Wei Jingxuan also heard the news and sneered: "The emperor really cares about the imperial concubine. This is the first time he has set foot in the harem since the outbreak of the epidemic." Although she was smiling, her eyebrows were filled with strong jealousy.
Xianyue can get such care and concern from Hongli.
Zhuang Zheng said at the side: "My lord, now that the emperor is also involved, can we tell you the recipe? If it continues, I will worry that the matter will get bigger and bigger and will be out of control."
Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said coldly: "What, are you scared?"
Zhuang Zheng said anxiously: "The epidemic is terrible. You have seen it with your own eyes, and some people have died. Although I have a prescription in my hand, it is better to stop it in moderation, just in case..."
Wei Jingxuan raised her hand and said: "Okay, I don't want the emperor to be in danger, but... now that the recipe is revealed, won't the imperial concubine and Yu Liu save their lives?"
Xiao Yuanzi said: "Yes, if this is the case, everything we have done will be in vain. Unless Dr. Zhuang has a way to solve these two confidant problems for the master, the master will not stop you from coming up with the prescription."
Meritorious service." As he said that, he said to Wei Jingxuan flatteringly: "Master, are you right?"
"You talkative!" Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said to Zhuang Zheng, "What? Have you thought of a way?"
Zhuang Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "Every medicinal material contains three poisons. If used well, it will be a good way to cure people's illnesses. If used poorly, it will be a poison that kills people. Weichen can try to aggravate some of them."
With the right amount of medicine, you can have the best of both worlds.”
Wei Jingxuan raised her lips as beautiful as roses and said in a cold voice: "The best of both worlds, I'm afraid it will be a fatal disaster."
Imperial Physician Zhuang said in astonishment: "Why would you say this, noble man?"
Wei Jingxuan flicked her nails and said: "You don't know how much the emperor attaches to the imperial concubine. Even though he knew that she was infected with the epidemic, he still went to the Yanxi Palace to accompany her. If your prescription did not kill others, it killed you alone.
Imperial Concubine, do you think the Emperor will spare you?"
When she said this, Zhuang Zheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat. In a hurry, he really didn't think of this problem and said quickly: "Then... what should I do? My lord, you have to help me."
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, if you help me with things, how can I not help you?" After a moment of pause, she said: "Let's do this. When you go back, tell Dr. Fang that you have thought of treating this patient.
A good remedy for minor epidemics; however, remember, the prescription given to him must be aggravating to an excessive degree."
Zhuang Zheng said horrified: "How can this happen? Wei Chen just said that once the dosage is increased, good medicine becomes poison and can kill people. When the emperor blames him, Wei Chen will definitely not escape death penalty. You... you are this
..." He wanted to ask Wei Jingxuan if she wanted to harm him, but he didn't dare to say it.
Wei Jingxuan saw through his thoughts and said coldly: "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in a hurry? After giving the prescription to Imperial Physician Fang, he will definitely go to Zhongcui Palace to find a few people to test the effect of the prescription.
When the time comes, you will personally be responsible for taking the medicine and decoction it, and then when no one is paying attention, take out the aggravated medicinal materials, won't the poison turn into good medicine again?"
Zhuang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's okay, but... why go to so much trouble? Isn't it better to just give the correct prescription to Dr. Fang?"
"If you give the prescription directly to Dr. Fang, I really can't save your life." Under Zhuang Zheng's puzzled eyes, Wei Jingxuan continued: "After curing the first group of people, you tell Dr. Fang,
It is best to try a few more times to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, and the second time, you do not do anything and let them use the 'poison' to treat people. You know exactly what the result will be."
Zhuang Zheng was confused when he heard this, "I'm sorry that I'm stupid and don't understand what you mean."
Wei Jingxuan caressed her cheek and said: "I want to tell everyone that although your prescription can cure the epidemic, it is not always tried and true. It has certain risks and may lead to life or death. In this way, Yu Liu's
If you die, no one will doubt it; as for the imperial concubine..." She smiled sweetly and said: "It is up to the emperor to choose whether he wants to be cured or not, but... no matter which one you choose, the result will be the same."
After hearing this, Zhuang Zheng finally understood. His face that had been tense since just now slowly relaxed, and he said happily: "Yes, in this way, the humble minister can stay out of the matter and not be implicated. The noble man is really
clever!"
Wei Jingxuan chuckled and said: "Since I said I will keep you safe, I will definitely do it. Okay, let's do it accordingly. Be careful and don't get discovered."
Zhuang Zheng promised repeatedly. When he was about to leave, he remembered something and said cautiously: "My lord, if this happens, won't many people in the palace die?"
Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? You're soft-hearted?" Seeing that Zhuang Zheng didn't speak, she stood up and said: "If you want to achieve great things, you must not be soft-hearted, otherwise you will only harm yourself and the people around you. Doctor Zhuang, you
Don’t let me live up to my expectations of you.”
Zhuang Zheng heard the coldness and threat in her words and said quickly: "Wei Chen understands that Wei Chen will not let you down."
After returning to Tai Hospital, Zhuang Zheng pretended to read the medical books for a while, and then came to the desk of Dr. Fang, who was looking through thick medical books wearing a pair of Western glasses.
"Yuanzheng, when I was reading the medical book just now, I thought of a prescription that might be able to cure the current epidemic." Zhuang Zheng's words made Dr. Fang perk up. He quickly took off his glasses and said, "Quickly tell me, what kind of prescription is it?"
Not only Doctor Fang, but also several other doctors gathered around, urging Zhuang Zheng to tell him the prescription quickly. Because of this epidemic, they had not slept for several days and nights.
Zhuang Zheng read out the prescriptions one by one, and Zhou Minghua frowned and said: "Ephedra, cinnamon twigs, and licorice are all fine, but Gelsemium... This thing is also called Broken Heart Grass. Although it can be used as medicine, it is also harmful.
I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to use poisonous substances in prescriptions.”
"Your Majesty understands the concerns of the Vice-President, but we have never dared to use heavy medicines before, making the epidemic untreatable. Gelsemium elegans has the effect of breaking up accumulated accumulation and removing poisons. Adding it to the prescription may have miraculous effects.
maybe."
Zhou Minghua considered it for a long time and said in a low voice: "Even so, the weight of Gelsemium is too heavy. It can be reduced by at least half."
Zhuang Zheng was secretly shocked. Zhou Minghua's medical achievements were indeed extraordinary. The amount of Gelsemium he added was exactly double. "If the amount is insufficient, it will not be able to cure the current epidemic."
