Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Re-clarification

Once he opened his eyes, Jang Geum fumbled for Jung Ho, but he was still in a coma.It was already dark in the yard, and they may have been asleep for a long time.No, perhaps it is not the night, but the dawn of a new day. If he had known this would happen, he should have gone to the sick screen to call Yun Bai. Jang Geum regretted it a little.Such a long time is enough for Yun Bai to bring the patient back for treatment. Now, Jang Geum still wanted to call Yun Bai, but his body didn't listen to him, and when he touched his forehead, it was burning hot, and his stomach was overwhelmed with pain, and his lower abdomen also hurt badly.

"Do I also have an infectious disease?" Jang Geum was talking to himself, then shook his head vigorously.Didn't Yun Bai say that this disease will not spread from person to person.Needless to say, after coming here, she hadn't eaten anything from a cow for a long time before, but she obviously felt that her body was gradually losing strength.Chang Jin couldn't help wondering, the almighty Yun Bai might have made a mistake.Even if they are not eaten directly, pathogenic bacteria may invade the human body through other channels, perhaps from respiratory organs or wounds.

In an instant, she suddenly remembered the fingernails that were injured when she was pounding Zhifengcao.Could it be that the negligence in the panic planted the seeds of disaster?This is all uncertain. Jang Geum felt a trance in front of her eyes, she forcefully opened her heavy eyelids, and looked down at Zheng Hao.It was the first time Jang Geum saw Zheng Hao's face after taking off the black gauze hat. She didn't know that Zheng Hao's forehead was so broad and smooth.Normally, Zheng Hao always had a smiling face, but now his eyes and mouth are tightly closed, as if he is another person.

Jang Jin tentatively stroked his forehead and eyes, stroked his cheeks and jaw. "Smart and talented, no matter what you do, it will benefit the people. This is the word written on that note. No matter what you do, it will benefit the people." When Jang Geum lost his flour and was about to give up the royal meal competition, Zheng Hao said this to her back.Thinking back, every time I was in the dark and felt that the future was bleak and difficult to move forward, Zheng Hao would appear by my side.Mineral water was spilled, and her foot was sprained. When she was sitting on the ground blankly, Zheng Hao appeared.On the way to Jeju Island after losing Han Shanggong, the three-color tassel streamer given to her by Zhenghao made her persevere and not die.Whenever he was in the most difficult juncture, Zheng Hao would appear in front of him like a light, like a rescuer, so he had the courage to survive.

Without him, I can't seem to live, and I don't want to live.Mother, father, Ding Shanggong, and Han Shanggong, maybe they are in a comfortable place, otherwise, how could they never return.If Zheng Hao is going somewhere, then he is willing to go with him.The people I love are all there, and now I just need to follow them. Thinking about it carefully, apart from his mother, Han Shanggong and Yun Bai, Jang Jin felt that he had a master. Without Zheng Hao, she would never experience the feeling of being a woman.When I think about it, my heart trembles, and I feel anxious about trivial things. When I don't see him, I feel a blank in my heart. When I see him, I go forward bravely without fear.Only Zheng Hao in the world can teach her to experience this feeling. It seems that he was born with a "benefactor relationship".

"My lord, I couldn't give up before, because I couldn't betray my mother and Han Shanggong's last wish. Now I seem to be able to give up. I failed to fulfill their last wish and left the world like this. Although I feel a little bitter, I can achieve it through death." My wish, the wish of an adult, is a dream that I must die to realize." Tears dripped down, moistening Zheng Hao's face.Jang Geum carefully wiped off the place soaked by tears, and then put it on his lips.At this moment, Jang Geum's tears moistened Zheng Hao's forehead. "One thing, I didn't tell you that the three-color tassel streamer that the adults gave me is actually my father's relic. I am worried that the adults will never be able to leave me after they know it. In order to repay me, they will not be able to get rid of the imperfect me, so I never told you. Now you don't have to worry, because I'm going with you too. I'm going with you."

Jang Geum lay next to Jung Ho.One hand clenched the three-color tassel streamer tightly, and the other hand held Zheng Hao's hand.The moment he lay down, Jang Geum realized that since he left Baiding Village, this was the first time he was lying down without any worries or burdens.Difficult life, so many troubles, one problem is solved, and then there will be more serious problems, one after another, one after another, rushing to face.Now I can finally rest in peace. I hope that in the next life I can be a person without talent, living only within his walls and fences.A woman who has no talent is a virtue. If she doesn't have talent, she doesn't have to face so many worldly troubles.I will not be tortured by anyone, and I will not harm anyone. I just hope that I can watch him day and night and serve him alone for the rest of my life.

Before the consciousness disappeared, the last thing to emerge was the mother's face.Jang Geum thought that he still failed to fulfill his promise in the end, and now the mountain strawberries should be ripe. "You guys, even a thousand cuts can't get rid of the hatred in my heart!" Yun Bai cursed at the team that insisted on evacuating.Yun Bai patiently explained the cause of the infectious disease, but they only snorted a few times, packed their bags and prepared to leave on the grounds that the spread would not continue. Yun Bai was still looking for Jang Jin, and heard from the last medical woman who had seen Jang Jin that she had asked about Confucian doctor Min Zhenghao.

Following their tracks, Yun Bai went to neighboring villages and also to the pharmacy in Yicheng.It wasn't until he heard that the medicine merchant had been imprisoned in the government office that he suddenly realized that something bad must have happened. Yun Bai was very busy, but none of the medical officers in the dispatch team was willing to help him. "It must be that the two are on good terms and ran away together." They either sneered or turned a deaf ear.The guy who said that got his nose crooked on the spot. If we asked everyone to search separately, it would definitely be much faster than him alone, but neither the leader nor the chief order wanted to help.Yun Bai went back and forth between the city and the village like crazy.They're all gone, and now there's not even anyone to complain about.

We can't go on like this.Yunbai has determined that the cause of the disease is beef. According to the results of previous investigations, patients with infectious diseases have also appeared in villages a little further away. Of course, these people have also eaten beef, but not beef from this village.A wealthy family of two classes of aristocrats killed a cow at their son's wedding, held a banquet, and distributed the rest of the food to the men instead of wages. The grass over there is very good, and the quality of the beef that has eaten good grass is also good.I heard that a lot of beef was offered to Hanyang. If this area is not well controlled, Hanyang will not be peaceful.

Beef was originally a food that only the nobles could eat, so it was not a bad thing to take this opportunity to destroy the prestige of those high-spirited nobles.The beef handed in locally is likely to be offered to the royal palace. As a doctor, you can't stand by and watch.But now the top priority is to find Jang Jin, she left without saying anything, Yun Bai thought she would come back soon.If it wasn't for the lack of time, she would definitely tell herself.In order to find Min Zhenghao, a Confucian doctor, she went to a neighboring village, where the accident probably happened. Yun Bai paced up and down restlessly, thinking about what to do next.After much deliberation, I still can't think of a good way.He had already searched for everything in the surrounding villages. No matter how wide he searched, it would be hard to guess that it would take a few days to find Jang Geum. He needs to find some people to help.Yun Bai was thinking about how to find someone to help, when a man happened to walk over and kept looking at Yun Bai with his eyes. "Who are you looking for?" "I heard that the sick screen sent by the imperial court is here, do you know?" "Who are you?" "My family is in the next door village, and the whole village was evacuated because of the epidemic. I heard that the epidemic has been brought under control, and I just came back." "The dispatch team just left." "Looks like I'm a step late." "What's the matter with you?" "Someone asked me to send a message to Mr. Zheng Yunbai, saying that it is urgent." "I am Zheng Yunbai, what message do you want to pass? Is it a young woman who wants you to send a message?" Yun Bai thought that it might be Jang Geum, and his heart was furious.It's unbearable for a man to speak slowly. "Not a woman." "Say it." "It's a nobleman. He said he wanted to come in person, but he couldn't move his body. Let me come to Lord Zheng Yunbai." "Where?" As Yun Bai walked and asked, he vaguely felt that the person might be Min Zhenghao.If Min Jung Ho was looking for him, where is Jang Geum and what is she doing? Yun Bai, the village entrance to this village, had been here before, but because there was no one there, he just took a quick look and passed by.Following the young man across the spacious courtyard and into the room, the man sitting on the floor hurriedly stood up.It seems that his health is not very good. "Is it Lord Zheng Yunbai?" "yes……" "I'm Min Zhenghao, please go in and have a look." "So what happened?" "Xu Changjin is inside..." After hearing this, Yun Bai ran inside like lightning.At first he thought that Jang Geum was dead, but he felt the darkness before his eyes.Fortunately, Jang Geum's pulse is still beating. "How did you make it like this?" Before he could figure out the ins and outs of the matter, Yun Bai got angry first, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was because of Min Zhenghao. "I was stabbed and wounded by a group of villains, and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, it was like this. What happened?" "As a Confucian doctor, do you still need to ask me?" "I can only do some emergency treatment, I don't know much, and I lack experience..." Yunbai immediately started to heal Jang Geum.Fortunately, when passing through the wetlands down from Jiri Mountain, Yun Bai accidentally discovered a plant called Huangtu Sanbaicao, which he still carries with him.This is a perennial herb that grows sparsely on clean and watery land. After being boiled, it can not only make the patient spit out the accumulated waste in the abdomen, but also drive away the poisonous gas in the abdomen. "How? Can you survive?" Min Jung Ho stayed by Jang Geum's side for a moment, asking the same questions over and over again.Yun Bai didn't answer once. "Can you survive?" Yunbai wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything suitable to prevent Jang Geum from dehydrating, Min Jungho followed and asked the same question again. "I do not know either." "I'm so anxious, please say something to me, even one sentence is fine." "I don't even know whether she is alive or dead. What do you want me to say?" "You are an experienced medical officer, can't you guess it?" "I can't figure it out. I'm going out now. Make room for me." Yun Bai pushed and shoved past Zheng Hao and went outside, the dazzling sunlight hurt his eyes.Yun Bai glanced back while putting on his shoes, Min Zhenghao was stunned and stood in the room blankly.Yun Bai suddenly thought that he must also feel very uncomfortable, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Zheng Hao. "If you have time to hang around here, you might as well get me some grout." "I'll go right away. But what is ground slurry water?" "It's loess water." "Do you want to give her to drink loess water?" "Instead of drinking loess water, pour water into the loess and stir it evenly. After a long time, scoop out the clear water that floats on top. I don't know if there is any loess nearby." "No matter what, I must find the loess." Ground slurry water has a strong detoxification effect and can be used to clean the internal organs of food poisoning.If it is poisoned by poisonous mushrooms, there is almost no cure except ground pulp water. Min Zhenghao ran out with tears of gratitude, and finally found something he could do, and he seemed to have regained some energy. There is a tank in the corner of the yard to catch rainwater, after Yun Bai washed his hands, he giggled to himself.It seems that this man is capable of helping, has a chivalrous heart, and is considered a good character among nobles. Even from a man's point of view, he looks handsome.As the two classes of nobles, it is rare to cherish a pharmacy prostitute so much. "idiot!" Yun Bai was feeling lucky to find someone who could help, but this sentence came out of his mouth in a daze. "As a lowly person, why did you fall in love with Liangban?" Yun Bai was in a bad mood again, and even hated Min Zhenghao. In order to look for the loess, Zheng Hao looked around and finally found what he was looking for in an orchard planted with pear trees, so he jumped in without thinking.Even if the master sees him and sues him to the government, it doesn't matter, as long as he can save Jang Geum, let alone the government, even if he walks into hell, he is willing. "The three-color fringed ribbon you gave me, my lord, is actually my father's relic." Dimly, Zhong Zhenghao heard Jang Geum's voice, at first he thought it was a dream, but when he reached out to touch it, he found that hand was familiar, it was the hand he felt when he was stabbed and fell to the ground by the Japanese general.It was not others who saved him, but Jang Geum!He tried his best to wake up, but his body was stuck to the ground like a stone, unable to move. As long as Jang Geum can be saved, he can do anything no matter whether he goes up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire.It was this woman who saved her own life twice, not to mention this time it was because of saving her that she did this.What he can dedicate to this woman is only one life, which makes him feel very sorry. Yun Bai took the loess, poured water and stirred it.He was still the same as before, not saying a word.Even if he said the last word, Zheng Hao would feel better in his heart. I really don't know if he really didn't know, or if he knew but kept silent on purpose. After giving Chang Jin a drink of ground syrup, Yun Bai came outside.Zheng Hao impatiently followed behind Yun Bai, entangled with him, and this time he must let him speak no matter what. In the yard, slender bamboos replaced the walls, whistling and trembling in the wind.Yun Bai thought of the solemn bamboo forest under the snow-covered Silver Ridge at the foot of the moonrise mountain.Although I was extremely desperate at the time, it was a happy time compared to now.At that time, at least Jang Geum was alive, this is a fact without doubt. Yun Bai stood with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the tall bamboo. "It seems that the danger period has passed." Before Zheng Hao could question him, Yun Bai actually spoke, which was the news that Zheng Hao was eagerly looking forward to.Thousands of words are useless, Zheng Hao's heart clenched tightly, as if he was dying, just waiting for these words. "Is it an infectious disease?" "The symptoms are very similar, but I'm not sure. Many people died this time, but I don't think it's an infectious disease, but because of sick beef..." "Can sick beef kill so many people?" "The cattle here seem to be poisoned. I haven't been able to find out the exact reason. It may be grass or water. As long as it is the feed that the cattle can eat, there may be a problem. What's wrong with the cattle that ate the feed No, people will get sick after eating beef." "But why did so many people die?" "Old people don't have many opportunities to eat beef. Many people eat it together, and everyone eats a little. Not only the bones, but also the tail can be eaten for a few days. Isn't it summer now? In order to eat it before it goes bad Light, it is likely to call all the relatives together to eat beef." In fact, this is an infectious disease caused by anthrax bacteria. "Charcoal" comes from black ulcers on the skin. Different ways of anthrax bacteria invasion, the symptoms are different.Pulmonary anthrax that invades through the respiratory tract is the most serious. The initial symptoms are almost the same as those of a cold, and breathing difficulties gradually appear, which may lead to life-threatening.Intestinal anthrax caused by food contamination can lead to acute intestinal infection, with symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, and fever, and gradually develops to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, and vomiting blood.In addition, there is cutaneous anthrax caused by skin contact.It was impossible to find out the cause and treatment of anthrax with the medical skills at that time.If there is no Yunbai, I am afraid that the disease is not even found to be related to cattle. "It sounds reasonable to you. However, if there are problems with the grass and water in this place, aren't the other cattle also worrying?" "I'm also worried about this. I should quickly order to ban the consumption of beef, and stop offering to Hanyang and the palace as soon as possible, but the local chief just hummed and didn't take it seriously." "This is terrible, you should report to the palace as soon as possible..." Zheng Hao didn't finish his sentence, because he couldn't let Jang Geum go. In fact, with Yunbai here, his presence or absence wouldn't matter, but he couldn't watch Jang Geum wake up with his own eyes, so he still didn't want to go away. It is important for a man to protect his family and country, but it is also important to protect his beloved woman. This is what he himself said.It was true that losing one's life meant losing everything, but now, this woman who was more precious than herself was hovering on the brink of death. It is not only this matter that needs to be reported to the king as soon as possible, but also the crime of Cui Sanju's crime that needs to be reported truthfully is also imminent, but that will have to wait for Jang Geum to come back to life.First of all, save Jang Geum, and then take this opportunity to clear Han Shanggong's charges. "Do you know Cui Juanju this person?" "Of course I know, why did you suddenly mention this person?" "A doctor lied that Huishengsan was a special medicine for treating infectious diseases, and sold it to the common people in large quantities. I conducted a secret investigation. During the investigation, I learned that Cui Panshu Trading Company had a major connection with this matter. On my way back after investigating the situation, I was hunted down by an assassin, and that’s why I became what I am now. I must return to the palace as soon as possible, and report this person’s crime of deceiving the world and harming the people to the king.” "The distribution of medicinal materials for Dian Medical Supervisor is also controlled by Cui Panshu Trading Company." "Great. I hope you can help me so that this guy can never stand up again." "I will do my best." The two congenial men exchanged gentle glances with each other, and soon felt awkward again, and they turned their heads away.Perhaps because of the awkward atmosphere, Yun Bai kept coughing dryly. "It is impossible to have any special medicine for infectious diseases, but he uses it to deceive the kind and poor people, just wanting to fill his own pockets... Even if Jang Geum is alive, but they are so rampant, can Jang Geum live in peace? , It's all a problem. Whether it's life or death, as the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black, but she is just a child who emerges from the mud and is not stained. She is so innocent and kind that she is almost stupid, and she doesn't know how to integrate into the world. Since As a woman, one should live according to women's rules, which is the law of nature... From this point of view, she is really a poor child." Listening to Yun Bai's words, Zheng Hao suddenly remembered something.Zheng Yunbai, no wonder it sounds so familiar, it turned out that he was the owner of the letter that Chang Jin sent when he and Chang Jin met on the first day. Smart and talented, no matter what he does, he will benefit the people.This is what was written on that note.No matter what you do, it will benefit the common people, so please try your best to lend her books.The content of the letter is still fresh in Zheng Hao's memory. "grown ups!" The two preoccupied men turned around at the same time, and Jang Geum was leaning on the threshold, looking at them. grown ups?What kind of adult is it?Aren't there two adults here? "grown ups!" Damn "Master", Jang Geum yelled again.Is it because there are two adults, so everyone calls it once?However, Yunbai had to admit painfully that both Jang Geum's eyes were on Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao went out to find two horses, and when he came back Yun Bai had already left. "Is he leaving? Didn't he say to go back to Hanyang together?" "He said he wanted to finish what he hadn't done, so he went to Jirisan Mountain." Yun Bai left alone without saying hello, Zheng Hao felt very regretful in his heart, but he could only look forward to a later date.Jang Jin's face was still a little pale. "Then he left the patient alone?" "How can you say that you left it alone, isn't there still you, my lord?" "Leaving you here alone, not even for a while, almost caused a big accident." "He didn't leave until your figure appeared, my lord." Zheng Hao was careful, like treating a child.Chang Jin was grateful, but still defended Yun Bai. "I wonder if you can ride a horse?" "Master Zheng Yunbai said that as long as it's not too strenuous, it should be fine." "That's it, don't be too strenuous, let's go slowly." Zheng Hao prepared the saddle, picked up Jang Geum and went straight to the horse, even though Jang Geum said he could walk.Sharp long knives, bows and arrows, and even javelins are all on his body. Although he is a little slow to move when he is fully armed, Cui Panshu's lackeys may pop up at any intersection. "I chose the most obedient horse, but to prevent accidents, the speed should not be too fast, and I will follow behind you." Jang Geum bent slightly, and carefully stroked the horse's flanks, as if saying "Take care of me" to the horse.The black-brown mane is lustrous and incredibly soft. Although the speed is not fast, the wind is very strong when riding on horseback.The body still has a low-grade fever and feels a little cold, but the heart is as relaxed as flying. "You can ride back with Zheng Hao." The morning glory passing by the roadside also made her feel grateful. Not far away, they were arrested by officers and soldiers. "What are you doing?" Seeing Jang Geum being pulled off his horse to tie his hands, Zheng Hao shouted angrily, but Zheng Hao's hands were also tied by the officers and soldiers. "Did you see the wrong person? I am Min Zhenghao, a Confucian doctor in the internal hospital." "We were only following orders to arrest Min Jung-ho who escaped with Seo Jang-geum, the internal medicine woman." "What escape? I'm going back to the palace to meet the king now." "I have already said that we are only following orders. If you have something to say, go to the Forbidden City." "Who gave this order?" "All the internal hospitals have transferred Wu Jiannu to the chief supervisor." It's clearly a conspiracy!Cui Panshu and Cui Shanggong must have colluded with Wu Jianhu, but how did they know that he was still alive.Even if they did run away, it would be impossible for Tangtang to make a big fuss over a mere medical girl.What Zheng Hao was most worried about was Jang Geum's health. Her body hadn't recovered yet, so it was really hard for her to walk while being tied up like this. "I see, I'll go with you, but please let her ride. She's a sick man, just out of life and death." "We can't treat prisoners like this." "She is the one who controls the infectious disease! I am responsible for everything, please do as I say!" "no!" "Then I won't follow you obediently. I can easily break the rope and escape. If the criminal is released, do you still expect to be safe?" Zheng Hao stared at him with anger.The officers and soldiers were probably overwhelmed by his aura, so they stopped insisting and let Jang Geum mount the horse. Zhenghao was escorted to Yijin Mansion, and that night, he couldn't sleep all night.The next morning, Zheng Hao was brought before the governor.Maybe this is a good thing. It is rare for the governor of the second rank to directly interrogate the prisoner.Even if it is Wu Jianhu's instructions, it is much better than facing those little bosses. Even if you shout at them, you are still playing the piano against the bull. After telling the story, Zhenghao proposed to order a fasting of beef, but the governor turned a deaf ear.Seeing that there was no way out, Zheng Hao had no choice but to change his strategy and use a threatening tone. "If you don't order beef fasting, what if His Highness gets infected and hurts the dragon's body?" "Are you threatening me now?" "Besides me and the medical girl, there is another medical officer who also knows about this. If he knows that you have not taken any measures, he will never be indifferent." Wu Jianhu must have asked them to imprison Zhenghao and Janggeum in the Yijin Mansion, and then deal with them without anyone noticing, so Zhenghao decided to shock them first. The governor narrowed his eyes and stared at Zheng Hao, then reluctantly made a suggestion. "I will let others eat the beef donated in this area. If there is nothing abnormal, let alone you and the medical girl, even the medical officer will be strictly dealt with. Listen up!" "it is good!" After receiving the notice from the governor, Wu Jianhu convened a meeting with the medical officers of the Inner Hospital, the most noble palace, Shang Yun's servants, and promoted Shanggong.The final conclusion is as Cui Panshu said, don't worry about things that are impossible.Cui Panshu wanted to take this opportunity to drive Jang Geum and Min Zhenghao away together, so that they would never have the opportunity to step into the palace. "It's impossible. How can cattle that eat grass for a living be poisoned?" The first to express his opinion was Tiao Shang Gong, and then Shang Yun's servant spoke. "They said it wasn't an infectious disease. The problem was the beef. Wouldn't it be bad if His Highness hurt the dragon's body after eating it? Let's do what they asked. It's not a particularly difficult thing anyway?" Cui Shanggong pouted to express his disapproval. "Isn't it just a guy who ran away with the maid talking nonsense? Is it necessary for us to do this? Besides, this female nurse has tried to harm His Highness before." "Trying to harm His Highness, are you talking about Jang Geum?" "yes." "I heard that Jang Geum went to Jeju and came back again. I was already very surprised. Why did she become a medical girl again? When did this child become a medical girl?" Titiao Shanggong's eyes widened, but Cui Shanggong was noncommittal, and she didn't know the details, and she hardly talked to Titiao Shanggong recently. "In short, we can't ignore it. This is the king's food, do you want to act hastily and cause trouble?" "So, who is more suitable for eating?" "Isn't that obvious?" "Who?" As soon as Ti Tiao Shang Gong finished speaking, Wu Jianhu looked at everyone present in turn and asked loudly. "The food to be served on the imperial dining table, except for the noblest palace in the imperial dining room, who is qualified to take on this responsibility?" "Me? There are so many people who don't use it. Are you happy that I, the most noble palace, must do this kind of thing?" "What's wrong? Are you scared?" "What am I afraid of?" "Are you afraid of getting sick from eating? If so, what's the matter with what you just said?" "It's not that I'm afraid. I just feel that it violates the status of the most noble palace, so I said so." "You don't have to worry, this will only raise your status." "What do you mean by that?" "In order to distinguish whether the food is poisonous, the most noble palace personally tasted it. Of course, I have to make this matter public. If you talk about it, the people below will regard you as a role model; if you talk about it, how much does the king trust you? You forgot the worm Is there something about the bird whole duck soup?" Ti Tiao Shang Gong was stubborn, and Cui Shang Gong had nothing to say, so he had to keep silent, neither advancing nor retreating.In the end, Shang Yun's servant stood up and made the final decision. "That's it, I'm leaving first. Titiao Shanggong is in charge of this matter and personally supervises it." "yes." The promotion of Shang Gong was triumphant.Cui Shanggong originally had something to say, but he held back, making the muscles on his face twitch continuously. She should have kept her mouth shut long ago.If she accidentally offends her, she will definitely pounce on her desperately, and she should be gagged forever.I originally planned to plan this matter after a little stabilization, but it seems that I made a mistake in my decision-making, and I should have struck while the iron was hot. Eating beef is not a big deal, what made Cui Shanggong angry was that she lost to Titiao Shanggong, she gritted her teeth, as if she had suffered a great humiliation. Three days later, Cui Shanggong, who was preparing dinner, fell ill.The medical officer of the internal hospital came to check the situation and immediately ordered a fasting of beef.Later, Jang Geum and Zheng Hao were also released. Zheng Hao didn't turn back to the palace until he confirmed that Jang Geum had entered the gate of the winery.It would take a lot of time and procedures to confront the king in person, so Zheng Hao found the inner guard general.Speaking of the General of the Imperial Guard, it is obvious that the king dotes on Youjia, otherwise it is rare for someone who can occupy this position for a long time.The inner guard will be the highest officer in charge of the king's safety. If it is not a person who is deeply trusted by the king, it is impossible to be included in the candidate list.Be careful when choosing, once selected, it will not be easily replaced. "No wonder I stopped you so much. You still insist on becoming a Confucian doctor. You have done a great job. After all, you are a member of our imperial guards, and you can't bury him wherever you go!" The inner guard will be very happy, as if the matter was done by himself, and will report to the king on the spot. "If Chief Inspector Wu Jianhu is involved, maybe he will be suppressed again. Please be sure to report to the king yourself." "Don't worry, Cui Panshu, the old fox, finally showed his tail, and the mental illness I've suppressed for ten years is finally healed." Cui Panshu was thrown into prison, and Wu Jianhu and Park Fuqian were also arrested shortly afterwards.In this matter, Cui Shanggong did not commit any crime, so no measures were taken against her. Zheng Hao made great achievements in finding out the cause of the infectious disease and eradicating corrupt elements, and was soon promoted to the deputy director of the internal hospital.The vice-promoter of the Inner Hospital is concurrently serving as Chengzhi, and Zheng Hao volunteered to work in the Inner Hospital, and His Majesty granted an exceptional approval by decree.Zhenghao was appointed as the deputy Chengzhi, and belonged to the Shangguan of Zhengsanpintang. The so-called hall officials are officials who are qualified to sit in the hall when the king is in charge of government, that is, people who can discuss state affairs with the king at the same table, and can be the chief of the government in terms of seniority and rank. Tong Fu Chengzhi is the last of the six chambers of the Chengzhengyuan, which is in charge of workshop affairs.When the prime minister, judge and other important officials of the imperial court interviewed the king, the six Chengzhi from the Chengzhengyuan could also sit with him. They also participated in various important meetings and were responsible for taking notes.In addition, memorials and edicts were also issued through the Seungjeongwon.Therefore, Chengzhengyuan can be regarded as the king's secretary. Yun Bai was promoted to be the third-rank deputy director of the Dian Medical Supervisor.Jang Geum said that Yunbaek will definitely flee to Jirisan Mountain after hearing the news of the appointment.What pleased Zheng Hao the most was that Jang Geum had resumed his status as a medical woman in the inner hospital, and returned to the palace that he thought about day and night.Although Zhenghao, as the deputy chief of the internal hospital, can do everything possible to support Jang Geum, the most important thing is to let her do what she likes.At the beginning, he forgot all these things and resolutely opposed Jang Geum's entry into the palace. Now he really wants to take back those words. After Jang Geum came back, the first thing he did was to take care of Cui Sanggong, which was really annoying.Before entering Cui Shanggong's residence, Chang Jin heard that Titiao Shanggong called him, so he went to Titiao Shanggong first.Ti Tiao Shang Gong is getting old, and Jang Jin can see the ruthlessness of the years on her face.In the past, she was always trembling with fear when she was promoted to the palace, but now she stands in front of her without fear and righteousness. The reason may not only come from the years. "I'm surprised and happy to see you again." Happy?That sounds really surprising. "I heard that you are in charge of taking care of the most noble palace?" "yes." "You have to pay special attention and take good care of her. Empress Cui Shuyuan experienced a stillbirth, and her brother is like that again, she must be very sad." "I remember." "Although she is the chief culprit who expelled your mother and Han Shanggong from the palace, she cannot forget her duty because of personal grievances." Hearing her mention of her mother, Jang Geum's mind immediately tensed up. The culprit who framed his mother and expelled her from the palace turned out to be Cui Sanggong! Chang Jin was confused and stared blankly at Ti Tiao Shang Gong.Why did she quietly mention this to herself? It was just to involve Cui Shanggong. There is no doubt about it.But Jang Geum didn't understand why Ti Tiao Shang Gong used her, and revealed everything when he was seeing a doctor for Cui Shang Gong, which aggravated her doubts. "Do you understand it?" Ti Tiao Shang Gong stared at Jang Geum's face, urging her to answer.In fact, Jang Geum didn't understand at all, but she still answered "yes" and left.The promotion of Shang Gong did use Chang Jin as a tool to eradicate Cui Shang Gong, but Chang Geum would never have imagined that the ultimate purpose of promoting Shang Gong was to let her replace Lian Sheng, because Lian Sheng refused to accept the favor of the king. No hijab, no waistcoat, even the three-trimmed jade gown and blue skirt were taken off, this Cui Shanggong looked very strange.The vicious eyes that glared at Han Shanggong, the loud voice that trembled in the imperial dining room, all disappeared. Now she is just an ordinary patient, with a sick and sad face. After feeding her the prepared soup, Cui Shanggong still didn't open his eyes.Even if Titiao Shanggong's words are true, Jang Geum doesn't want to harm Cui Shanggong, her wish is not for Cui Shanggong's death, but for her mother and Han Shanggong's innocence, and to confess their grievances to the world. To clarify again, to find out the truth, everything needs the help of Cui Shanggong.Before that day comes, Jang Geum wants to take care of Cui Sanggong's body more than anyone else. There is no wind on the archery field in the back garden, and the archery competition is in progress.The king was very interested in the competition, and personally summoned the civil servants to participate in the competition. Since Taizu, the ancient kings of all dynasties have had a strong interest in archery and rewarded the winners.Under such an atmosphere, even civil servants with a liberal arts background are very good at archery. The current king believes that the character "Yi" in Dongyi is composed of "big" and "bow". China has guns, Japan has swords, and North Korea has bows and arrows. This is the glory of North Korea. Archery can correct twisted postures, relieve pain in the waist, and strengthen the stomach and liver, so the internal hospital strongly urged officials to participate in this sport. The king put the bow bag in his waist and was fully armed. When the bowstring was fully drawn, he remained still, as tall and majestic as Mount Tai.Jang Geum felt the novelty, and stared intently at the king behind the medical officers. Before shooting the arrow, the air was full of tension, and time and breathing seemed to stand still.It is said that all famous archers never look at the target, but just stare at the mid-air, abandoning the desire to hit and all distracting thoughts, and strive to achieve selflessness. The arrow hits the bullseye exactly.The performance team lined up a gorgeous and spectacular lineup, dancing to the music of Guotai Minan. After the king came the new Du Chengzhi.Chief Chengzhi, who was originally an officer of the internal guards, is also the deputy chief of the internal hospital Min Zhenghao's archery skills have almost reached the level of proficiency.The music of Guotai Minan resounded through the arrow field again.The next governor of the central government was too far away, and there was still a long distance from the bull's-eye, and the arrow disappeared into the bushes.同知事面无血色地揉着额头。 “你肯定是走神了。要不然不可能射偏那么多。” 大王说话的语气充满了惊讶。 “昨天夜里没睡好觉，精神不能集中。” 同知事找了个蹩脚的借口为自己开脱，表情更加苍白了。 “是吗？虽然寡人不知道是什么妨碍了同知事睡觉，但是既然让你在比赛中输了，那就非得好好教训教训不可。” 大王满脸笑容，拿年迈的老臣寻开心。同知事的失误似乎很让大王高兴。 “喂！赶快去把同知事的箭找回来！” 尚酝内侍跑到树阴下，突然传来惨烈的尖叫声，大家齐刷刷地把目光投了过去。尚酝内侍抱头鼠蹿，密密麻麻的蜜蜂在他头顶盘旋。 所有的人都不知所措，连连跺脚，内医院的医官们也是光看不动，别说治疗，现在就连驱赶蜜蜂的办法都想不出来。 “医官们都干什么呢？还不快去救尚酝！” 众位医官还在磨蹭，尚酝正抱着脑袋叫苦不迭，无可奈何地忍受着耻辱。这样弄不好还会伤及大王，所以他不能把蜜蜂引过来，实在是进退维谷，左右两难。 医官们只好跑上前去，挥动手臂驱赶蜜蜂，除此之外再也帮不上什么忙了。蜜蜂立刻改变了目标，朝医官们扑来。医官们魂飞魄散，四散逃命。 “应该学布谷鸟叫……” 长今站在远处看着这边的情景，匆忙中突然想起了小时候的事。 “布谷、布谷，你大声叫，蜜蜂就会逃跑了。” 为了安慰被蜜蜂惊吓的长今，父亲这样告诉她。布谷鸟捕食蜜蜂，所以蜜蜂听见布谷鸟的叫声就会慌忙逃跑。 “不要动，低下身子！” 政浩不忍再看，一边走向尚酝内侍，一边不忘了提醒他。 “尽量把身体放低，头也低下。” 尚酝内侍抱着后脑勺低下头去，很快他就趴到了地上。见他半天不动，围绕在他身边的蜜蜂好象也觉得没意思，一个接一个慢吞吞地飞走了。 政浩背起尚酝内侍，将他挪到树阴下。不仅脸颊，所有暴露在外的皮肤都肿得厉害，难看极了。 “我说尚酝，你没事吧？” 大王关切地询问道。 “对不起，大王。” “可是，怎么会弄成这样呢？” “找箭的时候我不小心桶了蜂窝。” “哎呀……医官都在干什么？赶快看看尚酝！” 刚刚逃跑的医官已经回来了，他们只是呆呆地看着，什么作用也发挥不了。医官们什么都没带，何况尚酝的情形十分严重，一时之间实在想不出该从哪里入手。蜜蜂蛰过以后，一般先是红肿、疼痛，同时奇痒难耐，然后才能逐渐消肿。有的人可能产生过敏反应，从而引起哮喘或呼吸困难等，严重的还会导致死亡。 尚酝内侍就属此列，症状是身上起疹子，必须想出办法阻止血压降低。医官们七嘴八舌，只是嚷嚷着拔蜂针。 长今连忙从三色流苏飘带中取出银妆刀，递到政浩手里。 “用刀背把蜂针轻轻推向一边，然后往下一按就可以拔出来了。” 政浩立刻采取措施。长今见状，也跟着走进了树丛。防止蜂毒扩散到全身，最好的办法是冰敷，可是现在根本找不到冰块。长今折断树枝，刮下青苔，借以代替冰块，没有更好的办法，也只好退而求其次了。 政浩迅速拔出了所有的蜂针。尚酝内侍又是高烧又是疼痛，正痛苦地呻吟着。长今把青苔递给政浩，政浩眉毛一皱。 “用这个盖住患处，可以除掉毒热。” "yes?" 政浩面露喜色，伸手接过了青苔。这时，有位医官站出来制止。 “令监！我从来没听说也没见过用青苔去除蜂毒的，希望你慎重考虑。” “是啊，青苔生长于脏水，我也担心会引发炎症。” 既然有医官站出来反对，政浩不便立即动手，只是低头凝视青苔。 长今不想插话，然而现在最重要的就是减轻尚酝内侍的痛苦。 “青苔有降热效果。” “啊嗬，你以为你是谁，这里哪有你说话的份儿？” “依奴婢之见，现在的情况非同寻常，可能是对蜂毒产生了过敏反应，毒液会通过血管迅速扩散，如果不及时采取措施，甚至有生命危险。” “那你打算用青苔做什么？” “青苔可以保护树根或花根免受炎热、寒冷和干燥的侵害，而且它还具有旺盛的生命力，即使在贫瘠的土地或岩石中也能生长。把青苔放在水里煎熬，可以当药材来用，对治疗肝炎、口热、心热、热毒症、黄疸有特殊效果。” “就凭这么点儿微末常识也想开处方？区区医女，你懂什么？” 长今无奈，只好缄口不语，她不想再让政浩为难。 “医女不也接受过严格的医学教育吗？” 大王一直静静地看着两个人争论不休，这时候也站出来说话了。 医官慌忙垂首答道。 "yes." “那她当然也有自己的想法。” "But, Your Highness..." “前不久，医女曾跟随典医监医员郑云白一起，控制住了安城的传染病，因此立功进入内医院。” 政浩打断医官的话，恳切地说。 “是吗？寡人早就听说医女的行为非常了不起，正想这个人到底是谁呢，原来就是你啊，了不起！你救了多少平民百姓的生命啊！” “不敢当！” “尚酝这么痛苦，既然医官们都找不出合适的办法，那就交给医女吧。” 大王令下如山，医官们苦着脸退下了。 政浩动作飞快，把青苔置于尚酝的双颊和额头。长今眼睛盯紧政浩的动作，脸却涨得通红，心也扑通扑通跳个不停。万民之主的大王竟然亲自听取区区医女的意见，还为她创造了机会。真不愧为建立医女制度框架的成宗大王之子，就是他下令禁止医女参加宴会。 为尚酝做完急救措施后，刚才中断的射箭比赛又开始了。长今回到先前的位置，站在医官们的身后，几乎没有人看得见她。 吏曹判书正挽弓如满月，跃跃欲试。大王好象已经没了兴致，表情淡然，百无聊赖之余他在人群中扫视一圈，却突然看见了长今，脸上又漾起了生机。长今没有察觉，依旧站在那里努力压抑自己的激动心情。 听说淑仪洪氏有了胎气，长今前去给她把脉，主管妊娠的任脉果然十分活跃。 "My lady, congratulations!" 紧张得屏息静气的淑仪这才抬起头来，仿佛马上就要哭出来了，连忙拉住了长今的手。 “好，谢谢你！” “我又没做什么，娘娘您为什么这么说？” “哎呀，要是没有你，我哪能盼到今天这好日子？” “您要把全副心思和精力都放到胎教上，根据不同的时期和季节，食用既能加强营养又能陶冶情操的食物。” “哦，是吗？那应该吃什么好呢？我不管有什么事，你让我吃什么我都会吃。” “比如以青豆做馅的松糕，或者海参、鲍鱼共同调制的竹笋，对胎儿的大脑发育很有好处。芜菁粥可以增进娘娘的元气，因为芜菁具有利脏、轻身和提气的功能，用芜菁做小菜，食用后可以减轻害喜反应。石锅做的萝卜牡蛎饭有助于补气、宁神。还有去除眼球之后煲出的鲤鱼汤，或者在去除内脏的鲫鱼腹中填入鲍鱼、石耳、海参和松子，然后用黄土烧烤后食用，可以促进乳汁分泌。阴历八月的鲫鱼和十二月至三月间鲤鱼最好，鲤鱼绝对不能与白糖、锦葵、大蒜一起料理，一定要格外留意。至于零食，则可以选择蜂蜜调制的蜜煎竹笋、油蜜饼，以及糖稀做成的琥珀豆、黑芝麻花生，还有糯米酒，等等。” “好的，我知道了。只要对胎儿有好处，就是虫子我也敢吃。不过我有个要求，你能答应吗？” “请娘娘吩咐！” “我想吃你亲手做的胎教食物。” 长今大惊失色，差点没喘过气来，她早已下定决心再也不做料理了。 “也许是怀孕的缘故，最近我的嘴里总是干巴巴的，也没有胃口。长今你不是在最高尚宫比赛中取胜了吗？除了你还有谁能做出有利于胎儿的食物啊？” 长今心里不愿意，但这不是别人，而是淑仪在恳求自己。 “我听从娘娘的吩咐。” 走出淑仪的房间，长今在门前遇到了淑媛崔氏。意外的相遇让崔淑媛显得有些慌张，眼神中充满了不安。 “娘娘，淑媛娘娘来了。” 侍女尚宫的声音帮长今摆脱了尴尬的处境。 “快请进！” 长今深鞠一躬，赶紧离开了。 “长今啊，那天我听说你来过了，我赶紧跑出去，可是你已经走了。那天晚上，你不知道我哭成什么样子了。” 连生一把鼻涕一把泪地说，这话她已经重复三遍了。她紧紧抓着长今的手，不愿放开。长今借机会来看看连生，顺便到御膳房给淑仪做芜菁粥。 崔尚宫还不能起身，所以不需要看谁的脸色。 “那天我没见到你，也不愿意走。听说你整夜都没回住处，你不知道我有多么担心……是提调尚宫嬷嬷叫你的吗？” “别提了。哎呀，她让我化妆，然后让我到大殿送御膳。你不知道我有多紧张……” “提调尚宫让你这样做？” "yes." 无需继续追问，长今也能猜个八九不离十了。提调尚宫想让连生蒙受大王圣恩，借以牵制崔尚宫。 “然后呢？怎么样了？” “殿下好象有什么不痛快的事，只是不停地喝酒。我的腿都站麻了，还是不能动，只能给大王斟酒。天快亮的时候，大王终于倒下了。我当时觉得自己好幸运啊……” “后来没再发生什么事情吗？” “这可怎么办呢，走也不是，躺也不是，我急得就像热锅上的蚂蚁，最后还是逃了出来。我困得受不了，可我又不能在大王的房间里睡觉。” “既然逃出来了，为什么整夜不回住处啊？” “我刚出来，又被提调尚宫抓回去了。” "how so!" “她连哄带骗要我进去，我又哭又闹地恳求她。” "what do you say?" “我说里边太可怕了，我不想去。殿下很可怕。” “所以她就放你走了？” “别提了，她把我关进了仓库，你走之前，她才把我放出来。” 回想当天噩梦般的一幕，连生还是冷战不停。提调尚宫为什么要把母亲的事情泄露出来，肯定也是出于同样的原由。也许她已经断定就算再找机会让连生接近大王，天真无邪的连生也只会后退，不能如她所愿。说不定她已经把方向掉转到长今身上，因为她怀有深仇大恨。 “很好，没什么事就好。” 长今真心感觉这是连生的幸运。万一蒙受圣恩，就会立刻变成崔家的眼中钉。连生太脆弱、太善良，承受不了漫长而冷酷的生活。 “长今啊，我前两天特意在磨石上磨了磨，准备交给你的。没想到这么快就用上了。” 正是那把刀。长今看着这把刀，泪水模糊了双眼，再也说不出话来。 “这是我最亲密的朋友用过的刀，她遭人陷害，被驱逐出宫了。” 这是母亲曾经用过的刀，韩尚宫保存了很长时间。母亲就是用这把刀切菜做饭，同时做着最高尚宫的梦。每当韩尚宫拿出这把刀来，她会想到什么呢。怀念委屈出宫的朋友，说不定她也在擦拭着向崔尚宫复仇的刀刃。想到这里，长今摇了摇头，韩尚宫不是那种一心复仇任凭岁月虚度的人。她所有的精力一定都用于积累实力，争取成为最高尚宫，实现自己和朋友共同的梦想。 长今从连生手里接过刀来。当她还不知道自己就是她朋友的女儿，韩尚宫就痛快地把刀送给自己。第一次接过这把刀时，长今曾经想过，这刀凝结着韩尚宫和她的朋友的愿望，加上自己，总共是三个人的夙愿。无需多言，只在不经意间，一切都真相大白了。 长今擦干眼泪，握住了刀柄。芜菁煮过后晾干，再煮，再晾干，需要反复三次，所以不能立刻做完。三煮三晾的芜菁磨成粉末，放入米中熬成粥。芜菁叶子榨成汁，可以和粥拌在一起吃。 等待芜菁晾干的时候，长今把银非叫到御膳房，并把她介绍给御膳房的人。闵尚宫、昌伊、连生和银非全都坐在一起，感觉就像美梦一场。长今很久都没有这样愉快地说笑了，她的脸上绽开了灿烂的笑容。
