Chapter 240: Suspicion in the Palace
Chen Chao walked out of the Fengyi Hall refreshed.
Now.
The sun has set, the last rays of light have disappeared, the palace in the distance has been lit with candles, and the palace ladies are lined up, walking in the corridor with lanterns in their hands.
Bathed in the evening breeze, the skirt is flying.
Chen Chao was stunned for a while.
What a beautiful view!
It wasn't until a palace maid reminded him that Chen Chao came back to his senses.
"Imperial Doctor Zhao, please go this way." The palace maid who sent Chen Chao out of the palace looked good, bent down and stretched out an arm, please.
"Hmm."
Chen Chao nodded slightly and followed behind the palace maid.
Originally, the plan of the Chen Dynasty was to stay in the Fengyi Hall tonight and the Queen Mother to turn the dragon and phoenix upside down, and then take time to leave the palace tomorrow morning, who knew that the time to come today was relatively early, and the business would be done in the evening.
With the body of the Queen Mother, she will definitely not be able to withstand the Chen Dynasty at night.
At this time, I have to sigh that the physical strength of martial arts practitioners is really good.
For example, Ning Baizhi, that girl will not only make you unconvinced, but her physical strength is not generally good, the two always toss all night, and they will not stop until early in the morning.
Walking in the palace with the palace maid, Chen Chao kept his head down as much as possible.
I thought I'd better go find Ning Baizhi after I went back tonight.
Take a good tudiment.
Phew, educate it!
The little girl doesn't study well every day, she is competitive, and this problem has to be changed.
——
——
Following the palace maid who led the way, he passed through a long red wall.
There was a sharp turn in front of him, Chen Chao's ears moved slightly, and he heard a burst of eager footsteps from the blind spot of his vision.
Chen Chao stopped in time and made an emergency avoidance.
But the ordinary palace maid who led the way for the Chen Dynasty in front didn't have the ear power, and as soon as she turned the corner, she was bumped into head-on by someone who came.
The two were knocked to the ground at the same time, squatting on the ground, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
"Oops, why don't you walk long, you fell to my death......"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
It was also a little palace maid who hit someone, and she hurriedly got up after hitting someone, not caring about the bruises on her hands.
After helping the other party up and apologizing, he has to leave with his skirt.
Maybe there's something urgent waiting for her to do.
In short, she looked anxious.
But when she took two steps and suddenly looked back at Chen Chao, who was standing against the wall, carrying a medicine box on his shoulder and wearing the clothes of an imperial doctor, her eyes lit up.
Chen Chao was taken aback and couldn't help but take half a step back.
What are you doing looking at me like this?
Don't you come here......
Secretly screaming that something was not good, the palace maid who had hit the person before had already turned back, came to Chen Chao, and asked in surprise:
"Imperial Doctor, are you Imperial Doctor?"
Chen Chao nodded.
Currently counted...... Right.
Chen Chao looked down at his clothes, this leather was worn on his body, no wonder others would ask this.
Seeing Chen Chao nodding, the palace maid with an anxious face seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly pulled Chen Chao to leave, "My lord, come with the slave and maid, my mother coughs up blood non-stop." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Chen Chao's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Then he was dragged by the palace maid and dragged away.
Not long after, Chen Chao was taken to a remote palace, and before he had time to take a closer look at where this was, several older palace maids who were in a hurry at the palace gate saw that the imperial doctor had been invited so soon, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly dragged Chen Chao in.
Shao leaned, Chen Chao saw his patient in the room.
It was a woman in her forties in a plain dress, with a pale face and colorless lips.
She was now lying in bed, coughing incessantly.
A few strands of gray hair had grown between his sideburns, and he obviously looked terminally ill.
Entering the room, Chen Chao did not dare to make the slightest move, for fear of revealing his identity.
Under the watchful eyes of the palace maids around him, Chen Chao began to perform the duties of an imperial doctor, first taking the medicine box off his shoulder and taking out the pulse pillow. A palace maid brought a round stool and placed it next to the bed, so that Chen Chao could sit down and cut his pulse better and faster.
Chen Chao was calm and calm, and his movements were not in a hurry or panic.
He knew that the more this time came, the more he could not panic.
Fortunately, the two cheats given by Han Lao at the beginning, one is the inner strength method, and the other is about the knowledge of poison, which contains some tips for cutting the pulse.
Usually, Chen Chao will also take a look and learn to cut the pulse of the people around him.
Although it is not as skilled as those elderly doctors, it is a piece of cake to usually watch a headache or a cold or something.
Chen Chao sat on a round stool and began to pretend to cut the woman's pulse.
The palace maids who were waiting on the side did not dare to disturb the imperial doctor's consultation, and they all held their breath.
Although the young imperial physician had never seen him before, he seemed to be very calm and confident.
I guess he has real skills.
Although there was a handkerchief between the wrist of the woman on the bed, Chen Chao could still feel the delicate skin of the woman on the bed.
While cutting the pulse, Chen Chao was guessing in his heart what the identity of this woman was?
She lives in the palace, is the head of a palace, is about forty years old, and there are many palace maids around her.
The answer is imminent.
A certain concubine of the first emperor!
In the process of cutting the pulse, Chen Chao gradually frowned, he didn't know why, he felt that something was wrong, Yu Guang looked at the room for a moment, and found nothing abnormal.
Suddenly, Chen Chao twitched his nose slightly, and he smelled a faint sweet smell in the air.
At the same time, Chen Chao felt that his perception was slowly declining with the passage of time.
Can this sweet taste paralyze the nerves?
Exhaling softly, Chen Chao's expression was solemn.
After another moment, he withdrew his hand and said:
"Niangniang's pulse is a little weak, but her lungs are full of dryness, and the situation is a little bad, what is the diagnosis of the imperial doctor who saw Niangniang before?"
Chen Chao probably knew that the woman should have a lung problem by cutting the pulse.
And it is very serious, if it is not treated, it will be a month or two of work to return to the west, but what the specific disease, Chen Chao is not clear.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and Chen Chao is not specialized in this.
The woman lying on the bed coughed incessantly, and the palace maid, who was still waiting by the bedside, replied, "It's tuberculosis!" ”
"Tuberculosis ......"
After listening to this answer, Chen Chao nodded slowly.
That's right.
No wonder he coughs nonstop.
Tuberculosis is the equivalent of tuberculosis in later generations.
At the current level of medical care, it is equivalent to a direct death sentence, and there is no cure.
While speaking, the woman on the bed suddenly coughed a few times, and blood appeared on the handkerchief covering her mouth, and the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her, worried that it was broken.
Chen Chao stood up, took back the pulse pillow and other tools, and silently retreated.
Prepare to prescribe a few pairs of pills and leave.
He can't cure this disease, and he can't rule it.
As for home remedies, he knew a few, but more things were better than less, and he didn't dare to use them indiscriminately for this concubine.
What if I am directly cured?
"My lord, what should I do? You should think of a way," the palace maid pulled Chen Chao and asked him to hurry up and find a way.
Chen Chao simply comforted him twice, and took a pen to write a prescription.
The palace maid saw that it was similar to the prescriptions prescribed by the several imperial doctors who came to see the doctor before, and her face was full of disappointment.
And when Chen Chao put pen to paper to write the prescription, the woman on the bed either knew that she could not survive this difficulty, so she grabbed the palace maid who was close to her and said angrily: "Emperor, Emperor Ji, call Emperor Ji to ......"
Tiji?
Who is it?
Chen Chao thought about it, but didn't figure it out.
After writing the prescription and handing it to the palace maid, Chen Chao was about to leave, but before leaving, while no one was paying attention, his little finger reached into the incense burner and hid the incense ash on the cover of his fingernails.
Leaving the house, just a few steps.
A little girl ran in front of her, it was the seventeenth princess Yingying.
Chen Chao retreated to the side, leaned over and saluted slightly, the little girl didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Chao, she didn't even look at it, and ran into the house like the wind.
After the little girl passed by, the corners of Chen Chao's mouth twitched slightly.
It seems that the woman in the house is not a concubine of the first emperor, but the Empress Dowager Yang.
——
After leaving the palace, Chen Chao woke up Hou Ji, who was napping by the car.
Hou Ji slept soundly, and from time to time he had to reach out and scratch his face.
was woken up by the photo, and was shocked when he saw Chen Chao, and stammered: "Xiang, Xiangye?" Why is it coming out now? It's over so soon? ”
It stands to reason that it shouldn't.
Xiangye is very long-lasting.
Chen Chaobai glanced at him and boarded the carriage, asked Hou Ji to drive back to the house, and did not answer Hou Ji's question immediately, but asked: "The Empress Dowager Yang in the palace is suffering from tuberculosis?" ”
"Seems to be."
Hou Ji thought about it, but he wasn't sure, after all, he didn't remember everything clearly.
"What's wrong, Xiangye, what's wrong?"
Chen Chao told Hou Ji what happened to him in the palace, and Hou Ji listened to it with a solemn face.
It seems that after sending Xiangye back to the house, he will have to trouble again.
In case the Empress Dowager Yang can't survive tonight and hangs up directly, if the palace finds out, who is the imperial doctor who treated the Empress Dowager Yang today? That's troublesome, although I'm not afraid to check, but I can't bear to have a hundred secrets.
"Hou Ji, ask Han Lao to come to Beijing tomorrow morning."
"Hmm."
Chen Chao was suddenly dragged to see Empress Dowager Yang in the palace, Hou Ji will be responsible for dealing with the follow-up of this matter, what Chen Chao has to do now is to see Han Lao tomorrow, he has too many questions to ask Han Lao.
This time in the palace, Chen Chao discovered many secrets.
