It was as lively as ever, and the princes, emperors and grandsons were still as if they were seeing a god of plague when they saw him, but this time no one flinched.
Without him, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are both here.
"I am here to meet the Emperor, the Queen, and His Royal Highness the Prince..."
"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted his salute, "Don't treat these nonsense, and quickly treat the queen."
"I obey the order." Li Qing stood up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, there is no room for error in acupuncture treatment..."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood and waved his hand, "Everyone, stand down!"
"My son (grandson) retires."
The prince, the emperor's grandson, and the little maid who served the queen all withdrew, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang and his son in the palace.
Li Qing took out the wooden box and took out slender silver needles of different lengths, then took out a three-inch high jade vase and put the silver needle inside.
Zhu Biao asked: "Is this disinfecting?"
"Um."
"Isn't it all roasting and disinfection?" Zhu Biao was surprised. He didn't know medical skills, but he still knew these common sense.
Li Qing explained: "Fire can disinfect, but the smoke from fireworks is too strong, so the effect is not as good as my minister's."
This is a high-strength wine that he repeatedly distilled, and its content is not much worse than alcohol.
After waiting quietly for about a quarter of an hour, Li Qing took out the silver needle, placed it on a clean cotton cloth, and then carried the tray to Queen Ma's bed.
He reminded: "Madam, the first few injections will be painful."
"Yes." Queen Ma nodded, calmly and calmly, but comforted, "You don't need to be nervous."
Li Qing nodded and took a deep breath, "Mother, I'm about to begin!"
After saying that, the true energy in the body was circulating, and the essence, energy and spirit were improved to the best state. The half-foot-long silver needle was in the hand and stabbed down suddenly.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son's heart suddenly rose to their throats. The half-foot-long silver needle actually penetrated a third of the body, which was really shocking.
Li Qing's needle was fast and hard, and it was accurately inserted into the Guanyuan point. This point is located four fingers below the umbilical cord of the human body. It is an important point for strengthening the whole body on the Ren meridian. Stimulating it with acupuncture can enhance the function of the organs and improve the quality of the body. Human immunity.
But it also comes with risks. It must be extremely fast, and at the same time, the position and depth must be grasped to the extreme. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
Because of this, the imperial doctors did not dare to apply acupuncture easily. A shake of the hand could kill the queen. The queen was a woman and could not be allowed to undress and take off her belt, which greatly increased the difficulty of acupuncture.
Even if the imperial doctor has superb acupuncture skills, he or she does not have the psychological quality.
A trace of pain appeared on Queen Ma's face, but her body did not move at all. She looked at Li Qing encouragingly and motioned for him to continue.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the silver needle and pricked it again, again under the navel, very close to the first needle, this time at the Qihai point.
The Qi Sea is where the vitality of the human body is stored. Stimulating it with acupuncture can strengthen the vitality. At the same time, it can also greatly improve the blood circulation in the pelvic cavity.
Li Qing's energy was highly concentrated and he kept his fingers moving. Just as the second needle was inserted, he immediately inserted the third needle, Zhongwan point!
Located four inches above the navel, it is the middle part of the stomach. It has the effects of warming the stomach, strengthening the spleen, and replenishing the middle and replenishing qi.
Li Qing looked serious and continued to apply acupuncture.
Quchi point activates meridians and regulates Qi and blood.
Zusanli point promotes gastrointestinal digestion and relieves neurasthenia.
Neiguan point regulates Qi, calms the mind and calms the mind.
…
After nine injections, Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed. His energy was not consumed much, but his mind was severely overdrawn.
"Please, Your Highness, go down and see how the medicine is going." Li Qing said, "In half an hour, the queen will take the medicine."
"Let's go now." Zhu Biao nodded and left in a hurry.
Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward quickly, "Sister, how do you feel?"
"It feels warm and relaxing."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy and was about to ask again when Li Qing interrupted him directly: "Your Majesty, please be patient. It is not appropriate for your Majesty to speak now."
Zhu Yuanzhang touched his nose and shut his mouth.
Li Qing adjusted his breathing and gently twisted the silver needle to stimulate the acupuncture points.
Half an hour later, the silver needles were pulled out one by one, and the medicinal soup was brought in time. After taking the medicine, Queen Ma's energy and energy were obviously much better.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son saw that Queen Ma's vitality improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was almost the same as ordinary people. Their faces were full of shock.
Some time ago, they almost all prepared for the worst, thinking that there was no way to save him, but they didn't expect that Li Qing's medical skills were so high that he managed to save the person.
This time, the two men were very happy.
Zhu Biao was about to give a reward, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang's look, and said in a low voice, "He is indispensable for the reward, but it must be completely healed by your mother. Rewards now will reduce his enthusiasm. What he can't get is the most important thing."
OK."
Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat and began to draw cakes, "Li Qing, when the queen recovers from her illness, we will make you a marquis."
"This is the duty of a minister." Li Qing said reservedly, with a look of surprise on his face, "I must do my best."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction and glanced at Zhu Biao, as if to say: Damn it, learn a little, this is the way to control people.
If this were said to others, it would be quite effective, but Li Qing just wanted to live happily and was not keen on glory and wealth.
After dealing with Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Qing turned around and asked, "My dear, do you feel any discomfort?"
Empress Ma shook her head gently, "I feel warm all over my body, and a stream of heat is flowing slowly. The heart palpitations I often had before have also alleviated a lot."
"That's good." Li Qing's tense nerves relaxed, and finally nothing went wrong.
He smiled and said: "My lady, please don't get out of bed in the morning. Eat some rice porridge and vegetables for lunch. Avoid spicy and meaty meals. In the afternoon, you can go out to get some fresh air."
By the way, doors and windows should always be opened to allow air to circulate, and no more incense should be burned in the bedroom, as it is not good for the body."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said, "Here, take down the incense burner and open the window."
The maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside the palace came in immediately, opened the windows, and moved the incense burner.
Li Qing put away the silver needle, wiped it clean and put it in a wooden box, bowed and left the queen's palace.
Empress Ma looked at Li Qing's retreating back and said softly, "Chongba, if it hadn't been for him, we would have been separated from each other by this time. My health is indeed not good. If there is an accident in the future, don't blame him.
"
"Don't say these unlucky words. Your body is recovering, and everything will be fine." Zhu Yuanzhang was arranging her hair, "You can't go ahead of us."
Queen Ma smiled and nodded, "Then you have to promise me."
"Okay, we agree." Zhu Yuanzhang promised, "No matter what happens in the future, we just won't kill him."
"The emperor's words are golden, but you can't keep your word."
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
Listening to her husband's perfunctory words, Empress Ma couldn't help but sigh to herself. She knew her man's character very well, and she couldn't stop him even if he really wanted to kill someone, let alone a verbal agreement.
…
Zhenfu Division.
As soon as Li Qing arrived, Liu Qiang gave him good news.
"Sir, the house has been found. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
"Oh? Where?"
"It's in the north of the city, less than five miles away from the Yamen and about seven miles away from the palace gate." Liu Qiang raised his eyebrows and said with a bad smile, "It's only two miles away from Zuixian Tower. What's even better is that it's right next to Jiaofangsi, only three miles away.
100 meters.”
"Well, very good." Li Qing was overjoyed, and then added: "It's not far from the palace and the Yamen, so I'm interested."
Liu Qiang nodded with a smile and said, "Sir, do you want to go and have a look?"
"become."
Li Qing took three or five of his subordinates and headed to the north of the city.
The house covers an area of about half an acre. Compared to the houses in the capital that often occupy several acres, it is not very big. However, the house is very new, and it looks like it was only built two or three years ago.
There are two wings in the east and west, with the lobby in the middle and the kitchen in front of the east wing...
Liu Qiang said: "It's a bit small, but the advantage is that the location is good and the house is new. The original owner moved to a new home and it only costs 280 taels."
"Not too young."
Li Qing was very satisfied. Compared with the houses of later generations, this single-family residence, covering an area of half an acre, was already very large.
"Where is the original owner?"
"He's nearby." Liu Qiang said, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll call him over."
Li Qing nodded and looked at his prospective new home, which had four rooms and a fairly small courtyard with a one-meter-wide gravel path in the middle and fruit trees planted beside the courtyard wall.
The pomegranates and persimmons are full of fruits. They are not yet ripe. I don’t know if they taste good, but they look pleasing to the eye.
Li Qing looked delighted. After traveling through ten years, he finally bought a house in the capital.
What's more important is that the house purchased at this time includes the homestead, which is not a good deal at all.
"I don't know where the old man has gone, otherwise I can pick him up and enjoy the happiness." Li Qing secretly complained: "It's true, a person who is more than a hundred years old still likes to run around."
