Chang'an Xu's hometown

The emperor, after hearing what Chef Tian said, thought that everything that happened today was because of his medicine, and he got angry and said to him: "My dear Tian, ​​tell me how you made that ten-fold tonic soup? What ancient book did you learn how to make? What thing needs to be boiled for nine days?

Wouldn't it be spoiled if you boil it for 9 days? Can you still drink it? I think you are wasting your time, so don't do it again."

After hearing what the emperor said, Chef Tian quickly retorted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you don't understand. I am a professional in making medicinal food. The ancient book is a family heirloom. It has been passed down to my generation for the 100th generation.

This is how the Ten-Ingredient Decoction is made. It needs to be boiled for nine days. Of course, humans cannot drink it after it has been boiled for nine days, but it is not for humans to drink either. It is for horses to drink.

My beloved horse is sick. It refuses to eat every day and is so thin that you can even see its bones. I am so heartbroken. I have been reading books at home these days. I found a prescription that can cure its illness in my family heirloom book. I have been busy with this matter these days.

By the way, Your Majesty, where is my medicine? My people said that Concubine Jing took my medicine away, but it is not ready yet.

It takes nine days, today is the ninth day, and it will be good after tomorrow. I have been busy making medicine these days. I was watching the medicine today, but someone from Chunyue Palace came to me and said that the imperial concubine wanted to eat chestnut cakes, which would take a while to make. So I asked my people to watch the soup for a while, and I went to make chestnut cakes.

After I make the chestnut cake, I will give it to the people in Chunyue Palace. Then my people will tell me that the medicine was taken away by Concubine Jing. Your Majesty, please ask Concubine Jing to return my medicine to me. I will beg you to do this. Your Majesty, please.

When the emperor heard what Chef Tian said, he was surprised and said, "My dear Tian, ​​what did you say? This is for horses. Then why did Concubine Jing serve it to me?"

After hearing what the emperor said, Chef Tian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what did you say? I didn't hear it wrongly. Concubine Jing gave it to you to drink. Your Majesty, you didn't drink it, did you? I really don't know what would happen if a person drank it. This is for horses."

The emperor heard what he said that night and said to him, "My dear Tian, ​​don't be anxious. I didn't drink. I didn't drink. I really didn't drink."

After hearing what the emperor said, Chef Tian heaved a sigh of relief and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's good that you didn't drink. It's good that you didn't drink. If you drank, even if I die to apologize, it won't reduce my guilt."

The emperor said: "But this little girl did drink it."

When Chef Tian heard this, he was shocked and said, "What? This girl drank it? What symptoms did she have after drinking it? It's nothing serious, right?"

After hearing this, the emperor said to him, "Don't worry, Lord Tian. Imperial Doctor Liu checked her and found that she had food poisoning. There's nothing serious."

After hearing this, Chef Tian heaved a sigh of relief and said to the emperor, "It's good, it's good. Your Majesty, did she drink the whole bowl?"

The emperor heard this and replied, "No, I heard from Imperial Physician Liu that the girl just drank one sip."

When Chef Tian heard what the emperor said, he was delighted: "What about my remaining medicine? Where is my medicine? My beloved horse is still waiting for my medicine to cure his illness."

The emperor was embarrassed to hear him say this and said, "My dear Tian, ​​let me tell you first, don't be angry if you don't agree to me. I won't say it anymore."

After hearing what the emperor said, Chef Tian looked at the emperor in confusion and said to him, "Okay, Your Majesty, I promise I won't be angry."

When the emperor heard this, he said to him, "My dear Tian, ​​listen to me, all your soup is gone.

It was like this. Today, Concubine Jing was accidentally bumped by Chaoyang on her way to bring medicine to me. After Chaoyang bumped into Concubine Jing, she was fine, but the medicine in her hands was all spilled on the ground, without a drop left in her bowl.

So all your medicine is gone."

Chef Tian was so excited when he heard the bad news that he closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.

When the emperor saw this, he was shocked and quickly called for Doctor Liu to come over. When Doctor Liu heard the emperor's call, he quickly ran over with his medicine box on his back.

He saw Chef Tian lying on the ground and quickly examined him carefully.

After a careful examination, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is nothing serious wrong with him. He fainted because his emotions were too much and his body couldn't bear it. He will wake up on his own in a while."

After hearing what Doctor Liu said, the Emperor nodded and said, "That's good, that's good.

The emperor wondered why such things happened every day. So many people fainted. He hoped that no one would faint today.

But today, the heavens seemed to be against the emperor, and nothing went his way. Something had happened to Concubine Rong, and it was a big deal. The people from Chunyue Palace were on their way to find the emperor.

At this time, Qinglu, the personal maid of Concubine Rong, ran to the Imperial Hospital crying. She came to the Imperial Hospital to look for the Emperor, but the door of the Imperial Hospital was closed at that time. When she saw it, she pushed open the door of the Imperial Hospital and rushed in.

When she entered, she saw the emperor. She ran to him and saluted him. She cried and said, "Your servant, I pay my respects to the emperor."

When the emperor saw her crying, he came over and said to her, "Little Qinglu, no need to be polite."

Qinglu, what do you want to talk to me about? Why are you crying and looking for me? Is it my beloved concubine who wants something?"

After hearing what the emperor said, Qinglu wiped the tears from her face and said to the emperor with a sob, "Your Majesty, please go and see my queen. She accidentally fell today and there is blood all over the floor."

The emperor was shocked when he heard what Qinglu said. He quickly shouted, "Doctor Liu, please come with me to Chunyue Palace to see my beloved concubine. Something has happened to my beloved concubine."

After hearing this, Imperial Physician Liu followed the Emperor to Chunyue Palace.

At this time, inside Chunyue Palace, Concubine Rong had fallen unconscious on the ground, and the floor of Chunyue Palace was covered with her blood. The palace servants of Chunyue Palace knelt on the ground and cried when they saw it.

At this time, the emperor and Dr. Liu arrived. The door of Chunyue Palace was closed, and the emperor and Dr. Liu opened the door and walked in.

The emperor saw his beloved concubine unconscious on the ground with blood all over the ground. He fainted due to the overwhelming emotion.

When Doctor Liu saw this, he immediately examined the emperor. He found that the emperor just fainted due to excessive emotions and would wake up in a while.

Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief and went over to treat Concubine Rong. After the treatment, he found that she shouldn't have so much bleeding, and he felt that her bleeding amount was a little abnormal.

He suddenly thought of a special situation that might cause such a large amount of bleeding, so he asked the palace servant next to him: "Is your queen about to have her period?"

The palace maid didn't know why he asked this. She thought for a while and said to him, "Yes, my queen's period is coming. But isn't my queen pregnant? If she's pregnant, won't she have her period? Will she still have her period if she's pregnant?"

Doctor Liu said, "Most people don't have it, but a few pregnant women will have bleeding, just like having a period, which is normal. Send someone to clean the floor quickly. Bring the things used to clean the period to Concubine Rong to clean it for her, as well as the hot water bottle and so on.

The fall caused her fetal position to shift a little. So tomorrow I will ask the Imperial Physician Wang who knows the most about this from the Imperial Hospital to come and check on Concubine Rong.

The palace maid nodded and sent someone to clean up the blood on the ground. She went to prepare the hot water bottle and other things.

At this time, Concubine Rong woke up. After seeing her, she did not go. She helped Concubine Rong to the bed and went to prepare things.

When Imperial Physician Liu saw that Concubine Rong had woken up, he asked her, "Concubine Rong, how are you? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"

Concubine Rong replied weakly, "Doctor Liu, how did you know? Doctor Liu, why did I bleed so much? Will my child be in trouble? My child, my child."

Doctor Liu saw her like this and said to her, "Don't be nervous, Imperial Concubine. Your child is fine, no problem."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "Where is the emperor? Didn't he come? Didn't he come to see me?"

Doctor Liu said, "My Lady, the Emperor has come to see you. But he fainted because he saw you fainted, and he will wake up soon.

"The emperor was taken back to Qianfu Palace by Eunuch Shun.

After hearing what Imperial Physician Liu said, Concubine Rong said to him, "What? The Emperor is in a coma. No, I have to go to Qianfu Palace and see the Emperor." She was about to get up from the bed, but she couldn't because she didn't have the strength.

When Doctor Liu saw the Empress like this, he said to her, "You should have a good rest, Empress Rong. The Emperor will come to see you soon."

When Concubine Rong heard what he said, she nodded and said, "Doctor Liu, I want to rest."

Doctor Liu then walked out.

He had just reached the gate of the Imperial Hospital when Princess Chaoyang came to look for him again. When she saw him, she quickly pulled him away. She pulled him to the lotus garden in the Qian Study.

It turned out that the fisherman saw his foster mother wake up and held her to continue painting in the lotus garden, but his foster mother ate the wrong food again. She ate the lotus seeds in the lotus garden and fainted after eating.

When Doctor Liu saw this, he said, "No, this girl must go to the Imperial Hospital immediately. I have to prescribe medicine for her and leave quickly."

When the fisherman heard this, he immediately picked up his foster mother and ran to the Imperial Hospital. On the way to the Imperial Hospital, they met Empress Ru, who was holding her daughter. When she saw Doctor Liu, she said to him, "Doctor Liu, you are here just in time. Come and check on my daughter. She has no idea what she ate and is now in a coma."

When Imperial Physician Liu heard this, he said to Empress Rufei: "Empress Rufei,

Please wait a moment, wait for me to arrive at the Imperial Hospital and open the door, prepare the medicine for her, and then I will examine her, okay?"

After hearing this, Concubine Ru nodded.

After a while, they all arrived at the Imperial Hospital.

After Liu opened the door and entered the Imperial Hospital, he went straight into Han's medical room. He took the herbal powders from the 4th row of the 4rd column and the 3rd row of the th column on the medicine cabinet. He mixed them together. It became a plaster, and he applied it to the foster mother's belly. The foster mother's complexion improved a lot.

Then he gave the medicine to his foster mother to drink.

Then he went to treat the daughter of Concubine Ru. Concubine Ru's daughter was a cute orange cat. Doctor Liu was dumbfounded when he saw her. He said to Concubine Ru: "Concubine Ru, your daughter is an orange cat. How come I have never heard of it?"

After hearing what Doctor Liu said, Concubine Ru replied, "Yes, the emperor only has one daughter, Princess Chaoyang, and I didn't give him a daughter. I gave him a son. This daughter is my pet. Don't you know? Everyone in the palace knows it."

After hearing this, Doctor Liu said to Concubine Ru, “Concubine Ru, your daughter is a cat. I really didn’t know that. If I had known, I would not have asked you to wait for me.

Lady Rufei, please go find Doctor Li. Doctor Li can treat other pets. I can’t.”

After listening to what Doctor Liu said, Empress Rufei said to him, "Okay, Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu, do you know where Doctor Li is?"

When Doctor Liu heard this, he replied, "Madam Rufei, I don't know where Doctor Li is. I don't know what happened today. Usually, the doctors are all here at the Imperial Hospital.

I don’t know what happened today, but no one was here, so I just met Doctor Han.”

When Concubine Ru heard what Liu Taiyi said, she said to him, "Don't you know what to do? What about my daughter? Seeing her like this makes me so heartbroken."

At this time, outside the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Li came back happily with a fishing rod in one hand and two fish in the other. He went fishing. He had a good catch today. He caught two big carps.

He opened the door and walked in. When Doctor Liu saw him, he quickly pulled Doctor Li over. Doctor Li was very confused. He was holding a fishing rod in one hand and a fish in the other, and was pulled in by Doctor Liu.

When Doctor Li entered, he saw Concubine Ru and the half-dead orange cat in her arms. Concubine Ru was delighted when she saw him and said to him, "Doctor Li, please come and see my daughter. What happened to her? I didn't give her anything special to eat."

When Doctor Li heard this, he quickly put down the fish and fishing rod in his hand and went to Doctor Han's medical room to get some herbs. He ground the herbs into powder and poured water into it for the kitten to drink. He was relieved when he saw the kitten's complexion improve.

She said to Concubine Ru, "Concubine Ru, please think carefully about what you fed it today. I can cure it this time, but it will eat it again next time. I may not have enough time to feed it."

When Ru Fei Niang heard this, she said, "It didn't eat anything special today. Oh, I remember it sneaked out for a while today, so it might have eaten something bad during this time."

When Doctor Li heard this, he said to Concubine Ru, "Concubine Ru, you should lock it up or send someone to follow it."

The Empress Rufei said, "Doctor Li, you are a physician. I will listen to you. From now on, I will lock it up properly and prevent it from sneaking out by itself."

When Doctor Li heard this, he said to Concubine Ru, "Concubine Ru, I need to give it medicine for a few more days before it gets better. It will stay in the Imperial Hospital for now. I will return it to you alive and kicking."

Empress Rufei heard this and nodded to Doctor Li. She touched her daughter's head, reluctant to leave it here, and returned to her Lihuayue Palace.

...............

Late at night, in the Imperial Hospital, the foster mother woke up in a daze. She looked at the princess in front of her and said to her, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry."

Her stomach also growled, making a gurgling sound.

After hearing this, the princess smiled knowingly and said gently, "Qingdai, you are hungry now, right? I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare food for you. Wait a moment."

After a while, the people from the imperial kitchen brought the food. The foster mother ate the food and went back to sleep. When the princess saw this, she returned to her Chaoyang Palace.

At this time, the emperor in Qianfu Palace also woke up. When he woke up, he asked the chief eunuch Shungong, "Little Shunzi, how is my beloved concubine?"

Eunuch Shun replied, "Your Majesty. Concubine Rong is fine. The child is fine too. You can rest assured. Go to sleep. It's already late at night."

After hearing what Eunuch Shun said, the emperor felt relieved and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

When Eunuch Shun saw this, he went out.

At this time, a one-eyed kitten was sleeping on the beam of the Imperial Hospital, holding a jade necklace in its arms. The jade necklace belonged to the Queen Mother.

I don’t know what will happen tomorrow because of it.

At this time in the Queen Mother's Palace.

The lights are on as brightly as if it were daytime.

They were all looking for one thing, the empress dowager's jade necklace as a dowry.
