I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 229 Notification

"The Queen Mother didn't ask us to avoid Lord Wu.

However, we found seaweed and licorice in the Queen's incense, rouge, and food. "Xu Qingyi glanced at Wu Chen and said tentatively.

"What, this is impossible?" Upon hearing this, Wu Chen stood up excitedly.

"Sir Wu, you are so excited, what do you know?" Xu Qingyi did not expect Wu Chen to be so excited after hearing this.

Wu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He sat down again and looked at Xu Qingyi and said, "What could I know? If I had known earlier, I would have let the Queen take these two herbs at the same time."

Wu Chen's expression suddenly became solemn. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xu Qingyi: "Doctor Xu, how did you discover these two herbs? And why are you sure that using these two herbs together will make people weak?"

After hearing this, Wu Chen frowned. He understood that this matter was not simple. He had always been responsible for the Queen's health. They had never added seaweed and licorice to the Queen's medicine. So how did these two herbs appear in the Queen's daily necessities? Was there any conspiracy behind this?

However, using seaweed and licorice together will produce drug interactions, which will affect the body's absorption and utilization, and may even produce some adverse reactions, causing the kidneys to gradually fail and the body to become weak.

However, licorice and seaweed cannot be used together, and less than ten people know about it. Who is secretly trying to harm the Queen, or is this a coincidence?

"Qingyi and I like to tinker with and study the interactions between two medicinal herbs, hoping to discover some new effects and therapeutic effects.

We always firmly believe that there must be undiscovered secrets among plants and trees. As long as we explore them carefully, we will always find their unique therapeutic effects.

On the contrary, by accident, it was discovered that using seaweed and licorice together in a prescription can cause kidney toxicity and harm to people.

In this process, Qingyi and I also gained a lot. We not only increased our knowledge, but also exercised our patience and perseverance. "Bai Yan explained.

"I see. When you studied the interactions between medicinal herbs, did you encounter any toxic side effects when other herbs were used together? Or have you made any other discoveries?" Wu Chen became a little anxious when he asked this question.

It seemed as if he wanted to know something from Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

"That's not available yet. Lord Wu, are you also studying these?" When Bai Yan was about to say something, Xu Qingyi grabbed his hand.

"Okay! I already know about this.

Don't spread this matter out, pretend you don't know." After Wu Chen gave the instructions, he pinched his brows and waved his hand, signaling Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to go down.

Xu Qingyi looked at Wu Chen's back, feeling somewhat puzzled. Wu Chen's attitude seemed a little too eager, as if he was looking for something.

However, despite her doubts, Xu Qingyi did not ask any more questions. She knew that Wu Chen, as an elder, must have his own considerations. After she and Bai Yan bowed respectfully, they left the room together.

Back at the pharmacy, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Bai Yan couldn't help but ask, "Qingyi, do you think that Lord Wu suddenly asked about the interaction between medicinal materials? Is there any special intention?"

Xu Qingyi shook his head and said after thinking for a moment, "I don't know either. However, since Lord Wu didn't say it clearly, we can't ask too much. Perhaps he is looking for a specific combination of medicinal herbs to treat some difficult-to-cure disease."

Bai Yan nodded, agreeing with Xu Qingyi's opinion.

"Qingyi, Baiyan, I heard that you went to see the Queen today?" At this time, Wu Shang came over and asked Xu Qingyi and Baiyan with envy on his face.

They entered the palace as officials on the same day, one holding the ninth rank and the other two holding the sixth rank. Not only was there a huge difference between them, but now both Qingyi and Baiyan were being treated by the Empress, and they were also doing miscellaneous work in the Imperial Hospital.

"Hey! How come he is also on duty in the Imperial Hospital?" At this time, a man came towards them. After seeing that it was an old acquaintance of Xu Qingyi, Xu Qingyi frowned slightly and asked Wu Shang.

However, this person was Cui Liang.

When Cui Liang passed by Xu Qingyi, he glanced at Xu Qingyi and revealed a somewhat intriguing look. The corners of his mouth stretched silently, as if he was laughing silently.

“It’s easier to get things done if you have someone in the court as an official.

The highest-ranking official in the Imperial Hospital was Cui Liang's grandfather Cui Shan. It would be an easy matter to find an opportunity and make an excuse to arrange for Cui Liang, a ninth-rank official, to serve in the palace.

Qingyi, if you have offended Cui Liang before, you must be careful in the Imperial Hospital in the future.

Cui Liang is a narrow-minded person who will take revenge for any slight. Be careful of him plotting against you." Wu Shang looked at Cui Liang's departing back and warned Xu Qingyi.

"I'll pay attention." A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. Find an opportunity and kill Cui Liang directly.

.........

On the other side, in the room where Wu Chen was, after Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan left, Wu Chen sat on a chair with his eyes closed, frowned, and began to think.

I don’t know what happened afterwards, but he just stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

Then, he opened the door and walked directly towards the room where Cuishan worked.

After knocking on the door and pushing open the door of Cuishan's office, he wanted to close the door directly, but saw Cuiliang was also in the room.

"When you and grandson have finished talking, Cui Liang, you go first. I have something important to tell you, Lord Cui." When Wu Chen saw Cui Liang wearing the official uniform of a ninth-rank medical officer, a mocking look appeared on his face. Cui Shan was opening a back door for his grandson and he was arranged to be on duty at the Imperial Hospital.

Upon hearing this, Cui Liang looked at Wu Chen in confusion, then looked at his grandfather Cui Shan. Seeing him nod slightly, he bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Wu, I will take my leave."

After saying that, Cui Liang turned around and left the room, closing the door, leaving Wu Chen and Cui Shan alone.

Wu Chen walked to Cui Shan's desk and sat directly on the chair opposite.

"Looking at your expression, it seems like there's something urgent?" Cui Shan asked slowly after pouring Wu Chen a cup of tea.

On the contrary, Wu Chen, who was originally worried, calmed down slowly after arriving at Cuishan's office. He took the tea poured by Cuishan and drank it slowly.
