It has been said before that although Yinzuo himself does not like to take medicine, he is particularly keen on watching others drink bitter medicine soup. It turns out that even the Tao Te Ching cannot cure Fourteen's insomnia. After staring until dawn for several days in a row, Fourteen had to succumb to reality no matter how stubborn he was.
Yinzuo sent someone to invite the imperial physician, and it was naturally the imperial physician Wang who had a miserable life and a hard time treating medicine. He had thought that it was the ancestor who was feeling unwell again, and he had been nervous on the way here. But after entering the room and learning that the person who needed treatment was Fourteen, not only did he feel relieved, but even a smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, my two princes. This is just liver fire disturbing the heart due to improper diet and imbalanced work and rest. My prince, have you often felt uncontrollable temper, dizziness, dry mouth and bitter taste recently?"
Doctor Wang's medical skills are naturally beyond doubt. Since it is liver fire disturbing the heart, the treatment should naturally focus on soothing the liver and relieving heat, calming the heart and tranquilizing the nerves. Doctor Wang thought for a moment, walked to the table beside him, picked up a pen and began to write a prescription.
"Gentian, Gardenia, Scutellaria, Akebia, Plantago... No, shouldn't this medicine include Coptis chinensis? Doctor Wang, where is the Coptis chinensis?"
As the saying goes, long illness makes a doctor. Although Yinzuo has not reached that level, he has dealt with Doctor Wang a lot over the years, and he has drunk the Longdan Xiegan Decoction prescribed by Doctor Wang for Fourteen a lot, so he noticed the difference at a glance.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang paused in his writing and pretended to read the prescription from beginning to end. Then he picked up the pen and wrote the word "Coptis chinensis" at the end. There was no other way, he couldn't say that the prescription was the same whether it contained Coptis chinensis or not.
"Lord Beile, you need to control your diet for the next few days. It's best not to touch anything spicy. Please follow this prescription and take the medicine for a few days. After that, I will come and check your pulse."
Yinzuo wasn't blind, so how could he not see the obvious pause in Doctor Wang's speech? Again, this old man's conscience was truly ruined. The coptis root in the medicine he'd been drinking for the past few years must have been deliberately added by him...
Because Yinzuo was watching him, Fourteenth finally drank the special version of Longdan Xiegan Decoction with increased dosage but no increase in price, just like his sixth brother. Fortunately, Fourteenth did not have as much difficulty drinking the medicine as Yinzuo. Even if the medicine was bitter, he could still drink it in one gulp without changing his expression.
"Second brother, do you think the medicine Fourteen drank was switched? Or maybe Doctor Wang secretly removed the coptis root. Otherwise, why did he seem so relaxed when he drank it, but it was so painful for me?"
Is it possible that Fourteen seemed so relaxed when drinking the medicine because it had nothing to do with the bitterness of the medicine? If it were you, even if you took out the coptis root, you would still find it unbearably bitter.
"Okay, Xiaoliu, let's put down the medicine bowl right away. Don't you need to taste the bitterness of this medicine with your tongue? What can you tell by looking at it like this? It's hard to tell if it's bitter or not. There must be some medicine left from the one Fourteenth drank. Have someone bring you a bowl so you can try it and you'll know."
Yinzuo felt uncomfortable in his stomach just by smelling the residual medicine in the medicine bowl. When he heard Yinreng actually suggested that he taste the bitter medicine soup himself, his head immediately shook like a rattle.
"Forget about trying it, second brother. Actually, I'm not that curious. Dexi, come here quickly and take this medicine bowl away. My stomach is churning when I smell this..."
It must be said that Doctor Wang's medical skills are indeed outstanding after being carefully selected by the nine clans. Look, Fourteen only drank the medicine for a few days, and his insomnia symptoms have improved greatly. Doctor Wang came to take his pulse again and adjusted the prescription slightly. After drinking it for a few more days, Fourteen was almost cured.
"Hey, isn't it true that being young is a good thing? Second brother, look at this person's recovery ability. It's really amazing. A few nights ago, he had to rely on the Tao Te Ching to get him to sleep. Look at him now, in the scorching sun! He actually fell asleep like this."
No matter what, Fourteenth was his brother after all. In the spirit of solidarity, friendship, and mutual assistance, Yinreng, Yinzuo, and Thirteenth tacitly agreed not to call him when they entered the waterside pavilion. Of course, they still had some brotherly love. Did you see the bamboo hat that Fourteenth put on? That was the one that Yinzuo had someone put on before he entered the room.
Even though life in Shufengxuan was leisurely and comfortable, Yinreng, Thirteen, and Fourteen could not stay here forever. After five months, the three of them moved out one after another. Yinzuo stood at the door of Shufengxuan and watched Fourteen walk away reluctantly, looking back every few steps, until he could no longer see his figure, then he turned and walked into the room.
"Hey, what you said is true, Khan Ama. Even if my second brother and the others go back, what will they do? What's wrong with letting them stay here and play with me for a while longer? Dexi, ask someone to help me move my chair to the shade of the trees by the lake. I'll go fishing to kill time..."
Although Yinzuo said he wanted to go out fishing to kill time, with the temperature outside, even if he sat in the shade of a tree, Yinzuo was sweating all over in just a short while.
Yinzuo has never been a person who would make things difficult for himself. Since it is uncomfortable to stay outside, he might as well go inside to cool off.
There was a bathing pool in Yinzuo's bedroom that was built with fresh water brought from Qingxi Book House, so it was very convenient for him to wash. Coincidentally, just as Yinzuo had finished cleaning up, someone came outside to report that the Ninth Master had arrived.
When Yinzuo changed his clothes and came out, Yin'er was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. When he saw Yinzuo coming, he quickly put down the cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards him.
"Sixth brother, you're finally here. Someone came to report this morning that Zheye sent someone to contact them. He asked us to meet at Guanyuan Fistula at noon tomorrow."
It's no wonder that Yin'er was so excited. After all, even Yinzuo's heart beat faster after hearing the news. Although Yinzuo and his team had reached a consensus on cooperation with Zheye before, Zheye had not made any big moves in the past few years. Now that he suddenly asked them to meet, it was very likely that he was almost ready. Now everything was ready, and all that was missing was the east wind that Yinzuo had promised.
"Alright, look at your lack of ambition. This matter is not worth you getting so excited about. Come on, follow me to Qingxi Book House. Whether this matter can be accomplished depends on what Khan Ama means."
The four words "expanding territory" have a fatal attraction for every emperor with great ambitions, and Kangxi is undoubtedly a more ambitious monarch.
