Father-in-law Jiao was very happy to see Du Wenhao: "Master Du is here, why don't you squeak in advance, our family will go to meet you." ”

Du Wenhao arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law Jiao is polite. When I first arrived, I was not familiar with the situation in the harem, so I came to ask my father-in-law for advice, and I wanted to ask my father-in-law for advice. ”

"Lord Du is polite." Gonggong Jiao knew that Du Wenhao was sincere in asking for advice, and he was not polite, so he said immediately: "Among the harem concubines, the Empress Dowager is the elder, and the Empress Dowager Gao is the first emperor and queen Gao, and the Empress Dowager Gao has always respected the empress dowager and dare not disobey it. Then there is today's Queen Xiang, Queen Xiang is also very respectful to the Queen Mother, in addition, Long Live Lord also has Concubine Zhu, Jieyu Lin and Wu, and Concubine Song. These concubines and the Empress Dowager are all of the same mind. There is only one person who never puts the Queen Mother in his eyes, and this person is the beauty Chen! ”

Du Wenhao said: "Yesterday I heard the Empress Dowager talk about this person, and I remember that it seems to be offered by Wang Anshi, right?" ”

"That's right! This Chen Meiren is a vixen, very charming, sweet mouth, can dance and sing, and recite poems, so the emperor loves her very much, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Anshi was able to soar! The Empress Dowager has always suspected that Chen Meiren is related to the illness of the harem concubines, and what Lord Du has to investigate is what the Chen family is doing in it! ”

Du Wenhao nodded again and again, and asked the basic information of each concubine, Jiao Gonggong told them one by one, and also told Du Wenhao about the personality and hobbies of several queen concubines.

Coming out of Gong Cao's house, Du Wenhao felt a little bottom in his heart, and took Xia Jiupo and the two to the queen mother's bedroom first.

The Empress Dowager Gao is the wife of the first emperor Song Yingzong and the biological mother of the current emperor Song Shenzong. The status is respected, second only to the Empress Dowager Cao (Song Renzong's wife).

After a long time, the palace maid came out to report that the queen mother was unwell and could not see guests.

Du Wenhao frowned and said: "This official is not a guest, but a doctor under orders, since the queen mother is in poor health, the minister should be a medical examiner." ”

The palace maid smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, Niangniang's illness has not been for three days or two days, it has been many years, and no less than a dozen imperial doctors have seen it, all of them have committed good crimes, good crimes, and they have not been cured." The mother said that you don't need to look at it, just go over. So please come back, sir! ”

"Nonsense!" Du Wenhao said angrily, "You mother-in-law said that, why did you say that?" It's not you who hurt, right? ”

This hat is big enough, and the palace maid suddenly trembled with fright, and knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave is guilty!" ”

"Humph! Lead the way and take the official to see the Queen Mother! ”

The palace maid said the wrong thing, and was frightened like chaff, and trembling led the way in front, and walked through the hall to the outside of a fine courtyard. The palace maid said in a trembling voice: "Lord Du, please stay, and the slave maid will go to report." ”

Du Wenhao had faintly heard the woman's miserable wail coming from inside, continuous, and occasionally the crisp sound of breaking utensils. Hurriedly asked the palace maid: "What's going on?" ”

The palace maid said: "The mother is really unbearable through the pain, so ......"

Du Wenhao turned his head and instructed Xia Jiupo: "Lord Xia, Niangniang is very sick, you and her will go in and take a look first." I was waiting outside, and the report came out to call me. ”

Xia Jiupo bowed down and agreed, she was a frequent visitor to this dormitory, and she often came to treat the queen mother, and Du Wenhao was ordered to serve the doctor, so she could do it cheaply. So without waiting for the palace maid to lead the way, he went straight into the courtyard of the dormitory, went up the steps and lifted the curtain of the door and entered the house.

After a while, Xia Jiupo came out and told Du Wenhao: "My lord, this is an old problem, and I have abdominal pain. The humble priest told the mother that you were ordered to come to the doctor, and the mother let you in. ”

When Du Wenhao heard this, his heart sank, dysmenorrhea is a common disease in women's medicine, and he often encountered such patients in his uncle's Chinese medicine clinic before, and there were also very painful ones, but Du Wenhao had never encountered such a miserable scream. I heard the palace maid say that this was Niangniang's old problem, and more than ten imperial doctors had not been cured, and he also had no bottom in his heart, he didn't expect to encounter such a difficult disease as soon as he came up, Du Wenhao's heart was heavy.

He walked through the courtyard into the house, and saw a woman lying on a beautiful phoenix bed, with a low gauze tent, and a woman with unkempt hair was faintly visible, and she was enduring the pain and moaning in a low voice. An arm stretched out from the gauze tent and placed it on the pulse, trembling. Her slender fingers curled, and her long nails dug into the flesh.

Du Wenhao didn't have an emergency pulse, sat down on the edge of the bed with his robe, and said: "The queen mother, the lowly Du Wenhao, who was ordered to serve the doctor in the harem, heard that Niangniang was in pain, and came to visit and ...... for examination."

"Then hurry up and ......, let's leave after reading it......! Ouch ......"

Since it is the emperor's will, the queen mother is not easy to refuse, but the abdominal pain is like a knife, I really don't want to say more, so many doctors have diagnosed and treated, so many years, no doctor can cure her disease. Yueyue is like this, she has to suffer this sin, in addition to self-pity and the life of a woman, she is completely desperate to cure this disease. So I want to send Du Wenhao away as soon as possible.

Du Wenhao said in a low voice: "Since Niangniang's pain is unbearable, Rong Chen will give Niangniang a golden needle to relieve the pain first, and then diagnose the symptoms, okay?" ”

The queen mother was so painful at the moment that she just wanted to hit her head against the wall, if anyone could help her stop the knife-like pain, she would be willing to do whatever she wanted, but she had just seen from the gauze tent that Du Wenhao was young, and her heart was already half cold, so many old doctors couldn't help it, what could he do if he was young, it was just one more toss, so he shook his head and said: "Forget it, you hurry up and finish diagnosing the bottom of the pulse, let's go." ”

"If Weichen can't relieve the pain for Niangniang, what's the use of diagnosing the pulse? Please Rong Weichen relieve the pain for Niangniang first. If it goes well, with just a stick of incense, Niangniang's menstrual pain can be greatly relieved. ”

Hearing Du Wenhao's words, the Queen Mother turned her face sideways, looked at Du Wenhao through the gauze tent, and thought to herself, how could this young imperial doctor be so immodest? However, since he is the emperor's hand-appointed harem doctor, he must have some ability, let him treat, if it works, it is best, if it doesn't work, let him leave early, so as not to be in the eyes.

At that moment, the queen mother frowned and said: "That's good, then hurry up!" ”

Du Wenhao agreed, stood up, took a step back, took out a black scarf from his arms, covered his entire face, only exposed his mouth, tied it at the back of his head, and said: "Weichen wants to give Niangniang acupuncture, please Niangniang wide clothes!" ”

This trick was taught to him by Lin Qingdai, and after learning that the holy decree made him serve as a doctor in the harem last night, all the women felt that this was very inappropriate, and they had to find a way to avoid the suspicion of melon fields and plums, otherwise a crime would be a capital crime of destroying the door. Therefore, all the women came up with this trick to treat the disease with a mask, and all those who needed to be treated with a mask were treated with a mask. It is better to be cured than to break the taboo.

It's just that the women still underestimated Du Wenhao's ability. Now the Queen Mother sees Du Wenhao actually masked acupuncture, if she is not arrogant, she is very confident in her medical skills. Seeing his expression, he didn't look like an arrogant person, could it really be that he had miraculous medical skills? I can't help but feel a little more hopeful in my heart.

The two intimate palace maids helped the queen mother remove her dress, leaving only her close-fitting clothes.

Du Wenhao stretched out his hand to Xia Jiupo and said, "Give me a thick three-edged gold needle!" ”

Xia Jiupo hurriedly took out the golden needle from the outpatient box and handed it to Du Wenhao's right hand.

Du Wenhao said again: "Lead my left hand to Niangniang's Tianshu acupoint!" ”

Xia Jiupo hurriedly grabbed Du Wenhao's left hand and led it to the Tianshu acupoints on the left and right sides of the belly button of the Queen Mother's lower abdomen.

Du Wenhao found the acupuncture point with his left hand and said to Xia Jiupo: "Prepare two fire pots!" ”

Xia Jiupo hurriedly took out the fire cup, lit a small note and threw it into the fire cup: "Ready!" ”

The three-edged needle in Du Wenhao's right hand was like a dragonfly dotting water, and he quickly stabbed twice on the Tianshu acupoints on both sides of the queen mother's side, and suddenly, two blood beads rolled out. Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "Fire cup!" ”

Xia Jiupo took the golden needle from Du Wenhao's hand and stuffed the two fire cups into his hands. Du Wenhao flipped his wrist and buckled the fire pot on the Tianshu acupoint that pierced the bleeding.

Blood slowly gushed out. The palace maids next to them all screamed in unison. The queen mother felt that the abdominal pain was relieved, and the sharp pain in the lower abdomen began to gush out with the blood, and she suddenly felt comfortable and let out a sigh: "Ouch......, comfortable!" ”

Du Wenhao didn't stop, concocted it in the same way, and used a three-edged gold needle to puncture the intermediate acupoint below the queen mother's navel, and then used a fire pot to suck blood.

Then, Du Wenhao said to Xia Jiupo: "Lead me to the Queen Mother's Three Yin Jiao!" ”

Xia Jiupo hurriedly grabbed Du Wenhao's left hand and led it to the inner calf of the Queen Mother and the three yin points above the ankle.

Du Wenhao said again: "Give me a fine Mitsubishi gold needle and prepare a small fire pot!" ”

Xia Jiupo handed over the fine Mitsubishi gold needle, and Du Wenhao stabbed the three yin points of the queen mother's left and right feet respectively, and extracted them with a small fire pot after bleeding.

After half a spoonful of bleeding in each of the acupoints, the queen mother's pain was greatly reduced, and she almost wanted to dance with her hands, and she was overjoyed: "It's much better!" The mourning family feels so much better! You're a great doctor! What's your name? ”

"Weichen Du Wenhao. He was appointed as the new judge of the Tai Hospital. ”

"It turned out to be the judgment of the Du Court, okay! If it is really a miracle skill, no wonder the emperor appointed you to serve in the harem, it is really a blessing for the family. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother for the compliment." Du Wenhao took off the fire pot and pressed it with a disinfectant cotton wool to stop the bleeding, "How does Niangniang feel now?" ”

"Well, it still hurts, but it's much better than just now, and it's already bearable."

"Then please Rong Weichen continue to treat Niangniang."

"Ouch, do you have a way to stop the pain? Good! Then please continue to treat the mourning family! ”

Du Wenhao said to Xia Jiupo: "Lead me to the Empress Dowager's Divine Cave!" ”

Shenque was at the navel, and after Xia Jiupo led Du Wenhao's hand into place, Du Wenhao gently tapped with his fingers from top to bottom on the queen mother's lower abdomen, and percussed regularly up and down, left and right. Then, the Queen Mother was asked to turn over and lie down, and percussion in three lines along both sides of the spine from top to bottom.

After knocking on a stick of incense, Du Wenhao heard the queen mother actually snoring slightly, and it turned out that he was already asleep!

Du Wenhao withdrew his hand, straightened up, beat his back that was a little sore, and turned around.

Seeing that Niangniang was asleep, the palace maids on both sides were already crying with joy, and said in a low voice: "Every time Niangniang has abdominal pain, she can't sleep peacefully, she hasn't slept for two days, and now she can sleep well." Put down the gauze tent, and then took off the black scarf on Du Wenhao's face.

Du Wenhao said in a low voice: "Let Niangniang sleep well first, she will not have menstrual pain in the past few days, please rest assured, I will come to Niangniang early tomorrow morning for a follow-up visit." ”

"Yes!" The palace maid thanked her and sent Du Wenhao and Xia Jiupo out of the queen mother's bedroom.
