Chapter 2 The Pretty Concubine Fights the Eunuch and Escapes into the Deep Valley (2)
The queen's illness became more and more serious, the queen mother and the emperor issued orders one after another, ordering the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to cure the queen, the hospital was very anxious, and the harem was also in a panic, at this time, the virtuous concubine Sun Xianglan thought of the queen's serious illness, and suddenly had a plan, she decided to use the opportunity of the queen's serious illness to design the disaster on the concubine He Zhihan and his father.
Previously, Sun Xianglan had already squeezed He Zhihan's father He Junren through his family's influence in the court, causing He Junren to lose his position as a judge in the Imperial Hospital, He Junren was still a doctor, but he had just been dismissed from his post and was now not qualified to treat the queen's illness.
Sun Xianglan found the palm print eunuch Zhang Lianying, she pretended to be very worried about the queen's condition, and asked Zhang Lianying to recommend He Taiyi to the queen mother to treat the queen, because the He family has been a royal doctor for several generations, and her medical skills are excellent, she thinks that He Zhihan's father may be able to cure the queen's illness, Zhang Lianying is a sleek and old high-ranking official in the inner court, it is not easy for him to get the position of palm print eunuch, he will not interfere in such a risky matter as recommending the imperial doctor to treat the queen's illness, he politely declined Sun Xianglan's request, for this sensitive matter, the virtuous concubine Sun Xianglan did not dare to give an order to Zhang Lianying as a concubine, for fear that she would do too explicit and expose her schemes。
The road to Zhang Lianying to the Empress Dowager Jianyi did not work, Sun Xianglan chose another path, she found Shen Deyi, the eunuch of the Duzhi Supervisor, Shen Deyi and Sun Xianglan's father, Sun Jianming, the head of the household department, had a very close relationship, and many things of Sun Xianglan were also handed over to Shen Deyi to do, and Shen Deyi did things for Concubine Xian every time. can be rewarded by her, and the relationship between Sun Xianglan and Shen Deyi is also extraordinary.
Sun Xianglan said to Shen Deyi anxiously: "Father-in-law Shen, the queen is so sick, the slave family is dying, last night the slave family thought of a way to save the queen, you know, Concubine De's maiden family has been a royal doctor for several generations, and her father He Junren is very skilled in medicine, and last time he was dismissed from his position in the hospital for mishandling things, but his medical skills are among the best if they are not second to none in the Tai Hospital." Father-in-law Shen must help. Go and beg the emperor or the queen mother, let Concubine Xian's father, Imperial Doctor He, treat the queen, maybe he can cure the queen's illness, and now the queen is already very sick. The envoys and judges of the hospital are helpless. There can be no further delay. You've got to do this a favor!"
Shen Deyi looked at Sun Xianglan with a sneer, and he thought to himself: "Others don't know that your virtuous concubine is very scheming, don't I, Shen Deyi, know it? You have such a kind heart to save the queen? Isn't it more beneficial for you to die of illness? You are a popular candidate to ascend the throne of the imperial concubine." If the queen is gone, you are closer to the queen's position, our family will not believe that you are sincere in saving the queen, your seemingly well-meaning Jian yì must have other purposes, if you are really worried about the queen's illness, why don't you go directly to the emperor? Isn't the pillow language more effective? Also, the reason why Concubine De's father, He Junren, lost his position as a court judge has a lot to do with your Sun family, and now you strongly recommend Imperial Doctor He to treat the queen's illness, this must be an ulterior motive. ”
Thinking of this, Shen Deyi said: "How dare the servants of the concubine Niangniang's order dare to disobey, but Concubine De's father has just been removed from the post of court judge, he is not qualified to treat the queen, you are afraid that the embassy of the Tai Hospital will object, if the Tai Hospital recommends him to the emperor, the emperor may not agree, this matter is a little difficult to do, the slave is afraid that he will not be able to complete the task assigned by the concubine Niangniang, if things do not go well, please forgive the concubine Niangniang!"
"It's important to save people, the emperor also knows that the He family is a medical family, at this critical time, the emperor should agree, the palace knows, as long as it is what Shen Gonggong wants to do, there is nothing that can't be done, human life is at stake, the queen is in danger, and please ask Shen Gonggong to help!" Concubine Xian said, handing a pearl to the palace maid, the palace maid handed the pearl to Shen Deyi, and the concubine asked Shen Deyi to do things, and there was a heavy reward every time, which was almost a routine.
Concubine Xian's words have been said to this point, Shen Deyi can't refuse, Shen Deyi understands that the queen is critically ill, once she returns to heaven, Shen Deyi will have to rely on Concubine Xian in the harem, he can't offend Concubine Xian, at the same time, he doesn't want to offend Concubine Xian's family, in addition, Shen Deyi thought in his heart, no matter what the purpose of Concubine Xian's construction is, what conspiracy she wants to make, it will not be unfavorable to Shen Deyi, and he decided to help Concubine Xian.
Shen Deyi is an old and cunning eunuch, he is very willing to help Concubine Xian, but he is never willing to be used as a substitute for the dead ghost by Concubine Xian, he did not go to the emperor and the queen mother to propose the construction of the emperor and the queen mother according to what the concubine said, he knows that if he directly goes to the emperor or the queen mother to propose the construction of the palace, once the queen is not cured, his responsibility cannot be shirked, once something happens, if the emperor turns his face, he will die and have no place to be buried, so he came up with a safe way, he went to the hospital and found the envoy of the hospital.
When Jiang Dexing, the envoy of Tai Hospital, saw Shen Deyi coming, he said happily: "Shen Gonggong is here, do you have any instructions? It's great that you can come to Tai Hospital, just help us!"
"Our family knows that the envoy must be anxious when he encounters a major event that the queen is seriously ill, so our family specially came to see you, and our family is also very worried about the queen's illness, I don't know what new treatment methods there are in the hospital, the emperor and the queen and the concubine are very anxious, you have to do everything you can to find a way!" Shen Deyi said to the hospital envoy as soon as he entered the hospital.
"Grandpa Shen, you should have come to help a long time ago, the queen's illness is a serious disease, the hospital has used all kinds of medicines but it has not worked, the hospital doesn't know what to do, very anxious, you have to say something good for us to say something good to the emperor, otherwise, it will be difficult to save my thin life!" Jiang Dexing said anxiously.
"The life of the queen mother is more precious, of course you should be anxious, but some diseases are extremely difficult to cure, and you are temporarily helpless when you encounter a serious disease, which is also understandable, for the queen's illness, have all the doctors in your hospital participated in the consultation?" Shen Deyi asked.
"All the doctors who are qualified to participate in the treatment have participated in the consultation, and we have used several prescriptions, but there is no improvement, and we don't know what to do.
"We do have a building in our house, and now is a very momentous time. You have to dare to use extraordinary people, since you all have no way, can you let Concubine De's father He Junren come to heal, the He family has several generations of imperial doctors, and his medical skills are excellent, you also know this, although he is not a court judge now, but the level of medical skills is still there, you might as well let him heal the queen, he may have a way. Shen Deyi said.
"Shen Gonggong has this building. How dare you not do it? Besides, now that the hospital is at a loss, your proposal may be a solution to the dilemma. I went to find Concubine De's father on the next horse. I hope that Imperial Doctor He can have a trick to save people. The hospital envoy said.
"The emperor has not been consulted on this matter. You act carefully, we think, Taiyi He may have a way. If you do it seriously, our family will speak for you in front of the emperor, don't worry!" Shen Deyi said.
Jiang Dexing found Concubine De's father He Junren according to Shen Deyi's instructions, and he said: "Doctor He, I must ask you to go out of the mountain, you probably already know that the queen's illness is very strict, and we have prescribed a few prescriptions but nothing has improved, you must go and see and save the queen!"
"Your Excellency, you have already come down from the court judgment, and you are not qualified to see a doctor for the queen, so it is better for you to ask someone else to treat you!" He Junren said.
"You save the queen, and also save the hospital, saving the dead and helping the injured is the true character of Langzhong, you can't watch a seriously ill person can't get out of danger and be indifferent, not to mention that this seriously ill person is the queen, your He family has several generations of famous doctors, with you to help, the queen may be saved!" Jiang Dexing begged He Junren again to help.
"Lord Envoy, in fact, I don't have a great deal of confidence in Xia, I won't tell you, I have heard the doctors talk in private, the Queen Mother's illness is a vicious disease, and she must be given fierce medicine, and she doesn't dare to start lightly in Xia, in case of a business trip, it is a capital crime!"
"If you don't make a move, there is no way for others in the hospital, if the queen's illness is not cured, we are also a capital crime, I support you, you go to diagnose, boldly treat, maybe the queen still has a chance to live, please!" Jiang Dexing said.
Imperial Physician He was very kind-hearted, he agreed to the request of the hospital envoy Jiang Dexing, and he decided to help the queen treat her illness.
Jiang Dexing led Imperial Physician He into the palace, and after Emperor Ming, Imperial Physician He diagnosed the queen, and after that, He Junren discussed with the envoy and prescribed medicine to the queen according to the results of the diagnosis, but for the first time, Imperial Physician He did not dare to prescribe too strong medicine.
After the queen took the medicine, she gradually got better, and the court envoy was very happy to see him, and he quickly played the emperor, and the emperor was also very happy, and he issued a decree to restore the post of the court judge of He Junren, so that he must seriously treat the queen's illness.
Doctor He saw that the prescription was effective, he had confidence in curing the queen, so he increased the amount of medicine, he wanted the queen to get better faster, he handed over the new prescription to the eunuch in charge of the queen's affairs, and asked the eunuch to pick up the medicine in the Tai Hospital, and the eunuch took the medicine and handed it to the queen's personal palace maid to decoction the medicine.
A few days later, the queen's illness improved significantly, and the queen mother was very happy to hear it, and ordered to reward Imperial Doctor He, and the matter spread in the harem.
Concubine Xian soon learned about it, and she thought: " Concubine Ben originally thought that the queen's illness was no longer saved, and deliberately asked Gonggong Shen to recommend Imperial Physician He to treat the queen, so as to make a fuss, but now it is self-defeating, and let Imperial Physician He revive the queen, which not only allows the queen to continue to be in charge of the harem, but also reinstates the imperial physician He, so that Concubine De is also a blessing in disguise, and Concubine Ben has suffered heavy losses, so that the status of Concubine De is bound to be squeezed behind Concubine De, which is intolerable and unacceptable, and must find another way to change the current predicament. ”
Concubine Xian encountered a predicament, her heart was manic, she decided to take a risk, she boldly bought a little eunuch next to the queen, she handed a packet of medicine powder to the little eunuch, and secretly told the little eunuch to add the medicine to the decoction when the palace maid who decocted the medicine for the queen did not pay attention.
In fact, this medicine powder is secretly hidden by Concubine Xian, this medicine powder is developed from deer antlers, deer horn gum, dog whips, seahorses, etc., originally, this medicine powder is Xian Concubine in bed with the emperor, quietly soaked for the emperor to drink, this time, she heard that the queen's illness is the liver fire is too strong, she knows a little about medical science, in a hurry, she had to take out this medicine powder, this is also her last resort.
After a while, the palace maid found that after the queen drank the medicine this time, her face became very red, and the queen felt dizzy and hot, she was angry at every turn, and her condition was obviously aggravated.
Jiang Dexing and He Junren arrived at the inner palace, the queen was already dying, Imperial Doctor He looked at the queen's condition, he was surprised, he felt that the prescription he prescribed would not make the queen's condition so severe, the prescription he prescribed was to reduce liver fire, and the queen's current illness was like taking yang tonic medicine, which was very strange.
Jiang Dexing hurriedly made a diagnosis for the queen, he found that the queen's illness was stricter than before He Taiyi's treatment, the liver fire was extremely strong, and the fire in the body seemed to be burning, Jiang Dexing suspected that Mrs. He was the wrong medicine, he re-prescribed a new prescription to reduce the liver fire for the queen, the queen took the medicine, and it did not improve significantly, and the people in the harem were panicked when they knew it.
At this time, there were rumors in the palace that it was Imperial Physician He who had a grudge against Jiang Dexing, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, because he was removed from his post last time, and at the same time he was dissatisfied with the emperor and deliberately retaliated.
The doctors discussed a lot, saying that He Junren had hatred in his heart and deliberately prescribed strange prescriptions to vent his hatred.
Jiang Dexing in order to protect himself, he put all the responsibility on He Junren, Jiang Dexing reported to the emperor, relayed the views of the imperial doctors, and believed that He Junren deliberately increased the dosage, and as a result, the drug was too violent, harming the queen.
After the emperor heard Jiang Junren's report, he became angry and thought that He Junren's behavior was very bad, and he immediately issued an order to arrest He Junren and put him in prison.
The matter reached the queen mother, the queen mother was also very angry, she hated the doctor the most for not having medical ethics, she sent a decree, if the hospital failed to revive the queen, he would be executed, and the hospital would put Jiang Dexing into prison to be dealt with.
On the one hand, the emperor ordered the imperial hospital to save the empress, and on the other hand, he issued an order to the celebrant to send someone to check the medicine that the empress had taken before, and the celebrant sent someone to check the residue of the medicine taken by the empress, and found no aggravating ingredients in the residue.
The celebrant reported what he had found to the emperor, but the emperor did not immediately execute Ho Chun-jen, but Ho Chun-jen was still in prison and was waiting to be dealt with.
Jiang Dexing was afraid that he would not be able to cure the queen, so he was very anxious, so he called the imperial doctor for a consultation, he remembered that he wanted to heat the ants on the pot, but he didn't know what to do.
The palace maid reported these conditions to the virtuous concubine Sun Xianglan, who was secretly happy in her heart, and she was glad that her adventure had been a great success.
When Concubine He Zhihan heard the news of his father's arrest and imprisonment, she felt very uncomfortable and worried about his father's safety, so she sent the right-hand man who was in charge of serving her to investigate the original situation.
However, He Zhihan never expected that she was already in danger, and Sun Xianglan's poisonous plan was coming towards her. (To be continued......)
