Chapter 6 The Beginnings
The next day, Lin Wan went to the Cixin Hall very early to ask for peace, and after the old lady waited for everyone to say goodbye, she sent them away, leaving only Lin Wan'er. Lin Qinglan and Lin Yunzhu looked reluctant when they left, but the old lady's face was serious, and the two didn't dare to say anything.
At the end of the royal doctor's time, he was a middle-aged man in his forties, not outstanding, with two mustaches. After asking the old lady for a pulse, he only said a few words to make the old lady recuperate with peace of mind.
Imperial Doctor Wang saw that the old lady had something to say, and did not say goodbye, drinking tea and waiting for the old lady Lin to speak.
The old lady smiled and said, "Thank you Imperial Doctor Wang, thanks to your excellent medical skills, the old man's body is better." After a pause, he continued: "Imperial Doctor Wang, the second daughter-in-law of the old body has also been sick for a while, can you please also take a look?"
Imperial Doctor Wang hurriedly said: "Of course you can, I don't dare to be an old lady to ask for a word, the doctor's parents are hearted, and the lower officials also hope to heal Mrs. Lin." Just ask the old lady to lead the way. ”
Lin Wan'er hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandmother, let Wan'er take the royal doctor to see her mother." ”
Old Madam Lin nodded in agreement, and said to the royal doctor: "Then there is the imperial doctor of King Lao." ”
Imperial Doctor Wang said, "Don't dare." Then he followed Lin Wan out of the Compassion Hall.
Walking all the way, Lin Wan was very well-behaved and polite, and seeing that the royal doctor also had a good impression of him, he changed the topic and mentioned the Jade Concubine.
"Wan'er hasn't been in the palace to see Concubine Yu for a long time, and I don't know if she's okay?" Lin Wan smiled and looked at the expression of the royal doctor.
Imperial Doctor Wang replied with a respectful face: "The Jade Concubine is young and in good health. It just so happens that I am in charge of the consultation, and I check the pulse according to the routine every month, please rest assured that Miss Seven. ”
Lin Wan knew that Imperial Doctor Wang was introduced to the Lin family by Aunt Yu, and he should be Aunt Yu's person, so he was even more relieved to hear him say this. At present, there is no conflict between the Lin family and Aunt Yu, but it may not be in the future.
Lin Wan glanced at the green willow, and the green willow immediately understood, looked at the surrounding situation as if unintentionally, nodded to Lin Wan, and then looked at the wind from the side.
Lin Wan stopped, looked at Imperial Doctor Wang seriously, and said in a low voice: "Imperial Doctor Wang, my mother didn't have anything, but she has been sick for the past two years, but she has been getting worse and worse, and now I'm afraid it's a little bad, please ask Imperial Doctor Wang to bother more." ”
The royal doctor has been in the palace for many years, so this kind of thing is not surprising, and he nodded his head in response, with a solemn expression.
When he came to the Autumn Garden, Cuihuan was waiting at the door, and when he saw Lin Wan leading the doctor here, he hurriedly went to report to his wife and Chen's mother. Lin Wan and the others walked into the courtyard, and Chen's mother happened to have already greeted them.
Chen's mother led everyone into the main room, and Zhao Liniang sat neatly dressed on the main seat, her face a little sad. Seeing that Imperial Doctor Wang was coming, he wanted to stand up, but he was also a little powerless, Lin Wan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and when he got together, Imperial Doctor Wang hurriedly asked her to sit down, and said, "Madame doesn't have to be polite, I really don't dare to be an official." ”
At the suggestion of Imperial Physician Wang, Chen's mother covered Zhao Liniang's wrist with a handkerchief, and Imperial Physician Wang diagnosed the pulse through the veil.
Imperial Doctor Wang's face was expressionless, and under the anxious gaze of everyone, he slowly checked the pulse without changing his face, and after diagnosing one hand, he also checked the other side, and only then did he stop after a cup of tea.
Imperial Doctor Wang glanced at Lin Wan as if unintentionally, and said to Zhao Liniang with a smile: "Madame don't have to worry, this disease only needs to be recuperated and feel comfortable." Xia Guan will open another prescription to recuperate and recuperate, and it will not be in the way. ”
After speaking, he was not busy prescribing prescriptions, and sat down to drink tea.
Zhao Liniang smiled and said, "Then there is the imperial doctor of King Lao." My body is actually nothing, but sometimes good and sometimes bad, the royal doctor Wang has excellent medical skills, saying that I am fine, it must be nothing, and I am relieved. ”
Lin Wan hurriedly stepped forward, held Zhao Liniang's hand, and said happily: "Mother, then you have to listen to the words of the royal doctor and have a good rest." He instructed Cuihuan on the side, "Serve your mother and rest." ”
He said to Zhao Liniang again: "Mother, here is me and Mother Chen, you go to rest for a while, the medicine is decocted, and then ask you to get up and drink the medicine, okay?"
Zhao Liniang sat for so long, she was tired, nodded, said a few words of forgiveness to Imperial Doctor Wang, and was helped by Cuihuan to rest.
"Imperial Physician Wang, please speak here. Mother Chen stepped forward and led Imperial Doctor Wang and Lin Wan to the West Wing. The eldest girl Huan Cuishan and Cuihu were guarding in the courtyard, and Cui Pei entered the west wing room together to serve tea, prepared paper and ink, and retreated to the door to guard.
After inviting Imperial Doctor Wang to take a seat, Lin Wan was no longer polite, and nodded to Chen's mother, who hurriedly took out Zhao Liniang's previous prescription and the medicine residue left yesterday and put them on the table.
Imperial Doctor Wang didn't speak, picked up the prescription and looked at it, and then checked the medicine residue, frowning.
Lin Wan waited for him to finish reading, and said softly: "Imperial Doctor Wang, may I ask what is my mother's condition?
The royal doctor did not go around the corner, seeing that although Lin Wan was young, he was quite assertive, and the princes and princesses who grew up in the palace were also precocious, so he was not surprised. said directly to Lin Wan: "Miss Seven, Madame has indeed been drugged, and now her body is already very weak, if you can't find out the reason, if you continue like this, it is estimated that it will ...... in less than half a year."
Lin Wan chuckled in her heart, waiting for Imperial Doctor Wang to continue.
Imperial Doctor Wang looked at Lin Wan, and saw that she was so calm at a young age, so she put her mind at ease, and continued: "When the official checked the pulse, he found that the lady was quite like a secret medicine that appeared in the palace many years ago, and long-term use can make people's health worse and worse, and the reason cannot be seen, but after taking it for a year, it will be hopeless, and the imperial doctor's diagnosis will also be a natural death." ”
Lin Wan's face did not change, and asked, "Can the royal doctor see anything wrong?"
"This official has seen the previous prescription and medicine residue, and there is no problem. The official of the secret medicine has not seen it, but he has heard that the biological mother of the Seventh Prince eight years ago ......" The royal doctor stopped as he spoke, and picked up the tea bowl, as if he did not want to say any more.
Lin Wan looked sad and said sincerely: "Uncle Wang was recommended by Aunt Yu, of course he is his own person, although Uncle Wang is the first time to see Wan'er, but Uncle Wang does not treat Wan'er as an ignorant child, and Wan'er does not treat Uncle Wang as an outsider, I hope Uncle Wang knows everything and tells Wan'er, and Wan'er can be on guard." In this prime minister's mansion, although it is not as good as the palace, but the elder brother is not in the mansion, Wan'er and her mother are the two of them, and there are only a few people around them who can be trusted. ”
Imperial Doctor Wang hurriedly said: "Miss Seven doesn't have to be polite, the official is also thanks to the support of the Jade Concubine to get to today, the Jade Concubine has already entrusted, the Seventh Miss has a place to get the official, but please command." ”
"What does this medicine look like?, what does Uncle Wang know?" Lin Wan thought for a moment and asked.
Imperial Physician Wang shook his head and said, "When the official's master was still in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he once diagnosed the pulse of Concubine Chen's mother who died eight years ago, and told the official at that time that this kind of pulse was special. The other circumstances are not known to the Officer. ”
"Uncle Wang, do you have any countermeasures?" Lin Wan asked again.
"This medicine is said to be very precious, and it cannot be stopped, so it must be someone close to you. If you stop taking the medicine for one day, it will take more than a month to take effect, judging from the pulse, Mrs. should be poisoned for almost two years, and the other party may often not be able to start halfway, so it can be delayed until now, if you can stop the drug for 7749 days in a row, this poison will naturally be solved. But Madame's body is now very weak, and she can't afford to take this poison a few more times, and if there is any more negligence, even if the poison is dissolved, she may not be able to recover. After speaking, Imperial Doctor Wang sighed lightly, revealing a helpless and worried look.
Lin Wan was silent for a while, and asked tentatively: "Then ...... Concubine Chen back then?"
Imperial Doctor Wang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "This matter, the official is not very clear, I have not entered the Taiyi Bureau at that time, I only occasionally served as a helper for the master, because of this incident, the master and I almost lost our lives, thanks to the Jade Concubine Niangniang's plea to the emperor, the master was able to save his life and leave the Taiyi Bureau." And I was retained, starting as a small doctor who treated the palace maids and eunuchs, and only in recent years did I enter the Imperial Medical Bureau. I heard the master say that Concubine Chen's illness was almost cured at that time, but she was given another rarer Miaojiang secret medicine, which caused the previous poison, which was menacing, and she died of heart failure in just one day. All the imperial doctors were helpless, and the emperor was furious and killed the two imperial doctors on duty, as well as all the palace people who served in the palace of Concubine Niangniang that day. ”
Lin Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle Wang, can this medicine only be taken through the mouth? Is it just a matter of controlling water and food? If it stops, can it be diagnosed from the pulse?"
Imperial Doctor Wang nodded and said, "Yes, as long as Miss Seven can prevent it, she can take the official's medicine to slowly recuperate." If you check the pulse every day, you can see the changes in the pulse pattern. ”
"Uncle Wang, where is the Lingshi now?" Lin Wan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"The master has traveled all over the world, and I don't know where the master is now. Imperial Doctor Wang hesitated for a while, and then said: "I have a niece who has been studying medicine with me since she was a child, and when my master was still in the capital a few years ago, she served by her side, and she also received the guidance of my master, if Miss Seven can use it, she should be able to help." ”
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Wang, then I will let Mother Chen go with you to meet first, and when I arrange it, I will let her enter the mansion, please rest assured that Uncle Wang will never treat her badly if she follows me." ”
"Miss Seven is not a thing in the pool, and she has a good heart, of course I can trust it, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up. Imperial Physician Wang said with a smile.
Lin Wan smiled slightly and said gratefully, "Uncle Wang,......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Cui Pei open the curtain and whispered, "Mother Du is here." ”
Mother Chen was shocked when she heard it, and she didn't make a sound, but when she heard Cui Pei's words, she hurriedly glanced at the door, stood at the door respectfully and said, "Thank you Imperial Doctor Wang, please write a prescription for Imperial Doctor Wang, and the old slave will go with you to grab the medicine." ”
As she spoke, Mother Du came in, Imperial Doctor Wang was writing a prescription, and Lin Wan went up to talk to Mother Du: "Mother Du, why are you here, please take a seat." ”
Mother Du was busy and didn't dare to say, "The old lady is worried about Madame's condition, let me take a look." ”
Lin Wan said with a sad face: "Imperial Doctor Wang said that my mother's illness should be maintained with long-term medicine, and I should also pay attention to my diet, Mother Du, how do you say this is good?"
Imperial Doctor Wang put down his pen, handed the prescription to Chen's mother, and said to Lin Wan: "Miss Seventh doesn't have to worry too much, as long as Madame's illness takes medicine on time and pays attention to some dietary taboos that the official just told Chen's mother, she can recover in a year and a half." ”
Lin Wan hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Imperial Doctor Wang also said goodbye, and the group hurriedly sent each other off. Lin Wan and Du's mother stopped at the door, and Chen's mother went to the outer courtyard with Imperial Doctor Wang.
Mother Du wanted to return to the Cixin Hall to restore her life, Lin Wan said with a smile: "Mother and Wan'er have grandmother's mercy, please come to the royal doctor Wang for consultation, the royal doctor has excellent medical skills, and will definitely be able to cure her mother, Wan'er will go with Mother Du to thank her grandmother." ”
Mother Du looked at Lin Wan's well-behaved and sensible appearance, nodded and smiled: "Madame is really blessed, with Miss Seven, a filial daughter, and an old lady, a mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law, she will definitely be able to cure the disease." ”
"Thank you for your good words!" Lin Wan smiled and took Du's mother's hand and went to the Compassion Hall.
