Chapter 11: The Queen Mother

Early the next morning, the emperor sent Gonggong Chen to take Jiang Wan into the palace for the queen mother's treatment.

Bypassing the palaces of all sizes, Jiang Wan followed Gonggong Chen to the front of the Dehua Palace.

"The old slave sent the divine doctor here."

Gonggong Chen leaned over and saluted, and beckoned the palace maid in the distance to come over.

"Qiao'er, you take the divine doctor to treat the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

I have long heard that the famous miracle doctor came to Shao to treat the queen mother, and today I saw that it really deserved its reputation.

The girl's thoughts were all written on her face.

Jiang Wan bowed, "I'm tired." ”

Pianpian son, gentle and polite.

As soon as I stepped into the palace, I heard a noisy sound in the distance.

"Over here, it's a little bit over."

"Yes, a little to the right."

"No, I'm telling you to go to the right, not to the left."

"A little further left......"

The shouts one after another were not noisy, but the voice was deliberately suppressed by the owner.

Jiang Wan looked for prestige.

I saw an extraordinarily dressed young man squatting under a big tree, and red spoons bloomed on the hem of his black clothes.

The young man is handsome, freshly dressed and angry, with picturesque eyebrows and a piece of grass in his mouth.

Under the scorching sun, the young man's fair face was slightly reddened by the sun, and a layer of fine sweat gathered densely between his eyebrows.

Directly across from the boy was a group of guards, sweating profusely and hugging the arm-thick tree back and forth.

"No, it's not in the right place, a little further to the right."

The young man's legs were numb, and he simply stood up with his waist crossed.

looked at the guard in front of him holding the tree and moving around, but he didn't move the right position. I couldn't help but sigh with my forehead.

"Get up, I'll come by myself."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

Jiang Wan looked away, and the complexion on her face remained unchanged.

"What is this?"

Qiao'er on the side immediately explained.

"If you return to the divine doctor, that one is His Royal Highness King Chen."

He is the sixth son of the first emperor, the prince of Bei Youchen?

In the distance, the young man's energetic face was still covered with mud, and his thin body dragged a tree thicker than his waist, and a group of guards behind him carefully helped.

Jiang Wan didn't say anything.

Qiao'er continued.

"His Royal Highness King Chen is good to the Queen Mother, a few days ago I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to see Shuzhou's Sui Hanmei, so she immediately rushed to carefully select one for the Queen Mother, and now she is preparing to plant it in the palace."

No wonder I didn't see Bei Youchen at the palace banquet, it turned out that he went to Shuzhou.

Shuzhou is northern, close to the border of the Qinglang Kingdom. Even if it is a quick whip to come and go, it will take months to say the least. Not to mention the fatigue of the journey, it is also full of dangers.

His Royal Highness King Chen is very attentive to the Queen Mother.

Bei Youchen, the son of the first emperor. The mother died early, and she was raised under the knees of the queen since she was a child.

Later, the fourth son of the first emperor, Bei Shuyi, launched a palace change to seize power and ascend the throne as emperor. And the queen was the queen mother, and Bei Youchen survived because of this.

Recalling the secrets of the royal family that the prisoner had discovered, Jiang Wan only felt ridiculous.

It is said that the origin of Bei Youchen's mother is unknown, and she seems to be a foreign woman.

After a one-night stand, he was taken back to the palace by the first emperor, and soon after giving birth to Bei Youchen, he became seriously ill and died.

What makes people feel even more ridiculous is that the first emperor at that time was already over the age of six, and the foreign woman was just in her prime.

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Chen has grown up with His Royal Highness King Jin since he was a child, and the uncle and nephew are only two years apart.

How ridiculous!

Just thinking about it, Bei Youchen finally found the right position to plant Sui Hanmei.

wiped his sweat profusely, and ran towards Jiang Wan's side.

"Qiao'er, who is this?"

Qiao'er leaned over and saluted respectfully.

"Your Highness doesn't know, this is the divine doctor, the Marquis of Yibei who His Majesty canonized yesterday."

Hearing this, Bei Youchen looked around Jiang Wan with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

Stretched out his hand and put it on Jiang Wan's shoulder, "It turned out to be a miracle doctor, and he has admired his name for a long time." ”

Bei Youchen hooked the corners of his lips and raised them, very pleasant.

Jiang Wan quietly pulled away from her.

She didn't like the idea of being too intimate.

Bei Youchen didn't care when he saw this, he still smiled happily with the corners of his lips hooked.

Bei Youchen's facial features are very deep, with a bit of exotic flavor.

He laughed brightly, and his eyes sparkled.

"Your Highness, forgive me, I'm not used to contact with others."

Bei Youchen waved his hand and didn't care.

"It's okay, it's the king who is abrupt."

"The divine doctor should go and treat the Queen Mother first."

When it comes to the Queen Mother, Bei Youchen's handsome face has a little more positive color. The beautiful eyes are full of joy and anticipation that can't be hidden.

As Bei Youchen stepped into the Huayu Hall together, there was a strong smell of medicine, bitter and a little ink fragrance.

The hall is empty and luxurious, with a dazzling array of famous paintings hanging on the walls at will, and various blue and white porcelain on white ground are placed on the tables, chairs and counters.

Jiang Wan bypassed the sandalwood carving Fu Lushou hanging screen and came to the curtain tent.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Not humble or arrogant, cold and indifferent.

"You are the miracle doctor of the six countries."

Behind the curtain came the majestic voice of the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother is overrated, in Xia Gongzimu."

Jiang Wan looked around secretly.

In the closed hall, all the windows around it are closed. There was also an incense burner on the desk, and a stack of copied Buddhist scriptures was placed on the table.

Smelling the smell of incense should have the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep.

"Queen Mother, what good things do you think Chen'er brought this time?"

Bei Youchen took out a string of Buddhist beads from his cuffs as if offering a treasure.

The curtain in front of him was lifted.

A black wide-sleeved robe with a high placket, embroidered with a golden peony pattern, and a dark yellow Luo smoke shirt.

Dignified and elegant, not angry and arrogant.

The years never defeat the beauty, that's probably it.

"Chen'er has a heart."

The Queen Mother's majestic face had a comfortable smile on her face, and she put the Buddha beads on very preciously.

Jiang Wan quietly looked at the Queen Mother from the side.

Rao is no matter how delicate the makeup is, it can't cover the pale and weak tiredness.

"I want to treat the Queen Mother, can His Royal Highness King Chen avoid it."

Calm eyes looked at him faintly.

Hearing this, the maid beside Bei Youchen was a little dissatisfied.

"What do you mean, Tatsu ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bei Youchen waving his hand.

He stood there solemnly, solemn and solemn.

"Then it's hard work, Divine Doctor."

Jiang Wan bowed her head, and her heart was somewhat touched.

She has traveled to various countries for so many years, and all kinds of incurable diseases. There is a lot of intrigue.

Only this rare hot family affection in the deep palace is the first time I have seen it.

Bei Youchen loves to laugh very much, and when he laughs, the corners of his mouth rise, revealing a row of white and neat teeth. The bottom of the eyes is clean and pure, as if it contains thousands of stars, shining brightly.

Jiang Wan looked away.

It's rare to see someone with such a clean and pure smile.

After everyone retreated, Jiang Wan sat at the table and quietly took the pulse of the Queen Mother.

Listening to this weak but normal pulse, Jiang Wan's eyes darkened.

Although the pulse is weak, it can be regarded as calm and powerful, and there is no abnormality.

But seeing that the queen is pale, dark and green, her body temperature is cold, and the whole person is a little lifeless and depressed, and there is no spirit around her.

Very strange symptoms.

"How?"

The Queen Mother watched Jiang Wan keep her eyes down and ponder after taking the pulse, and couldn't help asking.

"The pulse is normal." Jiang Wan said truthfully.

Listening to the answer that was no different from the previous imperial doctor, the queen mother was a little disappointed.

Jiang Wan pondered for a moment and then asked, "The Queen Mother has been weak recently, her chest is tight and dizzy, sometimes she has a headache and a little drowsiness, but she often wakes up from nightmares. ”

The symptoms are all right!

The Queen Mother straightened up excitedly, the Buddhist beads in her hand were clutched tightly, and even her voice trembled a little.

"Not bad."

Jiang Wan frowned, lowered her eyes and pondered.

If you look at the pulse alone, the Queen Mother's pulse is normal, a bit like a wind chill.

But if you look at the symptoms, it is obvious that you are terminally ill.

The pulse and symptoms don't match?!

Very strange sickness.

Looking at the emaciated face of the Queen Mother, she was worried and full of anticipation.

"It's not a cold." Firmly.

I don't know why, after listening to this answer, which is very different from the previous diagnosis of the imperial doctor, the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, like a drowning person found the last straw.

"No... It's not wind chill, what is that? "Be careful.

Jiang Wan didn't speak, but just asked the resignation behind her to bring her medicine box.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a row of silver needles.

"Offended."

Jiang Wan said softly, and the silver needle on her hand quickly pierced into the acupuncture point.

For a moment, the Queen Mother coughed violently.

"Poof-" A mouthful of black blood stained the handkerchief red.

Looking at the blackened bloodstains, the green tendons of the queen mother's clenched right hand burst out, and her pale face suddenly burst into anger.

"How can it be!"

She was so angry that she waved down all the teacups on the table, and the crisp sound was accompanied by that roar, and the maids inside and outside the Huayu Hall were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

Bei Youchen also immediately broke in when he heard the movement.

"The Queen Motherβ€”"

Seeing that the ground was in shambles, he nervously looked at the Queen Mother carefully from top to bottom, and only turned his head to look at Jiang Wan after making sure that there was nothing to do.

"What's going on?"

The voice was slightly deep, with some questioning meaning.

Jiang Wan was dressed in white, standing quietly in the mess, her indifferent eyes were so calm that she was a little unkind.

The Queen Mother seemed to be relieved from the great rage, and pulled Bei Youchen's clenched hand hidden under the cuffs.

"It's okay, it's none of the doctor's business."

There was obvious exhaustion in the tone.

The Queen Mother pulled Bei Youchen to sit down beside her, watching the eldest child she pulled with one hand, and now she has become a young man.

The worry and anxiety on the young man's face warmed her heart.

"Divine doctor, it's hard work."

A little more respect and solemnity.

"Mother..."Bei Youchen wanted to ask anything more, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother patted his hand soothingly.

"Alright, it's okay." She rubbed her tired head.

Jiang Wan wrote down a prescription and handed it to the maid beside the Queen Mother, "Niangniang's body is seriously damaged, this medicine is used to condition Niangniang's body, take it twice a day, there should be an improvement after a month, during this time, the minister will come to give injections to Niangniang every day." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "I'm in trouble, Divine Doctor." ”

"The mourning family is tired, you all retreat."

The world envies the supreme imperial position, who knows that behind the glory is a desolation that no one knows.
