Xiao Rui came to Tai Chi Hall, but there was no one there. I searched all the way to the small study room, but there was still no one there?
"Where are the people? Where are the people from Tibet?"
One of the guards asked in confusion: "Master Hou, what are you doing with the Tubo people?"
"What are you doing? I'm going to kill them alive!" Xiao Rui said sharply.
The man was startled, "Master Hou, are you kidding me?"
Xiao Rui: Do you think I am a joke?
The other party did not dare to speak. He was not sure. If the Marquis really killed the Tibetan envoy alive, would he be implicated?
Xiao Rui glared and asked: "Why is there no one? Where is your Majesty?"
"Just now the harem came to report that the queen is ill. Your Majesty must have gone to the harem Li Zheng Hall."
Here, the chamberlain Lao Wang and Li Junxian chased after him, "Master Hou, Master Hou, please calm down!"
Xiao Rui sneered and said: "Old Wang, once I kill those Tubo souls, my anger will naturally go out."
After saying that, he strode towards the harem Li Zheng Hall.
Lao Wang and Li Junxian escorted him all the way.
A group of guards at the Taiji Hall were confused, and they all speculated: Did the Tubo people do something evil? Provoked the Marquis so much hatred?
As soon as he reached the door of the Li Zheng Palace, Xiao Rui heard the queen coughing violently inside.
The guard at the door blocked the way, "Master Marquis, you are not allowed to break in without notification!"
Xiao Rui pushed him away and said, "Get out of here. I was summoned by Your Majesty to see the Queen."
Li Er frowned and shouted: "Let him come in."
Xiao Rui broke in and saw that several imperial doctors were tremblingly discussing. Li Er was sitting next to the queen, personally accompanying her.
Xiao Rui walked up to several imperial doctors and asked about the situation in a low voice. When they saw Xiao Rui coming, they immediately became energetic as if they had found their backbone. Pour out everything you know.
"It's okay, Zang Feng. It's nothing serious. I just have a congestion in my throat. It'll be fine in a while." The queen was very kind to her son-in-law.
Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to feel the pulse, and at the same time looked at the pale queen. After a moment, he asked: "Mother-in-law, you have a problem with the lungs above your chest and diaphragm. Do you have any special symptoms?"
The queen nodded: "I just feel tight in my chest, and I can't breathe from time to time... Oh, by the way, my throat is blocked, it's like, it's like..."
An indescribable feeling, the Queen thought about expressing it.
Xiao Rui continued: "It's like swallowing a piece of fat and it's stuck in your throat. You can't swallow it, and you can't spit it out, right?"
Yes, yes, yes, that’s what it feels like!
The queen was surprised and said: "How do you know? I haven't eaten meat recently, how can I feel like this?"
Hearing this, Li Er asked anxiously: "Boy, is there any way to cure it?"
Xiao Rui smiled confidently and said: "Yes. There is a name for this disease, which is called 'Plum Cough Qi'. It is more common in women. This is a Qi disease, often caused by fright or anger. You only need to take medicine to straighten the Qi movement. .”
Li Er frowned and looked at the several imperial doctors, dissatisfied: "It's so simple, you guys discussed it for a long time?"
Several people did not dare to speak. Xiao Rui smiled and helped to relieve the situation: "Don't blame them. To treat acute illnesses requires strong medicine, but strong medicines are often toxic, so they have to be cautious."
Li Er understood. He knew the character of these people. When treating people in the palace, he often used expensive but harmless tonics because he was afraid of being responsible if he took them badly. But things have to be prioritized, right? What if you delay treatment because you are afraid of taking responsibility? Wouldn’t he be the one who harmed us in the end? What a bunch of rubbish!
ps: Doctors: Put you in our position and give it a try? I'm afraid you will do the same thing.
For Xiao Rui's sake, Li Er did not curse, but glared and urged: "Okay, let's make a prescription."
Xiao Rui smiled and said to several people: "Actually, you all have countermeasures, but you just don't dare to use them. It is recorded in the "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" written by Zhang Zhongjing in the late Han Dynasty that in this case, Banxia Houpu Decoction will do."
One of them asked: "Can I add Citrus Aurantii and Platycodon grandiflorum?"
Xiao Rui laughed loudly and said: "Wonderful! If you don't add tangerine to the diaphragm, you need to add these two flavors."
He walked to the desk and wrote in his own hand, "One liter of Pinellia ternata, three liang of Magnolia officinalis, four liang of Poria cocos, five liang of ginger, two liang of perilla leaves, six jujubes (broken), four liang of Citrus aurantium husk, and three liang of Platycodon grandiflorum." Boil four liters of seven liters of water, divide the temperature into four servings, and take it three times a day and one night."
After writing it, he handed it to several people, "Take it and grab the medicine. Lao Wang, you go with me and bring it to you when it's ready."
Several imperial doctors happily accepted the order. They had wanted to leave for a long time. Why did they stay and wait to be scolded? Maybe when the emperor gets angry, his job will be ruined.
Not long after, Lao Wang sent some decoction, Xiao Rui tasted it, and then Li Er personally fed it to the queen. He watched the queen take the medicine and rest, and then walked out with peace of mind.
"Do you know why the queen is ill?" Li Er asked with a gloomy face.
Xiao Rui nodded, "Is it because the Tubo people are making such nonsense that they want to marry the princess of our Tang Dynasty?"
"Not only the princess, but also named Changle." Li Er's voice was filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Rui lifted his robe and said sternly: "Father-in-law, where are the Tubo people? I'm going to kill them right now."
Li Er said, "I have arranged to stay at Honglu Temple. Wait...bastard, if you can kill someone, why do I need to ask you to come?"
Xiao Rui was puzzled, "Why can't they be killed? It's just a few barbarians. Killing them is easier than killing a chicken. I don't need to take action, Fifth Brother alone is enough."
Li Junxian hid helplessly aside, thinking in his heart: ...I am not as good as you, Tubo also has masters. Wait, you mean, I am only qualified to kill weak chickens?
Li Erbai glanced at Xiao Rui, "You really want to take action, but when I look down at your body, I see you are so weak that you can fall down with just one blow. Do you think you are the best in the world?"
"The two countries are at war and they haven't killed the envoys yet. Don't reach out and hit the smiling person. The other party comes to ask for marriage with gifts and goodwill. There is no reason for us to kill people."
Xiao Rui said disdainfully: "If they propose marriage, do we have to agree? Why? Who is the boss in this area? Isn't it our Tang Dynasty that has the final say in this world? Is Tubo stronger than us?"
Li Er laughed and scolded: "You kid, how can you learn to be as reckless as Zhijie and Jingde? If you are warlike, you will die. We will not launch an army to attack for no reason. The main thing in our relations is harmony. So we can't fight. Tubo also knows the rules. It’s still polite, there’s no reason for us to use our power to overwhelm others.”
At this point, Li Er lowered his voice: "Moreover, Tubo is a different country. It is not easy to fight. It is said that there is supernatural protection. When our people enter Tubo, it is as if they have been cursed. They will be dizzy and unable to fight."
What?
Xiao Rui almost laughed out loud, "What kind of bullshit supernatural protection? Isn't it all what they brag about? Isn't it just altitude sickness? People who don't understand just don't do it. How dare you jump in front of me? Blackmail us to send the princess to the wedding ? Damn you! Looking for death. Give me two years to ensure that we train a group of elite soldiers dedicated to destroying Tubo."
What? Are you kidding me? You mean, that supernatural protection is fake? Can you solve that curse? Li Er took Xiao Rui's hand in surprise.
