In the Qing Palace, since the Jiaqing period, the Tai Hospital abolished acupuncture and moxibustion, and the reason is related to the rebellion of the eunuchs in the Tianli Sect and the palace during the Jiaqing period. The eunuchs were in turmoil, and Emperor Jiaqing and other people in the palace did not trust it, especially the medical technique of acupuncture, a slight deviation may kill people, and Emperor Jiaqing was even more respectful of this treatment, so Emperor Jiaqing ordered the hospital not to use acupuncture again.

An edict of the emperor Lao'er is simple, but the impact on the art of acupuncture and moxibustion is far-reaching, the development and inheritance of acupuncture and moxibustion have been influenced by Yan zhòng, and the family inheritance of the Chinese people has many restrictions, and finally in Xiao Yungui's era, the acupuncture and moxibustion techniques handed down are not one in ten, and many of them have been lost.

The acupuncture and moxibustion skills of the Cheng family are really unique, and the Cheng family also has ancestral training, and this set of acupuncture methods is passed on to men but not to women, but in Cheng Tieqiao's generation, his son and daughter-in-law died early, and only Cheng Lingxiu, the granddaughter, depended on each other.

Cheng Lingxiu was able to enter the palace at the beginning because of the relationship between Cixi's henchman and Huang Jingci in the hospital, and then he helped in the hospital. At the time of Xingzhen's birth, because of overwork, the root of the headache fell, by chance, Huang Jingci boldly recommended Cheng Lingxiu to use acupuncture to treat Xingzhen's headache, and after a try, the needle was really painful. Xingzhen was overjoyed and asked Cheng Lingxiu to acupuncture for herself, the root of the disease that fell during the birth was incurable, Cheng Lingxiu cooperated with soup baths, medicinal diets and acupuncture. Carefully conditioning Xingzhen's body also greatly prolongs the time of the headache, and the headache is no longer painful. But occasionally Xingzhen still has a dull pain when she overuses her brain or lacks rest, so she only needs to ask Cheng Lingxiu to come over and prick a few stitches.

Cheng Lingxiu raised her hand, gently pierced a silver needle into Xingzhen's Yingxiang acupoint, and said softly: "Queen Mother, how do you feel?" ”

Xingzhen hummed softly, her closed beautiful eyes did not open, and she said slowly: "Lingxiu's craftsmanship is good." Hongu doesn't hurt anymore. ”

Cheng Lingxiu replied obediently: "The Queen Mother has been overworked recently and has not rested well, which is to cause old troubles. Rest a lot and nourish your spirit. ”

Xingzhen hummed softly, and Cheng Lingxiu continued to apply needles on Xingzhen's arm, but at this time, An Dehai came in and said, "Queen Mother." The military aircraft department's edict on the transfer of Jiang Zhongyuan to Guangdong has already been prepared. Is it a later stamping batch red? ”

Xingzhen opened her eyes slightly, only to see Cheng Lingxiu concentrating on applying needles for herself, An Dehai's words seemed to be heard at all, Xingzhen closed her beautiful eyes and said lightly: "No need, you read it and listen to the palace, if there is nothing, it will be stamped and transferred to my sister's side, and then stamped and issued, this matter cannot be delayed." ”

At that moment, An Dehai softly recited the edict. It was to appoint Jiang Zhongyuan as the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, and to oversee the military and political affairs of the two Guangzhous to suppress bandits. control the civil and military affairs of the two provinces, and so on. The most important thing about acupuncture is that there is no distraction, if you are distracted, there will be mistakes, you must know that there will be danger if you make a mistake and use the strength improperly, after listening, Cheng Lingxiu still uses the needle steadily and quickly, and it seems that he did not listen to An Dehai's words at all.

Xingzhen snorted, opened her eyes and glanced at Cheng Lingxiu, and said lightly: "Xiao Anzi can be sealed, immediately send it to my sister to stamp the letter, and then hand it over to the military aircraft office for eight hundred miles and expeditious." ”

An Dehai snorted and hurriedly went on an errand. Xingzhen turned her head to look at Cheng Lingxiu, then closed her eyes and said, "Lingxiu, you are very good." Shicai An Dehai said so many things, you have no distractions. ”

Cheng Lingxiu sighed, and seemed to realize that Xingzhen was talking to her, and said at the moment: "The queen mother has a good reputation, and her father-in-law taught Lingxiu, there are some words in the palace that you can't listen to or remember, Lingxiu has always kept it in mind, just do your duty." ”

Xingzhen snorted and stopped talking. After a while, Cheng Lingxiu finished applying the needles, pulled out the silver needles one by one, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the acupuncture is good, has the pain been relieved?" ”

Xingzhen snorted, slowly got up from the soft couch, put on her clothes and said: "Lingxiu's stitching is really good, it really hurts." And focus on work, this will be rewarded to you. Xingzhen took off a purple gold hairpin from her head, which looked extremely precious.

Cheng Lingxiu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, took it very happily, and then retreated after packing up his things.

After Xingzhen got dressed, An Dehai walked in, Xingzhen sat on the side and drank a sip of fragrant tea and said lightly: "Do you look at Cheng Lingxiu as a long-haired secret agent?" ”

An Dehai stepped forward to comb Xingzhen's hair bun, and said in a low voice: "The slave doesn't look like it, if she is a secret agent, this edict is so important, she will definitely pay attention to it, Shicai read so much, Lingxiu girl did not pause at all in the needle, and kept focusing on the needle, as if she was not listening at all." ”

Xingzhen hummed and said, "But Shang Yu's spare place found out that Changmao sent a fine work to the palace, and he still has to dig this person out." ”

An Dehai said with some worry: "Queen Mother, it is too dangerous for you to use your golden body to do the temptation, if Cheng Lingxiu is really meticulous, and the silver needle in her hand is half a point, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" ”

Xingzhen smiled faintly and said: "I believe that Cheng Lingxiu is not, if she is really meticulous, she can take the life of this palace when she administers the needle a few times, why wait until today?" And this woman looks simple and innocent, without scheming, and she doesn't look like a fine work. ”

An Dehai combed Xingzhen's hair bun and said: "Since Miss Cheng is not a fine work, then the slave thinks that he should find out how the fine work in this palace sent the news, as long as he can catch the person who sent the news, he can find out who the fine work in the palace is." ”

Xingzhen said lightly: "Cheng Lingxiu is a person around the palace, so this person has to investigate the palace personally, and you can do the rest of the people by yourself, so you don't have to bother me anymore." But remember, the details of the palace should be secretly investigated, and if you see it, you will quietly take it down, and you should not disturb it too much, especially not to disturb your sister's side. ”

An Dehai snorted, bowed his head and snorted. Then a light smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Lingxiu returned to the Tai Hospital, and after taking out a medical plan to record Xingzhen's condition today, the location of the needle, etc., he looked at no one on the left and right. He used his own special medicinal juice to pick out the content of today's edict that An Dehai said, and after drying, he used this yellow paper page as a paper to wrap a piece of angelica with medicinal materials. Cheng Lingxiu has a very good memory, and at the same time can use two hearts, so when she applies needles to Xingzhen, she can use two purposes, and while concentrating on applying needles, she pays attention to listen to An Dehai Nian's edict. But she has always been inexperienced. I couldn't see that this was a test of her, so I wrote the news as soon as I came back and prepared to send her out of the palace.

Cheng Lingxiu stepped forward and handed over this angelica to the judge of the Tai Hospital on duty, and frowned: "Chen Yuan's judgment." Many of the angelica purchased in this purchase are dry and oil-free, brown and green in color, and cannot be used for medicine, and I have picked them all out, and they must have been smoked and dried by the pharmacist without paying attention to the heat. Return this Angelica! ”

The Chen court judge took a closer look. Sure enough, these angelicas are dry and oil-free, brownish and green in color, and cannot be used as medicine, so they immediately promised to return the medicine to the medicine envoy who purchased the medicinal materials and took them out of the palace to the drug dealer for inspection, and warned the drug dealer that he must pay attention to the quality of the medicinal materials.

After noon, the medicine envoy who purchased medicinal materials from outside the palace came back, and the Chen Yuan judge showed him the angelica, and the medicine envoy who purchased the medicinal materials was startled and hurriedly took it for inspection. Sure enough, I saw that the bag of angelica was dry and oil-free, brown and green in color, and it was said that this kind of angelica could not be used as medicinal materials. Even if you are a skilled doctor. It also needs to be used to treat the disease, sometimes the quality of the medicinal materials directly affects the effect of the treatment, the hospital has always attached great importance to the procurement of medicinal materials, if these inferior angelica is not picked out, it will inevitably affect the efficacy of the medicine, the medicine made the medicine hurriedly took over again and again to thank him, Chen Yuan did not say much, just let him pay attention to the drug test in the future.

Cheng Lingxiu on the side smiled slightly and didn't say anything, she knew that this package of medicine would definitely be handed over to the medicinal herb shop by the medicine envoy, and the medicinal herb shop was opened by Zhao Jia and Li Ding, so that Cheng Lingxiu could send the news out without Cheng Lingxiu going out of the palace in person.

Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, the medicine envoy was about to leave the palace with the bag of medicine, and when he arrived at the palace gate, there were naturally guards guarding the city to check whether everyone had any items in the palace with private collections. When the medicine envoy was inspected, the guard noticed the packet of medicine and opened it to see that it was really a packet of medicinal herbs, and the medicine envoy also said that there was a problem with this packet of angelica and he wanted to bring it to the herb dealer for inspection.

One of the imperial doctors who accompanied him also looked at the angelica, and said that there was indeed a problem, and the guard saw that the imperial doctor also said the same, and he didn't understand medicinal materials, but when he saw that the paper containing the medicine was also empty, he let it go.

The medicine envoy Kankan walked into the city gate cave, and a few guards took down the medicine envoy on the side, then opened the bag of medicinal materials, took an oil lamp and smoked it on the fire for a while, only to see that the handwriting on the yellow paper slowly appeared.

The leader of the guards looked happy, glanced at the medicine envoy sideways, and said sharply: "Take it!" The medicine envoy was stunned to see that the paper containing the herbs would show handwriting, and several wolf-like guards immediately took it down, and gagged their mouths with walnuts.

The guard took the page and came to the side of the room, only to see An Dehai leisurely sipping tea, the guard stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Gong Gong An has checked dozens of papers out of the palace in a row today, and this one really has the words written on it." ”

An Dehai glanced at the content lightly, and said with a grim face: "No one noticed." ”

The guard said, "No one is paying attention, and the brothers took it down in the cave of the city gate." ”

An Dehai snorted, and said with a cold face: "Interrogate overnight, ask this entrainee, who gave this thing, and who is going to give it to outside the palace!" ”

In front of the wolf-like guards, the medicine envoy told the truth at all, and as a result, it was Chen Yuan of the Tai Hospital who asked for the package of medicine, and he just took it out and handed it back to the medicine dealer. An Dehai saw that after several punishments, the medicine envoy was already dying, and he was still crying out for wrongdoing, but the person who confessed still hadn't changed, so he knew that this person might not know about it, but was just being used. It's just that it is a little difficult to secretly arrest the hospital judgment of the Tai Hospital, but it seems to be easier to deal with the pharmacists outside the palace. (To be continued......)
