An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"The emperor is in very good health, Miss Zhaoshui, please stop talking nonsense," Su Peisheng interrupted Zhaoshui, "I came here to get medicine for others."

After Su Peisheng's reminder, Zhaoshui stopped talking and sighed, "My queen hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, so I thought of asking me to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicinal food and send it to the Yangxin Palace later.

So when I saw Eunuch Su, I subconsciously asked about the Emperor's current situation on behalf of the Empress.

I still have to thank Eunuch Su for reminding me, as speaking without restraint can easily lead to big mistakes."

"I'm just exaggerating a little. It's always right to be careful about things in the palace." Su Peisheng waved his hand. He wanted to ask Zhaoshui to treat Jinxi at this moment, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Since Eunuch Su has nothing else to do, I will go back first. The queen is still waiting in Chengqian Palace. It would be bad to go back too late."

Su Peisheng nodded. He hesitated for a moment. Zhaoshui and Mujin had already walked a few steps away. After thinking it over, he finally called out to them.

"Miss Zhaoshui, please wait." Su Peisheng took two quick steps and stopped the two people. "Can you please spare me a moment to talk? I have something I want to ask you for help."

"Mujin, take this medicinal meal back first," Zhaoshui nodded and handed the medicinal meal to Mujin. After Mujin walked away, she asked, "Eunuch Su, there are only you and me now, just tell me what you want to say.

If I can help you, I will do my best. "

"Actually, it's Cui Jinxi..." Su Peisheng sighed, "She is seriously ill now, and she hasn't gotten better after taking medicine. I think her condition is extremely serious, as if she is not just suffering from a cold.

But the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital were not allowed to diagnose palace maids in private without permission, so…"

"Eunuch Su, you are panicking. Tell this to Concubine Chun, and she will definitely ask the imperial physician to come over and check Jinxi's pulse."

Su Peisheng shook his head and sighed deeply, but did not mention the fact that Concubine Chun was unwilling to help.

He didn't want to protect Concubine Chun's reputation, but he just didn't want to say those words out of his own mouth.

Anyone can be dissatisfied with Concubine Chun, but not himself, the chief eunuch of the palace.

"There is no other way now, so I would like to ask Miss Zhaoshui for help. Please take Jinxi's pulse and confirm the disease so that I can ask someone to get medicine."

Zhaoshui's face was very calm, but she was very excited in her heart. After all, she would soon be able to complete what the Empress had asked her to do.

"Eunuch Su, I will definitely help you, but... I am a female doctor. Logically speaking, I can only be responsible for the health of the queen, and I cannot diagnose anyone else.

But Jinxi's condition is so serious, and Eunuch Su, you have spoken again. I will help you no matter what.

But I still need to inform the queen about this matter. Eunuch Su, please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

Without waiting for Su Peisheng to say anything, Zhaoshui turned around and left. Su Peisheng called out to her from behind, but failed to stop her.

When Zhaoshui came back, it was already an incense stick later. Su Peisheng was waiting anxiously. As soon as he saw Zhaoshui, he hurriedly asked her what Concubine Sheng meant.

Su Peisheng didn't want to wait so long in vain. He had to have a good result to justify himself.

Zhaoshui nodded and said with a smile, "Her Majesty agreed and asked me to prepare a gift for Concubine Chun. This way, it is only natural for me to go to Suiyuxuan."

The two talked about this for a long time. Su Peisheng sighed in his heart that Concubine Sheng did things perfectly, and he also thanked Lingrong and Zhaoshui on behalf of Cui Jinxi.

Zhaoshui didn't listen very seriously. She nodded and walked quickly, looking as if she was worried that she would be discovered doing something bad.

After arriving at Suiyuxuan, Zhaoshui first paid a visit to Concubine Chun. After giving Lingrong the gift she had prepared, she hurried to Cui Jinxi.

Although Zhaoshui knew that it was the plague, he still had to ask about the symptoms symbolically, otherwise it would be easy for Su Peisheng to notice something abnormal, and all his efforts would be in vain.

Su Peisheng was very worried about Cui Jinxi, so he explained the symptoms clearly in a few words. He looked at Cui Jinxi through the water and found that her consciousness was already blurred and she could only utter a few vague words.

Zhaoshui felt Cui Jinxi's pulse through her handkerchief and found that it was indeed the plague. She frowned and quickly withdrew her hand.

"Eunuch Su, Aunt Jinxi's... this isn't a cold at all, she's got the plague!"

"What, plague?" Su Peisheng looked incredulous. How could rats be born in this clean house and Jinxi be infected with the plague?

But this is not a good time to find out the situation. The most important thing right now is to ask Zhaoshui to treat Cui Jinxi.

"Miss Zhaoshui, this plague is highly contagious and causes great harm to the body. Do you have any way to save Jinxi?"

"Now it's not just about saving Aunt Jinxi's life. This room should be isolated immediately. You and I both need to leave."

Zhaoshui had already left Cui Jinxi's bed as he spoke. Su Peisheng also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he also retreated.

At this time, Cui Jinxi began to cough violently, and even some pink foam began to overflow from her lips. Su Peisheng was frightened by this scene and almost couldn't help rushing up to check on Cui Jinxi's condition.

In the end, Zhao Shui stopped him and said, "Eunuch Su, it's better not to go over there. The plague can be transmitted through saliva sprayed out by coughing.

If you go forward now, you will not be able to escape this disaster. You still have to serve the emperor. No matter how worried you are about Aunt Jinxi, you can't gamble your life and the emperor's life."

As they were talking, the two people had already left the room. Zhaoshui put down the handkerchief that was covering his mouth and nose, and finally dared to breathe deeply.

"Now that we know Aunt Jinxi's condition, go get the medicine quickly, Eunuch. After all, you are the chief steward of the palace, and the emperor is behind it. Even if you are looking for herbs to treat the plague, the imperial pharmacy should give it to you."

"This..." Su Peisheng naturally knew that he could get medicine. If the news that someone in the air had contracted the plague spread, Jinxi's life would definitely be in danger.

Putting aside other things for now, Concubine Chun would definitely not let Jinxi be isolated and treated in Suiyuxuan. Her illness is so serious that she will die if she continues to suffer at this time.

What's more, the plague is highly contagious. If the emperor and the empress knew about it, they would definitely drive Jinxi out of the palace and leave her to fend for herself in the mass grave.

And there is a high possibility that she would be implicated. Any abnormality in her body would be considered as being infected with the plague. Not only would she be unable to serve the emperor, she might also be expelled from the palace.

"Miss Zhaoshui, this matter... is too serious. Please keep it a secret. It would be best if you don't tell even Concubine Sheng."

"Eunuch Su, I must tell the queen about such a big thing.

What I can promise you is to advise you not to tell the Empress or the Emperor about this. As for what choice you will make, I cannot guarantee it to you either. "

Seeing Su Peisheng's unhappy expression, Zhaoshui had to remind him, "Eunuch Su, my queen is a very kind person. She will definitely not watch Jinxi lose her life. Please believe this."

"Of course I believe in Concubine Sheng," Su Peisheng did not force her to keep it a secret, "but you also know that if you go to the pharmacy to get plague medicine, you will definitely be exposed. The problems that will arise after being exposed are not something you and I can bear.

But if I don’t get medicine for Cui Jinxi, her life will definitely be in danger.”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Shui pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "In fact, there was a flood in the south some time ago, and the palace has already developed a prescription for treating the plague. When I went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, I happened to hear several imperial doctors discussing it.

Now that you still remember the prescription, if Eunuch Su is worried that taking the medicine directly will arouse suspicion, it is better to take the herbs separately according to the prescription and finally combine them into one medicine, which can also cure the disease and save lives. "

This is a good idea. Su Peisheng's eyes lit up. "Miss Zhaoshui is a great doctor. I really admire her. But there are so many herbs that I'm afraid I can't remember them all.

To be honest with you, I came out to visit Jinxi today while Concubine Wan was serving the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace. If I went back late, the Emperor would definitely punish me for dereliction of duty.

If I continue to waste time getting medicine, I’m afraid… I’m afraid I’ll be discovered.”

Su Peisheng's implication was that he wanted Zhao Shui to get the medicine for him, but it was really too much to ask just by saying it, so he used this roundabout way and kept telling him about his difficulties.

"This..." Zhaoshui sighed. She was a female doctor, so it was not difficult for her to help. She had already prepared the medicinal materials a few days ago.

But now, seeing Su Peisheng's behavior of taking advantage of him, he still felt a little unhappy, so he showed hesitation on his face.

“Miss Zhaoshui, you took the risk to diagnose Jinxi today. Jinxi and I are very grateful. Even if we have to work like slaves in the future, we will repay your kindness.

But Jinxi is dying right now, and you are the only one who knows medicine and symptoms best, so please help her to the end and prescribe a dose of medicine for Jinxi. "

Although Su Peisheng's words were sincere, they made people feel uncomfortable, as if it would be against the will of heaven if they didn't help today.

If Zhaoshui didn't want to help the Empress get rid of the Fourth Prince, he wouldn't care about Cui Jinxi's life or death, but Su Peisheng is indeed a man of his words, and he will indeed help if there is a real need.

"Eunuch Su, I will help you out of both reason and emotion, but there is one thing I still need to explain," Zhaoshui paused, and made his embarrassed expression the most extreme, "There is not only the queen in Chengqian Palace, but also Princess Youning and the Eighth Prince. In order to ensure their safety, I must explain this matter to the queen.

Eunuch Su, please wait here for a while. I will report to Her Majesty and then go to the Imperial Pharmacy to get the medicine.

During this period, Eunuch Su will see if he can find some utensils for boiling medicine. It would be best if he can find someone who can take care of Aunt Jinxi and help boil and feed the medicine.

The plague is not something that can be cured in a day or two, Eunuch Su...you need to be mentally prepared."

Zhaoshui didn't say anything more. She didn't want to be the one who took care of Cui Jinxi personally, so without waiting for Su Peisheng to say anything, she turned around and left.

But she did not return to Chengqian Palace. Instead, she walked around the Imperial Garden for a few times, divided the medicinal materials that had been prepared long ago into several packages, and went to the Imperial Pharmacy to get some medicines for treating colds before returning to the door of Suiyuxuan.

But this time it was not so smooth. Zhaoshui met Xue'er at the door and asked, "Ms. Xue'er, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Miss Zhaoshui," Xue'er did not answer Zhaoshui's question, but asked Zhaoshui, "Why did you come back? Cui Jinxi is seriously ill?"

"Her illness is indeed quite serious. I went to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine for her, but it still needs to be boiled. I wonder if there is anyone at Sui Yu Xuan who can help."

"This..." Xue'er hesitated. She didn't want to take care of Cui Jinxi, so she threw the question back to Zhaoshui without thinking, "Everyone in Suiyuxuan has their own duties. Without Cui Jinxi, everyone has taken on a lot of work, especially me, I really don't have time to make medicine for her.

This matter still needs to be informed to the young lady, Miss Zhaoshui, why don’t you…”

"After all, I am not from Suiyuxuan, and it is against the rules to stay here for a long time. I will leave after delivering the medicine.

Please discuss this matter with Eunuch Su and see whether to ask Concubine Chun to make the decision."

Xue'er didn't want to bring this up at all, but she also knew that she couldn't push the matter onto Zhaoshui, so she could only nod and agree, saying that she would ask the young lady later.

After getting the answer, Zhaoshui didn't stay any longer. She quickly went to Cui Jinxi's residence and handed the medicine to Su Peisheng.

"When several doses of medicine are combined together, they become the medicine for treating plague. There are three doses in total. Eunuch Su must remember them well.

After this medicine is ready, it would be best for Eunuch Su to drink a bowl of it. Even if he is infected, it can help him resist some of the disease."

"Thank you, Miss Zhaoshui. You are so dangerous and I have to run around for you. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Eunuch Su will have time to express his gratitude later. The most important thing now is to boil the medicine and feed it to Aunt Jinxi."

Zhaoshui reminded him of some things that needed attention, and Su Peisheng listened carefully, with a look of fatigue flashing on his face from time to time.

But he quickly suppressed this feeling of exhaustion, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Zhaoshui. I will take care of the rest. Please thank Empress Sheng for me. I will come to visit you when Jinxi is out of danger."

Zhaoshui nodded, and seeing that there was really nothing needed, he returned to Chengqian Palace.

The first thing she did when she got back was to burn all the clothes she had worn that day, even though she had only taken the patient's pulse and there was almost no possibility of him being infected.

But it is always right to be more prepared, at least it can guarantee the safety of the queen and the two heirs to the greatest extent. Of course, this is also for the sake of my own safety.

After that day, Zhaoshui heard that Su Peisheng was punished by the emperor for abandoning his post without permission. As for Cui Jinxi's condition, it gradually improved due to timely medication.
