But no.
Cen Xijin’s former psychology tutor said that this idea of suddenly wanting to scratch yourself when watching others scratch is a herd behavior, a subconscious behavior, and an emotional and neurotic behavior.
It is most likely to appear in people who have negative emotions and are emotionally unstable.
In the words of Dr. Liu who was stationed in the Imperial Mansion, this is——
"Aunt Cen, your itchy body has nothing to do with smallpox. It's probably because your skin is too dry, or you haven't showered in a while..."
Whether it was because his skin was too dry or he hadn't showered for a long time, Cen Xijin felt very embarrassed.
She has not taken a bath since she came here. The palace people do not enjoy such high-level treatment, so they usually wipe their bodies with handkerchiefs and hot water. Moreover, she has not used any skin care products, and her skin is natural. Just do it.
No wonder it's itchy.
Doctor Liu took out an exquisite small porcelain vase from his sleeve. The originally handsome and elegant person was smiling like an old madam soliciting customers. He was still in front of her with a slight smile and flattery: "Aunt Cen, I'm here. There is a rare dose of Thousand Gold Hand Ointment, which is a good medicine to moisturize the skin and maintain the appearance. Auntie, you are beautiful and delicate. Being exposed to the wind and sun in the village will inevitably damage your appearance. It is best for you to use this. That's right. I hope my aunt will accept my humble kindness."
"What are you doing! Doctor Liu, you are so polite!" After saying that, Cen Xi Jinyi shook his head righteously, and then took the thing without blushing or heartbeat.
All women love beauty.
No woman can resist the temptation of skin care products.
What's more, ancient things are 100% natural.
Of course, she did not forget to ask the head of the village to find some private doctors to check this thing. She must be on guard against others. Although there must be no chemicals in it, if there is some musk, safflower, lead, mercury, etc., it will That's quite annoying.
But she really thought too much.
Saffron and musk are not cheap things. There is no need to spend so much money to harm her as a palace maid. What's more, she is only ten years old and unmarried, so there is no competition for favors in the boudoir.
As for lead and mercury, this stuff was very common in ancient rouge gouache, such as traditional Chinese medicine light powder, which is called mercury powder, and it was also used in many ancient cosmetics. It’s quite permeable when you think about it. human.
But it is said that this Thousand Gold Hand Ointment is made of pig's trotters, white rice, Shang Liu, Ligusticum sorghum, Angelica dahurica, Polygonatum odoratum, spikenard, peach kernel, Linglingxiang, etc. They are all edible and can be used. It doesn't hurt at all.
So Cen Xijin happily accepted it.
After the victory, Cen Xijin felt relieved, but the second prince became even more depressed. Because Cen Xijin didn't say hello to him when he returned to the palace. He went straight to the palace dressing table and took a look in the bronze mirror. She smelled the faint medicinal fragrance of Qianjin's hand cream, not to mention how happy she felt. She has been in this imaginary world for so long, but she hasn't gotten any benefits at all. She had saved so many golden beans in the Jianxian Hall. She probably melted them all during the water leak. The good things were something she couldn't enjoy as a palace maid.
She only saw Chen Xiurong using this hand cream a few times, never mind using it herself.
She was really happy to be able to use such good things that only concubines and nobles could use. It seemed that all the depression in her heart for many years had been eliminated.
People just want to enjoy themselves.
The second prince was heartbroken when he saw her smiling so brightly at the bronze mirror. He didn't dare to get angry with her, so he could only twitch his eyelids and say sourly: "Oh, someone gave you something? How dare you be so affectionate?" OK!" Humph, she was so happy, like a young girl in love, and she was smiling so brightly, I don't know why she was there.
That small porcelain bottle seems to have been given by Dr. Liu who just came to ask for his pulse and take medicine. That Dr. Liu looked very young and elegant... Ah, what's the use of being elegant? You can’t do anything! What kind of good thing is the facial cream for a daughter's hands? His mother's dowry was so abundant that she couldn't use it up every month, but that ugly man who had never seen the world thought it was something good. What a toy!
The second prince had a swollen face, and his two idle fingers kept digging at the azure curtain. His heart seemed to be twisted into a twist.
From then on, the second prince hated the imperial doctor very much.
But less than a day later, he finally fell into the hands of Dr. Liu.
Because at night, the second prince finally fell ill.
At three o'clock in the morning, Cen Xijin held up the candlestick tremblingly and looked at the second prince in horror.
At this moment, the second prince was rolling around on the couch in pain and kept shouting: "Auntie, my body hurts, is so hot, and is itchy! Wow, it makes me so uncomfortable!"
Cen Xijin's eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't dare to get close, so he could only shout loudly through the curtain: "Your Highness, please hold on a little longer, just for a moment! I have given the order, and Doctor Liu will be here soon! Don't cry, don't cry , Your Highness, you must be strong!"
"I...I feel uncomfortable...it hurts! Auntie, save me...save me...mother, stepmother...help me! It feels so uncomfortable...I can't stand it anymore!!" The second prince kept mumbling, and his hands were busy. He kept scratching his body through the fabric of his clothes.
Looking at his flushed face, one could tell that he had a high fever. When he mentioned Queen Zhuang Xi, he wondered if his brain was confused.
At this moment, Cen Xijin didn't care about so much. He just threw himself on him and shouted in the loudest voice: "Your Highness! Think about Queen Zhuang Xi! The Queen is gone, but she wants you to live well! You must also live well. Live! Have you forgotten your unfulfilled dream? You said it, you said it all!"
He said he would take revenge, take revenge for his mother! He said that this world should have been his!
Cen Xijin was sobbing, tears streaming down her face, but her heart was filled with hatred and sadness. However, she could only clenched her fists and hit the woolen lichen hard, leaving several shallow and shallow pits. Son.
That's all she can do.
She has no medical skills or strategy, so she can't help him in the slightest.
Those who contracted smallpox often had a narrow escape from death.
On weekdays, she saw that the second prince looked good and liked to talk and quarrel. When she saw that his appetite was good during meals, Cen Xijin thought that his condition was not serious, so she did not pay special attention to him. But who knows, at night...
Maybe the second prince wouldn't even survive the first night, and his life might be hanging by a thread at any time!
Just when she was crying bitterly, Doctor Liu and Aunt Wang and Aunt Wu happened to rush over.
From far away, I heard Cen Xijin's roar and the second prince's painful moans. When I came in and took a look, I found that the situation was indeed very serious.
Doctor Liu no longer looked as flattering as he did during the day. He just pursed his thin lips and looked at Cen Xijin seriously: "Your Highness, this is a high fever caused by smallpox. Auntie, please give way so that I can diagnose your Highness." .”
Seeing him coming, Cen Xijin felt inexplicably relieved. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, if you need anything, or if you need to write down prescriptions or medicines, just give us orders. Aunt Wang and I Grandma Wu will definitely do her best."
Aunt Wang and Aunt Wu heard what she said and knew that the situation was serious, so they quickly nodded in agreement.
