winter solstice!
It is a traditional Chinese festival that marks the coming of the real winter.
There is still residual heat in the earth, and the sun is still shining brightly in Kaifeng City, which does not seem very cold.
However, Hu Tian's land in the Mobei outside the Great Wall, where snow falls in August, is a snowfield with howling cold winds and extremely cold weather. Even the most cold-resistant tribes cannot survive.
However, on the endless white snowfield, a team of Khitan people were using horse-drawn sleds, braving the severe cold, and kept moving towards the north, going deeper and deeper into the far north.
This team is the convoy of Yelu Nanyin, the most noble princess of Liao Kingdom, and this time they go deep into the far north to use Fan Zheng's evil prescription to cure Princess Yelu's bright red mole.
Walking on the knee-deep snow, even with Princess Yelu's excellent war horses from Daliao, it was still very difficult to move forward.
"Princess Qi, the far north is now inaccessible and there is no way to go further north!" A Khitan knight came to Yelu Nanyin to report.
The tribes here have already moved south and are already inaccessible. If they go further north, if they encounter danger, they may not be able to call for help in time. Moreover, the further north they go, the shorter the days and the longer the nights. They can travel up to two hours a day before it gets dark, which shows that they have reached their limit.
"Princess, it's already cold enough!" The maid also felt the cold weather and persuaded her from the side.
They had gone deep into the hinterland of Mobei, and the weather was already extremely cold. Even though they were extremely well prepared, they still could not withstand such severe cold. Many people and horses had already suffered from frostbite. If they continued walking, they might encounter risks.
In particular, Yelu Nanyin was the most beloved princess of Emperor Liao. If something happened to her, they would not be able to explain it.
Yelu Nanyin, who was wrapped in thick mink fur, poked his head out of the sled carriage, listened to the howling cold wind, looked at the white snow, and felt the extremely cold weather. For the first time, Yelu Nanyin felt in awe of nature.
She had seen famous doctors all over the world for her port-wine mole, but none of them could cure it. Just when she was about to give up, Fan Zheng gave him a cure, using the coldest weather as a cure.
She had never heard of such evil remedies, but when she came to the far north in person, she knew in her heart, and became more and more certain that the evil remedy that could cure her scarlet stain must be Fan Zheng's evil remedy.
"Okay, no need to continue going north, just set up camp here!" Yelu Nanyin finally nodded.
"Set up camp immediately!"
The leading cavalry commander breathed a heavy sigh of relief and immediately gave the order.
As the cavalry commander gave the order, everyone in the team began to take action.
Soon, the cowhide tents were set up one by one, and everyone entered the tents to keep out the howling cold wind.
In a huge and luxurious tent, several maids carefully raised the flame. In this ice and snow, there was a shortage of wood sources. The only fire-making materials were supplied to Yelu Nanyin. In other tents, they probably relied on fur clothes to keep out the cold.
As the fire grew larger, the severe cold inside the tent receded slightly.
Yelu Nanyin took off his thick mink fur, let out a white breath, and carefully took out an iron can filled with liquid while wearing thick gloves.
The tin can contained the most important medicine for her to treat port wine stains - alcohol. In such a cold weather, if it were water, it would have frozen long ago, but the alcohol was still swishing, apparently not frozen. Bing, this gave her a little more confidence in Fan Zheng's evil method.
"Come here, put the tin can of alcohol outside the tent. Remember, it cannot be buried in the snow. It must be placed in an open place and used again late at night." Yelu Nanyin solemnly arranged.
This is Fan Zheng's special advice. Although ice and snow are cold, they also have a strong thermal insulation effect. If the alcohol is buried in the snow, the temperature of the alcohol will not reach the minimum. As long as the alcohol is exposed to the air, it will assist in thermal conductivity. The best iron can can achieve the lowest temperature of alcohol. Although it is not as low as the liquid nitrogen of later generations, it can still be used.
"Yes, princess!"
The maid on the side also wrapped the tin can with thick gloves and carefully opened the tent. Suddenly, a gust of wind and snow blew into the tent, causing the temperature of the tent that had just been lit with a bonfire to drop instantly.
The maid shuddered, quickly wrapped herself in a fox fur, braved the wind and snow, came to the outside of the tent, placed the alcohol in the tin can, and then hurried back to the tent. Even so, she was already Feeling cold all over.
Upon seeing this, Yelu Nanyin said with satisfaction: "Everything is ready, just wait until midnight tonight!"
Today is the day of the winter solstice, which corresponds to Fan Zheng's extremely cold place. In extremely cold times, there are evil ways to deal with extreme cold moments, and whether she can restore her appearance depends entirely on today.
"By the way, counting the days, the seeds of Artemisia wormwood should have been delivered to Divine Doctor Fan!" Yelu Nanyin said suddenly.
The maid nodded and said: "The weather in the south is warm and the carriages and horses are fast. They should have been sent to Kaifeng City. However, in my opinion, the princess was too hasty. Her highness has not yet recovered her appearance. In case, the evil doctor Fan Zheng The recipe is inaccurate? Wouldn’t the princess suffer a loss?"
Yelu Nanyin shook his head and said: "Fan Divine Doctor treats Nanyin with sincerity. Before the emperor's grandfather even retreated, he directly gave Nanyin the evil prescription to cure his appearance. How could Nanyin bring the Ascaris seeds to show his own respect and deliberately make things difficult for Divine Doctor Fan. Besides, everyone in the world If even the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription cannot restore my princess's appearance, I'm afraid no doctor in the world can do it."
The Liao Kingdom is located in a bitter cold land in the north, and many people suffer from frostbite every year. Yelu Nanyin understands that frostbite is indeed easier to recover than burns. Severe frostbite may leave scars, and mild frostbite will leave pigment. , or even become slightly invisible after a while.
Yelu Nanyin has asked many famous doctors in the Liao Dynasty, and they all agree that Fan Zheng's evil prescription is very feasible. After the face is frozen, combined with the muscle-promoting cream, and then continued to cover the gauze, the pigmentation can be avoided to the greatest extent. In addition, women will apply it. With makeup, a few imperfections are nothing to worry about.
The portuguese nevus was her luck, which allowed her to receive endless favor from her imperial grandfather, but it was also her nightmare, causing her to lose the appearance that a woman is most proud of.
"As long as tonight passes, my princess will be able to regain her appearance." Yelu Nanyin couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and she was thinking a lot.
On the day of the winter solstice,
The days in the far north are extremely short, and soon night falls.
However, Yelu Nanyin did not act immediately, because according to the time of going to Beijing, it was only the afternoon, not the moment of extreme cold.
At the moment, Yelu Nanyin waited patiently.
As time passed, Yelu Nanyin fell asleep unknowingly beside the bonfire.
In the dream, she returned to her normal appearance. She no longer had to wear a gauze scarf all day long and could show her appearance openly. She no longer had to be pointed at behind her back or looked at her with regret.
In the dream, she was carefree, growing up happily, reciting poems and talking with her sweetheart, and the music of the piano and harp was very pleasant.
"Ask the world, what is love? Directly teach life and death to be together."
"Everyone looked for him thousands of times, but when they suddenly looked back, he was in a dimly lit place."
………………
In the dream, Yelu Nanyin and her sweetheart were reciting popular poems, and the piano and the harp were singing in harmony. At this moment, the fog cleared, and she tried to see clearly that the face of her sweetheart turned out to be the evil doctor Fan Zheng.
Yelu Nanyin was suddenly startled, and she was half asleep. She was the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and Fan Zheng was a famous doctor of the Song Kingdom, and a confidant of the Song Emperor. It was impossible for the two to be together, let alone Fan Zheng and Da Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty, was in love with her. Her love was stronger than that of Jin, and she was even less likely to empathize with him.
Yelu Nanyin clearly knew that this was a dream, but he was reluctant to wake up, preferring to linger in this false tenderness.
"Princess, it's midnight!"
Suddenly the maid urged urgently.
Yelu Nanyin sighed in his heart and slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
She didn't expect that she would develop a deep love for Fan Zheng during her months in the Song Dynasty. When she was at her most desperate, Fan Zheng gave her hope of healing her appearance. Even though the two countries were hostile, Fan Zheng still healed him in advance. evil recipe.
She visited the middle wall of the Li Mansion Road many times and read Fan Zheng's love poems in person. She couldn't help but lead herself into Li Qingzhao, and finally fell into it and couldn't extricate herself.
This is also the reason why Yelu Nanyin had already handed over the seeds of Artemisia wormwood to Fan Zheng in advance even before he could verify whether Fan Zheng's evil prescription was effective.
"Princess!"
The maid suddenly felt at a loss and said.
Yelu Nanyin shook his head and said: "No problem, go get the medicine outside."
"Yes! Princess!"
At that moment, the maid wrapped herself in thick fox fur and took back the extremely cold iron can outside the tent.
When I opened the tin can, a pungent smell of alcohol suddenly filled the entire tent. I saw that the alcohol was still a clear liquid in the extremely cold weather.
Yelu Nanyin gently took off her veil, and the bright red mole on half of her face suddenly appeared.
"Let's start!" Yelu Nanyin said with firm eyes.
The maid took the order, directly picked up a cotton swab commonly used by doctors in the Song Dynasty, soaked it with cold alcohol, and followed Fan Zheng's instructions, pressing it on the scarlet nevus for thirty breaths.
"hiss!"
Feeling the freezing pain on his face, Yelu Nanyin suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Princess?" The maid felt distressed and stopped quickly.
"Continue!" Yelu Nanyin said without hesitation. In order to restore her appearance, she had to grit her teeth and endure.
The maid had no choice but to continue wiping with cold alcohol and repeat this two or three times until edema appeared on the port-wine nevus, which would be considered successful freezing.
However, Yelu Nanyin's port wine stain had expanded to a large size, but the cotton swab was extremely small. It took the maid half an hour to freeze all the port wine stains on Yelu Nanyin's face.
"Princess?" the maid said with a horrified look on her face. She saw that all of Yelu Nanyin's bright red moles had blisters, and half of her face was swollen, making her look extremely scary.
"It doesn't matter, this is a normal reaction. Doctor Fan has already made it clear!" Yelu Nanyin was naturally aware of the changes in her face and said calmly.
The maid felt slightly relieved.
"According to Doctor Fan's prescription, the most dangerous moment will come next. During the recovery period from frostbite, the skin will be itchy and unbearable. Once it is scratched unconsciously, scars will be left and all previous efforts will be wasted." Yelu Nanyin said solemnly.
"Then what should we do?" the maid asked in shock.
Yelu Nanyin ordered: "No matter how unbearably itchy I am, you have to advise me to hold it back. It's okay when I'm awake. The most difficult thing is when I'm asleep. The second class takes turns guarding me at night." Princess, don’t let me accidentally break my face in my sleep. Of course, I will take the initiative to restrain my hands at night to cooperate with you and others."
"This slave understands!" the maids solemnly said.
As Yelu Nanyin's personal maids, she naturally understood that Yelu Nanxin's heart ailment was her appearance. In order to restore her appearance, the princess had sacrificed too much. Now that she finally had a cure, there was absolutely no room for error.
Yelu Nanyin opened the tent and felt the long night outside. She had lived in the north for a long time, so she naturally knew that after the winter solstice, the long night would recede and the days would get longer.
Now that she has obtained Fan Zheng's evil prescription, the night that belongs to her will gradually leave. One day, she will be able to walk fearlessly in the daytime.
In the bitter cold of the far north, medicine still shines like the aurora even on the desolate snowfields.
In the relatively warm Song Dynasty, doctors were even more prosperous.
Hospitals sprung up in major cities like bamboo shoots after a rain. Medical problems were solved one after another. A large amount of Chinese patent medicines were transported to all parts of the Song Dynasty, shining like the sun on the people of the entire Song Dynasty.
In the DPRK, the medical party headed by Su Song has begun to take shape, complementing the medical party.
"Report to the official family! The three major hospitals of the medical family have opened pediatrics at the same time to summarize the world's pediatric diseases to help our children in the Song Dynasty grow up healthily."
In the court, the imperial doctor ordered Qian Yi to say solemnly.
All the officials in the court suddenly stared at Qian Yi.
For a long time, doctors have always taken care of themselves. When encountering a terminal disease, they can only resort to saying that medicine will not kill anyone.
After Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor, doctors became proactive and actively gathered medical forces to specialize in solving difficult and complicated diseases, and achieved great results.
However, to the surprise of all the officials in the court, the doctor actually got a taste of the benefits and took the initiative to cater to the royal family. The official family gave birth to a son and two daughters. The doctor's family specially opened a pediatric hospital. Its intention was Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knew it.
"Flattery!"
Lu Dafang snorted in his heart, feeling extremely ashamed of the doctor's actions. In his opinion, the doctor's actions were just to please the officials!
However, Lu Dafang couldn't refute it. After all, doctors had a great mission to heal the children of the world, and the royal children were involved. Although he knew their intentions were impure, he couldn't object.
"Aren't doctors afraid of stealing the chicken but losing the rice?" Zhang Dun also groaned.
Everyone knows that pediatrics is difficult to treat. If something happens to the official family later, the doctor may be flattered by the horse's hoof, and eventually there will be backlash.
"Okay! Qian Aiqing is serious. A strong young man will make the country strong, and the healthy growth of young people will be the foundation of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. How can I not support such a good thing? According to the decree, every time a doctor conquers a pediatric disease, he will be awarded the title of Hanlin Doctor Officer, I will reward you with five hundred guan!" Zhao Xu said with a big wave of his hand.
He couldn't refuse this generous gift from the doctor. After all, his children could also benefit from the great development of pediatrics, so he cooperated and rewarded him generously.
"Thank you, officials!" Qian Yi took a deep breath and said.
The old and new parties couldn't help but twitch in their faces. With the resources allocated to doctors and generous rewards from the government, great progress in pediatric medicine is expected.
What's more important is that the doctor and the prince and princess are tied together, making it even more difficult to shake.
