Chapter 8
"What did you say just now?" As soon as Li Zhongxian finished speaking, Gu Xizhao stood up, even more excited than Zhao Jin. She threw the little pitiful girl alone in the imperial garden last night, and was worried all night. Now that she really heard that someone was surprised, how could she still make others think too much, "Who is the one who dared to attack the prince after being brave enough to attack the prince?"
Fortunately, Zhao Jin is now focused on the news that Zhao Sansi is injured, and he does not think too much about Gu Xizhao's attitude.
"Emperor, Empress, don't worry. I just got the news. Guard Duan has sent the person directly to the Imperial Hospital."
"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and wait for me to change clothes and take me to see you." Zhao Jin's lips trembled and he stood in person. Gu Xizhao helped him, and was anxious, "Your Majesty, you are now ill. I'm going to see the second prince. I'm going to take your place."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are not feeling well now. The Imperial Doctor also reminds you not to get angry and to get well with your illness. You..."
"I just ordered you to bring people to see me yesterday. This happened to me today. It was obvious that someone did it on purpose..." Zhao Jin interrupted Li Zhongxian in a hurry, and coughed again, but he still wanted to say, "Check, check, check, find out for me. Concubine Xi and the concubines in the harem, you give me all the time, check carefully."
This matter naturally needs to be investigated, but Gu Xizhao is even more worried about another thing now. After replying, he asked Li Zhongxian to take good care of Zhao Jin and hurried to the Imperial Hospital.
"My minister Duan Fei..."
"There is no need to be too polite to guard Duan." Gu Xizhao was anxious now and gave up Duan Fei's tribute before he could finish his tribute. "Where is the person?"
Duan Fei: "Inside, Doctor Zhang and Doctor Lin just came from Chengqian Palace, so I waited outside."
Gu Xizhao was worried about Zhao Sansi's identity and stood outside for a while, but finally got into the house.
When the imperial physicians in the room saw her coming in, except for the imperial physician Zhang who was still taking the pulse, the others came to salute one after another. Gu Xizhao waved her hand impatiently and looked at the person lying on the simple bed. Seeing that she was in good clothes, she fainted and breathed a little relieved, "How is the person?"
"I examined his eyes and also looked at his nose. Except for the red marks on the carotid artery, there was no blood on the body, and there were no other wounds in the conspicuous areas. I guessed that I was just knocked unconscious by the palm of my neck." After Doctor Zhang looked into the pulse, he stood up and saluted to the person. He glanced at Gu Xizhao, and then hesitated: "However, this connection is a bit confusing to me..."
Gu Xizhao looked at the person on the bed and interrupted him, "If he fainted by just being hit by someone, he should have woken up by pinching the person. Why haven't he woken up?"
Doctor Zhang was stunned for a moment, and saw Gu Xizhao's Liuye eyes looking straight at him, and then quickly lowered his head and stopped talking about the pulse. "Maid Duan said that when the person was sent over, he pinched the Renzhong. He felt briefly awake at that time, but he fainted again. I just wanted to tell the imperial concubine that the man's forehead and palms were hot, his cheeks were red, and he was afraid that he would catch a cold and his blood and energy were weak, so he didn't wake up for a long time."
Hearing this, Gu Xizhao reached out to touch Zhao Sansi's forehead. It turned out to be hot. I remembered that she had been wearing this clothes and slid into the crack of the rock for a night last night, most of which she caught a cold and became hot.
If this is the case, if there is high heat, you have to wipe your body with ice cubes of alcohol to cool down. You must take off your clothes.
Gu Xizhao quickly thought about it in her heart. In order to keep this secret for this person, she had to give it a try. "You can decoct the medicine first, feed it to the person, and then send it to Changle Palace, and this palace will take care of it myself."
Several imperial physicians couldn't help but look at the person on the bed, especially the younger ones. They were confused at the moment and didn't understand what the person on the bed was, so they actually made Concubine Xi take so seriously.
Zhao Jin is about to die and wants to support the second prince to the throne. Now that people are found, they will be sure to issue an imperial edict to make the second prince the crown prince. This little prince, who had no sense of existence in the Cedar Palace, will soon become a person that everyone in the courtiers and the harem must know.
"My lords, you must also do your best. The person lying on this bed today is the second prince."
As soon as she finished speaking, except Gu Xizhao, everyone else in the room knelt down, "My eyes are stupid." No one in the court officials is a fool, especially the TaiDiyi Zhang and TaiDiyi Lin who were asking for the pulse of Zhao Jin. They knew that the disease was so great that it would not be cured. The second prince in front of him would be the emperor tomorrow.
Gu Xizhao spared their courtesy and told them to decoct medicine for Zhao Sansi soon, so that the other imperial physicians would retreat, but the only imperial physician who left the pulse was taken.
Physician Zhang has been an official in the palace for decades. Not only is he the leader of the Imperial Hospital, but he is also a wise man. Seeing that Gu Xizhao kept him down, he took the initiative to break the deadlock, "What do you want the imperial concubine to say to her?"
Gu Xizhao moved his gaze away from Zhao Sansi's little face that was still tense and tightly looked at Doctor Zhang, which was very meaningful. "Doctor Zhang just said that the second prince's pulse was a bit puzzled, but what made you puzzled?"
Doctor Zhang looked hesitant and wandered for a while before he said: "The second prince's pulse is shaking and weak, which is a normal pulse with fever. But I also found that the second prince's pulse is strong and floating, the right pulse is smooth and strong, and the left pulse is weak and weak... This is where I am puzzled."
Gu Xizhao raised her eyebrows, "I don't understand your jargon. What Doctor Zhang has to say so, why not say it bluntly."
"Doctors, only by looking, listening, asking, and touching, and combining the four attacks can the disease be diagnosed. Anyone who studies medicine must learn one thing when taking the pulse: the sky is not in the northwest, the yang is south and the yin is north, the gu Zuo Dashun man, the right is Dashun woman, the man is weak in size, and the woman is weak in size." As soon as he said this, Doctor Zhang simply gritted his teeth and said, "In other words, the pulse of the second prince is not normal on the second prince. If it is replaced by the imperial concubine, it is..."
"Bold." Gu Xizhao stood up and scolded her. Although she knew that she had kneeled down, her face was very calm. She paused and slowed down again, "Doctor Zhang, please be careful."
"What the imperial concubine taught her is the lesson."
Gu Xizhao looked at him and did not ask him to get up. Instead, he asked again: "If someone asks about this disease of the Second Prince today, what will Doctor Zhang say?"
Doctor Zhang was stunned for a moment before saying, "The second prince was knocked out by the thief, and he was stained with cold wind and blood, and his qi and blood were weak, so he was unconscious."
"But there are other ones?"
“Nothing else.”
"really?"
"really."
Gu Xizhao raised her hand slightly, "Doctor Zhang please get up."
"Concubine Xie is not blamed for the grace." The imperial physician Zhang then stood up. It was said in the palace that Concubine Xi was a vixen who deceived the king, but he never felt that compared to the concubines in the harem who only knew how to cry and behave in person in person, Concubine Xi was more noble than the concubines who were jealous in front of him. Compared to the queen who was recuperating and chanting Buddha's name all day long, Concubine Xi had more courage to get up and fall.
Such a woman is naturally charming and is also a coquettish person who is flirting with, and is neat and straightforward in her work, so she deserves to be favored.
Gu Xizhao shook his head, "It's because I want to thank Doctor Zhang. In the future, the second prince will ask Doctor Zhang to take care of him."
There are many shameful secrets in the deep palace, especially the Imperial Hospital. I don’t know how many evils I have committed in the royal blood. If possible, Doctor Zhang would rather pretend not to know. In this palace, the less you know, the longer you live. However, he did not want to watch the prosperous times created by the current generation are again in a series of open and secret struggles because there is no successor.
He believed that Concubine Xi must have understood this. Even if she wanted to support the second prince on the bed as a puppet emperor, and to be a queen mother who truly controls the power in the future, it would be better than being abused by others.
After a long time, Doctor Zhang bowed his head and said, "I obey the order."
"I trust Dr. Zhang, so I entrust my second prince to you. I hope Dr. Zhang will not let my trust down."
"I should do my best."
"Get out."
When the person left, Gu Xizhao turned around and looked at Zhao Sansi on the bed, touched her burning red face, and then rubbed a cloth towel on her forehead, whispered: "If it weren't for your pitifulness, I wouldn't have to work hard for you."
The decoction was quickly decomposed. Gu Xizhao didn't think the medicine smelled bad now. She watched the person pour the medicine for Zhao Sansi, so she sent the person into his palace and lived in the side hall on the right.
She was not busy with Zhao Jin when she sent the second prince to her palace for recuperation. When she left the Imperial Hospital, she asked Duan Fei to send news to Zhao Jin.
As for what Zhao Jin would think, she had already thought of the words in her heart. If he believed it or not, then we will talk about it. Now we will take care of this little disaster.
The imperial physician said that if you have taken the medicine and sweating, the fever will subside quickly. Gu Xizhao ordered people to prepare two new quilts for the palace servants and guard them by the bed.
In the evening, Zhao Sansi, who had been drinking medicine three times, was half-drowning and yelling that it was so cold. Gu Xizhao ordered someone to add a quilt and burn the fire in the room. After another two hours, Zhao Sansi began to sweat heavily and kicked the quilt to get out.
Gu Xizhao followed the instructions of the imperial physician and ordered Chan'er to help feed water while ordering Zhu'er to suppress the person. When the temperature in Zhao Sansi's body dropped, he woke up in a daze, and then ordered the person to remove the two quilts.
After this trouble, it was a dim day outside.
