Chapter 1907: Yi Jie's investigation
Yi Jie is not short of money. This does not mean that she has a huge family fortune, but that money has a low attraction to Yi Jie.
She needs money to practice medicine but she is not interested in money. She just seeks a cost price and a profit price.
One tael of gold, three taels of silver, and three thousand and a half taels. The current exchange rate in Chang'an City generally fluctuates according to this price.
Cui Yan took a piece of gold and asked her to see a doctor. She didn't need treatment. This request was extremely strange.
"Mr. Medical Officer, do you think this gold is a little short? Speaking of which, you, the Queen Mother, have seen money. This money is indeed too little!"
I saw that the female medical officer opposite did not accept the money. , Cui Yan couldn't help but feel in his pocket.
After digging out all the hiding places in his belt, Cui Yan found two other pieces of broken silver.
If there is no pocket, the rich will only carry some gold and silver with them, and will not wear dozens or hundreds of heavy items around their waists.
The money Cui Yan carries is neither too much nor too little. Normally, this money is enough to give the medical officers face, but Cui Yan can't figure out what the situation of the female medical officers is.
"The money I carry with me when I leave the palace is limited, so I hope the medical officer can help me," Cui Yan requested.
"Forget it, I will go with you. The medical fee does not need to be so much!"
Yi Yan nodded and took another piece of broken silver from Cui Yan. Didn't charge the other party's scraps.
Her behavior made Cui Yan very happy, and his good impression of Yi Yan quickly rose.
“I still don’t know the name of the medical officer?” Cui Yanxi said.
"The Empress Dowager has always called me concubine. Mr. Cui is also an elder, so he can call me that," Yi concubine said.
"This is embarrassing to me. How can I compare with the Empress Dowager?" Cui Yan said, "Please get in the carriage, I will do the work quickly and I will never delay your bathing time!"
"Master Cui, you are so polite." Yi Yan stepped onto the carriageway: "I wonder which patient Master Cui needs to see?"
< br>"I have never seen that guest," Cui Yan said: "I received an order and learned that a great practitioner was seriously injured. I need to go and see him. If his illness is mild, please come to Anle Palace as a guest. If he is seriously ill, It’s time to report back to the palace!”
“I see, that’s easy to do!”
Yi Yan nodded, indicating that there was no problem with her treatment.
"For you medical officers, this matter is simple, but for those of us who are not familiar with medical science, it is too difficult." Cui Yan said: "Fortunately, I happened to meet Yu'er when I left the palace!"
"Mr. Cui, you are so polite. I wonder if the patient lives far away?" Yi Yan said politely.
"What I want to visit is the residence of Dongfang Shuo, the bachelor of Jinmamen who is waiting for the imperial edict. His house is very close to our place. If there is no traffic, we can get there in half an hour, and if it is slow, it will take an hour," Cui Yan said.
“Oh? Is Dongfang Shuo seriously ill?”
Yi Yan was surprised. She had no idea that Cui Yan was going to Zhang Xuezhou's home when he left the palace.
"Dongfang Shuo... His illness is quite troublesome. It's good to be alive." Cui Yan said: "I went to see one of his patients this time. That person's name is Li Shaojun. It is said that he accidentally suffered some injuries. Hurt.”
Yi Yan left a good impression on Cui Yan. He was a popular person around the Empress Dowager, and Yi Yan was a popular person around the Empress Dowager. There were not so many taboos in what they did.
It was only a matter of time before the other party saw a doctor and clearly identified the person's name. Cui Yan did not hide it and chose to tell him directly.
As for the involvement of Anle Palace and Weiyang Palace, it is confidential. Cui Yan also has a very strict mouth and will not talk nonsense that should not be disclosed.
He exchanged many things with Yiyu on the carriage, and then took the initiative to ask about the Queen Mother's health and other trivial matters to pass the time.
"Master Cui, why do we not have a full-time alchemist in Jianzhang Palace, and we medical officers always make the medicine?"
After Cui Yan finished speaking, Yi Concubine also He was rarely lonely and silent, but actively asked and answered questions. The two communicated very freely on the carriage. "The Taoist, Yin-Yang, Medical, Xuanhu Sect and other schools are famous for refining elixirs. We in Anle Palace have some Taoist alchemists who refine elixirs, but most of them are refining external elixirs, and few are refining internal elixirs. Cui Yan, the master of alchemy, introduced: "The alchemist of the Yin Yang family has disappeared without a trace. It is said that a monk has taken refuge with King Huainan. He did not come to our Chang'an City. Chunyu Yi, the alchemy monk from the medical family, died a few years ago. His successor, Chunyu Tiying, made mistakes in treating diseases and was punished and has not returned yet. The Xuanhu Sect didn't say anything about it. They were dismissed from the imperial court! "
Cui Yan talked eloquently, describing the relevant alchemist situation.
Punishing Chunyu Tiying was a punishment that reached the aorta. Without Chunyu Tiying, the Imperial Medical Center became even more ineffective, and the refined elixirs were rarely of high quality.
The Empress Dowager missed Chunyu Tiying, thinking that a year and a half had passed since she was demoted to the people, but they could not find where Chunyu Tiying had gone.
As things dragged on, it was no surprise that the palace lacked a heavyweight alchemist.
"There is no reliable alchemist here. It will be much troublesome for us to treat the disease. We can only rely on infusion of medicinal soup and acupuncture," Yi Yan said.
“It’s trouble,” Cui Yan said with a headache.
"Doesn't our palace have any wonderful alchemy furnaces or any other treasures that can assist in making medicine?" Yi Yan said: "If the standards for alchemy can be lowered, then there will definitely be many people who can refine good elixirs!"
"The more exquisite this alchemy furnace is, the harder it is to control it," Cui Yan said: "The Han Dynasty is the best The alchemy furnace is undoubtedly the Nine Dragon Cauldron in our Anle Palace, but the operation of this alchemy furnace requires magical power level cultivation, and only the True Self Realm monks can freely control the Nine Dragon Cauldron. How can we get the True Self Realm alchemist here!"
“I thought the better the alchemy furnace would be, the easier it would be!” Yi Yan said.
"The alchemy furnace is about complex craftsmanship. The better the alchemy furnace, the more complicated it is. The more complex it is, the higher the requirements!" Cui Yan said seriously.
“What a pity!”
"It's a pity, otherwise really good elixirs wouldn't be so expensive!"
"There are so many treasures in the world, aren't there any treasures that make it easier for us to make elixirs?"
Yi Yan sighed with regret and regret, which made Cui Yan's heart move.
“It’s not like there aren’t any treasures for alchemy like the one you mentioned. I’ve heard people say in the past that there is a medicinal gourd that is very useful for alchemy.” Cui Yan said: “It’s a pity that the gourd has been circulated in the palace several times. Then it was stolen!”
“This is so hateful. This person made us work hard to make medicine every day!”
Yi Yan was extremely dissatisfied and complained, which also attracted Cui Yan's continuous echo.
“I know that the alchemy cauldron can be used to make medicine, can this gourd also be used to make medicine?”
After Yi Yan finished complaining, he continued to ask Cui Yan.
“In the past, there was a medical officer named Yili in the imperial hospital, and he used a red gourd to make elixirs.” Cui Yan said: “Later, Yili reported that the gourd was stolen, and the Queen Mother was furious and investigated again. , and then it disappeared, and no one saw the gourd that could refine good elixirs again."
"What a pity, how could this good gourd be stolen?"
Yi Yan blinked her eyelids slightly.
Cui Yan's few simple words, for Yi Yan and others, this is almost a tragedy of annihilation.
Only the old people know some of the old things in the palace, and it is extremely difficult for these old people to tell them.
Yi Yan has been in and out of the palace for many years, in order to find out the relationship between her father and the Gourd Case.
She didn’t just happen to meet Cui Yan, but she had been waiting and finally found a suitable opportunity to approach Cui Yan.
From what Yi Yan knew, the death of her father Yi Li seemed to be related to the official named Cui.
There are not many officials surnamed Cui in the palace, and there are even fewer officials surnamed Cui who need to be involved with the imperial medical office.
One of them is Cui Yan in front of him.
