32. The Seventeenth Prince
Yuan Chun was eating snacks, and a eunuch came to report tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the seventeenth prince asks to see you." ”
"Seventeen?" Emperor Longzheng wondered in his heart: What is he doing here? Did you hear the wind? Hehe, his news is not closed.
See? Or is it missing?
The seventeenth prince Shui Xiao (1), thirteen years old this year, has been ill for thirteen years. The people from the Tai Hospital said: I am afraid that His Highness Seventeen will not survive this winter. What is the matter with him coming to see at this time, how could Emperor Longzheng not understand? If you can't see it, in fact, you don't allow Yuan Chun to go to diagnose and treat Shui Xiao.
If it weren't for that incident that made Emperor Longzheng too taboo, as soon as Yuan Chun was canonized, he would have sent this Jia Shang doctor to diagnose and treat Shui Xiao. But because of that incident, he really didn't want Shui Xiao to come into contact with Jia Yuanchun.
What to do? Since the people in the Tai Hospital have already said that Seventeen will not survive this winter, then his only chance of life is in this Jia Shangyi. If he is not allowed, it will undoubtedly cut off his way of life......
Emperor Longzheng hesitated for a long time, but after all, he couldn't bear to cut off Shui Xiao's last life.
He sighed, "Let him in!" ”
When Yuan Chun heard the eunuch's report, he put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea and washed the residue of dim sum in his mouth, and looked at Emperor Longzheng with some curiosity. The seventeenth prince asks to see, will the emperor see it?
The seventeenth prince Shui Xiao, Yuan Chun once heard Dai Shan mention it.
This prince is the youngest prince of His Majesty. It is said that his body was extremely weak, and he had been bedridden for many years since birth, and Jia Daishan had neither seen him nor heard of him. If it weren't for the fact that the palace had never held a funeral for the seventeenth prince, Jia Daishan wouldn't have felt that the seventeenth prince was still alive.
When Yuan Chun heard these news at that time, he guessed that the seventeenth prince probably had some kind of congenital disease, such as some congenital malformation or disability.
She hoped that the deformity or disability of the seventeenth prince was not very strict.
With the medical conditions of this era, congenital heart disease was incurable, and she did not dare to do some serious corrective surgeries. If it is this kind of disease, then this Seventeenth Highness will be the first patient in his hands who cannot be saved.
However, this seventeenth highness can survive until the age of thirteen and still doesn't die, even if he has a birth defect, it shouldn't be very strict, right?
When Yuan Chun's thoughts were flying, he saw several eunuchs carrying a soft couch and walking over slowly.
The person on the couch was half-seated and half-lying, tightly wrapped in a quilt, and only one head was exposed. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, the weather is still hot, how weak and afraid of the cold must be in this dress?
The man showed his head outside the quilt...... Yuan Chun felt that it was more appropriate to say that it was not so much a living human head as a skull. His eyes were blue and black, and he cut deeply; The face is white with blue, green with gray, and there is no trace of the face of a living person at all, and he is so thin that he is skinny. His lips were pale and seemed to be trembling slightly......
This dead look is more like a ghost than a human!
Yuan Chun subconsciously swept it with the medical system, and then was a little stupid.
"The disease of yin decay into the bones and separation of the soul and body"? This, this, this...... What the hell is this?
My mind automatically began to search for the content of "Nine Volumes of Heavenly Medicine", and finally found the relevant record in the "Strange Illness Chapter" of "Internal Medicine": "...... If the patient's soul has been separated from the body for more than two hours, and then the soul is returned by chance, the disease occurs. After Gayin's soul leaves the body, the yin qi and rotten qi gradually enter the body, and after about two hours, the yin qi and rotten qi penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and it is difficult to get rid of it. If the soul is restored at this time, it will be difficult for the soul to merge with the body, and it will suffer from this disease......"
Yuan Chun was in a daze: Could it be that I have worn a supernatural plane? This is obviously the world of Red Mansions!
She immediately remembered that in the original book, Ma Daopo colluded with Aunt Zhao to murder Baoyu and Wang Xifeng with the technique of the Five Ghost Nightmare Town.
That time, if it weren't for the leper monk and the lame Taoist who rushed to the rescue, Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng would really be dead, and Aunt Zhao and Ma Daopo would really succeed!
Just one Ma Dao Po can harm people with the art of Nightmare Town! In this world, how many high-ranking monks and high-ranking Taoists are truly powerful?
It seems that the world of the Red Chamber is a supernatural plane!
The good news is that according to the records of the Nine Volumes of Shangyi, this kind of disease that is haunted by yin and evil can be cured by the method of sun bathing, and there is no need for monks and Taoists to exorcise evil spirits.
She thought worriedly: The Salvation Lotus Platform that is said to be able to "protect against disasters and save lives" is still on me, right? Unfortunately, this seems to be a hidden passive skill, and I can't really feel its effect and power.
In the blink of an eye, she looked at the Seventeenth Prince in amazement, and her mind began to think about what was wrong.
Since this prince once had his soul out of his body and returned to his soul, would he ...... Also traversed? Or is it born-again? Or is it a ghost? Is the soul that came back still the same soul that was originally returned?
The eunuchs put down the soft couch, and the two eunuchs were going to help the seventeenth prince get up to salute.
Emperor Longzheng hurriedly stopped: "You are still sick, just lie down!" He hadn't seen this son for several years, and when he saw him like this, he was shocked and his heart softened.
"Thank you, Father!" Shui Xiao trembled his lips and thanked him. The voice was very weak.
"You came here, but you want to ask Dr. Jia Shang to treat you?" Emperor Longzheng asked.
I pondered in my heart: Since Seventeen has come, I can't bear to cut him off, so it's better to let Jia Yuanchun understand the diagnosis! It also saves me from always having a pimple in my heart.
"Yes! Ask your father to fulfill and save your son's life! His voice was so weak that it seemed to break at any moment.
Emperor Longzheng smiled faintly, of course he would not admit that he had no intention of letting Jia Yuanchun treat him, but said, "You are too anxious." Doctor Jia Shang entered the palace the day before yesterday, and I only had time to see her today. I was going to ask her to treat you after I saw her, but you came here by yourself...... Can you get sunburned? ”
Shui Xiao lay on the soft couch, raised his head slightly, and said, "Please forgive my father...... Erchen is really sick and bitter, and he really doesn't want to wait. He gasped twice, and then said with difficulty, "Doctor Ruojiashan...... I can't save my sons. Erchen ...... It's better to break it sooner! ”
He was lying on the couch, unable to lift his head. With a layer of dead gray eyes, he stared at Yuan Chun without blinking, and his eyes were full of pleading.
"Doctor Jia Shang, please take a look, Seventeen can still be saved?" Emperor Longzheng did not wait for Yuan Chun to have a chance to intercede, and directly agreed to the request of the seventeenth prince.
He thought to himself: Since Jia Yuanchun said that the fairy has a life, he must be "merciful, and if he can save it, he will save it", then when he sees Seventeen like this, he will not sit idly by. Why wait for her to open her mouth, and earn a favor of intercession from Seventeen in addition to the grace of saving her life? He also looks like he is hard-hearted.
"Yes!" Yuan Chun bowed slightly to Emperor Longzheng and walked towards Shui Xiao.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old palace maid beside Shui Xiao, dressed in a long envoy's costume, was overjoyed, and hurriedly took Shui Xiao's wrist out of the quilt. After thinking about it, he took out his handkerchief again, put it on Shui Xiao's wrist, and then looked at Yuan Chun with earnest eyes.
Yuan Chun walked to the soft couch, put his fingers on Shui Xiao's wrist through the handkerchief.
Even through a handkerchief, Yuan Chun could feel the chill coming from his wrist under his fingers. It was as if it was not a human body, but a thousand-year-old piece of ice.
She checked Shui Xiao's pulse, stood up and said to the emperor, "Your Highness, this disease is not difficult to treat. It's just that His Highness has been sick for too long, and it will take some time to heal. ”
Curable?! In Shui Xiao's eyes, tears flashed in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, tears flowed out and slid over his skeletal face.
Curable?! The palace maid beside Shui Xiao cried with joy, tears flowed profusely, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Curable?! Emperor Longzheng said in his heart: How many times are the medical skills taught by the gods better than the medical skills of the present world? The hospital was helpless, and she directly said "It's not difficult to treat", and she didn't even say such cautious and modest words as "ministers can try"!
"What is Seventeen's disease?" Emperor Longzheng asked. The hospital didn't have an exact statement about this, and since Jia Yuanchun said that it could be treated, he must have understood the cause?
Yuan Chun hesitated a little: This disease is a bit bizarre, there are many people here, if you say it in public, I don't know what impact it will have on this seventeenth highness. The condition is personal**, so it is too disrespectful to leak it in public.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness's illness, Rong Chen will pay attention later." The seventeenth highness is really sick with a serious illness, and the sooner he is cured, the less his highness will suffer a moment of sin. He also asked the emperor to allow the ministers to retire and go to dispense medicine for His Royal Highness. ”
Emperor Longzheng looked at her and knew that she was unwilling to explain Seventeen's illness in public.
His heart tightened, restrained the uneasiness in his heart, and smiled: "Then you go!" Seventeen, go back too! I'll come back to see you in the afternoon. ”
Yuan Chun retired with Shui Xiao. Although she was curious about the emperor's imperial food, she remembered such a strange patient as the seventeenth prince, and she was afraid that it would not taste good to eat.
