Chapter 993 Ginseng

"The prince-consort has a prescription for life? That's great!" Sun Simiao couldn't help but say overjoyed when he heard Li Xiu's words. If it were someone else, he might have been a little suspicious, but he was very convinced of Li Xiu's words. Although Li Xiu's medical skills were completely different from his, they would have a miraculous effect every time.

"It cannot be said that it is a life-threatening prescription. It is just a special medicine. I'll let you take it to you and take a look!" Li Xiu said again. After saying that, he went out and told someone to go to his carriage and take his own medicine box from the carriage. Because he heard that Empress Changsun had been critically ill before, Li Xiu also hoped to help, so he brought the medicine box over, which contained some precious medicinal materials.

After a while, Li Xiu's medicine box was sent over. Then he took out a long box from the medicine box, and opened it and revealed a medicinal material that looked like a human body and was covered with roots. It was the ginseng that was known as the king of all herbs in later generations.

"Ginseng?" Sun Simiao couldn't help but scream in surprise when he saw the ginseng in the box.

Traditional Chinese medicine used ginseng very early, and it was recorded by ginseng in "Shennong Bencao Jing". However, for a long time, although ginseng was a precious medicinal material, it was not particularly valued. At least it did not have a status in later generations. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that ginseng was regarded as the "king of all herbs", and its effects were constantly explored. As a result, the price of ginseng in Liaodong area soared, and North Korea even regarded Korean ginseng as a tribute, thus creating the myth of ginseng that has been passed down to later generations.

"Yes, it's ginseng, and this one is the old ginseng from Liaodong. Even if it grows for less than a thousand years, it still has it for hundreds of years. It's the most suitable thing to use to hang your life!" Li Xiu said at this time.

This ginseng was given to him by Su Dingfang. It is said that he snatched it from Goguryeo. Although ginseng was not as famous as later generations during the Tang Dynasty, it was also a very expensive medicinal material. What's more, this ginseng looked very human-shaped, which was also extremely rare among ginseng, so he gave it to Li Xiu as a gift, but was treasured by Li Xiu. This time, he heard that Empress Changsun was critically ill, and he thought he might use it, so he brought it over.

"Can ginseng also suffocate life?" An old imperial physician said in disbelief at this time, "I remember that there is a record in the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Jing" that ginseng is the main function of replenishing the five internal organs, calming the spirit, calming the soul, stopping the palpitations, eliminating evil spirits, improving eyesight, and making happiness and enhancing intelligence. But I didn't say it can suffocate life?"

This old imperial doctor has excellent medical skills and is the best among imperial doctors. He opened his mouth to tell the records in Shennong's Materia Medica, which also attracted other imperial doctors around him to nod and then looked at Li Xiu in confusion. After all, they all knew about ginseng, and some people even used it, but they never used ginseng to live.

"Ginseng can indeed be a life-threatening, I can guarantee this!" Li Xiu said with great certainty. There are countless legends about ginseng in later generations, the most famous of which is that ginseng can hold the breath of a dying person, so that the other party can finish his last words. The medicine in later generations has also proved that ginseng is indeed effective for dying patients, and even makes ginseng into injections for patients' first aid. It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu took it out.

"I believe in the prince-consort, so I use this ginseng, but I don't know how to use it?" Sun Simiao made a decisive decision at this time. He knew Li Xiu for so many years, but if he was not sure, he would never take it out, so Sun Simiao chose to believe him.

"Slice and decoct!" Li Xiu said immediately. In fact, the fastest and best effect is intramuscular injection. Unfortunately, there are no conditions at all now, so he can only take oral treatment, which should be effective.

When Sun Simiao heard this, he immediately took the ginseng and asked him to raise the fire and boil the medicine. As for the ginseng, he personally handled it. It was not until this time that Li Xiu realized that the ginseng slices cannot be made of metal knives, but must be used to use bamboo knives, otherwise it will affect the effect of ginseng, which made Li Xiu feel very eye-opening.

In a short while, the ginseng soup was ready, but those imperial doctors dared not give it to him. They probably still believed in the ginseng. They were afraid that if something happened to him, they would also take responsibility. This made Sun Simiao a little angry. He wanted to pick up the medicine with his own hands and send it in.

However, at this time Li Xiu took the lead and said, "Master Sun, I brought the medicine. Why don't we send it in together!"

"Okay!" Sun Simiao trusted Li Xiu 100% and agreed immediately. So Li Xiu took the medicine. The two of them entered inside one by one. As a result, Li Shimin sat on the edge of the bed with a sad expression, holding Li Zhi and Yizi crying in his arms. Li Tai and Li Zhi and others stood by the bed crying. Changsun Wuji also hid beside him and wiped his tears secretly. Li Chengqian was still standing there staring at Empress Changsun in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking?

"Why are you here?" Li Shimin was stunned when he saw Li Xiu coming in with Sun Simiao at this time, and then sighed and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prince-consort brought a medicine that could make the queen wake up temporarily. Now the medicine has been decocted, so the prince-consort has delivered it in person!" Before Li Xiu could speak, Sun Simiao explained for him.

Hearing Sun Simiao's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Xiu again, and then asked in a low tone: "Are you sure?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the queen should be able to wake up!" Li Xiu nodded with certainty.

Li Shimin's trust in Li Xiu was no less than Sun Simiao's trust in Li Xiu. When he heard his words, he immediately stood up and took the medicine with his own hands, and then asked someone to help Queen Changsun up and feed her spoonfuls of drinks.

This old ginseng produced in Liaodong is indeed effective. Shortly after Empress Changsun drank the ginseng soup, she saw that she was really awake and had a little blood on her face. Even when she saw Li Shimin and a few children beside the bed, she even said in a weak voice: "Your Majesty, why are you all here?"

Li Shimin didn't expect that Empress Changsun would wake up so quickly, and she didn't react for a while. When she heard her words, she excitedly stepped forward and said, "Guanyin maid, you finally woke up, I... I..."

When he said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but choked up and couldn't continue talking, and his eyes turned red. It was said that men would not cry easily, but if they really got sad, which man could do it?
