Accompanied by the two eunuchs Wan and Wu and the imperial physician Jiang Dexing, Ho Zhihan returned to the harem, where she was allowed to diagnose the empress's condition, and Ho Zhihan carefully checked the queen's pulse, and she found that the empress's condition was even stricter than she expected.

He Zhihan found that the queen's main illness is yin deficiency and fire, which is caused by a major injury to yin fluid, and the deficiency fire is endogenous, forming yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, and the surface is dry mouth and throat, dizziness and tinnitus, red tongue and little moss, weak pulse, and red cheeks in the afternoon.

To He Zhihan's surprise, in addition to the yin deficiency and fire, the queen also had a real fire and yang energy deep in her body, which should be caused by taking a great tonic for yang.

He Zhihan thought: "Could it be that someone deliberately let the queen take the medicine of Yiyang, wanting to aggravate her condition?"

Yang deficiency and fire are not the same as yin deficiency and fire prosperity, yang deficiency fire is also known as floating yang and surpassing, that is, it is commonly referred to as "cold and heat", mainly for cold, deficiency and fire, insomnia, dizziness, irritability, dry stools, red tongue, etc.

False fire mainly manifests low-grade fever, night sweats, upset, dry mouth, etc., while real fire mainly manifests oral ulcers, epigastric discomfort, dry mouth and bitter mouth, dry and hard stools, etc., and the coexistence of false fire and real fire in the body at the same time, which indicates that the disease is very serious.

He Zhihan knew that there are two kinds of false fire, one is the heat of the yin deficiency, the loss of the true yin, and the water does not make the fire, and the other is the heat of the yang deficiency, which is the exhaustion of the yuan and yang, and the fire does not return to the yuan.

The queen has both yin deficiency and yang deficiency and fire, which is not easy to heal, for those who are yin deficiency and fire, it is necessary to solve the problem that yin deficiency can not control yang, and the deficiency and yang are hyperactive. For those who are deficient in yang and prosperous in fire, it is necessary to warm and replenish the kidney yang and lead the fire to return to the source, in order to obtain the effect of replenishing yang and benefiting yin.

However, He Zhihan knew in her heart that the two kinds of deficiency fire in the queen's body coexisted, and she must be more cautious in using medicine, if she uses too many yin tonic drugs in order to cure yin deficiency and fire, it may cause yin to be strong and yang weak, making yang deficiency stricter, and if you use too many yang tonic drugs. It is possible that yin deficiency may occur, and the result of not being able to control yang. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish yin and yang at the same time, but it must not be overly drugged to cure the queen's illness. Multiple balances must be carefully managed. That is, the balance between the virtual and the real. The balance between yin and yang, the balance between reducing the false fire and the real fire, the balance between supplementing yin and supplementing yang, etc.

The queen has been ill for a long time. Her body is very weak, and she should give priority to solving yin deficiency and fire prosperity, supplemented by solving yang deficiency and fire prosperity, He Zhihan prescribed a medicine, mainly to treat yin deficiency.

He Zhihan combined with the secret recipe of the He family and first prescribed a prescription: "Four coins of kudzu root, two coins of Mao root, three coins of wheat winter, two coins of skullcap and four cents, four coins of raw land, two coins of Xuanshen, one coin of licorice and six cents, two coins of Bupleurum chinensis, two coins and four cents of white peony, and two coins of sand ginseng." In order to regulate yang deficiency, return to yang and save adversity, and invigorate qi and solidify it, she added a few more flavored medicines: "Two coins of codonopsis, two coins of attached tablets, three coins of astragalus membranaceus, three coins of calcined keel, three coins of oysters, three coins of mountain meat, and one coin of cinnamon." ”

The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital had to admire the prescriptions she prescribed, she was very bold and put the medicines that tonified yin and yang together, and at the same time carefully reduced the amount of key medicines, so that the infirm could bear it and avoid accidents.

Eunuch Wu asked the hospital to grasp two pairs of the same medicine, and boiled at the same time, after the decoction, Eunuch Wu acted according to the queen mother's decree, and let He Zhihan drink one of the medicines first, after she drank the medicine, there was nothing abnormal, the eunuch ordered the palace maid to serve the medicine to the queen, and the palace maid helped the queen to drink the medicine half-sitting and half-lying to drink the medicine, and after drinking the medicine, the queen lay down and rested.

Eunuch Wu said to He Zhihan: "Concubine De Niangniang, the queen has finished drinking the medicine, as soon as it is normal, you will go back to the palace to rest first, let Gonggong Wan send you back, and leave the affairs here to the slaves, there are Lin Zhong and the imperial doctor here, if there is any change in the queen's condition, the slave will let the imperial doctor Lin go to you for instructions!"

"Father-in-law Wu, the queen's condition is very serious, within two hours of her taking the medicine, the concubine must be by her side, timely and carefully observe the changes in her condition after taking the medicine, so that she can know how to add or subtract when she prescribes the medicine next time, so please ask the queen to see if she can be in her room, let the concubine accompany her with her personal palace maid. ”

"Concubine De cares so much about the queen, what you ask the slave to do, how dare the slave not do it for you, you wait, the slave will go to the queen for instructions. Wu Degui said.

After a while, Wu Degui came out and said to He Zhihan: "The queen agrees to let you stay, she asked the servant to thank you for her, she has asked the palace maid to build a new bed for you, please come over in a while!"

"This is great, if the concubine can stay in the queen's room, it will be very convenient for the queen to treat the queen, Gonggong Wan, Gonggong Wu, you two are resting outside, Imperial Doctor Lin will be with you, if there is anything, the concubine will let the palace maid beside the queen come out to tell you, see you tomorrow!" He Zhihan said.

Lin Zhonghe said: "Concubine De Niangniang, how is the situation of the queen after taking the medicine, please let the palace maid pass the word out in an hour and a half, so that the two fathers-in-law and the emperor can report to the queen and the emperor, please!"

"Okay, don't worry, Concubine Ben will let the palace maid pass on the message to you!" said Concubine De.

An hour and a half later, Lin Zhonghe and the others got the news from the palace maid that the queen's condition was stable after taking the medicine, and she had fallen asleep relatively peacefully, indicating that the medicine was effective.

Lin Zhonghe quietly said to the palace maid who passed the message: "Cuilian, you must tell Concubine De Niangniang when you go back, saying that Lin Zhonghe and the imperial doctor asked her to come out tomorrow morning, and she has something important to report to her!"

In the early morning of the second day, the queen woke up very early, she didn't need to rely on the palace maid to support, she could get up by herself and half sit and half lie down.

He Zhihan also woke up, she was very happy to see that the queen could move herself, and knew that the medicine had an effect, so she hurried over to ask the queen for peace.

The queen took Concubine De's hand and said: "Thank you, good sister, or your medical skills, let this palace come alive again, the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital are stupid, the more they treat, the more sick the palace becomes!"

"The queen's body has just recovered slightly, please don't talk much. My sister must cure your illness, please rest assured!" said Concubine De.

"Well, this palace believes you!" said the queen.

"The queen's health has improved after taking the medicine, and my sister must explain the situation to the two fathers-in-law outside and Imperial Doctor Lin, so that they can report to the queen mother and the emperor, and ask the mother to rest, and my sister will come when she goes!" said Concubine De.

The Empress nodded in agreement.

Concubine De went outside and told the two eunuchs Wan and Wu and Imperial Doctor Lin about the situation, they were all very happy, and Eunuch Wu asked Eunuch Wan to report to Zhang Lianying. Let Zhang Lianying report to the emperor and queen.

After Eunuch Wan left. Lin Zhonghe whispered to He Zhihan: "Concubine De Niangniang, before Wei Chen left the Tai Hospital, he accidentally heard an important situation, Shen Deyi and Jiang Dexing are planning a new plan to harm you. For your safety. You can only stay with the queen for three days. After three days, you must find a way to leave, otherwise you will be in a desperate situation. Please get ready, Wechen will find a way to let you leave! Three days later, in the morning, please send the palace maid out, and Wechen will tell you the plan!"

"Okay, Uncle Lin, Gonggong Wu is his own person, if you have anything, you can also ask him for help, he is a good person!" He Zhihan said.

"If Concubine De cures the queen's illness, Shen Deyi and Concubine Xian will feel that they are threatened, they will definitely be like mad dogs, they are crazy to frame Concubine De, please Concubine De Niangniang must be careful, if Imperial Doctor Lin needs help, just say, our family will do our best!" Wu Degui said.

"Gonggong Wu, thank you! Now that my mentor Taiyi He has been framed by Shen Deyi and they have died unjustly, now, we must protect Concubine De Niangniang, please Gonggong Wu must do his best to support. Lin Zhonghe said.

"The two of us have the same idea, you can rest assured, our family's life was saved by Dr. He, in order to protect the safety of Concubine De, the slave can fight for his life!" Wu Degui said.

"Thank you two seniors, my father is lucky to have a friend like you, you don't have to worry too much, Gonggong Zhang of the celebrant may entangle Shen Deyi and them, Shen Deyi and they are actually very afraid. He Zhihan said.

Eunuch Wan reported to Zhang Lianying that the queen's condition had improved significantly after taking the medicine prescribed by Concubine De, Zhang Lianying was very happy to hear it, he hurried to the harem to report to the queen mother, and the queen mother was also very happy when she heard the news.

"Zhang Lianying, you go back and tell Wu Degui, saying that he was right to mention Concubine De to treat the queen, and when he comes back, the mourning family will reward him and ask him to ask Concubine De to treat the queen well, and the mourning family will remember the good things she did. The Queen Mother said.

"The Queen Mother is wise, Concubine De is kind-hearted, and her medical skills are also happy, don't worry, with her treating the queen, the queen will definitely recover, and the queen should be able to come to the queen mother in a few days!" Zhang Lianying said.

"The mourning family likes to hear such words, I hope that as you said, the queen can come to greet the mourning family as soon as possible, it seems that Concubine De still has two sons, and she is better than those imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital!" said the Queen Mother.

"The He family has been a doctor for several generations, and Concubine De inherited her mastery from her father, which can be trusted, by the way, the queen mother is above, and the slave has a request in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it, for fear of making the queen mother angry. Zhang Lianying said.

"You slippery head, just say what you want, you don't dare to say it, in fact, you have already raised the question, say it quickly!" said the Queen Mother.

"The slave feels that Concubine De's father is not very much like a person who dares to harm the queen, he has always paid attention to medical ethics, and he will not deliberately prescribe strange prescriptions, he is likely to be inadvertently mistaken, the slave built a check, if it is not intentional, ask the queen mother to say a fair word to the imperial physician, and let the ministers of the court and the central government know that the queen mother is very wise. Zhang Lianying cautiously pleaded.

"What you said is a bit reasonable, Doctor He regarded medical ethics and reputation as more important than his own life, and he should not deliberately prescribe bad prescriptions, but after all, after the queen took the medicine he prescribed, her condition did worsen, what was going on? At that time, the emperor was right to order him to be imprisoned, and he should not be afraid and commit suicide. Now, since his daughter has made the queen's condition better, the mourning family looks at his daughter's face and agrees with you to investigate the actual situation of his prescription at that time, and you go to investigate and see how Imperial Doctor He made a mistake. The Queen Mother approved Zhang Lianying's request.

Zhang Lianying has the Empress Dowager's decree, he can carefully investigate to see if Shen Deyi has intervened in the death of Imperial Physician He, Zhang Lianying thought: "If Shen Deyi is the mastermind behind the killing of Imperial Physician He, then this time he will die!"

After Zhang Lianying received the Empress Dowager's decree, he quickly bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, and rushed to report to the emperor, who was very happy to know that the empress's condition had improved.

Shen Deyi also quickly got the news that the queen's condition was improving, and after getting the news, he was very worried, he didn't understand why Concubine De, who had been pushed down to the brink of death, came back to life and became the queen's savior.

Concubine Xian also got the same news, she felt both anger and fear, she thought: "Why does He Zhihan, such a good little lamb, have such a powerful means to get out of the laundry room, and it is very likely that he saved the queen and joined forces with the queen to deal with me, I can't figure out, how did this little lamb do it?"

At this time, Concubine Xian felt very depressed, she didn't know what to do next!(To be continued......
