Nanchang Wang looked at Gu Jing in confusion.

  "Man has seven emotions and six desires; when the emotions and will are injured, man is injured."

  Wang of Nanchang was even more perplexed.

  He looked at Gu Jinzhi.

  "Does the king know what jealousy is?" asked Gu Jinzhi.

  Wang of Nanchang suddenly understood something and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Jealousy encompasses many emotions. Some people become enraged because of it; some are fearful; some are anxious and panicked; while others become self-pitying, sorrowful and melancholic. The queen's illness is entirely due to her being distressed by jealousy." said Gu Jin.

  Wang's face turned even uglier.

  His wife was jealous by nature, which made him lose face.

  He remained silent.

  It was a long time before he said, "A pack of nonsense! Ordinary people often worry and think, why don't they have hoarse voices?"

  "Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Jin said, "I've told the king before that the queen's illness is strange. A hoarse voice must be due to coldness, but the queen's body has internal heat. The 'Huangdi Neijing' says, 'Anger damages the liver, joy damages the heart, sorrow damages the lungs'... This isn't something I made up."

  Wang's face slightly relaxed.

  Gu Jinzhi explained his background, and he believed it a bit more.

  It's still hard to believe that a person like the princess, who is usually gentle and virtuous, would become so distressed due to jealousy.

  Nanchang Wang never knew she had this side.

  He always thought the princess was like a wooden person, without any warmth from head to toe. It's been that way since they got married.

  She listened indifferently, without a hint of reaction, no matter what romantic words were said to her.

  Nanchang Wang heard that she had been worshiping Bodhisattva since childhood, a devout woman. Nanchang Wang thought that the queen's heart was numb and had long given herself to the mud-made Guanyin Bodhisattva! She regarded husband-wife relationships as dirt, with only King Wang and hierarchy in her eyes, without a husband.

  Now hearing Gu Jinzhi say that Wang Fei was sad because of jealousy, the King of Nanchang couldn't express what he felt...

  He somehow felt an inexplicable joy.

  Then I felt this mood was unthinkable and hurriedly put it away.

  "Sorrowful lungs..." King of Nanchang muttered to himself. "It's still the lungs that have been damaged. Where did this heat evil come from, and how can you say it can't be treated?"

  "The Interior Classic says that when one is sad, the qi is reversed and depressed, so the upper burner is not open and the nutritive and defensive qi are not dispersed. The hot evil and the qi being confined in the burner for a long time will damage the lungs! To cure the queen's illness, we must first resolve this sadness, make the qi smooth and unobstructed, and then use medicine to disperse the hot evil from the burner. Only after that can I use Xiao Qing Long Tang to treat her hoarseness, and she will recover."

  Nanchang Wang nodded.

  "Just treat it like this!"

  Gu Jin couldn't help but glance at him.

  "Worry is a kind of emotional state, as mentioned in the Inner Canon. 'Joy overcomes worry.' " Gu Jin said, "The queen's worries are nothing but the occasional laughter and whispers coming from the east wing, where the king and Concubine are. As long as this root cause remains, her sorrow will not cease. One must first stop the sadness before letting her turn sorrow into joy; that is the fundamental solution. This is no longer something a doctor can do, it's the king's family matter, how dare I interfere? That's why I said earlier, it cannot be cured!"

  Wang's face sank even lower.

  For quite a while, he didn't say anything.

  Gu Jinzhi didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing that the silence had gone on for a bit too long, he said: "I'll first write a prescription to clear heat and dampness, and then prescribe a small amount of Qinglong decoction. Once her emotional distress is alleviated, let the princess take it, and her illness will naturally be cured."

  Nanchang Wang still did not speak.

  Gu Jinzhi finished speaking, and he also didn't shout for someone to bring over pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

  After a moment, King Nanchang suddenly stood up and walked into the inner room.

  Gu Jin did not know what it meant, thought for a moment, and still followed him in.

  As soon as she entered the inner room, she heard Nanchang Wang say to the queen: “... you belong to the tiger, she belongs to the dragon, both are fierce creatures. She just happened to suppress you by a head, which is why she collided with you! Your illness is all because of this evil spirit. If she doesn't leave, your body won't get better. Everything in this mansion is taken care of by you, so send her back to Nanchang. When we return to the Nanchang Mansion in the future, we can make other arrangements for her, what do you think?

  Gu Jinzhi heard this and saw that the princess was not paying attention to her, so she quietly slipped out.

  She worries too much.

  For King Nanchang, the status of his legitimate wife was far higher than that of his concubine. No matter how much he favored his concubine, he would not take the life of his queen for her sake.

  This is the normal psychology of men in this era.

  Gu Jin found the senior maid who was beside Wang Fei and asked her to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

  She opened the prescription.

  The sky outside is pitch black, and it's just time for the night watch; it's already the hour of xu.

  It's still early, Gu Jinzhi said to the maid: "You take this, and show it to Wang Ye later. I've written down clearly how to decoct the medicine, take the medicine, and what to avoid eating."

  Then found Zhu Zhongjun, went back and forth.

  The maid hastily said: "Miss Gu won't bid farewell to His Highness and Her Highness?"

  "No." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's getting late. When the princess is a bit better, if she needs to be re-examined, have someone tell me to go."

  That maid still wanted to stay, but Gu Jinzhi just smiled and said: "The princess and the prince are talking in the inner chamber, don't disturb them either..."

  The maid knew she couldn't persuade them, so she had no choice but to see off Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun.

  When they arrived at the entrance of the Vertical Flower Gate, the Gu family's carriage was already parked there.

  Gu Jinzhi got on the horse-drawn carriage and returned home with Zhu Zhongjun.

  Song Pan'er and Gu Yanjun had just finished eating, were about to send Hui Ge'r and Xiu Ge'r to rest, when Gu Jing returned.

  Song Pan'er hastily asked: "Why are you back now? Didn't you say you were going to stay there overnight and visit Princess Wang's illness?"

  "I've figured it out." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Mother, I haven't had dinner yet. Is there anything left?"

  Song Pan'er was taken aback and then said displeased: "How can you see a doctor without even giving me food to eat?"

  She hastily called Mu Qing and asked her to go to the kitchen to see if there was any dish that Gu Jingzhou liked to eat, and bring a bowl over.

  She then asked Zhu Zhongjun: "Has the king eaten?"

  "I've eaten."

  Song Pan'er's face changed again.

  The king ate, but Single Jade sister didn't eat...

  Gu Jin quickly explained the situation to her mother: "I wanted to talk to the queen alone, and it was almost time for dinner. So I let the king go out and rest for a while. Then, I suddenly asked about his illness and talked to him again. After that, the king didn't even think about keeping me for dinner anymore. Since it was still early, I came back first."

  Song Pan'er's face finally improved slightly.

  The rice was served, and Gu Jingzhou slowly ate it.

  After she finished eating, Gu Yanjin and Song Pan'er both asked her: "What is the Wangfei's illness after all?"

  "It's a heart disease." Gu Jin said, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon says that anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, sorrow hurts the lungs, thinking hurts the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys. At the time, I was diagnosing her illness, but I didn't think she had a heart disease either. I always felt that her pulse and symptoms didn't match up, and thought it might be some kind of hidden disease. Later, when I saw that the east wing of the main courtyard was where Wang Ye's concubine lived, and they were laughing and chatting together, but also within earshot of the main house... The princess may believe in Buddhism, but she's still young after all. She hasn't reached the point of renouncing worldly desires through spiritual practice. Her heart is filled with jealousy, worry, and sorrow, but she doesn't dare to reveal even a hint of it. Over time, this has naturally led to illness..."

  Song Pan'er and Gu Yanwen were both stunned.

  Zhu Zhongjun then thought of "Fan Jin's Imperial Examination".

  Fan Jin wasn't confused because of joy, was he? It's clear that "joy hurts the heart" is also reliable.

  "How can this be cured?" Song Tuan'er asked curiously.

  She had also heard that when someone has something on their mind, they would feel uncomfortable, but she didn't think Princess Nanchang was in such a serious state.

  She was very curious about the treatment method.

  "Fear overcomes joy, joy overcomes worry, sorrow overcomes anger, anger overcomes thought, thought overcomes fear..." Gu Jin smiled and said, "Joy can cure sadness. As long as the King of Nanchang is willing to move his concubine out of the way, not to offend the queen's eyes, her illness will be 60% cured. I just heard the king say that he wants to send the concubine back to the Nanchang Mansion. The queen's illness, I'm afraid it will be 80% cured. After taking the medicine, she will naturally recover."

  Gu Yan heard this and wanted to say something, but after glancing at Song Duan'er, he didn't dare speak.

  He probably thought it was a good idea to pretend to be a virtuous woman and forced himself into that kind of situation, which is quite an unusual story.

  It's better to be like Song Daner, gaining a reputation for being jealous and living freely.

  After dinner and some conversation, Gu Jinzhi stood up and bid farewell.

  Zhu Zhongjun insisted on sending her away.

  She sent Zhu Zhongjun to Ermen.

  "I recall the Buddha's words: 'From love comes worry, from love comes fear...' Can this sentence explain Princess Nanchang's illness?" Zhu Zhongjun asked her, "If she didn't love King Nanchang, she wouldn't have fallen ill to that extent, would she?"

  A tinge of sadness suddenly rose in Gu Jin's heart.

  She didn't think so deeply.

  Or she is more rational when it comes to emotions.

  When she heard Zhu Zhongjun say this, her heart suddenly felt very sad.

  She is pitiful, Princess of Nanchang.

  "Yes." Gu Jin said, "Poor woman..."

  Two days later, Nanchang Wangfu invited Gu Jin to go for a re-examination.

  The Princess of Nanchang can speak now.

  The door of the east wing has been locked again.

  "Thank you, Miss Gu." The queen's voice was still a bit hoarse, but she could speak now, thanking Gu Jin.

  "No need to thank me." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "From now on, you should also take good care of yourself and not worry too much about things..."

  Zhu Zhongjun saw Wang Nan Chang standing beside him with no expression on his face.

  Although the queen had recovered from her illness, there was a hint of anxiety between her eyebrows.

  She was afraid that outsiders would know about her illness and mock her for pretending to be virtuous. Or was she afraid that King Nanchang would reluctantly send away Concubine Gong, and resent her for being troublesome?

  Zhu Zhongjun thought of that verse again.

  He loudly said to Princess Nanchang, "Xiao Qi said, 'From love comes worry, from love comes fear. If one is separated from love, there will be no worry and no fear.' Second sister is a good person, she just got sick!"

  Fools have their advantages too.

  A fool can say things that others cannot bring themselves to mention.

  Gu Jin couldn't help but glance at Zhu Zhongjun and smiled to herself.

  But these words made Nanchang Wang's expression pause, and he stood there in a daze.

  The princess seemed as if some great secret in her heart had been discovered by someone, and for a moment she was flustered, her face turned red, and tears were about to fall.

  They won't think Zhu Zhongjun did it on purpose.

  The speaker has no intention but the listener has a purpose.

  Looking at the awkward and embarrassed expression of the princess, King Nanchang knew that Zhu Zhongjun's words had spoken her mind.

  "Born of love, born of sorrow..." His heart suddenly surged with huge waves.

  It turns out...
