Song Yi

Chapter 241
Du Wenhao secretly felt ruthless, this girl is really weird, she shed tears just now, but now she is laughing heartily, this change is too fast.

Before coming here, he had checked the medical records of Empress Defei from the imperial hospital, and found that Defei had a severe cough and asthma, and the cold water would aggravate the symptoms, so she didn't come up again, and in a hurry, she didn't care to take off her shoes , jumped into the water, waded to Concubine De's side, reached out and grabbed her sleeve: "Sister Liu'er, be obedient! Go ashore!"

The pull was a bit more forceful, Concubine De couldn't stand, staggered and almost fell, Du Wenhao hurriedly grabbed her, slipped accidentally, and fell into the stream!
Concubine De covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she inadvertently slipped and fell into the stream with a plop!
The stream is only up to the knees, so there is no danger of life. Du Wenhao and Concubine De are both wet. Du Wenhao wants to help but can't. When he sees Concubine De's exquisite and translucent body tightly wrapped in her drenched dress, his face is hot. With a beating heart, he hurriedly turned around and shouted at the stunned maids on the shore:
"Are you dead people? Stand there stupidly, don't hurry up and help the empress!"

Then the maids jumped down the stream like dumplings in a pot, waded over, took off their dresses and put them on the empress, and helped her to the shore.

There are two maids who are coming to help Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao waved his hand: "Hurry up and take care of your mother, get a clean dress for your mother, don't catch cold, if there is something good or bad about your mother, you and I will have to move !"

"Yes!" The two maids hurried over to help take care of Concubine De, and Du Wenhao waded to the shore by himself. At this time, the downstream guards had already set up the tent and spread out their vigilance.Concubine De went into her tent to change her dress, and the serving maid led Du Wenhao into a tent where he had his own suitcase.

Hastily changed clothes and came out, and asked where the empress was, Fuli, the maid who served, replied: "Master Du, the empress is still changing clothes."

Du Wenhao stood and looked at the scenery, recalling seeing Concubine De's wet body just now, not only had some reverie.

After a while, Concubine De's voice came from not far behind her ears: "Wen Hao! Let's go! Go on the swing!"

Du Wenhao looked back, and Concubine De had already run to the edge of the woods, where a swing had already been tied.Concubine De sat on the swing and said with a smile: "In the palace, except for Sister Lin, there is no one who can swing higher than me! - Push!"

Du Wenhao ran over in a hurry and shouted: "Madam, you were frightened by falling in the water just now, and you caught a cold, it's better not to swing on the swing, lest the wind evil attack your lungs..."

"Don't be afraid! - Push it quickly!"

Several maids hurriedly pushed the swing.The swing got higher and higher, De Fei giggled happily, and kept ordering to push it higher.

Eunuch Ning, the old eunuch close to Concubine De, stretched out his hands, looking worriedly at Concubine De, who was swinging higher and higher, and kept shouting: "It's almost there, ma'am... Be careful! Ouch, be careful, my majesty!"

Du Wenhao could only smile wryly, he comforted himself, and said to Ning Gong: "Your Majesty has been bored in the palace for a long time, and it's hard to be happy for a while. It can be seen that Your Majesty is a master at swinging, and this swing can't hurt her. , that is, she usually suffers from cough and asthma, which is probably not conducive to her condition."

"Yeah, but the empress is having fun, she never listens to other people's words..." Eunuch Ning looked at Concubine De, who was about to swing into the clouds, if he said he was not worried, it would be a lie.

At this moment, Concubine De suddenly coughed violently on the swing, holding the swing with one hand, covering her mouth with the other, bending over and coughing violently, her body swaying on the swing, making people worrying!Everyone below screamed in fright.

Du Wenhao shouted: "Quick! Stop!"

Needless to say, the moment the swing came down, the two maids in charge of Concubine De's safety had already rushed forward, grabbed the Qianqiu rope with one hand, and hugged Concubine De's waist back and forth with the other hand, pulling her Fixed on the swing, the weight of the three people prevented the swing from swinging high, and when it reverberated again, the rest of the court ladies had already rushed up, pulling and dragging the swing to a stop.

Concubine De had already coughed until her pretty face flushed, and she bent over and squatted on the ground in pain.The maids were busy supporting the chest and beating the back of the concubine De, but nothing got better.

Du Wenhao hurried back to the tent, took out the gold needle box from his outpatient box, ran back, ordered the maids around to get out of the way, took out the three-edged gold needle, grabbed the palm of Empress Defei, and placed it on the Shaoshang point of her thumb and the Shangyang point of her index finger. A needle was pricked on each side, and a few drops of blood were squeezed out.

Soon, Concubine De's coughing and panting gradually stopped, she just panted heavily, turned her face sideways, glanced at Du Wenhao, and said with a smile: "I..., I..."

"Don't talk! Just now you fell in the river and caught the cold, and you were exposed to the wind while swinging, so that the cold evil invaded the lungs, and the lung qi was reversed and caused coughing and wheezing. Take a good rest first, and then talk about it after you recover."

Concubine De nodded, and with the help of the maid, went back to the tent to lie down and rest.

Du Wenhao glanced worriedly at Empress Concubine De's tent, and said to Mr. Ning, "Did you have a severe cough before?"

"It's okay. It's good and bad. I haven't committed it for a while. I didn't expect to commit it again today."

"Pay attention to your mother's body at night, and tell me if there is anything wrong."

"Okay, Master Du." Eunuch Ning bowed.

After resting for a while, Concubine De felt better, and wanted to continue swinging. Du Wenhao and others stopped her, so she gave up and played by the river until dusk. When the sky turned cold, under Du Wenhao's insistence, Only then did Concubine De reluctantly get into the car, and the team began to march.Originally, it was good to arrive at the official post in front of him before dinner, but now it may be later.

Concubine De was finally tired, she leaned lightly against the window, her tired face looked very listless.Still coughing lightly from time to time.

The curtain of the car was opened, and Du Wenhao was riding a horse. Seeing Concubine De in such a state, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"

Concubine De showed a slight smile and said: "Don't worry about me, it's just that I'm a little tired, I haven't played like this for a long time, some tiredness is inevitable."

Concubine De smiled, closed her eyes, and coughed lightly from time to time.

Seeing her flushed face, Du Wenhao couldn't help but feel his heart suspend.

That night, Concubine De and her party stayed at the inn.

In the middle of the night, Du Wenhao woke up Eunuch Ning from his sleep, saying that Concubine De was ill, which was really uncomfortable.Du Wenhao was shocked, when he came to De Concubine's door, he heard bursts of rapid coughing coming from the room, Du Wenhao knocked on the door and went in, and saw De Concubine leaning on the side of the bed, coughing and panting, saw her come in , trying to smile:
"Wen Hao, I..., I feel out of breath, I keep coughing, and I still have phlegm..."

Du Wenhao said a few words of comfort, checked his tongue for pulse, and said softly: "Miss Liu'er, don't worry, you caught wind and cold during the day, which caused you to have an asthma attack, take loquat leaf paste and Banbei pills, and you will be fine. "

"Well, with you by my side, I naturally don't have to worry." Concubine De looked at him and said quietly.

Half an hour later, Concubine De fell asleep after taking the medicine, and Du Wenhao heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his room.

After dawn, Du Wenhao went to see De Concubine again, and found that the phlegm had decreased and the cough was not obvious, so he continued to order someone to give De Concubine cough medicine. After breakfast, De Concubine's complexion improved a little, but her breathing was still Some rush.

A group of people set off and continued to set off. In the afternoon, they finally arrived at Zhujiazhuang, the hometown of Concubine De.

It is said that entering a wealthy family is as deep as the sea, but entering a deep palace is tens of thousands of times deeper than a wealthy family. In fact, it is only a one-day journey at a fast pace, but Concubine De lives in a deep palace, and cannot return to her hometown after several years of walking.This time, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown with honor. Although he has fallen out of favor in the palace, outsiders don't know about it.

What happened next made Du Wenhao really experience the feeling of returning home, let alone a concubine admired by thousands of people?
Zhujiazhuang has already received the report, and the whole town has taken on a new look. The streets are flooded with clear water, pigs and cattle are slaughtered, and a group of squires come out ten miles early in the morning, waiting in full costumes.

After receiving the empress, the next step is too much red tape and too many rules.

From the moment he entered this Zhujiazhuang, Du Wenhao's eyes were overwhelmed. It reminded him of the scene of Yuanchun visiting relatives in "Dream of Red Mansions". But the scene of hundreds of people welcoming them in front of them can be considered astonishing.

Entering the compound of Concubine De's house, Concubine De's mother led the whole family to kneel and kowtow.Concubine De ordered everyone to help them up, she didn't do a big trick like Yuan Chun, but hugged her mother and they cried.Those old and young people were moved to tears when they saw their mother crying, showing their true feelings.

Concubine De was very excited all the time, her tears were still wet, and she happily chatted and laughed with her sisters.

The evening banquet was arranged with singing and dancing to add to the fun, but Concubine De felt unwell after a day of socializing, and it ended soon.

the next morning.

Du Wenhao went to visit and found that Concubine De's face was flushed and her breathing became more rapid. He thought that besides not being able to catch a cold, the thing that should be taboo for the coughing and wheezing disease was great joy and great sorrow. Encountered, exacerbation of the condition is inevitable.

After thinking about it again and again, because Du Wenhao was ordered to accompany the doctor, and there were no other people from the Tai Hospital, it is reasonable to use Fang to consult the Tai Hospital, but now he is the only one.I had no choice but to bite the bullet and relieve the cough alone, using ephedra, almonds, licorice, echinacea, pinellia, etc.

After taking the medicine, Concubine De just lay lazily on the bed for a whole day, not wanting to get up, shortness of breath, although the coughing and wheezing had obviously weakened, but she pulled up her stomach, her heart palpitations flustered, her chest felt distressed, her forehead was filled with cold sweat, and the rest of her body But I didn't sweat, especially in the afternoon, my whole body was like being in a steamer.

Concubine De was ill, and everyone in the village was in a hurry. Concubine De's mother and other female relatives guarded her with perplexed clothes, and secretly hid and cried softly.Everyone heard that Du Wenhao was an accompanying imperial physician, and they all entrusted Du Wenhao to diagnose and treat with heart.

Du Wenhao repeatedly agreed, but he kept complaining in his heart.

Ever since entering the palace, she has encountered all kinds of strange diseases. The Empress Dowager obviously suffered from abdominal pain during menstruation, and no matter how much medicine she took, she still couldn't find it.But now the concubine Dezhen is obviously coughing and asthma, but after taking the medicine for coughing and asthma, the coughing and asthma subsided, but brought out a lot of new problems.It really puzzled him.

After two days of rest and recuperation, on the third day, it was originally planned to go to the ancestor's grave to worship the ancestors, but Concubine De couldn't get up anymore, so there was no way to make the trip.

Du Wenhao was very irritable, God seemed to be against him, but it just started to rain lightly again.

The bad weather made Du Wenhao feel even worse.

In order not to disturb his own judgment, Du Wenhao somehow let De Concubine's three aunts and four aunts leave the room, leaving only him, the close old eunuch Ning Gonggong and two close maids.

Concubine De lay lazily on the bed with her eyes slightly open, looking at Du Wenhao, wanting to laugh, but in the end she couldn't.

Seeing Concubine De like this, Du Wenhao felt very guilty: "Sister Liu'er, Wen Hao is incompetent and failed to cure your illness."

Concubine De smiled shyly: "It's my sister's fault. I didn't listen to your words. She insisted on going down to the river to play in the water, or swinging on the swing after getting cold. I can't blame you."

Concubine De's words made Du Wenhao feel even more ashamed: "The patient is always right, the doctor is wrong, and he has no ability to cure the disease. - Otherwise, we should go back to the palace and have a consultation with other imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. Open your mind."

"This one……"

Du Wenhao knew that Concubine De had come out with great difficulty, and she had only played for a few days during the half-month vacation, and she really didn't want to go back unless it was absolutely necessary.

Eunuch Ning has followed Concubine De for many years, so he naturally knows her thoughts.He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of worshiping the ancestors..."

Concubine De sighed, and said: "Forget it, let's go back, last night I dreamed of Lord Long Live again, he stood under the swing in the back garden, smiled and called me by my nickname, let me play on the swing with him."

Eunuch Ning heard the bitterness, and hurried out to prepare to go back to the palace.

Seeing that Du Wenhao was very depressed, Concubine De felt apologetic, and said in a low voice: "Wen Hao, don't blame yourself too much, no doctor can cure all diseases, I am assured of your medical skills, but some diseases can't be cured without prescribing the right medicine. It’s cured, maybe my disease is like this.”

The more Concubine De said this, the more sad Du Wenhao became, and his nose felt a little sore: "Sister, your illness is not a serious problem now, don't worry, I will find a way to cure it."

"Well..., this trip was not in vain, at least I recognized you as a good brother. When you go back, you can think about how to treat me." After finishing speaking, Concubine De closed her eyes.

The return trip was hasty, and on the second day, the Concubine De's family visitation team had already rushed back to the palace.

Du Wenhao immediately brought Xia Jiupo, the female imperial physician, to the empress for a follow-up visit. Xia Jiupo's prescriptions for syndrome differentiation were the same as Du Wenhao's.Both of them are very strange, why can't they be cured?
After reporting to Zheng Gu, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, he immediately called the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital for a consultation.

Many of these imperial physicians had treated Concubine De's illness before, knowing that she had cough and asthma, they thought that Empress De Concubine's illness should be a recurrence of cough and asthma.

Everyone has seen Du Wenhao's prescription for Concubine De, and they all think that Du Wenhao's prescription is not wrong.

Some imperial physicians also said that if the concubine's symptoms include diarrhea and forehead sweat, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and glutinous rice root should be added to the prescription.The other imperial physicians also agreed, and Du Wenhao immediately accepted it.

However, after taking more than ten doses of medicine, the condition became more serious.
