Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth: magic medicine
Since the prince has brought the medicine.
The Empress Dowager naturally wants to give it a try.
Zhu Houzhao specifically instructed this chili water to only be applied to frostbite skin without wounds. Where there are wounds, you need to try your best to avoid it.
Now it is spring, and there is no wound. Therefore, after applying it, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt a spicy and hot feeling.
Fortunately, there are no wounds, and although it is hot, it will not hurt.
At night, the Empress Dowager still had to drink a bowl of rice porridge to sleep, and some thirteen fragrances were added to the rice porridge.
As usual, you cannot let it go, just a little bit.
But even a little bit, the Empress Dowager put the porridge into her mouth, and her scalp was about to explode: "Water, water..."
The eunuchs were confused and thought the porridge was poisonous and they were all in a hurry.
The Empress Dowager suddenly felt hot all over and couldn't stand the spicy taste in her mouth. She kept drinking water. After finally the spicy taste became lighter, she realized that she was sweating all over.
It should be noted that there are no chili peppers in this era. Even if there are substitutes such as dogwood and pepper, their effect is 100,000 miles worse than chili peppers. Such specially prepared chili powder and chili oil, for those who have never really tried chili peppers in this era, even if the portion is small, the spicy feeling is extremely terrifying.
The Empress Dowager's breathing was rapid and finally healed her emotions.
It was so spicy that the Empress Dowager felt that her tongue would not belong to her.
"Empress... won't eat?"
"Take it!" The Empress Dowager took a deep breath: "Good medicine is bitter and good for diseases. In this world, there is no medicine that is not like this?"
She resolutely continued to eat a bite of porridge. On the other side, someone had prepared tea.
This time, it was easier to accept than the previous one. Although it was still extremely spicy, the Empress Dowager's face turned red and she felt sweaty all over. However, the frostbite tortured her for twenty years. The Empress Dowager never suffered from this disease for a day, and she still took the third and fourth bites.
After drinking this bowl of porridge, it was like a battle, and the Empress Dowager's skin turned red.
The effect of peppers is to promote blood circulation, while the essence of frostbite is that blood qi is poor. For the Queen Mother, who had just tasted pepper, this bowl of porridge was almost equivalent to setting up a hot pot and cooking her blood, as if it was rolling in her body.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with tears, and she kept breathing. After drinking a few cups of warm tea, she recovered a little.
But at this time, a eunuch came and said, "Empress Zhang ordered his servants to come from Kunning Palace, saying that he did not know what kind of thing to treat frostbite, but I don't know if it was there. Empress Zhang remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this thing is the most treating dampness and cold. I suddenly remembered that in winter and spring, I felt cold hands and feet, and I wanted to give it a try."
The Empress Dowager said, "I don't know if the Ai family is effective..." She said, and while she exhaled a heat wave from her mouth: "Forget it, take some and send it to you."
That night, the Empress Dowager went to bed.
When the Empress Dowager got up the next morning, she suddenly felt her body lighter.
"Come, come..." The Empress Dowager looked at her little feet. In the past, her legs and feet were swollen due to frostbite, and she was a little inconvenient to move, but now... the swollen legs and feet have obviously disappeared a little.
This is the case with chili peppers. It may be for many people in later generations that the effect of chili peppers is not strong. Many people still don’t blush when eating chili peppers, especially those from Sichuan and Hunan. If they go down a bowl of chili peppers, they will feel calm.
But the Empress Dowager is different. Her effect is similar to that of Hunanese people who eat a pot of chopped pepper. Therefore, if Hunanese people want to treat frostbite, they may not be able to rely on chili peppers.
In addition, the frostbite area was covered with chili oil. After this night, the blood and energy were already so smooth that it could no longer be smooth.
No wonder... I didn't feel itchy last night. After sleeping, it was sunny.
The Empress Dowager looked surprised.
The eunuch who brought the copper basin and fed warm water was about to prepare to wash the empress, and then comb his hair and change his clothes. When he saw the empress's small calves exposed from the brocade quilt, he screamed and his hands trembled. The copper basin fell to the ground, and the warm water splashed everywhere.
The eunuch hurriedly bowed down: "I have died ten thousand times, and I have died ten thousand times."
But at this time, the Empress Dowager was in great pleasure. This medicine had such a miraculous effect?
She couldn't hide her joy. Only those who had frostbite had realized how unbearable this disease that did not harm human life was. She didn't care about curing her crimes and said, "Be bathed first, then prepare medicine. Also, when you have a meal early in the morning, remember to put the medicine in and put more today."
After saying that, he had already gotten up from the couch, his body became much lighter and extremely excited.
The meal early in the morning was a bowl of ginseng soup and some pastries.
Add chili to the ginseng soup.
Looking at the red slice floating on the ginseng soup, it seemed that this time the thirteen-scented powder was added.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and took it. No matter how difficult it is, is it difficult to have frostbite?
She took the spoon and took a bite. This time she really added too much. She was so spicy that she felt her throat was about to get angry. The eunuch beside her was busy serving tea carefully.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "If you don't eat it, don't let the tea dilute the medicinal properties. Ai family... Ai family endures it!"
Under the joy of treating the disease, I resisted the feeling of the internal organs being hot, and my whole body seemed to be about to explode.
The second mouthful...
The third mouth...
……………………
The price of Thirteen Scent is a bit high, and although the sales volume is pretty good, it always fails to meet expectations.
Therefore, the new spicy version of Thirteen Scent was launched, and paper was posted on the glass bottle, with the letter "Xishan Secret Recipe to Relieve All Diseases".
Treating diseases cannot be cured. Whoever relies on peppers to cure diseases is really a stingy person.
However, this chili does have the effect of promoting blood circulation. In this period without heating and in the Little Ice Age, nearly half of the year is a cold and cold weather. What should I eat if I don’t eat chili?
Zhu Hou looked after Fang Jifan's operation and felt amazing: "Can you really get rid of all diseases?"
Fang Jifan nodded: "All diseases may be worse, but I will still have them in my seventies or eighties."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly rushed up, grabbed Fang Jifan's neck and shook it: "Then I can't give birth to a baby, do you cut me? You're not going to get rid of all diseases, a liar!"
Fang Jifan was so confused. This might be the price of cutting people into pieces. Zhu Houzhao was normal most of the time, but sometimes, he would suddenly become abnormal.
After finally breaking free, Fang Jifan breathed heavily: "Your Highness, you forgot again. You begged me to get rid of it. There are faults and debts. You look for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you dare not, then you look for Xiao Jing. I am a duty person. I... I... cough cough..."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan with resentment and said nothing.
Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao and pinched his fingers to calculate the day. His Highness's body must have been better.
Based on the various absurd behaviors of His Royal Highness in the East Palace’s daily life note, the prince’s animal should also...
But I don’t know when, in the East Palace, which lucky woman could have a dragon son. If so, wouldn’t you, Zhu Houzhao, thank me?
At this time... I had to bear it. After all, they were the ruthless little pigs, and they had to whisper for ten or eight days. His Royal Highness is relatively advanced and it is understandable to have a nerve.
Zhu Houzhao really returned to normal. He felt that the matter had happened, and it was meaningless to pursue it again, so he sat down again and said, "Speaking of this, you can really sell it for a good price. Will someone be fooled by you?"
Fang Jifan smiled and said nothing: "At first, they thought it was a good medicine that was good for the disease. This thing was spicy. People who tasted it for the first time would definitely not be able to stand it, but the more they could not stand it, the more they felt that it must be a magic pill. Therefore, the more they did, the more they wanted to eat it. As they were eating, they could not live without it. Your Highness... wait."
Zhu Houzhao looked disbelief: "I have tasted it and tears are about to fall. Is this thing for people to eat? Humph, if I didn't want to frame my father, this pepper would be of no use."
Fang Jifan was ashamed.
Zhu Houzhao was righteous: "What is the difference between fooling people and fooling people? You are using the reputation of the West to earn money from the conscience."
At some point, Zhu Houzhao also felt justice.
He is obviously a rabbit, and rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests.
Fang Jifan disagreed. In fact, peppers are indeed good things and can really treat many diseases. But how can I explain this thing to Zhu Houzhao? He doesn't understand it even after explaining it.
Fang Jifan said happily: "Your Highness, the same old saying is the same, if you don't cheat the people, will your conscience hurt?"
……………………
Renshou Palace.
The Queen Mother's frostbite began to be cured miraculously. At first, the swelling was eliminated. After that, many unbearable itch began to scab and finally peeled off slowly. The pain caused by the frostbite gradually began to relieve and finally disappeared.
The disease is cured.
The Empress Dowager was in a very beautiful mood.
For lunch today, Queen Zhang and Zhu Xiurong also came.
Therefore, the three women in the harem, the old, middle and young, had a meal together.
The eunuchs told me that the meal came.
Today the Empress is here, and the Empress Dowager's illness has been relieved. The eunuchs are very clever and do not add any thirteen fragrances to the dishes.
Looking at the big table of hot meals, the Empress Dowager was in a great mood. She raised her chopsticks and greeted: "There are so many things in the palace these days, so I don't have much leisure time. Let's sit together and have a meal peacefully. Come, Xiurong, look, you see, you are as thin as a monkey, you eat more."
Zhu Xiurong nodded and bowed his head obediently to eat.
The Empress Dowager slowly raised the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, and the entrance...
The Empress Dowager's eyebrows slightly frowned... Why do you feel... it's not exciting!
