Seeing Liu Chunmiao this time, although Zeng Rong didn't find any useful information from her, he said what he wanted to pass on to the imperial concubine through her, and Zeng Rong didn't know whether the other party believed it or not.

Back to the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, I met Cui Yuanhua and Du Juan walking out, one of them carried a small basket in their hands, and when they saw Zeng Rong, Cui Yuanhua didn't ask her where she came back, and directly handed the basket in her hand to Zeng Rong, and asked her to accompany Du Juan to the medicine garden to pick some mint leaves and perilla leaves.

Zeng Rong heard that perilla is used for wind cold, spleen and stomach qi stagnation, and pregnancy vomiting, and peppermint is used for external wind heat, sore throat, etc., these two things are obviously not needed by the same person.

However, Cui Yuanhua didn't say it, and Zeng Rong didn't ask, she would be more interested in the medicine garden, and she had been coming to the Pharmacopoeia Bureau for several days, but she didn't know that they still had a medicine garden.

The medicine garden is not far away, just in the northeast corner of the courtyard of the inner warden, there is a fenced open space, about one acre is more than one acre, two rough mothers-in-law are bending down to work in the field, take a closer look, there are mint, perilla, pepper, cloves, wood, cumin, motherwort and other common herbs, according to the rhododendron, these herbs, in fact, can also be used as condiments, will be added to the dishes in a timely and appropriate amount according to the imperial doctor's instructions.

These herbs are different from what Zeng Rong picked in the mountains of his hometown, therefore, except for cloves and mint, she doesn't know the rest, but fortunately, she has seen "Baicao Collection", and barely has a little impression.

It's a pity that she looked around, except for motherwort, there is no kind of medicinal material that can invigorate blood and pass menstruation, and motherwort is still mostly used for women.

Because there were outsiders, Zeng Rong didn't have much to say, and the two quickly collected all the things they wanted to use, and when they came out of the medicine garden, Zeng Rong asked what the two leaves were for.

"This mint leaf is from the Imperial Medical Department, and this perilla is from the imperial concubine." Cuckoo explained.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang?" This answer was unexpected.

Thinking of the usefulness of perilla, Zeng Rong denied the wind and cold, the season is not right, and Xiaocui said that the imperial concubine also went to Kunning Palace today, it is impossible to get sick, and it seems impossible for the spleen and stomach to stagnate, if this is the case, she can find the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for conditioning, there is no need to ask Cui Yuanhua for perilla leaves in private.

Removing these two reasons, what remains is pregnancy vomiting, that is, I don't know who the pregnant person will be?

If the imperial concubine herself is pregnant again after many years, with the emperor's favor for her, even if she is not held in the palm of her hand, it is impossible to find some perilla leaves to perfunctory.

Also, it is impossible for a pregnant woman to enter Kunning Palace to participate in the Dharma of the former empress, she will only be more weak and scared than the queen.

If she is excluded, who will be pregnant and dare not speak out?

"Sister Du Juan, do you want to send this perilla over now?" Zeng Rong asked.

"No, my aunt only asked me to send the mint leaves to the Imperial Doctor's Department, and this perilla should be handed over to my aunt."

Zeng Rong thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Idle is idle, why don't I accompany you to the Imperial Doctor's Office, recognize the door, and save yourself from finding a place if you have any errands next time." ”

"In this case, you sent it alone, and the Imperial Doctor's Office went out to the east at the Qianning Gate for a while, and after the guard's office, there was a door plaque." Cuckoo said.

Zeng Rong nodded, exchanged baskets with her, told her not to forget to decoction medicine, and then carried a basket of mint leaves and walked out, out of the inner prison gate, there is a road leading to the Qianning Gate, not far away.

There is a eunuch on duty at the Qianning Gate, who has seen Zeng Rong's token and pointed out a road to Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong walked five or six zhang away along this road to the east, and then saw the guard's office, and then the guard office went to the Taiyi Department, the gate of the Taiyi Office was wide open, and there were two apprentice-like people passing by in the courtyard, Zeng Rong stepped forward to inquire, and the other party took Zeng Rong's basket and went to the west wing, Zeng Rong stood in the courtyard and waited, looking around curiously.

This time, she wanted to try her luck to see if she could meet Imperial Doctor Zeng, this person is Zeng Rong's family, and last time he was punished for the emperor's fish bones, Zeng Rong caught his stunned expression, as if he wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Zeng Rong, but when he saw that the envoy of Liu Yuan next to him did not squeak, he did not dare to speak.

Later, he and Liu Yuan left Yaohua Palace, passing by Zeng Rong's punishment and kneeling, and Zeng Rong also noticed that he looked at him with a little sympathy.

Therefore, Zeng Rong wanted to befriend him to see if he could learn some medical knowledge from him, especially about the blood circulation meridian, of course, the premise was that he had nothing to do with the imperial concubine.

It's a pity that when he first entered the Imperial Medical Department, Zeng Rong couldn't move around at will or inquire at will, so he could only rely on luck.

The door of the upper room was wide open, and there was a sound of talking in the room, but there was a gauze curtain hanging on the door, Zeng Rong didn't dare to come forward to disturb, the doors of the wings on both sides were also open, and there were obviously people decocting medicine in the west wing, and he could smell a strong medicinal fragrance, and Zeng Rong also didn't dare to go over.

Sweeping around, Zeng Rong walked to a flower garden under the steps of the upper room, said that it was a flower garden, Zeng Rong recognized that there were several medicinal herbs planted in it, one of which was very similar to chrysanthemum should be safflower, Zeng Rong remembered that safflower This medicinal material seems not suitable for growing in the local area, the main production areas are Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shandong and Henan also have a small amount.

The function of safflower is to invigorate the blood and pass through the meridians, Zeng Rong wondered how someone could have planted it in the flower garden of the Imperial Doctor's Office.

When observing the shape and growth of this flower, the apprentice came back with an empty basket, Zeng Rong took the basket, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw five or six people rushing in outside the gate, led by Liu Yuan's envoy, and a few other faces.

When the envoy of the Liu Yuan saw Zeng Rong, he was stunned for a moment, and then recognized Zeng Rong, "It's you, are you here?" ”

Zeng Rong carried the basket and curtsied, "Back to Lord Liu, I'll send mint leaves." ”

"It just so happened that I went back and told Cui Zhangshi that the emperor had a headache, and we just sent him back to Qianning Palace, and now Imperial Doctor Zeng is doing acupuncture for him there." Envoy Liu said.

When Zeng Rong heard this, he saluted again and came out of the Imperial Doctor's Office.

Quickly returning to the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, Zeng Rong saw that the cuckoo was decocting medicine, Cui Yuanhua went out, but it just gave Zeng Rong a reason to go to Qianning Palace, she was really interested in Zeng Taiyi's acupuncture and moxibustion skills.

After a little hesitation, Zeng Rong relayed the words of the envoy of the Liu Academy, and told Du Juan that she went to Qianning Palace first, and Cui Yuanhua came back and must tell her.

The emperor was still in the upper study, and when Zeng Rong entered, he was leaning against the Luohan Collapse, his eyes closed, and Imperial Physician Zeng was standing behind his head, and Zeng Rong noticed that there were five or six bright silver needles on the emperor's head.

Seeing Zeng Rong, Imperial Physician Zeng waved his hand, Zeng Rong didn't dare to squeak, let alone step forward, just waiting at the door.
