Chapter 69, The So-Called Plague

In the next few days, the emperor did not ask for Bazhen cake again.

However, Mrs. Yue suddenly came to the door.

"Wanwan, are you happy?" Mrs. Yue rushed forward with a joyful expression and held Yue Wangshu's hands.

Yue Wangshu: What?!

Yue Wangshu's eyes are about to bulge out. What kind of brain circuit does Mrs. Yue have?

Mrs. Yue said with a smile: "A few days ago, didn't you send some recipes for palace cakes? That's all. But then even the construction department came to the door and asked the Yue family to open a powder shop to sell the new products of the construction department.

You know, the Construction Department has always only done business with the Huangshang family! I asked specifically, and the Construction Department said it was an edict!"

Mrs. Yue hurriedly helped her daughter to sit down on the Arhat couch in the second room, "Tell me the truth, are you happy? Otherwise, why would the emperor suddenly show favor?"

Yue Wangshu suddenly became confused, "Mom, you are overthinking."

Mrs. Yue felt as if she had been poured cold water on her head for a moment, but she still asked with some hope: "Really?"

"No!" Yue Wangshu said categorically, the emperor and I have never been on good terms, there is a ball of yarn!

Mrs. Yue suddenly wilted, "Oh, my miserable daughter!"

Yue Wangshu could only coax: "How can it be so fast? The emperor has many things to do every day, so he can't come often, not to mention that there is no good news for the concubines in the palace."

By the way, Emperor Bingyangzi is still not good enough.

Mrs. Yue sighed, "I'm too impatient."

Saying that, Mrs. Yue hurriedly forced out a smile: "But the Emperor still cares about you. Given time, you will definitely be able to conceive a dragon fetus."

Yue Wangshu couldn't deny it, so he could only vaguely say: "It also depends on luck..."

Mrs. Yue patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Don't worry, my mother has donated sesame oil to several of the most efficacious Guanyin temples in Beijing. The Bodhisattva will definitely bless you."

Yue Wangshu: Feudal superstition is unacceptable!

Mrs. Yue thought to herself that originally her family was in a tight situation and could not spare much money to pray for Wan Wan, but now things are better. The dim sum shop has a steady flow of money, and the cosmetics shop has to make a lot of money every day.

"The most important thing is that you can capture the emperor's heart. Only in this way can you have a future." Mrs. Yue also did not expect that her daughter was quite capable.

Yue Wangshu looked more embarrassed and said, "Mom, stop talking."

Mrs. Yue couldn't help but smile, Wanwan was still so shy. However, since entering the palace, Wanwan was no longer as close to her as before. She no longer called her "mother", but only "mother".

But then I thought about it, now that my status is different and I am bound by rules and etiquette, it is naturally not as good as when I was in the boudoir.

Suddenly, Mrs. Yue carefully looked at her daughter's figure, and couldn't help but lower her voice and said: "I see that your figure has become plumper. Do you really have no good news? If you do, don't hide it from me."

Yue Wangshu only felt a flock of crows flying overhead, "No, I just finished my letter to the moon a few days ago!"

Mrs. Yue sighed in despair, Wanwan had said so, so it must be gone.

"It's not that my mother is urging you. This woman, without children, is not safe after all. Especially since you are still a concubine and are in this situation." Mrs. Yue sighed endlessly.

What else could Yue Wangshu say, so he could only say comforted: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Having this mother is really a headache.

At this moment, the eunuch Xiao Xingzi came in and reported: "Master, Doctor Hu is here."

Mrs. Yue looked puzzled: "You have recovered from your illness. Why is the imperial doctor here?"

Yue Wangshu casually made up the reason: "I just come here regularly to ask for peace of mind." There is indeed such a rule in the palace, and as a married woman, she is indeed qualified to enjoy such treatment.

It's just that Dr. Hu is here to teach her medical skills.

Yue Wangshu said casually: "I'll ask Dr. Hu to go to the side hospital to have tea and take a rest. I'll have lunch with my mother, and then I'll ask her to come over for pulse diagnosis."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yue stood up hurriedly and said: "The imperial physician in the palace must not be neglected. Shuyuan had better meet the imperial physician as soon as possible. It's time for me to go back."

Although the Imperial Mansion is not as good as the palace, Mrs. Yue is still very cautious and courteous. She is very respectful to everyone in the palace who is of some importance.

"Okay then, I'll see mother off." Yue Wangshu personally sent Mrs. Yue out of the hall, and then directly asked Dr. Hu to go to the nearby pharmacy.

This is the place where Yue Wangshu concocts, stores medicinal materials, and prepares Rendan pills. As soon as he enters, the aroma of the medicine hits his nostrils, but Yue Wangshu doesn't dislike the smell.

Doctor Hu looked at it carefully and couldn't help but said: "The Rendan pills prepared by Shuyuan are all very good, but these medicinal materials are of different years, so they are somewhat mixed."

They are all wild, so where is the difference between "good and bad"? She felt that Dr. Hu was being nice today.

Doctor Hu smiled slightly and said, "Weichen has brought some good medicinal materials from the Imperial Pharmacy. If Shuyuan wants to make pills or prescribe medicine, she can use these. In the future, she won't have to go to the mountain to collect medicines herself."

Yue Wangshu was confused: "Is this what the emperor meant?"

Ya's control is quite broad!

Dr. Hu was just an old doctor who was passionate about medical skills. He was really not good at lying, but he didn't dare to betray the emperor. He could only laugh with him and quickly changed the subject: "Today, Weichen will explain to Shuyuan how to treat the plague! Shuyuan hasn't always been there. Are you interested in this?"

Yue Wangshu didn't want to embarrass his teacher, so he nodded, "As far as I know, plague is not a disease, right?"

Imperial Physician Hu nodded: "Any disease that is widely spread, spreads easily from one to ten, or spreads from ten to hundreds, and which kills people seriously can be called a plague."

Are they malignant infectious diseases? Smallpox, cholera, typhoid, malaria, and even the Black Death that was once prevalent in the West should all be included.

Doctor Hu looked solemn and presented two more medical books with both hands. They were "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber". "Both of these books are masterpieces on the treatment of plague. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing once wrote "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" "It's a pity that it was lost, and only fragments of it remain."

Speaking of this, Dr. Hu couldn't help but feel very sad. "After collecting and sorting it out, later generations were able to piece together "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber". Although not complete, they are also must-read books for those who study medicine. Shu Yuan If you want to improve your medical skills, you must study these two books."

Yue Wangshu hurriedly held the disciple ceremony: "Please also ask Dr. Hu to teach me."

Imperial Physician Hu stayed at the Rose Ridge Imperial Manor for three days, and devoted himself to teaching every day. Yue Wangshu absorbed it like a sponge, but he still felt that the medical skills were vast and he seemed to understand more and more things.

Plague, this is probably the most difficult disease to treat in ancient times, and it is also a huge mountain on the heads of countless doctors.

No, in modern times, infectious diseases are still a huge problem.

If Yue Wangshu wanted to understand it, it would undoubtedly be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

It didn't matter if she didn't understand. She decided to calm down and copy these two medical techniques first, memorizing them while copying them. As for truly understanding and thoroughly understanding them, she had to take her time.
