Chapter 036: The Critically Ill Prince of a Neighboring Country

"What? Pander to...... Miss, are you saying you can cure it now...... Is it a good old man's stubborn disease? ”

Prime Minister Dou was almost so excited that he was incoherent, and shouted loudly.

"Haha! He is worthy of being the chief imperial physician of my own family! It's too long for me! Good! All right! Now I'm at ease! Ha ha! ”

The emperor was also in a very happy mood and laughed.

"Prime Minister Dou, how can it be so fast? Miss Ah means that after giving you the antidote now, the symptoms of redness and swelling all over your body will disappear immediately. But it will take three days to cure your stubborn illness completely. General Ben understands correctly, right? ”

Seeing Prime Minister Dou Cheng so out of shape, General A also smiled bitterly, and enthusiastically replied to Ah Xiyan.

Speaking of which, he looked at Ah Xiyan again and asked.

"What General A said is that after you take this pill, the redness and swelling on your body will immediately subside, and after three days, you will be completely cured. Come, Prime Minister Dou, I'll help you get up first, take the pill and slow down, how about we continue to discuss? ”

Ah Xiyan poured out a pill from the small jade bottle, put it in Dou Chengxiang's somewhat trembling palm, and replied while helping him up.

"Hiss...... Oops......"

In the process of being supported by Ah Xiyan, Prime Minister Dou also grinned a little painfully, after all, at this moment, he would feel severe pain when he touched his whole body.

However, Prime Minister Dou Cheng still gritted his teeth and persevered, and did not push away anyone who was kind enough to support him as angry as before, obviously accepting A Xiyan in his heart, and also understanding that after taking A Xiyan's pill for a while, this stubborn disease that had tormented him all his life could finally be completely cured.

Therefore, in this good mood of expectation, there is no fear of this temporary severe pain.

This detail was also seen by the emperor and General A, they smiled at each other, and nodded very happily, obviously they had not seen Prime Minister Dou Cheng angry before, and no one was allowed to touch his angry appearance.

And now being able to endure severe pain and accept A Xiyan's kind support also shows that Prime Minister Dou has fully approved of A Xiyan, which is undoubtedly the outcome that the emperor and General A are happy to see.

Because in this way, the next major military affairs can be discussed smoothly.

"Miss Ah is right! Prime Minister Dou hurriedly sat down and took the pill before speaking. Otherwise, you itchy and numb will not have the intention to continue to discuss. ”

The emperor also said approvingly, and gave Prime Minister Dou a seat empatheticly.

"Thank you for the throne. Hiss...... Oops......"

Prime Minister Dou said gratefully, but when Ah Xiyan helped him sit down slowly, he couldn't help but let out a scream of pain.

After sitting down, Prime Minister Dou couldn't wait to swallow the pill that A Xiyan put in his palm.

At first, Prime Minister Dou thought that without water, he was afraid that this pill would be difficult to swallow, but to his surprise, this pill actually melted in his mouth and quickly slid down his throat.

At the same time, he felt that the originally tight skin of his whole body instantly eased, and the previous itchy and numb feeling was quickly gone, and an indescribable feeling of coolness and comfort spread throughout his body.

"Oh...... It's so comfortable! ”

Prime Minister Dou couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed.

"Your Majesty, look! Prime Minister Dou's face was still red and a little swollen just now, but now he has returned to normal just after taking the pill, and he can't see it at all! It deserves to be from the hands of a famous artist! It seems that in less than three days, Prime Minister Dou will be completely well! ”

When General A saw that Prime Minister Dou Cheng's originally red face was the same as usual, he also pointed at Dou Cheng in surprise and said to the emperor.

"Hmmm! And so it was! It seems that the master is still in the folk! It is said that famous teachers produce high apprentices, presumably although Miss A is young, this knowledge and experience, as well as medical skills, are far above the current wine bags and rice bags in the Tai Hospital. This position of chief physician is also her! Ha ha! ”

The emperor said with great approval.

Looking at Prime Minister Dou Cheng's side and taking care of him carefully, A Xiyan said with relief.

"My whole body is really red and swollen! That's great! This medicine is really a miracle medicine! Miss A, they all say that you don't thank you for your kindness, so your old man wrote it down. In front of the emperor, the old man promised you that if there is a place for the old man in the future, you can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the old man. The old man will definitely do his best to help you. Usually when he has nothing to do, he comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion to sit, and the old man will definitely treat him as a distinguished guest. ”

When Prime Minister Dou heard General A say this, he also quickly opened his eyes, looked at his hands, and immediately shouted excitedly.

looked at A Xiyan with a grateful face and said solemnly.

"Prime Minister Dou, what a lot of effort. Besides, this pill was refined by his old man after his teacher took Ah Xiyan to develop it together, and it was not Ah Xiyan's doing. just taught the secret recipe to Ah Xiyan. So Ah Xiyan didn't dare to be ashamed. If you really want to be grateful, you have to thank Ah Xiyan's mentor. It's a pity that his mentor unfortunately passed away last month, otherwise if his old man was here, he would be a veritable chief imperial doctor. ”

Ah Xiyan replied politely.

When talking about the non-existent teacher mentioned later, she also inadvertently remembered her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and her mood became a little sad again.

In fact, the pill she gave to Prime Minister Dou was not specifically designed to relieve the poison in Prime Minister Dou's body, but a universal antidote pill carefully refined by Ah Xiyan's adoptive father.

This small bottle of pill was originally used by Ah Xiyan's adoptive father to give Ah Xiyan a backup, although it could not completely remove the poison in her body, but it was more than enough for ordinary people to take it when they accidentally touched Ah Xiyan's skin and fell unconscious.

It can also resolve the symptoms of poisoning that ordinary people show after touching A Xiyan's sachet, which is the reason why she used the pills in this small jade bottle to detoxify the four princes before.

Since Ah Xiyan is born with a poisonous body, the poison in her body far exceeds those most poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, so this antidote that can alleviate the harm of her poison body to ordinary people is not a problem for treating the slight toxins in Dou Chengxiang's body.

It's just that Ah Xiyan can't tell the emperor the truth about all this, so she can only use her teacher's lies to cover up the truth.

Fortunately, her adoptive father told Ah Xiyan the secret recipe for making this pill, so in the future, as long as Ah Xiyan can gather all the medicinal materials, she can also refine them.

Of course, for Ah Xiyan, making this kind of antidote pill is nothing, her wish is to continue to improve and optimize on this basis, and finally develop an antidote that can completely remove the poison in her body is the ultimate goal.

"Miss Ah doesn't have to be too humble. It is said that since ancient times, geniuses have come out of young people, since you are from a famous teacher, and you are ice and snow smart, given time, it is only a matter of time before the blue is better than the blue. As for the immortal death of your mentor, it is indeed a pity, but for his old man, it will be a smile to have such a talented and intelligent apprentice as you to carry forward his medical skills. The old man was clumsy before, and he almost made your pearl dusty. At this moment, the old man has already convinced you to become the chief physician. In the future, if anyone dares to criticize Miss A's medical skills, the old man will not spare him first. ”

Dou Cheng was quite sad when he saw A Xiyan mention his teacher, and he also opened his mouth to comfort him.

released his suspicions on the spot, and obviously accepted A Xiyan, the youngest chief imperial doctor in history, from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha! All right! Prime Minister Dou Cheng can finally accept Miss A, the chief imperial physician of my own title, so the two Aiqing, should they get back to the discussion of military affairs? ”

Seeing that Prime Minister Dou Cheng no longer rejected Ah Xiyan's identity, the emperor also happily suggested.

"The old minister seconded the proposal."

Prime Minister Dou replied without objection.

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

General A also replied on the spot.

"Good! Since Miss A still doesn't know the specific reason for this discussion, and she can't express her position, then General A, you should tell Miss A about the border plague first, right? Then I will work with you to resolve the issue. ”

The emperor said briskly.

"Obey."

General Ah replied respectfully.

After that, General A looked at Ah Xiyan and told Ah Xiyan in detail about the top-secret news that was urgently transmitted back from the border gate 800 miles yesterday.

After listening to General A's statement, Ah Xiyan understood the ins and outs.

It turned out that the plague broke out in the army stationed at the border pass half a month ago, and more than half of them were killed and injured in just half a month, and the remaining half was also in the midst of survival.

Fortunately, the border pass was extremely remote, even the nearest town was hundreds of miles away, and there was a military camp stationed in the middle, so there was no crisis that spread to the town for the time being, which is why the news did not reach the town, and even spread throughout the country, causing panic.

However, the garrisons of the neighboring border passes, which are separated by a river from the border pass, did not have such a plague at first, and after learning of the outbreak of the plague in the garrison on the other side, they were complacent and watched the development of the situation from the other side.

He even tried to take advantage of the fall of all the soldiers here, intending to cross the river and occupy this vast land for himself.

Although this land is quite barren and not suitable for the construction of large towns, once the neighboring countries cross the river and occupy this land, and then build strong fortifications, it is equivalent to completely owning the river water that was originally shared by the two countries.

The upstream location of this great river is the lifeblood of the two countries, and the two countries will be safe and sound when they share it.

If it falls under the control of a neighboring country, it becomes extremely passive.

Even in time, after the neighboring countries build water conservancy projects and completely control the upper reaches of this great river, if they threaten to cut off the river, it is very likely that they will win without a fight and dominate the world.

Therefore, in order to prevent neighboring countries from taking advantage of the fire and looting and losing the land at the border pass, the garrison generals secretly sent soldiers who had the plague to smuggle across the river and successfully spread the plague to the military camps of neighboring countries.

So, a few days later, the same plague broke out in the garrisons of the border passes of neighboring countries. In this way, the other party has no intention of crossing the river to sneak attack the military camp here.

And the prince of the neighboring country, who has always been ambitious, happened to come to the border pass to inspect a long time ago, intending to take the opportunity to lead his troops across the river to take the land here, but he was too careless and contracted the plague and was in danger.

After the diagnosis and treatment of the other party's imperial doctor, it was found that this plague was an infectious disease related to an unknown virus, and there was no effective antidote at present.

As a result, the king of the neighboring country was furious! It is believed that the practice of smuggling people here to spread the plague is an act of deliberately poisoning the prince.

claimed that if the prince he cared about the most died at the border because of this, he would definitely mobilize the strength of the whole country and launch a full-scale war at all costs to avenge the prince!

Unless the antidote is sent to the border of the neighboring country and the prince is cured, he will shake hands and make peace, and maintain the status quo of the original rule across the river, otherwise he will fight to the end and seek justice!

And this is the reason why the emperor urgently summoned Prime Minister Dou Cheng, General A and Chief Imperial Physician A Xiyan to the imperial study for urgent discussion......
