Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

With doubts in his heart, Jia Hu's disciples, You Hao and Han Yan, began to observe carefully.It's just that they have never had smallpox. Among the three, only Han Yan has been in close contact with this kind of thing, but his understanding of this is still in the fact that his concubine cousin died of smallpox. This kind of dangerous disease, if you don't pay attention, it can kill people's superficial impression, but in the details, I can't say one, two, three, four.

Look at those court ladies and eunuchs, trembling, carefully avoiding them, even if they have to serve them, they are too careful not to touch the food they have eaten, the utensils they have used, every time, they are carefully boiled in boiling water and let go Set aside for use after drying in the yard.Jia Hu asked An Yi that every time those maids and eunuchs returned home after serving, they would always drink a few sips of herbal tea, pay homage to the Bodhisattva, and bless themselves from contracting such a terminal illness.Those eunuchs and maids who were taken out when they were sick also had fevers and blisters on their bodies... Even the imperial physicians, every time they checked their pulse, they always looked frowning, and the worry of fear of harming themselves was not at all. Don't lie.

However, within two days, Han Yan was the first to call out: "Jia Hu, I'm afraid you guessed wrong. Everyone in the Mantai Hospital said it was smallpox, how could there be a fake? What's going on in the imperial city these days?" Against Yingtian, all His Royal Highnesses were dragged into the water, and there was a riot in the capital, and it was clear that someone wanted to kill His Highness the Prince and the Princess, how could this smallpox be fake?!"

Getting along with each other for several days, Tu Youhao knew that Jia Hu was a little more knowledgeable than other people, and he was very sharp. People are spoiled by thousands of people, but they believe Jia Hu's words even more - their illness, compared to everyone's straight and scourge-like statement, is too easy and too easy.Moreover, it is just a place where the three children are isolated. As for sending so many guards to handle it?

Tu Youhao grew up in the imperial palace, which is the most magnificent and powerful place in the world, but also the dirtiest and most sinister place in the world. Tu Youhao has been used to the intrigue in the harem since he was a child, and he is more sensitive to some things than Han Yan has a little bit more receptive ability, it's fine if he didn't pay attention at first, but if he pays attention, he will naturally know that something is wrong.Especially his own family knew about his family affairs. He, the fourth prince, seemed to be the son of a high-ranking concubine, and he was the only child of the next two princes and concubine Shu. He seemed very beautiful, but in fact, in the palace, there was really no How people value him.Especially Concubine Shu, who hates him very much.It's ridiculous to say that, although Concubine Chen entered the harem for the sake of Concubine Shu's solid favor, but when Concubine Chen gave birth to a child, Concubine Shu would dislike Concubine Chen no matter what.Thinking about it, she didn't expect that Concubine Chen's life was so good, but she had to pamper her for a short period of time before she could have a body.For Concubine Shu, Tu Youhao means that she has to give up the evidence of her husband, let her guard against Concubine Chen, and remind her that even if she is favored, it is difficult for her to occupy the emperor. She is not a queen, and she will lose The emperor's favor, she is nothing... Under such circumstances, Concubine Shu clearly shows love to Tu Youhao, but secretly hates him to death.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been isolated in such a remote Qiongfang Palace, and the people who served him were crooked palace servants—according to Jia Hu's news, the rest of the princes had received good treatment. care.

A woman like Concubine Shu, even in the most dangerous time, will make a decision that is most beneficial to herself. If she has the opportunity, she can temporarily abandon her own son Tu Youzhan, and first poison all the others who may threaten Tu You. The prince who lost his status, got rid of his thorn in the side.This kind of person, in such a remote place where he was isolated, no one took the opportunity to poison him. There are only two explanations. One is that Concubine Shu suddenly changed her temper and stopped targeting him. Well, in this situation, she can't do anything at all.Tu Youhao knew it was the second type without even thinking about it.

Something must have happened outside!At this moment, Tu Youhao hated himself for being helpless.He clearly knew that his life was hanging on the tip of the knife, and he knew that there must be something wrong, but he was so weak and incompetent, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't do anything. This ability, the latter, is simply in vain. This prince has no rights at all.It was that eunuch Anyi, if Jia Hu hadn't bribed him, how could he serve him so wholeheartedly?

He is a prince, he is not as good as a courtier's family!

The beaten Tu Youhao became more and more mean, secretly followed Jia Hu to observe carefully, listened to Jia Hu's analysis of the matter, and read the letter sent by Zhang's trustee over and over again, savoring the meaning inside.The more I read it, the more I agreed that it was really unusual that all the princes and princesses got smallpox in one go.

It is the one who intends to plot rebellion, is it really so sure that all the princes and princesses died together?Although smallpox is a dangerous disease, it is not something that no one can survive.What if there is a fish slipping through the net?With such a big commotion, the emperor is still not furious?At that time, the whole city will be under martial law and thoroughly investigated. Who can guarantee that they will be able to escape?It's just that they are ready to start a rebellion, but shouldn't the more unexpected the better?Now these actions are like you want to sneak attack others, and you shouted, I am going to sneak attack you, you should watch carefully.

Isn't this stupid?

In this way, the matter has returned to the original point, why, all the princes and princesses will get smallpox?

Tu Youhao pondered for a while, and could only say: "The imperial doctor's diagnosis, all the diseases in our body show that we have smallpox. This point, it should not be wrong. As for the many movements outside, there must be something tricky. , but certainly.”

Han Yan rolled his eyes, and muttered softly, "It's the same as not saying it." Ignoring Tu Youhao's eye knife, he only looked at Jia Hu and asked, "Jia Hu, what do you think?"

Jia Hu has been thinking about this for the past few days.If they didn't have smallpox, there's no reason why all the imperial physicians look worried and scared.But if it is smallpox, this disease is obviously much milder than the rumors... Jia Hu was also confused for a while, and when asked, he could only slowly shake his head and said: "Now I am also confused, and I really can't analyze it. What's the result?"

Han Yan immediately lowered his face in disappointment, even Tu Youhao snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Not long after, the imperial physician came to diagnose their pulse as usual.The one who came here today is the new doctor Huang who was replaced a few days ago. He is good at internal medicine.After entering the house, he greeted Tu Youhao first: "I have seen Your Highness."

Just because of his rules, Tu Youhao really likes him. "Emperor Huang, you don't need to be polite. I feel much better today, and I don't seem to have a fever. Please check my pulse and see if I need to change the prescription."

Physician Huang was very surprised when he saw it: "Sure enough, you don't have a fever anymore?" He wanted to reach out to touch Tu Youhao's forehead, but when he raised his eyes and saw pus-filled blisters on Tu Youhao's face, his outstretched hand seemed natural Gently touched Tu Youhao's left wrist, felt his pulse carefully, stroked his short beard and said happily, "All the toxins in Your Highness's body have been released. Although the fever hasn't completely subsided, it's just a little bit of heat. It's nothing. It's a big problem." Looking at the blisters on Tu Youhao's face again, I didn't look carefully at first, but I didn't find it, but now I see that those blisters with white pus on the front are not faintly deflated! "Great, Your Highness, this time, it's great." The prince got better, and the imperial doctor himself could breathe a sigh of relief.Imperial Physician Huang happily reported the good news to Tu Youhao immediately, "His Royal Highness has been well maintained, and has never broken any blisters. When all the blisters have scabbed and fallen off, there may be no scars left, and it will not damage His Royal Highness's demeanor at all." Jade quality."

No one doesn't want to get well quickly. When Doctor Huang said this, Tu Youhao was so happy that he couldn't believe it: "Sure enough? I'm really getting better soon?"

Imperial Physician Huang affirmed: "Your Majesty will not be mistaken. His Highness is about to recover from his illness." He went to feel Jia Hu and Han Yan's pulse again, and it turned out that he was about to heal, and he was even more happy. Sure enough, the pulse conditions of the two young masters show that the two young masters have also passed the danger."

Han Yan was worse than his disciple Youhao, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't realize it for a long time. When he came back to his senses, his lips trembled, and tears came out: "I'm alright? I'm alright?..."

Physician Huang didn't laugh at them either. Adults couldn't bear to come back from the gate of hell, let alone a child, it's normal to lose his composure.I was also happy in my heart, I didn't mess up my errand this time.

Jia Hu was also happy, and thanked Imperial Physician Huang: "Thanks to Master Huang for worrying about the three of us these days, if Master Huang and the other imperial physicians hadn't been able to recover, the three of us would be afraid... wait for Xiao Ke to go out." , Come to thank you."

Han Yan also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, when I go back, I will definitely let my family take me and come to thank you in person."

Even Tu Youhao also said: "Doctor Huang has worked hard."

Not to mention Prince Tu Youhao, the Jia family and the Han family are now in their heyday, and it is a great surprise for Dr. Huang, an ordinary imperial physician in the imperial hospital, to be able to climb up to these two families. Even if he tried his best to restrain himself, Jia Hu and the three of them could still clearly see that he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising. "The minister is also doing his duty and doing things with all his heart, so he should not be praised by His Highness." Then he said to Jia Huhan Yan, "Since I have received an errand, I have to do my best. It's no big deal if I do my own thing." Dun Dun, then said, " If it is said that His Highness and the two sons can get better, the main hero, to be honest, must be attributed to Zhou Taiyi, if he hadn't developed a new prescription, I am afraid that smallpox would not be cured so quickly."

"Physician Zhou?" Jia Hu's heart moved, and he asked, "Could it be some old doctor? It's really amazing that he can develop an effective prescription for treating smallpox."

Imperial Physician Huang's complexion was a little subtle, but he still maintained his demeanor, and said with a smile, "It's ashamed to say that Imperial Physician Zhou is two years younger than me, and he has achieved such an achievement now." The hospital is the eldest son of Mr. Zhou, who has been a doctor since elementary school, and his medical skills are excellent. It is far beyond my reach."

His actions made Jia Hu and the three of them have a much better impression of him. Although unwilling and jealous, they can still maintain peace, will not confuse their achievements, and will not slander behind their backs. In the officialdom, this is already rare. .

Tu Youhao nodded and said with a smile: "The origin of the family, I am afraid that this prescription has a contribution from the old doctor Zhou." It is also an allusion to tell the doctor Huang not to take it to heart.They just developed a good recipe, who knows how many people are here to help.

Imperial Physician Huang also understood, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhou's medical skills are superb, and Imperial Physician Zhou has learned his father's true biography, which is also true talent and practical learning. Together, the two of them will not benefit the world. How many people are killed by smallpox every year? Now With this prescription, not to mention 100%, after all eighty percent of them can be saved, it is really a great merit."

Han Yan nodded deeply. If smallpox could be cured sooner, his cousin would not die.

Jia Hu was a little puzzled: "Why isn't this prescription [-]% effective? Now all three of us are healed?"

Doctor Huang shook his head and said: "This time, His Royal Highness and the two young masters' illnesses are not serious, they are still in the superficial stage, the onset time is short, and the illness is not serious, so there is such a good effect. There are two eunuchs who are seriously ill. , I didn’t make it through. But fortunately, the princes and princesses are not seriously ill. After taking medicine, the condition has stabilized and has not deteriorated.”

Something flashed across Jia Hu's mind, before he could think about it, he asked strangely: "The eunuch who is seriously ill? Aren't we the first to be discovered by Jianxi? Why are there eunuchs who are more sick than us?"

Doctor Huang thought for a while, and said: "If you talk about the time of onset, it's about the same. It was found on the front and rear feet. Doctor Zhou personally went to see the doctor and prescribed medicines. We also went to see them. The pustules and high fever on their bodies were all gone. It is much more serious than the two Highnesses. Medication has no effect at all."

Doctor Zhou personally saw it again.Jia Hu only felt that the problem that had troubled him for a long time finally had a clue. After sorting it out carefully, he seemed to casually say: "Such a prescription can't be developed in a while, and I don't know that the doctor Zhou How long have you been developing it?"

Doctor Huang shook his head: "It's hard to say, this is a prescription for treating smallpox. It didn't take a few years, how could it have such a good effect."

Jia Hu nodded, and asked again: "So, the princes and princesses are all out of danger?"

Physician Huang replied: "I guess it should be."

Jia Hu didn't ask any more questions, and let the imperial doctor Huang change the prescription, and asked the palace servants to decoct the medicine for them on time and then left. He sat on the soft couch by himself, and looked at Tu Youhao complicatedly, with some pity and some Angry for a while, he sneered and said: "I once heard that when the late emperor was there, Prince Yizhong was the No. For the crown prince, he devoted his allegiance to him, and the honorable officials of Beijing Zhongxun showed even more respect to him. No one would have thought that the mansion would collapse in an instant. , until now, it has become more and more low-key."

Tu Youhao and Han Yan looked at Jia Hu strangely, not understanding how he was talking about the dead Prince Yizhong.But then I heard Jia Hu say: "Back then Prince Yizhong suddenly had unruly intentions and made a sudden attack, which made the late emperor so angry that he almost died, but the emperor was wise enough to sense his ambition and lead his troops to quell the chaos. Seeing that the situation was over, Prince Zhong committed suicide by taking poison. The former emperor, who had white hair sent off a black-haired man, was in great pain, and soon died and traveled westward. But before he died, he let go of his hatred for Prince Yizhong and ordered him to remain his prince. Jue, according to the system into the imperial mausoleum, his descendants will not die..."

Han Yan still didn't understand, but Tu Youhao was trembling all over. He raised his head to look at Jia Hu, and met his gaze. The meaning in his eyes made him tremble all over.

Prince Yizhong fell too quickly back then, and was suppressed by the late emperor. Has his power really been completely eradicated?But the late emperor's will, how could he not obey it?

The Zhou family’s smallpox treatment formula has been developed for a long time...it is only effective for mild cases...the strange reaction among the nobles...all the rich and noble families gathered around Prince Yizhong...

Tu Youhao's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold...
