A cold dream is not a dream come true

In the first month of the fifth year of Yong'an, the Great Southern Army invaded Fu'an City, Pingyang State.Prince Xi was urgently recalled by the empress, went to battle in Da Nan and returned victorious.Afterwards, Princess Lu Jingyan and Princess Lu left the palace and went to Shen Yuxue, the general guarding Fu'an City.

In the next few days, the atmosphere in Prince Xi's Mansion has been a little weird.

After Lu Jingyan left, the palace became a little deserted.In addition, Lieutenant General Chu had died in battle, and no one moved around the gate of the house, even Prince Cheng disappeared.

Chu Qingwu has been living in the East Wing of Prince Xi's Mansion.Her brother's sacrifice hit her hard, so her situation has been very bad.In the first few days, there was only a high fever, but recently there were signs of deliriousness.

After returning from Fu'an City, Prince Xi rarely had any free time to stay in the mansion.She entrusted me to take care of Chu Qingwu, and she disappeared without a trace.Because every year on the second day of February, a feast of "picking vegetables" will be held in the palace.As a nobleman of the royal family, Prince Xi naturally had to help prepare.

Early this morning, I was awakened by a frantic knock on the door.I put on my clothes and got out of bed, opened the door, and found Tang'er anxiously guarding the door, "Miss Meng! Miss Qingwu is seriously ill!"

Hearing this, I immediately followed Tang'er to the East Wing.

Since it was early in the morning, the light in the east wing was very weak.I opened the door and walked into the room, and vaguely heard Chu Qingwu's ravings.

"Brother... don't go..."

"...Woooo...Qingwu doesn't dare anymore..."

I took a closer look and found Chu Qingwu sitting on the bed, her face was flushed and her eyes were dull.I reached out and touched her forehead, it was very hot.

"Miss Qingwu!" I sat on the edge of the bed, put my palm in front of Chu Qingwu's eyes and shook it gently, but she still didn't respond.

I grabbed her arms, shook her vigorously and shouted, "Girl Qingwu!"

Chu Qingwu raised his head, looked at me in bewilderment, and smiled at me stupidly: "Hey... who are you..."

I scratched my head and said tangledly, "I'm Meng Chuhan!"

Chu Qingwu widened his eyes, nodded half-understanding and said, "Meng...Chu...Han?"

"Yes, I'm Meng Chuhan."

Unexpectedly, Chu Qingwu suddenly laughed out loud. She struggled to let go of my arms, grabbed my arms with her backhand and shouted loudly: "You are my brother! You are my brother! Brother! You are here to find me! "

Both arms hurt from Chu Qingwu's grasp, I struggled to free her hands, stood up and said, "I'm not your brother!"

Seeing me standing up, Chu Qingwu looked up pitifully, and said to me, "Brother, don't you want Qingwu?"

Seeing Chu Qingwu in such a state, I began to feel a little troubled.The antipyretic decoction has been used for many days, but it has no effect.Now she is showing symptoms of insanity, it is not known whether it is the continuous high fever that has affected Chu Qingwu's body, or because her brother's death has caused her mental breakdown.But no matter what, the top priority is to reduce the fever.But I have prepared five or six kinds of decoctions for reducing fever, none of which have any effect.

I ordered my servants to take good care of Chu Qingwu, then went back to my room to read a lot of books and started to make new prescriptions.

Gypsum, cold water stone, magnetite, talc, rhinoceros horn, antelope horn, agarwood, root ginseng, cohosh, akebia, licorice, clove, park salt, saltpeter, civet incense, cinnabar...

Looking at these herbs, I scratched my head in trouble, because I always felt that something was missing.

I don't know how long it took, but I looked up at the sky outside the window and found that it was past noon.After stretching myself, I got dressed and prepared to go to the pharmacy in the market to see if there were any other good ideas.

The first lunar month has not yet come out, so the streets and alleys of Luoyang City are still very lively.I walked along the road for a while, and then I came across a pharmacy called "Wanweitang".

Pushing open the door and entering, one saw the counter of the pharmacy. Behind the counter was an old man with glasses.Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the old man looked up and asked kindly, "Miss, do you need any medicinal materials?"

I looked around the pharmacy, and a familiar feeling came over me.This pharmacy is compact in layout and simple in decoration, very much like Qifu Medicine Hall in my home.I don't know how the medicine hall in Shengle City is doing now, and what's going on with my sister Meng Dian.

I withdrew my thoughts, took a step forward and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have a prescription for treating insanity?"

"Unconsciousness?"

I nodded and said, "Exactly. But I don't know if it's the deliriousness caused by the high fever, or the deliriousness caused by mental stimulation."

The old man thought for a while, and said slowly: "In this case, the fever should be reduced as soon as possible."

"But I have used Angong Niuhuang Wan and Zhibao Pill, but they have no effect."

"This..." The old man said with some embarrassment: "Then please find another master, I really can't do anything."

I came out of Wanweitang in frustration, not knowing what to do.Walk aimlessly on the street, hoping to find some inspiration.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and people rushed to watch the excitement.I was a little curious, so I followed the people.Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, he was knocked to the ground severely by a person.

"Which one without eyes dared to bump into me?" Only a woman's voice was heard from above.I rubbed my knees and looked up.It's okay not to look at it, but I was really surprised when I saw it.

"Su Zimo?"

"A little girl from Seventh Aunt's family?"

We yelled almost simultaneously.The person who bumped into me was Su Zimo, the daughter of Prince Gan and the niece of the current empress.

"Hey, what do you call me? Who is the little girl from Prince Xi's family?" I patted the dirt on my body and pouted.

Su Zimo ignored my question, touched her chin, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

I sighed and said, "It's a long story... Anyway, I'm looking for a smart prescription."

"Oh?" Su Zimo raised his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "Didn't the princess of Qihuanggu die suddenly? Are you still looking for a cure?"

"It's not about treating Concubine Lu..." I paused and continued, "Someone in the house has a persistent high fever, which has already affected his mind. My medical skills are limited, so I'm looking for a cure."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Su Zimo asked indisputably, "You actually know medical skills?"

I scratched my head and said modestly, "Ah...it's just a fur."

After hearing this, Su Zimo patted my shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect a servant from Qihuanggu's mansion to know medical skills. I really admire you! It just so happens that I recognize someone from the Tai Hospital. An imperial physician, I can ask for a prescription for you!"

"Is this true?"

Su Zimo smiled confidently and said, "It must be true! If I say 'one sword falls', it's hard to catch up!"

"Thank you so much, Master Shizi." I took out an incompletely researched prescription from my arms and handed it to Su Zimo, "This is a prescription that was not fully developed due to the patient's physical condition at home. If it can be of some help to the imperial physician of the imperial hospital , that would be the best."

"It's easy to say." Su Zimo took the prescription and put it in his arms and said, "In this case, I will take a step first. If I get the result, I will quickly go to Prince Xi's mansion to find you. Farewell!" Step away, and then disappeared.

Standing on the streets of Luoyang City, I couldn't understand this Su Zimo.

Back at the mansion, I found that Chu Qingwu's condition had improved somewhat, but his fever was still persistent.I casually ate some snacks, and then I remembered that Su Zimo lent me my shirt in the prince's bedroom a few days ago.

He found Su Zimo's shirt and put it aside, and suddenly remembered Prince Xi who was angry that night.Although Prince Xi was very rude at the time, what happened that night really made me blush.I was thinking wildly, when suddenly Su Tang came to report, and the eldest son Su Zimo came to visit.

"Yo, so you're here." Su Zimo immediately entered the room and sat on a chair casually.

Seeing Su Zimo, I was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect my son to be so efficient."

Su Zimo laughed loudly, she said: "That's natural, don't look at who I am!"

I got up and put her white shirt in front of her, and said: "Thank you for the shirt, my son, I am very grateful."

Su Zimo was taken aback for a moment, then took the shirt and put it aside, and said, "I forgot about it, I didn't expect you to remember it."

"Of course I remember."

Su Zimo looked at me intently, and laughed loudly: "Why are your cheeks blushing? Could it be that you thought of my shirt and made you emotional?"

Hearing this, I secretly cursed "Narcissist" in my heart, and retorted: "My lord, you are worrying too much."

Su Zimo didn't pay attention to my words either, he stared at me for a long time before asking: "I don't know your name yet."

I simply replied: "Meng Chuhan."

Su Zimo nodded and echoed softly: "Good name..."

Seeing that the topic was a little blunt, I asked straight to the point: "How about the prescription?"

Only then did Su Zimo think of the purpose of coming to Prince Xi's mansion this time.She took out the prescription from her bosom, unfolded it and put it on the table, saying: "All the imperial physicians have read it one after another, and one of the imperial physicians pointed out a few points, please take a look at it."

I took the prescription, and found that the civet fragrance in the prescription was replaced by musk, and two herbs of tripterygium wilfordii and woody fragrance were added.At the bottom corner of the prescription, the words "Zi Xue Dan" were also marked.

Su Zimo propped his chin and said: "This prescription is the result of research and discussion by the imperial physicians, so you can rest assured to take the medicine."

"That's natural."

Su Zimo looked at the sky, got up and said, "I'll take a step first, the seventh aunt will be back in a while, I don't want to see her."

"Then I won't give it away." I agreed casually, and researched a new prescription without looking up.

Su Zimo walked out of the house and came back after a while.I looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Zimo smiled and said, "I forgot to take my shirt." After that, he grabbed the shirt and rushed out.

I shook my head and continued to look at my prescription.

At this time, footsteps came from the door.I didn't raise my head this time, and asked impatiently, "What did you forget?"

The person at the door didn't answer. After a long time, I heard a cold voice.

"I forgot to tell you that you are not allowed to see Su Zimo."

I looked up suddenly and found that Prince Xi was staring at me coldly.
