Chapter 29: Unexpected Gains, Unwelcome Requests
"Doctor, how is my second sister?"
Shi Rongyue became anxious when he saw the old man with white beard taking the patient's pulse for a long time without saying anything.
It seems that there has been some progress, but maybe she is not seriously ill, otherwise she will be moved out of the palace. Not to mention the hard work she has put in, how can she escape from her status without Shi Nanxi marrying the prince on her behalf?
Shi Nanxi was also a little nervous, but unlike Shi Rongyue, she knew that her original body was held in the womb for too long when she was born, so she was born weak, had low resistance and was prone to illness, but she did not have any other serious illnesses.
She was worried that the medicine she had just taken might have some other problem.
At this moment, Concubine Ping's eyes flickered slightly.
The prince's eyes never left Shi Rongyue, and his expression became even softer. Who doesn't like a kind and caring woman who loves her sisters?
Old Liu put down his hand and did not answer Shi Rongyue's question first. Instead, he took out a silver needle and pierced Shi Nanxi's head a few times. Then he stroked his beard and replied:
"Princess, don't worry. Your second sister is fine."
Hearing this, everyone except Concubine Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment they heard Old Liu change his tone and say:
"But has your second sister been overworked recently? And when I took her pulse, I found some signs of catching a cold, which would cause her to feel heavy, dizzy and tired."
Shi Rongyue glanced at Shi Nanxi and nodded.
"Doctor, you are really good at taking pulses. My second sister and I are the selected girls. We have been learning etiquette and manners with the maids recently. My second sister has been weak since she was a child, so she was a little uncomfortable for a while, but she started taking medicine yesterday. Is it because the medicine is ineffective?"
Shi Nanxi had a needle stuck in her head and it was inconvenient for her to speak, but she turned her eyes to Old Liu.
Old Liu stroked his beard. The reason why he took the patient's pulse for a long time was because he realized that the other party's medicine did not seem to be suitable for the disease, but there were no other problems, so he took the patient's pulse for a while longer.
The final conclusion was that the medicine the other party took was ineffective.
Although he did not work in the Imperial Medical Bureau like his son Liu Yuanpan, he was over sixty years old this year and had been practicing medicine among the folks for decades. He had seen countless people and things, and when he heard the other party say that it was a re-selected concubine, he immediately had an idea in his mind.
This is probably due to someone's secret plot.
Normally, he shouldn't be involved in such matters, but as a doctor, he was kind-hearted, so he pondered for a moment and said:
"The second princess is showing signs of a cold, and the medicine she had before is not enough."
As he said this, he pulled out the silver needle from Shi Nanxi's head, put it away and asked:
"How does Ergege feel now?"
Not to mention that Shi Nanxi really felt that her body suddenly became a lot lighter and her dizziness was gone. Chinese medicine is indeed profound.
"I feel much better, thank you, Mr. Liu." She looked grateful.
Old Liu stroked his beard with a smile, thinking about helping people to the end, and said:
“That’s good, but I just took the pulse and found that the pulse of the second princess is soft and weak, and the qi and blood are insufficient. It should be because she was held in the womb for too long when she was born, which led to her weakness. Fortunately, she has been taking care of herself.
But now that Gege is getting older and stronger, the original prescription needs to be adjusted. I will prescribe a new prescription later. After the cold symptoms subside, I will remove one or two herbs. If you insist on taking it, it will not cure the root cause, but it will greatly relieve the symptoms. "
As soon as these words came out, Shi Nanxi's face was filled with excitement. This time, her true feelings were revealed. She originally just wanted to use this to verify the truth of A Zao's words, but she didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.
Shi Rongyue was relieved now. The prince was also happy that his future wife's sister was recovering. Only Concubine Ping almost lost her composure on the spot.
Originally, he had been thinking that since Shi Nanxi was not in good health, he would have had the opportunity to move her out of the palace. However, now, he had helped the other party. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but on the surface, he had to pretend to be happy for Shi Nanxi.
"It's okay, that's really... That's great. I was just worried that I might have been blown by the cold wind outside the palace. I felt really guilty about it, but now I'm relieved. Elder Liu, go get the prescription quickly."
Old Liu bowed and was about to go to the table to write a prescription. At this time, Concubine Ping remembered something and suddenly called out to him:
"I didn't expect that Elder Liu's medical skills were so superb that he could cure the weak Second Princess with just one injection and restore her health. Doesn't that mean my little prince can be saved?"
The situation of the little prince is completely different from that of the second lady. There is no cure for him and he is just being kept alive with medicine.
Elder Liu paused and stroked his beard:
"I will do my best."
Princess Ping looked very confident:
"The emperor specially invited Elder Liu to treat the young prince. I believe in the emperor's judgment. Now I can rest assured."
Old Liu didn't say anything else. He bowed silently and went to the table to write a prescription.
Shi Nanxi noticed this scene and her eyelashes trembled. It came from modern times, and she knew that in history, the little prince of Concubine Ping eventually died young.
I think Kangxi was aware of the little prince's situation, and he invited this commoner, Mr. Liu, out of a fatherly heart, with the attitude of giving it one last try.
Even if the other party fails to cure the little prince in the end, he will not be punished, but Concubine Ping may not necessarily let him go.
Especially after what I did, Concubine Ping would definitely vent her anger on me.
Then I remembered that this old man Liu had a son who was a court judge.
Shinanxi lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.
Soon, Old Liu wrote the prescription. Hongying stepped forward and carefully put it away. Old Liu returned to the side hall again.
At this time, the prince, who had been silent, spoke gently:
"It seems that I have come to the right place today. With this old man Liu here, I think there is hope for the young prince's health."
Naturally, he also knew the true physical condition of the little prince born to Concubine Ping. Compared with other princes, he cared more about this little prince who came from the same mother's family as him, and he came to visit him sincerely.
However, Concubine Ping didn't believe it.
How can it be?
In his heart, he was so afraid that his little prince would die young, so that no one in the clan would support his little prince and threaten him, but everyone in the palace was acting.
She sighed sadly when she heard this:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's all because of my poor health that my little prince has been weak since birth. Every time I see my little prince vomiting, I..."
She picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, seeming to be very self-blaming.
The prince was comforted by this:
"Your Highness, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. Little Prince is a lucky man. Everything will be fine."
Shi Nanxi glanced at the prince.
At that time, he was still the only crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. He was both civil and military, handsome, loved by Kangxi, trusted by his subordinates, and full of vigor and confidence. He was not worried at all that his status would be affected if the little prince was not okay.
Shi Rongyue also took a look at the prince and knew that although he looked handsome and gentle, he was actually amorous, lustful, violent and cruel person. He was nothing like her Sisi, who was abstinent, taciturn, steady and capable.
At this time, Concubine Ping seemed to be comforted. She put away her handkerchief and looked relieved:
"Thank you for your comfort, Your Highness. However, I am still a little worried. I just heard from Elder Liu that Princess Shi Er was also born with a weak body, but now she has grown into such a big girl. It seems that she is a very blessed person!"
She looked at Shi Nanxi who was sitting quietly, her eyes flickering slightly.
Shi Nanxi felt the gaze on her, raised her eyes slightly, her gaze fell on the other person's chin, and said timidly:
"It is true that I have been weak since childhood, and it is all thanks to the care of my family that I was able to grow up healthy." What is this person planning?
But Concubine Ping didn't think so.
"That requires good fortune." She said, as if in embarrassment: "I have an unwelcome request. Could you trouble Shi Ergege to share my worries?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi's alarm went into overdrive.
