There was no news that Han Xianzong wanted to establish a new queen, so after receiving the letter from the left prime minister, Concubine Rou almost didn't shred the paper.
Her biological sister can be a queen, why can she only be a concubine after entering the palace for so long?
Concubine Rou was far from as calm as she appeared on the surface. Jealousy gnawed at her heart. Just at this time, the wet nurse came in again holding the crying second princess.
"Mother, the little princess has been crying, slave..."
"You just need to comfort her when she cries! Why are you hugging her? The noisy ones will make your brain hurt!"
Concubine Rou was extremely impatient and scolded.
The second princess's face turned red from crying, she was extremely pitiful. But what fell in her sight was full of boredom, which was extremely annoying.
The wet nurse was reprimanded. Although she couldn't bear it, she still didn't dare to stay in front of Concubine Rou any longer, so she had to hold the little princess in her arms and prepare to leave.
In fact, the wet nurse felt very sorry for the second princess. She lost her biological mother just after she was born. The adoptive mother didn't feel sorry for her at all, even if her voice became hoarse from crying, she was indifferent.
The baby's cry gradually faded away, and Concubine Rou watched coldly, her eyes slowly turning to the box she had originally placed on the ancient shelf.
Although the affairs in her palace were not deliberately spread, the second princess often took medicine when she was sick, and everyone in the palace saw it.
On this day, all the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects, and Rong Jieyu openly and secretly threatened Concubine Rou for not taking good care of the second princess. The second princess was still so young, but she had already been prescribed several medicines at the Imperial Hospital.
For such a young child to start taking medicine so frequently, it is difficult to say that it is not Rou Fei's problem.
"The second princess is weak, so I just asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some mild nursing care prescriptions. The second princess has a weak spleen and stomach and often vomits milk. After taking the medicine, the frequency of vomiting is much less."
Faced with Rong Jieyu's squeeze, Concubine Rou didn't panic at all and explained with a natural expression.
Rong Jieyu snorted. Although she didn't say it clearly, anyone with a discerning eye knew that she didn't believe this statement.
Even if the child has a weak spleen and stomach, there is no need to feed it with medicine at such a young age, right?
If you take medicine at such a young age, you may grow into a medicine jar in the future!
In the past, Xie Ziyue would not have cared about this kind of thing at all, but now that she has a daughter, it is inevitable that she will be a little obsessed with the second princess who is also young.
Hearing this, he frowned and said: "Concubine Rou, the second princess is too young. It is not appropriate to drink medicine at such a young age. Even the mildest prescription has medicinal properties. Let the second princess stop taking the medicine first."
"But the second princess's vomiting is really serious. The imperial physician in this palace is used to treating adults, but he really can't do it to such a young child, and I can't do anything about it."
Concubine Rou had a look of embarrassment on her face, and after speaking, she covered her lips with a handkerchief, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"The Imperial Physician Kang is good," Xie Ziyue suggested, "Go back and see the Imperial Physician Xuankang. It has been the Imperial Physician Kang who has been checking Ah Xuan's Ping'an pulse for so long."
Imperial Physician Kang was particularly good at treating women and children, and he advocated dietary supplementation. As Gu Xuan grew up, she rarely drank medicine directly.
Concubine Rou nodded her head and thanked her: "Then I will thank the empress on behalf of the second princess."
The topic has been brought up here. Now there is no queen in the harem. As the highest-ranking woman in the palace, what Xie Ziyue needs to say is the same as the queen.
She said something about saving money and not being extravagant and wasteful. The concubines also understood the current situation, so they nodded.
When they left Weiyang Palace, Concubine Rou was walking behind, and she could still hear Rong Jieyu talking about the situation outside.
"I heard that the plague was so frightening that people would have high fevers and vomit blood as soon as they contracted it. In the end, they would even vomit out their internal organs. People in Huizhou were almost dead."
"Where did you hear the news?" Rong Jieyu frowned, "Didn't an imperial doctor in Huizhou already prepare a prescription to deal with it?"
Plague is a thing that everyone talks about with disdain, and Rong Jieyu is no exception.
If the right medicine cannot be prescribed, even if they are temporarily safe now, this plague will always exist.
With so many people in Huizhou, is it true that no one will be infected and brought out?
Rong Jieyu felt frightened and stared closely at Lin Guiren who had just spoken.
"Rong Jieyu, there is indeed a prescription, but it is said that everyone has a different reaction to the prescription." Lin Guiren covered his mouth and smiled:
"Some people do get better with fever and are fine after drinking it, but it is said that some people just..."
Speaking of this, Lin Guiren's eyes were full of meaning, and it was self-evident what he represented.
It means that the medicine prepared is very powerful. If you can withstand it, you will live. If you can't, you will die immediately.
Taking medicine is like gambling.
"It's too scary." Rong Jieyu tightened her arms around Mrs. Tang, and she and Lin Guiren led their servants out of the Weiyang Palace door and headed to the left:
"I hope this damn plague never comes here."
The figures of the two gradually faded away, and even their voices became quieter.
Concubine Rou and Wan'er stood at the door, looking at their retreating figures with thoughtful expressions.
The eunuch guarding the door of Weiyang Palace watched his nose and heart without saying a word.
Concubine Rou glanced at them without leaving a trace, then walked out, saying as she walked:
"You can go to the Imperial Hospital later and invite Doctor Kang to come over and ask him to take a good look at the second princess."
"Yes," Wan'er responded, "I'll be there soon."
Wan'er remembered Concubine Rou's instructions, returned to the palace and immediately took her waist badge to invite Dr. Kang.
It was a coincidence that Dr. Kang happened to be on duty at the Imperial Hospital. When he heard Concubine Rou's invitation, he quickly followed Wan'er to the palace with the medicine box.
The wet nurse was sitting holding the little princess in her arms. Seeing him coming, she quickly took the little princess's hand out of her swaddling clothes.
Doctor Kang quickly took out a kerchief and checked the little princess's pulse.
The second princess was frightened and gave birth prematurely, and it was difficult to give birth. Her body and bones were already weak.
But it's not a serious problem. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will be like a normal child in the future.
Imperial Physician Kang made a conclusion as soon as he diagnosed the pulse and reported back to Concubine Rou:
"I would like to inform you that the second princess does have a weak spleen and stomach, but she is too young. If she keeps drinking medicine, she may hurt her stomach. I will go back and prescribe some mild tonic medicine for the princess, and then let the princess' wet nurse take it. The medicine will be effective. It will also be much gentler.”
"Then there is Imperial Physician Laokang." After saying this, Concubine Rou motioned to the maid beside her.
The palace maid understood, took out a delicate purse from her arms and gave it to Dr. Kang.
The purse was full, obviously stuffed with money.
When you are on duty in the palace, it is normal for your master to reward you. After thanking you, Imperial Physician Kang stuffed his purse into his arms.
Concubine Rou solved the problem of the second princess and was obviously in a good mood. She specifically asked Wan'er to send Doctor Kang out.
Imperial Physician Kang was walking on the road, feeling the weight of the heavy purse in his arms, and did not dare to delay when he returned. He quickly wrote a prescription for food supplements and planned to give it to the servants in Concubine Rou's palace tomorrow.
