Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 371 This Medicine Is Poisonous
In the front-line military tents, the soldiers who rushed all the way to Jinji Nashuang were covered in blood.

Those with sharp eyes could see that it was not the blood on his body, but the blood and sweat from the sweaty BMW.

It took a full seven days to go from south to north without sleep. If it weren't for the bloody horses, the other horses would have been exhausted.

The soldiers on horseback were also exhausted.

The soldiers in the army helped him down to rest, and sent the medicine to a tent next to the big tent.

There, Lu Zong and the other imperial physicians were looking forward to it for a long time.

"coming?"

"I'm coming!"

Soldiers came in carrying big wooden boxes, and Lu Zong almost wept with joy when he saw Jinji Nashuang written in Chinese characters on it.

This is exactly the same word as what Chen Wenxin said!
"Quick, quick, open the box and check!"

Inside the box are small square boxes wrapped in oiled paper, and when you open it, there are bottles of pills.

Lu Zong first opened the bottle, squeezed a tablet in his hand, and inspected it carefully.

The other imperial physicians followed suit, observing this magical medicine that was rumored to cure malaria, to see what it was made of.

But after smelling it, breaking it apart and crushing it, they couldn't find out what it was.

Lu Zong turned back and shouted loudly at the people below, "Quick, prepare a white porcelain bowl, clean water, oil lamp..."

Some medicines have to be tested in water, some medicines have to be tested with silver needles, and some medicines have to be tested after heating.

All the imperial physicians were in a hurry and tried all kinds of methods to detect the medicine, but in the end it was all in vain.

Some people shook their heads repeatedly, "I'm afraid the foreign devil's stuff won't work. What's in it? It doesn't smell like medicinal herbs, it's very pungent."

Physicians pay attention to seeing, smelling and inquiring, and the nose is the most sensitive. As soon as they smell the medicine, they feel something is wrong.

——They have never been exposed to Western medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this Cinchina cream is indeed ridiculous.

Someone echoed, "Yes, how dare people eat this thing? In my opinion..."

"Look, look, what to look at!"

Lu Zong waved his sleeves impatiently, "Don't make noise, just go out if you don't want to see."

Everyone was silent.

Lu Yuanju's temper is getting worse and worse, no matter how bad the emperor's illness is, I'm afraid they will be dealt with by Lu Zong before they are punished for a crime of incompetence.

Can I go out at this time?
What a joke, if they go out, wouldn't it appear that they are extremely careless towards the emperor?
Still have to wait, wait.

On the other side, Lu Zong melted the pills into clear water, crushed them gently with a small spoon, and did not notice anything unusual.

It's just that the water has become cloudy.

Smelling the smell closer, there is indeed no medicinal material.

Strange, why doesn't this medicine smell like medicinal herbs at all?

Waiting for the fire to slowly boil the water in the bowl, the taste in the air will be even more indescribable.

He scratched his head, puzzled.

This is not like medicine, can it really be given to people?

Especially the person who wants to take medicine is still the emperor...

"Not good, look!"

Someone suddenly shouted, "This medicine is poisonous!"

All the imperial doctors leaned their heads to look at it.

It turned out that an imperial physician inserted the silver needle into the water that the pills had turned into. After a while, he pulled it out and saw that the snow-white silver needle was slightly blue.

Lu Zong frowned, and everyone had already exploded.

"How can foreigners' bodies be the same as ours? They can eat poison, but we may not be able to!"

"Is this okay? It must be the foreign devils who covet my Daqing Guozuo, and want to poison the emperor to death!"

"That's right, what kind of Jinji Nashuang, wait for the soles of your shoes!"

Although Lu Zong didn't believe in Western medicine, he believed in Chen Wenxin. She must have a reason for telling the story about how Cinney Cinnamon cured malaria.

"Stop arguing!"

"Whether it can be cured, you will know if you try it!"

He asked the soldiers to bring the two sickest people and fed the pills to them.

The faces of the two were purple and stiff, and they didn't even have the strength to speak. Lu Zong looked at them with a frown, and all the imperial doctors subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

In their eyes, infectious diseases are all oral and nasal infections.

Seeing that the two soldiers had taken the medicine, Lu Zong said to the people who took care of them: "It's good to take care of them. I will check on them every two hours. If there is any accident, report it immediately."

The caretaker agreed, and was about to order someone to carry the two soldiers down when Lu Zong suddenly stopped him.

"Forget it, just put them in this tent, and I will take care of them personally."

He really couldn't wait any longer, he had to see with his own eyes whether the medicine was effective, so that he could decide whether to give the emperor the first time.

After all, the emperor's body has been...

If this medicine is ineffective, then he is really helpless.

The tent door was suddenly opened, and a woman in a flag dress walked in, it was Da Gege.

"Physician Lu, I heard that quinine cream has arrived? Is it true?"

All the imperial physicians looked hesitant.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that medicine?"

Da Gege noticed that their expressions were not right, so he asked quickly.

All the imperial physicians looked at each other, and in the end it was Lu Zongdao: "Princess, this medicine is not my Qing Dynasty's medicine. It can cure foreigners well, but it may not be able to cure our Qing Dynasty people well. It has no medicinal smell at all."

No medicinal smell?

Can that still be called medicine?

Da Gege often takes care of the emperor these days. She is a woman and a junior after all, so she is more careful in taking care of others.

Seeing her by his side, the emperor always thought of Chen Wenxin and chatted with her from time to time.

Sometimes it is said that she just doesn't like to wear flag clothes, but Hanfu looks better than the standard flag clothes.

Sometimes it is said that she loves you children the most, and it is no wonder that you children take her so seriously.

Sometimes it is said that the little elder brother in her belly does not know when it will be born, and wonders if I can see it with my own eyes.

At other times, when he was in a state of pain and confusion, he would murmur—

Tell her I'm sorry for her.

Seeing the emperor's body declining day by day, Da Gege could only comfort and encourage him in front of him.

"Huang Ama is young and strong, with the blessings of the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, she will surely turn danger into good luck."

"Huang Ama, the quinine cream will be delivered soon, if you hold on, the medicine will definitely cure you."

"Huang Ama, don't fall asleep."

……

Da Gege couldn't help sobbing, "Doctor Lu, how come there is no medicine smell? Didn't the letter from Queen Empress say it? This will definitely cure Huang Ama's illness!"

Lu Zong looked to the side, and there were two soldiers with livid faces lying on the two small beds.

"The medicine has already been given to them. If it works, it will be given to the emperor."

Da Gege was in a hurry, and was about to say something when he heard an uproar at the tent door, and Prince Gong and Prince Yu all came in.

"What's the matter, didn't you say that the medicine has arrived? Why haven't you sent it to the emperor?"

Prince Gong glanced at Da Gege, only to see tears in her eyes, her heart was not good.

"What's wrong with this medicine?"

An imperial physician in front sent up the blue silver needle, "Take a look, my lords, this medicine is poisonous, how can I give it to the emperor?"

The black-blue needle tip is trembling.

"Poison? Impossible! According to the imperial concubine's letter, this medicine can cure malaria!"

Lu Zongdao: "Don't be impatient, my lords, I have given medicine to two sick soldiers. If it works, I can give it to the emperor."

If it doesn't work...

The two soldiers of the Yuqin Dynasty glanced at them and frowned when they saw that they were lying there unable to move, they could only breathe out but not in.

"How can this work? They are so seriously ill, even if it is a magic medicine, they will not recover so quickly. Find two soldiers who are not seriously ill, and two soldiers who are not seriously ill and take the medicine together! "

It is true that the authorities are confused by the onlookers. Prince Yu woke up the imperial physicians, and one of them volunteered, "Your Majesty, go and find such soldiers!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly led people to walk out of the account.

He mainly didn't want to face the coercion of Prince Gong and Prince Yu in the tent.

Sure enough, the two princes were talking and picked up the pills.

"What kind of medicine is this, it's weird!"

Prince Gong frowned and muttered, Prince Yu was also puzzled.

The two of them have no understanding of medicine, unlike the emperor who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs, they even dabble in medicine.

Da Gege said: "When I came here just now, Huang Ama's spirit was better, why don't I show this medicine to Huang Ama?"

She looked at the two princes, and then at Lu Zong.

The latter nodded, "Let the emperor take a look."

Even if there is no way to see it, it can still give him some hope, in case he thinks he will die and is depressed.

In many cases, the mood of the patient is the decisive factor at the last moment.

Da Gege picked up a bottle of medicine, bid farewell to the two princes, and walked out of the tent.

With a wave of Prince Yu's hand, all the imperial doctors retreated tactfully, leaving only Lu Zong and the two princes in the tent.

The two looked unfriendly, staring at Lu Zong, and Lu Zong had long been used to it.

"You two lords, just say what you want. The next official will know everything and say everything."

He sat down on the chair behind him, ignoring the two princes still standing.

He was so tired.

"Mr. Lu, tell me the truth, what are the chances that this cinnamon can cure the emperor?"

Lu Zong almost jumped up from his chair, "How much? The two princes asked me how much? Who should I ask?!"

He has never seen this medicine before, and he can't analyze what ingredients are in it. How can he judge with certainty?
The only belief that made him restrain himself from throwing out these little white pills was Chen Wenxin's words.

They toured south and went out together, and in the palace it was him who had been taking care of Chen Wenxin's pulse.

Out of his understanding and trust in her, Lu Zong was willing to let the soldiers try the medicine.

otherwise……

Da Gege's footsteps sounded outside the tent, in a hurry, and the faint sound of Peihuan was heard.

She rushed in in a panic, holding on to the tent door, panting.

"It's not good, Ama, Doctor Lu, you go and have a look, Huang Ama swallowed the pill!"
