Chapter 81: Willow Bark

Zhu Su was naturally not awake. The doctors tried their best, but Zhu Su still had a high fever. Lao Zhu and Queen Ma took care of their son by the couch for a whole day, until the evening, Lao Zhu Fang was persuaded by Queen Ma to rest in the outer side hall.

The next day, it was rainy. In the Qianqing Palace, because of the layers of curtains, looking from the outside to the inside, I only felt that the layers of mountains were stacked, and I couldn't see through the figures inside. At the door, Mu Ying still wore a helmet and armor, and guarded the palace gate with Erhu with a strong spirit, and he didn't rest for two days, and he didn't listen to him when he went back. Outside, Zhu Fan and Zhu Li also arrived. Mu Ying saw that Lao Zhu was awake, and was busy bowing down, but was helped up by Lao Zhu: "How is it?" How is the fifth child now? ”

"Although it has not worsened, the high fever has not subsided, and he is talking nonsense." Mu Ying's face was sad, he couldn't imagine that this was inexplicable, his little brother just went out for a trip, and when he came back, he became like this.

"The fifth child is already weak. Being so agitated by the water, I think it will be a recurrence of the old disease......" Zhu Li shook his head. Zhu Fan said even more hatefully: "It's all to blame on that Zhu Tiezhu!" If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be doing this today! ”

"If you didn't encourage the fifth child to go out, would the fifth child become like this?" Seeing Zhu Fan put all the blame on Zhu Shouqian, Lao Zhu couldn't help but be angry. Although he also blamed Zhu Shouqian in his heart for his lonely temperament, he was taken advantage of by the wicked and indirectly harmed Zhu Su into the water. But Zhu Shouqian is also the blood of the Zhu family, and Zhu Wenzheng is such a son, how can he bear to watch him and his son hate each other.

"Shou Qian has been in good health recently, and he seems to be in good health. The child was stubborn, but he didn't want to go to the palace to let the imperial doctor take a look, so he just looked for medicine among the people. Mu Ying told Lao Zhu Dao. Zhu Li also remembered: "By the way, at that time, the liar pretended to be the one who wanted to cure the disease for the iron pillar!" ”

"You can also set up tents and open altars outside the city, and it is expected to be fine." Old Zhu Dao. Let's put this son on first. Gong Weisi had already informed the Jingjiang Royal Mansion of the assassin's matter, even if this child was alone, he should know that he was afraid.

After speaking, he lifted the curtain and went inside to visit Zhu Su. Behind him, Zhu Di snorted, and wanted to ask Zhu Di when he would be able to come out of the ancestral hall, but seeing that his father's face was irritable, he didn't dare to ask in detail.

Ay...... Later, let the little guy send some food to the fourth child. It is estimated that for a while, my father will not let him go.

I don't know why the fourth child angered his father. Ask him, and he won't say.

In addition, the fifth child said that he had found a strange book from the main hall...... I searched all over the main hall yesterday, and I didn't see any ancient books of Taixi. I always feel that the old five words are not true.

In addition, after the fifth child fell into the water, the fourth child was inexplicably imprisoned in the ancestral hall...... These two brothers, who seem to be hiding from him and the second brother as brothers, have some big secrets.

Zhu Li had a sense of loss of being excluded.

……

In the inner room, the imperial doctors were surrounding Zhu Su to apply needles, and the silver needles on Zhu Su's body were densely inserted, and when he occasionally twitched, it was a piece of silver. Queen Ma's eyes were already red, but she still held Zhu Su's hand, and she couldn't bear to let go. Lao Zhu felt pain in his heart, took Queen Ma's hand, and said emotionally: "Sister, go and rest for a while!" On weekdays, I am most worried about you. If something happens to you, teach our father and son how to endure? ”

"Chongba, how can I sleep......" Queen Ma only shook her head. Even though Xiao Wu'er was confused, he could still call me and call Biao'er's name yesterday. I can't even speak today, how can I sleep? ”

Lao Zhu's heart was even heavier. He became more and more sure that Lao Wu kept calling because of these two people, and he cared about them the most. When he said "don't die", he didn't just say because of a nightmare in a dream, but because these two people would die before him in the history he knew!

The matter has not yet been resolved, and he can't bear to tell his wife. But the fifth child is not awake, how can he know why his wife and eldest son died, so as to prevent it from happening?

"Imperial Doctor Li, when will Su'er wake up?" Lao Zhu was really upset, and seeing that the imperial doctors stopped whispering in a panic, he opened his mouth to ask Li Yuanzheng on the side.

“…… Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, although His Royal Highness is no longer in danger as the night before, but the high fever has never subsided. ”

"I've tried all kinds of methods, but I can't ...... them."

"If it goes on like this, even if the Fifth Highness can wake up, he is afraid of his brain, and he can't withstand the high temperature for a long time......"

After speaking, he fell to his knees.

When he said this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but be angry. It's just that no matter how Lao Zhu threatened the Nine Clans, and even kicked him, Li Yuanzheng and the imperial doctors still knelt on the ground and let them beat and scold.

It was, really tried my best.

"Heavy eight, don't blame Li Yuanzheng." At this time, it was Queen Ma, who had been crying, who pulled the angry Lao Zhu. She wiped away her tears, and her face had returned to the calmness she had as the mother of the East Palace. It's just that there is still a sadness on his face that can't be concealed: "Su'er shouldn't have survived five years ago." It must have been because he was reluctant to give up his parents, so he borrowed from heaven for another five years. ”

"The matter has come to this point, it is important to be eighth, and you must not kill Su'er again, so that her karma will not be peaceful. Li Yuanzheng and the others are so old, but they have been guarding Su'er's bed every day for the past two days, and they have not left for a moment. Instead of being punished, it should be rewarded. ”

"...... Ministers are incompetent. The imperial doctors were so moved that they couldn't help crying loudly and kowtowed to Queen Ma. The ministers were incompetent and failed to help Niangniang save His Royal Highness ......"

Li Yuanzheng cried even louder: "Little friend, you are a prince, but you don't think that I am an old man, and I am a despised old man, and the old man has learned medical skills, but he ...... Can't save you! ”

This group of people was crying as if Zhu Su was dead. The startled outsiders Mu Ying, Zhu Fan and others also broke in.

They didn't know why, but when they saw these imperial doctors crying together, they cried together with their heads around.

……

"Inside...... Old Li Tou ......"

"I think...... I can save ...... again."

An extremely faint voice was almost inaudible, and even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was close to the couch, did not hear it. Queen Ma, who had a heart tied to Zhu Su, heard it, and hurriedly squatted down and lay down in Zhu Su's ear: "Su'er, Su'er, have you spoken?" ”

The audience was silent for a moment, and several imperial doctors were silent, and their souls were almost stunned by Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu also hurriedly lay down, and the husband and wife approached Zhu Su's face. "Old Five, what did you say? Can you hear your dad? ”

"Daddy...... Calling the old Li head...... Come here......" Zhu Su only felt as if he had a long, long dream, his eyelids were extremely heavy, he barely raised his eyes, and then closed them again. Thinking back to the experience of falling into the water, I can't help but want to find a stone and hit it directly.

The assassin struck a fatal blow and pushed Zhu Biao into the water, his hands and feet were already sore, and as soon as he stood firm, he was so frightened in his heart, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell into the water.

Originally, it was no big deal to fall into the water, and he was a swimmer in his previous life, and this shallow river dry water is not easy to catch. But at this time, I forgot that my current body is more than ten years old, and I have been sparse for a long time, and my exercise is not as good as in my previous life.

wanted to pull Zhu Biao easily, but he didn't swim two steps but directly lost his strength, and finally almost drowned in the water. Such a shameful thing will not be said in this life, it is simply a shame for the traverser.

As for the plot of Zhu Biao's old Queen Zhuma who thinks she dives into the water to save her brother...... Inexistent. It's just that my legs are weak by scare......

Seeing that Zhu Su moved his eyelids, this can make Lao Zhu ecstatic, even if it is not good, at least he can ask about the sister and the standard! was just about to speak, but was directly pushed aside by his wife. Queen Ma directly pulled Li Yuanzheng and said, "Yuanzheng is coming!" Su'er is calling you! ”

Li Yuan was busy squatting down to listen to his ears, only to hear Zhu Su ask him: "I...... What is the cause? ”

"Fifth Highness, you are suffering from the cold due to falling into the water, and the high fever will not go away......" Li Yuanzheng hurriedly said concisely.

“…… Is it enough to reduce fever? ”

"Willow bark...... Juice ......"

After saying that, he fainted again.

Zhu Su said with difficulty. In order to prevent the death of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao, he secretly made medicines to deal with various diseases in the palace. Li Yuanzheng once saw him secretly treating the princess, and got a home remedy for alcohol to reduce fever. When it comes to antipyretics, the most famous one in later generations is aspirin. Salicylic acid, the main ingredient in aspirin, comes from willow bark.

In the warehouse of his western courtyard, there is a corner where all kinds of medicinal materials that he has extracted with great difficulty are hidden. Among them is a fever reducer extracted from willow bark.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he fainted again due to a high fever. Li Yuanzheng looked puzzled: "Willow bark? Juice? For thousands of years, there has been no record of willow bark in medicine, could it be that willow bark can treat fever? ”

Zhu Li and Zhu Fan were also puzzled, Zhu Li only thought that the fifth brother was confused, so he was talking nonsense, and he was feeling sad in his heart, but he didn't want Lao Zhu to be shocked, as if his soul had suddenly returned to his place, and he ordered loudly without the slightest suspicion: "Go quickly!" Find willow bark to squeeze it into juice, hurry! ”

Having just seen the knowledge of Lao Wu who is enough to open a sect, where would Lao Zhu doubt now whether willow bark can be used in medicine.

Mu Ying was also excited. He knew very well that his fifth brother was actually a pedantic, and he could even fiddle with the firecracker, so what was the medicine that ordinary people didn't understand?

"I'll go myself!" Mu Ying jumped up directly, and went to cut down the willow tree in armor with a fierce attitude. It's as if there's some deep hatred with the willow tree.
