The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 104 Queen’s Grace
No matter how late the imperial doctors come, they will always arrive. Ding Ruzhong brought two imperial doctors with him.

According to the Queen's decree, Ding Ruzhong went to personally invite the two imperial doctors who came, both in their thirties and around fourteen years old.

"Minions/Wei ministers, please greet the empress, the empress Niu Hulu, and all the concubines." The two imperial doctors were led through the door by Ding Ruzhong and immediately greeted An Dao.

The empress ordered the two of them to come, and they knew what was going on from the beginning. The weather suddenly turned cold, and two concubines in the harem felt unwell. The empress sent the imperial doctor to take a look.

Now that the imperial doctors have arrived, the Queen also wants to order them to ask for Ping'an pulse for the concubines in the harem. They just do it.

"Both of you, please get up." The queen sat on the phoenix throne and said with a smile.

The queen knew that the two imperial doctors who came were one Manchen and the other Hanchen. The Manchu ministers claimed to be slaves. The Han ministers were not as close to the royal family as the Manchu ministers and the royal family, and they were more trustworthy, so they called themselves ministers.

"Thank you, Queen." The two imperial doctors thanked the Queen respectfully, and then stood up.

The queen did not delay, and went directly to the topic, and ordered the two imperial doctors: "The weather suddenly became cold last night, and Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun may have been unwell. You two imperial doctors should take a good look at them and take medicine." Use medicine to make them healthier."

The empress maintained a little respect for the imperial doctor, but at the same time, she was the empress. The imperial physician's office was supposed to serve the royal family, so the empress didn't need to pay attention everywhere. If you have any instructions, just say so.

"Yes, I obey the order." The two imperial doctors had no objections to the queen's arrangements. Even if they had objections, they did not dare to mention them! The Queen personally gave the order, so naturally she acted in accordance with the Queen's decree.

However, it was within the scope of their Imperial Medical Office's responsibilities to diagnose the pulses of the concubines.

The servants in Kunning Palace were very discerning and had already moved a small show bench. Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun were served by the servants and sat on it.

Now that the imperial doctor is here, both of them are relieved. No one wants to live. Knowing that the pain will kill people, they dare to hold on, but it is just a last resort.

If you can see a doctor and take medicine, who wouldn’t choose to see a doctor and take medicine?

The two of them stretched out their hands, and the servant who was serving them also placed the embroidered handkerchief on their hands, and then the imperial doctor began to diagnose their pulse. The two imperial doctors are meticulous, even if it may be just a minor illness, there are thousands of diseases with different triggers, the symptoms will change, and the prescriptions will also change.

Although the status of the concubines in the harem was not high, if the emperor or the ladies in the harem pursued them, it would be enough to kill them. Therefore, as if there was no intention from a superior person, each of them would be very cautious when checking pulses and prescribing prescriptions.

"Return to the Empress." The Manchu imperial physician was a Manchu surname named Qijun, whose name was Tao. Together they are called praying for birds and righteousness.

He originally wanted to take the imperial examination to become an official, but he didn't really have any talent in the imperial examination. On the contrary, his talent in medicine was more biased.

There is no way, I can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I can't read the medical books. I also took the trouble to be taught by a master. If nothing else, I couldn't take the imperial examination and become an official. I had to earn some money to support my family. So he put a lot of effort into medicine.

Unexpectedly, he was so talented that even though he could not pass the imperial examination and become an official, he still managed to get close to the Imperial Medical Office with his medical skills. Another way to serve the royal family is also a great way to make a fortune. Finally, I didn’t let myself down.

Yi Tao carefully checked her pulse, and then reported back: "The concubine has a high fever caused by cold air in her lungs. I will prescribe a few doses of medicine to the concubine and ask the servants to cook it. After the concubine drinks the medicine, as long as she can retreat, she will If you have a high fever, it’s okay.”

When the queen heard this, she nodded and said, "Then let's prescribe a prescription!" She asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look, so she had to ask for a prescription.

"Yes," Yi Tao said as ordered. The servants in Kunning Palace prepared pens and ink again, and Qi Kun and Yi Tao began to write prescriptions.

Concubine Fei Mo's illness was relatively simple, and it didn't take much effort. However, Yi Tao thought about the dosage of medicine, and after thinking about it again and again, he prescribed a prescription. "Miss Lao, please present this recipe. This is a prescription prepared by a slave. Please take a look at it, the Queen." Yi Tao said politely to the maid waiting at the side.

Whether the Queen can understand it is another matter, but the prescription is to be presented to the Queen for a look. The maid on the side took the prescription respectfully, and then presented it to the queen respectfully.

The queen looked at it casually, and while talking, handed the prescription back, "I believe in your medical skills, go and get the medicine."

The imperial doctors didn't dare to fool her. The main reason was that the queen didn't care much about the concubines. If there were problems, she would just deal with the imperial doctors.

"Yes." Yi Tao said respectfully.

On the other side, Zhong Sheng also took a pulse, and then prescribed a prescription. He asked the Queen for instructions: "Back to the Queen, the concubine is suffering from windchill due to cold air entering the body. I will follow the concubine's pulse and make a prescription." Symptoms, a prescription has been prescribed, please take a look at it by the Queen."

Zhong Sheng was originally named Zhong, and had a good reputation. His surname is Zhong. I don’t know why. When I heard this surname, saw him, and his name, I felt that he must be a medical student.

Is this the so-called name determines prospects? Qinrou thought randomly with some uncertainty.

With a look from the queen, the maid waiting at the side presented the recipe.

I have to say that whether it is Concubine Fei Mo or Concubine Yun, they feel much more relieved after seeing the attitude of the two imperial doctors.

At least they don't feel so worried anymore.

Just drink the medicine and you'll be fine.

The queen also treated everyone equally, took a look at the prescription prescribed by Zhong Sheng, and said: "I have also seen it, and I believe in your medical skills. Go and get the medicine."

"Yes, I obey the order." Zhong Sheng said respectfully.

Both imperial doctors brought medicine boxes with them, and prepared some common medicines. Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun also suffered from common diseases, and the ones they used were only commonly used medicinal materials. Both Yi Tao and Zhong Sheng carried them with them.

The two imperial doctors each took the medicine and handed it to Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun's personal servants. Their personal servants also took it respectfully.

The queen then carefully told Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun: "Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun, ask the servants around you two to serve you. You go back first! You boiled the medicine and drank it earlier. There is no need to do it again." Keep waiting here."

"Yes, I thank the Queen for your kindness." Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun both said gratefully. After getting the medicine in their hands, they also wanted to go back earlier to boil the medicine and drink it. The sooner their health gets better, the sooner they can feel relieved.

The queen and Yan Yan then ordered: "Go find two slaves and send Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun to their respective harems."

Now that it has been done, the queen will not waste her efforts.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Concubine Fei Mo and Concubine Yun were even more grateful. They were supported by the personal palace maid, and they both thanked and bowed before leaving, "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. I will leave."

The Queen nodded and warned: "You two should be careful on the road."
