"I will die!"

Master Lu almost cried out, kowtowing frantically, "I know I was wrong, and I beg the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess to forgive me."

Queen Mother Yan's face turned pale, and one of her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Since she came to power, her reputation has been deteriorating. Officials from both the government and the public have scolded her, those who have left the party have scolded her, and the people have scolded her as well.The daughter's reputation among the people is very high. When the eldest princess returns to the court, she, the queen mother, has benefited from her daughter and her reputation has finally been restored. If she is reviled by the people again because she spent huge sums of money to build the eldest princess' mansion, it will be more of a loss than the gain.

"Qing Yuan's plan is so far-reaching. The Ai family understands your painstaking efforts. Let's put the construction of the princess mansion on hold for now."

Mu Tingxue's goal was achieved: "The Queen Mother is a saint."

It’s not that she is alarmist, many Yan Party officials are sycophants and need to be rectified.

According to the rules of history books, the fate of such authoritarian relatives of the Yan family is death.Now that she has entered the game, she has to think about the future, and her mother must be saved.

Queen Mother Yan drank a cup of tea and her mood had stabilized. She ordered: "Since the money for the construction of the Princess's Palace has been saved, and the regent's military salary for the northern expedition has also been saved, let's pay the three months' salary arrears to the provincial officials. It’s all been sent out.”

"Old minister... I obey the order."

Mr. Lu felt bitter in his heart and burst into tears.

There is money to be made in building the Princess Mansion. We had already negotiated with Qin Hou, the Minister of Industry, but now things have gone south. We pay salaries to lower-level officials in each province according to the system, and there is no money to be made.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was reprimanded, but Empress Dowager Yan did not punish him seriously. After discussing the matter, she left Qihuang Palace.

"The Queen Mother, it's time to enter the spiritual dew."

The eldest maid, Yue Ci, came over holding a silver vase.

Out of a doctor's intuition, Mu Tingxue asked: "What spiritual dew?"

Yue Ci respectfully replied: "It is what the ladies in the harem often drink. Xianfang Linglu drink has the effects of beautifying the skin and prolonging life."

Mu Tingxue became interested: "How to do it?"

"Go back to Her Majesty the Princess, use the best tribute rice, two coins of ginseng and atractylodes, steam it in a bamboo tube, hollow the bottom of the bamboo tube, place a silver vase, add Anle Spring water while cooking, fill the silver vase with the boiled juice, and it will be immortal dew."

Mu Tingxue smiled: "Rice soup?"

The Xianfang Linglu has a fancy name. It's nothing more than boiled rice soup with a little bit of qi-tonifying ginseng and atractylodes added to it. It's nonsense to talk about longevity.

Anle Spring is located on Qixia Mountain not far behind the palace. It is a living spring. It is pure natural and pollution-free, and is better than modern tap water.

Yue Ci was a little embarrassed: "I don't know, this slave is the secret recipe for maintaining health in the harem. It is said that several generations of queens drank this fairy dew."

Queen Mother Yan asked her daughter: "Is this spiritual dew ineffective? Every time Aijia drinks it, she feels okay."

"invalid."

Mu Tingxue doesn't lie.

Queen Mother Yan was a little disappointed: "If that's the case, then I won't drink it."

Yue Ci lowered his head and wanted to carry down the silver bottle of fairy dew.

Another palace maid painted a poem and said hurriedly: "How can it be ineffective? I heard that Concubine Li of Mist Palace has specified that she wants to drink this fairy prescription dew every day."

This wasn't the first time Hua Shi talked back to Mu Tingxue.

In the past, she was just a female doctor, and it was okay to be talked back to by palace maids of the same level. Now that she is the eldest princess, she is still rebellious.

Mu Tingxue laughed dryly: "What are you going to drink, Princess Li? Do you want Queen Mother to drink with you?"

Hua Shi broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down: "This is not what I meant. Your Highness, the eldest princess, has wronged me."

Empress Dowager Yan hated Concubine Li the most in her life: "Drag her down and slap her twenty times!"

What rank is she, what rank is Concubine Li? How could she, the queen mother of a country, learn from that bitch?

He painted poems and cried and begged for mercy, but to no avail.

After being dragged into the courtyard by the eunuchs, there was a clear sound of "papa" applause.

"Hmph, these slaves are getting more and more outrageous." Queen Mother Yan's voice was hoarse when she was angry. She was no longer interested in the rice soup in the silver bottle. She covered her neck with one hand and coughed twice.

"Is your mother's throat uncomfortable?"

Mu Tingxue asked with concern.

"One thing is that I always feel that my throat is hairy. I can't cough it up and can't swallow it."

Queen Mother Yan cleared her throat again and frowned slightly, "Maybe it's because of internal heat. Yue Ci, make a cup of Luo Han Guo clearing tea."

"Yes."

Yue Ci took the order and went to the tea room.

Mu Tingxue took out a small flashlight and a sterile tongue depressor: "My daughter, let me do a throat examination on you. Open your mouth, ah——"

Queen Mother Yan was very cooperative and opened her mouth obediently.

The slightly cold tongue depressor pressed against her tongue, which made her uncomfortable.

Why does Qingyuan have so many weird gadgets?That round one that shines, what is it?

Mu Tingxue carefully examined her mother's throat: "The tonsils are not inflamed or swollen, and there are no secretions or foreign bodies in the crypts... Strangely, there is some atrophy of local tissues."

This is obviously abnormal.

"vomit--"

Queen Mother Yan felt nauseated, turned her head and retched.

Mu Tingxue thought it was because she was not used to using the tongue depressor for the first time. Her throat was too fragile and it was irritated. She quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it over: "Rinse your mouth quickly!"

After Queen Mother Yan rinsed her mouth with warm water, she felt much better.

Mu Tingxue gave her another Golden Throat. The Queen Mother took it in her mouth, raised her head, leaned back slightly, and her breathing gradually became smoother.

"This lozenge is so comfortable."

Queen Mother Yan was very satisfied.

Mu Tingxue left a box for her, but she knew that this stuff would treat the symptoms rather than the root cause and could only temporarily relieve the symptoms.

She stood up, took out several medical test tubes, and sampled the rice soup spirit dew in the silver vase, the tea in the purple clay pot on the table, the warm decoction in the medicine jar on the stove in the west chamber, and the Qi Huang The water in the well in the backyard of the palace and the water in the copper kettle in the tea room are all sealed with plastic hoses.

Tai Hospital.

"Your Majesty the Judge!"

"His Royal Highness!"

"Good morning, Your Highness, Princess!"

After Mu Tingxue's rectification, the remaining dozen or so imperial doctors worked conscientiously. In their spare time, they studied "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" in the hospital, fearing that one day the eldest princess would suddenly take a random exam.

They were dissatisfied with the fact that a female doctor with a background as a businesswoman was the head of the imperial hospital, but no one dared to be disrespectful to the royal princess.

"Bai Xiaogong."

"exist."

"Bring some sodium carbonate." Mu Tingxue ordered.

"Tan...what Na?" Bai Xiaogong was promoted from an apprentice by the eldest princess. He was very loyal, but he was not very knowledgeable and could not understand His Highness's request.

"It's soda ash." Mu Tingxue said another name for sodium carbonate, which existed in ancient times.

"Please wait."

After a while, Bai Xiaogong came with some soda ash.

Mu Tingxue divided the soda ash into many equal parts, and then added them to the test tube samples one by one.

There were five samples in total, and nothing happened in the second, fourth, and fifth test tubes. However, when the rice soup Linglu in the first test tube and the medicine in the medicine jar in the third test tube were put in, reactions occurred!

Gas and a small amount of blue floc appeared in the test tube. After a while, part of the blue floc turned into black.

Bai Xiaogong looked surprised and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Princess, are you doing magic? It's so magical."

Mu Tingxue couldn't help but laugh. Copper ions were detected in the Linglu rice soup her mother drank and the medicine in the medicine jar.

"It's not a magic trick, it's a double hydrolysis reaction of copper ions."
