Treatment of malaria was a very troublesome matter in the Yin and Shang era, and the symptoms were also contagious. Emperor Xin saw that the maids serving Nezha had symptoms of varying degrees.
"It's a show-off!"
Hearing about such a serious disease, Li Jing's wife Yin almost couldn't stand, and then she collapsed on the ground and cried non-stop.
Li Jing was also filled with tears and said, "Li Jing usually does nothing to offend others, so why would he let a child get such a vicious disease?"
Di Xin frowned and thought, the best medicine to treat malaria is artemisinin, but extracting artemisinin at this moment is simply a dream.
Although there are many successful prescriptions for treating malaria in "Emergency Prescriptions", they are not definitely treatable. A slight deviation would be bad.
After much thought, I still don't have a complete grasp of what to do.
Suddenly, a thought came to me, so I shouted, "How could I forget this?"
"Come here! Go to the palace quickly and get the bark of the cinchona tree that Nan Bohou has brought to the palace."
Previously, Marquis Nanbo brought a precious tree to the palace, saying it was a sacred tree somewhere in the south. Emperor Xin was very excited and went to visit it. When he saw that it was a cinchona tree, he didn't pay attention to it. After all, the fourth uncle
There are many rare items in Hou Jin's palace, so he can care about them.
After a while, a guard brought the bark of the cinchona tree. Then Di Xin soaked the bark to extract the sap and tasted it with his mouth. He suddenly felt very bitter.
"Hurry and give this water to Nezha. It should be cured."
Emperor Xin said this, and Mrs. Yin directly fed the bitter water into it. Sure enough, after drinking it, Nezha stopped struggling and fell asleep after a while.
When Yin saw this miraculous effect, she immediately knelt down, but was helped up by Di Xin.
"Sister Wang, we are a family, so there is no need to be polite. The water extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree was also fed to these maids, and they all had symptoms."
Mrs. Yin nodded and obeyed directly. The maids also kowtowed in thanks.
After another hour, Di Xin left Li Mansion.
When he came back, Huang Feihu seemed to be puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, there is something strange in this, why does the infant Nezha get malaria? This is contagious."
This kind of blundering happened from time to time in various places in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, especially in the army, where they were often defeated one by one. Huang Feihu was quite familiar with this symptom.
Di Xin looked at Huang Feihu in front of him and said, "It's nothing more than the dirty things between the women. I heard that Li Jing married three concubines, and they were all daughters of high families. If it weren't for the fact that his wife, Yin, would be an orphan."
Sister Wang, I’m afraid things have turned upside down a long time ago.”
Li Jing was a popular figure in front of the King of People. He rose from being a small military officer to a general who guarded the palace and was relied on by the King of People. It would be strange if such an upstart was not taken into consideration.
Although the Yin family had three sons, Jin Zha and Muzha were both practicing outside. Nezha, who stayed behind, was not only adopted as the adopted son by the king, but also the adopted son of the army marshal Huang Feihu. He could be said to be very noble.
This son naturally became a thorn in the eyes of those high-ranking girls. Emperor Xin did not expose them for the sake of Li Jing's face. How could a smart person like Li Jing not understand?
I'm afraid if Di Xin steps forward, it will cause a huge commotion in Li's house.
Sure enough, the next day, there were rumors in Chaoge that a concubine in Li Jing's house had been beaten to death, as well as several managers in the house. For a while, people in Chaoge City had different opinions, and the strange thing was that the concubine was also a member of a high-ranking noble family.
However, the noble family showed no intention of coming to ask questions, as if the matter did not exist, and even sent a lot of rare medicinal materials to the young master Nezha to replenish his health.
Li Jingzheng's wife, the Yin family, also won a great victory in this incident. She was in the limelight for a while and became one of the most domineering ladies.
After this incident, Emperor Xin also came directly to Concubine Huang Guifei in the West Palace.
Huang Guifei, who has not been seen for many days, has a slightly bulging belly, and it seems that she has passed through the dangerous first three months.
"Why does your Majesty have time to come to my place?"
Di Xin leaned down and kissed the swollen belly.
"I miss you so much, I came here to see you."
Concubine Huang couldn't help but blush when she saw the friendly Di Xin. Her original military spirit disappeared at this moment because of her pregnancy.
After saying that, Di Xin took Huang Guifei's pulse again and found that the fetus was stable, so he felt relieved.
"The day before yesterday, Su Guiren came to me and gave me some nourishing donkey glue, saying it can be used to replenish blood."
Hearing Su Daji's gift, Di Xin said "oh" and looked at the donkey glue again. Sure enough, it was made from donkey skin, which was quite surprising.
"This donkey glue has the function of replenishing blood. If you add red dates and walnut kernels, it will have a miraculous effect. Huang Guifei just eats it."
When Huang Guifei heard what Di Xin said, she felt relieved and ordered Donkey Jiao to make porridge.
"It's just that Your Majesty, Su Guiren said that my baby is a girl. This..."
Huang Guifei was a little disappointed and was about to shed tears, but unexpectedly Di Xin burst into laughter.
"The girl is exactly what Gu wants. Gu guarantees that she is Gu's favorite princess!"
When Huang Guifei heard this, she couldn't help but hugged Di Xin, and she was even more grateful.
[Concubine Huang is grateful and her admiration value increases to 99%]
After being affectionate with Concubine Huang for a while, they came to Concubine Yang's Xinqing Palace.
Before entering, I happened to see Concubine Yang tearing up a fan angrily. On the fan, there was a picture of a loving mother and a son, but this child was a daughter, which obviously indicated that Concubine Yang would give birth to a baby girl.
This fan was not given as a gift by anyone else, but by Su Daji, noble Su. Not only did he give this fan, but he also gave many precious spices.
As soon as she saw Di Xin, Concubine Yang threw herself into Di Xin's arms and started sobbing.
Emperor Xin caressed Concubine Yang and comforted her until he realized that Su Daji had sent spices that morning. He was very happy at first, but unexpectedly Su Daji also sent a pair of fans and said that Concubine Yang's baby was a girl.
This angered Concubine Yang, but fortunately Concubine Yang did not get angry on the spot and tore open the fan afterwards.
Di Xin smiled and said, "What's wrong with the baby girl? Gu loves daughters the most. Gu guarantees that if the baby girl is the apple of Gu's eye, she won't trade it for ten sons."
"real?"
The tearful Concubine Yang looked up at the generous Di Xin, who nodded.
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, the originally dull Concubine Yang's temperament changed drastically and she became very sensitive, and she needed a good meal to comfort her.
[Due to the effectiveness of the consolation, Concubine Yang’s admiration value increased to 99%]
"By the way, Your Majesty, my master heard that I am going to give birth and has already arrived at the Yang Mansion. I also ask for your permission so that my master can enter the palace at any time."
"Oh? Who is your master?"
Di Xin smiled and looked at Concubine Yang with a doting expression.
"My master is a casual cultivator from Fenghuang Mountain, nicknamed Qingluan Douque, and named Taoist Longji. She is a famous female cultivator."
"Oh? Princess Longji!"
Speaking of how famous Princess Long Ji was from an extraordinary family, Di Xin couldn't help but wonder in a bad way whether he should let that boy Hong Jin come to Chaoge to meet his future wife.
