The people of the Imperial City Division did not open Concubine Chen's mouth, but pry open the mouth of the palace maid next to Concubine Chen, and only then did they know that the malaria was first infected by the eunuchs around Concubine Chen after contact with people outside the palace, and the source of infection outside the palace was found by the Khitan people from nearby, and the two fake eunuchs were Khitans who came to pick up the Khitan prince.

In other words, Concubine Chen was the inner response of the palace, in other words, the Jurchen and the Khitan joined forces, and the Jurchen betrayed the Great Zhou.

"What about Concubine Chen?" Yan Yan asked.

She had thought that there was something wrong with this woman, so she begged the queen to pay more attention to her, but who knew that the queen's people found nothing.

"Dead." The crown princess sighed.

Because the eunuch beside Concubine Chen was the first to be infected with malaria, Concubine Chen naturally couldn't avoid it, she was a deep boudoir woman from the north, where did she understand the harm of this thing?

And the imperial doctor would be busy treating the queen mother, the emperor, the prince and others, which delayed her treatment a little, and later after learning the truth, Li Cong ordered someone to close her palace and let her fend for herself.

However, because there were many things involved in this matter, Li Cong ordered someone to block the news, and said to the public that Concubine Chen's illness had entered the terminal stage.

Afterwards, Li Ji also thought about ordering someone to inform Yan Yan, no matter what, the credit for this matter should really be credited to Yan Yan, but as soon as he learned that Yan Yan was busy taking care of Li Xi and Li Ran, who were sick, Li Ji stopped thinking and focused on cleaning up the mess behind.

Fortunately, because the Artemisia annua therapy proposed by Yan Yan really worked, and the imperial doctor in the palace also asked everyone to take this prescription to prevent it, so the epidemic in the palace was basically controlled, and so far six eunuchs and palace maids have died, in addition to a four-year-old little princess and a little prince, and the other is Concubine Chen and two old concubines, Li Sui was rescued.

It is not clear how many people died in the capital, and the crown princess seemed to hear the prince read a sentence, saying that there were forty or fifty people, which is not a small number, but compared with previous epidemics, it can be regarded as lucky.

The Queen Mother is not good, she has been sick for a long time, and the condition is getting better after treatment so far, but she is not cured, there are always repetitions, no, the queen and the princess come to accompany them every day.

Yan Yan heard this and the crown princess entered the queen mother's bedroom, the queen mother was still lying on the kang, her whole face was a little out of shape, too thin, only a little skin and bones remained, her hair seemed to be a lot whiter, and her eye sockets were deeply sunken, which was very different from the rich, kind and healthy old man Yan saw two months ago.

At that time, Aunt Rong sat on the edge of the kang to feed the queen mother, the queen stood beside her, and there were two imperial doctors in the middle of the room.

Seeing Yan Yan, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up, and then two lines of tears rolled out, "Child, you're here, tell me quickly, how is Xi'er?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the eldest grandson of the emperor and the little county lord are fine, everything is fine, the Queen Mother can rest assured. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come to see you so late, I should have come earlier, I... Yan Yan's tears also fell.

When the Queen Mother heard that Li Xi and Li Ran were fine, she recited the Buddha first, and the queen on the side hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law didn't lie to you, Xi'er is really fine, but this time it's really a loss to Yan'er." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she waved her hand to Yan Yan, "Child, don't come here, you are still a pregnant woman, in case you get sick, it will be troublesome." ”

At this moment, the Queen Mother did have true feelings for Yan Yan, thinking about Yan Yan's contribution to the royal family, and thinking about the grievances Yan Yan suffered, the Queen Mother couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, "Child, I am ashamed of your grandmother's trust and did not take good care of you." ”

Seeing this, Yan Yan's heart was also sour, and he walked to the edge of the kang in a few steps, and took the bowl in Aunt Rong's hand, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I have taken medicine to prevent it, not only am I fine, my husband and Jin Niang are fine, I told many people about this prevention method, they are all fine, and Ah Zhang, they can't get out of the academy, but it's a good thing, they haven't been infected." So, your old man is good, which is the blessing of our juniors. ”

After speaking, Yan Yan wanted to feed the Queen Mother medicine, only then did he realize that something was wrong, it turned out that the Queen Mother's Artemisia annua water had been boiled.

"Aunt Rong, who made this water boil?" Yan Yan asked sharply.

"What's wrong? It was the imperial physician who asked him to cook it, and the queen mother drank the cold artemisia water and kept making her stomach, so the imperial physician proposed this method. Ah Rong was also startled when he saw that there seemed to be a faint anger on Yan Yan's face.

"This water can't be boiled, if it is boiled, it will have no medicinal effect, and the book clearly says soak it in water." Yan Yan sighed, she remembered this, she must not decoction at high temperatures, otherwise the artemisinin in it will definitely be destroyed.

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly wanted to go out, "I said that the emperor is not good, it turns out that he also drank the water of the decoction." ”

"Are you sure you can't decoction?" Aunt Rong asked.

"Sure."

At this time, the imperial doctor on the side spoke, saying that the queen mother had a weak spleen and stomach and could not drink cold Artemisia annua water.

In addition, there is another symptom similar to her is the emperor, the emperor's illness has not improved, and it is also repeated, and he is still lying on the kang, and most of the affairs of the court are handled by the prince.

Now Yan Yan is fine, she is not a doctor, she just temporarily read so many prescriptions from medical books, where do you know what a weak spleen and stomach is?

So, she could only ask the imperial doctor how to treat the weakness of the spleen and stomach.

Without waiting for the imperial doctor to speak, the Queen Mother lying on the sickbed said, "Yan'er, do you still have that yamsama powder?" I drank it very well, and after a while the doctor said that my pulse was good, and that it would be better to drink a little bit of that potato flour every time I didn't have an appetite to eat. ”

Yan Yan patted her head when she heard this, how could she forget the yam, this thing is not to treat a weak spleen and stomach.

So, she hurriedly ordered someone to go back to get it, fortunately, she left a little yam powder for herself last year in case of emergency, and sometimes Jin Niang didn't want to eat and didn't have an appetite to drink a little.

This afternoon, after Yan Yan fed the Queen Mother a bowl of yam powder, she personally fed her a bowl of Artemisia annua juice, originally she wanted to stay to serve the sick, but there were three children waiting at home, and she was a pregnant woman, so after the Queen Mother took the medicine, Yan Yan went to the south study to see the emperor.

Because the emperor wants to meet with the minister to deal with government affairs or something, he lived in the south study this month, and there are four imperial doctors on duty every day.
