Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 40 Rhubarb
When Cheng Hanbai heard that his sister was asked to see a doctor, he immediately became furious: My sister is not a doctor, so why should she come to see your mother?He was about to refuse, but Haitang quietly pulled him.

Haitang smiled and said, "My little girl doesn't recognize the wife or the young lady from the Yushi Mansion in Youdu. They must have heard the rumors somewhere and passed it on to my wife by word of mouth. Although my little girl has only learned some superficial medical skills, she is not very clever. Since Now that we're here, I'm willing to do my best to check on the old lady's condition and say a few words."

Mrs. Yushi nodded, took Haitang's hand, and walked to the green gauze cabinet next to the main room.In order to facilitate medical treatment, the old lady has been carried here.Han Bai was a foreigner, so he stayed in the main hall with Sun Yushi to wait.

The two of them were each feeling uneasy when they suddenly heard a report from a servant: King Xian has arrived!Prince De and the Crown Prince have arrived!

Mr. Sun was startled and hurried out to greet him: "I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Xian and His Highness the Crown Prince were arriving, but I was not far away to greet them!"

Han Bai also followed suit and saluted.The prince glanced at him and wanted to communicate the situation with his eyes, but Han Bai was confused and showed no reaction at all.

"Master Sun," King Xian said with a smile, "Your Majesty and I came here uninvited today because we want to admire your collection of wine bottles. Is it convenient?"

"It's convenient and convenient," Mr. Sun understood. "It's a great honor that King Xian and the Crown Prince like this little hobby of a humble minister!"

The prince pretended that he had just seen Cheng Hanbai: "Huh? General Cheng is here too? Are you also here to see the prince's collection?"

Han Bai hurriedly replied: "That's not the case. Mrs. Sun is not well. Your sister is visiting the house. Weichen is accompanying her."

"Oh?" King Xian also looked at Han Bai. He didn't know Cheng Hanbai: "Are you the son of General Cheng Yu's family? I've heard of your reputation as a young man for a long time, and today I meet you in Lord Sun's house. It's really a fate." The voice just said. When he got off, he saw Madam Yushi leading Haitang and the two imperial doctors out.

It turned out that after Haitang followed Mrs. Yushi in, she saw two doctors standing inside. Mrs. Yushi hurriedly introduced: "These two are the imperial doctors of the palace. The old lady's illness has been lingering for almost a month. Not only has her condition not improved, The old lady is getting weaker and weaker, and her oil is running out! That’s why I invited you here today.”

The two imperial doctors are a little frustrated. Even if you want to ask others to see the old lady's illness, you don't need to ask a yellow-haired girl to disgust us!

Haitang came to the old lady's bed, first carefully examined the old lady's face, then sat down and took her pulse carefully.After a while, Haitang stood up and made a gesture to Mrs. Censor to invite someone outside to speak.The two imperial doctors also followed.

These two imperial physicians knew King Xian well. When they came out and saw King Xian and others, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute King Xian and the Crown Prince.

"No courtesy. Is Mrs. Sun's condition seriously serious?" King Xian simply sat down and asked.

One of the doctors, Dr. Li, returned: "Your Highness, Madam Sun is suffering from anorexia. She is unable to eat normally for a month. She smells bad food and finds it difficult to swallow. We still need to find a solution now. Let the old lady eat as much as she can, and the disease will naturally be cured." Another doctor, Dr. Wang, also nodded in agreement.

"Miss Cheng, what do you think?" Mrs. Yu Shi had already known the imperial doctor's conclusion, and she was anxious to hear Cheng Haitang's different opinions.Unexpectedly, Cheng Haitang also nodded and said: "I agree with the diagnosis of the two imperial doctors. It is indeed an eating disorder." As soon as these words came out, Sun Yushi couldn't help but look a little disappointed.

Then she heard Haitang say: "This disease can be cured, and all it takes is one medicine." Seeing the pen and ink on the table, she walked over and wrote down the prescription. As expected, there was only one medicine: rhubarb.

The two imperial doctors looked at each other, Rhubarb!This girl is not here to see a doctor, but to take a life, right?The old lady has not been able to eat normally for a month. Although she is normal in other aspects, she has been without food for a long time and has become very haggard.

Rhubarb is the medicine of tigers and wolves!

Dr. Wang shook his head and explained to Xian Wang and the others: "There is a saying in Chinese medicine: rhubarb has no merit in saving people, and ginseng has no fault in killing people. Rhubarb is one of the four kings of traditional Chinese medicine. It is nicknamed 'General' and is known as the fierce Zhang Fei." The old lady can't eat and her body is weak. She just needs to take supplements, so how can she dare to fight against diarrhea? The girl is still too young!"

The prince tentatively reminded Haitang: "In addition to this medicine, does the girl need anything else?"

"This taste is enough," Haitang shook her head and said affirmatively: "Only by cleansing the intestines and cleansing the stomach can the old lady bring out the old and bring out the new, and restore its own gastrointestinal function. That is to say, risk death before rebirth. Just now I felt the pulse of the old lady, Her pulse is strong and she can fully withstand the power of rhubarb."

She looked at Sun Yushi and added: "Although rhubarb is very powerful, it is not uncontrollable as long as you know the dosage."

"No, no, no!" Doctor Wang shook his head repeatedly.Imperial doctors have been treating and consulting the royal family for a long time. They know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. They usually prescribe tepid medicines and will never take the risk of using extreme and powerful medicines such as rhubarb.

For some reason, when the prince saw Haitang's confident eyes, he remembered her decisiveness and courage when she took the ox-hair needle for himself.

The Crown Prince looked at Sun Yushi and said: "Master Sun, since you have invited Miss Cheng here, please trust her medical skills. I know that Miss Cheng can cure internal injuries caused by damage to the meridians and loss of internal strength."

Master Sun hesitated for a moment, but Mrs. Sun seemed to have made up her mind: "If we don't try, we have no way out. The old lady just needs to stay a few more days. Since the prince said so, let's give it a try!"

So he asked someone to get the prescription and cook it.

When King Xian met Cheng Haitang for the first time, he thought she was fair-skinned, beautiful, well-proportioned, and a little more agile and lively than other noble ladies from Kyoto.Coupled with Haitang's confidence and determination during her dialectic just now, it further showed her extraordinary magnanimity that she naturally showed.

King Xian asked Haitang this and that in great interest, and Haitang gave simple answers one by one.But the prince next to him looked at him with cold eyes and a face as frosty as ice!
Han Bai: Believe it or not, I will put you in a sack when I get out and beat you up!
Prince: I'll make a sack!
Finally, the girl came in with a bowl of rhubarb soup. Haitang took the medicine bowl and went into the back room to feed the old lady to drink without saying much.
