When Princess Ningde went out to call someone, the queen asked Tianqi: "What is the emperor going to do with Chen Xuanzhi?" ”

Tianqi thought for a while and asked the queen: "The queen is the lord of the six palaces, what are you going to do?" ”

The queen said: "According to the rules of the palace, it is strictly forbidden for a medical woman to enter the palace, and it is even more sinful to practice medicine privately without permission, but the concubine thinks that the emperor can tolerate Feng Siqin after the merchant and Wei Xiaolan after the traitor, and it should be no problem to tolerate Chen Mingzhu who is a doctor now." ”

Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask clearly." ”

The rules in this palace are not everyone can enter the palace as a palace maid, and if an official is guilty, his daughter may be punished into the palace for labor, but after the traitor, he is not allowed to enter the palace, because the traitor's crime is not forgiven, and if the traitor enters the palace after the traitor, he is afraid that they will retaliate against the emperor and queen at that time. Merchants are not allowed to enter the palace because they are afraid that they will bring the idea of valuing profit over righteousness into the palace, but this kind of worry does not exist here in the apocalypse, because he himself takes the word "profit" very seriously, and if there is a shortage of money inside and outside the palace, if you still hold the old thinking of treating money as dung, the country is about to be in a desperate situation.

Among them, only the medical woman is not allowed to enter the palace, which is well implemented, because in terms of medical pharmacology, the woman of the medical household must know more than the average person since she was a child. There were originally many rights and wrongs in the palace, and it was not uncommon for brothers and sisters to murder each other, and if a woman from a medical household entered the palace as a palace maid, and wanted to murder someone for the benefit of herself or her master in the future, it is estimated that the means of killing people are much more concealed than ordinary people.

After a while, I saw Princess Ningde come in with a woman with a pale face, her face was pale not because she had good skin, but because she knew that the emperor and empress were suspicious of her, she was Chen Mingzhu Chen Xuanzhi, who Princess Ningde praised endlessly and wanted to rely on at that time.

Tianqi asked, "Chen Xuanshi, I heard that the imperial sister said that your medical skills are very superb, tell me where you learned your medical skills?" ”

Chen Mingzhu whispered: "Back to the emperor, the concubine's father used to be a very famous doctor in the Jiangnan area, and there were many ancient medical books at home. Sometimes when the father of a female patient is inconvenient, the concubine will also help to take the pulse and treat the wound. ”

Tianqi asked: "It is strictly forbidden for medical women to enter the palace in the palace, how did you enter the palace?" How did you change the household? In addition to treating the old queen mother and Princess Ningde, who else have you practiced medicine for? ”

Princess Zhu Huiyan of Ningde was stupid when she heard Tianqi's words, and pleaded with Tianqi on the spot and said: "Brother Huang, it's all my fault that little sister is not good, if it weren't for my Chen Xuanzhi, I wouldn't have exposed my identity, if you want to punish me." ”

Tianqi snorted and said, "The punishment is for sure, but first we have to ask things clearly, what's going on in this palace?" The rules I have set have been broken again and again, and no matter how good I am at talking, I can't just endure it, right? ”

After Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a palace maid named Yang Jinying, there were many more rules in the palace, and later Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan to live for decades and did not return to the palace. Although Apocalypse feels that many measures are too much, he also thinks that some rules still need to be followed, because as long as a thing exists, it has a reason for its existence, but whether this reason is as huge or has become very far-fetched now, it needs someone to carefully analyze it according to the existing situation, and Apocalypse is ready to ask the truth now.

I thought that Chen Xuanzhi changed the household registration of the medical household in order to enter the palace in private, who knew that Chen Mingzhu said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine is no longer a medical household at home before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, she only helped Princess Ningde change her prescription once with experience last time, but it is also approved by the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, which is not considered to practice medicine privately, please ask the emperor to investigate." ”

Apocalypse asked, "How can it be that it is no longer a doctor?" Didn't you say that your father was a famous doctor in Jiangnan? Is there something going on? ”

Chen Mingzhu said: "The specific matter of the concubine is not clear, it seems that once a senior official's internal relatives were sick, and he was unwilling to seek medical treatment in person, so he only asked someone to take the word to dictate the illness, maybe it was because the words were not clear or other reasons were not cured, so he was angry with the concubine's father and forcibly canceled the medical household of the concubine's family." When the family was in dire straits, the palace chose a palace maid to send the concubine to the palace, and he decided to go away incognito to make a living. ”

It seems that everyone is a person with a story, and Apocalypse nodded and asked, "Did you know your father's whereabouts later?" ”

Chen Mingzhu said: "I don't know what a doctor can do besides practicing medicine? Presumably he's treating people somewhere. ”

The queen said at this time: "Your Majesty, since Chen Xuanzhi did not violate the rules of the palace, why did he still let people stand?" Come and sit down and tell me how you changed the prescription for Princess Ningde and the old queen mother last time, it's not easy to be more powerful than the imperial doctor at a young age. ”

Apocalypse also nodded and said, "Yes, sit down and tell me what's going on?" Is it too useless for the doctor to be too hospital? ”

Chen Mingzhu said: "Emperor Xie and the queen, in fact, the imperial doctors are very clever in their medical skills, but there is no such condition as concubines, so they try to make the prescription as stable as possible, but they don't know that although the prescription is not easy to have an accident, it is not easy to be effective." ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "Tell me the details at that time." ”

Chen Mingzhu said: "When a doctor diagnoses the condition correctly, he needs to pay attention to two points when prescribing prescriptions, one is to pay attention to the actual physical condition of the patient, and the other is to pay attention to the assistance of the monarch and the minister of the medicinal materials when dispensing medicine. The palace lord of Ningde and the old queen mother did not pay attention to keeping warm during the change of seasons and suffered from the cold, and the condition did not improve after taking the medicine of the imperial doctor, and the real reason was that the medicinal power of several main medicines was not enough, and the concubine added a little amount and added one or two catalytic auxiliary medicines. ”

Princess Ningde asked at this time: "I and the old queen mother both have the same disease, why do you change the recipe differently?" ”

Chen Mingzhu said: "That's because your physique is different, although the old queen is old, but the physique is stronger than the princess, I increased the power of medicine at the same time added some jujubes, cinnamon, etc. to maintain her stomach, because these medicines hurt the stomach and the elderly are very troublesome if they hurt their stomachs." The princess is young and not afraid of hurting her stomach, but her physique is not as strong as the old queen mother, so I added some codonopsis, astragalus and other medicines to the princess to replenish qi, it looks different, but the reason is the same. ”

Princess Ningde was shocked: "The old queen mother is seventy years old this year, right?" Better than my physique, don't you have to live more than a hundred years? ”

Chen Mingzhu said with a smile: "I can't guarantee that I will be 100 years old, but pay attention to diet and keep warm, and there should be no problem in living 80 or 90 years old." ”

Tianqi asked at this time: "You can see that the two of them have different physiques, can't the imperial doctors see that they are rice buckets?" ”

Chen Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty, how a person's physique is not real on the surface, it needs to look at the strength of the person's breath, the elasticity of the skin, the color of the hands and feet and the key acupuncture points of the body, as well as the sweating of the waist, abdomen, neck, legs and other places, as well as the scars and luster of the nails and hair. May I ask the emperor, which imperial doctor has the conditions to see these? As for the female medical officers in the palace, they mainly pay attention to the production of concubines and concubines in the palace, and they have little contact with ordinary diseases. ”

Tianqi thought for a long time and asked, "Chen Xuanshi, I want you to do something, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Chen Mingzhu asked in surprise: "Does the emperor want his concubines to practice medicine in the palace?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "No, I want to recruit palace maids across the country, specifically recruit people who like medical skills, and you will be in charge of these palace maids studying medicine at that time, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Chen Mingzhu said happily: "The concubines are willing, but I don't know what to do with these palace maids to study medicine?" ”

Apocalypse said: "From what you said today, I know that there are too few doctors who specialize in treating women, so what is the situation in the palace where people are so civil? Nowadays, women regard honor as more important than life, and many diseases that could have been cured are avoided because it is inconvenient for male doctors to see them, and finally they are dragged down and dragged to death, and I do this for the health of the people. By the way, isn't the sixth sister going to punish you for her brother? How about you also come and help manage the female doctor and study? ”

Princess Ningde said with a smile: "I am definitely willing, maybe I can slowly improve my physique and live to be eighty or ninety years old." ”
