After hearing Concubine Xiao's words, Bai Ling pretended to be surprised, thanked Concubine Xiao, and then took the pulse case and looked at it.
"To be honest with you, I am a woman after all. Although I am also a doctor, I have never come into contact with such a patient. However, my master has left a note. Please wait for a while. I will study it when I return home and then I will reply to you.
Okay?" Bai Ling didn't look too embarrassed.
Seeing that Bai Ling treated the third prince as an ordinary patient, Concubine Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid that Bai Ling will accidentally reveal the secret if he knows the truth.
"This time I have indeed made things difficult for you, but don't worry, I promise you that this matter will not be spread out." Concubine Xiao said apologetically.
"Thank you, Madam. This puts me at ease. If such a patient comes to your door in the future, I won't be able to treat him. If I don't treat him, he will offend others, which will be a headache." Bai Lingfu thanked him and left the Xiao Mansion.
The pills had been prepared a long time ago, but Bai Ling didn't want to take them out so quickly.
Therefore, he calculated how long it would take for Concubine Xiao to return to the palace before arriving at the Xiao Mansion.
"According to the records in the master's handbook, I prepared three pills. One pill per day. After taking it for seven days, it can be changed to one pill every three days.
After a month, if the patient shows signs of improvement, he can take one pill every five days for a full year. If it does not work, it means that my master's prescription is useless, and I have no other way.
"
Bai Ling put the medicine bottle on the table and explained: "This medicine contains a slight toxin. Although taking it all year round can cure the root cause, it will also leave some hidden diseases. At most, you will be unable to do what you want after a long time."
Concubine Xiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This topic was really not suitable for people who were separated by generations like them to talk about it.
Especially since Bai Ling is still an unmarried girl, and the third prince can be regarded as Concubine Xiao's son.
"Then...are there any worries?" Concubine Xiao asked.
As for whether the poison in the pills could be removed or neutralized by other methods, Concubine Xiao had no intention of asking.
Concubine Xiao didn't care at all whether the third prince refused to raise his head or not. She even hoped that the third prince would not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life, lest he really sit in that position and embarrass their mother, daughter, and even the Xiao family.
"You are not allowed to have sex within a year. And you are not allowed to take heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, and you should also avoid food. Although this medicine is slightly toxic, it is also intended to stimulate men's physiological functions. If the toxins are diluted, they can be eaten like jelly beans.
It's useless." Bai Ling said seriously.
As for whether it is true, only Bai Ling himself knows. After all, this prescription comes from space, and even Mr. Shang has never seen it.
"I have taken note of it." Concubine Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Princess. I also ask the Princess to prepare the other pills as soon as possible. After all, the patient cannot wait."
"Although the medicinal materials in the mansion are relatively complete, some medicines only have a small amount. They can only make a few days' worth at most. The rest can only be made after purchasing enough medicinal materials," Bai Ling said.
"I will find a way to deal with the medicinal materials, so you don't need to worry about it, Princess. It's getting late, and I have to go back to the mansion. If Princess has something to do, you can ask someone to bring a message to my mother, and someone will tell me.
"Yes." Concubine Xiao looked at the time and didn't want to delay any longer.
The time when the palace door is locked is fixed. Even though Concubine Xiao has a mission to leave the palace, outsiders don't know.
Once words of being arrogant and favored come out, the Xiao family will be pushed to the forefront, and their mother and daughter's life in the palace will not be easy.
"Without delaying your return to the palace, I have a small gadget that I would like to give to the Ninth Princess for her health. Please accept it." Bai Ling took out a brocade box from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table.
Say goodbye.
Concubine Xiao opened the brocade box and saw a piece of crystal clear jade. Although it was only the size of a copper coin, its texture was hard to find.
Thinking of Bai Ling's hard-to-find medicinal jade, Concubine Xiao felt happy from the bottom of her heart and hurriedly asked the Ninth Princess to come out and put the medicinal jade on her.
"Ninth Princess must remember that no matter what the reason is, this medicinal jade cannot be left behind, let alone tell anyone, you know?" Concubine Xiao hurried back to the palace, but she still whispered.
Medicine and jade were hard to find, and Bai Ling did not take the initiative to pay tribute to the palace, so the emperor was embarrassed to ask for it.
Therefore, there are really not many people in the palace who can wear medicinal jade.
It's just that every major family has an old master or an old prince. Even if you get the medicinal jade, you must first stick to the backbone of the family instead of sending it to the palace.
Therefore, Concubine Xiao had only heard of the existence of medicinal jade and could not possess it.
Due to her poor health, the Ninth Princess has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. After hearing this, she promised: "Don't worry, my concubine, I have written it all down."
"Stay at my grandpa's house for a few days, and my concubine will pick you up in a few days. Here, you don't have to restrict yourself too much." Concubine Xiao touched the face of the ninth princess lovingly, and said softly: "My concubine will go back to the palace first.
, don’t be too playful, remember to have a good rest and take your medicine on time.”
Concubine Xiao told her a few things to pay attention to in daily life, and told the maids who would serve the Ninth Princess before she left with the courtesy of the Xiao family.
No matter what seniority Concubine Xiao is in the family, she is the emperor's woman, which means she is superior to her family members, and people have to pay attention to her.
After Concubine Xiao returned to the palace, the emperor came over before she could finish changing her clothes.
Concubine Xiao was not a woman who liked taking pills, so she told the emperor about the pills. The emperor was not surprised by the side effects of the pills.
"I don't understand medicine, and I don't know the ingredients of the pills. Please ask the emperor to let the imperial doctor test it first." Concubine Xiao put the medicine bottle in the emperor's hand and said softly.
"Thank you for your hard work." He signaled Dehai to send the medicine to the imperial hospital. The emperor held Concubine Xiao's hand and said, "You shouldn't have been involved in this matter, but I can't trust others. Princess Jixiang needs it.
Let the imperial hospital prepare the medicinal materials, and I... Concubine Chen will send them to you for the money you should pay."
Halfway through what he said, the emperor's face darkened and he thought, apparently remembering what Concubine Chen said last time.
Concubine Xiao lowered her eyes, pretending not to see the emperor's dark face, and said softly: "I am the emperor's concubine, and I should share the emperor's worries. Although I rarely see the third prince, speaking of it, the third prince also
If you want to call me Concubine Xiao, I can't just sit idly by and just hope that I can help the Emperor solve his problems."
"I know you are kind-hearted, but I have wronged you over the years." The emperor sighed, and after approaching Concubine Xiao, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What spices did you use? It's different from others."
"The Ninth Princess cannot smell strong smells, and I rarely use incense. Perhaps it is because I have been taking medicine all year round that I have such a body odor. If the emperor doesn't like it, I will go take a bath and change clothes..." Concubine Xiao
hurriedly explained.
As a palace concubine, no matter what she thinks about the emperor, she must learn to act when the situation arises, otherwise she will not be able to settle down and live in peace.
As for kindness...
Concubine Xiao sneered in her heart. She had been kind before, but she almost entered the imperial power with her daughter.
Concubine Ming was the most kind-hearted, so she ended up with a tragic fate.
"That's fine, I'll be with my beloved concubine." The emperor suddenly became interested and stood up and said: "Let me prepare fragrant soup. I remember that you like to take a bath with flower petals. I have a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets for you to wear.
It must look good up there.”
Concubine Xiao lowered her head, suppressed the disgust in her eyes that a concubine should not have, and responded with a meek yes. (To be continued)
