Chapter 679 Artemisia

In the West Hall of Tokyo, the ministers bowed and stood, a beautiful shadow shaking behind the yellow gauze curtain, and the people inside seemed to be walking.

A very pleasant sound came from inside: "Didn't you receive a letter from the official to ask Cao Bin to withdraw his troops?"

Wang Pu, the Privy Councilor, who was standing in the forefront, said, "Return to Empress Duanci, the Privy Council has never received any imperial edicts from the northwest again. The letters I received a few days ago have been reported to Empress Duanci. It was from Deputy Envoy Wei, saying that he would send imperial physicians to the Taichang Temple to the south and send Zuo You, the cabinet assistant to the government, to accompany him."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said, "It's up to the official's wishes."

"Here." Wang Pu said.

The Taichang Temple minister on one side said, "I have a word."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said, "But it's okay to say it."

The Taichang Temple Minister said: "Supervisor Cao's village army camp, in accordance with the laws of the imperial guards, he specially sent officials from the Imperial Medical Office to set up a healing camp. Among them, there were not only civil servants who were recruited, but also imperial doctors. If the imperial doctors in front were helpless, it would be useless to send people."

At this moment, Wang Pu said: "Please report to Empress Duanci. The old minister has an adopted daughter named Lu Lan. He lives in the palace and has not met for a long time. I want to see her in the Privy Council and hope that Empress Duanci will be kind."

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan paused and suddenly said, "I remember that once the King of Envoy Wang was seriously ill, it was Lu Lan who cured you?"

Wang Pu worshipped: "That is why the old minister has formed a father-daughter relationship with her."

Fu Jinzhan immediately said, "Come here, go and ask Lu Lan to go to the Privy Council to see her adoptive father... and send an order to the Imperial Physician Office Chief Baishou to go."

...

On the west side of Xuanyou Gate, there is an unnamed courtyard, which is where Lu Lan lives.

This place is very quiet. The concubines on both sides of the central axis of the Xuanyou Gate harem live in the palace and will not cross the Wansui Hall; and there are some office and storage warehouses on both sides of the Wansui Hall. Only Lu Lan lives in this location.

Herbs are planted in the entire yard, and even the living room is planted with clay pots and soil, and placed on a large wooden rack.

Lu Lan was carrying a kettle and was carefully watering the flowers and plants in the basin. She was very careful. There was a kind of leaves on the broad-leaved clover that were dirty, so she also wiped them clean with a handkerchief.

After doing these tasks, she stood in front of the shelf and stretched her upper body, stretching comfortably. The sunlight spread on her body through the wooden shelf, which was very soft. Lu Lan was not tall and had small bones, but her skin was very plump. The clothes on her chest were tightly stretched when she stretched.

She put down her arms and showed a comfortable smile on her face. Seeing these plants growing in a watery way, she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

At this moment, a little palace maid stretched her neck at the door and said, "Li Shanggong, who is on duty in Wansui Palace, has come. She said she was uncomfortable these days and fell asleep at night and her body was cold, but her vest was sweating. She wanted to find you to take her pulse."

Lu Lan said: "Let her come in."

After a while, Li Shanggong, who was in his early thirties, came in with a smile on his face and greeted Miss Lu.

Lu Lan pointed to a rattan chair next to a table and said, "Please sit in Li Shanggong."

After saying that, she glanced at the kettle on the stove with white steam coming out, and walked to the wooden rack, brushed the light yellow feathered grass leaves between her fingers, stayed on a light green feathered grass leaves two times, picked up scissors, cut down two leaves, and then cleaned them in the basin.

Seeing Lu Lan delivering tea and water in his own hands, Li Shanggong said politely: "Why are you embarrassed to let Miss Lu treat this?"

Lu Lan soaked two leaves in a white porcelain cup, walked over and put them in front of Li Shanggong, and said, "You don't have to be polite, try it. Li Shanggong's symptoms are just because of yin deficiency and a little evil energy entering the body, which is not serious, so don't worry."

Li Shanggong picked up the cup and took a sip, frowned slightly, and smiled again: "It's very bitter...but it has a fragrance, it's pretty good. These are planted by Miss Lu himself?"

"That's right." Lu Lan nodded, "This is Artemisia annua, which is just right to cure your yin deficiency. In addition, the yellow Arborist is not so bitter, but it is not very useful for your disease. It is a medicine to eliminate steaming and malaria."

Li Shanggong said in surprise: "It turns out that this cup of tea is used to cure diseases!"

Lu Lan said: "There are still a few plants in the yard. I will cut some for you to go back and soak in water."

Li Shanggong blew the water surface, took another sip, and said with gratitude, "People like Madam Lu are still very respected in the palace. No one can protect themselves from eating grains. It is not convenient for people in the harem to treat doctors. Everyone can treat you with kindness. Madam Lu has few people, so it is not that boring to go around when he has time."

Lu Lan curled her lips, "I'm very happy to be with these grass flowers."

At this moment, the little palace maid brought an eunuch in. The eunuch hurriedly said, "Madam Lu, come with the family!"

Lu Lan and Li Shanggong looked at him with some confusion.

The eunuch said again: "Empress Duanci and the Privy Councilor want to see you!"

When Li Shanggong heard this, he glanced at Lu Lan a few times, pursed his lips, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll say goodbye. The matter over there is important, Miss Lu will go first."

Lu Lan got up and went out with the eunuch.

After leaving Xuanyou Gate, the two rushed straight to the Privy Council, one in front and one behind. Wang Pu and Lu Lan's uncle, the old man, were already waiting there.

When Lu Lan saw the two old men, she had to call her "uncle" and "adopted father" respectfully.

Wang Pu said: "A major event that concerns the 100,000 army! Can there be good medicine for the miasma in Lingnan be prepared?"

The old man nervously took the file sent back by the front-line imperial doctor and looked carefully. Lu Lan turned his head and followed. The old man said, "Miscity may be malaria, and the imperial doctor's method is fine. Realgar will be smoked, soak the Artemisia annua to cold water, and then drink it with juice. It is a prescription from "Shennong Bencao Jing".

Wang Pu looked at Lu Lan.

Lu Lan whispered: "I think there is something wrong with it."

Wang Pu hurriedly asked: "What's the question?"

Lu Lan said: "The people in Wushan Mountain occasionally suffer from malaria. I used Artemisia annua to treat it according to the "Shennong Bencao Jing", but found that there was no relief. Later, I used a large amount of yellow-leaved Artemisia aphrodisiac and took it for a long time to recuperate, which was quite effective... The Artemisia annua recorded in "Shennong Bencao Jing" may be Artemisia aphrodisiac. This book has been too long and the previous name may be different."

Wang Pu was overjoyed and his face turned rosy: "I know that it's right to recommend Lan'er in front of Queen Duanci!"

The old man pondered aside and said, "There is better than the blue."

In fact, Lu Lan’s medical books were not taught by him at all, but were taught by Lu Lan’s father, Divine Doctor Lu. Of course, this did not affect my uncle’s benefits.

Lu Lan said again: "My fellow doctors think that malaria is an evil spirit, but I don't think it looks like it. It may be a living thing like an invisible little bug."

"Oh?" Wang Pu looked at her with great interest.

Lu Lan pursed her lips: "There is a village in Wushan. I and my third aunt (Wushan Bailao) went to treat her. There was a family who served the patient in the same room but did not get infected. If the evil spirits were not infected with her family in the room? Instead, it was caused by several households in the stream in the village. I stayed there for a while and found that the family poured the filthy things into the stream, so the people downstream took it to drink water and then got it.

Shennong’s prescription can relieve malaria, and may be cured, but not necessarily cured. If there are many military camps, the first thing to do is to separate those infected with malaria, prohibit everyone from drinking raw water, and cook the dirty things of the sick before pouring them..."

Wang Pu nodded uncontrollably and said, "After all, it is related to the lives of many people. In order to be foolproof, I can only let Lan'er go."

Lu Lan said: "The little girl listened to the order of her adopted father."

So Wang Pu went to the west hall of Jinxiang Palace to ask for an order and was eager to arrange his itinerary.

Jingniang also accompanied Lu Lan to the south, and Xu Erniang, who was a servant by Lu Lan; civil officials included Baishou and Zuo You and Fu Jinzhan transferred an elite cavalry team to escort them to Lingnan.

The group crossed the river and passed through the old land of the Southern Tang Kingdom. They first came to Xiongzhou, which had been occupied by the Zhou army. There were many serious illnesses there.

Zuo You took over the power of the Xiongzhou Infectious Barracks and first isolated and removed the pollution according to Lu Lan's method. He also sent people to collect artemisia everywhere and sent them to Xiongzhou City.

Everyone brought a group of officials, soldiers and civilians to start treatment. This decoction is also quite strange. It is not like other medicinal herbs. You have to boil the water and cool it first, soak it in cold water, then crush it and take it to others every day.

There are thousands of sick soldiers, and people die every day, requiring a lot of artemisia and manpower. Lu Lan and others also work by themselves, and they are so busy that they are extremely busy.

One day, Xu Erniang saw people carrying the bodies of soldiers out of the camp and burned them. She remembered that Zhao Hu's body was also injured in the military camp. She was so moved that she cried so hard that she was so excited.

She wiped her tears and walked to the door of a yard, watching the body coming out. At this moment, she suddenly heard a voice moaning: "Is it my turn, is it..."

The sound was filled with despair and fear.

Xu Erniang felt soft and went in to take a look. She saw a pale and haggard young man lying on the broken bed, staring at the roof with his eyes wide open.

Although the soldier looked sick, he was very handsome. He looked very kind-faced and tall. Xu Erniang stood at the door of the house and seemed to block his light. The soldier suddenly shook: "Why is the sky suddenly dark? Have I gone to the underworld?"

Xu Erniang hurried over and advised with kind words: "Don't be afraid, we have good medicine. As long as we have peace of mind to recuperate, we will definitely get better."

After a few words of persuasion, the soldier's godless eyes regained a little. He turned to look at Xu Erniang and said blankly: "Why are you crying? Do you know me?"

Xu Erniang couldn't answer and shook her head silently.

She turned around and saw an iron cup on the broken wooden table at the head of the bed, so she picked it up and walked out, put it in a pot on the firewood and burned it, then scooped a cup of cold soup and walked in, then helped the sergeant up and fed him the medicine.

The military officer said, "Can you live after drinking this?"

Xu Erniang said: "If you drink more, you will definitely cure it."
