Chapter 235 Life is not easy
The palace maid bent down and picked up the medicine box and said, "I'll help you carry it. It's getting late. Young man, please follow me. The old doctor is being served by the eunuchs."
Ying Bao had no choice but to follow the palace maid to the side hall.
There are partitions in the side hall, but there are no doors, not even a curtain. There is only a screen at the entrance of the partition to block the outside view.
It was getting dark now, and I don’t know what time it was. A palace maid held a lamp and illuminated Ying Bao.
There is a canopy bed in the compartment, as well as a small table and two chairs.
There is a toilet bucket in the corner of the wall, just at the end of the shelf bed, separated by a curtain.
After Ying Bao washed up, the maid brought tea and food.
The meal is very simple, a bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns, and two plates of side dishes.
The side dishes are a plate of shredded pickles and a plate of boiled vegetables.
Yingbao seriously suspected that someone was deliberately treating her badly, so she asked, "What do you usually eat?"
A palace maid said: "The slave and the young man eat the same thing."
"Oh, what about Yao Yuanzheng and the others?"
"It's the same as these," the palace maid replied.
Ying Bao didn't give up and asked again: "What did that generation of kings eat?"
The palace maid was silent for a moment and said, "The king is different."
Ying Bao understands that the palace is very demanding in relationships and does not deliberately target any one person.
He quickly finished a bowl of white porridge and a steamed bun with pickles and green vegetables. He picked up the other steamed bun and said to the two palace maids standing next to him: "I've finished eating. You guys should pack up quickly."
Shaking the steamed bun in his hand, "I'll save this for when I'm hungry."
It’s not easy to live here, so I have to treat every steamed bun carefully.
The palace maid's eyes twitched, she put the bowls and chopsticks into the food box and carried them out of the compartment.
Ying Bao looked at the remaining maids and suddenly asked: "Do you know what's going on with the new little maid?"
The palace maid replied: "She came in at the Queen's command. The living man ordered her to enter the inner hall to serve the king."
Following the Queen's orders?
Why did the queen let Chen Tiantian serve the king closely?
Ying Bao just felt that something was wrong.
Thinking back to the experience in Xiao Mansion, someone probably saw Chen Tiantian in advance before sending her to the palace.
Could it be that someone misled Chen Tiantian into being the current king?
Or maybe Chen Tiantian had a precious life, and the queen sent her to the king in order to avoid evil and increase prosperity for her son.
After all, this is what is written in the storybook, saying that Chen Tiantian is blessed with good fortune and has a noble destiny, and is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Phoenix.
That's for sure.
Thinking of this, Ying Bao was a little unhappy.
He worked hard to treat the skeleton boy, but in the blink of an eye, all the credit was taken by Chen Tiantian.
Why?
Just because she is the heroine in the storybook, does he deserve to be her stepping stone?
Nonsence! She doesn't believe in evil.
After the two palace maids left, Ying Bao lay on the bed, watching the oil lamp go out little by little, and quickly covered her head with a thin quilt.
He quietly entered the cave, picked a large handful of Wudingzhi, crushed it in a stone mortar, and then put it into several porcelain bottles for later use.
Many of the cantaloupes in the cave were ripe. She picked the ripe cantaloupes and put them in a basket.
The next day, Ying Bao didn't wait for the maids to come in, and hurriedly went to wash the toilet, then put on clothes, shoes, combed her hair, and tidied herself up.
After a while, two maids came in with water to wash Ying Bao.
As soon as she finished washing, someone came to urge her to go to the main hall.
The palace maid carried the medicine box for Ying Bao and sent her to the main hall before retreating.
Li Langzhong waved to Yingbao sleepily: "Come here quickly."
Yingbao ran over and said, "Grandpa Li, what's the matter?"
Li Langzhong looked around and asked in a low voice: "Do you still have those pills?"
Ying Bao nodded: "There are still some, not more."
Li Langzhong: "Yao Yuan is leading a few pharmacists to study your pills."
"Oh. They can study it however they want." Their pills contained not only ginseng, poria, atractylodes, angelica, rehmannia root, etc., but also Wudingzhi. They couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they studied it.
Yingbao looked around and didn't see Wen Jingyan, so she asked, "Grandpa Li, why hasn't Grandpa Wen come back yet?"
Yesterday, she went into the inner hall for a while, but she didn't see Grandpa Wen when she came out, and she didn't know where he went.
Li Langzhong: "Senior Brother Wen has returned to Tai Hospital. There are people guarding here. He has to go to Tai Hospital for duty."
The two were talking when they saw Yao Yuan waving to her, "Yingbao, come here."
Yingbao ran over.
Yao Yuanzheng: "You first look at Dai Wang's pulse."
Yingbao nodded and followed Yao Yuanzheng to see the pulse of King Dai.
She was startled when she saw several piles of books piled high on the table.
This... is too much, where should I start?
"Which one is this year?" Yingbao asked.
Yao Yuanzheng took two large booklets, "Here they are. One is about daily life, and the other is about daily pulse diagnosis."
Yingbao took it, spread it out and looked at it carefully.
Starting from the first day of the first lunar month of this year until yesterday, the daily life book corresponds to the daily pulse diagnosis, and everything is recorded down to the smallest detail.
This generation of kings is really delicate. Every day he eats an extra mouthful of food, drinks an extra mouthful of water, and goes to the toilet one more time, he has to record it.
Finally, Ying Bao saw the record of him eating a small cup of golden ear that day.
This would definitely not be a problem if it were placed on others, but this guy is just a delicate guy. He eats too much every day, and his lung disease is not completely cured. Putting a few things together almost killed him. .
Also, because of taking medicine all year round, this acting king not only has a bad gastrointestinal condition, but also has weaker kidney qi than others.
Ying Bao shook her head, feeling that she had thought too much before.
Even if I feed him Wudingzhi, his health will not improve immediately.
He needs long-term cultivation.
He was born with a weak disease and was unfortunately infected with lung disease at a young age. In that storybook, we don't know how he grew up to be an adult and how he had children.
The doctor surnamed Lin was also unlucky. He failed to please his master but ended up in jail. Even if the king was cured, he probably would not be acquitted.
Yingbao emphatically checked the pulse records of recent days and compared them with his previous condition. He was sure that this generation of kings had problems with all his internal organs.
I guess the more medicine I take in the future, the worse it will be.
The plan for now is to stop all medicines and take special dietary supplements, plus my own Wuding Zhi, which should be able to repair him.
After all, he is still young and his body is in its prime. As long as he is given time to repair, it shouldn't be a problem to live for thirty or forty years.
After reading the pulse case, Yingbao went to the inner hall to visit the king.
As soon as I entered, I saw Chen Tiantian and two maids standing next to the king's bed.
Ying Bao frowned and turned to Yao Yuanzheng who was following him: "Remove all the incense from Dai Wang's room and let these maids go out. From now on, only two eunuchs will serve here."
Yao Yuanzheng was puzzled: "Why do you need eunuchs to serve you?"
He understands removing the incense, but what does it mean to not have the palace maid here?
The old god Yingbao said: "King Dai is already weak and has a strong Yin energy, and the palace lady is Yin. If the two factors are in conflict with each other, King Dai's condition will only become more serious."
