[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

The Sibeile mansion has been filled with low pressure for many days. The servants held their voices and held their breath for fear that something might be wrong and offend the eyes of the masters. It seems that I will not go out in leisure.However, people from the top to the bottom are all praying that this wave of things will pass as soon as possible, and if they delay for a day, they will have to worry about it for a day!

"Physician Chen, tell the truth." Yinzhen rubbed his tired brows, a trace of pain appeared on his young face inadvertently. in place.

"Lord Baylor, forgive me, there is nothing we can do. Eldest Brother is not taking any medicines. I'm afraid, I'm afraid... Please forgive me, Lord Baylor!" Several white-haired imperial physicians knelt tremblingly on the ground, fearing that they would be hurt by Si Baylor. The anger of the lost son is implicated.With today's medical conditions, it took a lot of effort for several imperial physicians to control smallpox without infection.For Honghui who was sick, all the imperial physicians could do was to prescribe some medicines to reduce fever and dissipate heat. Whether he could survive smallpox was almost resigned to fate.

"Master? Please let my concubine take care of Honghui!" After hearing this, Sifujin could no longer maintain her dignified and dignified posture. This is her legitimate son and only child. Sifujin wished she could die. Instead, he exchanged his own life for Hong Hui's chance to survive.

"Send Fujin back to rest, Fujin hasn't rested for days, cook a dose of calming soup." Yinzhen ordered Su Gonggong to send Sifujin back in person.The difference between men and women is revealed at this moment, no matter how sad a man is, he can still maintain his rationality at critical moments.Sifujin was almost carried back to the main courtyard, but she couldn't sleep, and knelt in the small Buddhist hall in the side hall, hoping that some bodhisattva would show up and save Honghui's life.

Cui Li entered Honghui's courtyard, which was the most secluded courtyard in the Sibeile Mansion temporarily moved here. It looked a bit deserted. After all, the safety of other people in the mansion had to be considered. The two young eunuchs brought from the palace did not Followed in, was left outside by Cui Ling in order to pass a message and get something.The servants inside were all wrapped up tightly, their faces were covered with cloth towels, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. As long as there was no order, they would like to stay far away from the room where Honghui was. It's just that the whole yard is not small, but it can't be said that it is too big. If you go, you can only gather by the wall, but each of them is still relatively safe.

There are several small stoves under the corridor of the side room, some are burning vigorously, some are boiling water, some are cooking medicine, some are making ginseng soup, some are cooking porridge, some eunuchs check the heat from time to time, stir the stove, it is so hot Even with sweat on his face, he didn't dare to take off the face scarf.There was also a young-looking imperial physician checking the medicine jar. Except for a face scarf, he was not wrapped too tightly.These days, the young imperial physician is the one who sees the doctor directly, and when he is undecided, he discusses with a few old imperial physicians who are on call outside through the door.

Someone took Cui Ling's small bundle and placed it in a temporary room in a side room.

"Aunt Cuihui." A young eunuch respectfully presented a cloth towel and a set of outer clothes, Cuilu simply covered her mouth and nose with a cloth towel, and did not change into the overalls.

Entering the house, there is a strong smell of medicine. The windows may have been closed tightly for many days without ventilation, and there is also an indescribable sour smell. He walked to the bed to check Honghui's condition.

I saw a thin and small person lying on the bed, with a pale face, scattered with large and small chicken pox, some of the chicken pox may have matured, and the skin was so thin that it was shiny, as if the next moment To burst.There are also some chickenpox that have broken, but the scabs have not yet scabbed, which looks a little more terrifying than the unbroken ones.His cheeks were sunken due to illness, and he was so thin that he almost lost his shape.In addition to the face, the exposed neck and hands also had a lot of chickenpox. The only good thing is that people who are already unconscious don’t have to worry about scratching the chickenpox because they can’t bear the itching.

Only the nanny and a little eunuch were waiting close by. When Cuilu came in, the nanny was helping to moisten her dry and chapped mouth with a clean towel soaked in water.Seeing that the two were about to get up, Cui Yu stopped her and said: "You don't need to be polite, it's important to take care of elder brother." The nanny sat down again and continued the action just now.

Cui Ling touched Hong Hui's forehead lightly, tested the temperature, and it wasn't too hot.

"Go get a basin of warm water." Cui Lu ordered the little eunuch, and then said to the nanny: "Mama, rest for a while, let me come."

Honghui's nanny has been taking care of her from the beginning of her illness, and she is really tired, but she is worried about those rough-handed little eunuchs, so she has to force herself to come. In fact, Honghui has four nanny, It's just that only this one is willing to take care of it.Because most of Honghui is in a coma, as long as he does not have a high fever, he drinks medicine and feeds ginseng soup, and the nanny can squint his eyes a little and take a nap for a while. It is not possible to sleep for a long time, so he has to check the situation from time to time. When Cui Ling came, she could breathe a little easier when she had someone to share with her, and she didn't have to be tense all the time.

Cuilu dipped a handkerchief in warm water, and gently wiped Honghui's skin without chickenpox, first on his face, then on his neck, and on his arms, so that the temperature could be somewhat lowered.The nanny on the side stared at her at first, but when she saw that Cui Ling took care of her more carefully and thoughtfully than herself, she praised her in her heart. Leaning against the little one next to him, he snored slightly, probably because he was very tired.

The room was quiet, except for the nanny's snoring, the little eunuch was infected by the snoring, and soon his little head began to doze off bit by bit.Cui Ling tentatively called out twice:

"Mommy, mommy" the sleeping grandma didn't respond at all.

Taking out a small porcelain bottle from her chest, Cui Ling carefully raised Hong Hui's body a little bit, and put the mouth of the bottle to her mouth to feed the fragrant dew, but the fragrant dew flowed out from the corner of her mouth.Cui Ling looked at the wasted fragrance with distress, it was the blood essence of the empress, there was a saying in ancient times that the fingertips were connected to the heart veins, and the blood from the fingertips was the essence blood of the heart, so it was not considered precious.

"Brother, forgive me for trespassing." Cui Ling made a confession in her heart, and gently pinched Hong Hui's nose, which was blocked and unable to breathe, and subconsciously opened her mouth, Cui Ling took the opportunity to take the remaining bit of fragrant dew Poured it in, luckily swallowed it all, and didn't waste any more, Cui Ling heaved a sigh of relief, after doing all this, put the porcelain bottle back, cleaned up the mess, and helped Hong Hui moisten her lips just like the grandma just did .

I don't know how long it took, but the nanny suddenly woke up, and saw Cui Ling sitting on the side looking at the big brother, why did she fall asleep!Nanny was a little annoyed, but elder brother was taken care of, so Nanny felt less guilty.Seeing that the little eunuch next to him was also dozing off, she was so angry that she woke up the little eunuch and said, "Go and see if brother's medicine is ready." Of course, the nanny knew that the medicine was basically gone I can't get it in, but I still want to make a last effort, feed it a few times, and I can always get in a little bit at a time, maybe it will be effective.

This courtyard has almost become a separate place isolated from Sibeile Mansion. It is not easy for Yinzhen and Sifujin to come in, so they can only hope that loyal servants will take care of them properly. That's why Honghui's usual servants were not forced If you send it in, if you are forced to avoid resentment, if you deliberately take care of the omissions, then the loss outweighs the gain.Therefore, despite the fact that there are not many servants in the courtyard, they all come in voluntarily. Some of them want to fight for their future. If the big brother is well, then they can reach the sky in one step, and some are sincere servants. Like grandma.

"Aunt Cuilu has worked hard, it's better to change to an old slave."

"Alright, I'll take a break first, and then you and I will take turns taking care of elder brother, so we can relax a little bit." Today's task has been completed, and Cui Ling will not force her to continue taking care of her. She has to conserve her strength to complete it. I don't know how many days the mission assigned by the empress will take!

"Everything is arranged by Aunt Cuilu." At least she will not have bad intentions if she can come in at the risk of danger, not to mention that both Lord Belle and Fujin have agreed, and the nanny will naturally respect this one in the palace, and listen to it. her arrangements.

The next day, Yonghe Palace sent another eunuch to visit the mansion again, but this time he didn't enter the mansion, he just asked about the situation outside the gate and then returned to the palace to report, and brought some extra clothes for Cui Lu.The little eunuch got a reply of "everything is fine", handed over the burden to the people in Baylor Mansion, and went back to the palace directly.

It went on like this for another two days, and every day, the little eunuchs came to the house with different excuses. Yesterday, they said that the empress had lost a hairpin, and asked Aunt Cuihui where she kept it; this time, she asked where the key to a small box up.Of course, every time I would ask about Honghui's brother's situation, but I somehow felt that the latter sentence was incidental, and the former was the real thing.

Of course, this was discussed in advance by Jiang Yingrong and Cui Ling. Each question has three answers, one means that the method is effective, one means that the effect cannot be seen temporarily, and one means that the method is useless.The two rely on these information to pass on the news in order to decide whether to continue. After all, the needle is quite painful.Jiang Yingrong in the palace looked at the five small bows on her left hand. These were tied by the maid according to Cui Ling's first wrapping method. Anyway, Jiang Yingrong didn't care, and let the maid do whatever she wanted, not to mention that all five fingers were wrapped up. Yes, it's a bit like dyeing your nails with impatiens.As a palace concubine, she has someone to serve her meals and clothes, and she doesn't feel any inconvenience. This thing has to be kept for a while, waiting for someone to find out.

"When all ten fingers are covered, Honghui will probably wake up." Jiang Yingrong admired her left hand, and communicated with 738 subconsciously. But still in a coma.

In Baylor Mansion, Yinzhen's face rarely showed a little eagerness:

"What did you say?"

The old doctor was so frightened that he shivered, "Go back to Lord Baylor, my servant said that although Eldest brother's condition has not improved, but he has stabilized for the time being." The doctor was also surprised, originally their diagnosis a few days ago was only a matter of two days. Son, it's just that I didn't dare to say this directly to Sibeiler, I didn't expect that it didn't continue to deteriorate.To a certain extent, this is also a good thing. It shows that elder brother's body may be fighting, and then there is a possibility of recovery, although according to the current situation, there is still little hope.

"Master Baylor, did you hear that? Hong Hui is saved, saved!" Si Fujin cried with joy when he heard the news.

The old doctor was a little embarrassed, if he hadn't been able to bear Si Baylor's continuous air-conditioning attack, he let go today, otherwise he would have to observe for another two days, and he would report when he was more sure.In case the illness was repeatedly involved, the old doctor hurriedly added: "It will take another two days of observation to make a final determination."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen." This was rare good news these days, even if it hadn't been confirmed yet, the air-conditioning on Yin Zhen's body was a little less.

"What I should do." The old doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead.
