Boom, boom, two muffled sounds came from behind the dark clouds.
As if to shake away the dark clouds that filled the sky, several golden snakes danced wildly in the gaps between the clouds, and together with the sound of thunder, the clouds covering the sky were torn apart.
The lights in the old man's palace were brightly lit. The candle flames, covered in glazed lampshades, danced faintly with the thunder outside, and sparks shot out from time to time.
There was silence in the hall. Everyone opened their eyes wide, held their breath and even looked nervously at the dirty old Taoist.
Everyone has a question in their mind, can it be done?
Some of the civil servants even thought it was ridiculous. Even the imperial doctors raised by the imperial court could not do anything. The emperor's grandson could just find a quack magician to bring him back to life?
Besides, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, how can you believe this?
However, everyone also felt that the situation was excusable. The emperor's grandson was eager to save his ancestors and would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, the historian who was always close to him was deliberately blocked. If this failed, all the blame would be on this Taoist priest. If it succeeded, it would not be written down in the history books.
Beside the old man's bed, there were only Zhu Yunxi and Taoist Xi Yingzhen.
The Taoist's dirty fingers, with nails full of dirt, were placed heavily on the old man's pulse, as if his nails were digging into his flesh.
This fight lasted almost half a quarter of an hour.
The Taoist frowned in thought, his expression solemn.
How? Zhu Yunxi asked in a low voice.
Ha! Xi Yingzhen didn't care about the many ministers watching around him, and sneered, "Your grandfather is not a broad-minded and open-minded person. Over the years, he has toiled his own heart out of trouble. In addition, he has been angry and angry several times."
, it would be surprising if it got better!
Bold maniac......
As soon as there was a roar around him, Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to stop him. He looked at Xi Yingzhen and asked, I want to ask you, can I save you?
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of lightning and thunder outside.
In the light and shadow of the lightning, half of Zhu Yunxi's face was as cold as an iceberg.
Xi Yingzhen looked carefully at the face in front of him, and then at the pale, sweating, comatose emperor on the dragon bed.
Your grandfather is also very lucky. If others had such a high fever, they would have turned into fools long ago! Xi Yingzhen was unforgiving, and before Zhu Yunxi could get angry, he stood up and said, "The imperial doctor over there is listening. Three cases of Shengmai Powder have been boiled into one case.
The thicker the better, drink it to your emperor!
The imperial doctors on the side did not dare to move and looked at Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly and listened to him!
But His Majesty is having trouble speaking now! The Imperial Hospital is saying that the medicine will not go in at all!
Stupid! You can't open your mouth, you can't pry? Xi Yingzhen gave him a look, you quacks, but you still want to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries? After saying that, he shouted again, "Here comes the hot water, Master Taoist, wash your hands!"
Not long after, a basin of hot water was brought, along with soap locust and other substances for cleaning.
The water was very hot, and Xi Ying was really grinning from the heat, but he was extra careful when washing his hands, rubbing and rinsing repeatedly. The dirt on his nails and the old skin sludge on his hands were gradually soaked in the water. What was originally a basin of clear water was
The water is now extremely filthy.
The water was changed twice more, and after Xi Yingzhen washed herself, she cut off her long nails under the care of the palace maid.
At this time, the medicine has been prepared.
Shengmai Powder is not a folk prescription, but a medicine commonly used in the palace. It consists of three medicinal herbs: ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis. Ginseng replenishes vitality and Ophiopogon japonicus moistens the lungs. Schisandra chinensis astringes the lungs and stops sweating. But three parts of the medicine,
Making a serving is unheard of.
Don’t rush in, Taoist, I’ll add some treasure into it!
Xi Yingzhen opened the medicine jar and smelled it. After nodding, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured some white powder into it. It wasn't much, about two dollars.
The hospital was shouting, you monster, you actually added arsenic?
What? Xi Yingzhen asked sideways.
That's poison! Taiyuan said in horror, it's poison!
You also said it is poison. It is both poison and medicine. When it harms people, it is poison, and when it saves people, it is naturally medicine! Xi Yingzhen said disdainfully, besides, medicine is three parts poison. How can there be medicine in this world that is not poisonous? You
The emperor is seriously ill, and now he must be given strong medicine. He has a poisonous heart, so he must fight poison with poison!
You...are absolutely ridiculous and unheard of! Taiyuan Hospital is doing the right thing, His Majesty is now weak and in critical condition. If you take such strong medicine, wouldn't it be...?
If you don't break it, you won't stand it. If you break it, you will stand it up. You look at the prescription and you are fooled! Xi Yingzhen laughed a few more words. You are just a doctor for the dead. You have a living person in your hands and you don't know anything about it!
The evil talk is confusing the public! The front of Tai Hospital is livid.
Who has the final say, whether to save or not? If not, please let Master Dao go back. Dinner hasn't been eaten yet? Xi Yingzhen said.
Zhu Yunxi hesitated again and again in his heart. It is not trivial to use arsenic as medicine. He said, are you sure you are fine?
If you don’t believe me, why bother forcing me to come? Xi Yingzhen said angrily, This is the temperament of your Zhu family. Employees breed suspicion, and suspicion breeds murderous intent...
You know the consequences! Zhu Yunxi suddenly grinned, his face looked a little ferocious, it can be cured, no matter how crazy you are, I will tolerate you! If it can’t be cured, hehe!
The nature of a robber, you two are carved out of the same mold!
Xi Yingzhen said angrily in a low voice, and then said, hurry up and drink the medicinal soup to your emperor!
Zhu Yunxi signaled that several imperial doctors would come forward to apologize first and then open the old man's mouth.
But the old man's jaw was clenched, and they worked for a long time, but made no progress.
Calling me a quack doctor is just a compliment to you! Xi Yingzhen cursed, and suddenly reached out and pinched the old man between his thumb and index finger, and the old man's mouth suddenly opened.
You have thrown away all the things belonging to your ancestors, and yet you are still talking shamelessly about curing diseases and saving people. Bah, you are a bunch of cowards who are obsessed with fame and wealth! Xi Yingzhen continued to curse.
His move directly shocked the people in Taiyuan Hospital. It also gave Zhu Yunxi a little more hope.
After the medicinal soup was poured down, the old man's closed eyelids trembled a few times and he let out a few vague coughs.
Xi Yingzhen solemnly took out a small bundle from his arms. Although he was dirty, the bundle was indeed clean and spotless.
He opened it carefully, and the things inside glowed dazzlingly under the reflection of the light.
A row of silver needles, varying in length and thickness on one side.
Xi Yingzhen's movements were very slow, pious, as if in some kind of ritual, and the eyes he looked at those silver needles seemed to be looking at the woman he cherished, as gentle as water.
He carefully pulled out a palm-long one and wiped it carefully with a flannel soaked in strong alcohol.
Then, he slowly took the old man's hand.
With a pop, Zhu Yunxi almost heard the sound of a needle penetrating his flesh. A long silver needle penetrated deeply along the connection between the old man's index and middle fingers.
On the bed, the old man's body shook violently.
Immediately afterwards, without giving anyone any room to speak, in a flash of lightning, all the old man’s fingers were pricked.
Zhu Yunxi noticed that the old man's face gradually showed a rare blush. He clenched his fists nervously, but found that his palms were full of sweat.
Is this acupuncture? Zhu Yunxi asked.
Xi Yingzhen rarely spoke sarcastically or said anything irrelevant, but kept a straight face and said seriously, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
As he said this, he continued to withdraw the needle and wipe it. His heart fire was too strong, cold air entered his body, and the yin and yang were out of balance. The heart fire had been accumulated for many years, and the anger attacked the heart, so his heart failed.
He has more than one disease, and the medicinal decoction can only cure the surface. To treat the inside, the only way is to use this method. The acupuncture points stimulate his heart vessels, causing them to vibrate violently, and activate blood circulation in the body!
If this method were used by others, it would definitely not work. But God has given your grandfather a good body and a good foundation, so he can withstand the hardships!
With that said, he said to the imperial doctor next to him, prepare the Angelica Four Seasons Decoction, and dissolve half of the Bezoar Baoxin Pill in your palace into the decoction. It is best to use three-year-old elixirs, and no new medicines can be used!
The imperial doctors left to go about their business, and Xi Yingzhen also polished the silver needles.
Help your grandpa get up! He said.
Zhu Yunxi waved, Pu Bucheng stepped forward, and the two of them helped the old man sit up.
This time, Xi Yingzhen placed the needle very slowly.
Two needles were inserted into the old man's temples on both sides.
If the Taoist just exerts a little effort, your life will be gone on the spot! After Xi Yingxian gave the injection, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He looked at the old man and smiled weakly, but the Taoist didn't dare. I hate you because I hate you.
But after all, I don’t dare to kill you!
With that said, he pulled out the last needle and looked at the lightning and thunder outside the window. If I kill you, you will be punished by God!
