Chapter 96 Red date and ginger soup with added ingredients
It stands to reason that if a woman has irregular menstruation, she will be fine if she drinks some red date and ginger soup.
But, it’s been so long since the queen! Counting the day when she sent the message to Imperial Physician Zhou, it was already ten days!!
Shu Jin was surprised: "My queen's monthly letter has not stopped for ten days?!" - No wonder he looked like he had been bitten by a vampire!
The smile on the queen's face was a little sad. Why did Concubine Yu say this? Why did the emperor not care about me at all?!
"Empress, are you okay?" Why was she looking at the empress in distress, as if something was not going well?
The queen forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "I feel like my body is getting weaker recently, and even my hands and feet are a little cold."
Shu Jin: It’s strange that there was so much blood!
Shu Jin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's better to call the imperial doctor to come and take a look." - In other words, it seems that the queen has not summoned other imperial doctors in the past ten days, and at the imperial hospital, the imperial doctor Zhou Cheng also has a strict tone.
Very strangely, they only said that the queen was fine, but refused to disclose her condition. As for why Shu Jin knew this, it was naturally Mao Bin who told her.
Shu Jin thought that it was probably the Queen who told Dr. Zhou not to make any news. After all, this kind of disease should not be made public. Dr. Zhou did have some medical ethics.
However, the queen obviously had another purpose in doing this. And Shu Jin's words were equivalent to helping the queen continue the show.
But she didn't expect that the queen was not worthy of peace. She looked at the emperor with a shy smile and said, "Although Concubine Yu has good intentions, she is just suffering from this kind of illness. It's better to forget about it. I think she will be fine after two days."
Yinzhen:???
Yinzhen was very confused, what did the queen want to sing?
Forget it, if I don't help her keep singing, I don't know how long she will be ill. I don't want the whole harem to mistakenly think that the queen is pregnant!
He waved his hand and told the eunuch Wang Chaoqing: "Go to the court to judge Chen Qi."
"嗻!"
The queen's eyebrows relaxed and she was finally relieved.
Shu Jin: Do you have to wait for the emperor to pass on the imperial physician?!
Okay, okay, her suggestion and the emperor's imperial edict are on the same level! What the queen wants is this level of respect!
A shy smile appeared on the queen's pale face: "It is my concubine's fault that such a minor problem alarmed the emperor."
Yinzhen rubbed his eyebrows and said, "You are the queen, I can't ignore you, right?" - Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend, right?
When the queen heard this, she always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing this, Shu Jin quickly made amends: "The Emperor and the Queen got married at a young age, so their relationship is naturally extraordinary."
There was a hint of shyness in the queen's smile, "The emperor is also very kind to Concubine Yu."
Shu Jin: Well, thank you, please just pretend I don’t exist.
At this time, the eldest palace maid Danzhu brought up a cup of deep red steaming soup and said, "Your Majesty, the red date and ginger soup is ready."
The queen looked at the bowl of soup and simply said: "Put it somewhere to cool down. I will drink it later."
Shu Jin felt slightly confused: Why don’t you drink it while it’s hot??
At this moment, the emperor and the empress were sitting on the big couch with carved phoenix and arhat near the window. Shu Jin was sitting on the armchair beside the empress, and the red date and ginger soup was placed on the small round rosewood table between her and the empress.
The smell...the smell of ginger and red dates was very strong, but there was also a hint of other smells, but it was not very obvious, and Shu Jin couldn't smell it for a while.
It’s strange that her sense of smell and taste is always first-rate, but she can’t smell the ingredients!
The queen suddenly said: "Concubine Yu seems to be very interested in my red date and ginger soup? Why don't you drink a bowl to warm yourself up?"
"Well, thank you, Queen, no need." This stuff doesn't taste good, and her aunt is very harmonious! There is no need to drink this.
"I just smelled this soup... the smell was a bit unusual, but was there something else added to the Queen's red date and ginger soup?" Shu Jin couldn't help but ask.
The queen looked startled, how could Concubine Yu smell it?! Then she smiled and said, "It's just the ordinary red date and ginger soup, nothing extra."
Oh? Shu Jin suddenly realized, it seems that the soup has been spiked!
I just don’t know who added it?
Is it Concubine Qi? Or the Queen herself?
It seems that when Judge Chen comes, this good show will be officially staged.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.
Because the emperor summoned him, Judge Chen rushed over with all his strength. The old judge, who was panting, was really a bit pitiful.
His Majesty Yongzheng was as calm as before: "Okay, no need to be formal, go and show the queen."
Judge Chen hurriedly went to the medicine box to take out the pulse pillow and silk handkerchief, and began to take the pulse. At the same time, he began to ask: "What is wrong with your body? This month's letter..."
After all, he was an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, and he felt something was wrong with this pulse.
The queen's pale face looked a little embarrassed, "I..."
Danzhu, the eldest maid on the side, said quickly: "Your Majesty's monthly letter this time is particularly unusual. It's already the tenth day, but it still doesn't stop. However, the blood volume is also extra large."
Judge Chen quickly looked at the queen's face and understood. He stepped forward and saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the queen seems to have taken something to promote blood circulation, which is why the moon is so irregular."
The queen looked surprised: "I am in the month of confinement, and I don't even touch cold things. How can I take blood-activating substances?"
Chen Yuanjian said very firmly: "Not only did the queen take it, but the portion was not small, otherwise the pulse would not have been so weak! The queen's face is pale, which is a sign of blood deficiency! To protect the health of the queen, please have a thorough examination of the queen as soon as possible.
Something that should be put into your mouth.”
The queen's eyes gradually turned to the bowl of red date and ginger soup. She couldn't help but hide her face and said: "Could it be this soup..."
Seeing this, Danzhu quickly picked up the "Red Date Ginger Soup" and held it in front of Judge Chen, "Please ask the Judge to check this first! The Queen has been taking this every day recently!"
Court Judge Chen couldn't help but be startled. Although he instinctively felt something was wrong, as a court judge, he obviously had no room to refuse. He had no choice but to scoop out half a spoonful of the bowl of red date and ginger soup, put it into his mouth, and savored it carefully.
After a while, Judge Chen quickly turned around and spat out the ginger soup on the handkerchief. Then he knelt down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, a large amount of saffron has been added to this ginger soup! This substance promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis.
It has miraculous effects, but women must not take it during their lifetime!"
The queen showed a shocked look at the right time, her body swayed, and she burst into tears, "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm my concubine!"
Yinzhen rubbed his eyebrows, it turned out to be such a good show. But since the victim was the queen, she couldn't ignore it due to emotions and reasons.
"Saffron?" Yinzhen looked a little unswerving, "This substance should be strictly controlled in the imperial pharmacy, how could it end up in the queen's soup?" - Whether it was the queen's own scheming, or someone who had a wrong idea,
It’s all the Royal Pharmacy’s fault!
Chen Yuanpian hurriedly said: "Weichen is only the Zuo Yuanpian. In recent months, no medicine containing saffron has been prescribed. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated in the imperial pharmacy records!"
Yinzhen said calmly: "Then check it out."
Wang Chaoqing bowed and said: "Yes, I will go right now!"
