Huangfu Heng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Old Linggong, who is Arudo?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This Arudo is a Persian witch doctor, who came from Guangzhou, and it was the lion king who paid tribute to the emperor's witch doctor, and she will prepare some magical medicine." ”

Ma Yuanzhen said in a low voice: "Especially in the treatment of sexual affairs, it is very effective, and she is very favored by the emperor, and she has been rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver and countless rare treasures." ”

Huangfu Heng listened to Ma Yuanzhen's meaning, it seemed that his father had already taken medicine, he was even more suspicious in his heart, and asked again: "But..... How could the imperial doctors allow this witch doctor's medicine of unknown origin? ”

"The imperial doctors have also tested his medicine, which is a kind of medicine that tonifies the kidney and aphrodisiacs, and there is no problem with the medicinal materials used, but there are two kinds of medicine in the middle earth that are very rare, and the imperial doctors have also heard that they can take it in small amounts, and the effect of taking it by the saint is very good, but it is ....."

"Just what?" Huang Fuheng asked nervously.

"It's just that after the emperor took this medicine, he began to favor Concubine Shen Shu again, which caught the imperial doctors by surprise, and now they can't break it."

"So that's it?" Huangfu Heng was thoughtful.

At this time, I only heard someone shouting outside the hall: "Ma Linggong, the emperor can't take this medicine anymore, the harm is endless, Ma Linggong persuaded the emperor to stop this medicine!" ”

Huangfu Heng and Ma Yuanzhen walked out of the side hall quickly, only to see a person kneeling on the ground, several guards held him down, and was struggling to stand up, this person had white hair, Ma Yuanzhen knew him, he was an old doctor in the Imperial Doctor's Department, surnamed Jane, famous for his upright speech, very offended people, he had been a royal doctor for decades, and he didn't even mix up his official qualities, and he rarely had the opportunity to see a doctor for the emperor, and he only diagnosed Queen Shen once.

When Imperial Physician Jian saw Ma Yuanzhen coming out, he shouted even more: "Ma Linggong, please listen to my advice, the emperor can't take that kind of medicine anymore!" ”

"Bold!" Huang Fuheng shouted angrily, "This is the important place of the Forbidden Palace, how can you be allowed to yell here and drag me out!" ”

The guards grabbed Imperial Physician Jian and dragged him out, and Imperial Physician Jian shouted, "Ma Linggong, the emperor will not live long if he takes that kind of medicine!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen waved his hand to stop the guards, and at this time, Zhao Ruzheng, the director of the Imperial Medical Department, hurriedly came and apologized to Ma Yuanzhen and Huang Fuheng repeatedly, "This old killer came to spread wild after drinking a few glasses of wine, which frightened Ma Linggong and His Royal Highness, and it was the lower officials who had no way to control it." Imperial Doctor Jian scolded angrily: "Zhao Bentou, what are you talking nonsense, when will I drink?" ”

Zhao Ruzheng's forehead is particularly big, and his colleagues jokingly call him Bentou behind his back, which has always been a taboo in his heart, but he was shouted out by Imperial Doctor Jian in front of Ma Yuanzhen and Huangfu Heng, which made him hate him in his heart.

"You bastard! Don't disgrace me, get me out! ”

"Wait!"

Ma Yuanzhen stopped everyone, he stepped forward and asked Imperial Doctor Jian, "How do you say that this medicine is harmful?" ”

Imperial Physician Jian hurriedly said: "Ma Linggong, although there is no problem with this medicine, it can also tonify the kidneys and strengthen the yang, but the aphrodisiac power of this medicine is too strong, it will make people indulge, and the harm caused by indulgence to the emperor is far greater than that of medicine, so I say that this medicine is harmful." ”

Ma Yuanzhen asked Zhao Ruliang again, "Zhao Zhizheng, what he said is right?" ”

Zhao Ruliang glared at Imperial Physician Jian fiercely, bowed down to Ma Yuanzhen and said: "Lao Linggong doesn't know, this medicine is a joint appraisal of more than a dozen old imperial doctors from our Imperial Doctor's Department, there is no problem with the medicine, in fact, the emperor's problem is kidney loss, the kidney meridian is too badly damaged, resulting in paralysis of both legs, to make the emperor stand up, you must start with the kidney, but any kidney tonic medicine has an aphrodisiac effect, it can more or less aphrodisiac, this is not a problem with the medicine itself, this is the emperor's self-control ability, the queen needs to arrange, but the current situation is ....."

"Nonsense!"

Imperial Doctor Jian shouted: "This is his desire to please the emperor in order to protect his official position, the solid aphrodisiac must be thin and long, ten days and a half months will not have obvious effects, and there will be no aphrodisiac effect, this is in order to protect themselves, please the emperor, and with a clear conscience agree to the emperor to take Hu medicine, the effect is very good, but in the end it is to harm the emperor, Lao Linggong, this is not the way of medicine, this is the way of officials." ”

"You.... You fart! ”

Zhao Ruliang trembled with anger and explained to Ma Yuanzhen, "I practiced medicine at the age of fifteen, and I have been practicing medicine for forty years, and I have been in the palace as a imperial doctor for twenty years, don't I understand the minimum medical skills?" Although Doctor Hu is not an orthodox medical skill, it also has merits and cannot be erased, which is obviously because this person has not been reused for a long time, is jealous, and uses the topic to play. ”

Imperial Physician Jian wanted to shout again, but Huangfu Heng couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily, "Enough!" ”

He pointed at Imperial Physician Jian and said: "The imperial court has its own law, the upper and lower levels are respectful and humble, and the hierarchy is strict, you are just a small imperial doctor, if you have any objections, you can report to your superiors, but you run over your superiors to roar the palace, if everyone learns from you, won't it mess up the court etiquette system?" I think you are a good heart, I will not pursue you today, if there is a next time, I will beat you to death and blast me out! ”

Ma Yuanzhen didn't say anything, the prince has made it very clear that the department is responsible for the accident, not this Imperial Doctor Jian, who is responsible for who is in charge, this is the least truth, he believes in Zhao Ruliang's judgment, he has been the imperial doctor for 20 years, if something happens to the emperor, he can't escape responsibility, this is the least truth Zhao Ruliang should understand, so Zhao Ruliang should be respected, let alone sweep the prince's face.

Several guards saw that Ma Yuanzhen did not object, so they grabbed Imperial Doctor Jian and dragged him out, Imperial Doctor Jian shouted, but no one listened to him anymore, Ma Yuanzhen said slowly to Zhao Ruliang: "Although Doctor Hu's medicine is effective, you can't take it lightly, you have to nourish the emperor in many ways, and you can't let the last thing happen again, remember?" ”

"The subordinate remembers, so I'll go back and discuss with my colleagues."

Zhao Ruliang was very relieved to see that the damned Imperial Doctor Jian was dragged down, and hurriedly retreated, and then several guards brought in a dark-skinned witch doctor, who was the witch Arudo.

The witch doctor was dark and small, and she only thought it was mysterious, but she could not tell her age, she looked like forty years old, and she looked like ninety years old, she claimed to be one hundred and fifty years old, and the Lion King said that she was more than a hundred years old.

She did not speak Chinese, and her son, a man who was also dark and thin, was her spokesperson, and all her body movements and a language as strange as birdsong, which even the people of the lion country could not understand, were translated by her son, who knew a rough amount of Chinese.

She was holding a black box made of unknown materials in her hand, she slowly walked in front of Ma Yuanzhen, and her black and thin hands like chicken feet suddenly lifted the box high, and the lightning-fast movement made Huang Fuheng also startled, only to hear her chirping.

Her son translated in stiff Chinese beside her, "This is a holy medicine given by God, which contains the Yuanyang of God, and will make the emperor feel the existence of God." ”

The witch doctor opened the box, and Huang Fuheng looked at it curiously, only to see that there were six pills the size of a pigeon's egg, which were vermilion and quite bright in color.

Ma Yuanzhen nodded, "Thank you for the medicine, go down!" The emperor will give you a heavy reward. ”

The witch shouted again with excitement, and her son translated: "God says that he needs a manor to practice, and this manor must be the size of a city to accommodate the incomparably large body of the gods, in order to give the emperor better medicine, and the manor needs tens of thousands of people, houses, and land, and they will cultivate food, they can make utensils, and women will sacrifice themselves to God." ”

"I see, go down and rest!"

Ma Yuanzhen always replied mechanically, coldly, without any emotion, he seemed to have found a way to deal with this witch, and he was too enthusiastic and grateful, which would make this witch's ** swell to the zenith, but the emperor was willing to meet their requirements.

Imperial Physician Zhao Ruliang carefully took the medicine box, the witch Arudo and her son retreated, Zhao Ruliang bowed and said, "Ma Linggong, then I will go down to test the pills." ”

"Go ahead! The emperor will take medicine tomorrow, and you had better get it tested tonight. ”

When everyone retreated, Ma Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and said to Huangfu Heng: "Your Highness has seen it!" Last time, this witch said that she needed a boat full of silver to receive the gods, and the emperor rewarded her with 100,000 taels of silver, what did she want this time, does Your Highness understand? ”

Huangfu Heng groaned and said, "I feel that what she wants is not a manor, but a county seat!" ”

"That's right! She wanted a county seat, or her son wanted it, and they would be the masters of the county, and everyone would be their slaves. ”

"How is that possible?"

Huangfu Heng sneered, "What did they do with the Daning Dynasty?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen also smiled faintly and said: "I will tell the emperor that they want a manor, this is what they said, I heard it clearly." ”

Huang Fuheng nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Ruliang, the distant imperial doctor, and his eyes flickered.

．．．．．．．．． The Taiyi Department is actually a kind of official position, it is the highest official position of the Taiyi Department, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple, and the official quality of the Taiyi Department is not large, only from the seventh grade, but he has jurisdiction over more than 100 doctors with the highest medical skills in the Daning Dynasty.

Most of the time, their official offices are in the imperial city, and there will be several imperial doctors on duty in the palace and in the official office every day to prevent emergencies, while other doctors go home like most officials, and then go home to the doctor, that is a private matter, is to collect the consultation fee, just like the imperial doctor in "Dream of Red Mansions", in fact, it is the private reception of the imperial doctor.

The hot spring palace is still more than 20 miles away from Yongjing City, it snows heavily, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, but tens of thousands of soldiers still clear a road, so that the capital and the hot spring palace can come and go in time, there will be five imperial doctors on duty in the hot spring palace every day, and then another group of people will be changed after three days.

During this time, the emperor's condition was very stable, and there were even signs of gradual improvement, and the imperial doctors were relatively relaxed, and two days later, Zhao Ruliang handed over his shift and returned to the capital.

When the carriage arrived in the capital, it was already dark, Zhao Ruliang got out of the carriage with the medicine box, he was just about to enter the house, but two guards appeared in the dark, and saluted him and said: "Zhao Zheng, the prince is feeling sick, please go to the department for treatment!" ”

Zhao Ruliang was stunned, there is a doctor on duty in the East Palace! Why go on your own?

．．．．．．．．．
