PNB Chapter 319: Checking the Queen's Pulse
Chapter 319: Checking the Queen's Pulse
"Reply... reply... reply to the old lady, we didn't see anything. We really didn't see anything!" Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't see anything.
Xu Shanshan was so angry that her face turned blue. She didn't expect these servants to say they didn't see anything.
"Madam, if that's the case, I still have to go to the princess's mansion, so I won't accompany you anymore. Come back to me when Aunt Xu has evidence!"
After saying that, Su Qing left without looking back. As for what the old lady wanted to do and how she dealt with the servants, it had nothing to do with her.
Su Qing arrived at the princess's residence, and the princess was about to leave. "It seems that I came at an inopportune time. Where are you going, princess?"
Princess Shaohua smiled happily when she saw Su Qing. "I thought you were going to see me today, and I was planning to go see you! I didn't expect that we were so in sync that you would come! Then let's go to the palace to see our mother together. The carriage is ready."
"Okay, I was just thinking about coming to see you today, and then setting up a time to see the Queen Mother!"
The two of them got on the carriage and drove to the palace. Along the way, Princess Shaohua and Su Qing chatted in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, as if nothing happened in the morning.
Arriving at the palace, Su Qing and Princess Shaohua went to the Queen Mother's bedroom together. The Queen Mother was very happy to see Su Qing and started chatting with her. The Queen Mother was very impressed with Su Qing's medical skills and took the medicine prescribed by Su Qing and felt much better.
The three of them were chatting happily when they heard the eunuch announce "The Queen has arrived~"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." Su Qing and Princess Shaohua bowed quickly.
"Stand up," the queen said with a smile, "I heard that Divine Doctor Su is here, so I came here specially to see him."
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your concern." Su Qing said.
"Dr. Su is a skilled doctor. He cured the empress dowager's illness and his contribution is truly indispensable," the queen praised.
"This is what a subject's wife should do." Su Qing said modestly.
"Doctor Su, please come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you." The queen glanced at Su Qing, then turned and left.
Su Qing looked at the princess and the queen mother, then followed the queen to a side hall.
"Doctor Su, I have a favor to ask of you," said the Queen.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. There is no need to be polite to me, your humble servant."
"Can you please ask Doctor Su to check my pulse? I've been panting heavily since I came here. I always feel like I can't breathe. I don't know what's going on, but I feel uncomfortable every day."
"Then let me feel it for you!" Su Qing stepped forward and began to check the Queen's pulse. But she thought to herself, it would be much better if she could use an instrument to check it, which would save her trouble. When would these things in the space come in handy? How could she use the things in the space here?
"The Queen is not seriously ill, but she has some asthma. Perhaps she had chest tightness and shortness of breath when she was young?"
"Yes~ You are absolutely right. I have had this since childhood, but the imperial physician said that I have some congenital deficiencies and it is not a serious problem."
"The climate in Xia Country is different from here, so your symptoms will be aggravated here. I will write you a folk remedy that my master wrote when I was young."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"But this recipe is not easy to make, and the effect is amazing."
"Is there really such a miraculous medicine? Tell me quickly."
"I want twelve ounces of spring white peony stamens, twelve ounces of summer white lotus stamens, twelve ounces of autumn white hibiscus stamens, and twelve ounces of winter white plum stamens.
Take these four kinds of stamens, dry them in the sun on the Spring Equinox of the following year, and grind them together with the medicinal powder.
You also need 12 qian of rainwater from the Rain Water Day, 12 qian of dew from the White Dew Day, 12 qian of frost from the Frost Descent Day, and 12 qian of snow from the Minor Snow Day. Mix these four kinds of water evenly and add the medicine.
Add twelve qian of honey and twelve qian of sugar, make balls as big as longan, put them in an old porcelain jar, and bury them under the flower roots.
If you are sick, take out one pill and drink it with 12 parts of Huangbai decoction. "
"That's probably not going to be easy! It's not easy to collect all the rain from spring, summer, autumn and winter. What if it doesn't rain on the Rain Water Day? We have to wait another year. It will take at least three or four years to complete the task."
"So this recipe is hard to come by and takes time. The Queen is the Phoenix, so she will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."
"Is there any medicine that can provide temporary relief?"
Su Qing wanted to take out the asthma medicine in the space and give it to the Queen, but then she thought, she couldn’t just take it out like that!
"Don't worry, Queen. I will prepare it for you when I get back and send it to you when it's ready. Please don't use incense in the Queen's palace anymore, it will make your wheezing worse."
"Thank you very much. Mother and Shaohua are still waiting for you. Let's go out!"
"Queen, please~~" Su Qing made a gesture of invitation.
After coming out, Su Qing looked at the Queen Mother again and exchanged greetings for a while. Before leaving the palace, Su Qing received precious medicinal herbs and jewelry as a reward from the Queen Mother. After expressing her gratitude, she left with Princess Shaohua.
Princess Shaohua asked Su Qing curiously in the carriage. "Xiao Qing, my sister-in-law asked you about having children?"
"No~ It's a disease the queen has had since she was a child."
"Alas~~ I don't know why, but it's so hard for my brother and I to have children. My mother is worried every day. She said that my father and my brother already had twelve children when they were this age. But now my brother and I don't even have one child!"
"The princess must be worried during her pregnancy. You are fine, aren't you? But what happened recently that made the princess so sad?"
"You don't know this during the month, but Concubine Yu had a miscarriage a few days ago, and it nearly cost her her life."
"How can there be a miscarriage for no reason? Speaking of miscarriage, today, Concubine Xu of the Marquis's Mansion had a miscarriage and put the blame on my son Jiang Nian. He is still so young, I really don't know how Concubine Xu could be so cruel to use him. Alas~~ Every family has its own problems!
Princess, don't worry too much, just rest assured and take care of your baby. When I held you just now, I felt you and you are very healthy! "
"Thanks for your words. I will be more careful in the future. By the way, do I still need to take the small pill you gave me before?"
Su Qing thought about it and thought it should be folic acid. "Princess, you don't have to take it anymore. It's fine."
"I just finished taking it. I was thinking if I need to continue taking it, you can prepare some more for me! That's just fine if I don't need to take it anymore. I hate taking medicine the most."
