Magical Medicine in ancient times

Zhou Jin followed the emperor and the others along the way, and all the palace ladies and eunuchs who passed by gave way to salute.

Yonghui Palace is not far from Xuanshi Palace, they didn't have to walk for long before arriving at Yonghui Palace.The gate of the palace was full of eunuchs and maids with anxious expressions. They seemed to have known that the emperor would come soon.

As soon as Cang Zhao came in, all the palace people in the room knelt down in fear.He was not in the mood to care about them, he just waved his hands to make them all get up.Go straight to the inner room.

Zhou Jin also followed in, and as soon as he stepped into the inner room, he smelled a faint fragrance.He frowned, and scanned around the room, and sure enough, he saw a small incense burner in the corner next to it, wisps of green smoke curled up, and the fragrance filled the entire bedroom.

He looked at the maids and eunuchs standing next to him, and found that they seemed to be accustomed to the scent and did not respond in any way.It seems that this incense should be lit all year round.

Cang Zhao kept walking, and walked quickly towards the only big bed made of agarwood wood in the inner room.The bed looked very beautiful. Zhou Jin estimated it was about six feet wide.The bed curtain was half hung, revealing a very beautiful face.Her eyes were lightly closed, her skin was fat, her slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a trace of melancholy between them.

Looking at this slightly familiar face, Zhou Jin recognized Wang Renxun, a dude, at a glance. He recognized this woman as the famous Wang Guifei!Her eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar to Wang Renxun's, and the looks of both siblings are extremely outstanding.

But Zhou Jin was a little puzzled. It is said that this royal concubine has a noble status. Cangzhao did not set up a queen. She is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and she is the most honored in the harem.The son is the crown prince again.It can be said that he is loved so much, how can he become sick from worry?

Cang Zhao looked at the woman, his resolute face seemed to soften a bit.

Seeing that Concubine Wang was unconscious, he directly asked the only bearded man in the inner room, "Li Xian, what happened to Concubine Concubine?"

Li Xian was wearing a dark blue official uniform, his hair was neatly combed, and all of it was pulled into the well-dressed official hat.His eyes were tired, his eyebrows were raised, and a crease was deeply sunken between his eyebrows.

"Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is suffering from worry, I will prescribe some soothing soup for your Majesty..."

"Worry is sick, she is unconscious now, do you only prescribe sedative medicine?" Cang Zhao's voice was a little deeper, and it sounded a little harsh.

"Your Majesty appeases your anger. It's your incompetence. It's just that you have to tie the bell to untie it. The external medicine can't cure the root cause after all..." Li Xian knelt on the ground, his face was full of melancholy, and he was quite upset when facing the emperor's accusation. For helplessness.

Zhou Jin watched from the sidelines, and became more and more determined that he must never come to the Tai Hospital as a social animal. How many years of life would be lost!

"Doctor Zhou, come and take a look!" Cang Zhao suddenly turned to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin quickly recovered, "Yes!"

Look at the job being arranged in no time!

Li Xian looked at the young man who appeared suddenly with some surprise.Judging by His Majesty's appearance, he seems to think highly of him.

The maid next to her immediately stepped forward and carefully took the imperial concubine's wrist out of the quilt.

Zhou Jin stepped forward, about to stretch out his hand to feel the pulse of the imperial concubine.

"Wait!" Cang Zhao's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Zhou Jin paused and looked sideways.

"I heard that Dr. Zhou is very skilled in medicine. Every time he treats a patient, he doesn't need to take the pulse. He just needs to look at it casually, and he can tell the patient's condition one by one. If this is the case, Dr. Zhou doesn't need to take the pulse. Let me know!"

Li Xian's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Zhou Jin in disbelief, "Could this be that Doctor Zhou from Yongning?"

"Indeed, Li Xian, you have to watch carefully!" Cang Zhao's voice was slightly smiling, as if he had great trust in Zhou Jin.

However, Zhou Jin knew that by not letting him feel his pulse, it seemed that he trusted his medical skills very much, but in fact he was testing him.If he couldn't tell the concubine's condition accurately, he would have no doubt that the emperor could punish him for bullying on the spot!

Zhou Jin smiled and looked carefully at the sleeping imperial concubine.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is indeed worried and thinking too much, her anger is clogged in her chest, and her appetite is poor, which leads to accumulated illness. If you want to cure it, you need to find out the root of the imperial concubine's disease, so as to completely cure the disease."

Cang Zhao narrowed his slender eyes slightly, and looked at Zhou Jin firmly, "Doctor Zhou, is this your diagnosis?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes!"

"I asked you to treat the noble concubine, not because I want to hear you say these things, I'm tired of hearing them!"

"Your Majesty, the condition of the imperial concubine is indeed the same. The diagnosis and treatment of Caomin and Master Li are generally the same. There are many doctors in Dayong. Even if they are all called for diagnosis and treatment, they still have this disease!"

Cang Zhao's eyes turned cold, "You are right. Although there are many doctors in Dayong, there are only a handful of doctors who can be called genius doctors, and Doctor Zhou is one! If Doctor Zhou can only say the same things , then where did the miracle doctor come from?"

The huge palace room was instantly silent, and Zhou Jin seemed to be able to hear the nervous and frightened breathing of the maids and eunuchs.

Zhou Jin's heart also cooled down, and he raised his eyes calmly, "Your Majesty, the genius doctor said it was nothing more than the love of the folks. Caomin has never felt that he is different from other doctors. But if your majesty wants the empress, immediately After waking up, Caomin can give the empress needles."

Cang Zhao's cold eyes suddenly changed, he smiled and said: "Okay! Since that's the case, I will wait here, Doctor Zhou, you can start!"

Zhou Jin took out the golden needle, and the slender golden needle shone with a cold light, which made the eyes of the palace maid tremble.

Zhou Jin pierced the acupuncture points on Wang Guifei's head one by one with golden needles.Li Xian stood on one side, stretched his neck, looked at Zhou Jin's skillful technique, his eyes were a little surprised, but also somewhat understood.

The sleeping Wang Guifei only felt a slight stabbing pain in her head, and then there seemed to be several waves of warmth moving in her mind. A little sober.

She frowned slightly, and with a cry of Ying Ning, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened a pair of misty eyes.

"Your Majesty is awake, Your Majesty is awake!" The palace maid at the side exclaimed in surprise.

Cang Zhao couldn't sit still anymore, and stepped forward in a few steps.

"My concubine, how do you feel?" Cang Zhao held Wang Guifei's hand, feeling that the other's palm was a little cold, so he exerted a little force.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Guifei slightly opened her eyes and scanned the room, "What's wrong with my concubine?"

"You fainted! Thanks to Dr. Zhou!" Cang Zhao's voice was rare and gentle.

Concubine Wang Guifei frowned, with a little guilt on her beautiful face, "The concubine has made His Majesty worry again!"

"Since you know that I am worried, you should take good care of yourself and don't think too much!"

Wang Guifei nodded her chin and was about to get up, but Cang Zhao hurriedly stopped her, "You are weak, you should lie down first!"

Concubine Wang Guifei smiled, her brows were gentle, "Your Majesty, this concubine feels a little hot..." She raised a hand to gently wipe her cheeks, only to feel that her face was warm, as if there was a fire beside her. Ironing.

"Why is it so hot, your hands are obviously..." Cang Zhao suddenly stopped, because he found that the palm that was still cold just now was exuding heat, and it seemed that his own hand was a little cold.

He rubbed the catkin in his hand in surprise, feeling the warmth in it. "How is this going?"

"Your Majesty, look at your mother's face, why..."

Cang Zhao raised his eyes abruptly, only to see Concubine Wang Guifei's eyes sparkling, a little sweat dripped from her forehead, and her usually pale face was flushing with a healthy blush at this moment.

"Doctor Zhou, what did you do?" Cang Zhao looked a little surprised, and he looked at Zhou Jin with appreciation at last.

Concubine Wang frowned, and immediately looked at Zhou Jin, "Your Majesty, could this be Dr. Zhou from Yongning?"

"That's right! Besides Dr. Zhou, who can restore your health so easily?" Cang Zhao laughed, looking very happy.

"Your Majesty's praise is too high. The grass people just wake up the imperial concubine and empress. As for the other things, the empress has to keep herself in a good mood."

"I've heard about Dr. Zhou's medical skills for a long time. Today, after experiencing it myself, I realized that it really deserves its reputation. It seems that my ineffective younger brother can be reliable!" Wang Guifei's voice was a bit difficult Feeling excited, she stared at Zhou Jin with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty is absurd!"

"Xun'er? Didn't he go to Yongning? Could it be?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine received a letter from Xun'er a few days ago, saying that I was in Yongning Mansion thanks to Dr. Zhou's care. My younger brother is spoiled by the family, so it is rare to praise others. This letter is very important to Dr. Zhou. Praise, my concubine has never seen him respect and trust anyone like this!"

"Oh? There is such a thing! But according to Dr. Zhou's ability, it's no wonder that Xun'er is like this!"

Zhou Jin's heart sank instantly, this damned Wang Renxun, he thought with his toes to know what this dude wrote in the letter!

"Your Majesty, it's almost time, let Caomin take out the golden needle for your empress first!"

Seeing that Wang Guifei's complexion became more and more rosy, even her close-fitting underwear was a little soaked.Her eyes were clear and her spirits were flickering, she couldn't tell at all that she was just a patient lying in bed, sleepy and worried.

Cang Zhao looked at the golden needle on Wang Guifei's head, and knew that all this was due to the acupuncture.It’s just that there are so many imperial physicians who know acupuncture in the imperial hospital. Concubine Wang Guifei has always been weak, and it’s not the first time she has received acupuncture. Why is the effect so good this time?

He watched Zhou Jin take off the gold needles one by one. These gold needles were very thin and long, with silvery needle tips shining coldly, no different from the gold needles he had seen in his daily life.

Those problems are on the person who gave the needles!

"Doctor Zhou, what's so special about your golden needle? Why is it so effective?"

Zhou Jin rolled the golden needles into the golden needle bag, "Your Majesty, the golden needles are no different, only the way of administering the needles is different! Every doctor has his own special way of doing the needles, such as turning around, needling, lifting and inserting, etc., the priorities are different, The results are also different. What Cao Min uses is burning mountain fire acupuncture, and with the insertion of golden needles, patients will feel heat sensations to varying degrees."

Cang Zhao looked at the blushing Wang Guifei, and suddenly said: "No wonder!"

"Li Xian, have you ever heard of burning mountains?"

Li Xian's face was flushed and his eyes were shining brightly, "Your Majesty, I have heard about this minister who is burning mountains and fires! The main technique is turning around, raising slowly and inserting quickly, three advances and one retreat. If the acupuncture technique is exquisite, the patient You can feel the heat passing through the meridians, this method of acupuncture and moxibustion can warm the meridians, unblock the meridians, and disperse evil qi."

"It's no wonder Bengong feels hot all over, as if there is really heat moving through his body!"

Li Xian was very excited and breathed shortly, "The imperial concubine feels hot all over, which is the effect of burning mountains! It's just that burning mountains is always difficult to master. Although I have studied it for several years, I still can't find a way. Like Dr. Zhou, who is so proficient , the technique of acupuncture and moxibustion that maximizes the burning of wildfires is really rare in the world!"

Li Xian was shaking his beard, his face was trembling with excitement, if not for the presence of the emperor and the noble concubine, he would have pulled Zhou Jin into a discussion right away!

Cang Zhao immediately burst out laughing, "If everyone can bring out the burning fire to the extreme, then everyone will be a miracle doctor!"

Zhou Jin pursed his lips, but he didn't feel much joy in such praise.

"Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine is fine, can Cao Min leave first? Cao Min's younger brother is still young and it is his first time in the palace. Cao Min is worried that he is a little scared and wants to go see him!"

Before entering the Xuanshi Palace, No. 01 was handed over to a eunuch to take a rest.Zhou Jin was also worried that he would offend the emperor and cause trouble, so he agreed without much thought.With No. 01's temper, no one in the palace could bully him.

Cang Zhao seemed to have finally remembered something, he looked at Zhou Jin's tired face, and his expression softened, "Dr. Zhou's long journey has been hard, De'an, you take Dr. Zhou down, you must treat Dr. Zhou well! "

De'an stepped forward immediately, "Doctor Zhou, please! This old slave will take you down to rest!"

Zhou Jin nodded, "The grassroots leave!"

He turned around and followed De'an out of Yonghui Palace.

"You all leave too!"

Following Wang Guifei's order, soon only she and Cang Zhao were left in the bedroom.

"My dear concubine, do you have something to discuss with me?"

Wang Guifei took out a piece of letter paper from under the pillow and gently unfolded it, "Your Majesty, please read!"

"This is..." Cang Zhao took the letter paper, shook it open, his eyes froze instantly, "Is this a letter from Xun'er?"

"Your Majesty, do you think what is said in this letter is really feasible?" Tears welled up in Wang Guifei's eyes, "If what Xun'er said is true, then Shun'er's arm will be saved!"

Cang Zhao squeezed the letter paper tightly, almost crushing the thin paper.He pursed his lips, and said slowly: "The rebirth of a broken limb is really a miracle, and how can it be done by ordinary doctors? Xun'er has never been upright, so how can he take what he says seriously!"

"Your Majesty! Although Xun'er usually likes to be playful, he will never be aimless in this matter! You also said that he is very smart. Since he can say that, it means that he must have discovered something. ! He won't lie to me about this! Your Majesty, don't you want Shun'er's arm to recover?"

Cang Zhao's expression darkened, and pain appeared on his face, "Shun'er's arm has always been a thorn in my heart, why don't I want him to recover! It's just that these facts are amazing, even if Zhou Jin He has extraordinary medical skills and is known as the god of medicine, but it is just a nickname for the common people. He is just a common man after all. Don't add to your troubles! Take care of your health!"

"Gao Lian!"

"The servant is here!"

"You take care of the noble concubine, don't let her think too deeply!"

"Yes!"

Cang Zhao got up, and left the bedroom regardless of Wang Guifei's persuasion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Wang Guifei looked at the back of Cang Zhao leaving, feeling very hurt in her heart.She didn't expect the emperor to refuse directly.

"Mother, don't be sad, it's important to keep your body!"

Gao Lian supported Wang Guifei distressedly.She is Wang Guifei's confidant, and she knows exactly what is written in the letter.She doesn't believe this, how can the broken arm grow back?Unless the gods appear!

It's just that after Wang Guifei received the letter, she was in a daze all day, crying secretly.In just a few days, he lost weight visibly with the naked eye.She could only watch helplessly, but there was nothing she could do.I can't help but complain that Young Master Wang is unreliable in his work, knowing that the imperial concubine cares most about the eighth prince's arm, but he wants to write some weird things back, which makes the empress very sad.

Concubine Wang Guifei held the letter paper tightly, she wiped away her tears, her eyes were firm.Anyway, this is her only hope!She will never give up easily!

"Gao Lian, I have something I want you to do! You go to Taifu's residence..." Wang Guifei whispered into Gao Lian's ear.

In the Xuanshi Hall, Cang Zhao sat behind the imperial table, with the opened memorial in front of him.He held the pen in his hand and couldn't finish it.Finally, a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen and hit the snow-white paper with a thud.In an instant, a wisp of ink fainted, blurring the original handwriting on it into a cloud of unclear ink.

"Your Majesty, you have been watching for quite a while, please take care of the dragon body and take a rest first!"

Cang Zhao looked at the ink stains in front of him and sighed, "De'an, do you think there is such a thing as rebirth of severed limbs in this world?"

"Your Majesty, when it comes to rebirth from severed limbs, this old servant has heard a story."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Cang Zhao became a little interested, he threw the pen into the brush washer, and signaled De'an to continue.

"It is said that during the reign of Yongde, in a place called Baihe Town, there once was a child prodigy named Qi Sheng. He was very clever, and he could write poems and compose poems at the age of three. It's a pity that he has no legs since he was a child. No matter how smart he is He didn't take part in the imperial examination, let alone become an official in the imperial court! People in the town always praised him for his intelligence, and then shook their heads and sighed. His parents couldn't accept it. Therefore, they would pray to God every day to let Qi Sheng grow up. The legs grew out day after day, year after year. Finally, one day, their sincerity moved the heavens. When Qi Sheng was 16 years old, his legs grew out overnight, walking and It's no different from ordinary people."

Cang Zhao lowered his eyes, and rubbed his forehead, "It's a pity that stories are just stories after all. Although Qi Sheng has grown legs, it is indeed a gift from his parents who prayed to God day and night. How can an ordinary doctor do it!"

De'an lowered his head, and said softly: "Sincerity is as good as gold and stone. This old slave believes that as long as you are sincere, what you wish for will definitely come true!"

Cang Zhao didn't continue, and only asked, "Where's Dr. Zhou?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Dr. Zhou and his younger brother went to the imperial hospital!"

Cang Zhao snorted, "This Li Xian, he probably brought Zhou Jin there! It's also good, let them all learn from Zhou Jin, lest the dignified hospital can't find anyone available!"

Just as he was talking, a report came from outside the palace, and General Cang Su begged to see him.

Cang Zhao laughed, "Quickly pass it on!"

The next moment, General Cang Su walked in, "My brother has seen the emperor!"

"I've already said, you and I don't have to do this vulgar ceremony! Come and sit down!"

Seeing this, De'an gently exited the hall.

"Brother Huang, since sister-in-law Huang is already awake, why do you still look depressed?"

Cang Zhao was a little surprised, "How do you know that she has woken up?"

Cang Su chuckled, "With Doctor Zhou around, no matter how difficult the disease is, it can be cured!"

"It seems that you admire Zhou Jin very much! His medical skills are indeed rare in the world, even I am a little surprised! He really deserves the title of miracle doctor!"

"Doctor Zhou once saved my younger brother's life. If he hadn't been there, my younger brother must have died of poison!" Cang Su said, but his expression was very indifferent, as if he didn't care about the fact that he almost died.

On the contrary, Cang Zhao was a little scared, "It's really thanks to him!" Then he reprimanded a little: "You, you, you have kept such important things from me, do you still have me as the emperor in your eyes! If not Later, how long will you keep from me about Imperial Physician Liu!"

"Brother Huang, please calm down. I just feel that the matter is over, and it's useless to talk about it afterward! What's more, Brother Huang's headache has not been cured yet, and I don't want Brother Huang to be more troubled."

Speaking of this, Cang Su was a little worried, "Brother Huang, is your headache getting better lately?"

"It's still the same! My headache is an old problem!" Cang Zhao rubbed his throbbing forehead, his expression a little ugly.

"Brother Huang, why don't you let Doctor Zhou take a look?"

"Zhou Jin? This..." Cang Zhao was taken aback.It's not that he never thought of asking Zhou Jin to come for diagnosis and treatment, but for some reason, he didn't take action.

Cang Zhao's hesitation made Cang Su a little anxious, "Brother Huang, why are you still hesitating? If there is anyone in this world who can cure Brother Huang, then this person must be Zhou Jin! I have already inquired about it before, and Zhou Jin also treated him before. There was a patient who had a headache attack. Now that patient has completely recovered. Brother Huang, why don't you give it a try?"

Just do what you say, Cang Su didn't delay, got up and said: "Where's Zhou Jin? Brother, let him come here!"

"Doctor Zhou, come and give me a few needles, I want to try this mountain fire!"

"I want to try too, give me a zha first!"

"You come first and then come first, do you understand! Go to the back and wait!"

"Don't make noise, don't block me from watching Doctor Zhou perform the acupuncture!"

The hospital is in full swing.

Sitting in the crowd, Zhou Jin held a golden needle in his hand, and said slowly: "It's not difficult to burn the mountain fire. As long as you calculate the time of infusing the essence of the twelve meridians, you can easily make the patient feel the heat."

He stabbed the golden needle into the apprentice in front of him, "When the needle penetrates into the heaven part, press quickly around the acupoint with the left hand, and the force should be a little heavier! Then forcefully push it nine times in the direction, enter the human part, and push it hard again nine times , into the ground, and so on and on. During this period, attention should be paid to the Dao technique to avoid the silver needle wrapping around the muscle and causing the needle to stagnate..."

The huge imperial hospital was full of people, whether they were convinced by Zhou Jin or not, they all stared at Zhou Jin's tricks with rapt attention.Looking forward to learning a thing or two.

Behind Zhou Jin, there were already many people who had been tied up like hedgehogs, sitting carefully on chairs. They listened with ears pricked up, their eyes bursting with excitement.

"It's hot, it's hot, it's really hot!" The apprentice suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "I feel like a fire is burning on my legs!"

"I feel it too, my back is sweating!"

"Doctor Zhou, you are too good!" The young medical officers all looked at Zhou Jin with admiration, with little stars shining in their eyes.

"Practice makes perfect! It's okay if you practice a lot!" Zhou Jin waved his hands modestly.

One of the apprentices looked annoyed, "Doctor Zhou, I haven't fully understood what you just said." He held the golden needle and pierced his leg, "How can it be so easy for Doctor Zhou to administer the needle? I did it myself." But why can't it work? '

"Doctor Zhou, will you stay in Tai Hospital?"

Zhou Jin choked for a moment, "This..." To be honest, he didn't want to stay in the hospital at all!The emperor has also seen it, and he is thinking about how to say goodbye!

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Zhou Jin expectantly, "Doctor Zhou, it would be great if you could stay in the Imperial Hospital, we can discuss medical skills together in the future!"

"Xue Cai, you don't even blush when you say this! What are you discussing? Don't you just want Dr. Zhou to teach you medical skills?"

Xue Cai's face flushed immediately, "Xiang Jin, you have the nerve to talk about me, don't you think so?"

"Okay, why are you arguing?" Doctor Li scolded, he also held golden needles in his hand, lifted his trouser legs, and there were still a few dangling golden needles standing on his white legs.

"Doctor Zhou, you said that I have no problem with the Meridian Liuzhu method. It's just that I can't grasp the angle and weight of turning the golden needle with this technique!" He frowned, looking extremely troubled.

"These things can only be mastered through practice and perception. It doesn't happen overnight. Don't be in a hurry!" Having said that, Zhou Jin walked over, held Li Taiyi's hand, and patiently led him to perceive the golden needle. The angle of force when piercing the acupuncture point.

Li Xian was moved in his heart, but he didn't dare to touch it, and concentrated on sensing the touch of his subordinates.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The people next to him suddenly looked envious.But Li Xian is a serious imperial doctor after all, and they are just apprentices in the imperial hospital.Although I was envious in my heart, I could only watch and take the opportunity to learn more.

It is rare to have such a doctor who does not hide his secrets, and his medical skills are so good.This is in the eyes of His Majesty again, maybe one day he will become famous!

Just at this moment, De'an walked in suddenly.Seeing the hustle and bustle of the Tai Hospital, the doctors showed their legs and arms.Everyone's face was blushing, and golden needles were shining on their bodies.

De'an was stunned immediately, "What are you doing?"

"Hello, Gong An!" Everyone straightened their clothes immediately, with a little embarrassment on their faces.

De'an coughed lightly, "Is Doctor Zhou here?"

"I'm here!" Zhou Jin pushed his head out of the crowd.

When De'an saw Zhou Jin, he immediately smiled, "Doctor Zhou, His Majesty has summoned you! Please hurry to Xuanshi Hall!"

'
