Chapter 96
The mulberry picking courtyard was still the same, as quiet as if there was no one inside.
When he walked here again and saw the dozen or so bare mulberry trees with all their leaves gone, Xin Yi realized that he was stupid.
It is said that Empress Cao "cared deeply for the people of the Song Dynasty and was devoted to farming. She often planted rice and raised sericulture and mulberry silk in the garden." Therefore, according to the single-cell brain of the chief planner, she was not allowed to cultivate several trees in the original residence of Empress Cao's natal family.
Does the mulberry tree mean it?
Should have thought of it a long time ago.
On that day, we shouldn’t have said silly things like “It’s hot on the outside, depressed in the heart, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to conceive, and it’s hard to conceive Lin’er”...
Empress Cao has no children, which is a knot in her heart. She is simply poking at people's sore spots.
It is obvious what the purpose of Queen Cao calling her here today.
However, no matter how stupid the chief planner is, he will not change such a significant history in a simulated Bianjing Baiye game...
Xin Yi is a doctor, but there is really nothing she can do.
The curtains were still hanging in the inner room. The sun was setting in the west, and the light just hit the side of the curtains, making the outline of the woman in the tent more clear.
Queen Cao is very thin and has a graceful profile.
After some calculation, she is only thirty-seven years old this year.
Xin Yi felt sad in his heart, but his expression was calm and respectful.
"Meet Madam."
There was a slight movement in the tent, and Queen Cao seemed to raise her hand.
"No gift."
Xin Yi thanked her softly, still lowering his head and not looking directly at her.
"I wonder if Madam's health will improve after taking the medicine?"
Queen Cao hummed softly, paused for a moment, and suddenly called Hongyun.
"Remove the curtain."
The little girl who hated Xin Yi very much when she came last time was much more behaved today. She responded to Empress Cao's instructions and opened the curtain, hung it on the curtain hook on one side, and then stood aside.
Xin Yi raised his head reflexively and saw clearly the face of Queen Cao, who was very close at hand.
Very different from the saint she imagined.
Queen Cao is gentle, dignified, plain and unpretentious in plain clothes, and there is a faint majesty of a superior in her brows, but she does not look like her younger brother Cao Yi, a little less refined, and not as beautiful as in the TV series. Of course, she has no history
The legendary ugliness is the kind of woman who makes people feel comfortable looking at her, but also makes people feel awe.
Ordinary, yet extraordinary.
Xin Yi smiled slightly, smiling subconsciously.
The complexity of this smile was only known to her. Empress Cao and Cao Yi, who was standing by her side, looked at it and felt that this woman was really different. She did not deliberately greet her and did not appear humble and humble, which was very rare.
Queen Cao smiled slightly.
"Ms. Zhang, I invite you here today because I want to hear your opinion again."
"Ma'am, please speak."
"I have been married to my husband for more than ten years, but we have no children..."
After a pause, she continued: "Over the years, I have searched for famous doctors and taken many decoctions, but with no results, and I feel even more depressed... What I heard from Mrs. Zhang that day was really enlightening..."
Xin Yi was praised so much that sweat broke out on his back.
In front of noble people, the higher you are praised, the more painful it will be if you are hit with a stick.
She bowed her head humbly, "Madam, you are so praised. I don't deserve it. As a doctor, I don't dare to lie. According to Madam's dignity, there must be flattering voices around me. They only dare to say nice things, not bad words."
Yes, but hearing too many nice words often leads to misjudgment... The little girl's medical skills are mediocre. In fact, she is no better than the imperial doctors. She is just a newborn calf. She dares to speak out..."
Queen Cao laughed and glanced at Cao Yi, her face softened even more.
"Huan Qi didn't lie to me. Madam Zhang is an interesting person."
Cao Yi smiled, "Ms. Zhang is too modest. Her medical skills put even Chen Chusheng to shame, so how can she be mediocre?"
Xin Yi: "Master Cao is so praised that I am really ashamed of myself."
She decided to tell the truth.
"I know why Madam came to me today, but to be honest, for the problems that Imperial Doctor Shen cannot solve, the little girl has no better way for the time being. When it comes to heirs, sometimes it really depends on fate. Madam, don't stop Taking so many decoctions, the most important thing is to relax your mind, take care of your body, express your feelings, let everything take its course, maybe one day you will have it..."
Queen Cao suddenly smiled.
"Ms. Zhang misunderstood."
Misunderstand?
Xin Yi raised his head in confusion.
Queen Cao narrowed her eyes, met her eyes in the air, and smiled faintly.
"Mrs. Zhang is very smart, does she already know who I am?"
Xin Yi pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "Yes. The saint is so compassionate, virtuous and kind. How many women in the world have such a temperament and mind? Just one glance and I already know it in my heart."
The flattering and flattering style makes people feel very comfortable when photographed.
Empress Cao leaned back, leaned on the wide chair cushioned with blessing balls, and waved her hands.
"You all stand down."
Several maids around him responded in unison and filed out.
Hongyun didn't want to leave, but Queen Cao looked at her, and then she left dissatisfied.
"There are no outsiders here. Let me say a few words of respect to Mrs. Zhang."
Queen Cao's gentle expression added a touch of melancholy.
"I am already thirty-seven years old, and although I still look forward to having an heir, my heart has gradually grown cold. There are many beauties in the palace, and I treat the official family as if they are guests, but rarely do anything interesting. Occasionally, he would come to my palace to spend the night on a whim. ,Too……"
She seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
But thinking that Xin Yi is a doctor, he smiled again.
"Looking at each other without saying a word, they slept with their backs turned. If they want to have children after giving rain and dew once or twice, they can only rely on God's mercy."
Xin Yi's heart felt so cold.
Many couples are like this in their second half. But she didn't expect that human nature has not changed for thousands of years, even the most noble emperor and empress in history.
Xin Yi hesitated.
"So, why is the saint looking for me?"
Queen Cao glanced at Cao Yi and spoke tactfully.
"Over the past few years, I have been worried and anxious about my heir. I have indeed taken a lot of decoctions, many of which are strong medicines... I have brought all the prescriptions today. I would like to ask Madam Zhang to take a look at them. Are there any abnormalities in them?"
Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat and she clenched her fingers slightly.
Empress Cao didn't say it explicitly, but hinted to her to help her see if someone had tampered with the soup, causing her to be unable to conceive.
This is a hot job.
Cao Yi took the prescription and handed it to Xin Yi's hand.
"Ms. Zhang, sit down and watch slowly."
Xin Yi gritted his teeth and sat on the soft tea table in front of Empress Cao, flipping through the pages one by one.
Two people, four pairs of eyes, were looking at her all the time.
Xin Yi's back was soaked through his clothes, and his brows were furrowed.
After a long while, she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head.
"In my humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with these prescriptions themselves. Most of them are used to warm the kidneys and soothe the liver, warm the palace and dispel cold... However, the medicines are three-part poisonous. If the dosage is heavy, if you take too much, it will inevitably lead to adverse effects. .”
Empress Cao asked, "Then my difficulty in conceiving is related to the prescription?"
Xin Yi shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, no. Although I don't agree with this method of using medicine, it would be a bit hasty to draw this conclusion."
Queen Cao fell silent.
For a long time, she smiled mockingly.
"So it's my fault, no one else is to blame."
Xin Yi noticed her loneliness and felt a little distressed.
Bite your teeth and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
