Chapter 100: Decision
Cold Palace? Isn't that a place to imprison some harem concubines who have fallen out of favor? Don't......
"I see, then ...... you," I asked tentatively in as calm a voice as I could.
She sighed again and said, "I'm Lan Meiren. ”
The term beauty does not refer to beauty, but a kind of level in the harem, I seem to have heard Daddy Yan talk about it, so I didn't make a fuss, I don't know what mistake this beauty made, so she was relegated here. But I don't dare to ask, lest she start crying again, which would be terrible.
I came back to my senses and said, "That, Lan Meiren......"
"You might as well call me Lemei, I'm not a beauty anymore......" she whispered.
To prevent her from getting hurt again, I hurried over to sit down across the table from her, and then cautiously said, "That...... Lemei, let me ask you about your situation and see what treatment plan we should use. ”
She nodded.
So I started from eating, drinking, sleeping, and other aspects, and asked her in detail, and the symptoms in all aspects confirmed my judgment of "water syndrome" when I visited the doctor just now.
When dealing with water syndrome, there are many choices in the prescription, Wuling San, Zhu Ling Soup, Fangji Astragalus Soup, Zhenwu Soup, Yuewen Soup...... Even the addition and subtraction on the basis of the Daqinglong soup I used before are okay, but after thinking about it, I feel that they are a little unsatisfactory, and it always seems that it can't fit her situation perfectly.
I don't know if I was a little anxious when she saw that I had been silent for a long time, but she suddenly began to cough again, although she kept covering her mouth to try to relieve it. I still couldn't hold it back, and I coughed for more than a minute before I stopped, coughing and my face turned red. There were tears in my eyes.
I looked around and saw a kettle on the table next to me, and I went over to pour her a glass of water, but when I took it, it was empty.
The phoenix that is matched is not as good as a chicken, and the survival of the concubine who has fallen out of favor is really not as good as an ordinary palace maid. I really feel this now.
Ay? I saw her constantly stroking her chest and gasping, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly asked, "How long have you been coughing?" ”
She thought for a moment and said, "Yes...... It's been more than ten days. Originally, it was only a little bit, but it has worsened in the past two days, and as soon as I lie down at night, I won't keep coughing and breathless. I can only sleep peacefully by sitting......"
Pregnant! Her words suddenly made my tangled thoughts go through in one go!
Gasp. But I can't sit down. This is because the water vapor in the lungs, which should be in a gaseous state, condenses and deposits, turning into a mixture of water and phlegm, to the point where breathing is so severe that it is impossible to lie down.
This is a typical ten-date soup disease!
Ten jujube soup, recorded in "Jin Kui Yaolu", sounds like daily food, but in fact it is a very strong prescription. The formula only needs three flavors: Gansui, turnip, and euphorbia. Among them, gansui and euphorbia are both weeds. The common feature of both is that if the stems are broken, the white sap can be seen flowing out, and when used as medicine, the roots are taken from them. White. It belongs to gold, and the lungs are also gold, and these two herbs happen to have the best effect on removing phlegm from the lungs.
Coriander is a little different, it is a small dwarf shrub with purple clusters of flowers, and it is its buds that can be used for medicine.
These three herbs are all listed in the "Lower Sutra" of Shennong's Materia Medica, which means that they are not ordinary medicines, they are poisonous! The more poisonous the medicine, the more biased the nature, when the human body is very sick, it is often necessary to use such a biased medicine, in order to counterattack in one fell swoop, and forcibly return the body's functions to normal.
I then asked her some questions, all of which were some of the conditions before she got sick, and finally found that this girl's physical foundation is still good, she is young, and her gastrointestinal function is good. Now that he had made up his mind, he stood up and strode out, and called the little eunuch to the gate of the courtyard.
The little eunuch quickly came running, and it seemed that he really didn't go far, and he kept waiting. But he looked a little surprised to see me standing there waiting for him with a peaceful face, probably surprised why I was so stupid and bold, and I didn't react at all when I saw a female evil spirit.
I verbally explained what I needed and asked him to prepare quickly, but he was quite clever, so he wrote it down at the time and left in a hurry.
After the matter was arranged, I felt a lot more settled, turned around and walked back to the hall, and saw that Le Mei was still sitting in the candlelight in a daze, her eyes were foggy, and I couldn't help asking, "...... Do you want to go to bed early, I'll go out in the yard and wait, and I'll ...... early tomorrow morning."
Before she could finish speaking, she shook her head and said, "No need, I can't sleep because I cough too much." Can you sit down and talk to me? ”
I saw the melancholy in my eyes, and I couldn't bear to refuse, so I walked over and sat down.
"You...... How long has it been in the palace? "It's really hard to sit down, so I had to find a random topic.
"Three years," she said, "as of this fall, three full years." ”
These words seemed to bring back memories for her, and she began to slowly recount her experience. It turned out that she was still a senior official in the court...... I can't remember the official position...... The eldest lady of the family, after being elected to the palace, soon got the favor of the emperor and was named a beauty. However, time passed, and his father later offended the most powerful Liang family in the court, lost his official position and was demoted, and even she was suppressed in the harem for favor, plus she had no heirs, so he soon found an excuse to beat her into the cold palace.
The things in the harem are generally this routine, and I listen to it, but what makes me a little unbearable is that she wipes her tears from time to time while talking, so that I can't interrupt it, and neither is she, as if sitting on pins and needles for more than an hour.
"Uh...... What kind of person is this emperor? After listening to her speech, I quickly started a new conversation.
He ...... He's a little affectionate, ...... "He completely ignored my guidance, and returned to her topic, crying again.
"This ...... If you can be the emperor, there will definitely be something extraordinary, right? "I try to guide her to think positively.
She thought about it, and her face was smiling from time to time, as if she was remembering, and after a long time, she said, "He...... Very smart. ”
Although she summed it up in a very general way, I nodded in agreement. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the various arrangements of this competition, it is definitely not something that a simple-minded guy can design. And that box of books, if all the emperor has read them, then this guy's knowledge is no longer comparable to ordinary people.
Judging from what I have seen and heard before, this era is actually a matter of courtesy and light skill. The court encouraged people to read more sages, write good articles, and keep their thoughts consistent with those in power, so that they could have the opportunity to become officials and rule one side. The natural sciences that can really promote social progress, and even medicine that is closely related to the lives of ordinary people, are treated as small skills of carving insects, and those who are engaged in these industries are also looked down upon, let alone become officials with these contributions.
But after entering the palace, I found that things were not as simple as I thought. At least this Liu Zhi seems to be an understanding person, called Respect Taoism, and in fact still maintains a high level of attention to science. But what ordinary people think is the Ninety-Five, the person who can really command the world, does something far from what he thinks, and there are probably some reasons that only politicians can understand.
was chatting with Le Mei for a while, when he suddenly heard the eager call of the little eunuch outside: "Childe! Son! ……”
I quickly got up and ran out, only to see the little eunuch holding a few medicine bags in his hands, and I was about to reach out to take it for inspection, but I saw him with a bitter face and said: "The gansui, euphorbia, and red dates you said have all been found, but this coriander ...... Yes there really isn't! (To be continued.) )
