Chapter 906 Letter
When Xia Zihan returned to Anjun Prince's Mansion, it was already dark.
After going to Zhuo's courtyard to pick up her two sons, she ate and put her sons to sleep. Then she returned to the house, washed herself, and lay on the bed, thinking about the eldest prince's illness.
The eldest prince's health is not enough just by drinking the decoction. Three days after drinking the decoction, he must start taking medicinal baths to assist him. Each medicinal bath must last for an hour, once a day.
However, the child is too weak and the ten-month-old child cannot even sit firmly. If he wants to take a medicated bath, he has to be held by an adult in the bathtub.
And this dosage must be prescribed for one adult and one child.
The next day, Xia Zihan prescribed a medicinal bath prescription for the eldest prince. In addition, she went into the pharmacy and developed an incense.
Incense is a kind of drug. The eldest prince is weak, but he doesn't feel much. He always likes to cry, which is not conducive to his body's growth. Xia Zihan specially developed an incense drug for him. This drug addict It can't charm ordinary adults, but it can charm children. Therefore, there is no fear that the maid serving the eldest prince will fall into a coma after taking the drug.
After Xia Zihan made the incense, he went to the palace in person to meet the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw her, she was like seeing a savior, and said hurriedly, "Chu Yu, you came just in time. We are feeding the eldest prince some decoction. As you told him, we first touched his weak point, and then put the straw The tube was inserted into his throat, but even a tiny bit of the medicine was poured in. The eldest prince choked and coughed non-stop, which frightened the palace ladies and did not dare to feed him. "
The Queen Mother anxiously took her hand and pulled her into the inner room.
Xia Zihan saw the eldest prince half-lying on the small bed, and around him were a dozen maids and father-in-law, all looking worried and nervous.
The eldest prince was in a coma, still coughing uncomfortably, and his little face was horribly pale.
Xia Zihan hurriedly ran over and said, "You all should spread out. With so many people gathered here, the eldest prince will feel depressed and uncomfortable."
As she spoke, she pinched open the eldest prince's mouth and saw that the tube in the eldest prince's throat was inserted into his trachea.
Fortunately, she didn't drink much medicine. When the maid saw that the eldest prince was choking, she didn't dare to drink it. Otherwise, if she drank a bowl, wouldn't it all be poured into the eldest prince's lungs?
Xia Zihan carefully pulled out the tube and said with a cold face, "Who inserted the tube?"
"Yes, a slave?"
A nanny in her thirties came out. She was the eldest prince's nanny.
She saw that Xia Zihan was angry, and it was obviously something related to the management. She was so scared that her legs were weak, "Princess, the slave did it according to the method taught by the princess yesterday, slave..."
"You inserted it wrongly. You inserted it into the eldest prince's trachea. If not enough medicine was poured, the eldest prince's life might have been lost."
If the lungs are filled with medicinal decoction, can a person still live?
It was so dangerous, but fortunately she arrived in time, and the eldest prince finally got his life.
Xia Zihan was afraid that the soup would get cold, so after giving her nanny a few words of instruction, she quickly inserted the straw tube into the eldest prince's throat again, and pulled the two steady maids beside the Queen Mother to look at her, "You guys have seen clearly. , I can’t insert it wrong again tomorrow.”
"Princess, this servant has seen clearly."
Xia Zihan's expression softened a bit.
The Queen Mother glanced at the nanny coldly, then held one of the eldest prince's hands distressedly, and said to Xia Zihan, "Chu Yu, if not, you will be lucky enough to come to the palace every morning. Give the eldest prince some medicine.”
The Queen Mother has already spoken, how dare Xia Zihan refuse. Even though she didn't like entering the palace, she nodded in agreement.
After giving the medicine, Xia Zihan took out a bundle of incense she made from the medicine box, gave a few instructions to the maid next to the eldest prince, took out a prescription, handed it to the old lady beside the queen mother, and said, "This is a medicated bath. It is prescribed according to the dosage for one adult and one child. The eldest prince is young. If he wants to take a medicated bath, he has to be held in his arms."
"You are thoughtful." The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "Will you start taking this medicinal bath today?"
"Starting from the day after tomorrow, take a bath once a day for an hour." Taking a medicinal bath will speed up the prince's recovery to health.
The Queen Mother left her to eat and returned home in the evening.
The two little buns were in Yuqiongyuan, and Mrs. Zhuo was also there. Seeing that she was back, she hurriedly said, "Your father has been back a long time ago. He is in the study. It seems that there is a letter from Aqi. Go over and take a look. There is another letter." The letter is for you.”
Hearing this, Xia Zihan turned around to enter the inner room and headed towards Chu Xuanyu's study.
There were two letters from Chu Jingqi. One was to Chu Xuanyu and told some about the situation in Jiangnan. The other was to Xia Zihan, asking about the situation of her and her two sons, and briefly talking about the drought in Jiangnan. .
Chu Jingqi has been in Jiangnan for almost two months, presiding over hundreds of thousands of people and officers and soldiers to dig water channels. Some cities close to lakes have been dug and watered, and the crops in the fields have been rescued in time. .
As for those farther away, the crops in the fields could not be saved, and they all withered and turned into piles of straw.
Chu Jingqi also told Xia Zihan that in some remote and remote areas in the south of the Yangtze River, people have begun to die of thirst. In some villages, nearly half of the people died of thirst and starvation.
In order to avoid the plague, Chu Jingqi immediately sent more than a dozen teams of soldiers and horses to search for corpses in various places. When they saw the corpses, they burned them with fire. When they saw the surviving people, they took them to the camp. They went there and assigned them to dig water channels, and the court gave them three meals to eat.
Because of the suppression by officers and soldiers, the common people did not dare to mess around, and there was no such situation as the refugees running around and looting like in previous generations.
Besides, Chu Jingqi allowed them to eat three meals a day and drink water from the lake freely. They had food, drink and shelter. They just had to dig water channels, and the people were content with that.
Rural people have worked all their lives, and the last thing they have to worry about is work.
They dig water channels for themselves. As long as all the water channels are dug, they will no longer be afraid of droughts and floods, and will no longer be forced to live a homeless life.
The people couldn't get such a good thing even if they asked for it. What's more, the court still cared about their food and drink, and gave them reduced taxes and grains. Such a good thing that they couldn't get even if they asked for it, they were stupid and there was no way they would cause chaos.
He mentioned something about the Shen family again.
The Shen family set off to Beijing at the end of April. Mrs. Shen was old and couldn't bear the bumps of the carriage, so she took the waterway directly. The waterway was fast. Calculating the time, she would reach the capital in just a few days.
Xia Zihan was surprised after reading the letter.
She had just arrived in the capital a few days ago. She had been to the Chu residence for one day and the palace for two days. She hadn't rested yet, but the Shen family was about to arrive.
She hasn't found a private school for the Xu family and her son, nor has she ordered her servants to prepare a house for the Xu family and the Shen family. She...
When she thought of the Shen family's arrival, she still had a lot to do, but today, it was almost dark, so she had to make arrangements at dawn.
