Chapter 108 Bai Qinghuan takes the pulse
Is the Queen Mother really considering the succession of the throne or... hoping that the Emperor will die soon?
She felt that she could no longer understand her master.
As for the selection of the crown prince, needless to say, the Queen Mother will definitely choose the third prince.
After all, the third prince has the blood of the empress dowager and that man.
Normally, the Queen Mother treats the Third Prince like a treasure and dotes on him.
Any good things would be sent to Concubine Yun and the Third Prince.
On the contrary, the gifts given to His Majesty, the Princess Royal and the Regent were smaller.
"Rong Chu, what exactly do you think the emperor wanted Bai Qinghuan to leave for?"
Madam Rong also didn't know and shook her head.
"Forget it. I can't guess it either. Let's go prepare Zhuo Xu's wedding gifts."
"Yes, I will accompany you to the warehouse to pick some."
......
Here, as soon as Bai Qinghuan came out of the Cining Palace, she heard Desheng anxiously instructing the eunuch to call the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty! You must not be angry."
"Hmph...cough cough cough..."
Bai Qinghuan didn't dare to say a word and followed the emperor to the imperial study.
I walked in carefully and looked around at this national center of power.
The first thing that catches your eye is the huge carved desk, made of dark-colored, warm-textured rosewood.
The table top is wide and flat, on which is neatly placed a Duan inkstone carved with a pattern of a dragon playing with a pearl, and next to the inkstone are several goat-hair brushes.
On one side of the imperial desk is an exquisite multi-layered bookshelf, each layer of which is filled with various ancient books, from yellowed classics to gold-embossed royal books, which make people want to take them down to feast their eyes.
On the wall opposite the imperial desk, there hangs a magnificent painting of vast rivers and mountains. The ink color is just right, showing the magnificent scenery of the beautiful rivers and mountains.
Below the picture there is an armchair covered with a bright yellow brocade cushion, and the armrests on both sides are carved into the shape of majestic dragon heads, as if silently telling of the majesty of the royal family.
In the corner of the imperial study, there is a bronze incense burner that is as tall as a person. Ancient runes and auspicious patterns are engraved on the burner. Wisps of green smoke rise from the burner, and the elegant scent of ambergris fills the entire room, making people feel peaceful.
This is the place that students from all over the world flock to.
The Imperial Study was not a place where a woman like her could come. The Emperor probably brought her here to ask about the frostbite ointment.
Frostbite ointment involves the army and naturally the government, so it is understandable that it comes here.
She stood there, waiting for the emperor to ask questions.
The emperor did not ask anything, but wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with contempt.
Desheng helped him rinse his mouth: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"
“Fishy smell.”
Desheng: Chicken blood doesn’t smell fishy.
Bai Qinghuan also sniffed and smelled a bloody smell that was different from human blood.
Is Your Majesty pretending in front of the Queen Mother?
Really interesting.
It's just that the blood is fake and the coughing is real.
The emperor also saw Bai Qinghuan's understanding look.
His Majesty was amazed at the girl's quick mind. Her medical skills were so good that she must have discovered it.
But he didn't say anything.
At this moment, the young eunuch arrived with the imperial physician.
Desheng advised carefully: "Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to check your pulse."
The emperor waved his hand impatiently like a spoiled child: "No need."
After taking my pulse, he prescribed a bunch of bitter soup which was extremely unpalatable.
"I only need two pills."
Desheng disagreed. Every time His Majesty finished using the elixir, his face would become rosy and his complexion would look much better, but after a few days, he would be weaker than before.
After using medicinal pills for so many years, my body has become weak.
However, he and the Regent Princess tried to persuade the emperor many times, but the emperor turned a deaf ear to them and it was all useless.
Bai Qinghuan also noticed that the emperor's face looked dirty, and his forehead was even a little black.
Obviously, it is a sign of poisoning.
And the cough just now has entered the lungs and become a chronic disease.
So, he also advised: "Your Majesty, you should let the imperial physician take a look. The dragon's health is more important. Dongxi cannot do without you."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and pointed at her: "By the way, you also know medicine, come and take my pulse."
The imperial physician next to him looked at Bai Qinghuan in surprise, with dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
How can a little girl who is still wet behind the ears know medical skills?
Even if he can, can he have as much experience as him?
His expression was quite disdainful.
"Your Majesty, this girl is very young, and I don't think the doctor's skills are good. Let me take your pulse."
"You should leave now."
"His Majesty?"
The imperial physician was unwilling to be outdone.
During this period, most of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau were sent to Mengbai Mountain and Fuzhou.
If he could take the emperor's pulse, he would probably have a chance to shine soon.
I didn't expect that a little girl would steal the limelight.
"How can you hand over your dragon body to an outsider with unknown medical skills?"
His Majesty will not change his mind just because of a few words from others.
"Do you know the frostbite ointment you made these days?"
"I know that the frostbite ointment is a miraculous remedy. Once applied, the frostbite will stop itching and hurting immediately, and the redness and swelling will fade away."
"How does the person who wrote this recipe compare to you?"
"I am ashamed of myself!"
"Well, it was made by this girl whom you despise."
"ah?"
The imperial physician was dumbfounded. This is impossible?
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
The imperial physician changed his previous arrogance and said carefully:
"Excuse me, young lady, who is your teacher?"
When Bai Qinghuan heard the imperial physician ask this, she knew that he still didn't believe it.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't need other people's recognition.
“I learned it on my own.”
The doctor looked deceived: "If the girl doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it. Why lie to her?"
The emperor didn't want to listen to the imperial physician's nagging anymore: "You can leave now."
The imperial physician had no choice but to retreat with his body hunched.
Decided to find out who this girl was.
In the imperial study, His Majesty unzipped his sleeves and exposed his wrists: "Please feel my pulse."
Bai Qinghuan was supported by Zhenzhu and walked forward, with her fingers resting on his wrist.
In her previous life, she was interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Not only was she good at tinkering with some gadgets, but she also had good medical skills.
Use your fingertips to feel the beating of your pulse.
The pulse is slow, sometimes stops, and there is no fixed number of stops. The pulse is indeed abnormal.
Her heart skipped a beat. The pulse was really not good, and it was almost at the end of its life.
If you take good care of yourself afterwards, you can still live another three to five years.
Otherwise, two years is the limit.
This is a huge problem, how should she explain it?
Seeing her silent and silent, the emperor withdrew his wrist, as if he didn't care about his situation at all.
"how?"
Bai Qinghuan considered it for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is suffering from chronic poisoning, and his dragon body is damaged."
Desheng was shocked: "Poisoned? Someone is trying to murder your majesty?"
Daily meals, clothing, incense, etc. have been checked one by one, this is not possible.
"Who is so bold? This is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!"
"Please be at ease, eunuch. You have not been poisoned."
"Where did the poison come from?"
"Excuse me, eunuch, does His Majesty take pills regularly?"
