The sky has already darkened, and the past few days have been cloudy, which makes people feel even more depressed. Yao Hei'er sat sullenly in the stuffy car tent, and lost her mind for a while.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, rolling up the curtain of the car high, sending in a cloud of dust, weeds, and leaves. Yao Hei'er was busy slapping her handkerchief indiscriminately. Suddenly, there was another explosion of thunder, and a "click" came from the sky, so frightened that Yao Hei'er almost jumped up from his seat.

It took a long time for Yao Hei'er to come back to her senses, and she looked out from the curtain of the car, but she had already arrived at the door of Jingxian Mao's house.

Yao Hei'er ordered his entourage to wait outside the gate, and came to knock on the door alone. A burst of bean-sized raindrops had fallen from the sky and poured on Yao Hei'er's body.

The mother-in-law who guarded the door was already very familiar with Yao Hei'er, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Yao Guo, I didn't expect it to be your old man, why is it this weather, and this time, your old man came here?" Come on in, isn't it? He handed over an oil-paper umbrella.

Yao Hei'er thanked him, held up an oil umbrella, and walked along the Yonglu Road to the inner hall of Jingxian Mao.

Jing Xianmao was alone, reading a book under the lamp, and her figure cast a huge black on the wall.

It was still that faint but intoxicating aroma that quietly surrounded the entire courtyard.

Hearing the footsteps, Jing Xianmao raised her head and said in surprise, "Sister? How are you? ”

Yao Hei'er didn't speak, covered the door with her backhand, and knelt down with a "poof".

Panicked, Jing Xianmao hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull it, and said in his mouth, "Sister, what's wrong?" If you have something to say, just say it. How does this work? It's a bummer. ”

Yao Hei'er said, "I have something to ask my sister, if you promise me, I will get up; If we refuse to agree, our family will die today without a place to be buried! ”

Jing Xianmao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Sister, I promise you, you just have to say anything." After a while, the girls will come in, but it's not good. ”

Yao Hei'er stood up at this time, sat down at the table with Jing Xianmao, and said in a low voice, "Sister, the prince is now infected with smallpox, and the Empress Dowager ordered me to invite my sister to go and diagnose the prince." ”

Jing Xianmao smiled lightly, "Sister, is this for you?" What's the big deal? My sister also saw my methods a few days ago, and this sick hand is coming to the rescue. ”

Yao Hei'er frowned and said, "Sister begs sister, that's it, and asks my sister not to diagnose the prince." Or, when my sister arrived in the palace, she just said that she would not cure this disease, that is. ”

"Why is that?" Jing Xianmao asked puzzled.

Yao Hei'er sighed, "Sister, don't you know? Today's crown prince is the emperor's nephew, and the queen is also pregnant now, how to arrange for the future to give birth to a prince? When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, will he have scruples about the queen's son? How can a nephew inherit the throne, but the son is left aside? My sister has also read a lot of books, is there less of this kind of thing in history? It should have been the father who died and the son who succeeded him, but now he is going to mess up the rules; First of all, those who broke the rules, how many people were not allowed to die well? And how many dynasties have died because of this incident? ”

Jing Xianmao was silent.

Yao Hei'er said again, "Sister, this matter, we are left to fate, okay?" As long as you don't take action to diagnose and treat the prince, if the prince is really good, I will accept my fate, and he should inherit the throne; If the prince can't survive...... It is also God's favor for the Great Mu Country, not to let the Great Mu Country mess up the regular order, in order to protect the prosperity of the country, don't you say? ”

Jing Xianmao said lightly, "Since my sister doesn't want me to diagnose the prince, why did she come to my house again?" ”

Yao Hei'er sighed, "It's always the queen's kindness, knowing that my sister's medical skills are like gods, and I have recommended my sister to the empress dowager." The Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace, what can I say? I only said that my sister is only good at women's science, and she shirks in every way. The Empress Dowager said that as long as my sister takes a look, no matter how good or bad the cure is, she will be grateful, and I can only agree. ”

Jing Xianmao stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Every step she took was like stepping on Yao Heier's heart.

Yao Hei'er looked at Jing Xianmao anxiously, not daring to urge, nor daring to say anything more.

After a long time, Jing Xianmao slapped his hands and said with determination, "That's it!" If I don't prescribe a prescription, I can't say it, so I will open a prescription for smallpox treatment in ordinary pharmacies, and whether it tastes good or not, it only depends on the prince's life. Sister, how do you say? ”

Yao Hei'er hurriedly kowtowed again, "Sister, that's fine." If the crown prince is really good, it is time for him to inherit the throne. I can't be unwilling! ”

Jing Xianmao walked to the corner, picked up his medicine box, and smiled lightly at Yao Hei'er, "That's the case, sister, let's go!" ”

The two walked out of the room together, and the rain fell even harder. Yao Hei'er picked up the umbrella that she had just thrown under the eaves, the two of them held it together, walked to the gate of the courtyard, got into the car, and went straight to the East Palace.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have already received the news and are already waiting in the East Palace.

Jing Xianmao diagnosed the prince's pulse, and said humbly, "The Empress Dowager, the folk girl has never learned the recipe for this disease, but she has been looking for a long time at home and found a recipe left by her father, whether it can be used, and asked the Empress Dowager to show it to the doctors of the Tai Hospital, and think about it, if something goes wrong, the folk girl will be sentenced to death!" ”

While talking, there was already a palace maid who put pen and ink under the bookcase next to him.

Jing Xianmao walked to the bookcase, pondered for a moment, lifted the pen, swish, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, wrote down a recipe, gently blew the ink marks on the paper, and presented it respectfully.

In the East Palace, there have been several imperial doctors on duty in the past few days, and the empress dowager was busy showing them to those imperial doctors.

Several imperial doctors frowned and said, "Qi Xiang Empress Dowager, this recipe is not much different from the prescription of the Wei ministers, even if it is used, it will not have much effect if you think about it." ”

Jing Xianmao hurriedly knelt down and said, "The Empress Dowager, the folk girl is shallow, and she is not good at this kind of disease, and there has been no smallpox in the cold city for decades, and the folk girl is really powerless. ”

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly darkened again, and she sighed weakly, and said for a long time, "That's it, it's no wonder you." Come on, take a hundred taels of silver and reward it to Dr. Jing. ”

Jing Xianmao hurriedly excused himself and said, "The people's daughter is useless, and she doesn't dare to accept it, so please ask the Empress Dowager to take back her fate." ”

The Empress Dowager was in no mood at this time, and she didn't say much, she waved her hand, Yao Hei'er quietly pulled Jing Xianmao's clothes, and the two slowly retreated.

Standing in the empty courtyard of the East Palace, listening to the pouring rain and crackling on the oil-paper umbrella, Jing Xianmao said softly, "Sister, the prince's illness shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?" ”

At the same time, another explosion thunder came from the sky. After the thunder passed, Yao Hei'er said, "Sister, what did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”

Jing Xianmao smiled, "It's nothing, my sister is talking to herself, this rain is really heavy, I haven't seen such a big rain for many years." ”
