Chapter 290: West Strikes

This time, Muzhou's treatment was really different from last time, only Xie Wenji was at the gate of the city with a dozen officials.

As soon as Jiuwen and Xi got out of the carriage, Xie Wenji hurriedly stepped forward and whispered:

"Nine Emperor Prince Haihan, my father is sick in bed, so he has to be greeted by Wen Ji, please don't blame the Nine Emperor Sons."

Hearing Xie Wenji say this, Jiuwen and Xi glanced at each other, their expressions became a little solemn, I don't know if King Mu deliberately avoided them in this move, or if he was really seriously ill.

Either way, it's not good news for them borrowing seedlings.

Jiuwen smiled: "Oh, they are all relatives, if my uncle is not well, let's go visit first." ”

"This ...... The banquet is ready, that ...... Besides, the Nine Emperors came from afar, so they had to eat something first. ”

But the more Xie Wenji said this, the more Jiuwen made up his mind to visit King Mu, and he smiled:

"My uncle never enters the Central Capital, and as a prince, I can't walk around with everyone on weekdays. This time, it's easy to get a chance, and it's always necessary to be closer. Besides, my uncle is sick, so I don't have any heart to eat. Wen Ji, you can lead the way! ”

Jiuwen said this, where did Xie Wenji object, so he had to lead Jiuwen and Xi straight to the backyard of the palace.

The three of them hurriedly stepped into King Mu's courtyard when a servant greeted him and said with a smile:

"Childe, the old lady said that the prince has just fallen asleep, please lead the guests to the front hall to eat first."

Xie Wenji's face sank, but he didn't dare to reply. He only looked at Jiuwen in embarrassment.

Jiuwen smiled coldly: "Uncle is asleep?" Okay, I'll just wait. They are all their own relatives, and they don't have so many courtesies. ”

Let's talk about it. Jiuwen walked straight to the door regardless of it.

Xie Wenji hesitated, but had to lead Xi to follow.

Before Jiuwen and the others entered the house, they saw an old woman who was over eighty years old, trembling out of the back room.

Xie Wenji walked forward quickly and saluted, and introduced Jiuwen and Xi to the old lady.

When the old lady heard this, she stepped forward and wanted to salute Jiuwen. Jiuwen hurriedly helped her and said with a smile: "How dare you, we are close relatives." Old lady, is this going to be tormented! ”

With this hand, Jiuwen clearly smelled the smell of herbs emanating from the old lady's body, it seemed that King Mu was really sick!

After everyone sat down, Jiuwen inquired about King Mu's condition. The corners of the old lady's eyes were filled with tears. With a long sigh:

"I don't know what evil I have done, first I gave away my only son and daughter-in-law, and now I even have my only grandson...... What's the use of me living so long?! ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiuwen and Xi couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that King Mu was terminally ill?

At this time, Xie Wenji, who was beside her, briefly explained King Mu's condition.

It turned out that King Mu had been in poor health in recent years, and soon after Jiuwen borrowed food, King Mu was sick again. I don't want to, but I can't afford to get sick. I don't know how many doctors I have been asked to and how many medicines I have taken. But it got worse and worse.

And until now, the doctors' opinions have not reached a consensus, and they even have their own opinions on what kind of disease King Mu has, and no one is convinced.

Xi got up at this time, and said with a deep salute: "Xi Bucai, he has been rough in medical science since he was a child, and he suddenly recommended himself to treat Mu Wang's illness, I don't know what the old lady wants?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Wenji pursed the corners of his mouth and was about to refuse.

Seeing this, Jiuwen was busy talking about Ximei, hoping that the old lady would allow him to give it a try.

The old lady wiped her teary eyes, squinted and looked west for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, beckoned him forward, took his hand and asked:

"Son, how old can you be when you are so young? Is it really sure to cure my lord's illness? ”

"The last time the West was troubled, I had a meeting with King Mu, and I felt that King Mu was in love, and I wanted to try my best today. Although Xi is only twenty-one years old, he has also healed some patients, and asked the old lady to fulfill Xi's wishes. ”

The old lady stared at the west, looked at it for a long time, and sighed: "There are many karmas, so you can try it." ”

After a long time, Xixi walked out slowly, and Jiuwen hurriedly got up and asked him about the situation.

Xi pondered for a moment before shaking his head and sighing:

"The prince's illness is very strange, and Xi can't tell clearly. This disease seems to be a great fever, but it is actually a great cold. I looked at the prescriptions of the previous doctors, and I really couldn't agree. I'm afraid that this disease is not serious, but because I used too much good medicine, I have corrupted the body's health qi. It's just that I'm not completely sure ......."

Xie Wenji snorted disdainfully and said, "In the morning, Imperial Doctor Li only diagnosed him, and said that my father was suffering from a fever. He is an imperial doctor, if it weren't for Ding Wei's return to his hometown, we wouldn't have invited such a master......"

"You know what!" The old lady drank him unceremoniously and said, "Yue'er's illness has always been seen by Dr. Zhao, and since he passed three years ago, we have never met a doctor who is in harmony. Yue'er has been cold since childhood, and I know it. But now all the doctors say that he is very popular, and I have always been suspicious. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady smiled to the west and said, "You said that he is cold, I think it is reasonable." Seeing a doctor also depends on fate, and Dr. Li is not a famous doctor, but Yue'er takes his medicine alone. Try your medicine! ”

"But the ancestor, Imperial Doctor Li ......"

Xie Wenji screamed, but received a cold look from the old lady, so he had to swallow the rest of the words back into his stomach.

After meditating and writing down the prescription, the old lady warmly invited him and Jiuwen to the back hall for dinner.

Xie Wenji hesitated for a long time before saying, "Ancestor, the banquet of the Nine Emperor Princes has already been prepared, and now there are more than ten officials waiting in the front hall to open the banquet." ”

The old lady said unhappily: "Who let you make your own decisions and find those outsiders to make trouble." Although Wuxun is the prince, he is the closest relative of my Xie family, and he naturally wants to eat with me when he comes to the house! You yourself don't know how to reason, and you're still barking here! You don't need to wait here, you can go to the front hall and greet the officials. ”

Xie Wenji didn't dare to speak, and retreated alone.

The old lady smiled and led the Nine Emperor Princes and Xi to the hall for dinner.

The Xie family is a family, and the rules for eating are quite big, and in a hall of Nuoda, only the old lady, the Nine Emperors, and the West are sitting, and there are seven or eight servants waiting.

Xi peeked at the actions of Jiuwen and Lao Taijun, learning to clean his hands and rinse his mouth step by step, and couldn't help but think that this Xie family's attention was bigger than that in the palace!

Before the rice reached his mouth, Xi had already secretly sweated a thin layer of sweat.

Finally opened the table, Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but found that the dishes were the same as the same, and it was completely different from the last time I ate here, it seemed to be the food of the inner house.

He looked left and right for a long time, but still only ate some white rice.

The old lady smiled on the side: "You have lived in the north for a long time, and you are not used to eating southern dishes, but I am not thoughtful." Then let's drink the soup, which is a lotus seed porridge made from dried lotus leaves in midsummer, try it. ”

When the servant heard this, he was busy serving Jiuwen and Xisheng, but Xi couldn't help it, and twisted it with a spoon a few times, and when he saw that the soup was clear and clear, there was nothing but lotus leaves and lotus seeds, so he tasted two bites carefully.

This soup is fragrant in the mouth, the taste is dense and moist, and it is extremely refreshing.

Unexpectedly, before half a bowl was finished, Xi suddenly felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

Xi opened his mouth and wanted to tell everyone that he had broad bean disease, but he couldn't speak. Like a dying fish, he was breathing with his mouth wide open, but his face was purple.

With a "snap", the soup bowl in Nishi's hand fell to the ground, and Nishi himself rolled from the chair to the ground. (To be continued......)
