Chapter 109: The Sign of Running Out of Oil
"...yes."
Could it be that the pill is poisonous?
He said that those Taoist priests were not good people.
Bai Qinghuan looked at the emperor and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Would she be guilty if she told the truth?
Desheng urged anxiously: "Miss Bai, please speak quickly."
Bai Qinghuan knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive Qinghuan for being innocent!"
In this evil feudal society, she has to kneel at every turn, and she is still a patient.
The emperor said two words generously: "Alright, get up and sit down."
Bai Qinghuan didn't dare to sit fully on the stool, but sat on one-third of it, so that he appeared more respectful.
"The materials used to refine elixirs generally include mercury and cinnabar. If these are taken in small amounts, the symptoms are not obvious. However, if they are taken for a long time, even in small doses, they will gradually accumulate in the body and become a chronic poison that will continuously corrode the dragon's body."
"And it will explode someday in the future, and by then there will be no cure."
Desheng opened his mouth so wide that he could almost swallow an egg.
This is the first person to say that elixirs are poisonous.
Looking at His Majesty helplessly: "Your Majesty..."
"None of the imperial doctors ever said that the elixir was poisonous."
His intuition was right; one should not take too many pills.
"The imperial doctors may be... more cautious."
If you work in the palace and say something wrong, you’ll lose your head.
Your Majesty is keen on this, and honest advice is unpleasant to the ears. If they say it, they might really lose their heads.
She was actually taking a risk by saying it.
The emperor knew what Bai Qinghuan meant without even thinking. Whether it was the ministers or the imperial physicians, most of them still followed the doctrine of the mean.
Don't seek to be meritorious, but seek to avoid mistakes.
But if he is asked to give up taking pills now, what fun will there be in his life?
"What if I continue to take it?"
Desheng was worried: "Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If you continue to take it, your internal organs will fail at best, or even your life will be in danger."
"Your cough, which goes deep into your lungs, the dull pain in your right abdomen, and the occasional palpitations are all because of this."
The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body. It has been exhausted by mercury and cinnabar, so it is natural that it is in pain.
The emperor looked at her with mysterious eyes and pressed his right abdomen. Sure enough, he felt a lot of pain between his ribs.
He grinned and withdrew his hand.
Murmuring: "Life-threatening?"
Thinking about what I have to do, now is not the time to die.
Staring straight at Bai Qinghuan:
"How many years do I have left to live?"
In fact, I am also aware of my own physical condition, which is very serious.
Just looking for an answer.
Bai Qinghuan didn't dare to say this, she lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and said in a low voice: "I am not good at medicine, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
His Majesty knew that she knew, but he just didn't dare to say it.
He asked sincerely, "Do you still have two years? Tell me the truth, and I will not punish you."
It would take at least two years to overthrow Yun Yi's faction and prevent war in Dongxi.
Bai Qinghuan had to say it anyway, so she said, "Yes, as long as you take good care of yourself."
“How to maintain it?”
"Quit taking pills, drink detoxifying soups, eat more fruits and vegetables, go to bed early and get up early, and exercise."
In fact, there is no other good way, and detoxification drugs will not work immediately.
It is definitely beneficial to consume more vitamins at this time.
"I understand. Please prescribe the medicine."
"yes."
Bai Qinghuan wanted to write a prescription, but he couldn't use the imperial desk. Desheng was smart enough to quickly bring a table and stool.
She picked up her pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the herbs that clear away heat, detoxify, and nourish the liver one by one.
"Father, please follow the prescription. Boil five bowls of water into two bowls, twice a day."
"Thank you for your hard work, young lady. However, I hope you will keep the matter of prescribing the medicine for His Majesty a secret."
"Of course, His Majesty asked me to come to the Imperial Study today to inquire about the frostbite ointment, nothing else."
It was good enough that His Majesty didn't kill her, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
Desheng nodded with satisfaction. This girl really knows what's going on.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Retreat. The imperial decree for reward will be issued tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After she left, the emperor took the prescription and admired her handwriting.
"The person is beautiful and the handwriting is beautiful too."
"Chi Zhuoxu doesn't know what's good. He's not worthy of Bai Qinghuan anyway."
It’s a perfect match for Chi Ming.
"Go get some medicine."
"yes."
It is better for your majesty not to take elixirs. Desheng went there secretly, and this matter must not be known to the people in the Imperial Hospital.
......
The next day
Early in the morning, Bai Changhao returned from the morning court with a lot of anger.
Aunt Zheng didn't know what was going on, so she asked cautiously, "Prime Minister, what happened?"
Bai Changhao didn't say anything and hurried to Mingyue Courtyard.
"Lu Wanning, you taught your daughter well."
Aunt Zheng was delighted. What trouble had Bai Qinghuan caused again?
The more trouble they get into, the better it is for her.
Standing behind Bai Changhao as if watching a joke.
Lu Wanning put down the teacup and asked slowly:
"May I ask, sir, what did my daughter do to make you so angry?"
Her calmness formed a sharp contrast with Bai Changhao's anger.
It seemed like Bai Changhao was being unreasonable.
It's just that he is not aware of his own image.
"She falsely accused Lord Yun and offended the Queen Mother. Today at the morning court, the Queen Mother sent someone to warn me. Do you think she was responsible?"
"What a wicked girl! If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned her in the toilet when she was born."
Hearing his unbearable words, Lu Wanning's face turned cold. She was not going to tolerate his bad habits now.
"False accusation? Qinghuan's leg hasn't healed yet. It will take a hundred days for the broken bones to heal. Yun Yizi brought this upon himself. What does this have to do with Qinghuan?"
"The Queen Mother is warning you, are you sure it's not because you didn't do your job well?"
"I'm really working hard, how can this be my problem?"
"My daughter has been wronged, but you, as a father, have not sought justice for her. You just let her endure it. What qualifications do you have to shout here?"
"If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. As Qing Huan's biological father, what have you taught her?"
He only cared about teaching illegitimate sons and daughters, but he never paid any attention to his legitimate sons and daughters.
Now he has the nerve to come to her yard and shout loudly, are you giving him face?
She impatiently ordered him to leave: "Get lost!"
She doesn't want to say a word to Bai Changhao now.
This was the first time Bai Changhao was told to get lost.
He looked at this once gentle and virtuous lady in disbelief: "You...you...how could you have changed so beyond recognition?"
The answer he got was Lu Wanning rolling her eyes.
Bai Changhao was furious: "You... are simply unreasonable."
He was so angry that he had no place to vent it, so he cursed at Madam Liu and the others, and scolded Aunt Zheng a few more times, then left the house angrily.
Aunt Zheng had come here to join in the fun, but she was scolded for no reason and felt very unhappy.
"Madam, the eldest girl is immature. You still need to teach her well. She offended Lord Yun during the winter hunt. Concubine Yun is Lord Yun's daughter, and the third prince is Lord Yun's grandson. This time she entered the palace and offended the Queen Mother. She has offended all the important people in Dongxi. Don't let our whole family be implicated."
"No matter how bad my daughter is, she will never have an affair with someone without a matchmaker and become someone's concubine."
If Qinghuan hadn't said that she was still useful, she would have sold Zheng Jiao, the lowly concubine.
"you..."
Lu Wanning knows how to touch people's hearts.
Aunt Zheng's heart ached with anger. Before she could say anything, news came from the front yard that an imperial edict had arrived.
Bai Qinghuan had already informed Lu Wanning, and Lu Wanning's face instantly became cheerful.
"Madame Liu, quickly follow me to the front yard to receive the imperial edict. Also, send someone to call the Prime Minister back."
"yes."
