There was chaos inside and outside Shoukang Palace, the maids and eunuchs were running around quickly, carrying various utensils and objects in and out from time to time.
All the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital knelt and surrounded the empress dowager's bed. Although they did not dare to sigh, they still shook their heads silently.
Dong Ci has been kneeling at the front, gently pressing his fingers on a silk handkerchief, and under the silk handkerchief is the empress dowager's weakly stretched wrist.
The pulse is smooth, weak and messy, like the end of a dry lamp, which makes people unable to recover.
"Alas..." Dong Ci let out a long sigh.
"Lord Dong, don't make things difficult, you know what's wrong with the Ai family, and you can't blame others!" The empress dowager's weak voice came from behind the curtain, although it was in physical pain, it still sounded full of kindness.
"Queen Mother, please forgive me for being incompetent..." Dong Ci said helplessly.
"Forget it, Ai's family only wants to have another good meal in their lifetime. After so many years, they have never dared to really eat it... Alas..." The empress dowager sighed long, which made everyone present cry.
It would be a long story to talk about the problem of the Empress Dowager, originally there was nothing serious about it, it was nothing more than living in the palace for a long time, some spleen and stomach discomfort, and exhaustion.
After all, I have experienced too much when I was young, and I have been frightened for Liu Heng for half my life. Only when Liu Heng sits firmly on the dragon chair and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, can I breathe a long sigh of relief.
With the advent of good days, although Liu Heng is the ninth-five-year-old, he is still a filial son in the final analysis. Thinking of the hardships of his mother in these years, he was afraid that he would lose her, so he ordered the imperial dining room to take good care of it. , Rare ingredients are served.
It's strange to say that in the past, when eating simple food, there were no such problems, and the empress dowager herself didn't know when it started. Her stomach began to feel unwell, and gradually developed to the point where her stomach was blocked and she could enter. I can't expel it, and my stomach is bloated and painful. It was painful even to breathe. If it was in the homes of ordinary people, it would be something that can be solved with a few laxatives, but after all, it is the empress dowager, the mother of the current emperor, with a delicate phoenix body and unbearable torment, who would dare to use strong medicine
Ever since, Dong Ci, Mr. Dong. I had to do my best to make various conditioning decoctions for the empress dowager.
However, the root cause of this disease lies in eating, the stomach is blocked, and the soup and medicine can't be delivered. After several tosses, the empress dowager suffered unspeakably!
"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Outside the hall, Liu Heng was furious!
"Royal Father, is Grandmother uncomfortable again?" When everyone dared not take a breath, a childish voice rang out.
"Xian'er. You also came to see your imperial grandmother?" Liu Heng slowly leaned down, gently caressing Liu Xian's small face with tears in his eyes.
"Father, don't worry, let Xian'er go see the imperial grandmother. The imperial grandmother likes Xian'er the most. She said that when she sees Xian'er's face, she thinks of steaming steamed buns. Xian'er asked the imperial grandmother to look at it and said Maybe the imperial grandmother will recover from her illness when she sees Xian'er!" Liu Xian smiled innocently, and staggered into the gate of Shoukang Palace.
"Alas..." Liu Heng gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Grandmother!" Liu Xian called out in a childish voice.
"It's Xian'er! Let the emperor's grandmother take a look... Oh, my little bun, the emperor's grandmother really wants to take a bite." The empress dowager gently brushed Liu Xian's chubby face, a rare look appeared in the corner of her eyes. comfortable.
"Grandmother, are you hungry? Xian'er asked the imperial dining room to cook something delicious!" Liu Xian said. Just about to stand up from the bed.
"Oh... that's all, the things in the imperial dining room... Aijia is tired of eating..." The empress dowager waved her hand lightly.
"The emperor's grandmother didn't want to eat the food from the imperial dining room. Emperor's grandmother, please wait a moment. Xianer will come as soon as he goes!" As soon as he talked about eating, Liu Xian's little head suddenly appeared a delicate and pleasant figure .
"Xian'er, where are you going?" Outside Shoukang Palace, Liu Heng saw Liu Xian running out quickly.
"Father, Xian'er is looking for Brother Yaoshan!" Liu Xian left behind a word, and ran away in a babble.
So, first at the prime minister's mansion, and later at Wen's house together.
"Sister Wen, hurry up and enter the palace with Xian'er! The imperial grandmother wants to eat!" Liu Xian thoughtlessly pulled Wen Rou and was about to leave.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince, what happened?" Ruan Wen was very confused, entered the palace? What palace are you entering? now? But isn't there no chef selection contest yet? If you're not an imperial cook, how can you enter the palace? Also, the empress dowager? What exactly is going on
Sheng Yaoshan pulled Liu Xian gently, and told the matter that he had inquired in the palace in a concise and gentle manner.
So it is! It sounds like the Empress Dowager also has the same symptoms as that Grandma Tao!
Wen Rou was suddenly startled.
I can't eat it, and I dare not eat it, but I still want to eat it... My stomach is blocked, it's very painful...
"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, you stay here for a while, the little girl is going out to do something." Rourou suddenly thought of Nangong Xue, yesterday she teamed up with Nangong Xue and successfully healed Grandma Tao!
Now facing the empress dowager's symptoms, no one can do without it!
"Where is Miss Wen going? I'll see you off!" Sheng Yaoshan asked with concern.
"General Sheng is coming later, the little girl wants to go to Sister Xue'er to discuss countermeasures!" Rourou didn't hide anything.
"Miss Nangong! By the way, her medical skills are amazing!" Sheng Yaoshan suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately decided to take Liu Xian and Wenrou to find Nangongxue.
In Nangong Mansion, the Nangong imperial physician had already been summoned into the palace, and he also knelt in the hall of Shoukang Palace with all the imperial physicians.
Nangongxue was studying medical theory alone at home, seeing the three people who came suddenly, and hearing their reason for coming, she couldn't help being shocked.
"General Sheng, I'll take a step to talk with Sister Rou'er." Nangong Xue was worried, and pulled Rourou into the inner room.
"Sister Xue'er, follow me to save people! I'm afraid it will be too late!" Gentle begged. In her heart, everyone in the world is not rich or poor, and everyone is equal. No matter who can't eat, she will sad sad.
"Silly girl, there are so many imperial physicians at the Empress Dowager's place who are helpless. How can a mere granddaughter of an imperial physician treat the emperor's mother?" Nangongxue turned her back.
"Sister Xue'er, you can do it! It sounds like the Empress Dowager's condition is the same as that of Grandma Tao! You can cure Grandma Tao, but why can't the Empress Dowager?" Gentle refused.
"Silly girl, that's different!" Nangong Xue shook her head lightly.
"Why are they different? They all grow from human flesh! There is no difference except their identities!" Rourou was anxious. I really don't know what Nangong Xue is worried about!
"Silly girl, have you ever thought that all the imperial physicians can't save you. If I help you, where will you put all the imperial physicians?" Nangongxue sighed.
"I don't care. I only know to see a doctor when I am sick. If one doctor can't cure it, I will change to another doctor. There is no absolute thing in the world, but one thing is certain, that is, when the disease is cured, you can eat as much as you want. Yes! Food is the most important thing for the people, there is nothing greater than eating! The same is true for the Tian family!" Wen Wen said righteously.
"If I help, I will never be able to stay out of the world again, and I will never be able to escape!" Nangongxue smiled wryly.
"What does Sister Xue'er mean? What does it mean to be out of the world? What to escape? Where is Sister Xue'er going? Sister Xue'er's family practices medicine, and doctors are there to save lives and heal the wounded!" Wen Rou was puzzled.
"Save the dying and heal the wounded..." Nangongxue muttered to herself.
Yes, when I chose medicine at the beginning, I didn't go for the belief of "saving the dying and healing the wounded"!
In those years, no matter whether it was further study in a big city or a free clinic in a mountainous area, no matter whether the conditions were good or bad, I always adhered to the belief of saving lives and healing the wounded!
Whenever I see a patient recovering in my own hands, it brings a feeling of new life. It is comfortable all over!
A benevolent doctor, even the ancients understood this truth, why should I be afraid to worry about my unknown future here!
Thousands of waves surged in Nangong Xue's heart.
"Sister Xue'er, hurry up and leave. His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince rushed over anxiously. The situation of the Empress Dowager may not be optimistic. If it is too late, the immortal will be powerless!" Wen Wen urged again.
"You silly girl! You really want to leave me in Da Zhou!" Nangong Xue smiled helplessly, and quickly took some utensils, apparently ready.
"Sister Xue'er, why can't I understand what you said? Isn't sister Xue'er from Dazhou? Why can't she stay in Dazhou?" Wen Rou asked curiously.
"This... I will tell you when I have a chance in the future! You enter the palace with me and pretend to be my maid and assistant. Remember not to talk too much, and don't act rashly. Everything depends on my wink!" Nangongxue warned,
Because she is the granddaughter of Nangong Imperial Physician. It was brought by His Highness the Ninth Prince and accompanied by General Sheng. All the way into the palace was really smooth.
When he arrived in front of the Shoukang Palace and explained his intentions, Liu Heng was even more delighted. After all, at this time, it doesn't matter if he is in a hurry and goes to the doctor indiscriminately, or he treats a dead horse as a living horse doctor! One more doctor is one more hope! What's more, the granddaughter of the Nangong Imperial Physician's family must be no less skilled than ordinary people!
"Xue'er, what are you doing here?" Before the sick bed, Nangong Imperial Physician scolded face to face.
"Grandfather, Xue'er, come and have a try." Nangong Xue said softly.
"Nonsense! Come back to me!" Nangong Imperial Physician refused.
"Nangong Imperial Physician, let Miss Nangong try it! Maybe it will work!" Sheng Yaoshan persuaded from the side.
"Grandfather, don't worry, Xue'er is counted!" Nangong Xue looked at her grandfather confidently, and walked forward with gentleness.
The curtain was lowered lightly, covering it hazyly, and the specific movements could not be seen clearly, only two figures were busy.
After a rustling sound, the intestines were dredged and dripping. Although the smell was not very pleasant, the sound still let everyone present breathe a long sigh of relief.
It's done!
"Rou'er, go to the kitchen and cook some meals!" Nangongxue dismissed Wenrou softly, and Sheng Yaoshan hurried over to the imperial dining room with Wenrou.
The spacious, bright and huge kitchen is fully equipped with ingredients and utensils.
This is the royal dining room! Is this the place where Dad fought in his previous life? !
There was a burst of joy in Gentle's heart.
In the previous life, Wen Shouzheng was selected as the imperial cook. Although she was the daughter of the imperial cook, she had never been to this place!
Enter the palace? I never dared to expect gentleness in my previous life! I have only seen this red wall and green tiles from a distance outside the palace, the high gate and deep courtyard!
"Miss Wen, this is the imperial dining room! If you need anything, just say hello! They can all be ordered!" Sheng Yaoshan casually pointed at the people behind him.
"Don't worry, General Sheng, Rou'er alone is enough." She saluted gently and quickly, and was busy for a while.
The steaming oatmeal porridge, the crispy and delicious shredded bamboo shoots, as well as the colorful vegetable cakes and yam cakes were presented delicately, and all the chefs were staring at them!
This girl came out of there! Such a good cooking skill at such a young age!
In fact, these meals in Wenrou's hands are all explained by Nangongxue. Foods rich in dietary fiber are not only light and delicious, but also promote intestinal peristalsis and remove garbage in the body. For those who are weak, they are the most warming and nourishing food !
The body is comfortable, and the appetite is naturally widened.
Coupled with the tenderness of the food, both the appearance and the taste are top-notch.
It's a pity that when the empress dowager was eating, the curtain kept blocking it, so everyone couldn't see it!
The Empress Dowager ate with a smile on her face, feeling so comfortable and refreshed in her heart!
It's a pity that Gentleness came with Nangong Xue, and she has always been by her side as Nangong Xue's attendant and assistant, and kept her head down. Although she is a good cook, she was also mistaken by the empress dowager for the palace. With the help of the imperial chef, he cooked such a delicious meal.
What's more, Nangongxue was the main character who was supposed to enter the palace to heal the empress dowager, and she was hidden away for a while.
