Chapter 196: Your Birthday Gift
The small room was full of books of all colors, and the doctors were talking about something.
Zhao Chen walked in quickly, stopping the people who were about to salute, "Hurry up and say the way, and don't say anything about those you don't understand." ”
"How many infected people have high fevers that are difficult to retreat, and their bodies are full of poisonous blood... Evolves into a pustular rash. "Humanitarian," Xia Guan came up with a strong antipyretic method, and cooperated with Imperial Physician Guo's method of blood drainage..."
Zhao Chen asked directly: "Have you tried it?" Effective? ”
"Time is too tight, Xiaguan and others have tried it on several victims, and it has been effective, but it is not sure if it can really be cured in the end."
"Prince Wu, the lower officials have also come up with a way." The imperial physician surnamed Gu squeezed forward, his eyes full of fanaticism, "Take the blood of those who have been cured of pox or smallpox, and gradually exchange it into the patient's body..."
It sounded very unreliable, but Zhao Chen still said: "Go and ask His Royal Highness King Ji to put some blood for you, the royal pox is better." ”
After that, many imperial doctors said their own methods, but none of them were sure to be cured.
Zhao Chen rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Originally, the solution found by Imperial Physician Yu and Doctor Fu Shen was the most promising, but unfortunately—" Someone shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Zhongjing inquiringly.
Yu Zhongjing said: "Fu Shen Doctor and Xia Guan looked through the classics and found that someone had cured smallpox and left a prescription, but unfortunately the war was extinguished, the Nalan clan had long since died out, and the prescription was nowhere to be found..."
"You, you said the Nalan clan?" Zhao Chen clenched his palms and fingers and asked steadily, "They have cured smallpox?" ”
Yu Zhong nodded, "The successive kings of Nalan will tattoo totems, which are not only a symbol of the king, but also represent the blessing of God, protecting the king from all diseases and all evils." ”
"But in fact, it has nothing to do with totems, but a hundred years ago, the Nalan tribe produced a stunning witch doctor, when the grassland epidemic was raging, and the two kings were infected and died one after another..."
He sighed, "In order to cure the only remaining successor, that witch doctor exhausted his efforts to develop a prescription, which can not only heal, but taking medicine without illness is equivalent to a kind of human pox-"
Zhao Chen's memory gradually recovered, and he muttered: "That successor survived, unified the grassland, and entered the Great Chu..."
It was her great-grandfather, and she remembered that she had drunk that bowl of medicine when she was a child...
That's why she hasn't been infected until now—
Hearing such taboo words, the imperial doctors looked at each other, and no one dared to take the stubble, and left one after another.
"Imperial Doctor Gu, you wait first." Zhao Chen stopped the person who proposed to exchange blood, suddenly took out a dagger and cut through his palm, took a bowl of blood and handed it to him, "Take it and test it well." ”
Doctor Gu was stunned and then rejoiced, his fanaticism was difficult to control, and he ran away without saying a word, holding the bowl.
Yu Zhongjing frowned and stepped forward to bandage her.
"Old Yu, if there is a little more feasible way, you will urge them to continue experimenting..."Zhao Chen paused, "In addition, give me the part of the witch doctor's books." ”
Yu Zhongjing was stunned, "Do you still want to find that prescription?" But the Nalan are all already—"
"You forgot, there is also King Yu, maybe he knows something." Zhao Chen casually found a reason.
Yu Zhongjing shook his head and said, "That prescription was only used by successive kings, and it is likely that the medicinal materials used are too precious, and they may not be able to be used on a large scale if they bother to find it." ”
Zhao Chen took the book he handed over and paused, "At least you can save Meng Yong—"
………
In the empty and dark room, Zhao Chen sat on the ground against the wall.
In fact, not only had she drunk that medicine, but she had also seen that prescription, but she was only six years old at the time...
Fingertips ran over the piles of books, on which there were still some remnants of burning marks, they all originally belonged to the Nalan clan, and were snatched in that battle to exterminate the clan.
Zhao Chen flipped through the pages, trying to remind himself of the contents of the prescription.
I remember that she had just been tattooed with a totem, and the unbearable hot sting made her cry all the time, and Daddy personally boiled medicine for her, and the prescription was placed next to her, and she obviously picked it up and read it many times...
Blue potted flowers, golden-waisted grass... She tried to remember, kept writing, but there were still too many things she couldn't remember.
Time passed slowly, the sun set in the west, and the night came, and was dispelled by the rising sun.
Zhao Chen stayed awake all night, gradually becoming anxious.
That prescription was the most reliable way now, she had to think of it, but she really couldn't remember—
Someone opened the door and came in.
Zhao Chen, who was dizzy, raised his eyes blankly, and his eyes that could see in the dark night were vaguely unable to distinguish people at this time.
Until the light that was broken out by the snow-bright silver armor stinged the eyes...
The armor was sonorous and the starry eyes were shining, which made Zhao Chen's eyes condense, and he asked in a dumb voice: "Why are you here?" ”
Seeing her shrinking in the mess, King Yu's sword frowned slightly, and quickly let go, walked over and slowly squatted in front of her.
"Didn't you promise to take care of yourself?" He couldn't hide the frost between his eyebrows, and his rough palms and fingers wrapped around her bandaged hand.
Zhao Chen smiled reluctantly, "Isn't this good, but you, you're not afraid of being punished for running like this?" ”
King Yu rubbed her head with pity, and said with a smile: "Little birthday star, your ability to deceive people has regressed. ”
The smiling words and the warm palms bring a sense of peace of mind, but also induce those pent-up emotions.
Zhao Chen lowered his eyes in a daze, "It's the eighteenth today?" Birthday... That's another year older—"
King Yu sat down beside her, flipped through the scattered classics, and asked lightly for a long time: "Is it for Meng Yong?" ”
"Yes, he's sick, smallpox..."Zhao Chen was a little frustrated, "But I can't think of all that prescription, all I can remember is these few medicines..."
King Yu said: "You said that he is very dangerous, it is best not to approach, and I have always had a bad feeling for him, there are so many good men in the world, you have to choose him?" ”
Zhao Chen didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, he still talked about the recent events and the year.
"Actually, I didn't think about any affection, after all, sooner or later he would find out that I had cheated on him, and then—" she stopped, "now I just want him to get better." ”
King Yu looked at her tiredness and rubbed her hair with some distress.
He understood that she was not only protecting herself, but also protecting him, after all, once it was known that Nalan still had a king, then he, the prince in charge of the army with Nalan's blood-
"Yes... And Penny! Zhao Chen suddenly remembered a medicine again, and hurriedly rummaged through the pen and paper.
King Yu came back to his senses and smiled: "Little birthday star, I drove two horses to run here, don't you look at the birthday gift?" ”
Zhao Chen stopped, rubbed his face indiscriminately, and waited to receive the gift with a bright smile.
"Eagle Tiger Pendant?" She looked at the things that King Yu took out and asked.
King Yu shook his head with a smile, looked at her twice, and then shook it hard, and the jade pendant in his palm was suddenly shattered.
Zhao Chen was so shocked that he hurriedly reached out and pulled him, "What are you doing!" ”
"The carved tiger pendant is indeed a talisman, because the prescription is hidden inside." King Yu took out a small paper roll from the crumbs, "Take it!" It's your birthday gift—"
