Chapter 12: The Secret of the Royal Family (II)

The Witch Doctor's Mansion, the Holy Physician Daochen ordered the recall of all the disciples of the Witch Doctor's Mansion, this man who had passed the age of not being confused, looked extremely tired at the moment, a gray robe full of wrinkles, his eyes were deeply sunken, his eyes were a little dazed, his white beard was messy, and he barely straightened his waist and sat on the Taishi chair in the main hall. The chief witch doctor, Mao Shan, was taking the roll call according to the book, with a stern expression and a pair of eagle eyes sweeping through everyone, giving people a sense of urgency.

"Tsuna..."

"Tsuna... What about people? Why hasn't it arrived yet? The tone of blame made people worry about Yan Xun.

The witch doctors waiting in the main hall were silent, and Mao Shan swept past everyone one by one, and when he walked to the end of the row, he still didn't see the figure of Yan Xun, shook his hand and walked towards the Holy Physician Daochen, bent down and said, "Holy Physician, it's just one person, let's start first."

"Don't be in a hurry, wait for him", the Taoist replied without hurrying or slowing.

As soon as everyone heard this, many people began to whisper to each other, although they all knew that the Holy Physician was very fond of this little apprentice, but it was also too public, and it was inevitable that it would cause a lot of gossip.

"Master, I'm back", he walked into the main hall.

"Why is it so late"? , Mao Shan asked angrily.

"There are some things delayed on the road, please forgive me", Yan Xun replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, take a seat", Yao Daochen stood up, took a step forward, raised his eyes to look at everyone, and solemnly announced: "From today on, you will all stay in the witch doctor's mansion and be on standby at any time, and the specific matters will be arranged by Mao Shan, you can clean up and follow me into the palace."

Everyone was stunned, wondering if this was saying that at this point, the witch doctor's mansion was up to him to take the lead?

Yao Daochen didn't pay attention to it, and after speaking, he motioned for Yu Xun to retreat with him.

"Master, is there something going on?"

"The master will tell you later, how did you do it?"

"Well, the medicine has been retrieved, and I also said it on my brother's side, but it doesn't seem to change his mind."

"That's it, I believe that the Great Priest has his own measure," he said, and walked into the medicine house with Yan Xun.

"Xun'er, the princess is going to give birth in the next few days...", the Taoist said as if recalling: "If I still can't protect Her Royal Highness this time, then I can only apologize with death...".

Xun Xun was a little puzzled, and was about to ask, but he didn't want to Daochen waved his hand to make a stop action, "Xun'er, over the years, you have done my best to pass on my medical skills, just the same, you are too young, the medicine is bold, occasionally miraculous but also very risky, it is better to be cautious in the future", looked at Yan Xun lovingly, and then said: "I tell you a secret, a secret about the royal family, that is when the first princess was still alive, one day, she announced that I entered the palace and showed me a dossier, which is the record of the previous holy witch doctor, It is said that the princesses of the past dynasties must be girls, all died after childbirth, the cause of death is unknown, in order to solve the puzzle, I was ordered to investigate and seek a way to solve it. At the same time, I was asked to concoct drugs for contraception, but after a few years there was no progress, and in desperation, the princess ordered me to continue the matter and asked me to concoct a recipe for her to conceive multiple babies at a time, wanting to leave one more heir. After Fang Zi succeeded, Wang Nu successfully conceived twin sons, which are now Wang Nu and King Kang. On the day of delivery, I waited by the side, after the first princess gave birth, her body was weak, her breath was disordered, her blood was churning, her whole body was red, and her high fever did not go away. Before she died, the princess told me not to give up, maybe she didn't need it, but her heirs might be able to use it. It's a pity that I finally took on the first princess, and I haven't been able to find a way to crack it, and in the future, this important task will be entrusted to you as a teacher", Yao Daochen looked at Yan Xun with a look of expectation, and when he saw that Yan Xun was surprised, he approached and patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "However, I have deeply studied the reasons for the death of the first princess, and I conclude that it is because of the high fever that causes people to lose harmony in their five organs, unable to eat, unable to eat, unable to breathe, unable to sleep at night, and dying of exhaustion, so there will be no mistake in starting at this point, but there has been no substantial progress in the past 20 years", speaking of this, The look of shame was not hidden, and he seemed to be a little choked, "Xun'er, if there is an accident as a teacher, you will inherit my will and find a way to solve it." ”

Yan Xun had never seen Daochen like this, looking at it and scratching his heart, he bit his thin lip and said firmly: "Master, I... I don't know if I'll find a cure... But I promise you will never give up".

Yao Daochen looked at Yu Xun with relief and smiled, patted him on the shoulder again, and was immediately relieved.

Neither of the master and apprentice spoke again, and each fiddled with the medicinal herbs in their hands.

"Xun'er, blood ginseng can be ground into powder...", Yao Daochen explained.

"Yes, master".

"You look at the rest and prepare, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs in the palace."

"Okay, I got it".

Almost half a day passed, and the master and apprentice of the Taoist Emperor roughly ate the dinner and carried the medicine box into the palace gate.
