Seeing Man Bao's insistence, Xiao Yuan could only cough lightly and said, "Physician Lu, why don't you go to the main hall to see Your Majesty?"
The emperor's illness improved, Wei Zhi and Zhao Guogong went out of the palace early in the morning to go home to rest, and there was no need to stay at the main hall for the imperial physician.
At this time, asking Imperial Physician Lu to go is entirely to dismiss him.
Doctor Lu shook his sleeves and left angrily.
Man Bao snorted twice, and Xiao Yuanzheng and the other three looked down at her. If the other colleagues were like this, they would definitely not be able to help being angry, but now looking at the angry Zhou Man, They were not angry.
Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head, sat down on the main seat, and then asked: "Little Doctor Zhou, you may have found out what nitrate is?"
"I found it," Man Bao's consciousness sank into the system mailbox and glanced at Teacher Mo's reply, and said, "Nitrate is the crystallization left by boiling seawater, and thenardite is re-extracted nitrate, and there are too many impurities in it." Yes, it needs to be purified again."
The three of Xiao Yuanzheng were stunned, and Imperial Physician Liu said hesitantly, "Then the so-called nitrate is Haiwei, and Glauber's salt is salt salt?"
He looked at Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Fang uncertainly.
Imperial Physician Fang: "...is it Pu Nitrate? Doesn't the pharmacy in the hospital have treatment for intestinal carbuncle swelling and pain?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "According to what Imperial Physician Zhou said, this should be an alias, but Pu Nitrate is taken from the salt lake, not from the sea. Imperial Physician Zhou, why don't you find out if the effect is the same?"
Man Bao also came back to her senses now, she knew about Pu Ni, why didn't she think of it at the beginning
She was a little annoyed, so she nodded, and decided to ask Teacher Mo again later, but: "Since we have Pu Nitrate, why don't we try it first? I'll check it out, and test it out here."
Because she is not sure that Teacher Mo knows that the change of time has changed the names of many medicines.
Xiao Yuanzheng didn't know about the change of time, but he knew that the blind medicine was in different places, and different doctors often had different names.
He didn't know if Zhou Man could find out the similarities or differences between Glauber's salt and Pu's salt, so he nodded after thinking about it, "Alright, then let's try first."
Glauber's salt may not be available, but Pu's salt is definitely available. This watermelon is hard to find outside, but it is not too difficult to find in the palace. It is grown in Huangzhuang.
However, this thing is from the West after all, and it may not be suitable for the climate of the Central Plains. Not only is it not as sweet as the West, it is not as big as the West, and it seems that it is not as productive as the West.
Xiao Yuan was looking for Gu Zhong to ask for watermelons. In fact, Tai Hospital had its own procurement channel, but he felt that it would be most useful to find Gu Zhong at this moment.
As soon as Gu Zhong heard that it was used to make medicine for the emperor, he immediately asked someone to fetch it, but he was very curious, "This cold melon is cold like a melon, but it is not as sweet as a melon. How can I use it as medicine?"
Gu Zhong said clearly that His Majesty was sick from eating melons, and now he wants to eat cold melons to cure his illness
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanzheng was afraid that the emperor would change to eating watermelon in the future, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty is not sick because of eating melon..."
He paused and said: "It seems that it can also be said that it is because of eating melons."
Gu Zhong: ...
Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't help but patted his forehead and said: "Oh, how can I say this, the melon that His Majesty ate was iced, and there were too many ice basins in the hall before, and I walked out for a while at noon. It was when the heat came out of the body and entered the hall again, the heat and cold were blocked on the body surface, and when His Majesty ate the iced melon, the cold air in the body was even heavier, and because there was an ice basin in the hall, there was heat inside, So it’s hard to see.”
Xiao Yuanzheng was also very sorry, and said: "If Your Majesty had taken the medicine prescribed by Zhou Taiyi at that time, nothing would have happened."
But he didn't listen, and kicked the quilt because of the heat at night, and it was cold in the middle of the night, and the heat and cold alternated and burned.
But this is not important, because it is not very serious, Xiao Yuanzheng and the others can treat it, if the weather is stable.
However, the weather in the past two days was very unstable, and the night before yesterday was even more sultry. The emperor's condition became serious immediately.
Therefore, the emperor's illness is half due to his own reasons and half due to the weather.
Gu Zhong seemed to understand, but he understood a truth, the emperor's illness has nothing to do with the melon, as long as the melon is not over iced.
So normal melons are still edible...
Gu Zhong was very generous and asked someone to bring them a basket of watermelons directly, but there were not so many pu nitrates in the Tai Hospital. After all, it was medicine, and no one would eat it, so Doctor Fang asked people to go out to the pharmacy to buy it. up.
The three of them squatted in front of the melon, looked at the prescription, and then at the melon in the basket, and asked, "So the flesh of this melon has to be dug out?"
Man Bao rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm coming!"
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "What about this basket, even if you only eat half of it, you still can't eat so much?"
Man Bao is looking for the welfare of his little friends, "How about going to the Chongwen Museum? Let Bai Shan and the others help."
Xiao Yuanzheng directly vetoed it, "Toss it, it's fine to stay here, and find a few maids and servants to help."
After all, this medicine involves His Majesty, so it is better not to have anything to do with the East Palace.
Man Bao was a little disappointed, but recovered quickly. She picked out the biggest melon, made a gesture, and then took a knife to cut a hole in the top of it.
The melon flesh was already red, so Man Bao found a spoon to dig it up and eat it.
The maids and servants who were called to help: ...
So their job is to eat melons
Xiao Yuan was studying the prescription carefully and said to them: "You can't take too much, you can only take about one third."
Man Bao said while eating: "Obviously you can eat half of it."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...This is just in case, if there is less melon meat, where can I find watermelon again?"
Man Bao thought so too, tilted his head to think for a while and asked: "Xiao Yuanzheng, can I go back to the Chongwen Museum in the afternoon?"
Xiao Yuan was thinking about the emperor's condition and nodded.
Man Bao and the court lady asked for a big porcelain bowl, and when they ate delicious melons, they dug out large pieces and put them in the bowl.
When Xiao Yuan saw it, he glanced at the particularly well-dug melon meat in front of her, and then at the melon meat in the big basin in front of everyone, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"
Man Bao said: "I want to bring some back to the Chongwen Museum."
After she dug it out, she gave it to a court lady she knew well, and asked her to put the bowl in an ice basin to keep it cold.
Xiao Yuanzheng looked at it and shook his head. Anyway, there was enough melon meat, so he couldn't help it.
Digging the melon and meat here in the side hall was a joy. The maids and servants were afraid to eat it at first, but after they found that it seemed to be edible, they started to eat it.
But I didn't let go of it to eat, so there was quite a lot of melon meat dug out and put in the basin.
