Song Yi

Chapter 278
The Empress Dowager trusted Du Wenhao's medical skills very much. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded and said: "Oh, well, it's for the sake of Aijia, so Aijia will give it a try."

Du Wenhao had accurately grasped the root cause of the empress dowager's illness, so he couldn't make mistakes.After that, the empress dowager followed Du Wenhao's instructions and took the medicine prescribed by Du Wenhao. From then on, she recovered from abdominal pain and illness. In addition to Du Wenhao's recuperation, she was pure and ascetic, so she no longer took cold showers to relieve her anger.This is something to say later, don't mention it if you press it.

Du Wenhao was talking with the empress dowager when the eldest princess came.

When he returned to the palace and saw the eldest princess again, Du Wenhao was a little nervous when he remembered the two sleeping together in the snow cave.

When the eldest princess saw Du Wenhao, she said happily: "I have been looking for you everywhere, I heard that you came to the queen mother, and I searched all the way, and you are here. Great!"

Du Wenhao hurriedly said respectfully: "I don't know what is the eldest princess's order for this minister?"

"Okay, okay! Here with my mother, you don't pretend to be gentle. It's awkward!"

"Hehe, Eldest Princess, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well, that's right, - of course I have something to do with you, I have nothing to do with you. Why does this sound so awkward, forget it, I am looking for you because of my illness. - I have been having a fever these days , help me find out what's going on?"

When the empress dowager heard that her daughter was ill, she asked with concern: "Did it snow a lot these days, did you wear too little clothes, and got cold?"

The eldest princess laughed secretly, if the queen mother knew that she had fallen into the icy lake and almost drowned, and was almost frozen to death in a snowstorm, I don't know what to worry about, she waved her hand and said: "Mother, don't worry, I'm hot , there is nothing wrong with it. ——Hey, I want you to see a doctor for me, hurry up and see a doctor." The eldest princess glared at Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao laughed twice and asked, "Do you have a cold, runny nose, cough, sore throat, or headache?"

"Not at all, just a fever! Feel it yourself if you don't believe me!" The eldest princess reached out and grabbed Du Wenhao's hand and placed it on her forehead.

The empress dowager looked at her daughter lovingly. Ever since her son-in-law's family was ransacked and beheaded for collaborating with the enemy, she had never seen her daughter talking so happily, but ever since her daughter took Du Wenhao out hunting for a few days and came back, it seemed like a different person. , I am much more cheerful, and I also like to joke.Now even though he is sick, he still speaks and moves with ease, which is naturally due to the ease in his heart.The empress dowager couldn't help being very happy.

When Du Wenhao probed, he really felt that the eldest princess's forehead was hot, and he couldn't help but frowned: "Since it is a fever, but there are no external symptoms, it means that it is not a superficial syndrome. Since it is not a superficial syndrome, how can it continue to have a fever?—— How many days have you had a fever?"

"I started to have a fever last time in the small mountain village. At first I thought it was the unhealed wind and cold. Later, the wind and cold were cured by you, but the fever has not subsided..."

The empress dowager became nervous again: "What? Did you catch a cold when you went hunting this time? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Mom! Don't worry, I'll be fine long ago. He prescribed medicine for me, and I'll be fine after just two or three doses."

The empress dowager complained: "You child! You have no rules in your speech, what's he, call him Master Du!"

"Oh, Master Du!" The eldest princess smiled and looked at Du Wenhao, "He is two years younger than me. He is obviously a child, so what kind of adult is he?"

The empress dowager scolded: "It's getting more and more unruly!" She smiled apologetically at Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "It's okay! It's still good for the eldest princess, it's not a formal occasion, it's better to be casual." Turning to look at the eldest princess, he said: "Listen to what the eldest princess said just now, the voice is not hoarse, by the way, How about your meal and lunch?"

The eldest princess gave him a blank look: "Hey! Put the meal and the two together and ask, are you disgusting? Can you ask separately in the future?

"Sorry! I'm used to it."

"Of course you are used to it. As a medical student, how many taboos do these things? But my mother and I are not, so we have to take care of us!"

"Hehe, yes, how about the eldest princess's food?"

"It's okay, I can eat and drink. It's normal to have a bowel movement...! It's all your fault, and I'll say it together!" the eldest princess stomped.

Du Wenhao smiled, "That's weird, it doesn't look like you're suffering from a cold, well, let me feel your pulse and look at your tongue."

"Ok!"

The eldest princess sat down on the master chair beside Du Wenhao, and put her hand on the tea table.Du Wenhao concentrated on raising his wrist to check the pulse, and said to himself: "The pulse is stringy and slow, the face is red, and the fever persists for several days. There are no symptoms of exogenous wind and cold such as aversion to cold, cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion. It shouldn't be a cold..."

The eldest princess interjected: "Of course not, because I took the medicine you prescribed for me for several days. If it was, it should have been cured long ago. Besides, the previous symptoms such as aversion to cold and cough have been cured after taking the medicine. Your medicine is on the mend, why is it that only the fever has not gone away?"

Du Wenhao nodded again and again, pondered for a moment, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "That's right, that must be it!"

"What? Have you found the reason?"

"Well, the reason..." Du Wenhao glanced at the empress dowager, coughed lightly, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I'll prescribe you a prescription, and you can take it according to the medicine you choose. I'll take care of it!"

"Yeah?" The eldest princess also glanced at the empress dowager, and nodded if she realized something, "Okay then, hurry up and prescribe."

Du Wenhao wrote a prescription, which was the addition and subtraction of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, and handed it to the eldest princess.The eldest princess took it, handed it over to the maid who came with her, and hurriedly sent it to the Royal Medicine Academy to decoct the medicine according to the prescription.

The empress dowager saw them playing charades, and said angrily, "You two..., alas! I don't want to bother you!"

The eldest princess grinned, made a grimace, and said to the empress dowager: "Mother, I went to the empress dowager's place earlier, and she said that she regretted sending Chen Meiren's coquettish fox to the cold palace, which caused the emperor to worry about it. Knowing that she should be killed, queen mother, what do you think?"

The empress dowager glanced at her sideways: "What do you care about these things?"

"Sister-in-law Huang feels aggrieved. Thinking about being bullied by her for more than ten years, she doesn't get angry. Before I got married, I didn't like Chen Meiren's virtue. Now I heard from sister-in-law that she killed such a Many people also think that this woman deserves to die, and they can't let her live like this to take advantage of her. Otherwise, one day, Brother Huang might change his mind and forgive her sins. At that time, she will turn around and punish us, I'm afraid she will never show mercy. "

The empress dowager sighed: "So what? You can't go and kill her now, can you? The empress dowager has already decided to put her in the cold palace, so I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to kill her again."

"You guys, I was afraid of jackals and tigers later. I went to find the Empress Dowager just now. She also meant the same thing. I was wondering, what's wrong with this!"

"What do you know! The Empress Dowager has her own opinion!"

The eldest princess snorted, and said quite proudly: "Mother, I have already heard the empress dowager's tone, saying that it would be fine if Chen Meiren committed suicide suddenly. The empress dowager also hopes that this vixen will soon Die clean to avoid future troubles!"

"Suicide? I heard that although she was very ill and desperate, she did not commit suicide."

"That's not necessarily the case. Some people die in a good way. No one knows how. Who can guarantee that Chen Meiren will live so long? Maybe, she couldn't figure it out that day, so she hung herself with a rope Dead, that's not sure."

The empress dowager sighed again: "Forget it! I heard that your sister-in-law blinded her in one eye, tore off most of her hair, and broke several ribs. She is still seriously ill now, and her life is over. It’s been halfway, so just let her go.”

"Mother! You are a good person!" The eldest princess gave Du Wenhao a sideways glance with a half-smile, and pointed with her fingers, "Just like him!"

Du Wenhao had been listening quietly, and when he heard the latter sentence, he smiled sarcastically.

After chatting for a while, Du Wenhao said goodbye and left the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

He walked forward, and the eldest princess followed behind, pulled him aside at the door, and asked in a low voice: "Hey! I have been feverish all this time, what's going on? See you just looked at my mother and hesitated, Why don't you let the queen mother know the reason?"

"Of course not!" Du Wenhao looked left and right, and smiled furtively, "You want to tell her about you falling into the frozen lake? By the way, let me tell you about how I helped you change your clothes?"

"Damn you!" The eldest princess remembered that at the lakeside, Du Wenhao stripped himself completely naked, wiped off the water and put on his clothes again, feeling ashamed and ashamed at once, reaching out to pinch him, Du Wenhao had already Anticipating this move, he used all his muscles and bones, grabbed her hands and pressed them down, and said in a low voice: "The eldest princess! This is the palace, not the snow cave in the ravine! Be careful not to be seen, you are the eldest princess." It’s nothing, I can’t keep my head steady!”

The eldest princess gave him a blank look, and shook off his hand: "Are you scared? Don't do it in the first place!"

"Why don't you do it? My eldest princess aunt, your kindness is not rewarded! It's the same as what you sang in the flower!" He sang in an accent, imitating the eldest princess's female voice, "—'Today's people, you should be careful , such a kindness should be repaid with revenge!' You are a living example of repaying revenge with kindness!"

"Hee hee hee, what's the matter? I will repay my kindness! You bite me!" The eldest princess stretched out her hand to pinch him again.

Du Wenhao grabbed her hand again, and said in a low voice: "If you force me again, I will really bite you!"

"Bah!" The eldest princess spat lightly with a pretty face like a red pomegranate, looked around and looked at no one, and said in a low voice with a half-smile: "Back then when we were on the mountain, it was just the two of us in the snow cave. Dare, why, you became more courageous when you arrived in the palace?"

Du Wenhao didn't dare to tease her any more, so he quickly coughed seriously: "Eldest Princess, your persistent fever is because you were injured when you fell off the boulder by the lake, and there was blood in your body. Blood stagnation in the meridian leads to fever, so the exogenous typhoid medicine I prescribed to you earlier cured your other syndromes, but this strong fever has not been cured, because it is not the right syndrome."

The eldest princess wondered: "Can blood congestion in the body cause fever?"

"Yes, the fever caused by congestion in the body is similar to the fever caused by carbuncle on the surface of the body. The blood stasis stagnates in the meridian tunnels, causing blood stagnation and obstruction, so fever. The Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction I prescribed for you is to expel blood. By removing blood stasis, the heat will subside naturally."

"Oh, the way of medicine is really complicated. The same fever has different causes, and the treatment is different. Hey! Fortunately, I didn't study medicine. Otherwise, I might not remember so much if my brain is broken."

"Yeah, studying medicine is very hard. Well, princess, I'm going to see if the emperor is up. If the emperor discusses politics today, I have to wait."

"Go! I'm leaving too. I have to start preparing for the matter I promised to the emperor's sister-in-law." Say it, turn around and walk away.

Du Wenhao looked at her pretty back, thoughtfully, finally shook his head, and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.I am going to ask Eunuch Ning to see what the emperor's arrangements are.

He was walking through the imperial garden when suddenly an old woman came out from among the flowers and knelt down and kowtowed.Du Wenhao was taken aback, thinking why these palace maids and eunuch servants like to hide among the flowers, suddenly come out to stop him, is it difficult to be a servant sent by a concubine who is inconvenient to call him to serve as a doctor?
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Chen Meiren's relative, the mother-in-law Chen who was granted by the Empress Dowager to take care of Chen Meiren who had been thrown into the cold palace.

Chen Po kowtowed and said, "Master Du, please, please save my mother again!"

Du Wenhao's head felt dizzy: "Did the medicine last time not work?"

"It's effective. The medicine prescribed by Mr. Du is very effective. The external injury of the empress is much better, but the internal injury of the broken rib has not healed, and the disease is getting worse. Please ask Mr. Du to save her again."

Du Wenhao sighed, let's save people to the end, and asked about the symptoms in detail, Grandma Chen had a pen and paper, so she picked up a pen and wrote a prescription for her, and took the medicine according to the prescription.

Granny Chen was about to leave, when Du Wenhao suddenly remembered what the Eldest Princess said earlier, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "How is your empress feeling recently?"

Chen Po bowed and said: "Thanks to you, it's all your medicine that works. The empress is much more conscious, but she just cries all day long."

"Whoever it is, will go crazy after this catastrophe." Du Wenhao looked around and lowered his voice: "Actually, going crazy is not a bad thing sometimes, and no one would be wary of a lunatic, so, Sometimes crazy people live longer than normal people!"

Grandma Chen stared blankly at Du Wenhao, if she realized something, she immediately looked desolate, her knees softened, she knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I understand now...! This old slave thank you for your life!"

Du Wenhao said in a low voice: "At the beginning, I owed your mother a punishment, so I should pay her back."

"Yes, the old slave will tell the empress when I go back."

Du Wenhao nodded.Seeing that her clothes were thin, she couldn't bear it, so she took out a bank note from her sleeve and stuffed it into Granny Chen's hand.

Chen Po was taken aback, and said with a choked voice: "Master Du, we can't ask for your money, you have been very helpful."

"Money can turn ghosts around. It's always good to have some money. Your mother's money is all confiscated. You have to save some money just in case. At least you can buy some clothes for your mother and yourself. When you are sick, you must learn Take good care of yourself."

Granny Chen wept, kowtowed and took it, carefully putting it into her arms.Lifting his sleeves to wipe away the two lines of dirty tears, he said sadly: "It's not that we don't want to buy these clothes, but that I can't bring these things into the palace at all, and they were taken away by the guards at the gate of the palace, alas ..., I should have known back then that the old slave would have persuaded the empress not to do such unreasonable things, retribution, retribution, it is God who is punishing us."

Du Wenhao didn't expect that the guards of the palace would also make trouble and bully the two weak women who were already helpless. Du Wenhao sighed: "Okay, then you go back first, and I will talk to the guards when I have time."

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Lord Du, please don't. Yesterday, I heard from a maid in Longyou Palace that their mother has been guarding our side very strictly recently. Don't say any more, so as not to hurt you. As for my family Empress..., alas, I can only resign myself to fate, I hope God will see that she has repented and realized her mistake, and spare her life."

The snow was not cold enough to turn the snow into cold, a gust of cold wind blew up and slipped up from under the skirt of his clothes. Du Wenhao was already very warmly dressed, but he couldn't help shivering. Looking at Mrs. Chen, who was wearing thin clothes, she was already freezing cold. The lips are dark purple.

"Forget it, you go back and take care of your mother, other things... let's talk about it."

After Mrs. Chen left, Du Wenhao found Eunuch Ning, who was beside the emperor, and learned that the emperor slept very late the first night, so he hadn't gotten up yet.There is no arrangement for discussing politics on this day, so he doesn't have to follow the doctor.

Du Wenhao was happy to be free, so he took a sedan chair back to Wuweitang.

He has been hunting with the eldest princess outside for the past few days. There are many difficult medical cases accumulated in Wuweitang these days.

These patients all left their contact addresses. After hearing that Du Wenhao had a free day to sit in the clinic, Yan Miaoshou immediately sent someone to call all the difficult patients. Du Wenhao asked Yan Miaoshou, Hantou, Pang Yuqin and Xue Feier to observe together Self-diagnosis to improve medical skills.After a busy day, all the diagnosis and treatment were not completed until evening when the lamps were lit.

After closing the pharmacy and having dinner, Du Wenhao came to the bamboo forest in the back garden.

Every day at this time, Lin Qingdai usually practices in the bamboo forest in the back house of Wuweitang, accompanied by Yingzi, and where there is Yingzi, naturally there is that little tiger cub Xiaoke.

After a few months, Xiao Ke has grown up quite a bit, and she can hug Du Wenhao's waist when she stands up. Probably because she has been a vegetarian, Du Wenhao always feels that there is a murderous look between the brows of this little thing, or It is domineering.I have always wanted to let the tiger go back to the mountain, except that the wild nature of the tiger has not been cultivated, the main reason is that Yingzi is reluctant.

Yingzi usually has a clear distinction between master and servant, and dare not disobey Du Wenhao's words, but she is very stubborn about Xiao Ke's matter, as long as she wants to send the little tiger cub back to the mountain, she will run away with the little tiger cub.

After all, it's been a long time, from a kitten-like thing waiting to be fed to the fierce tiger that is now walking every step of the way, anyone who wants to say that he has no feelings is lying.

At this moment, Xiao Ke was lying on the straw on one side with piercing eyes. Seeing that Du Wenhao came forward, he only shook his whip-like tail, but did not get up.

Du Wenhao saw that Lin Qingdai was wearing a short dress in clear ink with a white belt tied around her waist, showing a dashing and heroic appearance.She had just finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, her face was flushed and rosy, and it was heart-warming to look at.

Seeing Du Wenhao approaching, Lin Qingdai beamed with joy and asked, "Wen Hao, why are you here?"

Du Wenhao smiled: "I'm here to talk to my sister."

Lin Qingdai glanced at her: "I don't think so, you seem to have something on your mind."

"Sister is so smart!" Du Wenhao smiled, walked to Xiao Ke's side, and was about to sit down on the stone bench.

"Don't sit there! Your illness is just right, don't catch a cold again. It's very cold in the woods. Anyway, I've finished my practice. Let's go back to the house and talk. In the morning, Qin'er brought some sour jujube cakes and mung bean cakes. I will cook them. Some plum wine, ask someone to prepare some appetizers for you, what do you think?"

Du Wenhao suddenly regained his energy, and patted Xiao Ke's firm and flexible butt. Everyone said that a tiger's butt cannot be touched. In Xiao Ke's place, Du Wenhao can still touch it at will. This is also a kind of vanity satisfaction: " Well, it is a good thing to have wine to drink, this kind of weather is exactly the time to drink, stove fire, water, wine, delicacies, and sister Qingdai, a beauty, to accompany you, to rub your ears and temples..."

When Du Wenhao thought of wine, he became a little carried away, but when he saw Lin Qingdai's pretty red face, she quickly shut up and pretended to be intimate with Xiao Ke, but he felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Qingdai changed the subject: "You've been busy recently, and you have to take care of Qin'er. I think she's not looking very good recently. When she brought me cakes this morning, she said that her stomach hurts. You can't ignore it. She is pregnant. with the baby."

Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "She told me just now that she ate too much sour jujube cake yesterday, and she felt a little upset in her stomach. I showed it to her, and it's okay. Hehe, when it comes to this, my sister is worse than me." Nervous."

The two walked slowly out of the bamboo forest, and Yingzi and Xiao Ke followed behind them slowly.Lin Qingdai said: "Why am I not nervous, I want to be an aunt too."

"Auntie, you can't do it anymore. When your filial piety is over, you will be the child's aunt." Du Wenhao teased.

Lin Qingdai's pretty face flushed, and she gave him a blank look: "It seems that you are not serious!"

"Then I'm going to be serious now?" Du Wenhao made a gesture to kiss her.

"You're crazy!" Lin Qingdai said angrily, "Yingzi is behind!"

Back in the yard, Lin Qingdai asked Du Wenhao to sit in her room first, then told Yingzi to go to the kitchen to prepare appetizers, and went to fetch plum wine herself.

Du Wenhao stood on the porch watching the guys busy.The sun is good today, the guys are all taking out the medicine to dry, and the guys in the garden are busy collecting the medicine.

After watching for a while, Du Wenhao opened the door and entered Lin Qingdai's room.Having not been here for a long time, Du Wenhao found that Lin Qingdai's room had a lot of rattan sticks on the ground, as if she was about to weave something.Du Wenhao sat alone and was bored, and then came out and stood on the porch to watch the guys talking and laughing as they collected medicine in the yard.

"Why are you standing outside the door? Are there wolves or tigers in my house?" Lin Qingdai joked when she came back with a small jar of plum wine and saw Du Wenhao standing at the door.

"Why did my sister put so many canes in the room?"

After entering the room, Du Wenhao sat down on the soft couch by the window.A pot of narcissus in front of the window is blooming very well, and the faint floral fragrance is very pleasant.
