Three days later
As soon as I entered the door of the bedroom, a strong smell of Chinese medicine puffed my nose. It seems to be more pungent than the last time I came here, and even the seasonal flowers sticking to the bed to enjoy the taste are listless.
Heavy curtains concealed the inner room, and countless palace doctors walked in it, but they were careful not to make a sound, lest they disturb the supreme emperor who is recuperating. From a distance, it was like countless ghosts swaying and swaying in the luxuriant array.
Qin Nuo followed the footsteps of the attendants and entered the inner hall.
The current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jing Yaodi, is leaning against the head of the bed. He is about forty years old. He was once a suave, poetic and beautiful man. It is a pity that he lost his energy prematurely. He has been lingering on the bed for years. , His skinny cheeks looked extremely old. Ever since he fell ill last month, he has become more emaciated.
A clear young man was kneeling in front of the bed, holding a medicine bowl and whispered: "Father, take another sip."
It is Qin Nuo's four emperor brothers, the current prince Qin Cong of Dazhou, he was born by the empress of the palace of Emperor Jing Yao. Although Emperor Jing Yao is very romantic, he is very different from his concubines. The prince was very valued and often asked about his schoolwork. The prince did not disappoint and was very well received among the ministers.
Jing Yaodi glanced at the prince, and said warmly: "Cong'er, you have been busy all day, and it's time to go to rest. Let your brothers tired first."
Qin Ze stepped forward with a wink and took the medicine bowl from Prince Qin Cong, "Fourth brother, let me come."
Behind Qin Nuo saw that there was nothing to hold, turning his gaze, he landed on the silver plate with candied fruit on the table. Hastily brought the plate of honey fruit over, and followed it up.
Under the admonition of his beloved son, Emperor Jing Yao finally appreciated his face and took a sip in front of the Yuzhan.
After that, he raised his hand weakly, and Qin Ze immediately backed away holding the decoction. Qin Nuo also stepped back aside.
A deep and hoarse voice sounded: "Cong'er, go down and rest. I have nothing more to do here."
The prince Qin Cong docilely comforted his father, and then got up with attachment, turned his head and repeatedly told his two younger brothers to serve Yunyun well.
Qin Nuo respectfully agreed. It's a scene of filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers.
Gongly sent away the prince brother, Qin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the bed and started working all night.
Serving Emperor Jingyao must be more considerate and meticulous for the palace people who have been with him for many years. So the job of attending the sick is nothing more than urging the imperial doctor to boil the medicine, and try to see if the medicinal soup brought by the lady of the palace burns the mouth, and other trivial and meaningless tasks. The only irreplaceable thing may be to accompany the patient to talk about it.
And this work mainly falls on Qin Ze. After all, Qin Nuo is a dull and silent person in the palace. Every time at this time, Qin Nuo felt that it was good to partner with this kid.
Although Emperor Jing Yao is not in good spirits, he still forcibly cheered up and asked about Qin Ze’s current schoolwork.
Qin Ze replied one by one, and also talked about the funny things between the companions in the school, which made people laugh.
Jing Yaodi showed a rare smile on his face: "Lin Jia is a young talent, and I am relieved that he will be your strategy teacher."
Qin Nuo listened boredly behind him. If it weren't for Qin Ze's partner, he didn't know that Emperor Jing Yao was such a good father who cared about his son's study.
After talking for a while, Emperor Jing Yao couldn't support it, and finally fell asleep in a faint.
Qin Nuo and two of them stepped aside, and stood watching their noses and noses. Qin Nuo took the time to observe Emperor Jing Yao's face. Although he was not a doctor in his previous life, there was a grandfather who was an old Chinese medicine doctor.
In this situation, Emperor Jing Yao's expression deteriorated day by day. It was obvious that his foundation had been hollowed out. Relying on ginseng and deer antler to maintain its vitality, I don't know how long it can last.
When his old man is dead, he will live by looking at the face of the prince brother. It's just that I don't have a title yet. The princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all appointed kings after the big wedding and bestowed them with mansions.
This fourth brother of my own family has always been known for his kindness and kindness, so he should not be treated too badly for his honest brother. Even if he is not a prince, he can have the title of a county king anyway. Then you can go out and live in Kaifu.
Being able to have a small world of my own, think about it, I still have a little look forward to it.
Inheriting this body and basically inheriting the feelings of the original owner, Qin Nuo really didn't feel the slightest admiration for this father. Perhaps it is difficult for anyone to be grateful for a father who has been indifferent to you for more than ten years.
Seeing the emperor lay on the bed breathing evenly, he seemed to be asleep. The prince came forward with a wink, "The two princes have worked hard for most of the day, let's rest for a while."
Qin Nuo and the two came to sit down at the small table behind the screen next to the bedroom.
There were snacks, fruits, etc. on the table, Qin Nuo took a few candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qin Ze glanced at him for fear of awakening the sleeping emperor. He didn't say anything, but the words contempt were written naked in his eyes.
If Qin Nuo ignored it, it would be boring to be idle anyway. The things delivered to Qianyuan Hall were of course not on the same level as his Taiwei Hall.
Sitting idle for most of an hour, the hall was silent. It seems that tonight's work has been unexpectedly relaxed, just standing there for a while.
Sitting for a long time, sleepiness gradually overflowed. Qin Nuo yawned and pushed the empty snack box in the direction of Qin Ze, ready to squint on the small table for a while.
Qin Ze looked at this pig-like brother who ate and fell asleep with contempt.
Qin Nuo just got down and was not asleep yet, an accident happened.
The emperor on the hospital bed suddenly twitched twice, as if he was about to wake up, making a series of dull noises.
The palace in the palace immediately leaned forward, but was shocked. The emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and his mouth made a loud noise, as if blocked by something.
Qin Nuo and the two rushed over. The four imperial doctors on duty at night also gathered around. One person cuts the pulse, one person administers the needle, and the other person beats the back, showing the first aid level of ancient medicine in all directions.
Squeezed outside by the crowd, Qin Nuo felt a chill in his heart. I'm afraid this situation is really bad. There was a bold imperial physician who beat the emperor's back hard, but couldn't cough up anything.
The eyes of several imperial doctors also became flustered. If it was just a simple phlegm obsessed with the heart orifice, this kind of first aid would have been effective, and now I still have difficulty breathing, I am afraid it is mostly a backlash!
The prince was panicked and leaned in front of the two like a headless fly: "Your Highness, this..."
"You foolish, don't hurry up and report to the Queen Empress and the Crown Prince!" Qin Ze scolded.
"The minion obeyed." The prince rushed out like he heard the sound of an immortal.
"This slick old thing..." Qin Ze snorted coldly.
Qin Nuo realized in an instant that the prince may not be so flustered, but the more at this time, the less he can make the wrong step, so he must ask for advice before acting. Now that the emperor is dying, it is the two of them who can call the shots in the hall.
The imperial physician ordered Yu Cheng to put down the silver needle in his hand, wiped his sweat, and turned his head to look at a shriveled old **** in the corner. "Duke Chen, in your majesty's situation, the silver needle alone is not enough to promote blood circulation. It is better to stimulate the heart pulse with internal breath, what do you think?"
"Let me try it first. But your Majesty has never practiced martial arts, the meridians are weak, I don't know how much it can stand." Grandpa Chen sighed and took a step forward.
Then the two imperial physicians gave up their positions, and Grandpa Chen stepped forward, stretched out his palms like chicken feet, and pressed them on the emperor's chest.
Is this the legendary inner strength? This Gonggong Chen Qin Nuo also knew that he was one of the emperor's confidantes, and he didn't wait for anything on weekdays. He followed the emperor all day long, like a shadow. He didn't expect that he was a master of the inner family.
He didn't wait for him to come up and take a closer look, accompanied by a sound from outside the door, "The queen is here!" Before the words fell, a middle-aged beautiful woman with an autumn fragrance rushed into the hall.
As soon as she rushed in, she rushed to the bedside, still Yu Cheng stopped her, "Manny, Chen Gongzheng is treating your majesty, you must not be disturbed at this time." This eased the pace.
She has her hair loose, her expression flustered, and her face that has not been applied with powdered powder shows a haggard sallow. These days, she took a few high-ranking concubines and she was busy attending to the sickness. Today, seeing the emperor's condition eased a lot, she rested for a long time with peace of mind. She didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse in the middle of the night.
After crossing, Qin Nuo had only seen this empress woman two or three times. Each time she was dressed up in gorgeous clothes and had a compelling spirit. This was the first time she saw such an embarrassing appearance.
The queen was born in the Huo family, the top family clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She lived and drove her to show the majesty of her mother's world in every move. Although Emperor Jing Yao was lustful, he still had great respect for this original queen. She gave birth to her only son. Although she has long since lost her favor in the palace, she has a solid position and cannot be shaken.
Moreover, the Queen Empress’s methods are also very powerful. It can only be seen from the fact that his prince brother is clearly ranked fourth among the princes, but he still sits firmly in the position of prince. Of the three princes ahead of the prince, two died when they were young, and one fell off a horse while riding a horse and fell into a cripple. Together with the five princes, perhaps because they were too close to the prince, they didn't live long.
Every time he thinks of these things, Qin Nuo can't help but be grateful that he is young, otherwise he can't wait for him to pass through.
Not long after hearing the news, the prince also rushed to him. With the medical officers and attendants he brought, even though the sleeping quarters were wide, they couldn't squeeze these many people.
The prince Qin Cong made a decisive decision and ordered all the servants in the palace except the medical officer to retreat. Together with the Qin Nuo brothers, they were also sent outside on the grounds that they should not be disturbed for treatment.
Soon, Qin Nuo understood why Dongbo was somber.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here. As a prefectural palace, I have to walk around with my family and friends.
"The prince, the slave servant gave a rough estimate. According to the status of our county palace, this festival will cost about four thousand taels of silver."
"So much?" Qin Nuo was taken aback, "Just after a festival, his salary for half a year will be gone."
"It is already the most frugal. This is because the prince has just opened his mansion now, and there are not many people who come and go. It only needs a few clan princes to walk around." Dongbo said honestly.
After leaving the palace, people's social circle gradually expands. In the future, the number of people who need to move around when concubines and concubines, to make friends, needs to be increased by at least five or six times.
Qin Nuo flipped through the gift list drawn up by Dongbo. I immediately realized that this would be a net expenditure.
As a clan imperial family, we must pay attention to a decent person. It is impossible to take it in with the left hand and send it out with the right hand like modern human relations. It is impossible to circulate those gold and silver gifts back and forth.
If the jade ornaments that the Prince Wang gave to Li Guogong appeared on Song Guogong's mansion a month later, it can only show two things. Either Li Guogong looked down on Wanghouye, or Li Guogong's family had been ruined. , I can’t bring out any other decent things, no matter which kind, it will be a laughing stock in the social circles of the capital, which will greatly harm the reputation of Li Guogong's mansion.
This phenomenon is caused by this era or the era of handicraft industry. Both antique toys and gold and jade utensils are unique. Even common objects such as gold bowls and silver chopsticks cast by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in batches must be in A special mark is printed underneath, listing the date and serial number of the show. Unlike later generations, the same merchandise will go around and be the same.
