Chapter 161: The Emperor's Strange Illness

Ning Ke didn't know the next episode, and after entering the palace, he and Chu Junyue were busy with their own affairs.

Some time ago, she didn't have much time to come to Tai Hospital, but after the business stabilized, she focused on it again.

The Imperial Palace, that is the center of power, how many secrets cannot be known from the outside.

She kept a hand in advance, which is naturally good.

Today, the head of the Tai Hospital instructed her to send a decoction to the emperor, and it stands to reason that another person was responsible for it, and I don't know why it was pushed on her head in the end.

But she could tell from the faces of everyone that it must be a tricky matter, or it wouldn't have fallen on her.

The emperor suddenly fell ill for a while, and asked the imperial doctor to see him several times, but he never got better, and the emperor's irritable temperament was naturally annoyed, and he had to be punished, so this drudgery was given to her.

Ning Ke happily agreed, she had never had a chance to get close to the emperor, and she took advantage of this opportunity to see what the emperor's illness was and why he was so strange.

After cutting off the medicine, she went directly to the Qianqing Palace, and Gonggong Chen stayed outside, suggesting that she wait, there were guests inside.

She stood honestly outside and waited, not knowing what was going on inside, and from time to time there was a few sounds of falling things, or angry yellings.

She tried hard to hear what was being said, but she could only vaguely hear words that were likeβ€”

"Shikoku...... Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet....... Disputes...... And pro"

The sound inside was too mixed, the sound of falling things ping-pong, and then the sound of anger that could not be argued, and the porridge rang together, and she could no longer hear the specific things.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of steady footsteps inside, and the door opened from the inside.

Ning Ke looked up, but he didn't expect it to be Chu Junyue, he said in the morning that he wanted to talk to His Majesty about things, and it seemed that it really was.

However, what kind of big thing can cause the two to quarrel like this?

Chu Junyue also suddenly raised his head at that time, and when he found her here, a strange look flashed across his face, and then he pursed his lips, bowed his head slightly, and walked away quickly.

Ning Ke frowned, the more strange he felt, why did he have such an expression?

"Imperial Physician Wang, Imperial Physician Wang?!"

Gonggong Chen called her several times before she withdrew her gaze and smiled, "Yes, the lower official will send the medicine in now." ”

Suddenly, she paused again, lowered her voice and asked, "Xiaguan asks more, is Your Majesty uncomfortable on weekdays?"

Gonggong Chen laughed dryly a few times, but he didn't speak.

Ning Ke understood, this is an opening fee!

Fortunately, in the morning, she deducted a few gems from the Pixiu stored in the Regent's Mansion, thinking that she would always be able to use them, but she didn't expect them to be used so quickly.

"Father-in-law, look......." Ning Ke's sleeves flicked, and the emerald the size of her thumb appeared in her palm, and she quietly stuffed it into Gonggong Chen's hand, "You just tell Xiaguan! lest Xiaguan don't know anything, and accidentally go in and anger Long Wei." ”

She also heard that His Majesty's temper has become very strange recently, irritable and irritable, and every time someone from the hospital goes, he will be scolded or beaten.

Gonggong Chen comprehended, quietly stuffed back into his sleeve, and immediately piled up a rich smile on his face, beckoning her to come closer.

"Your Majesty's symptoms are strange, often saying that the whole body is uncomfortable, bone pain, flesh pain, chest tightness, abdominal pain and vomiting, which is almost winter, and sweating wet clothes. He sighed, "The people from the Tai Hospital have come a few times, but they can't say any symptoms, and Your Majesty's temper has become irritable because of physical discomfort, so he has not punished people less." ”

"That's it!" Ning Ke pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then how is Your Majesty's diet lately?"

Gonggong Chen said truthfully: "Your Majesty is the same as usual, nothing special. I don't know if it's almost winter, and the seasons will change like this. ”

Wrong!

Ning Ke felt that it was wrong, it was impossible for a person to get sick for no reason, and the symptoms that Chen Gonggong said were not like illness, but like a common phenomenon in modern times.

But that was all her guess, and as for whether it was or not, she had to go in and see for herself.

"Thank you father-in-law for your advice, and the lower official is grateful. Ning Ke smiled kindly, and stuffed Gonggong Chen with an emerald gem.

"Well, let's go!" Gonggong Chen smiled even brighter, and reminded her very kindly, "Your Majesty has been unwell recently, and you are afraid of noisy, so you should move lightly when you enter, don't anger Your Majesty." ”

"Understood. ”

Ning Ke thanked Gonggong Chen again and again, and then he lightened his steps and walked in with his eyebrows lowered.

In the palace, the windows were closed airtightly, and the curtains on all sides were lowered, so that no light could shine in. There was a strange smell in the air, and it looked like it hadn't been breathed for a long time.

She pursed her lips, buried her head lower, and walked briskly inside.

At that time, Chu Lingyue leaned crookedly on the dragon couch, the dragon robe was messy by him, his face was pale, his eyes were black, and his spirit was depressed.

Probably very uncomfortable, he gasped for breath, and his mouth kept muffling and screaming that he was uncomfortable.

The palace maids gathered around him, pinching their heads, their arms, and their legs...... There are people waiting for each part.

Ning Ke narrowed Ling Ling's eyes, and the thought in his mind was even more certain.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine. She put the bowl down and let out a low call.

The emperor didn't seem to hear it, and he was talking to himself in a trance, humming and chirping, and seemed to be really uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty!" she raised her voice a little, "Your Majesty has drunk the medicine, and it will be more comfortable to drink the medicine." ”

At this moment, as if he had just heard, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Lady Concubine......! Soup!" he said and was about to bounce up, looking around for someone.

The palace maid hurriedly helped him and explained a few words in a low voice, and then the emperor glanced over with a cold face, and when he saw that it was the clothes of the Tai Hospital, his face suddenly sank.

"It's the waste of the Tai Hospital again! My illness has not been good, you still have the face!" After a pause, he stared at Ning Ke a few more times, with a suspicious expression, and said nervously: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"

Ning Ke lowered his eyebrows and replied truthfully, "Weichen is Wang Ke of Tai Hospital, and he is also a disciple of the doctor, and he has just arrived. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a disciple of the Medical Saint. After hearing the name of the medical saint, the emperor's face softened a little, waved his hand, let the palace maids let go, and sat up from the couch with great difficulty.

Ning Ke immediately picked up the decoction, didn't let the palace maid handle it, and handed it to the emperor personally, "Your Majesty, the temperature of the decoction is just right, drink it while it's hot!"

"Your medicine in the hospital is useless! I still hurt!" the emperor refused to drink, and his face showed a thin anger, "It's all useless!"

"Your Majesty, you have to have a course of medicine when you take medicine, and you can naturally recuperate after drinking a few more times. Ning Ke persuaded hard, and after saying everything that was good to say, the emperor's face looked better, "Hmph, I believe you this time for the sake of the medical saint's face!"

Ning Ke hurriedly handed the medicine over, and the emperor reached out to take it, and in such a short contact, Ning Ke had already quietly slid over his wrist and felt the pulse.

Really....... It was really as she thought.

The emperor drank the medicine, seemed to feel a little more comfortable, didn't say anything, waved his hand to let Ning Ke retreat, and lay back again.

That's too much hospital can't help, deliberately added tranquilizers and painkillers in the medicine, no matter what, let's treat the symptoms first!

When Ning Ke went out to leave, he happened to bump into Concubine Shu coming over, and the palace maid behind her was holding a stew cup, which seemed to be given to the emperor.

When did Concubine Shu get so close to the emperor?

Before, because of Chu Yuxuan's matter, the emperor was very dissatisfied with Concubine Shu, but because of the power of the Lin family, he could pretend on the surface, but he never had much favor in private.

Maybe the queen is gone, and the queen mother is a fake, the emperor feels empty and lonely for a while, and wants to find someone to fill the vacancy in his heart, which gives Concubine Shu the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes, and the relationship is also getting closer.

It is said that the emperor also acquiesced in Chu Yuxuan's visit to the palace, does this imply something?

She frowned slightly, feeling more and more that some conspiracy was approaching, and just recently, it was about to erupt.

As for what it was, she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Niangniang is here to bring soup to Your Majesty again?" Gonggong Chen took the lead and stepped forward, looking like he was used to Concubine Shu's behavior of sending soup, "Your Majesty has just drunk medicine, and it must not taste good in your mouth, Your Majesty loves to drink Niangniang's stewed soup on weekdays, and you can't leave it for a day." ”

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled, her face was proud and proud, "Father-in-law said that it was the duty of this palace, as long as Your Majesty is good, everything in this palace is worth it." ”

"Yes, yes, the mother is virtuous and dignified, no wonder Your Majesty loves her. Father-in-law Chen's mouth was smeared with honey, and he said good things, coaxing the concubine to be excited, and with a look, the palace maid gave a reward.

Gonggong Chen's eyes narrowed with laughter, opened the door flatteringly, and led Concubine Shu in.

From beginning to end, Ning Ke lowered her head and flashed to the side, but Concubine Shu did not notice her existence.

It wasn't until Concubine Shu entered the house that she raised her head, and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes.

*

Coming out of the palace, Ning Ke didn't go to the restaurant, and went directly to Baolinzhai to find Old Man Hu.

Since Lu Que followed Chu Yuxuan back to Kyoto, this disfigured old man known as a ghost doctor has not appeared again, and even Old Man Hu has been hiding in his room all day long to study various medical books and medicinal materials, and she has not seen him for a long time.

She guessed that it was probably to face the ghost doctor, and Old Man Hu was making up for it!

"What about Old Man Hu, who is nibbling on a book in the room again?" she asked her disciples as soon as she entered the door.

The disciple sighed, "Isn't it? The master has been in a state of madness for a while, and has been tinkering in the room all day long, without eating or drinking for several days." You're just in time, let's go see the master! we can't even get in!"

"Okay. Ning Ke nodded, turned around and went to the backyard, there was no old man Hu in the grass house, it seemed that he was really working hard.

"Hahaha! It's done! It's done!

Suddenly, there was a cheer in the room behind him, and then the door opened, only to see a gray figure rushing out.

Ning Ke took a serious look, only to find that this unkempt and dirty old man was the medical saint, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Hahahaha! I finally succeeded!" Old man Hu kissed and kissed while holding a jar of medicine, jumping and jumping.

Ning Ke couldn't stand it, so he walked over and slapped it, "What did you do successfully?

"Huh?" As soon as Old Man Hu turned around and saw that she was also there, he smiled even more happily, and immediately took it out to show off, "This thing of mine is amazing! Look at it, you can cure all kinds of poisons!"

Ning Ke glanced at the black pills in the jar, and the choking smell made her cover her mouth and nose and dodge a little.

"Okay, okay, you put it away, I'm here to ask you about something. ”

Old man Hu grinned, sealed the jar, and wrapped it in his arms like a baby, "What do you want to ask?

"Good. Ning Ke looked into his eyes and asked word by word, "What I want to ask is ......."
