Chapter 16 Couple’s Night Talk
In the He Mansion, deep in the courtyard, the night was already very deep.
He Xi was lying among the layers of curtains, and Princess Anqing was beside him, holding his arm and falling asleep.
But He Xi couldn't sleep.
The two questions in front of him tortured him and made him unable to sleep.
Ambition, once ignited, is difficult to extinguish. And the taste of success is even more fascinating.
One thing, once there is positive feedback, people don’t want to stop. Working in the Ming Dynasty, He Xi had an aura. With Zhu Yuanzhang's support and the database in his mobile phone. He has been studying for more than ten years.
It's very easy for him to do things.
Especially now that I think about it, in the Imperial Academy classroom, he provoked so many students to look at him with admiration. That taste shouldn't be too good.
This is an addictive taste.
The more successful he is, the more He Xi wants to do better, and the less he can tolerate a single failure.
If He Xi is asked to go back and be Zhu Yuanzhang's secretary, every cell in He Xi's body is shouting: I don't want to.
It's just that He Xi really didn't know what to do and couldn't help but sigh.
This sigh woke up Princess Anqing.
Princess Anqing turned on her cell phone and, taking advantage of its light, said, "What's wrong with you? Are you still not sleeping?"
Princess Anqing is now able to use mobile phones proficiently. When it comes to night lighting, mobile phones are better than any lighting tool in this era.
He Xi hesitated again and again, sighed softly, and said, "There is one thing that I have never told you. Open your phone, and at the bottom of the WeChat reading, there is a set of Twenty-Four Histories. You can read Taizu's Chronicles and Hongwu What happened in fifteen years?”
Princess Anqing yawned and said: "Didn't you tell me? From the time you arrived in this era, it will no longer count. These changed futures are of no use. Instead, they only increase worries. I am another hidden person." People who can't control things. Once you have preconceived ideas, it's not good. Why did you let me watch it today?"
He Xi smiled slightly in her heart, wondering if Princess Anqing trusted her too much or was too easy to deceive. Princess Anqing also believed what he said.
He didn't want Princess Anqing to see this before. In fact, some things are difficult to explain. Just looking for an excuse. But he never expected that Princess Anqing really didn't go to see it.
Princess Anqing skillfully opened the software on her mobile phone and found WeChat to read. Then he found the Twenty-Four Histories among the hundreds of books on the bookshelf. After reading for a while, he suddenly stood up, leaving his shoulders as smooth as jade exposed. Said: "Xiongying, he is not here this year?"
He Xi was stunned and then remembered that the prince's eldest son also passed away this year.
That is Zhu Xiongying.
However, He Xi didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, he doesn't know medical skills. If some people can be saved and some can't be saved, he will be in trouble. He ignored this whole thing.
He Xi was a little strange for a moment, and thought to himself: "Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang think of this? Did he not know? No, he should know." He thought in his mind. It is probably because the probability of young children dying in this era is too high.
Although the child is already eight years old, he is beyond the period when he is most likely to die young. But they are still children after all.
A thought flashed through He Xi's mind, and He Xi said, "Keep looking down."
After a moment, Princess Anqing exclaimed: "Mother. Mother," she grabbed He Xi's arm in horror and said, "Ms., this is not true. This is not true. Do you think so?"
He Xi said: "Of course, I told you. History has changed since I came. Everything is uncertain and everything is possible."
Even though He Xi said this, Princess Anqing couldn't help but shed tears. He Xi could only caress and comfort her.
Princess Anqing vented her emotions for a while before finally feeling relieved. She suddenly remembered something and said, "Does the Queen know?"
He Xi said: "She shouldn't know. Father will not let her know. Because confidence is very important in treating diseases. Once the patient loses confidence, many diseases that could have been cured will not be cured." He Xi paused slightly. , said: "Today, my father came to me to discuss this matter, but I can't think of any solution. I don't even know what the queen's condition is. Even if I know what the queen's disease is? I don't know how to treat it."
Princess Anqing said urgently: "At that time, did you have any medicine that could cure all diseases?"
He Xi shook his head and said: "Prescribe the right medicine, just like in ancient and modern times. There will be no medicine that can cure all diseases in the world now and will not exist in the future. The medicine that can cure all diseases-----"
The words "cure all diseases" seemed to stimulate He Xi all of a sudden. He Xi sat up suddenly. He said: "It cures all diseases." He turned around suddenly and asked Princess Anqing, "What is the reason for the queen's illness?"
Princess Anqing said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong. It's just that when my mother gave birth to her eldest brother, the war was chaotic, and the root of the disease was at that time. Later, she gave birth to us again, and her health became worse and worse. The imperial doctor said that her qi and blood were deficient, her waist and knees were sore, and she had to adapt to rest. There was no mention of life-threatening injuries.”
He Xi understood immediately. Said: "I understand."
Princess Anqing said: "What do you understand?"
He Xi said: "His mother's death was a sudden illness and an emergency."
Princess Anqing said: "Is there any problem with this?"
He Xi said: "It is only half a year since the Queen Mother died of illness. If the Queen Mother is lingering on the bed, there are already signs. But now there is nothing? The Queen Mother is just weak. Such things often happen to elderly people. So historically, the mother died of an emergency."
Princess Anqing's eyes were still confused.
He Xi went on to say: "There are two possibilities for the mother to have an emergency. The first is a disease that occurs quickly. There are many diseases that are almost hopeless once they occur. But there is another possibility, which is sudden inflammation. If that's the case, I know there's a remedy for it."
There are too many diseases that can kill people. Too many to count. But in the era when there were no spectrum antibacterial drugs like penicillin, the disease that caused the most deaths was probably inflammation, whether it was external inflammation or inflammation somewhere in the body.
In later generations, diseases that only required infusion for a day or two were life-threatening in ancient times.
Historically, after Empress Ma died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the imperial doctor who treated her, and Princess Anqing described Empress Ma's illness. He had reason to believe that Queen Ma's illness was so sudden that Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that Queen Ma would die. In He Xi's impression, the same is true for certain types of inflammation. If no infusion or treatment is given in time, the person will be gone within a few days.
Princess Anqing said: "What medicine?"
He Xi turned his head and said, "Yes, it's a medicine from Tianning Temple in Changzhou. I can't remember the details. The only thing that comes to mind is that this medicine should be the green hair that grows from something."
Yes, He Xi remembered that it was the medicine known as ancient penicillin, but the name of the medicine could not be recalled for a while.
Princess Anqing said: "What is the use of this medicine?"
He Xi said: "If it is true as I thought, it can be used for most of the fever symptoms." Then He Xi lay down again and said: "This is also a matter of doing our best and obeying fate. If fate protects us, it will be as we expected. , then there is still hope for this matter."
"Okay, Changzhou Tianning Temple, right?" Princess Anqing said, "I will set off tomorrow to move the entire Tianning Temple here. I want to find this thing."
He Xi said, "I'll just make a quick trip."
Princess Anqing said: "It's the same for everyone. Don't you still have so many things to do? This matter cannot be left to others. Naturally, it is best for me to go. I also asked my father to take people there, all the way from Nanjing to Changzhou. Just go down the river, it's not far. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
He Xi was silent for a while and said, "It's okay, I have a lot of trouble here."
Princess Anqing said, "If you have any problems, tell me."
He Xi simply told Princess Anqing about the difficulties she was facing. Princess Anqing listened. "Puff", he laughed out loud. Said: "What's so difficult about this?"
