Chapter 904: Feeding Medicine
When he came back this time, Xia Zihan brought back a lot of medicinal materials collected from Wuzhi Peak, and a small part of the medicinal materials were very rare and rare.
Yesterday, she went to the Chu residence to visit Mrs. Zeng and prescribed a prescription for her health, which contained two herbs she brought from Wuzhi Peak.
In addition, she also sent half a carriage of good medicinal herbs for Zeng to replenish her health, and sewed a black bear fur cloak for her, which was very warm.
That big bear fur cloak was the big black bear skin that she had used as a quilt in Wuzhi Peak for several months.
After prescribing the medicine to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother ordered the maid to bring the eldest prince over.
The Queen Mother said, "Perhaps it was due to premature birth. The eldest prince has been weak since he was born. He has taken several prescriptions and his body bones have always been lagging and sick. Hey, every time I see him, he curls up like a kitten. Huddled in a corner of the bed, I, as a grandmother, feel so distressed.”
The Queen Mother held Xia Zihan's hand tightly, and she placed all her hopes of saving the eldest prince on Xia Zihan.
The eldest prince has been ill for so long. The Queen Mother and his wife are looking forward to the stars and the moon. She is looking forward to the early return of the three masters and apprentices of Bai Shenyi. After looking forward to it for so long, she finally looks forward to Xia Zihan's return. It is like dying in the sea. Like a person who suddenly caught a piece of driftwood, the Queen Mother placed all the hopes of the eldest prince's life on Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she replied, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, as long as I can take care of the eldest prince's body, I will do my best."
Xia Zihan didn't dare to say anything. After all, this was the harem, and all kinds of strange things could happen.
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid came in with the eldest prince in her arms.
The eldest prince is only two months shy of one year old, but his body is as big as a cat. He looks like a four or five-month-old child. His eyes, as dark as ink, purr but turn around aimlessly. Xia Zihan's eyes were full of curiosity.
Xia Zihan stood up and walked to the eldest prince who was being held by the palace maid.
Seeing that he seemed a little shy, Xia Zihan seemed to be playing with him, holding his wrist and gently touching his pulse, with a smile on his face and said, "First Prince, you haven't seen me, have you? , I am the princess of Chu Yu, who was personally appointed by your father.”
The words fell and his hands were loosened.
The Queen Mother had already taken the eldest prince into her arms and held her in her arms, and asked hurriedly, "How is it, Chu Yu, can the eldest prince's body be healed?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, don't worry. There is nothing wrong with the eldest prince's body. It's just that he was born prematurely and his bones are weak, so he gets sick easily. As long as he can make his body healthy, he will not get sick easily in the future." Xia Zihan smiled and reassured The heart of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
She said, "In the past few months, all my thoughts have been occupied by him. I can't eat well during the day or sleep well at night. Every time he is sick, I don't have to sleep for days and nights." ”
Recently, in order to take care of several grandchildren, the Queen Mother had no time to order the ladies to come in to drink tea and play chess with her. The Queen Mother was holding back her grievances and fears, and had no place to explain, and finally caught Xia Zihan. , couldn't help but drag her to complain.
"At the Imperial Hospital, the eldest prince is often prescribed medicinal soup to replenish his body and bones, but the child is young and cannot eat it. Every time he drinks medicine, several people have to come and give it to him."
"When I saw him crying like a kitten, my heart almost died."
Then, he asked Xia Zihan worriedly, "Chu Yu, will the medicine you prescribe be bitter?"
"Your Majesty, a good medicine tastes bitter. How can there be a medicine soup that is not bitter?" If there is, it is definitely not brewed with medicinal materials.
The Queen Mother became worried, "The reason why the eldest prince is so thin is because he doesn't like to eat. Every time he eats, he will vomit it out and can't leave anything in his stomach. He can't drink much of the special soup every time." Queen Mother, don't worry, I'll do it again "Prescribe a decoction for digestion to the eldest prince." Xia Zihan added, "Prescribe a sweet and refreshing medicinal decoction. In addition, I also have a way to feed the child the decoction. I'm sure the eldest prince will know how to take a drop." Drink whatever is left.”
When the Queen Mother heard this, a touch of joy immediately appeared in her eyes, "Okay, Chu Yu, thank you for taking the trouble."
"I don't dare to be a wife. If the Queen Mother hadn't stepped forward to protect me from being plotted by the Lu family and stood up for me, I wouldn't be able to marry Aqi now. I will always remember the kindness of the Queen Mother."
Back then, when Concubine Lu and his father-in-law Lu Guogong conspired to assign her to the third prince as a concubine, it was the Queen Mother who stepped forward and assigned her directly to the eldest prince before Concubine Lu could do it.
At that time, Concubine Lu and Duke Lu were so powerful and powerful that even the late emperor had some control over them. The empress dowager and the emperor, who was still the eldest prince, were in the palace, begging for life with their tail between their legs.
However, in such a difficult time, the Queen Mother still stood up and gave her to the eldest prince in order to protect her. She also fought with Concubine Lu in front of the late emperor.
At that time, if the Queen Mother had not taken decisive action, she would have been plotted by Concubine Lu, and she would not be able to marry Aqi and give birth to two sons for him now.
Although the Queen Mother was able to help her because she was begged by the eldest prince, it is a fact that the Queen Mother saved her.
Therefore, she will always remember the kindness of the Queen Mother.
Now, I can finally give it back to her.
The eldest prince's body is very weak and he is small, so he cannot eat. In fact, it may be easy to treat him, but it is not easy, and it is not easy either. It depends on whether the eldest prince can eat.
If he can't eat anything, no matter how nutritious things are given to him, it will be beyond his reach.
For this reason, Xia Zihan stayed in the palace at noon to have lunch with the Queen Mother.
After lunch, when the eldest prince's soup was ready, Xia Zihan ordered a little palace maid to bring over a small piece of the thinnest sheep intestine and a small piece of wheat straw.
Xia Zihan carefully inserted the wheat straw into the sheep intestine, and folded it several times to make the sides of the wheat straw soft. Then he asked the eldest prince to suck one end of the wheat straw and put the other end in the soup.
The eldest prince took a sip, then tasted the bitter taste and quickly spit it out.
The Queen Mother sighed and said sadly, "What should I do if I can't drink it? Chu Yu, you have to think of a way."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I promised you that I will let the eldest prince drink the decoction, and it will be done."
Xia Zihan said confidently.
Just now, she just tried to see if the eldest prince could drink the soup through the straw tube. Now that she tried it, even if he was willing to drink it, he would stop drinking it as soon as he tasted the soup.
Xia Zihan didn't waste any time. He raised his hand and tapped a few of the eldest prince's acupuncture points, then opened his mouth and inserted the straw tube into his throat.
