Eunuch Li walked in front and led Xia Chu and Lan Yuying to the imperial dining room. Lan Yuying raised her eyebrows at Xia Chu with a searching look. Xia Chu purred at Eunuch Li's back, signaling her to wait a moment. Let’s talk about it later.
Lan Yuying bit her lip, climbed onto Xia Chu's wrist and whispered in his ear: "I'm not asking about the emperor's situation, I'm asking what I said when you went to the imperial dining room!"
Xia Chu laughed out loud, patted his chest and silently replied: "You have me."
Lan Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and let go.
After arriving at the imperial dining room, Eunuch Li introduced Xia Chu's identity to the people inside. Everyone stopped what they were doing and knelt down to salute. Xia Chu nodded and asked them to stand up. He glanced at them and asked, "Who is in charge?" ?”
A man on the right stood up, lowered his head and replied: "Little Marquis, my servant Gu Ziyi is the chef here."
Xia Chu waved to Gu Ziyi and ordered him some medicated meals. Gu Ziyi was a smart man. When he encountered a medicated meal that he had never heard of before, he would know the process once he explained it.
"Little Marquis, it's easy to talk about other things, but there are some medicines that we don't have here. If we go to the Tai Hospital for approval, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time for this meal tonight." Gu Ziyi looked embarrassed.
"You pick up the others and work on them first, I'll get them for you." Xia Chu waved to him, Gu Ziyi responded and stepped back, quickly ordering the eunuchs to start working.
When Eunuch Li saw him turning around and walking out of the house, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Little Marquis, if you need anything, tell me and I will go get it. If you rarely go to the palace, just go back with Miss Lan." Qingxindian, let’s talk to the emperor.”
Xia Chu shook his head: "Lead the way."
Eunuch Li originally wanted to flatter him, but he never thought that Xia Chu would not appreciate it, so he had to go to the front to lead the way.
Xia Chu wanted to go to Tai Hospital because he wanted to meet Xiang Chengfang. Secondly, he also wanted to meet the new hospital envoy Yuan Guangyi.
When Xia Chu followed Eunuch Li into the Imperial Hospital, before Eunuch Li could introduce him, Xiang Chengfang saw him and dropped the medicine jars in his hands. There was a 'crack' sound that made all the imperial doctors inside. I was shocked, but fortunately the medicine jar was made of wood, otherwise it would have been smashed to pieces.
Eunuch Li also glanced at Xiang Chengfang with a calm expression, and then introduced him to everyone.
Everyone in Taiyuan Hospital put down their work and bowed. Xia Chu glanced at it and asked, "Where is the envoy?"
An imperial doctor came out and lowered his head and replied: "The envoy from the court has gone to ask for her pulse."
Xia Chu's eyes narrowed, which was unfortunate.
Xiang Chengfang walked over and said seriously: "I am Xiang Chengfang, the chief of staff here. I don't know how I can help the young marquis."
Xia Chu suppressed laughter and imitated his pretense: "Then Chief Lao Xiang will take us two to get some medicinal materials to make medicinal meals for the emperor."
Xiang Chengfang nodded: "Little Marquis and Miss Lan, please come this way."
Xia Chu asked Eunuch Li to wait outside, and took Lan Yuying to follow him to the pharmacy.
Xiang Chengfang was calm and didn't say a word along the way, but the cuffs of his sleeves were squeezed tightly by him, which was enough to show that he was still very excited inside.
After entering the pharmacy, Xiang Chengfang closed the door and asked Xia Chu, "Master, how is the emperor's health?"
Xia Chu glanced at Lan Yuying and then purred towards the door. Lan Yuying understood in her heart and walked to the door to watch for the two of them.
Xia Chu then turned around and scolded Xiang Chengfang: "Why are you panicking? I'm not here."
Xiang Chengfang was scolded by him, but he was very happy: "Yes, with the master here, the medicine will definitely cure the disease."
Xia Chu crossed his arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "When did I say that the emperor is ill?"
Xiang Chengfang looked startled: "No, you're not sick? Master, are you really here to find medicinal materials to make a medicinal diet?"
Xia Chu nodded, then walked to the medicine cabinet and picked up the medicinal materials.
Xiang Chengfang was stunned for a moment, then he immediately followed with relief: "It seems that the student made a mistake and is just worrying. I have also checked the ingredients in the imperial dining room and there is nothing wrong with them."
Xia Chu had already taken three or four medicinal herbs in his hand and said as he walked, "You're not mistaken either."
Xiang Chengfang looked confused. When Xia Chu saw that he didn't follow him, he turned to look at him. He took two steps back and said to him: "The emperor is not sick, he is poisoned."
"What..." Xiang Chengfang only shouted one word, and then Xia Chu reached out and covered his mouth. He was whimpering with fear in his eyes.
After a while, Xia Chu saw that his trembling body gradually stabilized, and then asked: "Have you calmed down yet?"
Xiang Chengfang nodded, and Xia Chu let go of his hand.
"Master, you didn't tell the emperor directly?" Xiang Chengfang felt that if the emperor knew, the palace would not be so peaceful.
"It's not time yet." Xia Chu turned and walked, continuing to look for medicinal materials.
"Master Envoy, he..." Xiang Chengfang covered his mouth, not daring to express his suspicions.
"That's not necessarily the case. If he can't see the poison, it's normal. I confirmed again and again during the diagnosis that the emperor's pulse is weak. It looks like he is overtired and mentally exhausted." Xia Chu understood what he meant. , but paused: "But in fact, he has been poisoned by a kind of poison that is difficult to diagnose."
Xia Chu took his pulse for a long time, and for the first time he thought it was just excessive consumption.
Therefore, Yuan Guangyi prescribed him some medicine to treat hemoptysis and advised him to abstain from sexual intercourse, which was in line with the emperor's pulse.
Just because the emperor was indeed seriously ill in his previous life, Xia Chu took a second pulse, but this time he discovered some subtle differences.
Xia Chu suddenly remembered that this happened when he checked the pulse of the Jiang family, the owner of the clothing store in Hanyang City, but they were not poisoned at that time.
Xia Chu suffered a loss once and gained a better memory. He took a pulse for the third time and finally confirmed that the emperor was different from the people in Hanyang City. This poison could cause people to cough up blood.
Seeing him stop, Xiang Chengfang looked solemn and asked tentatively: "Master, what kind of poison is it? Can it be cured by taking medicinal food?"
Xia Chu came back to her senses and shook her head at him.
Xiang Chengfang looked startled and took a step forward: "Why make medicinal diet if you can't solve the problem? Master, please go back and develop the antidote!"
Xia Chu held his head against the pain. It wasn't something he couldn't understand, it was because he didn't know.
I have never seen this kind of poison before...
Xiang Chengfang saw him spending time here, and his tone became more urgent: "Master, the health of the Emperor's body is of paramount importance..."
"Stop it. Be as virtuous as my father." Xia Chu quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and sighed: "The emperor has had some problems with his diet recently. Although the medicinal diet cannot solve it, it can alleviate some of his symptoms. Don't leave me alone. Nagging."
Xiang Chengfang was stunned by his disgust, but Lan Yuying, who had been standing at the door, hurriedly ran over with her skirt in hand: "Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li is here!"
