The Evil King's First-Class Concubine

Chapter 100 The Disease of the Noble 1
Guo Yuren explained softly, although Xie Xinyue didn't say it clearly, Xie Xinyue's heart skipped a beat.So in Xiang'an City, does such a big man still live?In addition to shock, my heart is more of a sigh.Since ancient times, the empress dowagers of all dynasties have not enjoyed the blessings in the harem. Because of filial piety, even the emperor and empress will respect the empress dowagers.And this empress dowager is willing to give up all her glory and wealth to guard the spirit of the late emperor. This true love is really commendable.

Seeing that Xie Xinyue was a little nervous, Guo Yuren immediately comforted him: "Although that nobleman has a high status, he has a very good temper. You don't have to worry. In fact, we originally invited Master Yideng to treat you, but this time your condition is special. , we need a female doctor, so we thought of you. My father and Master Yideng are waiting at the imperial tomb, so don’t be afraid if you pass by.”

"Don't worry, all patients are treated equally in my eyes. I'm just a little nervous to see such a noble person. By the way, Brother Guo, why didn't that noble person go back to the palace?" Xie Xinyue asked curiously Start gossip.

It's a long way from here to Donghuang Mountain, Guo Yuren is a person who can't hide his worries, and this matter is not a secret that can't be revealed, so he immediately explained Xie Xinyue's confusion.

It turned out that the Empress Dowager and the late emperor were childhood sweethearts, and the road to the throne was not easy for the late emperor. Fortunately, the empress dowager gave advice and the whole family sacrificed a lot to allow the late emperor to sit on the throne.And the first emperor did not disappoint the Empress Dowager, he was sincere to her, and after he ascended the throne, he devoted himself to the Empress Dowager, and he never even took a second look at all the concubines in the harem.

Later, the harem was even disbanded, leaving only the concubines who had given birth to the emperor's heirs, and they only favored the empress dowager.It's a pity that the first emperor was in poor health, and he passed away only a dozen years after succeeding to the throne.The empress dowager was a middle-aged widow, lost her beloved, and had to assist her son to secure the throne.During that time, the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind the curtain, and in order to suppress the courtiers, she resorted to a lot of thunderous means. Xie Xinyue just imagined that she seemed to see a heroine who would not give in to others.

After Emperor Xingwen succeeded to the throne, he was able to take charge on his own. In order not to let others say that his son was just a puppet emperor, the Empress Dowager let go of her power and even planned to become a monk.It was because of Emperor Xingwen's hard prayer that he finally took a step back and went to Donghuang Mountain to guard the spirit of the late emperor.Counting it, the Empress Dowager has lived in seclusion for more than ten years.Every summer, Emperor Xingwen personally visited the Empress Dowager in the palace of Donghuang Mountain, which was considered a kind of filial piety.

The empress dowager didn't see outsiders, and she claimed to be an outsider. Apart from the emperor, she even refused to see her grandchildren.If it wasn't for the fact that he was suffering from a serious illness and the imperial physician was helpless, Xie Xinyue might never see this legendary figure in his life.

"If that's the case, why did Master Yideng also go?" Xie Xinyue remembered that Master Yideng was indeed proficient in medical science. The last time he was in danger at Hanshan Temple, Mu Yunshen was poisoned by Master Yideng.This monk, with treasures like jade sandalwood beads, looks really not simple!

"Master Yideng was originally dedicated to treating that noble man. His medical skills are excellent, but he has never been born. Sister, I really envy you. You will be able to see that noble man with your own eyes in a short while. Well, I can't even see my back!"

Speaking of this, Guo Yuren was full of resentment. If his father didn't need him to run errands, he might not even be able to enter Donghuang Mountain!

"What is there to be envious of? What if I can't cure that nobleman and get beheaded?" Xie Xinyue glared at him, but she was not so optimistic. Not her anymore.No matter how good your medical skills are, in the eyes of the royal family, if you make a mistake, you will be killed.

"You don't have to worry about this. That nobleman is not such a violent person. Besides, you are a genius doctor? How can there be diseases that you can't cure?"

"Healing illnesses but not lives, you really think that I am a god and can bring back to life! Since I can't kill people at every turn, it's fine, let's see when the time comes!"

She also knew that for a big shot of this level, she really had no way to show off. Now she still has to rely on the support of Guo Junshou, and she has to help this foster father anyway.

After driving for an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the foot of Donghuang Mountain.Since this is the imperial mausoleum, there are naturally guards sent by the imperial court to patrol around the top of the mountain, and ordinary people can't come in at will.Guo Yuren took her to the gate of the palace at the foot of the mountain, and handed her a passing token, and the guards guarding the gate let her go.

Although the palace is very large, and the pavilions and pavilions are extremely magnificent, the inside looks even more empty.There were not many people coming and going in the palace, they should be the confidantes brought by the Empress Dowager before she left, but the place where the Empress Dowager lives is not in the main hall of the palace, but in a Taoist temple on the mountain.

"Yue'er girl, you are here!" Guo Junshou, who was standing anxiously outside the Taoist temple, saw Guo Yuren and Xie Xinyue, and immediately told a palace servant beside him: "Quickly inform Yideng Master, just say that the person has arrived."

"Father!" Xie Xinyue nodded to Guo Junshou, and after a while, the door of the Taoist temple was opened, and the person who walked out was undoubtedly Master Yideng.Today's Master Yideng is actually different from when he first met him, the white goat beard on his chin has turned into black stubble.Xie Xinyue couldn't help but look at him twice, and after a long time, this lamp master was not a bad old man, and he looked only in his early forties.

"Thank you benefactor, please come in with the poor monk."

"okay!"

Xie Xinyue nodded, and followed him into the house. The room of this Taoist temple is not very big, and the things placed there are sparse and ordinary, it is nothing more than ordinary.It is really shocking that the dignified empress dowager lives such a simple life.

Only through a screen, the big bed in the room and the brocade quilt and tiger fur coat on the nearby couch can show a bit of luxury.There was a kang burning inside the room, and several palace servants dressed as nuns stood respectfully at both ends, serving them carefully.

"I heard that Xie benefactor is also proficient in the art of Qi Huang, so please come forward and feel the pulse of the nobleman."

Master Yideng spoke gently, obviously wanting to test Xie Xinyue's abilities.Over the years, Master Yideng had met very few people, and he was deeply impressed by Xie Xinyue. After all, he personally handed over the jade sandalwood Buddha beads to this predestined person.Unexpectedly, they would meet again under such circumstances.

This woman can't help but have outstanding literary talents, and she is even a well-known little genius doctor in Xiang'an City recently. Such a strange woman made Master Yideng look at her in a different light and wanted to see her ability.

"Yes." Xie Xinyue nodded, got up and stepped forward, only to see an old lady with a white obscene dress, silver hair, and a dignified appearance lying on her side on the bed.The old woman closed her eyes, her face was a little thin, she groaned and groaned from time to time, her brows were furrowed, as if she was enduring severe pain.

A servant in the palace had exposed the old lady's wrist, and Xie Xinyue felt her pulse. At the same time, she concentrated her true energy in her eyes, and held her breath to examine it carefully.

In the next second, she suddenly understood, no wonder Master Yideng couldn't solve it and wanted to find her.Nodding slightly to the palace lady, she walked up to Master Yideng behind the screen and said, "It is a disease of malignant sores, mostly due to the rise of heat accumulated in the lungs and stomach, and the re-induction of external poisonous evils, resulting in the accumulation of poisonous heat and accumulated in the body." between the skin and interstitial lines."

"However, looking at the nobleman's symptoms, it is obviously a summer infection, and I didn't take it seriously, so that it broke out all of a sudden now. Although I used medicines for clearing away heat and detoxification during the period, it was not completely cured. Repeatedly In the end, it became more and more serious, so that there was a malignant sore on the buttocks, pustules gathered, pus leaked out, and accompanied by severe pain, it was difficult to walk and fall asleep."

"That's right, what you said is right." Master Yideng nodded, his eyes admiring. Just now he was watching from the sidelines. This benefactor just took the pulse and didn't check the nobleman's body, so he can come to this conclusion. Indeed. Is a capable one.

"Although the malignant sore is not fatal, it is very stubborn and it is not easy to cure completely. The most important thing is that the nobleman's situation was clearly caused by being bitten by a poisonous insect, and the situation is more serious than usual. The malignant sore doesn't matter It is useless to take any medicine internally or externally, only incision and drainage can be done to get rid of the poisonous pus."

Xie Xinyue talked eloquently, which immediately made Master Yideng's eyes shine.The few palace servants who stood by and waited on were also surprised. Originally, they didn't trust such a young woman, so they might as well hand it over to Dr. Xu.Unexpectedly, this woman could tell the whole story of her condition just by feeling her pulse, which is really shocking!

Donghuang Mountain is originally a deep mountain and old forest, so there are naturally many mosquitoes, rats and ants in it, especially poisonous mosquitoes are rampant.The empress dowager met the late emperor's death day, and it was a hot summer, so her mood and appetite were not in a good mood.He was bitten by poisonous insects from the outside world without knowing it, and finally caused a malignant sore.

But this malignant sore is weird. At the beginning, it was just red spots on the skin and itchy.The immunity of the elderly is already weak, and all the symptoms together almost cost the Queen Mother half her life.

The sore must be gouged out, that is to say, a minor operation must be performed on the Queen Mother's buttocks.No matter how old the empress dowager is, she is still a woman. Although Master Yideng is a monk, he is also a man. Even if he has the ability, he would not dare to desecrate the empress dowager's body!
Although there are also medical women who serve the empress dowager in this palace, they don't know how to goug out the sores, and such things as surgery are hardly known in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Even the technique of acupuncture and moxibustion is almost lost and not trusted, not to mention that this kind of thing that requires cutting flesh can only be thought of by a person with such advanced medical skills as Master Yideng.

It's okay, it's okay, this disease is just troublesome, not fatal, Xie Xinyue now seems full of confidence.

"That's right, the benefactor Xie actually understands this. The poor monk originally thought the same way. He only cut out the sores. The pain of cutting flesh is unbearable for ordinary people. Your body is weak, and the poor monk is really worried that he will not be able to bear the severe pain. From the perspective of the benefactor, is there a solution?"

Master Yideng saw that she spoke with certainty, obviously she was someone who knew the principles of medicine well, so he humbly asked for advice.There is a dilemma in the illness of the nobleman. One is the difference between superiority and inferiority between men and women, but the pain of gouging flesh and cutting sores. If it cannot be resolved for a long time, the nobleman will suffer for a few more days.
