"Has the princess woken up?" Li Xiu came to Princess Pingyang's bed to check her injuries, and then asked the maid next to her.

"When she woke up once, the slave asked the princess to drink more water, and ate some more food, and then the princess fell asleep again." The maid replied softly, Li Xiu was a little speechless when he heard this, Princess Pingyang woke up four or five times in the past two days, each time when he was away, until now he has not really known this legendary woman.

"Your Highness, I need to apply alcohol to the princess's wound, but this process will be painful, in order to prevent the princess from biting her tongue, it is best to stuff a towel in her mouth!" Li Xiu turned his head to Li Shimin next to him at this time, because of the reason to avoid suspicion, Ma Ye was still guarding the door, and there were only him and Li Shimin in the room except for the maids.

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and a maid took a clean towel for Princess Pingyang to bite, and then Li Xiu dipped it in alcohol with clean gauze, and then began to wipe and disinfect the skin on the periphery of the wound.

On the one hand, alcohol is too irritating and will cause severe pain to the injured, and on the other hand, alcohol may also stimulate some protein denaturation of human tissues, which is not conducive to wound healing and will leave unsightly scars in the future, but now the conditions are limited, and everything is mainly life-saving, so I can't take care of these negative effects.

"Woo~" When the alcohol just touched the wound of Princess Pingyang, the princess who was sleeping suddenly trembled all over, and finally woke up with a painful moan, a pair of somewhat misty eyes slowly opened, and then saw Li Xiu who was giving her medicine in front of the bed.

"Princess, you're awake, this medicine will make you feel very painful, but it can cure your current injuries, so please bear with me!" Li Xiu showed a gentle smile to the princess at this time and said, he has a good impression of this legendary woman, and everyone is a neighbor, although Ma Ye usually yells at him, he actually takes care of him very much, so Li Xiu also wants to leave a good impression on the princess.

Princess Pingyang had a towel stuffed in her mouth and couldn't speak, but at this time she also understood Li Xiu's words, and nodded firmly, seeing the princess nodding, Li Xiu began to apply the wound seriously.

Alcohol is very irritating, especially when poured into the wound, the feeling is like being cut with a red-hot knife, Li Xiu dipped in alcohol gauze Every time she wiped Princess Pingyang's wound, her body would tremble involuntarily, and a lot of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, but even so, she still bit the towel with her silver teeth, trying not to scream.

Li Xiu didn't expect Princess Pingyang to seem weak and show such strong perseverance, which also made him even more admired, perhaps it was these qualities in her that made this seemingly weak woman a legend.

Li Shimin, who was next to him, saw his sister's painful appearance, and he was also sweating profusely, but he couldn't help his sister share it, so he had to sit next to Princess Pingyang and hold her hand tightly, hoping to comfort her sister in this way, and Princess Pingyang saw her brother's appearance, and a reluctant smile appeared on her pale face. Li Xiu next to him was also a little envious when he looked here, and it could be seen that the relationship between Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin was very deep, which was also very rare among the royal families.

The wound was quickly cleaned, perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, which made Princess Pingyang completely sober, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xiu asked people to take their own special water, adding salt and honey, in fact, it is sugar and salt water, which should have been best with glucose, but now there is none, so it can only be replaced by honey, anyway, there is glucose in honey.

Li Xiu made a big bowl of sugar and salt water, and Princess Pingyang wanted to stop after taking a few sips, but Li Xiu said: "Princess, if you feel that you can drink it, it is best to drink all the water in the bowl, which is conducive to your recovery from your injuries!" ”

"This water tastes weird, sweet and salty, what's in it?" Princess Pingyang seemed to be in good spirits, and even asked, this was the first time she spoke to Li Xiu, but her voice was a little weak and hoarse.

"Honey and salt are added to it, the princess had a high fever and sweating before, and she needs salt to replenish the balance of electrolytes and acid-base in her body, and she also needs honey to replenish her physical strength, and a lot of water is also conducive to the discharge of toxins in the princess's body, so this water is very important!" Li Xiu explained with a smile that he knew that others couldn't understand him, but this was what he wanted.

Sure enough, Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin were completely dazzled by Li Xiu's words, although they wanted to ask what "electrolytes and acids and bases" were, but looking at Li Xiu's natural look, it seemed that he was talking about a common sense that everyone should know, which made them embarrassed to ask again in the end, Princess Pingyang hesitated for a moment and finally motioned to the maid to hand the bowl to her mouth, and drank the water in a big gulp.

Li Xiu saw that Princess Pingyang was so cooperative, and finally put her mind at ease, and immediately asked her about her feelings, such as how the wound felt, whether she had dizziness and nausea reactions, etc., but soon Princess Pingyang showed a tired expression again, so Li Xiu and Li Shimin said goodbye and left, so that she had time to rest.

"Captain Li, the third sister seems to be in a better state of mind when she wakes up this time than before, is your medicine working?" As soon as he came out of the small courtyard where the princess was recuperating, Li Shimin immediately asked impatiently.

"Your Royal Highness, the medicine I took just now only worked on the external injury, as for the princess's injury, it has already been from the outside in, now I control the root cause of the external injury, the toxins in the body are like rootless water, as long as the princess's own immune system can expel the toxins little by little, then there will be no problem!" Li Xiu sighed and explained, although he said it easily, he didn't actually have any certainty.

"What if it doesn't come out?" Although Li Shimin didn't understand what the immune system in Li Xiu's words was, he could also understand his words, and immediately grabbed the key point in his words and asked.

"This ......" Li Xiu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, if Princess Pingyang couldn't discharge the toxin, then he could only make the injury worse, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but want to be angry again, but in the end he endured it, in fact, he has not given up looking for other famous doctors in the past few days, but these famous doctors who found all shook their heads and refused to come after hearing about the princess's injury, because under such backward conditions in ancient times, wound infection can almost be regarded as a terminal illness, and whether it can be cured depends on the luck of the injured, so Li Xiu is already Li Shimin's last hope.

In the next few days, Li Xiu came to wipe Princess Pingyang's wounds every day, and supervised her to drink as much sugar and salt water as possible, maybe it was alcohol that played a role in disinfection, or maybe Li Xiu's previous measures to deal with the wounds were very correct, so that Princess Pingyang's body recovered little by little, first she was awake for longer and longer, her spirit was getting better and better, and the wound also grew red and tender granules, and it seemed that there was hope for healing.

"Haha~, Lao Tzu really didn't look at the wrong person, boy, you are really amazing, I think you should simply ask Your Majesty to reward you with the title of 'the world's first miracle doctor'!" The princess's health gradually improved, and she summoned Ma Ye as soon as possible, but as soon as he came out, he hugged Li Xiu and shouted excitedly.

"Hehe, Uncle Ma, you have a discerning eye, naturally it is impossible to see the wrong person, but forget about the world's first miracle doctor, I don't want to encounter such a thing again!" Li Xiu first boasted to himself, and then rejected Ma Ye's proposal, this practice of medicine has exhausted him, and he doesn't want to have a next time anyway, and he is not sure that he will have such good luck next time.

"By the way, Uncle Ma, how is the war going outside the city, and when will the Turks retreat?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of the war outside the city at this time, and the current concern was that if the Turks did not retreat, it would also be a heavy burden to the Tang Dynasty, and if the other party entered the pass again, I am afraid that Chang'an would also be threatened.

Hearing Li Xiu ask about the war outside the city, Ma Ye immediately said with a heavy face: "The battle situation outside the city is not favorable to our Tang Dynasty, this time the Turks are determined to help Liu Heimin share the pressure, they attacked Guanzhong to implement the plan of encircling Wei to save Zhao, hoping to force the prince's army that pursued and killed Liu Heimin to withdraw, so from the beginning, they launched a fierce attack, fortunately, our women's army and the Tiance army of King Qin are not vegetarians, in the face of several times their own Turks, although we fought hard, but we can also persevere, However, my Datang national strength is empty, if it has been so deadlocked, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to hold on! ”

"Then what should I do, is there anything King Qin can do?" Li Xiu suddenly mentioned Li Shimin at this time, and the history books said that Li Shimin was almost invincible when he led the troops when he was young, so he also wanted to see how Li Shimin broke this unfavorable situation.

"I don't know about this, but now that the princess's body is recovering, King Qin should discuss the military situation with the princess at that time, but even if you hear it, you must treat it as if you didn't hear it, let alone spread it, otherwise it will be a big crime to kill your head!" Ma Ye told at this time that Li Xiu often had to treat Princess Pingyang, and it was inevitable that he would hear some military affairs, and he was worried that Li Xiu would not know the severity, so he specially advised.

"I understand, thank you Uncle Ma for reminding me!" Li Xiu said with a smile at the moment, he knew almost nothing about military affairs, he just wanted to know more about the safety of his family, and he also knew that leaking military information in the army was a big crime, so he wouldn't talk nonsense if he was killed.

Seeing that Li Xiu was so sensible, Ma Ye also nodded with satisfaction, but he only told Li Xiu not to spread what he heard, but he didn't tell him not to talk too much, but the next day, Li Xiu almost broke into a big disaster again.
