Yan Ruozhen opened her mouth and wanted to snicker, trying not to make any sound.
"Don't snicker." Huang Chenling said with her eyes closed.
"Not even the villain is smiling," she said quibly. She just didn't laugh out loud, her mouth had already formed an arc.
Huang Chenling remained silent and still didn't intend to open her eyes.
"Second Prince, can I help you apply some medicine?" She acted faster than her words, and when he didn't answer, she took it as his acquiescence.
She took out the white magnolia ointment she carried with her, took out a little bit with her fingers, and applied it flatly on his face. Huang Chenling opened her eyes slightly and said, "Go and convince that quack doctor tomorrow to hand over the prescription."
"Perhaps the second prince didn't respect him, so he was kicked away. The old uncle said that he has been practicing medicine for decades, and he is not a quack. You should feel weak and ask for help, so as not to hurt your harmony." Yan Ruocheng said.
.
Huang Chenling pinched her thigh lightly and said displeasedly: "You are also a kind of quack doctor, and you have the nerve to speak for others."
Yan Ruozhen really wanted to give him a look, but if it were her, she would kick him away.
"Hanshan stewed sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were not ripe, but the scabies, pus, and sores were ripe. Can the second prince guess what herbal medicine it is?"
"What, what herbal medicine are you talking about?" Huang Chenling had no idea what she was talking about.
"If you can guess, that old uncle might be able to tell you the prescription. Are you sure that his prescription is useful?" Yan Ruocheng asked a little doubtfully.
"He once cured people from the plague in the village, but he refused to cure anyone else, so I asked him for a prescription. But he refused to cooperate with us even to the death," Huang Chenling said.
"I can guess pretty well. I'm going to ask the medical officer. Second Prince, you can apply it yourself." She seemed to have thought of something, and handed the white magnolia ointment to Huang Chenling's hand, just one tube.
He ran out like an arrow.
"Hey! Wait a minute! What if..." Huang Chenling still wanted to call her, so she helped him apply the sores on her body first. Now she was itching and hurting. Before she could finish calling, she had already run away without a trace.
of.
He looked at the white magnolia ointment on his hand, thinking it was the sore ointment she had used last time, so he applied it slowly by himself.
Yan Ruocheng ran to ask several medical officers to see if they knew the answer to the mystery of "Hanshan stews sweet potatoes, and the scabies, pus, and sores are cooked when the sweet potatoes are not ripe." According to a certain medical officer's understanding, he thought
A kind of herbal medicine called "Fo Tan Mu" is a kind of grass with roots that look like sweet potatoes. It is a good medicine for healing poisonous wounds. It also has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and diuresis, and reducing joint swelling and pain.
Yan Ruozhen didn't make any guesses and believed what the medical officer said. The answer was "Huo Tan Mother". After she asked, she ran back to find Huang Chenling.
It happened that the male doctor came to the side room with the decoction prepared for the second prince. He entered the room one step ahead of her, and then heard a startled voice coming from inside: "Ah! Second prince, you..."
Yan Ruocheng heard the sound, quickened his pace and walked in. He was stunned when he saw everything.
Huang Chenling applied her bottle of magnolia ointment, which caused skin allergies. The sores swelled up, became big and red, and looked very scary.
He also took off his shirt, revealing his upper body covered with red sores. The male doctor was stunned, and Yan Ruocheng asked him to put down the medicinal soup and call the medical officer quickly.
"What kind of ointment did you apply on me? How did it become like this? It itches me to death!" Huang Chenling couldn't help but want to scratch it with her hands.
"Don't scratch the itch, just bear with it for a while." Yan Ruocheng stepped forward and held both of his hands to prevent him from messing around.
"I was killed miserably, hey! What should I do?" Huang Chenling looked at the ugly red sores all over her body and became irritable.
Yan Ruocheng came closer and kissed the side of his face gently. Huang Chenling was stunned, pushed her away, and hurriedly found a clean handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and said, "Are you stupid? This kind of thing
You even kissed me secretly at that time, what if you get infected? Hurry up and rinse your mouth, why are you still sitting here!"
Yan Ruocheng chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, it'll be okay. The villain is ugly enough anyway, so he won't be afraid of red sores all over his body. Second Prince, please calm down and wait until the medical officer takes a look."
"You, you are really stupid!" Huang Chenling looked at her with eyes that softened by three points and became affectionate by seven points.
The medical officer arrived and diagnosed Huang Chenling. However, Yan Ruocheng was arrested and questioned. Huang Chenling made a sound and stopped the matter from being pursued further. She was fine, but was punished to chop firewood for a night.
.
At noon the next day, Yan Ruocheng cooked a few vegetarian dishes that he was good at, and then went to visit the old man Po Guan.
"Old uncle, I made delicious vegetarian dishes for you to try. Come sit down and drink tea." She went in politely, took out the cakes, made a cup of tea for the old man, and said diligently.
"Girl, your cooking skills are not bad, how are you? Can you think of any herbal medicine?" The old man sat down, picked up the chopsticks, took a few bites of vegetarian vegetables to taste, and said.
Yan Ruocheng also sat down and said confidently: "It's Huo Tan Mu. Old uncle, did I guess correctly?"
The old man took a sip of tea and said casually: "I guess you are right."
"That's great, old uncle...can you give me the prescription?" Yan Ruozhen cast her starry eyes, looked at him expectantly, and said pleadingly.
The old man was chewing vegetarian vegetables and said: "You all know that as long as you have herbs, you still need my prescription. Everyone in the village has a different body constitution, and the ingredients of the herbs that need to be prepared are also different. You still don't understand me.
Why do you only heal one person and don’t bother to heal others, because it’s too much trouble?”
Yan Ruozhen suddenly understood, "I understand, hahaha... It turns out you are just lazy, old uncle."
"I'm already old, and if you have to treat so many people, it's like killing me," the old man said.
"Old uncle, why don't you want to cooperate with the Second Prince and the others? They are here just to save people." Yan Ruozhen asked puzzledly.
"Why are they so arrogant? Just because they are sent by the imperial court, they give orders to others and are superior to others. What I hate most is when officials look down on others." The old man became more and more angry as he spoke.
"Let me apologize to you on their behalf, old uncle. Where can I find charcoal in this area? Do you have any stock here?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
"In the past few years, the area around Hanshan Lingshi has had more snow than midsummer. Herbs hardly grow at all. I searched the entire mountain but couldn't find two or three. I don't have much in stock here. It's only enough for two or three people at most.
.You should go back and ask those officials to report it to the court and send someone to transport it." The old man said instructing.
"Well, okay, that's all."
After finishing the vegetarian dishes, the old man walked to the doctor's cabinet, took out the remaining fotan mother from a small grid, handed it to Yan Ruocheng, and said instructively: "Look at the appearance of this grass, many people don't pay attention to its roots.
Details: Although it looks like a sweet potato, it is easy to recognize, but it has whiskers, and there are fibrous roots on the lower nodes; the surface is light green or purple-brown, with fine ribs; it is brittle and easy to break, and the cross section is gray-yellow. There are some fake ones on the market.
The fotan mother is a fake herb, and it’s hard to tell the real thing from the fake one. You need to remind those officials.”
Yan Ruocheng nodded, packed up the charcoal trees, thanked the old man, and ran back to report to the medical officer.
Huang Chenling's condition has worsened in the past few days, and the medical officials did not dare to disturb him for rest. The medical officials discussed it and developed a comprehensive prescription. However, they were afraid that if it was not effective, they would be held accountable by the Holy One. So they agreed that,
They needed to find a backup scapegoat. If the Holy Spirit started to blame, they would blame this scapegoat. So, they unanimously selected this person to be Yan Ruocheng!
Because they believed that the second prince was deliberately protecting this young medical apprentice and must have a close relationship with him, so it was best to choose her.
Yan Ruozhen was still kept in the dark about this matter. In the past few days, she had been busy taking care of Huang Chenling's recurring fever and vomiting.
"Ugh! I... don't drink anymore. I feel like vomiting when I smell this medicine... vomit...!" Huang Chenling said as she vomited and sat on the bed sickly.
Yan Ruozhen held the bitter medicine and coaxed him like a child, saying: "Second Prince, drink a little more. If you don't drink, the disease will not go away. Be good! Open your mouth wide and drink a little more."
"I won't drink! If you say anything else, I will vomit on you... vomit!" Huang Chenling was nauseated again and couldn't stop vomiting.
Seeing him vomiting so hard, Yan Ruocheng felt that there was no way to go on like this. She thought about it carefully, and finally came up with the method that was still her best and most desperate, which was to feed him medicine by mouth.
.
She twisted a clean towel, wiped his mouth, and said, "Second Prince, can you close your eyes first? I want to give you an acupuncture to stop vomiting."
"Just give the acupuncture, why do you have to close your eyes?" Huang Chenling asked puzzledly.
"Because you were too focused on vomiting. If you don't relax, it's useless for me to give you acupuncture. You'd better listen to me and close your eyes first." Yan Ruocheng lied to him.
Huang Chenling had no choice but to close her eyes obediently, and Yan Ruocheng took a sip of the medicinal soup and brought it to his mouth.
At the touch of her lips, Huang Chenling immediately knew what she wanted to do, and she tightly pursed her lips to prevent her from having the chance to deliver the medicine.
Huang Chenling squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Don't even think about feeding me with your mouth!"
Yan Ruocheng was about to use his trump card. He poked his armpit with a finger, not too hard or too lightly. Huang Chenling felt the soreness in his armpit, which made him grin.
Yan Ruocheng seized the opportunity and sent the medicine directly.
"Uh! You, I won't drink, uh!"
"Take another sip, don't be pretentious."
After just drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, the two of them stayed together on the bed for many hours. Sometimes they would fight and scold each other, and sometimes they would roll over on the bed, loving each other.
A few hours later, Yan Ruocheng was lying on the end of the bed as tired as a crazy woman with her hair disheveled. She finally succeeded in feeding Huang Chenling the bitter medicine.
Huang Chenling pushed her waist with her foot and said, "Hey, get up and help me beat my legs. Don't be lazy."
"Second Prince, you can't let the villain take a break, you've become like a villain." Yan Ruozhen pointed at his disheveled hair and said.
"You said you wanted to take good care of me, don't you want to fulfill your responsibilities?" Huang Chenling said lazily.
Yan Ruocheng complained in his heart: Then you have to cooperate with me, and you won't obey everything.
Huang Chenling actually enjoyed Yan Ruocheng being around to take care of him. He opposed her in every way and teased her. This was the only way to soothe his irritable mood.
