I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 58 Stewed indiscriminately
Seeing Liu Ju's reaction, Yi Shuo thought that he was not in a good state at the moment and could not understand what he meant.

Then he tried to hold on weakly and said:

"The herbs I brought with me on this trip are... in the carriage behind. If Your Highness needs any herbs, you can order someone to open the box and take them..."

"..."

Liu Ju became even more depressed after hearing this.

He just managed to memorize a prescription. He knew nothing about medicinal materials, but he was definitely completely in the dark.

Therefore, even if someone really put Chaihu in front of him, he would not be able to recognize it.

However, in his impression, Bupleurum chinense does not seem to be an alien species, and it is widely distributed throughout the country, at least in North China and Northwest China, and it is often found in many ancient medical books.

Therefore, it is very likely that this thing does exist, but it is called differently from the name in later generations.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ju suddenly had an idea:
"Doctor Yi, I'm a little blind to the appearance of medicinal herbs. How about I tell you some of their characteristics, and then have someone bring a few medicine boxes over so you can help me identify them."

"Face blindness?"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

The word "face blindness" was too far-fetched for them, but combined with the following words, they still understood what Liu Ju meant.

Liu Ju was ready to treat Yi Shuo and prescribe medicine...but he couldn't even identify the medicinal ingredients?!

"Nonsense! What on earth am I doing, to be so foolish as to follow him?"

When Huo Guang heard this, he almost couldn't help but let down the curtain of the carriage, forcibly interrupting the conversation between Liu Ju and Yi Shuo.

Just now, Liu Ju resorted to street rogue tactics to save Yi Shuo, and before that, he had said that he "may know a thing or two" about medical skills, and he almost believed it!
Although he also knew nothing about the art of medicine, he knew that identifying medicinal materials was the foundation of the art of medicine. Most apprentices of the art of medicine started with medicinal materials...

"?"

Yi Shuo couldn't hold on any longer and fell down with a thud.

She felt stupid for trying to deceive herself.

Looking back, this was probably due to the desire to survive, which led to unrealistic wishes. How could I have actually thought for a moment that Liu Ju knew some medical skills?

"Quick, quick, quick, go get some people to bring over the medicine box that Doctor Yi brought with him so that he can identify the herbs."

Liu Ju didn't care about it. He just thought Yi Shuo nodded again and immediately spoke to the people accompanying him.

"..."

Everyone felt helpless, but due to Liu Ju's status, they had no choice but to do as he asked.

After a while.

The three large boxes were all lifted to the front of the carriage, and the lids had been opened, revealing many small wooden boxes similar to drawers.

The names of various medicinal herbs are also engraved on the small wooden box, so you can find the required herbs without having to distinguish them.

Unfortunately... there is no "Bupleurum" mentioned by Liu Ju.

Liu Ju did not give up. He stretched his neck and said to Yi Shuo:
"Doctor Yi, listen to me. The herb I'm talking about is the rhizome of a plant. It should be a herb that has the effect of dispelling exterior pathogens."

"It has some effect on alternating cold and heat. It should also be able to prevent and treat irregular menstruation, prolapse of the female uterus, and postpartum uterine anus shedding. Do you know what this herb is?"

After saying this, Liu Ju was slightly stunned, and inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu that he was playing a guessing game.

"..."

The people around were also stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.

The Han Dynasty had its own national conditions and etiquette. Although the social status of women in this era was not as repressed as that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, gynecological matters were still regarded as ominous and unclean.

Therefore, few people talk about such topics in public. Even couples and fathers and daughters are very secretive about it. To exaggerate, many men have never seen menstrual blood in their entire lives and don't even know what menstruation is.

As a result, Liu Ju talked about menstruation, female uterus and the vagina all the time.

This really made them feel a little at a loss, and they felt that they had heard something they shouldn't have heard...

Moreover, what is imbalance, what is prolapse, what is falling off, are these things that a prince should understand?

However, Liu Ju's words immediately gave Yi Shuo some extremely important hints!

As a female doctor, and in recent years mainly in charge of the royal harem, gynecology is the specialty she is most proficient in. But for some reason, after hearing these words, Yi Shuo felt that she began to sweat again.

However, no one here knew better than her that it was not advisable to hide one's illness and avoid medical treatment. After a slight hesitation, she still uttered a hoarse voice:
"The medicinal herb that Your Highness is talking about... must be Rucao, right? Only... only Rucao is the most suitable?"

"That's Rukusa!"

Liu Ju naturally believed in the judgment of Yi Shuo, the female Bian Que, and immediately said,

"And Scutellaria baicalensis. Is there a herb called Scutellaria baicalensis among the herbs that Doctor Yi brought?"

"..."

Yi Shuo shook his head helplessly again.

"This is also the rhizome of a plant. It can relieve internal heat and stop bleeding. Oh, and it also has some effect on treating fetal movement disorders..."

"The medicinal material your highness is talking about is most likely rotten intestines."

"Then it's rotten intestines. Come on, come on, what are you guys still standing there for? Come over and help me find it! There's also ginseng..."

"And Pinellia..."

"And licorice..."

“And ginger…”

“And dates!”

……

Thanks to Yi Shuo's thorough knowledge of medicinal herbs and their properties, it only took a cup of tea to find all the herbs Liu Ju needed.

Everyone was sweating profusely at this moment, but not because of tiredness.

It was because Liu Ju always talked about gynecology, which was also an invisible pressure for them.

But at the same time, they had some faith in Liu Ju's "medical skills".

After all, if the other party knew nothing about the skills, it would be difficult for him to tell the diseases that the herbs were used to treat...but for some reason, the names of the herbs he mentioned were all wrong.

As a result, Liu Ju quickly gave them another wake-up call:
"Uh...I really can't remember."

"Forget it, forget it. Just pick up some of these herbs and boil them in a pot. Remember to put more bupleurum and less other herbs. After boiling, distribute them to the Yi doctors and people in the delegation who have similar symptoms to drink."

Although he knew that the prescription must follow the theory of main general and secondary general, as well as the principle of harmony and complementarity of yin and yang.

But I really can't remember the proportions of the herbs.

This thing, how much is yours and how much is his, is harder for Liu Ju to remember than English words.

So, let's give it a try.

"???"

Everyone couldn't help but sway again when they heard this.

They really had never seen medicine boiled so casually before. Do you think it's porridge?
It seems that the prince still doesn't understand medical skills.

Forget it, there is no other way now, just listen to the prince...

Anyway, these people are about to die, so let's just throw them together. If there is any problem, the prince will always take responsibility, so no one will feel the burden.

As a result, just when we were about to take action.

"Slow...slow down."

Yi Shuo's weak voice was heard from the carriage again, but every word was filled with a strong desire to survive.

"According to the characteristics and strengths of these herbs...if you insist on boiling them into a medicinal juice."

"It is advisable to use half a catty of Rucao... three liang of rotten intestines... three liang of Polygonatum sibiricum... four liang of water jade... three liang of roasted licorice... three liang of Dongjiang... and more than ten jujubes to make a decoction..."

"At least... at least it's harmless."
