Chapter 254: The Prince's Illness
Summer turns to autumn, and autumn is strong.
Thirty-six years of Jiayuan.
Du Xiaoxi's roasted sweet potatoes sold last winter were so successful that this year, many ranches and Zhuangzi bought seedlings after harvesting the first crop of pasture grass and planted this sweet potato, which is said to have a high yield.
In the two months of sweet potato planting, the people also discovered that sweet potatoes can not only be eaten from the roots, but also from the leaves and vines as vegetables, and poultry and cattle and sheep are also extremely popular, which is a good kind of feed.
Now the autumn breeze is rising, and the sweet potatoes are ripe. The yield is higher than that of sorghum buds, and the soft and sweet taste is very pleasant. The fields are filled with the joy of a good harvest.
Du Xiaoxi instructed Hao Zhuangzi to dig a deep cellar to store sweet potatoes, and sat by the window and couldn't help sighing.
A few days ago, the master who traveled in the world came back, and it is said that he went to the Beihai Sea, the northernmost part of the Great Shang, to see the vast Beihai, the beautiful auroras, and the snow. By the way, Du Xiaoxi brought back a lot of local specialties, as well as a box of the best North Pearls sent by local officials.
Du Xiaoxi was originally very happy, but he was not happy for two days, and he was only frightened.
It's all because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sick!
With the status of the crown prince in the heart of Emperor Jiayuan, it can be imagined what the situation in the court is now, from the news of the prince's serious illness a few days ago, the whole of Beijing is uneasy.
The master who went out to travel will not come back sooner or later, and when he comes back at this time, Du Xiaoxi can imagine that the Dao Emperor will definitely not let him go.
Du Xiaoxi thought well, and before Du Xiaoxi could finish worrying, the gate of the Liu family was knocked open by a team of forbidden soldiers.
"Young lady! Someone is in the palace! Declare you into the palace! ”
The porter ran all the way in and stood in the doorway shouting.
Du Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and then said outside: "There is also Master Xile with him, and the master is already in the car!" ”
As soon as Du Xiaoxi got off the soft couch, a group of people opened the curtain and entered, led by the slightly emaciated and white-faced public who faced Du Xiaoxi's blessing hand, and said in a sharp voice: "Mrs. Liu's Da'an, I have heard that Mrs. Liu's medical skills have been passed on by Master Xile, His Royal Highness the Prince has been ill for more than a month, and His Majesty has sent a decree to invite you and Master Xile to enter the palace." ”
Du Xiaoxi forced his face and smiled: "Please wait a moment, let the little woman change her clothes." ”
Seeing that the father-in-law who spoke nodded and took the initiative to retreat, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly beckoned Daylily to find clothes.
Du Xiaoxi hurriedly changed his clothes and couldn't help but complain in his heart, isn't it all about people on TV who are ready to prepare the incense case and clean it, and the whole family has changed into formal clothes and has gathered the decree of his father-in-law's unique style? Why did she come to her house, and this person didn't even run to the backyard when he was preparing for it.
Du Xiaoxi was changing clothes, and the eldest aunt who got the news hurried over, and the old lady was holding Xiao Prosperity in the house and didn't know what to do.
"Don't be afraid, I heard that the master is also here, but when you get to the palace, you have to listen to your master's words, don't come out! Take care of yourself! ”
The eldest aunt ran in with a sweaty face and instructed Du Xiaoxi again and again.
The news of the prince's illness has spread all over Kyoto, and now that the news has come out, Emperor Jiayuan also has a tacit attitude, which largely shows that the prince may be very sick. At least the imperial physician in the palace is likely to be powerless.
Just one day after Master Xile returned to Beijing, Emperor Jiayuan invited someone into the palace, which shows that he couldn't wait. With the emperor's degree of treasure to the crown prince, if Master Joy is powerless, he doesn't know what will happen. Du Xiaoxi, an apprentice, didn't know if he would be angry.
Du Xiaoxi nodded again and again, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, auntie, my master and brother are here, and it will be fine." You and grandma take care of Prosperity at home, wait for Brother Xiaotu to come back and tell him not to worry, I'll be back soon. ”
The eldest aunt heard Du Xiaoxi mention the Nine Emperor Princes and nodded, "Yes!" The Nine Emperor Princes will definitely be fine! ”
"Mrs. Liu's time is urgent, please hurry!" Without waiting for the two of them to say anything more, the public standing in the courtyard and waiting directly urged loudly.
Du Xiaoxi didn't dare to delay, and directly opened the door and dressed up and walked out of the room.
"I'm tired of you, you can go!" Du Xiaoxi said apologetically to her husband, who nodded expressionlessly and took the lead towards the gate.
The footsteps of several eunuchs were in a hurry, and Du Xiaoxi trotted to follow.
At the gate, the carriage was ready, and the stools for boarding the carriage had been set up. Several fathers-in-law turned over and got on the horse directly, and Du Xiaoxi didn't dare to delay and stepped on the stool to get into the carriage.
When I opened the curtain, I saw Master Xile sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and I felt that someone came in, and Master Xile opened his eyes and said to Du Xiaoxi: "Hurry up and sit down, these people are like rushing to reincarnate, one by one, they are in a hurry!" ”
As soon as Master's words fell, a hoarse driving sound sounded outside the car window, and the carriage ran violently.
Du Xiaoxi hurriedly sat down against the wall of the car, and said to Master Xile, "Master, why are you back?" ”
Du Xiaoxi only knew that the master was back when the senior brother in the temple came to deliver something in the morning, and he originally thought that he would go to the temple tomorrow, but he didn't expect to meet so soon.
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and there are a few more folds on Master Xile's face, and he probably ran to Beihai and was blown by the wind and snow, and he could feel thinner than before when he sits.
Master Joy sighed and said with a sigh: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." What should come will come. ”
"Huh?" Du Xiaoxi looked at the master with a lawsuit, what does this mean?
The prince is seriously ill, and he still says such frustrating words at this time, is this the rhythm of death?
Du Xiaoxi frowned, she was dragging her family and saying that nothing could happen, and her son hadn't been weaned yet!
Seeing that the apprentice couldn't sit still like an ant on a hot pot, Master Xile shook the sleeves of the wide monk's robe, stretched out his thin finger and pointed to the roof of the car, giving the apprentice candy, "The sky has changed, you are going to go to the peak of your life and be a little princess!" ”
Du Xiaoxi hurriedly looked left and right, opened the curtain and saw that there was no one on both sides of the car, so he relaxed a little and said in a low voice: "Master, what are you doing?" Don't die! ”
Master Joy put away his fingers, closed his eyes, and began to chant the Sutra.
Du Xiaoxi thought about his master's words, and his heart was turbulent, according to the master's words, the prince was likely to be unable to endure it, and it would be gone directly.
If the crown prince is gone now, it can also explain why the emperor in his previous life was not the emperor's favorite prince.
If a person dies, even if the emperor wants to leave the throne to his son, he has no power to return to heaven!
If the crown prince is gone, according to the emperor's favor for the prince, it is likely that the empathy effect will occur again, and the feelings for the white queen and the prince will be transferred to the prince's eldest son, the crown prince. Even if he is not the grandson of the emperor, there are powerful princes who support the Empress Zhao and the Meng family and the Qian family. After the imperial grandson and several powerful princes, the throne finally fell on the Nine Emperors. Something must have happened in between!
The more Du Xiaoxi thought about it, the more frightened he became, if this is the case, there will definitely be no peace in Beijing next.
Du Xiaoxi reminded herself to take a deep breath, and then took a deep breath, now it is useless to think about this, the most important thing is that if the prince is really gone, she will save her life in the emperor's anger first!
As the carriage sped away, the two entered the palace without saying a word.
The carriage entered the palace just to check at the city gate, and the two did not get out of the car and changed the sedan chair, and sat in the car and galloped all the way to the East Palace.
East Palace, Chaoyang Palace.
Emperor Jiayuan sat at the top, and there was a group of imperial doctors kneeling densely below, seeing that all the imperial doctors in this posture palace were summoned here.
Emperor Jiayuan looked at the group of people with a gloomy face, and his voice was full of coldness, "How is the prince?" ”
The doctor of Tai Hospital, Feng Jishi, had a white face and said forcefully: "The old minister deserves to die!" ”
Emperor Jiayuan directly threw the teacup he was holding tightly in his hand towards Feng Yizheng, and Feng Ji didn't dare to move, and was splashed with warm tea.
The other doctors didn't dare to move even if they didn't move, trying to shrink their bodies to reduce their sense of presence.
Emperor Jiayuan didn't have a good rest for a long time, his bloodshot eyes looked at the group of imperial doctors who didn't dare to look at him with their heads down, his heart tightened, and he said calmly: "If the emperor has something, you can watch and do it!" ”
A group of people hunched down on the ground couldn't help but feel sad, with the emperor's favor for the crown prince, they were in a catastrophe.
"Your Majesty, Master Xile and his disciple Madame Liu are here." The old eunuch Zhao Fu reminded in a low voice.
Emperor Jiayuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light, and he stood up directly and walked out.
"Amitabha!" Master Xile directly recited the Buddha with his hands folded to Emperor Jiayuan, who came in a hurry, and Du Xiaoxi also chanted.
Emperor Jiayuan was very out of shape, stepped forward and grabbed Master Xile's arm and said urgently: "Please master save my son's life!" ”
Master Xile looked at Emperor Jiayuan calmly and did not reply.
Emperor Jiayuan's body stiffened, and he quickly recovered, "Please take a look at me, master!" There was no doubt in the voice.
The group moved to the main hall where the prince lived.
On the big bed covered with yellow dragon patterns lay a thin and elegant middle-aged man, if it weren't for his slightly undulating chest, he couldn't see whether this person was alive or not.
Emperor Jiayuan took the lead and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down, and the man's hand on the bed said very lovingly: "Qian'er, don't be afraid. Father Emperor has invited Master Xile here, and the master's medical skills will definitely cure you, and Qian'er will soon wake up. ”
Master Xile beckoned Du Xiaoxi to stand on the side of the bed together, looking at the people on the bed without the slightest reaction, and the two of them couldn't help frowning.
"There's Master Lao!" Emperor Jiayuan put down his son's slightly cool hand and stood beside him.
Master Xile stepped forward and lifted the prince's eyelids directly, and when he saw the pupils that seemed to be gathering and dispersing, he suddenly felt a bottom. This situation is not cured!
Stroke on the pulse, should refer to the seems to be nothing, a long time before there is a to.
Emperor Jiayuan saw Master Xile's face becoming more and more heavy, and his face turned white.
Out of the prince's bedroom, Emperor Jiayuan's crown princess and a group of imperial doctors were all blocking the joy master.
Master Joy asked in a deep voice, "But you hurt your head?" ”
The crown princess nodded with tears in her eyes and said: "Exactly, half a month ago, the prince left the palace and was hit on the head by the inkstone thrown in the restaurant. I was groggy for the first few days and then I was unconscious. Please save Your Highness! Hongu is here to kowtow to you! Saying that, the crown princess was about to kneel, but she was dragged by the palace maid next to her, so she didn't kneel.
Master Xile avoided the side, met Emperor Jiayuan's heavy eyes, and finally sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lost his mind now, and now he can only wake up by himself."
Emperor Jiayuan clenched his fists, "How long will it take to wake up?" If so, what if you can't wake up? ”
"Whether you can wake up or not depends on the will of Your Highness. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't wake up, His Highness would only be able to support it for a few years at most. ”
Emperor Jiayuan's eyes closed, and he opened his eyes violently to look at Du Xiaoxi, who had been pretending to be an ostrich, and said straightly: "I heard that the strange disease in Liu Langzhong and the jaundice of the prince of the Ming Dynasty were cured by you." Can you cure the prince's illness? ”
Emperor Jiayuan is in full swing, how can a small person like Du Xiaoxi support it. sighed in my heart that a shot shot at the head bird was all caused by death in the first place.
"The little woman is not good at medicine, and she doesn't know how to treat her. The little woman thought that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cared about the people who talked to him more, and if His Royal Highness knew that Your Majesty was still thinking about him, he would definitely be reluctant to let you go. I won't give up hope and will try to wake up! ”
Vegetable! Vegetable!
Du Xiaoxi heard the crown princess say that the prince was smashed to the head by an inkstone, and combined with the words of the master and the imperial doctor, he suddenly felt that His Royal Highness the prince had become a common vegetative person in TV dramas.
This kind of patient who is going to die or not live, Du Xiaoxi has only seen it in TV series.
It is a medical miracle that vegetative people can wake up in modern society, and in ancient times without nutritional support, bodily functions simply could not last long. The chances of waking up are slim to none.
Now that she was asked by the emperor, Du Xiaoxi didn't dare to say anything, she didn't know anything, she couldn't be treated, for fear that the emperor would click her with a knife, and she was busy telling what she had seen on TV in her previous life.
It's not all about singing to the patient, talking, encouraging him, telling him that you care about him and miss him. This will inspire their belief in survival, is it likely that the patient will wake up?
Art comes from life, so it's better to use it, right?
Du Xiaoxi finished his point of view uncertainly, and the people in the entire hall fell into deep thought.
Emperor Jiayuan knew that Du Xiaoxi's first two methods of saving people were not regular needles and medicines, and after thinking about it, it might really work, so he didn't say much.
Master Joy coughed lightly, "The poor monk thinks that the apprentice's method is feasible. His Royal Highness has a strong will to survive in order to wake up as soon as possible. ”
Emperor Jiayuan pondered for a long time before he seemed to react and said to the two: "Master Buddhism is profound, and Master Lao is praying for the emperor in the palace. The crown princess is too worried, so Mrs. Liu will stay and relieve the princess for a few days! ”
Emperor, you are the biggest, you have said so, what else can we say!
The two answered, and soon one was taken to the guest house, and the other was taken to the Buddhist hall.
Emperor Jiayuan returned to the prince's dormitory and asked everyone to retreat, reached out and touched the prince's forehead, grabbed the prince's hand and sat quietly.
After a long time, the voice of the rather old man sounded.
"Qian'er, do you remember your mother? Your mother likes the two of us the most. Your queen mother will make delicious red bean cakes, make beautiful clothes, and sing songs to us. Qian'er, do you remember? ”
"Sometimes my father thinks again, if my father doesn't fight for this position, won't she die? Will our family of three be happy too? ”
"Your queen mother saved her father with her life, and the chair she exchanged for her life will naturally be passed on to you, and others are not qualified to touch it at all. Wake up quickly. Father will give you the seat, and your father will be able to see your mother as soon as possible. ”
Thinking of the girl who was accompanied by a pool of lotus flowers at the concubine selection banquet that year, I thought of the girl who died for him to block the knife. The old emperor's cloudy eyes were shining.
The person lying on the bed seemed to think of the gentle face in his memory, and a tear overflowed from the corner of his eye.
Emperor Jiayuan saw the tears in the corners of his son's eyes and cried out violently, "Someone! Doctor! Doctor! ”
