Chapter 328: The Queen Mother Protects Her Shortcomings (Part 2)



Yuchi Xiu was halfway through his speech when he felt something was wrong and stopped immediately. He was so angry that he imitated Xiaohu's words: "Play with the guards!"

Wei Ting took out the second hidden weapon: "My left hand is not very accurate."

If it wasn't accurate enough, it would have nearly blinded me. If it was accurate enough, it would have chopped me off on the spot? Yuchi Xiu couldn't afford to offend me.

Walk away.

He decisively went to find Su Cheng.

Wei Ting said calmly: "Wa."

Yuchi Xiu resigned himself to his fate and turned back to fill the gap with tiles.

Su Xiaoxiao had a good sleep last night.

When I woke up the next day, Bai Xihe had already left.

Wei Ting and Su Cheng also stood up.

Last night, not only did he compete in martial arts with Bi Wu and practice his skills, but he also discussed military tactics with Yuchi Xiu and exercised his wisdom.

Both of them were very happy! "Girl, are you up?" Su Cheng retracted the punch he was about to throw.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Dad, you're up so early?"

Su Cheng scratched his head: "I've been getting up early lately, I'm used to it. By the way, Madam Bai said she left first."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Oh, I see."

Su Cheng wondered, "She gets sick every other day and always goes to the doctor alone. Where are her family? Where is her husband?"

"She..." Su Xiaoxiao couldn't tell her father Bai Xihe that she was the Grand Empress Dowager, so she could only say, "Her husband passed away."

"Ah." Su Cheng was at a loss for words again.

After breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao went to the palace to see the Queen Mother for a follow-up visit.

Because she became a doctor in Yongshou Palace, she successfully skipped classes in the palace school and suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to treat the empress dowager.

Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an came in the morning and were sent by the Empress Dowager to attend classes in the palace.

The reason was simple: Princess Hui'an and Princess Jingning started quarreling, and the Queen Mother was given a headache by the quarrel, but fortunately, out of sight, out of mind.

Su Xiaoxiao took the empress dowager's pulse.

The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. The Empress Dowager's illness was the result of accumulation over time. As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. The Empress Dowager's illness must not be treated hastily, as strong medicines may easily destroy her body.

Su Xiaoxiao's treatment plan for the empress dowager was to purge first and then to nourish. It was not a diarrhea that meant to relieve the stomach, but to relieve the liver fire, clear the congestion in the body, and then warm and nourish the body bit by bit.

You may be in a relatively weak state in the first few days, but your sleep quality and appetite will improve.

"Did the Queen Mother sleep well last night?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Such questions would naturally be answered by the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge said politely, "It was about the same as the night before. He slept for nearly three hours and said he was hungry when he got up."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "What did the Queen Mother eat last night and this morning?"

The eunuch in charge said, "I ate half a bowl of barley porridge last night and a bowl of Tremella soup this morning. I couldn't eat so much before."

The Queen Mother had been ill for a long time, had poor appetite, and had decreased digestive function. She would suffer from abdominal distension and belching after eating a few bites.

Thinking of something, the eunuch in charge smiled and asked, "Doctor Su, do you still have the medicinal food from yesterday?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao pointed outside, "Your people took it for drug testing."

Everything that went into the Empress Dowager's mouth had to first be tested for poison using a silver needle, and then tested on themselves by a special eunuch. Only if it was found to be safe could it be sent to the Empress Dowager.

The same goes for decoctions.

The eunuch in charge smiled and said, "Doctor Su is an excellent doctor, and I didn't expect that he is also a good cook. The Queen Mother is very happy..."

The Queen Mother glared coldly at the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge lowered his head angrily.

Soon, Emperor Jingxuan came over.

He brought Hu Jiusheng to take the empress dowager's pulse.

"No need."

The Queen Mother said impatiently, "One doctor is annoying enough, and another one is coming. Do you want to annoy me to death?"

Emperor Jingxuan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "If your mother doesn't like Doctor Su..."

The Queen Mother said calmly, "How is it? Did the Imperial Hospital cure me?"

The Queen Mother blamed him for killing the King of Nanyang's family and opposed him in every way. The Queen Mother wanted to keep the things he didn't like, but she wouldn't even give the slightest bit of face to the things he liked.

Emperor Jingxuan was no longer surprised.

He did not think that the Queen Mother was partial to Su Xiaoxiao, and most likely she was taking this opportunity to embarrass him.

"Queen, the medicine is ready."

A little palace maid brought up the steaming medicine soup.

Hu Jiusheng frowned: "Is the Queen Mother taking medicine? But... the Imperial Hospital does not have any record of prescribing medicine. May I ask, Eunuch Cheng, where did these medicines come from?"

The eunuch in charge glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "He was caught from Doctor Su's clinic."

"What? Medicinal materials from outside the palace?" Hu Jiusheng was very surprised. "Why go to far away places to get medicine? Are the medicinal materials outside the palace better than those in the Imperial Hospital?"

"Bring it here!"

The Queen Mother was annoyed with these people. She took the medicine bowl in her hand and drank it up in one gulp, not leaving a drop.

Emperor Jingxuan and Hu Jiusheng were stunned.

How difficult was it to feed the Queen Mother medicine in the past? I wish I could pry her mouth open and pour the medicine in.

What kind of magic did this girl use to make the Queen Mother drink the medicine willingly?

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I will give you acupuncture later."

The Queen Mother responded calmly: "Yes."

Hu Jiusheng took a breath of cold air.

Did he hear wrongly? The Queen Mother hated acupuncture the most! She had never cooperated with any imperial physician like this before.

The Empress Dowager asked casually, "The Emperor doesn't have to deal with state affairs or review memorials?"

Emperor Jingxuan said with a complicated expression: "Mother, please have a good rest. I will come over later."

Emperor Jingxuan took Hu Jiusheng away.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine box and took out the silver needle.

The Queen Mother asked, "Girl, do you hate that imperial physician?"

"I was being obvious?"

She didn't say a word just now.

"Hmph." The Queen Mother took the tea handed to her by the palace maid and rinsed her mouth. "I don't even have this much vision, so why am I still the Queen Mother?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought of Bai Xihe. The women in the harem were all extraordinary.

She thought Bai Xihe was an innocent little deer the first two times, but only discovered last night that it was actually a cunning fox.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

No further information.

There was a hint of surprise in the empress dowager's eyes, as if she was puzzled by Su Xiaoxiao's behavior of openly admitting that she had a grudge against Hu Jiusheng but not taking the opportunity to report Hu Jiusheng.

Most people would not miss such a good opportunity.

How could Su Xiaoxiao not know that this was a great opportunity to suppress Hu Jiusheng? And the Queen Mother took the initiative to mention this matter. Since the Queen Mother asked about it, she was handing Su Xiaoxiao a ladder.

Su Xiaoxiao climbed up the ladder, which was not considered as overstepping.

But Su Xiaoxiao has bigger goals in mind.

The Queen Mother's favor is very valuable, and it is not worth wasting it on Hu Jiusheng.

The Queen Mother understood immediately.

The greatest requirement is to ask for nothing.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

This girl, don't let her create a huge mess in the future and let her clean up the mess -

Su Xiaoxiao raised the silver needle and smiled slightly: "Queen Mother, it's time for acupuncture!"

The migration is to Xiaoxiang APP, other platforms remain unchanged.

I have something to do in the three-dimensional world today, so I’ll stop here for now. See you tomorrow.
