Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

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

A soothing and pleasant voice came from inside: "Didn't you receive a letter from the official asking Cao Bin to retreat?"

The privy envoy Wang Pu, who was standing in the front row, said: "Go back to Empress Duanci, the Privy Council has not received any imperial decrees from the northwest. The letter received a few days ago has been reported to Empress Duanci, and it was written by Deputy Envoy Wei, saying that Taichang Temple will send an imperial doctor to the south, and the cabinet assistant Zuo You will accompany him."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "Let's follow the officials' 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."

Taichang Temple Qing said: "Marshal Cao's township army camp, according to the law of the forbidden army, specially sent officials from the imperial medical office to set up a healing camp. Among them were not only civilian doctors who were conscripted, but also imperial doctors. If the imperial doctor in front is helpless, I am afraid that sending people will not help."

At this moment, Wang Pu said: "Please play Empress Duanci. The old minister has a adopted daughter named Lu Lan who lives in the palace and has not seen her for a long time. I would like to meet her in the Privy Council. I hope Empress Duanci will be kind."

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan paused, and suddenly said, "I remember Wang Shijun was seriously ill once, and it was Lu Lan who cured you?"

Wang Pu said: "That's right, that's why the old minister formed a bond of father and daughter with her."

Fu Jinzhan immediately said: "Come here, go and ask Lu Lan to meet her adoptive father at the Privy Council... Order the old man from the Imperial Medical Office to go too."

...

On the west side of Xuanyou Gate, there is a small courtyard without a name, which is where Lu Lan lives.

The place is very clean. The concubines on both sides of the central axis of the Xuanyoumen harem live in the palace, and they will not cross the Longevity Hall; on both sides of the Longevity Hall are some offices and warehouses for storing things. Only Lu Lan lived in this position.

Herbs are planted throughout the yard, and even in the living room, flowers and plants are planted in earthenware pots placed on a large wooden frame.

Lu Lan was holding a kettle and watering the flowers and plants in the pot very carefully. She was very careful, and when the leaves of a certain kind of broad-leaved grass were dirty, she also wiped them gently with a handkerchief.

After finishing these tasks, she stood in front of the shelf and stretched her upper body comfortably. The sun shines on her body through the wooden frame, which is very soft and beautiful. Lu Lan is not tall, with small bones, but her skin is plump. When she stretched her waist, the clothes on her chest were stretched tightly.

She lowered her arms, a pleasant smile on her face. Seeing the juicy growth of these plants, 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 at the Long Live Hall, has come. She said that she has not been feeling well for the past few days, and she felt cold when she fell asleep at night, but her vest was sweating. She wants to ask you to feel her pulse."

Lu Lan said, "Call her in."

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

Lu Lan pointed to a wicker chair next to a table and said, "Li Shanggong, please sit down."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the white steam coming from the kettle on the stove, then walked to the wooden frame, brushed the light yellow feathery grass leaves with her fingers, and stopped on a light green second feathery grass leaf, picked up the scissors and cut off two leaves, and then cleaned them in the basin.

Li Shanggong saw Lu Lan serving tea and water with his own hands, and said politely, "Why do you have the nerve to let Mrs. Lu treat you like this?"

Lu Lan soaked two leaves in a white porcelain cup, walked over and put it in front of Li Shanggong, and said, "You're welcome, just try it. Li Shanggong's symptoms are just a little evil energy entering the body due to yin deficiency, and it's not a serious problem, so don't worry about it."

Li Shanggong took a sip from the cup, frowned slightly, and then smiled again: "It's very bitter...but it has a delicate fragrance, which is very good. These are all planted by Mrs. Lu herself?"

"That's right." Lu Lan nodded and said, "This kind of Artemisia annua is good for curing your yin deficiency. The other yellow Artemisia annua is not so bitter, but it is not very useful for your illness. It is a medicine for steaming and cutting off malaria."

Li Shanggong said in surprise: "So this cup of tea is for curing diseases!"

Lu Lan said: "There are still a few plants in the yard, I'll cut some later for you to soak in water for drinking."

Li Shanggong blew on the surface of the water, took another sip, expressed gratitude, and said: "People like Mrs. Lu are still very respected in the palace. People eat five grains, and no one is guaranteed not to suffer from three diseases and two pains. It is not convenient for people in the harem to visit the doctor, so everyone can treat you with a pleasant face. There are few people on Mrs. Lu's side, and it is not so boring to walk around our side when you have more time."

Lu Lan curled her lips, "I really like staying with these plants and flowers."

At this moment, the little maid came in with an eunuch. The eunuch hurriedly said: "Lady Lu, come with the miscellaneous family!"

Lu Lan and Li Shanggong looked at him suspiciously.

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

Upon hearing this, Li Shanggong glanced at Lu Lan, pursed his lips, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll take my leave. The matter over there is important. Miss Lu, let's go first."

Lu Lan got up and followed the eunuch out.

After leaving Xuanyou Gate, the two rushed straight to the Privy Council, where Wang Pu and Lu Lan's uncles were already waiting there.

When Lu Lan saw the two old men, she could only respectfully call them "uncle" and "foster father".

Wang Pudao: "It's a matter of 100,000 troops! Lingnan miasma, can there be a good medicine?"

The old man nervously read the dossier sent back by the frontline doctor, Lu Lan turned his head and followed suit. The old man said: "The miasma may be malaria. The imperial doctor's method is no problem. Use realgar to smoke, soak a lot of Artemisia annua in cold water, and then drink it with squeezed juice. This is a prescription from "Shen Nong's Materia Medica"."

Wang Pu looked at Lu Lan.

Lu Lan said softly: "I think there is something wrong."

Wang Pu hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?"

Lu Lan said: "Occasionally there are people in Wushan who suffer from malaria. I used to treat Artemisia annua according to the "Shen Nong’s Materia Medica", but found no relief. Later, I used a large amount of Artemisia annua with yellow leaves, and took it for a long time.

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

The old man muttered to the side: "The blue is better than the blue because of the blue."

In fact, Lu Lan's medical books were not taught by him at all, but by Lu Lan's father, Lu Miracle Doctor. Of course, this does not affect my uncle's success.

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

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

Lu Lan pursed her lips: "A village in Wushan had malaria, and my third aunt (Wushan Baimao) and I went to treat it. There was a family member who was serving the sick in the same room but was not infected. If it was evil, why didn't it infect the family members in the small room? On the contrary, a few households who lived by the stream in the village were infected. I stayed there for a while and found that the family poured the filth into the stream, so people downstream took drinking water, and then they got infected.

Shennong's prescription can alleviate malaria, maybe it can be cured, but it is not guaranteed to be cured. If it is a military camp with a large number of people, first of all, those who are infected with malaria must be separated, everyone is forbidden to drink raw water, and the sewage of the sick is boiled first and then poured out..."

Wang Pu couldn't help but nodded, and said: "After all, the lives of many people are at stake. In order to be safe, I can only let Lan'er go."

Lu Lan said: "The little girl obeys the orders of her adoptive father."

So Wang Pu went to the west hall of Jinxiang hall to ask for an order, and hurriedly arranged the itinerary.

Jingniang also accompanied Lu Lan to the south, and there was Xu Erniang who was beside Lu Lan as an attendant; the civil servants included the old man and Zuo You. Fu Jinzhan dispatched a group of elite cavalry from the inner palace to escort them to Lingnan.

A group of people crossed the great river, passed through the old land of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and first came to Xiongzhou, which had been occupied by the Zhou army. There are many dying patients who are seriously ill.

Zuo You took over the power of the sick barracks in Xiongzhou, and first carried out isolation and decontamination according to Lu Lan's method. They also sent people around to collect Artemisia sage and sent them to Xiongzhou City.

Everyone led a group of officials, soldiers, and civilian husbands to start the treatment. This decoction is also rather weird, it is not boiled like other medicinal materials, it has to be boiled and cooled, soaked in cold water, then crushed to get the juice, and given to people every day.

There are tens of thousands of sick soldiers, and people die every day, which requires a lot of grass and manpower. Lu Lan and others also work on it themselves, and they are very busy.

One day Xu Erniang saw people carrying the corpses of soldiers out of the camp to be burned, remembering that Zhao Hu's corpse was also in the wounded barracks, she burst into tears.

She wiped away her tears, walked to the gate of a yard, and saw that the corpse was being carried out again. At this moment, a voice suddenly groaned: "Is it my turn, isn't it..."

The voice was full of desperation and fear.

Xu Erniang's heart softened, so she went in to look, and saw a pale and haggard young man lying on the broken bed, staring at the roof.

Although the sergeant had a sick face, he was very handsome, with a very kind face and a tall figure. Xu Erniang stood at the door of the house and seemed to block his light, the sergeant suddenly trembled: "Why is it getting dark all of a sudden, am I in the underworld!"

Xu Erniang hurried over and persuaded: "Don't be afraid, we have good medicine, as long as you feel at ease and recuperate, you will be fine."

After a few words of persuasion, the sergeant's dull eyes recovered a little, and he turned to look at Xu Erniang, and said in a daze, "Why are you crying? Do you know me?"

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

She turned her head and saw an iron cup on the broken wooden table beside the bed, she picked it up and went out, put it in a pot placed on the firewood to boil it, then came in with a cup of cold soup and medicine, helped the sergeant and fed him the medicine.

The sergeant asked, "Can you live after drinking this?"

Xu Erniang said: "Drink more, it will definitely be cured."

The sergeant picked up the iron cup and poured it into his stomach with a "gulu gulu". \u003c
