Chapter 41 Distinguishing Medicines
The Queen Mother instructed her chamberlain to announce that Zheng Suxin had entered the palace, and at the same time glanced at the female official Yao beside her.
Lady Yao understood, immediately left the palace, and took people straight to Wangjia Village, outside the capital, where Sheng Qiye had registered.
When Zheng Suxin returned to Wu's house, she ordered someone to invite her husband, Wu Changge, to the inner courtyard.
"You go and talk to your father, and you can say that the sky may change......" Zheng Suxin whispered to Wu Changge, asking him to quickly pass the news on to Wu Changge's father, Old Man Wu, who is also the grandfather of the Wu family.
Wu Changge's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, looked at Zheng Suxin and said, "You can't talk nonsense. ”
"Am I the one who talks nonsense?" Although Zheng Suxin was a little dissatisfied, she did not raise her voice, but spoke kindly, without even frowning.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that this matter is too heavy. Wu Changge explained to her, asked two more questions, and hurriedly went out of the second door to discuss the matter with his father, Old Man Wu.
The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, although the four major families don't have to care too much about who is the emperor, but compared with the other three families, the Wu family is still more concerned about the changes in imperial power. Because the Wu family controlled more than half of the flow of money and silver in the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor could deal a big blow to their Wu family's business as long as he casually removed a few officials.
Zheng Suxin waited for Wu Changge to leave, walked to the house and lay down on the couch, and asked the maid to beat her legs, she closed her eyes and wanted to sleep for a while.
She hadn't slept long before she was woken up.
"Grandma, grandma, Ruan Tong's father-in-law in the palace is here, and the queen mother announced that grandma has entered the palace. said that someone from the Sheng family had entered the palace to offer a prescription. Zheng Suxin's maid gently woke her up and whispered.
Zheng Suxin suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight, "What did you say?" What is the Sheng family? Which Sheng family? ”
"Father-in-law Ruan said, it's the Sheng family in Shennong Mansion, and the Queen Mother asked you to identify the medicine." The maid said as she quickly re-tied Zheng Suxin's hair that had slept a little messy.
Zheng Suxin touched her hair, hurriedly stood up, and followed Ruan Tong into the palace quickly.
Along the way, she said to Ruan Tong very happily: "Father-in-law Ruan, God really has eyes, and finally let me wait for Master's descendants." As he spoke, he asked Ruan Tong again, "Who is that person?" Was it the Sheng family who was not at home at the time? I remember that it seems that he was arrested according to the genealogy at that time, can this person have proof to prove that he is from the Sheng family? ”
Ruan Tong said with a sharp voice: "The Sprinkle family doesn't know either. It was all ordered by the Queen Mother, and the Sprinkle family just passed on a word. ”
Zheng Suxin knew that Ruan Tong's mouth was tight, and she was just a little anxious. After all, it has been fifteen years since the Sheng family was full of beheadings. In the past fifteen years, no one has dared to jump out and say that he is a descendant of the Sheng family.
Because it is a word "death" waiting for him......
When she came to the palace, Zheng Suxin followed the palace maid to the Anhe Hall of the Queen Mother's director.
"Queen Mother, Zheng Yiren has arrived." The palace maids at the door spread to the main hall one by one.
After the Queen Mother called in, Zheng Suxin walked in.
As soon as she entered the depths of the Anhe Palace, Zheng Suxin saw a tall and thin man in green clothes standing opposite the Queen Mother's throne. Although he had his back to the direction she had entered, the back looked so familiar. -- That's the back of her mentor old man Sheng back then.
Zheng Suxin looked so attentive that she didn't notice that General Zhou's eyes fell on her shoulders from time to time.
Zhou Huaixuan stood beside General Zhou with his hands behind his back, and snorted lightly when he saw this, his slender phoenix eyes were cold, as if he wanted to cut off General Zhou's sight that fell on Zheng Suxin.
Many palace maids who secretly looked at Zhou Huaixuan couldn't help but shrink their necks, looked away, and looked around.
Zheng Suxin caught a glimpse of Zhou Huaixuan's appearance like a celestial person, secretly surprised, hurriedly retracted her gaze, and slowly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, pointed to the man in green clothes and said, "Su Xin, come here." This Sheng Qiye is said to be your master's youngest son, have you heard your master mention it? ”
Zheng Suxin said suddenly: "I disappointed the Queen Mother." The master never said that he had a seventh son before his death, and the courtiers only knew that the master had six sons, four sons and two concubines, and I don't know if this Sheng Seventh Master was a concubine or a concubine? ”
Sheng Qiye knew that Zheng Suxin was a close disciple of his father, Old Man Sheng, and did not treat her as an outsider, and said, "I am the youngest son." Because when I was born, my mother was very old, and it was quite difficult to give birth to me. My health has not been good since I was a child, and my father used many methods to cure me, and finally gave me up to the temple to become a monk, and my illness gradually improved. Later, something happened to the Sheng family, and I was vulgar. ”
Sheng Qiye said it generously, as if he didn't care at all whether he would be beheaded by Lian Sitting.
Zheng Suxin smiled and said, "Sheng Qiye is really guts. For so many years, no one dared to claim that they were the descendants of the Sheng family. ”
Sheng Qiye was a little unhappy when he heard this, the smile on his face faded, he didn't want to talk to Zheng Suxin anymore, turned to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, I came to the palace to save people, and I have long put life and death aside." Please also ask the Queen Mother to give me this opportunity. ”
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said to him, "Okay." It's still what the mourning family just said, if you can make the emperor's condition better, not only will the mourning family not cut off your head, but the title of the Sheng family is yours! ”
Sheng Qiye arched his hand, "Thank you Queen Mother for your success." ”
The Queen Mother raised her chin to Zheng Suxin and said, "Zheng Yiren, listen to his recipe." ”
"Seventh Master Sheng, please speak." Zheng Suxin gestured to Sheng Qiye.
Sheng Qiye said: "Seven coins of ginseng, four coins of Tiandong, three coins of baiji, five coins of rehmannia, two coins of blood exhaustion, three coins of wine-washed eucommia, three coins of ligustrum, eight coins of cordyceps, three coins of chicken blood vine, two coins of grain essence grass, and Wang Buliuxing, purple-backed geranium and mountain wind venom are the ......."
"Nonsense!" Zheng Suxin suddenly interrupted Sheng Qiye's narration, her face was crimson, and her towering chest fell together, which was very moving.
General Zhou was too busy and didn't dare to look in the direction of Zheng Suxin.
The Queen Mother also frowned and asked, "The venom of the mountain wind?" ”
Zheng Suxin said in a fierce voice: "Seventh Master Sheng, your prescription, the front is okay, although it is useless, but it is also not faulty." But you mixed Wang Buliuxing, purple-backed geranium and mountain wind venom together as an introduction, did you think that Your Majesty's life was too long? ”
Wang Buliuxing and purple-backed geranium can dredge blood circulation, and they are generally given to people with excessive blood and qi.
And the mountain wind, the people of Daxia know that he is the king of snakes, and the venom is extremely poisonous, and there has never been an antidote to cure it.
Sheng Qiye said with his hands behind his back: "Your Majesty's illness has been dragging on for fifteen years, and you can only use fierce medicine to increase vitality first, and then slowly recuperate." As for the venom of the mountain wind, Zheng Yiren, you also studied medicine with my father, how did you not know that the venom of the mountain wind is the most symptomatic medicine for paralysis? ”
"Of course I know it's mentioned in the medical books." Zheng Suxin frowned, "But it's better to have no book than to have a book." How do you know how much venom can cure diseases without harming people? Do you have so many mountain winds to fetch you venom and let you try the most appropriate dosage? ”
The so-called talking about toxicity without dosage is all pretending to be a miracle doctor. But how to try the right dose is really too difficult for the poison that rarely appears, such as the venom of the mountain wind.
Sheng Qiye was suffocated and said, "Just put a little bit, it won't be fatal." "The mountain wind venom he collected was only a little bit, so it's no wonder that it can be poisoned. And isn't Siyan fine?
Sheng Qiye is still very confident.
But the Queen Mother and Zheng Suxin were not at ease, and finally decided to let Sheng Qiye fry a bowl of medicine according to his prescription first, and use the rabbits raised in the palace to test the medicine.
Sheng Qiye hesitated a little and said, "The venom of the mountain wind is very scarce...... "It's too wasteful for rabbits to eat."
"No matter how rare it is, it is better than a fatal dose." Zheng Suxin kindly reminded Sheng Qiye.
Sheng Qiye had no choice but to respond, and personally decocted the medicine in front of the medicine stove in the corner of the main hall.
In front of everyone's eyes, it is impossible for anyone who wants to do it.
When the medicine was about to be fried, the palace maid at the gate of the main hall preached again: "The Queen Mother, the wife and daughter of Sheng Qiye are here." ”
"Let them in." The Queen Mother greeted with a smile, "Let the mourning family take a look." ”
Sheng Qiye and Zheng Suxin's hearts were tight.
Neither of them expected the Queen Mother to be so resolute and bring Sheng Qiye's family to the palace so quickly. -- This is the rhythm of catching everything just in case......
