In March, the belle in the palace gave birth to the fourth prince.
When Cen Yun was first granted the title of Zhaoyi, she was promoted to Jieyu based on her mother and son.
This Zhong Jieyu had only been in the palace for a year, and her father was offering wine to the Imperial Academy.
The Zhong family is also a family of poetry and etiquette. Zhong Jieyu has been famous for her talents since she was a child, and her appearance is also very beautiful.
In this harem, the queen holds all the power, and Cen Yunchu favors the sixth palace.
Zhong Zhaoyi knew that she could not be compared with these two people, but fortunately she had a son by her side, so she had nothing else to ask for.
Besides, the emperor would come to her occasionally to see the children or listen to her playing the piano.
Therefore, she can be regarded as more than above or below in this palace.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the fourth prince has developed eczema, which keeps getting worse.
If this disease is not considered serious, it is difficult to cure.
The imperial doctor made repeated diagnoses and treatments, and finally said: "The fourth prince suffered from heat poisoning in his womb, and the hot weather made it even more serious.
Although there are several prescriptions that can cure it, the prince is too young to be able to use the medicine, so it is inevitable that the treatment will damage the other."
Zhong Jieyu couldn't help but feel worried after hearing this. The child couldn't eat well or sleep well because of this. He was irritable and crying every day, no matter how much he was coaxed.
How can a mother-in-law bear this when she is only a little old and can't speak well?
Therefore, I begged the imperial doctor: "Is there no way to do it? Is it just a matter of time? At least we can find a way. The child is really pitiful."
The imperial doctor hesitated and said, "It's not that there's nothing we can do, but I'm just afraid it won't be easy."
After hearing this, Zhong Jieyu hurriedly said: "Just say it, if there is a way, I will give it a try."
The imperial doctor said: "The most reliable way to treat eczema in children is to take Suqing Dan, which can not only strengthen the innate vitality, but also clear away heat, poison and wind evil."
It's just...it's just that it's so hard to come by. A pair of elixirs won't be ready for three to five years, and there still have to be no mistakes in the process.
In previous years, Tai Hospital could only manage one or two out of ten visits. At the beginning of the year, Cen Zhaoyi fell ill once and had thirty pills left, so the emperor ordered them to be sent there.
If Zhong Jieyu wants it, she can go to Concubine Cen and ask."
After the imperial doctor left, the maid in front of Zhong Jieyu said: "Since the imperial doctor said so, why don't you please ask the emperor for help? If the emperor just says a word, he will be afraid that he will not come to this Suxing Pill?"
Zhong Jieyu thought for a while but shook her head and said: "It's inappropriate to do this. Since the Holy One is busy with state affairs every day, why should we let him worry about this little thing.
Secondly, doing this will inevitably lead to the suspicion of using the emperor to pressure Cen Zhaoyi. Since we are asking for help, we must have the attitude of asking for help."
She and Cen Yunchu had always been in harmony with each other, but now they had to compromise for the sake of their son.
Zhong Jieyu is not stupid. Even if she begged the emperor, the emperor agreed. As long as Cen Yunchu said that he had finished eating, wouldn't it still be the same thing?
This medicine is extremely rare and one pill is worth thousands of gold.
If Cen Yunchu kept it by himself for emergencies, who could say anything?
Zhong Zhaoyi could only show her sincerity, hoping that Cen Yunchu would give her a few for the sake of her child.
Zhong Jieyu came to see Cen Yunchu, but Cen Yunchu didn't know what he meant at first.
However, thinking that she was always easy-going and never had any problems with him, and seemed to have an indifferent temperament, I invited her in to talk.
Zhong Jieyu saw Li and sat down, and Cen Yunchu asked her why she came.
Zhong Jieyu thought about her words before speaking: "I shouldn't have bothered you, I really have no choice."
Then he told the story about the fourth prince and explained: "The imperial doctor treated him repeatedly, but he didn't see any improvement. The child was tortured so badly that he cried and fussed every day.
The imperial doctor said that the child is too young and cannot be treated with medicine. Only Suqing Dan can cure it. However, the hospital does not have this medicine, so I came to ask the empress if there is any left here."
After hearing this, Cen Yunchu said: "I have eaten this before. As for whether there is any left, I don't care. I have to ask the person who is serving me."
Fulan was in charge of Cen Yunchu's first offer of bait and supplements. She didn't dare to agree rashly, for fear of something else going on, so she just said: "It's been a long time, and I can't remember it all. I'll go look for it later."
.”
Cen Yunchu said: "Look carefully. If there is any, give Zhong Jieyu a few pills. Don't let the child suffer."
Zhong Jieyu thanked her profusely and didn't want to disturb him any more, so she got up and left.
After she left, Fulan asked Cen Yunchu: "Madam, there are still twenty pills left. Do you want to get some for them?"
"She also said just now that only three pills are enough." Cen Yunchu said, "I don't think she lied. The hospital does not have this medicine anymore. Besides, the child is innocent and of royal blood, so he should be given it."
After hearing what she said, Fulan brought the jade bottle containing the medicine, poured out three pills from it, wrapped them in fine paper, and personally sent them to Zhong Jieyu's palace.
Zhong Jieyu was very grateful for the medicine and came to Cen Yunchu the next day to express her gratitude. Unfortunately, Cen Yunchu was not there.
After the fourth prince took a pill of Suqing Pill, most of his eczema was cured, which shows that this thing is really effective.
Zhong Jieyu was naturally happy, and she felt more and more grateful for Cen Yunchu.
The imperial doctor came over and took a look and said that it would take two pills at most or one pill at least to remove the root.
The emperor came to Zhong Jieyu's palace that day. He had not been here for some days.
The fourth prince happened to wake up, and the emperor teased him for a while.
Zhong Jieyu then talked about Cen Yunchu's administration of the medicine, expressing gratitude both inside and outside her words.
In fact, the emperor treated her well. The main reason was that she was not as hostile to Cen Yunchu as some concubines.
Zhong Jieyu originally thought that the eczema was gone and the child would be fine. Who would have thought that although the skin had calmed down, the child would become yellow and thin day by day.
Although I had eczema before, I was also white and fat.
Although I still eat and drink now, I no longer grow anyhow.
Although I don't cry or make trouble every day, I am very lack of energy and always feel drowsy.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, thinking it was because the weather was hot and it was inevitable that the child would have a loss of appetite.
But gradually I felt something was wrong, so I invited imperial doctors to take a look. Some said that the spleen and stomach were not in harmony, some said that the liver meridian was not smooth, and some said that it was just a bitter summer.
There is no consensus, there is no fixed conclusion.
A month or two later, the child has become skin and bones.
Zhong Jieyu sheds tears every day, wishing she could suffer for her son.
That day, the maid serving in front of her, named Yushu, hurried in from outside. She didn't even bother to salute when she entered the door, so she said, "Mr. Zan is back!"
Everyone in the palace knows the name of Imperial Physician Zan, even though he has not been in the palace for three years.
"Has Dr. Zan been reinstated?" Zhong Jieyu asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"That's right, I just heard what they said from outside." Yu Shu said, "The medical skills of Imperial Physician Zan are extremely good. If you ask him to come and show the Fourth Prince, he will definitely be cured."
"In that case, go and invite him quickly." Zhong Jieyu couldn't wait any longer and wished she could just grab her son's illness and throw it away.
