"What? Husband, do you know what's going on? ”

It was not Mrs. Zhang who spoke, but the queen He Wan, who walked into the imperial study surrounded by several concubines and palace maids of the previous emperor.

The Imperial Room, in fact, is also a rather large palace. There are also some library pavilions nearby, all of which are precious books collected by successive emperors since the founding of the country.

Since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Luoyang, the capital of Liu Xiuding, there have been many turmoils in the court, but every turmoil has not actually involved these palace collections, and those who have made rebellions are not so bent on destroying these collections. Therefore, these collections have been well preserved.

In the library pavilion, there are many calligraphy and painting works of celebrities and celebrities in the past dynasties, or some works and theories, even some famous works of books in the Spring and Autumn Period, but those ancient texts are too profound, not to mention Liu Yi, even if it is a contemporary celebrity, I am afraid that it may not be possible to fully interpret the meaning of the words on those books. Liu Yi still remembers that in fact, people like Cai Yong, Zhang Jun, Lu Zhi, Tian Feng and others have taken care of these books in the court, corrected or edited them. In the future, Liu Yi will also hand over these books to them to sort out, and some superb and unique books or something must be collected well. For some books that are conducive to public learning, a special place similar to a library has been built for the world to observe and learn.

However, now Liu Yi does not have the time and energy to do these things, and he will have to talk about it later.

When Liu Yi saw the queen coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted him: "Sister Wan came just in time, and I have some important things to ask you." ”

"What's the matter? Is it related to the fact that we can't conceive children? The queen looked at the concubines of the former emperor on the left and right.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu couldn't help but look forward to it when they heard the words. I really hope that Liu Yi can find out the reason as much as possible, and I can't help but face Liu Yi all of them, looking a little excited.

"Well, that's the matter, I'll tell you in detail later, now, you tell me first, did you choose the palace, and soon the emperor took a fancy to it? And then it's ...... You, gave birth to Xie'er? Leo asked.

The queen's face flushed. didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, people entered the palace, and in less than a year, they gave birth to Xie'er......"

"That's right." After hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but nod his head and said.

Mrs. Zhang asked at this time: "Husband, what is the matter, you can tell me first." ”

"Don't worry, the real reason may be that it has a relationship with a woman. However, it has to be determined to be sure. Leo shook his head. He asked again: "Sister Wan, do you know where the people in the palace drink the water?" ”

"This ...... Where do people know? Who cares about drinking water? Queen He Wan looked stunned for a moment, shook her head, and said.

"Well, yes, I forgot that I don't have to worry about you eating and drinking, and it seems that I still have to go to the imperial dining room." Liu Yi patted his head and said.

Whether it's a queen or a concubine. They are all nobles, and they usually come to their hands to open their mouths, where will they know the source of their usual water? If you ask them, you won't know.

"Husband, people know something." Concubine De said at this time: "In the past, the water in the palace was transported back from outside, the concubine in the palace. Water is usually used when it comes back. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Liu Yi said to Concubine De.

"Oh, I remember too." The queen also said at this time: "It seems that there is such a thing." This seems to be a tradition in the palace, the water in the palace. It is usually transported back to a mountain in the north, where the spring water is clear, whether it is used to make tea or bathe, it is used to make that water, we have also drunk, indeed, used to make tea, it is better than ordinary water, it is said that bathing with those spring water for a long time can also make people's skin more delicate. But ......"

"Huh? But what? Leo Yi asked a little anxiously.

"I mean, it seems like we haven't had that kind of water supply in our palace for a long time." The queen closed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking.

"It's been a long time since you used the spring water there? How long? Leo Yi then asked.

"Husband, in fact, long before Emperor Huan, our palace rarely dedicated that spring water. In the past, the palace had to send a large number of people to the mountains in the north to carry water back, and in order to use water, there was a suspicion of labor and money, so the later emperor stopped this kind of behavior, and we usually only occasionally use the spring water. Concubine De said.

Since Emperor Huan, the national power of the Han Dynasty has been declining, and the people are not living well, and the Han family naturally cannot be so extravagant, and the water must be used from a high-quality spring somewhere outside the city. Very early on, there was no department dedicated to women.

The palace is so big that it consumes a lot of water every day, and it is impossible to use it like this anymore. Only occasionally, will I go to fetch some high-quality spring water and bring it back for some concubines.

Liu Yi listened, stopped the queen and the concubines from replying: "Okay, this matter probably has nothing to do with the spring water, because you rarely drink it, and you definitely haven't drunk it recently." I'll go to the Imperial Dining Room and ask. As long as you understand the source of your usual water in the palace, you can almost determine why you can't conceive a child. ”

"Then, I'll call someone to call the people from the imperial dining room and ask." Queen's Road.

"No, I'll see for myself." Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "Ask them may not be able to say a matter of course, or I have seen it with my own eyes to determine whether there is a problem with your water use." ”

Liu Yi said, and let Gong Shui lead the way to the imperial dining room.

The women were also curious, followed Liu Yi, and went to the imperial dining room together.

The people in the imperial dining room are not from the palace before, although there are still some people, but most of them are new noodles, and they are all people who stayed in the palace after Liu Yi obtained Luoyang.

Liu Yi took the Empress Dowager and a group of concubines of the first emperor, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Yi and other daughters, as well as Princess Yang'an, who came from Wen Xun. Seeing that Taifu and so many women in the imperial dining room suddenly came to the imperial dining room, they thought that something was wrong with their work, and they were all a little frightened.

As for Princess Yang'an, she knows something about the situation. I also thought that the women in the palace were infertile because of the problems of the people in the imperial dining room. As soon as she arrived, she was so majestic that all the people in the dining room fell to their knees in fear.

"You guys keep busy, don't be afraid, there's nothing big going on." Liu Yi stopped the Duke of Yang'an from questioning those people, and said to them: "Call your steward, I just need to ask about some things." ”

Liu Yi did not suspect that it was the people in the imperial dining room who made a move, so. There was no reprimand for these people.

"Taifu, the little one is called Fu Rong, and he is the steward of the imperial dining room." A somewhat obese eunuch knelt in front of Liu Yi and said with a little trembling.

"Get up." Liu Yi glanced at him, nodded and said, "I want to know, where did you get the water for eating and drinking in the palace?" ”

"Mrs. Yu, our water is all well water from the palace." Fu Rong said: "Originally. In the past, water was drawn from outside the palace, and there was also a waterway that led water into the palace. However, it has not been taken from outside the palace for a long time, and the waterway has been blocked for a long time, and the water source is not very good. ”

"I see, then. The people in the palace eat, drink, and use water from wells? When were these wells drilled? Leo asked again.

"The well has always been there, and I don't know exactly when it was dug yet, but it is said that there are hundreds of years without decades. Heard. In the past, after an emperor ordered that water should no longer be drawn from outside the palace, he dug a well in the palace. Fu Rong said cautiously.

"So, how many wells are there in the palace? All the people in the palace. Do you use water from those wells? ”

"I don't know how many wells there are in the palace, but the water we usually use is only the water from the three wells near the imperial dining room.

Almost all the people in the palace used water from these three wells. We fetched water, and there will be special people to send it to the mothers of each palace and palace. Fu Rong seemed to be recalling: "When the first emperor was in power, some Niangniang's palaces also had wells, and the water was not necessarily taken from these wells. ”

"Well, now take me to see those three wells." Liu Yi almost completely understood in his heart, and now, he only needed to determine whether there was a problem with the water in the three wells.

The wells that supplied water to the emperor and the imperial concubines in the palace were in a garden outside the imperial dining room, less than a few dozen steps apart, and there were pavilions and other buildings to protect the wells, and the well platforms were made of white jade bricks.

Liu Yi looked at the three wells separately, and brought water up to inspect them with his own hands, and tried a few sips.

The well water is clean, you can't see anything on the surface, and it tastes very cool and a little sweet, as if there is any problem. For a while, it was difficult for Liu Yi to determine whether there was a problem with these well waters.

However, what Liu Yi can be sure of is that these well waters are really not ordinary well water, but should be some well water with the characteristics of Ganchong mineral.

In later generations, Liu Yi drank countless mineral water, pure water, steamed water and so on. Usually, you may not care too much about it, and you don't think that no matter what kind of water it is, it's not drinking? However, anyone who really pays attention will find that in fact, the taste and texture of each mineral water are different.

Some water is sweet and fragrant when drunk, and some water is soft to drink, and some will have a stiff texture, which is usually called choking. Of course, these details of daily life are not noticeable if you don't pay attention to them.

In the past, Liu Yi was indeed a person who paid more attention to the details of life, and he was often able to taste that different brands of mineral water had different tastes, and even the taste would be very different. Not only mineral water, but also those drinks, such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola, two drinks with very similar tastes, Liu Yi can tell the difference in taste and texture of some of them.

Pepsi is a bit sweet, whereas Coca-Cola is a bit sweet.

In any case, Liu Yi can now be sure that these three wells are all well water with some kind of mineral, and the reason why the women in the palace cannot conceive children is most likely due to the problem of drinking these well water.

Liu Yi knew that some minerals would indeed lead some women to be infertile, and it was strange that the women in the palace could still get pregnant after drinking the water of these three wells for a long time. Although Liu Yi could not see what the minerals contained in the well water were, and there was no way to detect these minerals in the current situation, it was confirmed. This must be the problem.

It's easy to prove if there's a problem with the well water and see if they can conceive their own children.

Liu Yi did not explain the situation to the women at the scene, but returned to the imperial dining room with the women.

Lewi then investigated the palaces where the woman who had conceived a child for the emperor lived, and sent people to inspect them to see if there were wells in those palaces, and if so, to ask them to fetch some water.

As a result, the survey concluded that the abode of the women who were able to conceive the dragon seed. There are wells, including the original Queen's Palace, and there is a well in the palace. After Liu Yi drank the well water, he found that it was really different from the well water of the three wells, and the taste was completely different.

From this, Leo can draw a conclusion. In the palace, those palace concubines who can conceive children, they don't just use the water from the three wells outside the imperial dining room. More often with water from wells in their own palaces. In addition, most of them were newly elected to the palace, and they were soon favored by the emperor. And then conceived a baby. In this way, it is even more convincing to prove that there is a problem with the water in the three wells.

However, it is also miraculous to say that the water from the three wells is better than the water from the various wells in the palace, both in taste and texture, and is better than other wells. Drinking that well water doesn't seem to hurt the body, but it just makes a woman infertile.

Perhaps, some people will say that there are not only three wells in the palace, why only three wells have problems, and the water from other wells is not a problem? This one. Actually, it's not surprising at all. If anyone has ever seen a well, they will know that there really is such a miraculous thing in this world. (Xiaozuo's family has had this experience before, digging a well in front of the house.) The well water smells like a dead snake and is not drinkable at all. However, another well was drilled less than ten meters away from the well, and the water was very clear and delicious. Before that, the neighbor who was only 20 meters away from the little writer, his house drilled a well, and the well water had an iron smell and could not be drunk, but a few meters away from the well was drilled, and the well water was normal. The real event is not a fool. ）

In order to confirm Liu Yi's guess, Liu Yi decided to do an experiment.

In the expectation of the women, Liu Yi expressed the doubts in their hearts and said: "Sister Wan, several mothers, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Ding, now, I can basically be sure why you can't conceive a child." The reason for this is because of the water problem in the three wells. ”

"Huh? Impossible, right? We can't conceive children, how can it have something to do with well water? Mrs. Zhang looked suspicious, and said a little stunned: "Husband, people just casually say, there can't really be a spring water in this world, right?" ”

"What about springs? If a pregnant woman usually doesn't pay attention to eating and drinking, eating the wrong thing, drinking the wrong thing, it will definitely lead to a miscarriage, and eating raw and cold things when it is cold, even if it is some fruit, it will also cause a miscarriage. Liu Yi said with a stern expression: "Actually, if you really want to talk about the spring water of the birth, there is really one." ”

"You may not know clearly, in fact, whether it is spring water or river water, as long as it is water, it will contain many different minerals, including lithium, strontium, zinc, selenium, bromide, iodide, metasilicic acid, free carbon dioxide and other minerals, some of which are harmful to the human body, but most of them are good. Some minerals can lead to infertility in women, which is not surprising at all. Lewy said with a stiff finger.

However, none of these women can understand what Liu Yi said, if Yuan Qing is here, he may be able to know why Liu Yi knows these minerals. But Yuan Qing is not here, so the girls just look at me with strange expressions.

Liu Yi also noticed the expressions of the women, and couldn't help but spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, I didn't say it." ”

"But you have to explain to us why we can't conceive your child. In the future, how can we give birth to children for your husband? The women asked.

"Well, this, actually, I've already said it, you can roughly understand what it is when you think about it." Liu Yidao: "Through these palace records, everyone must know one thing, that is, these women who can give birth to children for the first emperor or can conceive children are all women who have just been sent to the palace, and they have not drunk too much water from the three palace wells. Based on this, it can basically be solved that there is a problem with the three Miyai. Secondly, almost all women who are pregnant with dragons, the palace where they live will have wells, which also allows them to directly reduce the amount of well water used in the three palace wells, and the other palace concubines, they all drank the water of the three palace wells from the beginning, and there was no case of being able to conceive a child. When I say that, do you all understand? ”

"I see, the water quality of the three wells is good, and the palace meals are usually made with those well water, so the people in the palace eat the well water from the three wells. No wonder ......" the queen seemed to suddenly realize.

All the women understood a little, but after they understood, their faces were all strange.

This, the main reason is that they all thought about why the Liu family of the Han family has been so thin in recent decades. Because of the problem of these three wells, there is no successor to the royal family, this kind of thing is really weird, if it weren't for Liu Yi, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the truth is so.
