The imperial physician thought for a moment and replied, "My dear lady, that is indeed the case.
Each time I received an acupuncture injection, the symptoms were slightly stabilized, but soon after I took the medicine, the situation worsened again...
Such a palace, but the clock can only stabilize the condition, it cannot make it better. If it is delayed for too long, it will hurt the inside.
We were also puzzled and repeatedly checked the pharmacy and asked Shang Pharmacy to check their medications, and there were no problems...
But the situation is that His Highness' symptoms have not improved.
I have been a doctor for decades and have never encountered such a situation. So far, all my colleagues have diagnosed that Your Highness is suffering from a cold...
The condition was severe, but there were indeed no other symptoms.
It’s embarrassing to say that even for a simple cold, we were so helpless...”
"Doctor, please don't think about anything else for now. Can you lend me the prescription?"
The imperial physician immediately copied it.
Concubine Li explained to the Emperor and Concubine Duan, “Before I entered the palace, my family gave me some medicinal herbs that my grandparents personally bought as gifts.
If Your Majesty and Concubine Li are at ease, could you give my herbs a try?"
How could the emperor disagree?
But he still looked at Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan saw Concubine Li's intentions, and stepped forward, holding Concubine Li's hand, and said gratefully:
"My sister is thoughtful!"
Turning to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, just try your sister's medicine!"
At this moment, the palace servant from the Shang Pharmacy knelt down and reminded him:
“Your Majesty, Madam, the medicine for the guests has always been arranged by the Imperial Pharmacy.
Firstly, the palace ladies were familiar with the properties of medicinal materials and knew how to decoct them and for how long to decoct them to achieve the best medicinal properties.
Secondly, Shang Pharmacy has a complete inspection and archiving process to prevent drug errors…”
The emperor looked back in displeasure.
When Concubine Li heard this, she slowly raised the corners of her lips.
My daughter, it seems you guessed it right!
"presumptuous!"
The Eighth Prince stepped forward and said, "Imperial Concubine Li means well, what do you mean by that?
Are you questioning whether Concubine Li would tamper with the medicine?
Your medicine, according to your procedure, has not worked, but has caused Junior Brother's condition to relapse?"
The emperor's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something...
But when I think about it carefully, I can't figure it out.
"Eighth brother, don't be nervous."
The prince stepped out of the line and did not stay out of the matter.
He placed his hand on the eighth prince's shoulder, looked at the palace servants kneeling on the ground and said, "They are just doing their routine work, there is no need to embarrass them..."
Seeing the palace maid on the ground showing joy, the prince changed the subject, "However, what Eighth Brother said also has its basis.
Since the medicine from Shang Pharmacy is not effective, it might be a good idea to try Concubine Li's medicine.
Anyway…”
The prince did not finish the rest of the words, but they were enough to make everyone feel heavy-hearted.
The emperor's expression eased slightly, and Concubine Li took the initiative to suggest, "Your Majesty, why not let Concubine Duan go with me and watch me personally decoct and test the medicine...
This will also prevent breaking the palace rules. If the medicines and drug residues need to be archived, they can be stored according to the rules."
The emperor nodded when he heard this. The eighth prince keenly noticed that the expression of the palace servant kneeling on the ground froze.
The emperor turned and looked at Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan quickly thanked her, pulled Concubine Li and walked out, "Sister, let's go quickly!"
The palace maid on the ground stood up and stood beside him, looking a little unnatural.
The Crown Prince looked behind him, at the Second Prince.
This should be the first time that the two brothers have worked together, and also the time when they have the best understanding of each other.
The Second Prince remained calm and paced to the door to prevent the palace servant from the Shang Pharmacy from escaping in the chaos.
Since Concubine Li had re-decocted the medicine, the imperial doctors naturally stopped administering the medicine from the Shang Pharmacy and did not allow the Tenth Prince to continue taking it.
After taking turns to apply acupuncture, although the temperature of the Tenth Prince did not go down, his condition did not improve and was in a stalemate.
The queen was worried and held Jun Baozhu outside the palace.
Seeing Concubine Duan and Concubine Li hurriedly leaving, they had no time to say hello to the Queen...
The queen was filled with doubts and became even more worried.
Although the Tenth Prince was not born by her, perhaps the pearl awakened her maternal instinct and inspired her to care about the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince...
She empathized with Concubine Duan's anxiety about the Tenth Prince's illness.
Although she couldn't say that she treated him as her own son, but over the years, not a single emperor's son had died in her hands...
She even couldn't allow anyone else to harm other princes under her nose...
It is also enough to illustrate her kindness.
Even then, her situation was difficult.
As if sensing the Queen's worry, Jun Baozhu lay obediently in the cradle, looking at the Queen with her big eyes open, without making any noise.
Suddenly, the Firebird came over and reminded:
【Quick! There's new news! 】
