Chapter Thirty-One: Picking Green Palace

Shicui Palace is the residence of Concubine Yang, located on the westmost side of the Yeting. The Tang Dynasty imperial palace is generally called Taiji Hall, with Liangyi Hall as the central axis. On the east side is the Prince's East Palace and on the west side is the concubine's Yeting.

Dozens of palace people held lamps and shone brightly in front of the hall. On both sides, the vegetable gardens opened against the wall courtyard were planted. The flowers and plants planted were neatly pruned, and there were no broken leaves. Most of them were autumn yellow chrysanthemums, and the other flowers were slightly less. The fence supported by the vines was very simple, somewhat similar to the farmer's house, with yellowed and shriveled soybeans hanging down from the soil.

Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains!

This is on the west side of Xiyeting, which belongs to the most remote place in the palace and the most shabby place. If we talk about Yang Fei's situation, she definitely does not have the honor of the "Four Concubines" after the death of Empress Changsun of the Zhenguan Dynasty. In fact, it is not that Yang Fei is dormant, but that this woman has turned into a "hermit" after experiencing national hatred and family grudges.

Sometimes not fighting is silent struggle.

"Your Majesty, the third prince's high fever does not subside, which is indeed a characteristic of the epidemic." Doctor Xu gritted his teeth and reminded him in front.

"It's nothing!" Li Yuan smiled slightly. He knew Doctor Xu's concerns. Death of a prince who did not pay much attention to it would have little impact on him, but if the Supreme Emperor had become sick and died today, he would really be unable to escape his death penalty!

After a pause, Li Yuan continued, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. What's more, the emperor? Since I believe in my own opinion, how could I take the anger of Doctor Xu even if I am seriously ill?"

Doctor Xu had no choice but to retreat in disappointment and sighed with his sleeves down.

"What my father-in-law wants to do, my wife naturally cannot stop it. However, my father-in-law is the lord of the nine fives, how can I take risks easily? My wife is advanced!" Changsun Wugui shook his head lightly, and the phoenix crown and robe robe stepped into the warm pavilion in the Shicui Hall. (Phoenix crown: the ritual crown worn by ancient noble women. Because the phoenix is ​​the supreme emperor like the dragon, it can only be worn by the queen and the princess. Xiapeng: colorful clothes draped on her shoulders. The phoenix crown and robe robe are the dress of the ancient queen. Later, Empress Ma advised Zhu Yuanzhang to allow women to wear it on the day of marriage. The groom's top scorer's uniform is the same.)

"This..." Li Yuan was shocked. He was familiar with history and knew that King Ke of Wu would not die, so he was ready to enter Shicui Palace. If he knew that this was an epidemic, he would not dare to enter even if he gave him a hundred courage. He was not tired of living yet! But Changsun Wugui didn't know, but she still chose to step in.

Li Yuan felt a little moved and immediately entered Shicui Hall.

The Shicui Palace is decorated in a simple manner. Li Ke, who looks seven or eight years old, is lying on the Hu bed leaning against the wall. The pink gauze tent is half covered, and his pale cheeks are bloodless. However, a bit of handsome edges can be seen from his tender face. His little hands are unconsciously pressing against the corners of the soft quilt and slightly bent.

Next to it was a woman with a slightly pink and beautiful appearance, crying in a low voice, but she was kneeling on the carpet. Her clothes were not gorgeous, and she only had a wooden fork on her head to wrap her black hair.

It is no different, it should be Yang Fei, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Changsun Wugui gently patted Yang Fei's pink back and persuaded softly: "Sister Yang Fei, don't cry anymore. Ke'er will be fine. Look, father-in-law is also here to come to see Ke'er."

Hearing this sentence, Concubine Yang fell to the bed in shock. With the support of Changsun Wugui, she stopped the fright and said with a trembling mouth: "I will participate... Your Majesty."

"No gift!" Li Yuan frowned. Why was Yang Fei afraid of him? He also knew very well that this old fox destroyed the Sui Dynasty. How could the princess who destroyed the country be afraid of him?

Speaking of which, Li Yuan was a little sympathetic to Concubine Yang, because in the history books, Yang Concubine Yang only wrote a few words, with only one sentence: "My mother, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui!" If it weren't for the King of Wu who said "the fruit is like me", the historians had a lot of thoughts about him, and by the way, it involved his mother's noble life experience, this poor woman might have dissipated into the world.

It is said that Concubine Yang is pitiful because Yang Guang died in March of the second year of Yining (618 BC), and Li Yuan ascended the throne in May of the same year, but Li Ke was born the following year!

In other words, Concubine Yang was pregnant with Li Ke during the mourning period, which was very sad. At first glance, it looked nothing. In fact, in ancient times when Confucianism was prevalent, even meat was not allowed to be eaten for three years, and shaving was not allowed, let alone something like a slap.

Looking at Concubine Yang's body trembling because of fear, Li Yuan said, "I happened to read a few medical books. I can cure Ke'er's illness."

"Really?" Concubine Yang seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and was overjoyed, and even her voice suddenly became louder.

In this cold palace, Concubine Yang chose to live in the remote Shicui Hall, and it was so simple inside. Perhaps the only sustenance in her heart was Li Ke, and her family affection was the most sincere.

"Your Majesty, the third prince has taken several decoctions prescribed by Weichen. These decoctions are all good prescriptions summarized by famous doctors of all dynasties. I dare not speak nonsense. However, mediocre people ruin their families, mediocre people ruin their country, and quack doctors ruin their people!" said Doctor Xu.

"Will I not know the seriousness?" Li Yuan glared at Doctor Xu fiercely. Although he knew that he had good intentions, he was afraid that Li Ke's condition would worsen.

In fact, Doctor Xu is the most typical Doctor in ancient times. He has a compassionate heart and does his best to save people. However, his condition exceeds expectations and he will choose to exaggerate his condition in order to save his life. Some people may not understand that they can't find other good doctors! The problem is that these Doctors are very confident. They are all the top doctors in the country. Can others cure difficult and complicated diseases that they cannot cure?

Doctor Xu was so disappointed that he was about to retreat.

But Li Yuan grabbed him and said, "Go and find me some moldy steamed buns, the more the better."

Moldy steamed buns!?

Doctor Xu was confused and was tangled. He was stunned for a while and said, "Your Majesty, is this the prescription? Will moldy steamed buns be eaten to death?"

"Haha!" Li Yuan sneered and said, "Moldy steamed buns can kill people, but who told you that I want Ke'er to eat steamed buns? Snake venom, scorpion venom can kill people, but why can snake venom, scorpion venom be used as medicine?"

"That's because the dosage is small, and the water and fire are neutralized." Doctor Xu was not sure and said in a low voice.

Most of those who study traditional Chinese medicine will read the Zhouyi, and most of the pharmacology is related to the Yin and Yang Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. For example, the lungs belong to metal, the heart belongs to fire, and the liver belongs to earth... Some poisons can be used as medicine by neutralization.

However, this thing depends on experience. The experience accumulated by hundreds of people with dead people is recorded in medical books. If it fails, it will be ruined.

"Bah!" Li Yuan spitted and cursed: "You soak the snake venom in vinegar, and then try it out for animals. Can it be poisoned to death? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find me moldy steamed buns, the more the better."

Snake venom is a protein poison. It enters the blood and causes platelets to coagulate. The flowing blood will eventually coagulate into jelly-like gels, and then the human body will suffocate and die. (The function of platelets is to coagulate blood and heal wounds. The function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen.)

Doctor Xu looked shy and shut up, and he was extremely dissatisfied. He thought that he would do an experiment after returning to the Imperial Medical Office. He didn't believe that the half-baked Emperor could compare to him, an old doctor who had been immersed in decades.

Under the order of Changsun Wugui, the palace became completely busy and was looking for moldy steamed buns everywhere, but they could only try their luck.

Of course, the biggest gain is the Guanglu Temple, which is in charge of the imperial court's wine, liquor and food shame, and the Shangshi Bureau inside the palace.
