Chapter 85 Old Recipe

Mama Ma held the paper.

There are twelve flavors in the prescription, and in the eyes of people with a little background, the taste is not a rare thing, and there is nothing to pay attention to when cooking it.

Mama Ma murmured in a low voice, trying to recall while reading.

She is really not proficient in the art of Qi and Huang.

The ancestors of the Ma family went to practice medicine, and many medical books and prescriptions have been handed down. She learned to read when she was young, and she recognized them from those prescriptions.

When she was older, she went out to see doctors with her aunts who were medical girls. They wrote prescriptions and she wrote them.

When I was a teenager, my family was involved in a troublesome lawsuit, and they lost and broke up.

Fortunately, the wife of a high-ranking official who had seen a doctor took pity on her, found a way for her, and let her enter the palace to become a palace maid. Because she knew some medicine, she was transferred to the imperial pharmacy when she was nearly 30 years old and became the master of medicine. female officer.

Later, the opportunity came, and she fell into the eyes of the then empress and now the Empress Dowager Shen.

If the empress feels uncomfortable every day, the imperial doctor prescribes a prescription, and she writes it down and then picks, grabs, and prepares the medicine.

Mother Ma always thought that she would stay by her side until she was too old to do anything, but unexpectedly, the princess lost her mother when she was young and often cried at night. Lord here.

This care has lasted for more than ten years.

Ever since the princess grew up, was no longer disturbed by nightmares, and had rare illnesses, Nanny Ma seldom read prescriptions.

Only when other families send some precious medicinal materials, Chen will ask her to go to Zhangyan, or when buying more daily medicinal materials for the nanny, she will help to pick them out, which is not in vain.

Thinking about it this way, it's true that I haven't analyzed the prescription properly for many years...

Obviously, the more you look at it, the more familiar it looks, but you still haven't figured out a direction.

On the contrary, the writing on the paper is very heavy, which is different from the writing of their princess.

The princess's characters are neither big nor small, neat and orderly, just like her character, gentle and obedient.

However, recently, the princess seems to be not so obedient, not to the point of being eccentric, but she no longer follows the rules, showing a lively spirit.

And Miss Zhu Zhan's words did reflect some of her state of mind...

Before I knew it, my thoughts drifted away, as if they were boundless.

When she came back to her senses, Mama Ma secretly complained about her "bad problem", and was about to refocus when suddenly, a vague memory flashed in her mind.

"Why did it take a sudden turn?"

"Recently, I have been worrying a lot, and there are so many vicious words and slander, so..."

"Such a common prescription, is it really symptomatic?"

"Isn't it just because it's not suitable for the symptoms that you take such a prescription for a while?"

"His Royal Highness Jingui's body and bones, how can he use medicine in such a muddle-headed way!"

"Then what do you say? I'm so worried that I can't even write. I can't pick up the pen when I drop it. I also have a headache."

Mama Momo's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Yes!

"His Royal Highness King Ding..." Mama Ma took a breath and looked at Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan has been quietly reading a book.

Recalling this kind of thing, she can't help, instead of urging, it's better to let Mama Mama think about it with peace of mind.

Seeing that Mama Mama seemed to be thinking of something at this moment, Lin Yunyan put down the book.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ding used a prescription similar to this for a while before his death," Mama Ma said.

Lin Yunyan pursed her lips: "Mom, are you sure? When?"

"It looked like a month and a half before his death," Mama Ma was not sure. "The palace may still keep records. There will always be a place in the imperial hospital and imperial pharmacy."

Lin Yunyan nodded.

Without delay, she changed her clothes and went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

The car stopped outside the gate of the West Palace, and the sedan chair slowly arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. When she got out of the sedan chair, Lin Yunyan looked at the plaque on the gate of the palace, and did not move for a long time.

As the main palace of the late emperor, the empress was very trustworthy by the late emperor.

But in her life, she only gave birth to one son, Li Cang, the great highness of the first emperor.

After Li Cang got married, he gave birth to a daughter and a son with the princess.

It is a pity that the youngest son died, and the princess and concubine were overly sad for this, and died of illness not long after.

It stands to reason that Li Cang should remarry a concubine, but he himself didn't like one, and the court has never decided on a suitable candidate, so it dragged on for a year, until the autumn of the 27th year of Taixing.

Emperor Taixing fell ill.

Li Cang supervises the court and attends the sick, how can he have the intention of setting up a new prince and concubine?
Even he himself was tired and sick.

Soon, another Dingguo Temple disaster occurred.

Shen Shi was deeply saddened by Shen Yun's death, but what hit her the most was Li Cang's death at the beginning of the 28th year of the new year.

In another half a year, Emperor Taixing passed away and a new emperor ascended the throne.

The Shen family became the empress dowager from the empress, and Li Cang was posthumously named Dingwang.

Only Li Cang's orphan, Princess Changle, Li Qi, and Lin Yunyan were the only ones who had Cheng Huan with her.

Li Qi was a lot older than her. When Lin Yunyan could remember, Li Qi had already made a marriage contract. After the princess's mansion was built in Shu, she brought the maids and maids to marry far away.

Since then, there have been many letters to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but she herself only came back with Yibin and their children three years ago.

In the past few years, Lin Yunyan was the only one who had been by the empress dowager's side.

Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan was in a very unhappy mood.

In just two years, the empress dowager lost her grandson, her niece who was taken care of like a daughter, her only son, and her husband...

Did the empress dowager suspect the cause of His Royal Highness Ding Wang's death?

More than ten years have passed in a flash, and now, let the Empress Dowager know that His Highness Prince Ding's sudden illness back then may have something to do with it...

Grandma Wang came out to meet her.

Seeing that she was standing outside the palace gate and did not come in, Mother Wang asked with a cheerful smile, "Princess, is there a bird nesting on this plaque?"

Lin Yunyan laughed: "Mommy is teasing me again."

Stepping forward, Lin Yunyan took Wang Momo's hand, with the same smile on her face, but her voice lowered: "There is an old matter, Ma Momo wants to ask Momo for help."

Wang Momo was alert and steady, she glanced at Ma Momo indifferently, and replied softly: "What's the matter? The princess is still so polite to the slaves."

Ma Momo approached, almost biting her ears, and said to Wang Momo: "I saw a prescription recently, and it looks familiar. I want to look for the old files in the imperial pharmacy or imperial hospital. I have already left the palace, and I have to be an old lady." My sister's face..."

Grandma Wang hesitated.

The princess has always known the rules to advance and retreat when dealing with affairs. Although the empress dowager loves her, she never uses this to act carelessly outside, and never makes excessive demands.

The prescription that can make the princess speak is definitely not just a simple curiosity, there must be some story in it.

"Isn't it convenient for the princess to talk to the empress?" She asked softly.

Lin Yunyan nodded slightly: "It's just a guess. If we are wrong, we will disturb the empress in vain and make the empress sigh; if it is true, we will have to report to the empress later. I checked the old prescription of King Ding."

Hearing this, Nanny Wang's heart almost jumped into her throat.
