Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 124 Malaria
Hidden away in the city.

Prince An Yue Le was ordered by Kangxi to try the western medicine quinine, and thought about several things that were inappropriate, but finally did the opposite and set the location at Baita Temple.

This Lama Temple is very close to the Forbidden City, which is convenient for the two sides to pass news and supply medicine and food.Even if someone asks about it, he is not afraid. He only uses the excuse of doing ritual rituals for his daughter who passed away early. He has sealed up the entire temple and done a lot of good deeds. .

If you count carefully, Baita Temple has a history of five or six hundred years. It has always been full of incense and people come and go.This time he opened a stall, and those who had a little friendship with Prince An's Mansion came to give gifts to join him.

After two or three days of chaos, decent people in Beijing knew about it, so he secretly moved in eight eunuchs with severe dysentery, all of whom were under the concubine Tong's hands, and their mouths were stricter than those in the ordinary palace.

This is not to say that the time in between was wasted.According to sources from Fujian and Chakhtu River, quinine is highly toxic if taken in excess, so it must be used with care.The government doctor working in Prince An's mansion took chickens and rabbits to test the medicine first, and experimented with the dosage. He was three-point sure before he dared to give it to anyone.But this medicine was in a hurry and couldn't receive much, so I spent a lot of money and only managed to make up half a catty. I couldn't bear the failure, and everyone inside and outside the palace was very anxious.

The sixth elder brother is in danger, just waiting for the medicine to save his life.Concubine De has been in the palace for many years, and her actions are prudent, but her son is so uncomfortable, she is also confused, and finally can't help but go to Qianqing Palace and cry and beg Kangxi to take a risk.

"If the decoction is useful, I'll see you sooner. Your Majesty, I have only Liu elder brother's own child by my side. I really can't bear to raise him to such a large age. If the foreigner's medicine is useless, then the slave will not complain. Ann Didn't the prince say that several eunuchs have tried it and it worked. Seeing that there is a way, if you don't use it for children, how can you be cruel?"

Kangxi was wearing a black uniform, sitting cross-legged on a low couch, putting on and taking off a red agate finger, going back and forth several times.

"However, there are eunuchs who have eaten it, but it has no effect. If it is eaten bad..."

"Your Majesty, the child passed out twice last night, and the imperial doctor woke up after stabbing him. It's all like this, how bad can it be?"

After Kangxi heard it, he no longer hesitated, and personally took out a three-inch long porcelain bottle from the hidden compartment of the cabinet, and handed it to Concubine De.

"Don't let the imperial doctors know. The medicine they boiled, they tried to pour it out, and there was no one around, and then gave it to the sixth elder brother. I waited to know the effect of the medicine before giving it to him. Now, I have to do my best. Give it a try. Here is the amount for three doses, mix it with clean water and take it.”

Concubine De took the small bottle and held it tightly in her hand, fearing that it would drop, she hurried back to Yonghe Palace.

Early the next morning, when Hai Feng went again, Sixth Brother had already taken quinine once, and his fever was gone. According to him, his stomach pain was not as bad as before. Finally, Concubine De had a smile on her face. Follow Haifeng to talk privately.

"Thanks to you, I was able to think of this method. There is also Prince An, who is not relatives, but who actually helps in this way. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I just try to repay it in the future. Is the money enough?"

"Don't worry, Empress De, there is still half of it. The ancestor also gave 3000 taels in private. It didn't cost much to test the medicine, but the ceremony cost a lot."

Concubine De handed over a sum of money raised from the queen mother to her, asking her to help give it out.

"The empress dowager's kindness, this is a matter of good deeds, don't be reluctant. You have worked hard these days, and you ran a lot. When the sixth elder brother is well, I will ask him to kowtow to you."

Hai Feng put away the money, seeing that brother six finally had a healthy blush on his face, it was worth it to be tired, and then went out for a run.

She had just stepped out of the gate of Yonghe Palace when she saw Fugui, the little eunuch beside her, hurrying over and asking Haifeng to go back to Yikun Palace to talk.

"What's the matter, you have to come back to dare to say it?"

"Master, you must hold your breath after hearing this. I'm afraid it's not good. My master got a letter from outside, saying that when the Baita Temple opened today, there was a wandering doctor. I want to see the prince. The steward originally said that he would give him a few taels of silver to send him away, but this person, he doesn't want money, he just wants us to give him quinine!"

Haifeng was taken aback and almost knocked over the peach oolong that Axiang had just poured.

"Where did the news leak? Isn't everything in order?"

"Who says it's not? The prince has already detained him. The strange thing is yet to come. The doctor said that although quinine is good, it should not be used indiscriminately. He came from Fujian and claimed to know a little about western medicine. Seeing that someone is asking for medicine with a lot of money, I became suspicious and followed all the way for fear of misdiagnosis. The slave didn’t understand what he said, what did he say, dysentery and malaria, malaria, although similar, but different. If you don’t understand the diagnosis and treatment, you will do it, I’m afraid you will get sick human life!"

Hai Feng is not a doctor, after hearing these few words, he also began to hesitate.

Of course she couldn't tell what was dysentery and what was malaria.

Her limited understanding of quinine comes from letters from her aunt in her previous life.

The medicine, Sixth Brother took it, and the effect has already been seen.

If you stop the drug hastily and miss the opportunity of treatment, it will be too late to regret.

"Does Khan Ama know about this?"

"Master has gone to find Grandpa Liang. I think the emperor will know after a while."

"Let's go to Qianqing Palace."

When she got there, even Concubine De was there, arguing with Kangxi verbally, almost quarreling.

"It's useful or not, I've been looking at it all day long, don't you know? After taking the quinine for a day, Brother Liu is much better. Si Gege saw it too! Niuniu came just in time, hurry up and help Empress De and the emperor." Say it!"

Hai Feng knelt down and said neither good nor bad.

"Khan Ama, please allow me to ask the elder brother of the prince to take me out of the palace to visit the White Pagoda Temple, and ask the doctor personally, where did he get the confidence to say that quinine is not good for dysentery?"

"Aren't you afraid? Prince An said that there are not only eunuchs suffering from dysentery, but also those suffering from wind-cold and sores. I also used this incident to know that it is so difficult for the people to see a doctor."

"I've had smallpox, and that's all. Don't be afraid. I found quinine for my younger brother. If it hurts him instead, wouldn't it be a crime?"

Concubine De hugged Haifeng and said she would not do anything about her, Kangxi frowned and thought for a long time, and asked Liang Jiugong to go to Yuqing Palace to call the prince over.

"It's good to ask him to go there. He knows the sufferings of the people. As for you, I don't force you. If you are afraid of the filth there, you can sit in the clean inner room and ask the prince to help you with the question."

Haifeng asked Zhang Shun to think of a way, get some pastries from the kitchen of Qianqing Palace to fill his stomach, forcefully pour a large cup of milk tea, and get into the carriage in advance to wait for the prince.

Ah Xiang and Shu Tai rarely came out of the palace, they were very excited, and praised Hai Feng in the car.

"Why isn't Gege an elder brother? You said so loudly in front of the emperor just now that you are not afraid. The servants are listening outside, so you can cheer up."

Hearing what they said, Hai Feng suddenly realized.

I don't know when it started, but her courage was sharpened.

Now, she is a real, royal princess.
