Chapter XVIII: The Khan's Princess
The cell steward replied with a blank face, and left.
Shen Yining breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Li Yu hadn't deceived himself, he would definitely send someone to save them, even if he didn't come to save himself, he would definitely come to save Xiaojing.
That night, the cell steward secretly gave Xiaojing and Shen Yuan an extra meat bun. The two of them were able to eat more and have more strength to survive.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, the four princesses finally sent someone to summon Wang Chan and Wang Xian over, and they seemed to see a little light again.
"Who is Shen Yining, come to the front."
A maid-like Beidi woman came to the cell and shouted.
The opportunity finally came, Shen Yining calmed down, and walked to the door of the cell dignified and calm: "If you go back to the nobles, the little girl is Shen Yining." ”
The maid stared at her for a long time, her eyes were full of hostility and some disbelief: "You, a woman, are Zhongyuan Langzhong?" ”
"If you go back to the nobles, the little girl's family runs a pharmacy and knows a little about medical skills and acupuncture."
Xu Yining lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"You'd better not play any tricks."
The maid glared at her fiercely before ordering the door to be opened.
Shen Yining obediently followed behind the maid, carefully remembering every position he had walked along the way.
At the back of the cell was a vast, grassy training ground, and beyond that was a large tent of opulence and opulence, followed by a circle, and a few small tents, before finally stopping.
"Princess, people have brought it."
Shen Yining heard a delicate, weak woman's voice coming from inside.
"Akina, let her in!"
Shen Yining lowered his head again, walked into the tent respectfully, walked to the bed and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the fourth princess, and the princess is healthy." ”
"Get up, keep your head up."
Shen Yining raised her head, and there was a delicate and charming Han woman sitting on the bed in the middle of the tent, who should be no more than twenty years old, with a delicate skin, a slender waist, graceful, charming, and a delicate voice. The women of Beidi are fierce, wild, and rude, so it is no wonder that Imu Khan would favor the four princesses so much.
On the diagonal front of the bed is a beautiful lacquered wood basin with two large crystal-clear ice cubes inside. It's July summer, and ice cubes are extremely precious in this desert, and they are really pampered.
"What's your name?"
"The slave's surname is Shen, and her name is Yining."
"I heard Xian Niang say that you are a Langzhong?"
"Back to the princess, the little girl was originally a girl in a pharmacy in Liangzhou, and she went out to treat and save people a few days ago, and then she came here."
"Come here, help me take a look at my body, it's getting worse and worse now."
Shen Yining bowed slightly, stepped forward, put a square scarf on his white wrist, and began to diagnose the pulse.
The pulse is late and soft, it is weak according to it, the shape is strong and thin, its deficiency can be known, the implicit finger is suddenly empty, this is the void pulse, the symptoms are mostly insufficient qi and blood, the spleen and kidney are out of harmony, and there are many night sweats and palpitations, and the cause is mostly heart disease, which is stagnant in the heart, and accumulates into a disease.
Shen Yining slowly spoke: "May I ask if the princess often suffers from headache and low back pain?" ”
"Well, sometimes I have a bad headache and I can't rest. I also have a tingling sensation in my back from time to time. ”
"The fourth princess is already weak, and she is often anxious about tedious affairs, so the essence is weak, and the residual blood accumulates in the head, heart and lungs, and it cannot be relieved for a long time."
"Do you have a way?"
"Slaves and maids can administer needles to the princess, and the symptoms of head wind and low back pain can be temporarily relieved."
"The tribal witch doctor has treated me several times, but to no avail. Is this really useful? ”
The fourth princess was a little suspicious of the little lady in front of her.
"Please rest assured that the princess can be pitied by the princess, it is a great blessing for the slave and maid. If there is no improvement, the slave is willing to be left to the princess's disposal. ”
Half an hour later.
The fourth princess was sweating profusely, feeling that her ears and eyes were open, her whole body was comfortable, and her head wind and low back pain were indeed relieved a lot.
Xu Yining squatted on the side of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Fourth princess, how do you feel?" ”
"Well, yes, you do have some skills."
The iron needs to be struck while it is hot, Xu Yining looked at the smile on the face of the fourth princess, and immediately continued: "Fourth princess, your head wind and back pain should have been some time. As the saying goes, old diseases are difficult to heal, chronic diseases are difficult to get rid of, acupuncture and moxibustion can only temporarily relieve the pain, if you want to completely cure it, you need to prescribe the right medicine, both internal and external, in order to get rid of the disease. ”
The eyes of the fourth princess flickered, and she stared at her for a while: "So, do you have a way to cure the disease?" ”
"If the princess can replenish the blood and gather qi with a suitable decoction for a long time, and dissipate the residual blood with acupuncture and moxibustion, she will definitely be cured. However, it will take a longer time. ”
The fourth princess thought for a moment, and then asked Aqina to send Shen Yining back to the cell.
When Aqina left, she glanced at her fiercely, and Shen Yining was confused.
In fact, Shen Yining felt a little guilty. She did not do her best to cure the four princesses' head wind and low back pain, and only when the four princesses summoned her again could they win a chance for Xiaojing and Shen Yuan to live.
Shen Yining rubbed the medicine bottle hidden in his sleeve, turned around and whispered to the two.
Inside the tent of the four princesses.
"Fourth princess, I think this lady is talking wildly, just like the previous witch doctors, she must be deceiving you, don't be fooled."
Akina said indignantly.
"Even our most experienced old witch doctor in Beidi is helpless, such a young lady is really uneasy! The Four Princesses ......"
"The ...... of the Four Princesses"
"Okay Akina, don't say anything more, let me think about it again."
The four princesses closed their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.
Sure enough, as Shen Yining expected, someone came to summon him to the fourth princess's bedroom on the second day.
"Do you really have a way to help me get rid of my illness?"
"If you go back to the princess, the slave maid does have a way, but this method takes a long time, and it needs to diagnose the pulse every day and apply needles, adjust the prescription and decoction every day, and the prescription is complicated, and it also needs a special person to boil it. More importantly, the princess needs to relieve her mood and calm down and slowly adjust her body. ”
"Okay, I'll give you a month."
"Please rest assured that the four princesses will do their best and do their best. The four princesses, the slaves and maids have one more thing to ask for. ”
The fourth princess stared at her with a pair of phoenix eyes, and motioned for her to continue.
"There are a large number of medicinal materials required for prescriptions, and it takes manpower to pound and grind powder. The process of decoction is complicated, and the decoction alone is divided into three, six, and nine. The two younger brothers of the slave are familiar with the names of medicinal herbs, and with their help, they will definitely be able to accompany them with half the effort. ”
Without hearing the answer in front of him, Shen Yining propped his hands on the ground, put his forehead on the ground, and said worriedly: "Fourth princess, please also save the slave and maid." The slave and maid are only a little Langjun who is less than twelve years old, and he had a high fever last night, thinking that he was sick from hard work. Even if the slave has a way to save his brother, there is nowhere to use it. I also asked the fourth princess to give me two pairs of decoction. In the coming day, the slave and maid will be determined to smear your liver and brain, and then die. ”
Hearing this, the four princesses' eyes were sad and a little moved, as if they remembered some past events.
Suddenly, there was some commotion outside the tent, and Aqina quickly pulled her up and walked to the tent door and stood with her head bowed. The next moment, a fat middle-aged man opened the tent door and walked in.
