Chapter 318 Doctor Xuan!
Inside Yaoguang Hall.
The bed made a sound, echoing in the silent hall.
After a long time, the sound gradually stopped.
Zhang Chengyan pulled back the curtain and shouted, "Someone, bring in the ice basin!"
There was a hint of heat in his voice.
"Yes!" Yingxia lowered her head and walked quickly into the hall with a basin of ice.
Even though the person in front of her was the emperor, she didn't dare to peek at him.
There is an iron rule in Yaoguang Palace, that is, you must never peek at the emperor, let alone attempt to seduce him.
Otherwise, no matter who it is, Jin Weige will use any means to kill him!
Zhang Chengyan felt a slight coolness, and the feeling of heat was slightly relieved.
Jin Weige stretched out her hand and called softly, "Your Majesty."
There was a hint of weakness and fatigue in her voice.
"I feel very hot and uncomfortable right now. Please wait a moment." Zhang Chengyan frowned, his tone revealing irritability.
"I understand." Although Jin Weige was exhausted, she still managed to get up, picked up the fan, and gently fanned Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. I specially asked someone to prepare herbal tea, Yingxia, why don't you bring it up quickly."
"Yes!" Yingxia quickly presented the herbal tea.
They each drank a glass, and the coolness spread down their throats to their entire bodies.
Zhang Chengyan drew the curtain again, and the hot feeling in his body surged up again. He thought that everything would go smoothly as usual.
However, this time the opposite happened and no matter how hard he tried, there was no response.
Seeing this, Jin Weige hurried to help.
But after all the efforts, it was still in vain.
Zhang Chengyan was filled with annoyance and pushed Jin Weige away. "I think you have already vented your anger today. Never mind. I will go back to the Yangxin Palace."
Even though there are many ice basins in Yaoguang Palace, it is still not as cool and comfortable as the Yangxin Palace.
After saying that, Zhang Chengyan hurriedly put on his clothes and left. He didn't take the matter to heart at all, thinking it was just an occasional physical discomfort.
After that, the tonic soup was still delivered on time every day, and everything in the palace was no different from usual.
However, there are hidden waves beneath the calm.
In the early morning, Zhang Chengyan woke up from his sleep, his face terribly gloomy, "Wang Decai, please ask the royal doctor to come over!"
"Yes!" Wang Decai was shocked. The emperor summoned the imperial physician early in the morning. Could it be that the emperor was ill?
He did not dare to delay and hurried to the Imperial Hospital to convey the order.
Soon, Doctor Wang hurried to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Chengyan glanced at the palace servants around him and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, retreat!"
When they were the only two left in the hall, he spoke with an angry look, "I...I seem to have a problem."
Doctor Wang was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it, and immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.
"Your Majesty, I see that you have no external injuries on your body, so you haven't been hit or bruised, right?"
"Of course not." Zhang Chengyan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said unhappily, "As the Son of Heaven, how could I easily bump into someone?"
"Then allow me to examine the emperor's pulse again and take a closer look." Doctor Wang stretched out his hand and took Zhang Chengyan's pulse.
After a long while, Doctor Wang spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, judging from your pulse, your internal heat is too strong and out of balance. Your Majesty, have you felt a strong desire in some aspect recently?"
"That's right." Zhang Chengyan nodded and said truthfully, "I want to go to Yaoguang Palace almost every few days."
In the past, he could go to the harem for several months without any problem, but now, he couldn't hold back even after just two or three days.
If Bai Wutong hadn't just given birth, he would have gone to Ti Shun Tang long ago.
"Your Majesty, according to my diagnosis, it is the excessive heat that causes the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, which in turn leads to external deficiency, resulting in such symptoms."
"Then how to solve it?" Zhang Chengyan was very annoyed. As an emperor, such issues concerned his dignity. How could he calm down?
"This... this matter is of great importance and concerns the health of the emperor. Please allow me to go back and discuss it carefully with other imperial doctors, and then formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan for the emperor."
Zhang Chengyan stared at Doctor Wang and asked, "Are you sure this disease can be cured?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as it is not caused by external injuries, it will be fine."
"Well, go ahead. This matter must be kept strictly confidential, and only you imperial doctors are allowed to know about it. If any rumor leaks out..." Zhang Chengyan's eyes were cold, and the threat was self-evident.
Doctor Wang was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I will keep my mouth shut and will never reveal a single word."
After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
About an hour later, the three imperial doctors rushed to the Yangxin Palace and took turns to check Zhang Chengyan's pulse again.
After taking the pulse, they looked at each other and agreed with Doctor Wang's previous diagnosis.
Zhang Chengyan realized a key question at this moment, "Why am I suddenly so angry?"
My diet is carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen, so this kind of problem never occurs.
Besides, even if I usually get very angry, I will return to normal after venting it. It has never been so serious.
The three imperial physicians spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the problem is most likely due to diet."
"Yes, I also think so. This anger comes from the inside out, and it is very likely caused by diet."
"This is also my judgment."
Seeing that the three imperial doctors had the same opinion, Zhang Chengyan immediately wanted to summon someone from the imperial kitchen to question them.
But after changing his mind, he stopped.
The meals served by the imperial kitchen every day were no different from usual, except that some seasonal vegetables were changed according to the season. Besides, this was done every year, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Now it seems that the most suspicious things are the tonic soup and the pastries.
These two things are what he eats frequently recently, but he didn't eat them before.
If you have to choose between the two, tonic soup is obviously more suspicious.
The chief eunuch of the imperial kitchen hurried over and knelt down as soon as he entered the palace gate, "Your servant kowtows to the emperor!"
"Well, Doctor Wang, you talk to him first."
Doctor Wang stepped forward and asked the chief eunuch, "Has the emperor eaten anything that can easily cause excessive heat in recent days?"
"This... Reporting to the Lord, it is the hottest summer now, how dare I serve the Emperor food that can easily cause irritation? These are all cool and refreshing foods. Oh, by the way, Concubine Jin sends nourishing soup every day, and that soup is a very nourishing food!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang immediately said, "Hurry up and bring me the recipe for the tonic soup."
"Yes." The chief eunuch quickly ordered his men to go to the imperial kitchen.
Not long after, the man hurried back with two prescriptions.
"Your Majesty, I have asked someone to fetch both prescriptions. Since Your Majesty has been drinking the tonic soup, I took it upon myself to fetch the prescription that Concubine Zhao had given me before."
The chief eunuch handed the prescription to Doctor Wang and explained, "This one is the prescription for the tonic soup sent by Concubine Jin, and this one is for Concubine Zhao."
Three imperial doctors rushed over to check.
There were two recipes, and from the ingredients to the condiments, they were almost identical.
The only difference is that there is one more medicinal ingredient in Concubine Jin's prescription.
Although this herb will not change the taste of the tonic soup, it has a great impact on its efficacy!
"Your Majesty, this recipe from Concubine Jin is even more tonifying than the tonic soup that Concubine Zhao sent earlier! Drinking it for a long time will inevitably lead to excessive internal heat!"
