As soon as he heard the emperor's decree, the guards at the door turned their eyes over, but Imperial Physician Liu still turned a deaf ear, and his steps became faster and faster.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ningzi's evil breath became more and more intense.

Everyone else heard it, but you didn't hear it, didn't you hear it, didn't it mean it?!

"The emperor has decreed that Imperial Physician Liu will enter the palace immediately, why don't you hurry up and stop Imperial Physician Liu? Do you want to resist the decree?! ”

Xiao Ningzi didn't have the strength to pull Imperial Doctor Liu back, so he could only stare at him and shout loudly at the guards beside him.

"This ......"

The guards glanced at each other, and then looked at the back of Imperial Physician Liu, who was walking faster and faster, the person in charge gritted his teeth and nodded, and naturally someone under his command went up to "invite" Imperial Physician Liu back.

After all, Imperial Physician Liu is already old, no matter how fast his legs and feet are, he can't catch up with the strong guards, seeing that the guards have caught up with him, he can only sigh and stop helplessly.

Doctor Liu thought it was just because he didn't hear it...... Just now, Gonggong Ning, who was next to the emperor, came to pass the decree, saying that the emperor urgently summoned Imperial Doctor Liu, Imperial Doctor Liu, you better hurry up and go to the imperial study to see the driver! ”

The guard also had a flattering smile on his face, for fear that Imperial Doctor Liu would be angry.

"This ......"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Doctor Liu's face.

"Imperial Doctor Liu, the minion doesn't even know if your ears are good or bad!"

At this time, Xiao Ningzi finally rushed over from behind out of breath, grabbed Imperial Doctor Liu's clothes, and shouted out out of breath: "You, you better hurry up and go with the slave to meet the driver!" ”

"Father-in-law Ning, I don't know if the emperor is calling, but what's the urgency?"

Imperial Physician Liu's eyes also flashed with eagerness: "At present, the eldest prince's condition has been temporarily controlled, and there will be no danger to his life for a while, if there is no too urgent matter on the emperor's side, can you allow this official to hurry back to the house to visit?" The official's daughter-in-law is giving birth at the moment, and I heard that something is not good, so the family hurriedly came to spread the word......"

"Ouch, my Imperial Doctor Liu!"

Xiao Ningzi also frowned, and looked at Imperial Physician Liu with some "heartache": "Look at what you said, this is the emperor's holy decree, don't say that the emperor has something to do, even if he only asks you to enter the palace to accompany the emperor to say a few words, you can't hurry?" This companion is like a tiger, not to mention that the emperor's mood is not very good now, why do you bother to touch this mold! ”

"It's not that the official wants to touch the emperor's bad head, it's just that people's lives are at stake, and Father-in-law Ning ......"

Imperial Physician Liu was about to open his mouth to explain, but Xiao Ningzi waved his hand and interrupted the conversation.

"Although the slave didn't know what the emperor had summoned, the slave thought that it was because of smallpox...... Oh yes, not long ago, Lord Chen Pingzhi also entered the palace overnight, and now even the eldest princess Jingyuan is in the imperial study, the emperor must have a big deal looking for you! ”

After a pause, Xiao Ningzi persuaded bitterly: "The slave knows that you are worried about your family, but if you leave this palace gate today, it is still unknown whether other family members will be able to live well tomorrow...... Doctor Liu, at such a critical moment, you must not be confused! ”

"Alas!"

After a moment of silence, Imperial Physician Liu closed his eyes, and immediately two lines of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks.

"That's it, this is fate!"

Imperial Physician Liu looked up to the sky and sighed, took a deep breath, and arched his hand at Xiao Ningzi: "This official will go with his father-in-law to see the driver, but can the father-in-law allow him to see his family below and give him a few words?" ”

Hearing that Imperial Physician Liu didn't want to leave, Xiao Ningzi was also relieved.

After all, Imperial Physician Liu is an official, and he is just a minion, so there is no need to have to worry about Imperial Physician Liu, right?

Thinking about this, Xiao Ningzi nodded: "It's just that I'm bothering Doctor Liu faster, I'm afraid the emperor is already in a hurry......"

Imperial Physician Liu nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked a few steps quickly, came to the gate of the palace in the outer city, and whispered to the old butler who was waiting outside in a hurry with a majestic face: "The situation in the palace is not optimistic now, and now that the emperor is urgently summoned, it seems that this official will not be able to go back tonight...... You go to the palace of the imperial physician and find the imperial physician to sit in the town, and the stable woman is also used in our mansion, so I expect to be fine...... Go and tell the lady and the young lady, just say that I am ashamed of them, turn back, and I will definitely apologize to them when I turn back! ”

Then he was ruthless and strode back to the palace.

"Oh, Imperial Doctor Liu, please ...... here"

Seeing that Imperial Physician Liu had really returned, Xiao Ningzi was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, but no matter how Xiao Ningzi opened his mouth to comfort him along the way, Imperial Physician Liu did not speak, looking preoccupied.

"Imperial Doctor Liu, the slave only knows that your daughter-in-law is giving birth at the moment, but there is always a priority in this matter, right? This grandson will have it in the future, and besides, what you are doing now is also a great thing of great merit, maybe this will also accumulate blessings for your unborn grandson? ”

Xiao Ningzi thought about it, but still opened his mouth to persuade him.

I thought that I would say this sentence out of kindness, but I didn't expect it to directly make Doctor Liu burst into tears.

"Grandson, grandson, father-in-law, what you said is light, but do you know that my daughter-in-law is the daughter of my old friend, and before my old friend died, I swore in front of him that I would treat her well, and then directly married the daughter of my old friend to my eldest son!"

"But this child is not blessed, what my daughter-in-law is now carrying in her belly is my son's posthumous son, if so, if my daughter-in-law has a mistake tonight, then, then my wife and I will experience another human tragedy of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person! When I go underground one day, how can I have the face to see my old friends, my son, my daughter-in-law, and the child in my belly who has not yet seen the light of day?! ”

Doctor Liu seemed to have suddenly found an emotional outlet, crying as he walked, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances in his heart.

"This ......"

At this moment, even Xiao Ningzi couldn't come back to his senses, and secretly blamed himself in his heart, why didn't he even know the news that Imperial Doctor Liu's eldest son was no longer alive?

But it's really sad to say, hopefully...... Tonight, the young lady of Liu's Mansion can give birth safely, and the mother and child are safe!

Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to speak indiscriminately anymore, so the two of them had their own thoughts, and soon came to the door of the imperial study.

"Wechen knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

As soon as he entered the door of the imperial study, Imperial Physician Liu quickly adjusted his mentality, and the rest of the people knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

"Liu Aiqing, hurry up!"

When Chu Lingyu saw Imperial Physician Liu, he also hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came to Imperial Doctor Liu so late because Master Chen Pingzhi said that he had found a way to treat smallpox, but I don't know if this method works, and I want to discuss it with you......"

In a few words, Chu Lingyu told what happened to this incident.

Hearing that it was really for smallpox, Imperial Physician Liu took a deep breath, turned slightly towards Chen Pingzhi, and said respectfully: "I don't know what kind of method Lord Chen said?" If smallpox can be cured, it will be a great thing of great merit......"

"Ahem, Imperial Physician Liu, after all, I am a layman, I would like to ask, when you treat smallpox, what kind of methods do you use to treat smallpox? What is the approximate survival rate? ”

Chen Pingzhi also took a step forward, and did not directly answer Imperial Doctor Liu's words, but raised his own questions.

"Lord Hui Chen, usually use a herb called 'Rhizome', with the envoys of the monarch and the minister, the angelica, etc., and the amount is increased or decreased according to each person's pulse...... Well, as for the survival rate......"

Speaking of this, Imperial Physician Liu paused, touched his beard with his hand, glanced at Chu Lingyu cautiously, and then said in a lower voice: "This survival rate is only 12 out of 10, but this is already very high, and as long as you have smallpox, you will never get it again in the future, as for the reason, please forgive the incompetence of the officials, I don't know it yet......"

After listening to Imperial Physician Liu's words, Chen Pingzhi still had no expression, but Jing Yuan and Chu Lingyu's hearts had already been raised high.

Ten or two, this probability is simply too low, who can guarantee whether the eldest prince is in this or two, or in the remaining eight or nine?

"I don't know what Master Chen wants to say? Whether it is useful or not, we must always give it a try, if it is really useful, even if it only increases the survival rate by 12 tenths, it is also the merit of Lord Chen......

Seeing that Chen Pingzhi didn't know what he was doing, and he also knew that his words made the emperor and Princess Jingyuan feel uncomfortable, Imperial Physician Liu could only reintroduce this topic to Chen Pingzhi.

"Oh, that's right."

Chen Pingzhi pursed his lips, raised his head, and looked at Imperial Doctor Liu with a serious face: "Actually, I have a discovery, that is, people who raise cows will not get smallpox at all!" So I had such a bold guess in my heart, of course, I don't know if this idea is right or not, but I always feel that there may be something in this cow that can resist smallpox......"

"On the cow?"

This not only made Imperial Doctor Liu stunned for a moment, but even Jing Yuan and Chu Lingyu were stunned.

"Chen Aiqing, what evidence do you have for what you say? That cow ...... It's just livestock, and how can it be compared to people? ”

Chu Lingyu frowned, and also looked at Chen Pingzhi with a stunned expression, feeling the word "unreliable" on Chen Pingzhi for the first time.

"Your Majesty, Fang Caichen also said that this is just a guess by the minister...... But Chen thinks that the possibility is very high! ”

Chen Ping said with a straight look: "All things in this heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing, even if it is smallpox, there must be something to restrain it!" These flowers, birds, fish and insects can all be used in medicine, why can't cows? So this test of the minister, the name is called, Cowpox! ”
