Chapter 177: Acacia
In the imperial study of the palace, Xing Tianqi was reviewing the folds, and not far away, Lan Tingxuan was standing, and he reported the results of his inspection to him.
Xing Tianqi originally just listened to him in detail, but when he heard that Princess Wen Hui was unconscious because of poisoning, the hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and he looked at him in shock.
"Is that true?" He asked in disbelief, this poisoning people in the palace is a capital crime, especially poisoning the royal princess.
"Seriously." Lan Tingxuan nodded seriously, in order to make sure that there was no mistake in his diagnosis, he checked it three times, and the final result was the same.
"Why was she poisoned? Why didn't the imperial doctors diagnose it? Xing Tianqi put down the imperial pen and asked with a serious face.
"Princess Wenhui is allergic to wood rhinoceros, I don't know if the emperor knows about this matter?" Lan Tingxuan didn't answer his question, but asked another question.
"Yes, I know that." Although Xing Tianqi didn't know why he asked this, he still answered truthfully.
"Wood rhinoceros is also called osmanthus, the line, the taste is spicy, into the heart, spleen, liver, stomach meridian, has the effect of gasifying phlegm, stopping bleeding and dispersing stasis, ordinary people take it absolutely beneficial and harmless, but if people with allergies smell this fragrance or eat it by mistake, they will be like the princess, there will be a lot of rashes on the body, and the itch is incomparable, more importantly, the princess's allergies are too unique, and it is generally not easy to be detected." Lan Tingxuan told everything he knew.
"No, Wenhui pollen allergy just sneezes, and there will be a rash on the face, and it will not feel itchy." Xing Tianqi shook his head and said, what he said was not the same as Princess Wenhui's pollen allergy, and he didn't believe what he said.
"If it's just pollen allergies, the princess wouldn't be like this, and she wouldn't be unconscious." Lan Tingxuan knew that he didn't quite believe what he said, if it was before, it would be difficult for him to believe it, but because Jiang Liuli loves to eat osmanthus cakes, he has studied osmanthus and knows more than ordinary people.
"Then you mean, Wen Hui didn't fall into a coma because of pollen allergies?" Xing Tianqi was a little confused by what he said, and he didn't know what was going on at all.
"If the princess is just pollen allergies, it's nothing, take some medicine and it will get better after a while, but the bad is bad, the two rare orchids in the princess's room, this flower is pure white and flawless, the taste is elegant, it can calm down after smelling for a long time, and it helps sleep." Speaking of this, he stopped, secretly looked at Xing Tianqi, and saw that he was listening carefully, so he continued to answer for him.
"The orchid itself is non-toxic, but if it is put together with the wood rhinoceros, it will be poisonous, and the fragrance emitted by the two flowers will blend together, which will make people unconscious, and the body will fail and die after a long time." What Lan Tingxuan said was all seen from the ancient medical books copied by Jiang Liuli, if he didn't have those books, he wouldn't know about them, let alone know that the princess actually had such a complex poison.
"However, the princess's situation is too special, probably because the princess accidentally ate food containing wood rhinoceros, which caused the princess to develop so slowly." It is clearly written in ancient medical books that if you eat wood rhinoceros for a long time, and then smell the orchid for a long time, it is also easy to be poisoned, but the effect is relatively slow.
"Orchid?" Xing Tianqi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, when he mentioned this pot of flowers, he thought of Princess Anle, could it be that she wanted to poison Wen Hui? They don't seem to have any holidays between them, how could they poison her?
Ming orchid is a rare flower species paid tribute by Huadu country, originally he saw that Ming orchid is very beautiful, the taste is also fresh and elegant, so he gave it to Princess Anle, who would have thought, two months later she gave it to Wen Hui, at first I thought that they were sisters, so it was given to her, but now it seems that it is not like this.
"Is Wenhui saved?" Xing Tianqi looked at Lan Tingxuan with a headache, if this matter was true, then he would have to ask Princess An Le well.
"There is a natural solution, but the princess has been poisoned for three months, and it will take some time to completely remove the poison." Lan Tingxuan said confidently.
"Okay, if you can cure Wen Hui's poison, I will reward you heavily." Xing Tianqi smiled with satisfaction, it seems that he found the right one this time.
"That's what grass people should do." Lan Tingxuan said with a smile, now he doesn't want any rewards at all, he just wants to cure the princess's poison as soon as possible, so that he can go out of the palace to find Jiang Liuli.
"If it's all right, go down." Xing Tianqi looked at the mountains of music folds and frowned, he was so busy every day that he didn't even have time to leave the palace.
Thinking of Jiang Liuli, who had been missing for two years, his heart began to hurt again, he had already sent many people to look for him, but there was still no gain, he was like evaporating from the world, without a trace, maybe Qin Siyi was right, she might really be dead.
"The grass people are retiring." Lan Tingxuan saw that Xing Tianqi seemed to think of something unhappy, and hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study.
Out of the imperial study, he returned to the courtyard where he lived, that place was specially vacated for him to live temporarily, closer to Princess Wenhui's bedroom, but there were heavy guards outside the door, no matter what he did, there were people watching, which made him very uncomfortable, feeling like a prisoner, completely without the freedom of life.
Just like now, he just went to see the emperor, and there were five royal guards behind him, and he would follow him wherever he went, so in addition to seeing the emperor, he went to Princess Wenhui's bedroom, and then he only stayed in his room and didn't go anywhere, so he had never seen the beautiful scenery in the palace.
Back in the room, he locked himself in the room again, came to the table, took out the portrait, and looked at Jiang Liuli's portrait to relieve the pain of lovesickness, if he could, he really wanted to grow wings now and fly out of the palace to find her.
After looking at the portrait for a long time, he reluctantly put it away, opened the door and walked out of the room, followed by five silent guards again.
When he came to Princess Wenhui's bedroom, the palace maid took him into the princess's boudoir, and then stood aside silently, waiting for his dispatch.
He first took the pulse of the princess, and then began to rewrite the prescription, he had seen the method of detoxification in ancient medical books, but Jiang Liuli's senior brother seemed to have a new idea, changed the method of detoxification, and even the new prescription, she also wrote it down.
After writing the prescription, he went to the Tai Hospital, personally dispensed the medicine, personally decocted the medicine, during the period he never faked his hands to others, he had seen the horror in the palace, and he didn't dare to joke with the princess's life, let alone joke with his own life, so it was necessary to be careful.
After the medicine was decocted, he personally fed the princess with the medicine, and after waiting for an hour, he saw that the princess had no discomfort, so he returned to his residence.
Not long after returning to the residence, a eunuch brought the meal time, although he had no freedom here, but the treatment was still good, except for the princess, there was nothing to worry about, the meal time was also very good, there was fish and meat every day, and it was delicious and exquisite.
After finishing the meal, Lan Tingxuan didn't fall asleep as early as usual, and now without Jiang Liuli by his side, he couldn't fall asleep, and his mind was full of her as soon as he lay down.
came to the desk, took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and began to draw portraits again, this time he painted not only Jiang Liuli, but also their daughter Lingxi, these two people, are the people he misses the most.
Just as he was engrossed, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, followed by the sound of the door closing, he looked up, but saw a strange woman standing not far away, looking at him fixedly.
"Girl, who are you looking for?" He put down his pen and looked at her defensively, he had been in the palace for so long, except for the Imperial Forest Army, no one had ever set foot in this courtyard, so her arrival made him still quite nervous.
"Miss asked me to send you a letter." She looked at Lan Tingxuan, still very puzzled in her heart, he seemed to be just a weak scholar, except for exuding a gentle aura on his body, there was nothing else special.
"Is your young lady Ruri?" Lan Tingxuan asked in disbelief, if it was really her, then her identity was by no means simple.
"Yes." Ruolan nodded, took out the letter from her waist and handed it to him.
Lan Tingxuan couldn't wait to take the letter, and opened it in front of Ruolan, there was only one poem on the letter, and nothing else.
"The red lotus fragrance remnant jade autumn, lightly relieve Luo Shang, alone on the Lanzhou, who in the clouds sends the brocade book, when the word goose returns, the moon is full in the West Building, the flowers float and the water flows, a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows, this situation can be eliminated, only to frown, but on the heart."
After reading the letter, Lan Tingxuan put it in his heart, as if he could feel her lovesickness in this way, and his heart felt swollen.
He picked up the pen and wanted to write a poem for her, but he was about to put down the pen, but he put it down, since she had come to Shengjing, could he ask the emperor to let him go back to see her?
"Where does she live now?" He looked up at Ruolan, and his desire to see her grew stronger.
"The second row of Xuanwu Street, the last house." When Ruolan saw him like this, she knew what he wanted to do, and gave the address in detail.
"I see, thanks." He smiled gratefully, picked up his pen again and wrote a poem, then put it away and put it in her hand.
Ruolan got the reply, put it away, and left the palace quietly again, this time, no one found out, such a light work, it is really amazing.
After Lan Tingxuan finished painting the portrait, he freshened up before falling asleep, but he kept thinking about how to ask the emperor for mercy, which caused him to lose sleep again.
After finally falling asleep, but it was dawn again, he got up to decoct the princess, took care of her, and then went to the emperor.
"Doctor Lan, you came to me early in the morning, what is the matter?" Xing Tianqi looked at him suspiciously, except for reporting Princess Wenhui's illness on weekdays, he couldn't see him for the rest of the time, and he had already explained the princess's situation clearly yesterday, no need to say more, why did he suddenly appear again today?
Could it be that Princess Wenhui's poison has other problems? Thinking of this, he suddenly became nervous.
"Your Majesty, the grass people have a reluctant request, and I beg the emperor for his permission." Lan Tingxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but want to ask for the emperor's permission, thinking of the poem sent by Jiang Liuli yesterday, he was even more eager to see her.
"Say." Xing Tianqi said generously, wondering what he was asking for.
"The grass people's wives and daughters have come to Shengjing, and the grass people want to go out of the palace to see them, and they will definitely come back at noon to decoct the princess." Lan Tingxuan said sincerely, although he really wanted to stay with her for a while, Princess Wenhui's poison was the most important thing.
"They arrived in Shengjing so quickly, it seems that you left with your front foot, and they chased after them." Xing Tianqi looked at him playfully, he came to Shengjing so quickly, he must have set off with him.
Lan Tingxuan smiled awkwardly, Jiang Liuli did leave with him, but she was carrying a child and couldn't hurry too fast, so it was a little slower.
"You give Wenhui's prescription to Imperial Doctor Zhang and ask him to help you decoct the medicine, it's rare that your wife and children have been traveling for so long to come to see you, come back tomorrow morning." Xing Tianqi generously agreed to his request, and even let him stay longer.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Tingxuan listened, and bowed his head gratefully, originally thinking that it would be difficult to leave the palace for half a day, who would have thought that the emperor would be so generous.
After leaving the imperial study, Lan Tingxuan couldn't wait to return to his residence, wrapped the two paintings with a soft cloth, and prepared to take them out of the palace.
