses of the soldiers out of the camp to burn, and remembered that Zhao Hu's corpse was also in the wounded barracks.

She wiped away a handful of tears and walked to the gate of a courtyard to see that the corpse was being carried out again. At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice **: "Is it my turn, is it ......?"

The voice was full of despair and fear.

Xu Erniang's heart softened, so she went in to look, only to see a pale and haggard young man lying on a broken bed, staring at the roof.

Although the sergeant had a sickly face, he was very handsome, looked very good-looking, and his figure was quite tall. Xu Erniang stood at the door of the house and seemed to block his light, and the sergeant suddenly trembled: "Why is it suddenly dark, am I going to the underworld!" ”

Xu Erniang hurriedly walked over and persuaded with good words: "Don't be afraid, we have good medicine, as long as we recuperate with peace of mind, we will definitely be fine." ”

After a few words of persuasion, the sergeant's godless eyes regained a little look, turned his head to look at Xu Erniang, and said in a daze: "Why are you crying, do you know me?" ”

Xu Erniang couldn't answer, so she shook her head silently.

She turned her head and saw an iron cup on the broken wooden table at the head of the bed, so she picked it up and walked out, first put it in a pot on the firewood and scalded it, then scooped a cup of cold soup medicine and walked in, and helped the sergeant up and fed him the medicine.

The sergeant said, "Can you live after drinking this?" ”

Xu Erniang said: "If you drink more, you will definitely be cured." ”

The sergeant picked up the cup and poured it into his stomach.
