The punishment of the female imperial court

Yu Qiansi narrowed her eyes and smiled as she watched all this. She thought of her plan just now and recalled Shang Fu's appearance. She smiled sweetly and said in a conciliatory way, "Wanyaotang has been a famous brand for many years. It should not do such a shameful thing."

Then someone nodded in agreement.

When Zhang Yu saw her speak, he was a little at a loss, and seemed a little confused, and couldn't help but secretly glance at her.

Yu Qiansi pretended to be ignorant and said softly with her head tilted, "But this old woman looks pitiful, her voice is clear and full of energy, and she really doesn't look like someone who has dirty hands and feet. I think there must be a misunderstanding, so why don't we both say sorry and let it go."

"Yes, yes. The blind woman has been working as a helper in Longyuan City for many years. I have never seen her do anything dirty. It must be a misunderstanding."

The blind woman lowered her head, huddled together, and was unwilling to respond to Yu Qiansi's words.

The manager was still angry. When he saw a group of people gathered together, looking at him eagerly, including some familiar faces from the other two pharmacies, he immediately said coldly, "I'm sorry."

The blind woman still lowered her head and did not express her opinion. Seeing that the manager was about to get angry again, the blind woman bowed slowly and gave in.

Zhang Yu, who was standing by, seemed to be relieved as well. He quickly signaled, ordering the officials to disperse the crowd of onlookers, and he went forward to support the blind woman.

Yu Qiansi strode up the stairs, still smiling brightly, and said to the waiter, "Give the bamboo stick back to the old man!"

The waiter had never seen such a smile before, and for a moment he felt as if he had fallen into a field of flowers, and for some reason he shuddered. Seeing that he was still standing there, the manager took the bamboo stick from the waiter and threw it at Mo Niang's feet.

She turned her head to look down the stairs, the remaining anger in her eyes as light as smoke and dust, like the bamboo stick. But after a careful consideration, the moment she turned her head, her expression changed.

There was a hint of worry in that harmless smile.

Seeing this, the steward put on a respectful expression and bowed his head, saying, "Please come in."

Yu Qiansi nodded slightly, but when she entered the room, she caught a glimpse of the blind woman who, for some reason, pushed away Zhang Yu who was handing her the bamboo stick, and groped her way away.

Inside Wanyao Hall, a strong aroma of medicine made Yu Qiansi feel dazed for a moment, as if she had returned to the Yu home many years ago. The little sunlight that fell from the patio divided the room full of amazing flowers and plants into yin and yang.

"I am the manager here, my surname is Sun." Manager Sun saw that Yu Qiansi had an extraordinary demeanor and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

"To be honest, Grandpa brought me to Longyuan to look for some antiques, which was also a way to relax. But he fell ill on the second day after entering the city." Yu Qiansi imitated the soft and sweet voice of Jiangnan, and said with some bitterness: "Although there is an old doctor accompanying us, he was called from outside after my mother passed away and my aunt was pregnant with my brother. He is not the doctor we usually use in the family. These days, he has been prescribing medicine every day, but Grandpa is not awake. I also thought about having someone bring him to Wanyaotang, but the doctor didn't allow it, and the servants just thought I was young and didn't listen to me."

Having said this, Yu Qiansi stopped and lowered his head as if choking.

After a long while, he slowly said, "I have inquired about it. Wanyaotang is the most famous pharmacy in Longyuan City. Your doctor must be excellent! If he can prescribe the right medicine according to the symptoms I described, maybe he can make Grandpa sober up first. Then I can bring him to Wanyaotang for treatment."

Manager Sun thought that this woman was pitiful, having lost her mother's honor guard and her father was harmed by her aunt. He felt so much pity for her that he had forgotten all the unpleasantness he had just felt. He immediately invited Yu Qiansi into the compartment, asked someone to prepare tea, and went to invite the doctor.

Yu Qiansi kept her eyes slightly lowered and twisted the handkerchief in her hands, as if she was trying hard to suppress her sadness.

After Manager Sun left, a waiter added hot tea and brought a charcoal basin, adding a handful of crumbs to the basin. The whole room immediately exuded a fragrance. After the waiter left, Yu Qiansi breathed a sigh of relief and sniffed carefully. It was mint and jasmine.

It should be dried and then added with sandalwood chips to make spices. I think it is the leftovers of medicinal materials. This is a unique way to make full use of it.

She looked at the steam rising from the hot tea on the table and felt relieved. Fortunately, before leaving Beijing, the young master prepared several identity cards and passbooks for her, which made it convenient for them to do things on the road. Last night, she made up the words she had said yesterday, and even used money to find someone to pretend to be her seriously ill father, and was carried into the inn.

Today's explanation was also the result of her thinking for a long time yesterday. Only in this way could she explain why she couldn't come to the patient's home to see the doctor, so as not to be exposed.

Not long after, an old man with a white beard walked into the compartment and spoke softly. It seemed that he, like Manager Sun, already knew about her tragic life experience.

"Miss, although I can make a rough diagnosis by relaying your information, it is not accurate enough after all. I still need you to understand a little bit. Furthermore, I need you to explain it in as much detail as possible."

"I understand," Yu Qiansi replied quickly, "I have been helping Grandpa boil medicine these past few days, and I am very familiar with his condition."

Yu Qiansi nodded and told the old man a typical example of a person who had an irregular diet and was fond of fatty, sweet, and wine.

Sure enough, the old man held his white beard and breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his head and saying, "So, your father's diet is not moderate, he is addicted to fatty and sweet food, wine and cheese, which has caused dampness and phlegm. In addition, he caught a cold after walking, which induced phlegm and dampness to obscure his clear mind, so he fell into a coma. This is not difficult to deal with."

Yu Qiansi pretended to be worried and asked anxiously, "Why hasn't he woken up in a few days?"

The old man opened his eyes and asked tentatively, "Miss, do you know what medicine your father took?"

"Well, there aren't too many, but I remember one." Yu Qiansi thought for a moment, "It's called 'Huanglian Wendan Decoction'."

After hearing this, the old man's eyes widened, as if there were two holes in the withered tree. "Ridiculous! Your father has wind and phlegm blocking the orifices. At the very least, you should use Qufeng Huatan Decoction to dispel depression, open the orifices, strengthen the spleen and replenish qi. How can you use a prescription that mainly treats phlegm and heat?"

"Then my grandfather will"

Seeing Yu Qiansi's pale face and bewilderment, the old man realized that he had said something too harsh. He waved his hand, spread out his writing brush and said, "Miss, don't worry. Although Huanglian Wendan Decoction is not completely effective, it is slightly effective and will not make the condition worse. I will write a prescription for your father right away."

Finally, when the old man handed the pharmacy to Yu Qiansi, he added earnestly: "Don't be afraid, young lady. If the servants are difficult to deal with, you can ask the inn's staff to help you boil the medicine. If it is really difficult, you can go to the government office to report the case. Although you are strangers, the county lieutenant of Longyuan City is an honest man. He will definitely make the decision for you."

Yu Qiansi held the pharmacy in both hands, expressing gratitude and thanking the owner many times. Only then did he get the medicine at the counter and was sent out of Wanyaotang.

After making sure that there was no one behind her, she followed the same method and went to Yujing Hall and Yuyin Hall respectively.

Then, he returned to the inn with three identical prescriptions.

After carefully analyzing the three prescriptions and medicinal materials, she found something interesting. (End of this chapter)
