Concubine Xiao squinted her eyes, and a sharp light flashed past, so fast that it was difficult to catch it.
"Then let's start exorcising the cold poison from tomorrow." Concubine Xiao said softly: "I need to inform the emperor about the operation. However, you can start preparing for the operation."
"My daughter, I will go back to my house to prepare."
Bai Ling stood up, bent his knees and said:
"I also ask for your forgiveness. Although I have confidence in my medical skills, I am also afraid of accidents. Please promise that if any accidents happen that are not due to my poor medical skills, I will not blame you and my wife."
family."
Concubine Xiao pursed her slightly darker lips, raised her hand and said:
"Zi Heng told me, you can rest assured about this. When I inform the emperor, I will also ask the emperor to issue a decree, and I will never let anything you worry about happen."
"My dear, thank you for your consideration." Bai Ling deliberately looked relieved, and he felt much more relaxed in his heart.
Bai Ling didn't need to prepare too many things for the surgery, but she didn't want to cause trouble, so she wrote a list and asked Concubine Xiao's people to prepare it.
Moreover, when Bai Ling asked for surgery, there was an imperial doctor and a medical woman present.
In fact, if Bai Ling had not proposed the last item, Concubine Xiao would have done it, and even the emperor would have arranged it.
Not trusting Bai Ling is one of them. Being able to learn something is another consideration for the emperor. After all, the suturing skills in the Zixiao Army have not been spread to the outside world so far.
The emperor also attached great importance to suturing, but he could not force the Han Palace or Bai Ling to hand over this secret recipe, otherwise it would be difficult to explain it to the world.
On the way back, Bai Ling made a symbolic visit to the medical clinic and asked Xiao Mu to accompany her to buy some medicinal materials.
"The treatment process for cold poisoning will be very painful. Mr. Xiao should tell his family and let the female family members accompany the empress to give her the strength to support her."
After a pause, Bai Ling said again:
"If Princess Nineteen is underage, it's best not to go there. I'm afraid she will be frightened."
"Okay." Xiao Mu responded, already having a suitable candidate in mind.
Bai Ling returned to the mansion, but Bai Wei did not come back.
Afraid of being followed, Bai Ling returned to his room and pretended to retreat to make medicine. In fact, he hid in the space and exchanged all the medicinal materials in the space to ensure that the medicine would be more effective.
In the evening, the two sisters talked a few words at the dinner table. Bai Ling also confessed that he would stay with the patient for the next few days. Bai Wei said that she would take good care of herself, but did not say how she would arrange it for the next few days.
On the second day, Xiao Mu came to take Bai Ling to Zhuangzi to prepare for the treatment of cold syndrome.
When Bai Ling arrived at the bathroom where the hot spring was introduced, the old lady of the Xiao family and Mrs. Xiao had already arrived.
"Greetings to the old lady, Madam Xiao." Bai Ling blessed himself.
"Ziheng guarantees you, you must do your best to treat her, otherwise..." Mrs. Xiao was about to put on airs when she saw Bai Ling, but was interrupted by Xiao Mu.
"Mother!" Xiao Mu's voice was faint, but the restraining look in her eyes made Mrs. Xiao shut up. The look in her eyes at Bai Ling was even more unkind.
Although Bai Ling didn't like Mrs. Xiao, he felt sad about the fate of ancient women who followed their husbands when they got married and followed their sons after their husbands died.
As a mother, she did not dare to contradict her son who would inherit the family business in the future, so she could only deal with the women in the backyard.
"Your Majesty, are you ready?" Bai Ling looked at Concubine Xiao.
Although he could not care about Mrs. Xiao's unkindness, Bai Ling no longer cared about Mrs. Xiao's appraising eyes.
Concubine Xiao smiled and nodded, a little surprised by Bai Ling's determination.
"Please change your clothes, please." Bai Ling made a gesture of invitation and explained: "Your Majesty, please take a medicinal bath first. After half an hour, I will give you acupuncture."
"Okay." Since Mrs. Xiao decided to treat her, she would naturally cooperate.
"This is the medicine prepared by my concubine. Please ask the empress to have it tested. Take the pills orally and put the rest into the spring water in three batches."
Bai Ling opened the medicine box, placed the medicine for today on the table, and took a step back.
Bai Ling took the initiative to request an inspection for safety reasons, but also to avoid embarrassment.
After all, Concubine Xiao is not an ordinary woman, and medicinal materials must pass inspection.
Mrs. Xiao personally carried the medicine out and had it checked by the imperial doctor before sending it back. Bai Ling did not follow her out.
There is no life-and-death feud with Madam Xiao, and Madam Xiao will never interfere in it, otherwise Xiao Mu, the recommender, will lose credibility in the imperial court, and the Xiao family will no longer be able to send a direct relative into the palace as a concubine.
"I didn't know my mother would come." Xiao Mu lowered his voice and explained apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect my ability to treat your empress, it doesn't matter who is here." Bai Ling said nonchalantly.
Concubine Xiao wanted to change clothes and take a bath, so Xiao Mu couldn't stay inside, so he went to the yard to defend herself to avoid accidents.
Bai Ling asked the palace maid to light the incense mixed with soothing medicine, and then sat aside to take a nap.
By adding a packet of medicinal powder to every incense stick, these maids can make it, and the medicinal powder is under the care of Mrs. Xiao, so there will be no problem.
After the first stick of incense was burned, Concubine Xiao's face began to turn rosy.
Halfway through the burning of the second incense, Concubine Xiao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. When the third incense was put on, Concubine Xiao bit her lips tightly, looking very painful.
"What's going on? Do you know how to treat illnesses? Your Majesty is a wealthy woman. If something goes wrong..."
"Shut up!" Bai Ling glanced at Mrs. Xiao with cold eyes and said impatiently: "If Mrs. Xiao can't control her mouth, then please leave. Since I said that I am sure to get rid of the cold poison, I am not talking in vain.
"
"Who knows how true you are." Mrs. Xiao muttered unwillingly, but the warning look in Mrs. Xiao's eyes made her dare not say another word.
By the time the third stick of incense was burned, Concubine Xiao's lips had been bitten and she would have fallen into the bathtub if it were not for the support of the palace maid.
Mrs. Xiao has been chatting with Concubine Xiao about domestic matters to distract her attention.
"Your Majesty is weak at the moment. You can drink some warm soup to replenish your strength. After the sweat completely disappears, I will give you acupuncture."
After Bai Ling checked Concubine Xiao's pulse and determined that her body could withstand the pain of acupuncture to dredge her meridians, she spoke.
"My queen is about to faint, are you sure you can continue?" Mrs. Xiao couldn't hold back and spoke again, but this time it was because she was worried about Concubine Xiao's health.
"Taking a medicinal bath will cause the body's heat to leak out and suppress the cold toxins to the greatest extent. Dredging the meridians at this time will get twice the result with half the effort."
Bai Ling explained it to Concubine Xiao, after all, she needed her cooperation.
"I have said that I trust your medical skills, so I will believe in your medical skills." Concubine Xiao said feebly.
Soon the palace maid brought bird's nest porridge, and Concubine Xiao managed to eat less than half of the bowl before she couldn't eat any more.
When Concubine Xiao stopped sweating, Bai Ling prepared to perform acupuncture on her, which lasted for a full hour.
Concubine Xiao finally couldn't bear the bone-eroding pain and fainted. Bai Ling was too tired to speak anymore.
Whenever Concubine Xiao was in pain, she couldn't help but want to struggle, so Bai Ling had to adjust the depth of the silver needle, which was a waste of effort.
"Your Majesty, you need to rest. Be careful not to catch a cold." After Bai Ling said this, he stood up and left.
The Xiao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no time to disturb Bai Ling. Xiao Mu, who was waiting at the door, saw Bai Ling's pale face and hurriedly ordered someone to take her to rest without asking anything.
For seven days in a row, Bai Ling was treating Concubine Xiao, and was so tired that he didn't even want to raise his hand.
And in the Xiao Family Courtyard, it is not sure if there are people with advanced martial arts watching. Although Bai Ling dares to use things in the space, he does not dare to hide in the space to rest. He can only rely on the spiritual spring water to relieve fatigue. (Unfinished)
