Chapter Forty-Eight

"Boss, what is the princess's illness?" Wang Dali saw that neither of them spoke, and he also became anxious, he decided that the situation was serious, and was worried that Tang Xu would be severely punished by the general for this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You don't understand." Lan Jun only saw that Wang Dali was anxious, and he didn't understand what he was thinking, and he suddenly felt depressed in his chest.

"This..." Tang Xu didn't expect that he was originally looking for the cause of the disease, but he called out a smooth pulse, although it was a little weak, but it was true that the slippery pulse would not be wrong. It stands to reason that it is a happy pulse, but Princess Xihe is not married, and if she wants to openly say that she is pregnant, Tang Xu will be the first to be killed by the general.

"Vigorously." What happened before and after, Tang Xu couldn't help but doubt the relationship between Wang Dali and the princess.

"Boss, what do you command?" When Wang Dali heard the call, he immediately replied. And the meaning of all these actions was all misplaced in Lan Jun's eyes, he couldn't sit still, so he found an excuse to go outside to breathe. Tang Xu saw that Lan Jun was gone, leaving only one person who knew about it, and there was no one to discuss, and the eyes of the room were all staring at him, Tang Xu was helpless, so he could only pretend to be thoughtful and pretend to be deep.

Left and right, Lan Jun didn't come back, Tang Xu sat in the room all the time, didn't continue to see the doctor and didn't write a prescription, he frowned as if he had encountered some problem, and the others also noticed something wrong, and someone whispered that he wanted to inform the general of the situation here. Tang Xu knew that there was no way to delay any longer, but suddenly he had doubts about his diagnosis, if Wang Dali really had an affair with the princess, he should tell himself, right? If not, even if the princess is really pregnant, what does it have to do with herself? But then again, will Princess Xi and Princess really have a relationship with another man? But if the words are spilled, if it is a misdiagnosis, even if it is just a guess, once it is spoken, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Princess Xi He, is it possible for Li Yu to let himself go? The more time was pressing, the more intense the ideological struggle became, and Tang Xu's head ached for a while.

“!” Tang Xu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that he might have made a big mistake. He boldly walked to the bedside of Princess Xi He, and touched her lower abdomen through the summer clothes, and sure enough, it was cold and cold, while the rest of the place was still warm. The attendant on the side wanted to stop Tang Xu's presumptuous behavior, but seeing his serious expression, it seemed that this move was of great importance, so he gave up blocking it again.

"I want to know, who usually serves the food and living by Her Royal Highness the Princess's side?" Tang Xu looked at the person next to him.

"It's me." A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old stood up, and Tang Xu asked her to talk to her.

"When is the princess's moon?" Tang Xu asked in a low voice.

"Around the eighth day of the month." The maid didn't shy away from it, after all, Tang Xu was a doctor.

"Did the princess drink a lot of herbal tea a few days ago?" Tang Xu asked again.

"Yes, the weather is too hot for the princess to eat, so she only says that herbal tea is delicious, and she often drinks two or three bowls in one go." The maid replied, Tang Xu nodded, a little more sure. He returned to the table, picked up a brush and wrote down a recipe to warm his stomach, and the maid took the recipe and immediately decocted the medicine. Tang Xu asked someone to boil hot water to warm Xihe's belly, so that the princess's abdominal pain seemed to be really relieved, she stopped humming and sweating, and fell asleep in a groggy way, and all the attendants were happy when they saw this scene. Tang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he might have really guessed correctly. It's the sixth day of the new year, and the princess's menstrual affair is approaching, so she should have avoided being cold. The herbal tea is cold, and after drinking a lot at once, abdominal pain is inevitable, and although the princess's pulse seems to be happy, it is not strong. Tang Xu had seen in medical skills that the pulses before the menstrual period and the early pregnancy were very similar, but there were strong and weak points, but Tang Xu had only been in contact with pregnant women a few times, and he had never touched the girls who came to menstruation once, so he could not compare them carefully. In short, the party that opened the temperature supplement first, and if the moon came later, it naturally eliminated the suspicion of Ximai. If you don't come, then you have to repay the general truthfully.

Princess Xi and Princess then drank the decoction twice, and the abdominal pain disappeared, so Tang Xu took Lan Jun and left. And early the next morning, Tang Xu left Lan Jun behind, and went to the princess's mansion to wait and see the condition. For three days, the maid quietly told Tang Xu that the princess had really come to the moon, and the big stone in Tang Xu's heart fell to the ground, and he hurried to report it to General Li Xu. Li Xu understood the reason, it turned out that his daughter was greedy for herbal tea to get sick, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of Tang Xu, so Tang Xu not only retreated from this turmoil, but also won many rewards from General Li Xu and a plaque written by Li Xu himself, although Li Xu's words really dare not compliment, but this courtesy is unique, and for a time Tang Xu was in Lanzhou City.

And Lan Jun knew that he had misunderstood Wang Dali, and he was a little embarrassed, Wang Dali no longer had a cold face when he came back, I don't know if it was because of Lan Jun, Wang Dali's smile increased, and he came back to Tang Mansion more diligently, Tang Xu didn't know how to feel when he saw it in his eyes. However, Tang Xu was very happy that he could finally live a peaceful life again.

Tang Xu left Lan Jun alone at home again that day, and slipped out to the street to wander around, and saw a vendor on the street carrying a load of things like medicinal herbs to sell, so Tang Xu went to take a look.

"What is this?" Tang Xu grabbed a handful and put it in the palm of his hand, these things were as small as rice grains, yellow-green, and smelled familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Doctor Tang is here, this is called fennel, a medicinal herb from the west, which can regulate qi and relieve pain, can you take a look?" The peddler greeted Tang Xu very warmly, Tang Xu smiled in return, he was used to being recognized by strangers, whether he wanted to or not, now he was a household name in Lanzhou City.

"Fennel?" The name sounded familiar, but the fennel he remembered wasn't what it smelled like. Tang Xu paid for a little and wanted to go back and study it again.

With a small bag of fennel in his hand, Tang Xu continued to walk forward, the street was very lively, without the invasion of tea poison, the people seemed to be able to live and work in peace and contentment again. Tang Xu walked for a while, a little hungry, went to the restaurant and wrapped two catties of cooked mutton and walked back.

When Tang Xu went home, he saw that Lan Jun was also there, and said that he didn't have any medical treatment today, so he came back early. Tang Xu asked Lan Jun to prepare some dipping sauce to eat mutton together, but when the dipping sauce was served, Tang Xu still felt that the mutton skewers he had eaten before were not as flavorful as the ones he had eaten.

"I've always felt like something was missing." Tang Xu picked up a piece of mutton and muttered to himself.

"Heh, Tang Gongzi, have you fiddled with enough medicinal herbs, and you want to learn to cook? Do you dislike my craft? Lan Jun quipped.

"No, no, you misunderstood." Tang Xu hurriedly stuffed the meat into his mouth to show his sincerity.

After the meal, Tang Xu moved a chair to the courtyard to rest, it was easy to get sleepy when he was full of food and drink, Tang Xu leaned on the chair and fell asleep after a while, in his dream it was still the mutton skewers he was thinking about, and he was eating deliciously, but suddenly the world spun around.

"Tang Gongzi, what delicious food did you dream of?" It turned out that Lan Jun saw that he was still drooling in his sleep, which was really indecent, so he woke him up.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Tang Xu hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his saliva, but just wiped it and stopped, the handkerchief was stained with the smell of fennel, and he took out the bag of fennel that he had been carrying in his arms, where did he smell this familiar smell?

"Tang Gongzi, what are you thinking?" Lan Jun said curiously.

"Huh?" Tang Xu sighed, opened the paper packet and took out a few grains of fennel and put them on the ground, picked up a stone and grinded it, and after a while, it turned into a piece of fine minced, Tang Xu dipped a little bit of it with his fingertips and put it in his mouth.

"Tang Gongzi, what are you doing?" Lan Jun was even more surprised when he saw Tang Xu's childlike behavior.

"Haha! I said how is it so familiar, it turned out to be cumin! Tang Xu jumped up happily, so excited that he didn't notice Lan Jun's strange eyes looking at him at all.

"What is cumin?" Lan Jun asked, and also went to look at the small bag in Tang Xu's hand.

"Isn't this fennel? It is a medicinal material, produced in the Western Regions. "It's not unusual for Lan Jun not to understand this kind of thing, why is Tang Xu so excited.

"This is edible, you know?" Tang Xu stared at Lan Jun with a light in his eyes.

"It's a medicinal herb, of course you can eat it." Lan Jun is even more inexplicable.

"It's a pity that such a good thing can be used as a medicinal herb, I mean it can be used to cook." Tang Xu offered the same treasure.

"Cooking?" Lan Jun really hasn't heard of anyone cooking with fennel, the fennel flavor is strong, if you bite it directly into your mouth, I'm afraid it will make you sick to your stomach.

"Hehe, I'll show you a hand today!" After Tang Xu finished speaking, he happily rushed to the street again, this time he bought two catties of raw mutton, came back and found a handful of peppercorns in the place where the medicinal herbs were stored at home, and then went to the kitchen to start working.

Lan Jun saw that he was interested, although he was a little worried, but it was not easy to stop, and he also followed up the kitchen to see if there was anything he could help with, after all, it was usually Lan Jun who cooked, and he was afraid that he would not know where the things were. But as soon as he entered, he was kicked out by Tang Xu again, saying that he just waited to eat something delicious, don't worry. Lan Jun had no choice but to withdraw, but he didn't dare to go far, so he just stood outside the door and waited.

After a while, a thick smoke came out of the kitchen, so confused that Lan Jun couldn't open his eyes, he rushed into the kitchen in a panic, he couldn't see anything clearly, only heard Tang Xu coughing incessantly.

"Tang Gongzi! What happened to you? Come out quickly! Lan Jun groped his way inside, grabbed Tang Xu by one of his sleeves and pulled him out, until he was pulled into the courtyard.

"What's the matter, it's on fire?" Tang Xu's face was as dirty as the bottom of a pot, and Lan Jun couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it.

"No, it's really not on fire, it's just that the place inside is too small for the smoke to disperse." Tang Xu grinned, and his teeth were particularly white with a black face. The two waited outside the door for a long time, and the smoke inside slowly dispersed. Lan Jun walked into the kitchen and saw that the cooking cauldron was lifted from the stove pit and placed on the ground, and a water scoop was thrown next to it, the firewood and grass in the stove pit were wet and still scattered with residual heat.
