The maid bent down and picked up the medicine box, saying, "I will carry it for you. It's getting late. Please follow me, young doctor. The old doctor will be served by the eunuchs."
Yingbao had no choice but to follow the palace maid to the side hall.
There is a compartment in the side hall, but there is no door or even a curtain. There is only a screen at the entrance of the compartment to block the view from outside.
It was already dark, and no one knew what time it was. A palace maid held a lamp to illuminate the way for Yingbao.
There was a bunk bed, a small table and two chairs in the compartment.
There was a toilet in the corner of the wall, right at the end of the bunk bed, separated by a curtain.
After Yingbao finished washing up, a palace maid brought her tea and food.
The meal was simple, a bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns, and two side dishes.
The side dishes are a plate of shredded pickles and a plate of boiled vegetables.
Yingbao seriously suspected that someone was deliberately treating her harshly, so she asked, "What do you usually eat?"
A palace maid said, "I eat the same food as the young doctor."
"Oh, what about Yao Yuanzheng and the others?"
"It is the same as these," the maid replied.
Yingbao was not discouraged and asked again: "What does the king eat?"
The maid was silent for a moment, then said, "The King of Dai is different."
Yingbao understood that it turned out that the palace was just stingy by nature and was not targeting any particular person intentionally.
She quickly finished a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun with pickles and vegetables, picked up the other steamed bun, and said to the two palace maids standing beside her: "I'm done, you guys hurry up and clean up."
Shaking the steamed bun in his hand, he said, "Save this for when I'm hungry."
Life here is not easy, and I have to treat every steamed bun carefully.
The palace maid's eyes twitched, and she put the bowls and chopsticks into the food box and carried them out of the compartment.
Yingbao looked at the remaining maids and suddenly asked, "Do you know what happened to that new maid?"
The maid replied, "She came in at the order of the Queen Mother. The attendant ordered her to go into the inner hall and serve the King of Dai."
Following the Queen's orders
Why did the Queen let Chen Tiantian serve the King of Dai closely
Yingbao just felt something was wrong.
Considering the experience in the Xiao Mansion, it is estimated that someone had seen Chen Tiantian in advance and then sent her into the palace.
Could it be that someone used Chen Tiantian as the drug guide for the current king
Or maybe Chen Tiantian had a noble fate, and the Queen sent her to King Dai in order to help her son avoid evil and increase his fortune.
After all, that's what it says in the storybook, saying that Chen Tiantian is blessed with good fortune and a noble destiny, and that she is the reincarnation of the Nine-Sky Phoenix.
That's definitely the case.
Thinking of this, Yingbao felt a little unhappy.
He took great pains to treat the skeleton boy, but in a blink of an eye all the credit was taken by Chen Tiantian.
Why
Just because she is the heroine in the storybook, does that mean I deserve to be her stepping stone
Ah! She just doesn't believe it.
After the two palace maids left, Yingbao lay down, watching the oil lamp slowly go out, and quickly covered her head with a thin blanket.
He quietly entered the cave, picked a handful of Wudingzhi, crushed it in a stone mortar, and then divided it into several porcelain bottles for later use.
Many of the melons in the cave were ripe. She picked the ripe ones and put them in a basket.
The next day, Yingbao didn't wait for the palace maids to come in. She hurried to use the toilet, then put on her clothes, shoes, combed her hair, and got herself ready.
After a while, two palace maids came in with water for Yingbao to wash.
Just after she finished washing up, someone came to urge her to go to the main hall.
The palace maid carried the medicine box for Yingbao and sent her to the main hall before leaving.
Doctor Li waved to Yingbao sleepily, "Come here quickly."
Yingbao ran over and asked, "Grandpa Li, what's the matter?"
Doctor Li looked around and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have those pills?"
Yingbao nodded: "There are still some, but not many."
Doctor Li: "Director Yao is leading a few pharmacists to study your pills."
"Oh. Let them research it however they want." His pills contained not only ginseng, poria, atractylodes, angelica, rehmannia root, etc., but also Wudingzhi. No matter how hard they tried, they could not figure it out.
Yingbao looked around and didn't see Wen Jingyan, so she asked, "Grandpa Li, why hasn't Grandpa Wen come back yet?"
She went into the inner hall for a while yesterday, and when she came out she didn't see Grandpa Wen, and she didn't know where he had gone.
Doctor Li: "Senior Brother Wen has returned to the Imperial Hospital. Someone is already guarding here. He has to go to the Imperial Hospital to take up his post."
As the two were talking, they saw Dean Yao waving at her, "Yingbao, come here."
Yingbao ran over.
Yao Yuanzheng: "Take a look at the pulse case of the King of Dai first."
Yingbao nodded and followed Yao Yuanzheng to check the pulse of King Dai.
She was startled to see several piles of documents piled high on the table.
This... is too much. Where should I start
"Which one is this year?" Yingbao asked.
Director Yao took two large books and said, "Here. One is for daily living, and the other is for daily pulse diagnosis."
Yingbao took it, spread it out and examined it carefully.
From the first day of the Lunar New Year this year until yesterday, the daily living book corresponded to the pulse diagnosis, and all the details were recorded.
This generation of kings is really pampered. Every time they eat one more bite of food, drink one more sip of water, or go to the toilet one more time, all of them have to be recorded.
Finally, Yingbao saw the record that he had eaten a small bowl of golden ear that day.
If this happened to someone else, there would be absolutely no problem, but this person was a pampered person. He ate too fine food every day, and his lung disease had not yet fully recovered. These three things together almost cost him his life.
In addition, because the King of Dai had been taking medicine for many years, he not only had a bad stomach, but his kidney energy was also weaker than others.
Yingbao shook her head, thinking that she had overthought it.
Even if I feed him Wudingzhi, his health will not improve immediately.
He needs long-term nurturing.
He was born with a weak constitution and unfortunately contracted lung disease at a very young age. According to that storybook, no one knows how he grew up to adulthood or how he had children.
The doctor named Lin was also unlucky. He failed to please his master and was thrown into prison. Even if the King of Dai was cured, it was estimated that he would not be released.
Yingbao paid close attention to the pulse records of recent days and compared them with the previous condition. She was sure that this generation of king had problems with his internal organs.
I guess the more medicine I take, the worse my condition will be.
The only solution now is to stop taking all medicines and use special dietary supplements, plus my own Wudingzhi, which should be able to restore him.
After all, he is still young and his body is in good health. As long as he is given time to recover, living for another 30 or 40 years should not be a problem.
After examining the pulse case, Yingbao went to the inner hall to visit King Dai.
As soon as I entered, I saw Chen Tiantian and two palace maids standing beside King Dai's bed.
Ying Bao frowned, turned to Yao Yuanzheng who had followed, and said, "Remove all the incense in the Dai Wang's room, and ask these palace maids to leave. From now on, only two eunuchs will serve here."
Yao Yuan was wondering: "Why do you need eunuchs to serve you?"
He understood removing the incense, but what did it mean not to have palace maids here
Ying Bao said calmly, "The King of Dai is already weak and has a lot of Yin energy, and the palace girls are also Yin. The two are mutually exclusive, and the King of Dai's condition will only get worse."
