Border Cook

As the sun sets, the high fever condition is the same as when you wake up in the morning, and it may even feel hotter than when you wake up in the morning.

Yin Lingyou was invited again.

After another careful examination, Yin Lingyou frowned.

There was nothing wrong with the prescription he wrote, it was targeted and even the dosage of the medicine was well controlled. Logically speaking, even if Xia Mingyue's condition relapsed, she would not have such a high fever again.

The current situation is entirely due to Xia Mingyue's excessive work and physical weakness since the New Year, so when the disease came fiercely, she had no ability to resist at all.

It seems that even after he recovers from the illness this time, he will still need to be nursed back to health for a while.

Yin Lingyou thought about it and adjusted the prescription, appropriately increasing the dosage to avoid other discomforts caused by frequent high fever and physical weakness.

But right now, we need to reduce the fever first.

He asked Zhuang Cui and others to continue cooling down Xia Mingyue according to the method used in the morning, while Yin Lingyou personally watched the stove and boiled medicine for Xia Mingyue.

It was a very hot day, and even in the shade, Yin Lingyou, who was guarding the charcoal stove, was still sweating profusely. He fanned the fire with a cattail leaf fan, and from time to time he also fanned himself to bring a little coolness.

Fan Jinglan walked in from outside and put everything in her hand in front of Yin Lingyou.

"What is this?" Yin Lingyou was surprised when he saw the pile of various brocade boxes on the ground.

"Medicinal herbs." Fan Jinglan wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. "Doctor Yin, take a look. Which ones can be used?"

Medicinal materials?

Yin Lingyou immediately became interested and opened the brocade boxes one by one.

Small but good quality ginseng, decent size and medium quality ganoderma lucidum, processed placenta, sliced ​​antler, and fairly clean bird's nest...

"What are you buying these for?" Yin Lingyou was puzzled.

"To treat Madam Xia." Fan Jinglan answered without hesitation, "Madam Xia must be ill because of poor health. I have asked around, and these are all tonic herbs. They will definitely cure Madam Xia's illness."

"I wanted to find some better medicine, but even if I ran all over Changzhou City, I could only find these. I can only buy these first and ask Doctor Yin to take a look and see how to use them as medicine."

Yin Lingyou, "..."

As expected, Madam Fan is a rich person, she spent so many expensive medicinal herbs!

However, this is not how you spend money, and this is not how you use expensive medicinal herbs.

After a brief silence, Yin Lingyou looked at Fan Jinglan, "Madam Fan, why do you think these medicines can cure Madam Xia's illness?"

"I've seen many ladies in the capital use these precious herbs as medicine when treating illnesses, saying that they are more effective."

Fan Jinglan said, "Although I don't understand pharmacology, I often hear people say that nourishing foods are very good for the body. I heard that the current empress dowager was in poor health, so she drank ginseng soup every day, which is why she lived such a long and blessed life..."

"That's just nonsense from those bastard doctors!" Yin Lingyou almost blew his beard and glared, "They just used some expensive medicinal materials to reassure those powerful people! It has little practical effect!"

This way, the powerful and wealthy will feel that it is in line with their status, and it will also make the doctor appear more high-end, unlike the folk prescriptions prescribed by those barefoot doctors.

It's all a lie!

Furthermore, there are many tributes in the palace. If we don’t use these things, how can we consume so many things?
A bunch of old foxes!
what?
Fan Jinglan was stunned where she stood.

After many days of contact with Yin Lingyou, Fan Jinglan already knew that this man had superb medical skills, and knew that if he said it was of no great use, then it really was of little use. But this overturned Fan Jinglan's cognition, and she was full of disbelief, "The Queen Mother's ginseng soup..."

"If it is just for daily maintenance, ginseng soup is indeed effective, but you can't blindly take it as a tonic, otherwise it will not only be useless to the body, but will also be a huge burden on the body."

Yin Lingyou said, "Overall, it depends on the person's physical constitution and pulse condition. It varies from person to person and cannot be generalized."

"That makes a lot of sense." Fan Jinglan nodded. "Doctor Yin, when you have time, can you come with me to the capital to see the empress dowager and see if you can properly treat her?"

The Queen Mother had taken care of her for many years and loved her immensely, and Fan Jinglan was always concerned about her health.

As for Yin Lingyou, after having been in contact with Fan Jinglan for many days, although she did not say it explicitly, Yin Lingyou guessed her identity and was not surprised by what she said.

But, going to the capital...

Absolutely not!

Yin Lingyou waved his hands hastily, "I'm just a traveling doctor. I know a few folk prescriptions. I can treat headaches and fevers, but I can't do anything else, let alone go to the palace to see the empress dowager. I'm timid and I'm afraid that if I get to the capital, my legs will go weak!"

"Ms. Fan, please don't joke with me like this again, and don't flatter me. I can't stand it. If you say a few more words, I'm afraid I'll break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it now!"

Doctor Yin...is he timid?

Fan Jinglan looked Yin Lingyou up and down with a suspicious look.

His whole body clearly exudes the spirit of being invincible in the world!
Such a person says he is afraid of entering the capital and meeting the powerful?

The only reason was that Doctor Yin didn't like the capital city or the powerful royal family, so he just made up a reason to prevaricate.

Fan Jinglan often listened to books and watched plays. She knew that talented people often had strong personalities, did not like to curry favor with others, and hated being bound by rules.

I guess it's the same for Doctor Yin?

Since Doctor Yin was unwilling, she couldn't force him to do so. However, it was a pity that she couldn't see the empress dowager.

Fan Jinglan let out a breath, her eyes fell on the medicinal herbs on the ground, and she picked them up one by one for future use.

Seeing Fan Jinglan leave, Yin Lingyou also breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on decocting medicine for Xia Mingyue.

When the medicine juice became thick, Yin Lingyou filtered out the residue and handed the bowl of medicine to Zhuang Cui.

Zhuang Cui hurriedly woke up Xia Mingyue, who was drowsy due to high fever, and fed her medicine while it was still hot.

Xia Mingyue was woken up in a daze, and drank a bowl of extremely bitter medicine in a daze, then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

I don’t know if it was because my stomach felt uncomfortable after drinking the medicine soup, or because the fever had reached a certain level, but my head started to hurt again as if it was splitting open.

In short, the severe physical discomfort caused Xia Mingyue to have a nightmare again.

It was as if she was in a sea of ​​fire, with burning pain all over her body. In the distance there seemed to be the sound of a spring. She tried desperately to rush over and use the water from the spring to relieve the heat and pain in her body, but no matter how she walked or ran, the spring was still out of reach.

I became more and more anxious, but my steps seemed to be filled with lead and I couldn't move forward no matter what.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her... (End of this chapter)
