Chapter 189

"The palace people retreated from the Longhua Palace, leaving the people who care about no need to hide it, because Dr. Cheng was fortunate to be blessed with a unique face to face in front of Tianyan.

Doctor Cheng is very calm and meticulous, there is no nonsense, of course, there will be no salute or anything, the formal etiquette has not been learned, and the half-hung etiquette is afraid that others will not look down on him, he is here to treat the disease and not to flatter the emperor, there is no need to wronged himself, although he can't be like the uncle casually, it is reasonable to be informal in his behavior.

As far as Dr. Cheng's calmness of the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him and his face did not change, he couldn't help but secretly praise it when he saw it, and chose to understand Dr. Cheng's slightly rude behavior, and when his medical skills reach a certain level, there will always be such and such little strangeness, which is not unusual, which is understandable.

The time to diagnose the pulse is a little long, during which I have seen the tongue coating roll the eyelids, and the fingers have been pricked and some blood has been released, which seems to be ordinary but takes two teas.

"How?" Mu Jinming was anxious, and his calm temperament was gone in this situation, it was a matter of life and death for his father, how could he be calm and not arrogant or impatient, it was definitely not his own.

"Not good." Dr. Cheng shook his head, no matter what kind of punch his words would bring to the patient and the patient's family, he twisted his eyebrows and stroked his beard in silent contemplation.

The atmosphere of the inner sanctum was occupied by the coolness of the emptiness, and no one spoke again, and the silence of the slump spread, and everyone's face showed a different sadness.

"Let's think about it." Doctor Cheng said: "This situation is very rare, and there is no danger of life for the time being, and it is difficult to say if it drags on for a long time. "For incurable diseases and challenging medical skills, every doctor takes it as his responsibility to face difficulties and solve one problem after another with what he has learned all his life. The study of medicine is endless, and it is necessary to constantly explore and accumulate virtue in real life, and the more people come into contact with all kinds of patients. The easier it is to put what you have learned and think into your own.

Dr. Cheng also has a positive attitude towards the current illness, even if it cannot be completely cured and prolonged his life, he can still give it a try.

"Yes, please ask Dr. Cheng and Imperial Doctor Xu to live in the side hall, and everything you need can be used." Xichao responded neatly, with more help and more hope, and Qu Lao will also come soon. Three stinkers can still top Zhuge Liang, not to mention three doctors with successful medical skills, I believe there will be a solution.

The tide dynasty does not believe in fate. Not to mention a word of resignation, they all say that people will win the day, and the reward of hard work is not far away, as for whether it is satisfactory, it depends on the final result of the matter.

Doctor Cheng nodded in agreement with the Wing King's arrangement. I was very satisfied with the Wing King's upper path. In this way, he doesn't need to be tied, the things in the palace are much better than those outside, and the ancient medical books that keep beckoning to him, even if he is willing to live in the palace for the rest of his life, as long as there are ancient medical books to read, other things are not considered.

Imperial Physician Xu took Dr. Cheng to the side hall where he was now living, and after a while, a little eunuch sent a daily serving, and the side hall was spacious enough to fit two beds, one on one side.

Dr. Cheng is very satisfied with the place to stay. Spacious and bright, the palace is different. What's even more beautiful is that I saw that there were so many yellow|old books on the table of Imperial Doctor Xu, and the blue light in his eyes popped out, and he almost jumped up and hugged him in his arms, but fortunately, he still knew that he should not be rude to others at this time, the other party was an old friend who he could see, although he had been together for a short time, and his conduct was worthy of deep friendship.

Don't do embarrassing things, Dr. Cheng is measured, the current condition is the most important, take a break and rush to the road of studying the condition.

"Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way." Mu Haoyu comforted a pair of children, this time is not when they are depressed, and the children should not be trapped in this matter.

"Hmm." Xi Chao and Mu Jinming responded in unison, but there was no pretending to be strong in their hearts, and their hopes were getting slimmer and slimmer? No, there must be a solution that has not yet been found.

"Give the chalcedony to Dr. Cheng and see if you can get a useful recipe from the chalcedony." Xichao calmed down, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke amazingly.

"That's a royal secret medicine." Mu Jinming was surprised by Xi Chao's boldness, no, it should be reckless, "Doctor Cheng's identity needs to be verified, and there is no guarantee that Fang Zi will not be leaked." "Chalcedony is a life-saving thing, and it would be a great disaster for the royal family to get it.

"Medicine is more important than life!" Xi Chao said unswervingly: "Besides, chalcedony is not much help to my father's condition, as for the leakage, it is even more unexisting, chalcedony is known for its rarity, the reason is that the prepared medicine is difficult to find, the preparation method is peculiar, coupled with the special preservation method, each is indispensable, and it costs a lot to collect all the needs, except for the royal family has this strength, it is usually only prohibitive, and Dr. Cheng is a smart person may wish to give it a try."

Xi Chao also had no way to come up with such a seemingly absurd decision, but whenever there was a glimmer of hope, she would give it a try, even if it was difficult.

"Just according to Chao'er's words." Mu Haoyu sighed, although the youngest daughter's method is stupid and not sure to be effective, it can soothe the youngest daughter's chaotic heart, this is enough, just a bottle of chalcedony, not to worry.

"Okay." Mu Jinming agreed with Xi Chao's unrealistic idea, now he needs to try any method, he is quite ashamed, he can't even catch up with half of Xi Chao, and he shouldn't be indecisive for the sake of a useless broken medicine.

"Father, rest early." It's already late, and the Xi Dynasty is afraid that his father will be tired, so it's good for his body to rest early.

"You're staying tonight?" Mu Jin asked suddenly.

"Hmm." Xi Chao nodded, there was no need to keep vigil, "Live in the small garden behind." ā€

"I'll stay tonight too." Mu Jinming needs to deal with the affairs at hand, and then talk to Xi Chao about his future plans.

In the evening, Mu Jinming found Xi Chao Bingzhu to talk at night, and the worries and fears of the recent days were connected, and they were very depressed and could not be resolved, and the sadness on his face was not reduced by covering up.

"How is Yan Guo?" Mu Jinming didn't know why he asked about Yan Guo, and he didn't blurt out the words in his head, but in fact, what he wanted to say was not this.

"That's the Yan Kingdom in the eyes of others." The Xi Dynasty recounted what Zhan Junfei said word for word from the customs of the Yan Kingdom that he had heard, regardless of whether there was a deviation or not, remembering these would be beneficial in the future.

"Sounds tempting." Mu Jinming couldn't help but yearn for Yan Guo when he heard it, and Xi Chao went out anyway. On the other hand, I think I will be even more out of the outside world in the future.

"Even if you can't go, you can see Yan Guozhi." Xi Chao heard the melancholy in Mu Jinming's words, and after staying in one place for a long time, his desire to go out will increase day by day. Why not.

"There's no time." Mu Jinming was busier than ever during this time, how could he spare time to read idle books such as Yan Guozhi.

"Are you going to see Zhan Junfei tomorrow?" Mu Jinming turned the conversation and said something else.

"Well, it is necessary to tell Dr. Cheng to stay in the palace for a long time." Xi Chao is reluctant to be rude to the front because of small things, this is what must be done.

"What Zhan Junfei mentioned, you want to give an answer now?" Mu Jinming was afraid that Zhan Junfei would change his mind and call Dr. Cheng back, even if there were ancient medical books that might not work, although Dr. Cheng couldn't cure his father, it was much better than Dr. Xu meditating alone. One more person is more helpful, Dr. Cheng's identity is not his own person after all, and some things need to be considered again and again.

"We'll talk about it after Qu Lao comes." A qiē incident is placed after the body of the father. Shiochao will not be stated in advance.

"How much longer?" Mu Jinming seemed to be asking questions, and sighed, "The waiting days are extraordinarily long. ā€

"It's been a month and a half since you've been back, haven't you?" Mu Jinming silently calculated the days in his heart, "As soon as Qu Lao arrives, it's time to leave again." "It's annoying, why can't there be a good thing.

Xi Chao did not open his mouth to answer Mu Jinming's words. The results are already in sight. A choice must be made, and there is no turning back from the bow.

"Let's not go to bed early." Mu Jin knew that the Xi Dynasty was more tired than herself, and she was worried about her father's illness and closely controlled the movements of the officials in the court.

"Okay." Xichao closed his eyes and fell asleep without saying a word.

If you don't go to court today, hundreds of officials in the court have formed a habit of coming to stand at the court no matter whether they are in the court or not, or they will come to the court to make a stop, or to hand over a fold, or to inquire about the news. Not idle anyway.

The emperor's condition is still a mystery, and no one dares to ask in vain. In case of angering Long Yan and becoming a shuttle in an instant, how could the result end miserably, this is a kind of synchronicity reached by the courtiers silently.

The eldest prince has not appeared in front of people for a long time, copying scriptures and praying for blessings behind closed doors, and there are small officials who want to take the opportunity to get through the matter of the eldest prince's resumption of the crown prince's canonization.

The situation tends to be tense above the court, no one dares to pluck the taut string, it is too brittle and easy to break, and the previous bloody lesson tells the courtiers that there is a knife on the head of the word forbearance.

Under the nervous waiting of most people, Xi Chao finally saw Qu Lao, who was tired of the wind and dust, although he invited someone to take care of the secret guard, after all, he was old, and it was difficult for his body to endure the long journey.

Qu Lao needs to rest, Xi Chao has arranged a qiē, and is not in a hurry to ask for a doctor, and will talk about it when Qu Lao has eased up. The hanging heart fell down after seeing people, no matter what the result was, just do your best.

Qu Lao, who entered the palace again, sighed helplessly, and after suddenly seeing the person who invited him to come, he knew that the situation had changed, and it was developing in an irreversible direction. Even though the answer was buried in my heart, I still didn't want to see the current situation of the person being treated, so I decided to follow this wish.

After resting for three days in a row, Qu Lao Fang relieved his spirits, and after diagnosing the pulse, the words he said were no different from those of Dr. Cheng, and the three old men came together to find a way, and there was an extra bed in the side hall, so he would not be wronged by Qu Lao.

"Sure enough." Mu Jin looked at the sky and sighed, "Are you leaving?" "Things can't be changed anymore, and it's no longer necessary for Xichao to stay here.

"Tomorrow." The Xi Dynasty wants to return to Xiaocangshan, and seeing that there is not much left in the March period, it is a matter that the forbidden army must go back to accept the results.

"I'll look at my father." Mu Jinming's promise was so pale and powerless, and he didn't trust himself, and he didn't know if he could keep his promise to Xi Chao this time.

"I believe in you." Xi Chao gave Mu Jinming a hug as comfort, "The past will eventually fade, and you always remember the past that shouldn't have happened to you." ā€

"Well, I'll overcome the difficulties in front of me and wait until the day you come back." Mu Jinming used a smile to drive away the haze, he would do it.

"Okay." There are a lot of things in the tide, and you don't need to bring anything with you this time, so you should pay attention to the uncertain factor of flying.

Xi Chao went to see Zhan Junfei before leaving, and the two sat in the private room of the restaurant where they met for the first time.

"How?" What Zhan Junfei asked was not the fragrant tea in the hand of the Wing King, but something that both of them knew.

"Whimsical." Shiochao gave the answer. "The mutual benefit and reciprocity mentioned by Zhan Gongzi is like an empty talk, and it is difficult for people to be willing to invest in it without substantive benefits."

"Yes, this is only a rough construction under the yƬ. If there are different views, they can be discussed. The smile on Zhan Junfei's face remained unchanged, and his heart sank, did Emperor Mu really not agree or did he lose his ambition because of his health?

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Zhan." Shio's calm voice said with an absolute attitude.

"Oh, there's no room for negotiation?" Zhan Junfei didn't believe that his good plan would be in vain.

"So far." Xi Chao didn't explain much, and got up to say goodbye.

"Isn't the Winged King unmoved?" Zhan Junfei was surprised by the calm and waveless of the person in front of him, and there was no half-love in those dark eyes.

"There is no need for this king to bury his good future for the sake of a ridiculous mention." Shiochao gave his own answer. Broke off the idea of Zhan Xiaofei.

"Collusion with other countries is a capital offense, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, whether they are innocent or not." The tide did not wait for the exhibition to fly away, and the caliber left.

"Childe?" Ah Wu looked at Gongzi's gloomy face, and his heart was puzzled, "It's just win-win cooperation." How can it be linked to the crime of collusion with other countries. "It's a little creepy.

"The concept of exclusivity of the Mu people is deep-rooted." Zhan Junfei held a cup of light drink, secretly wondering if he was too impatient or the conditions were not attractive enough?

"Obviously, it is easier for the royal family to be contained." Ah Wu followed his son-in-law back and forth in three countries, and Wei Guo was the first to go because of his proximity to Yan and Mu. Dropping the tempting incense bait doesn't require Childe to plan too much. The royal family of the Patriotic Family is very good-looking, and according to the expected development of the prince, they will encounter a wall everywhere in Mu Kingdom, not to mention that they will have a lot of benefits.

"This road does not lead to another way." Ah Wu understands the temper of the prince, how can he give up halfway, "Why don't you go to the prince's minister's side?" He still thinks the prince is more reliable.

"Of the two princes, which one do you say to choose?" Zhan Junfei had the resumes and preferences of the two princes in his mind, and he considered starting with them.

"How is the eldest prince?" Ah Wuluo thought for a while and said: "The eldest prince occupies the position of the eldest son, and he is more related to the throne. As for the three princes, they didn't inquire. Many people are not optimistic. ā€

Zhan Xiaofei held the cup in his hand, his eyes drifted out of the window, his thoughts drifted away, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything for a while.

"Childe?" Ah Wuhu looked at the deviant son suspiciously, where did he think of it?

"You said you should choose a capable son to inherit your position, how would you choose?" Zhan Junfei suddenly opened his mouth to ask questions, and analyzed the pros and cons little by little by adopting empathy.

"Is it the eldest son or the second son who is unknown?" Zhan Junfei made a decision in his heart, if he wanted to choose one by himself, he would rather be the one who can win, and the meaning of that position without him is a country, it is everyone rather than a small family, and it must be cherished and cautious.

Ah Wu scratched his chin with green stubble and looked quite serious thinking, and after a while, he gave the same answer as his son-in-law, "The capable person is competent." "How can the family business created by himself allow the son of a loser to squander it and not save it, that is all his own hard work, how can he be trampled on by others, even his own son.

"Then which do you think is better than the eldest prince or the third prince?" Zhan Junfei did not want to teach Ah Wu, but to confirm his own thoughts while asking others.

"It is impossible to accurately judge based on the information we have found." Ah Wu said with annoyance, "The people planted in Mu Country can't go deep into the royal family. "This is also what Childe must do here.

"The rumors out there should be a point or two of credibility." Zhan Junfei is thinking that some things may not be groundless, it is difficult for people to make up things with frameworks and implications, how can they not pay attention to the face of the royal family.

"So what do we do?" Ah Wu was confused, and it was difficult to guess the mind of the son.

"Wait and see what happens." Zhan Feifei pressed the churning mood and groaned to himself.

Seeing that he was speechless, Ah Wu quietly accompanied his son.

Early the next morning, Xi Chao left Shangjing with Hongrui for Xiaocangshan, and her father's deterioration would not last long, and she had more things to do before the worst came.

The leaves on Xiaocang Mountain are all yellow, and it is gratifying to dye the forest, but the Xichao has no mood to enjoy the scenery.

"Master, rest for a while, Hongming will come and the slave will call you." Hongrui could see that the master's exhaustion was not only physical but also mental, and the emperor's repeated illness was a fuse, forcing the master to start planning in advance.

Hongrui saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, the master was only fourteen years old, what was the lady of the same age doing? What is the master doing? Sometimes the pain in my heart is the most terrible if I don't say it.

Xi Chao nodded slightly, took off his coat and lay on the couch to sleep lightly, he should sleep for a while, and he couldn't burn his body because of what he was going to encounter in the future.

Hongrui stepped forward to cover the master with a thin blanket, it was already the beginning of the autumn festival, and the climate in the mountains was cooler than that in Beijing.

Hongming hurried to finish what he was doing, and almost collided with Hongrui when he entered the tent, Hongrui put his index finger against his lips and shushed him, signaling a light sound.

"The master is asleep." Hong Rui pulled Hong Ming out of the tent, knowing that Hong Ming had something to ask, the two didn't dare to go far, avoiding some talking about what happened in Beijing. (To be continued......)
