Chapter 42: The Stratagem (2)

As soon as he entered the prince's palace, a group of people had already heard the news and immediately surrounded the prince to carry him in, and Dai Qing was carried to the next hall, accompanied by several female palace people. Everyone panicked, not knowing how the emperor and empress would punish them if they found out. So the eunuchs carefully changed the prince's clean and warm cotton clothes, the palace maids boiled hot water, and those who took the mattress and quilts hurriedly brought thick mattresses and quilts, and some hurriedly brought charcoal stoves and put them in front of the prince's bed, some hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook ginger soup, and some hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and everyone all wore stiff faces and did not smile. The hall next door was also a busy mess, so she first changed Dai Qing's clothes, covered her with a thick quilt, and brought a hot stove nearby. Several eunuchs kept rubbing Liu Ying's hands. Andelu Anshe people are so frightened that they are shivering now, the prince was already weak, but now he jumped into the nullah to save Dai Qing, his body is even weaker, the prince will go to Helan tomorrow, how can this be explained to the emperor and queen? The anxious Andelu kept scratching his ears and cheeks, walking back and forth in the main hall, looking back and forth at the figure of the imperial doctor outside the hall, but none of them came.

Suddenly, a little eunuch shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cramps, Grandpa An come and see!" ”

An Delu ran to the prince in one step, and saw that the prince was convulsed all over his body, and as soon as An Delu touched the hot and cold situation on the prince's forehead, he hurriedly asked someone to hold down the place where the prince was convulsed, and turned back to the palace people who were busy in the palace and yelled, "Tie up the imperial doctor!" Come on! A eunuch hurriedly went out of the palace to urge the imperial doctor, and the eunuch rubbed shoulders into a female palace person, it was the palace man of the prince's palace Du Juan brought hot water from outside, wet the cloth towel and twisted it, put it on the prince's forehead, looking at the prince's still convulsions, the cuckoo skillfully suggested that everyone quickly rub the prince's body to keep warm, and everyone kept rubbing the prince's arms, legs, and chest.

"Where's the ginger soup?" The cuckoo called loudly to the palace people who were cooking ginger soup, and a small palace maid who was not good-looking came in from outside, came in with ginger soup in both hands and handed it to the cuckoo, the cuckoo blew the slightly hot ginger soup, and fed it to the prince with a small spoon, and the prince twitched and spit out all the ginger soup that came into his mouth. Seeing that it couldn't be done, the cuckoo simply put the ginger soup on a few tables, leaned a clean cloth towel on the prince's neck, and buried his head in the prince's heart to listen.

"Use moxibustion!" Only then did Du Juan remember that moxibustion could save people who were drowning, and calmly said to An Delu. At first, Andelu looked at her in a hurry, his eyebrows were full of distrust, his throat was dry, he didn't know what to do, he was not very familiar with the cuckoo, he didn't know that she understood this, and he didn't know if the cuckoo's method was useful, but he hesitated for a while. The cuckoo asked again, and Anderlu ordered someone to hurry up. Everyone hurried to find Ai Ye. The cuckoo told the eunuchs to get up, leaving Andelu, the cuckoo got up in front of the prince's head, pinched his people, still did not wake up, pressed it a few times in a row, and still did not respond. At this time, the two eunuchs found moxa and handed it to the people of the Du Palace who seemed to be commanding thousands of troops at this time. The cuckoo asked An Delu to lift the prince's clothes, revealing the part of the navel, and everyone was a layman who looked at the cuckoo's treatment with disbelief, and they all held their breath and concentrated. Several female palace people who accompanied Dai Qing also came here to watch the treatment of the cuckoo, and the cuckoo lit the moxa sticks and smoked them around the prince's navel.

An Delu was really puzzled, so he asked, "Is Du Gongren's method sure to be useful?" The cuckoo didn't care about the words of the Anshe people, so he continued to smoke the moxa stick in one hand, and turned his head to the several female palace people who accompanied Dai Qing and said, "You do what I do, go and save Dai Qing, if Dai Qing does not wake up, he has been smoking around this place, and he must not stop, if he stops, he will definitely die." Several palace people nodded, and after learning the cuckoo's practice, they rushed to treat Dai Qing.

At this time, Imperial Physician Qin and Imperial Physician Song hurriedly rushed over, and before they had time to rest, they turned into two steps and ran to the prince's bed, put down the medicine box, and saw that the cuckoo was already being treated, so they nodded with a smile and praise. Everyone scattered and asked Imperial Physician Qin to take the pulse of the prince, and Imperial Physician Song went to the inner hall next to him to treat Dai Qing. An Delu asked Imperial Physician Qin about the prince's situation again, and Imperial Physician Qin breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the cuckoo who was doing moxibustion for the prince, and said to An Delu, "The girl's approach is timely and correct, although His Royal Highness the prince's pulse is weak, but there will be no worries about his life." An Delu seemed to let go of the stone in his heart, stroked his chest, and only then did his face show a hint of relaxation.

"His Royal Highness's heart is still warm, with moxibustion in the umbilicus, dozens of strong that is, if not Su, even moxibustion to more than 100 strong, all live, must not be stopped, extremely tested. This is written in the medical book, and the cuckoo has learned a little. Cuckoo said.

An Delu looked at Imperial Physician Qin suspiciously, but Imperial Physician Qin nodded approvingly, "Moxibustion warms the meridians, dissipates stasis and dissolves knots, replenishes the middle and nourishes qi, and the people of Du Gong do a good job." An Delu looked at the cuckoo again, he didn't pay much attention to this cuckoo in the prince's hall before, it turned out that this person was deeply hidden. After about half a moment, I saw that the prince's convulsions slowly weakened, and finally calmed down, and everyone covered their chests to catch their breath. It had been smoked for a while, but the prince still hadn't woken up, and everyone was a little anxious. Du Juan was not affected, and still insisted on doing moxibustion for the prince unswervingly, and after a while, Liu Ying's hand moved as if holding something, and coughed slightly.

Seeing that the crown prince was slightly relieved, everyone hurriedly gathered around and shouted, "Your Highness—Your Highness—." An Delu held the prince's hand and cried with joy, "Your Royal Highness the prince, you have finally woken up, and you have scared the old slave to death." ”

The cuckoo continued to smoke, and the prince did not really wake up, but was only reacted by moxibustion, and the prince did not hear Andelu's words. Imperial Physician Qin saw the prince's symptoms, so he went to the side of a few cases to write a prescription, and the prince handed it over to Du Juan with confidence.

Everyone was in joy, and two people came in front of the hall one after the other, it was Liu Bang and Lu Hou, and they were all shocked after receiving the news that the prince had fallen into the water. The two of them seemed to follow each other together, and after entering the hall, they hurriedly walked to their son's bed. Everyone immediately held their breath and didn't dare to look at the emperor and queen, so they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, kneeling on the ground. Where can Liu Bang and Empress Lu take care of etiquette at this time, so they rushed to their son's couch in a panic, and everyone got up and stood on both sides.

Liu Bang saw Liu Ying lying on the couch as if he was unconscious, and hurriedly pounced on him and touched his forehead and patted his face, his whole body was like ice, and immediately a burst of anger rushed to his head, and he turned his head and asked sharply, "What happened to the prince?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak, and they all moved their eyes to Andelu, and Andelu didn't dare to speak. In the end, the cuckoo who smoked moxibustion for the prince said bluntly, "The prince fell into the water." ”

Liu Bang was about to scold if he didn't reduce his anger, but before the words came out, Empress Lu hurriedly came to see his son, touched his son's hand coldly, and immediately wanted to cry, "What's wrong with the prince?" Is there a big deal? Imperial Doctor Qin said that it was fine, but he still needed to smoke it, saying that this time fortunately there was a cuckoo, and the prince's life was safe, and Empress Lu exhaled a sigh of relief.

"If something happens to the prince, you will all be buried together!" Liu Bang stood up, waved his wide robe and big sleeves, and was furious at everyone in the hall.

Lu Hou hurriedly got up and stroked Liu Bang's chest, and said with a slight cry, "Your Majesty can't say this, the prince is fine, Imperial Doctor Qin is here, everything is fine." Liu Bang exhaled heavily, looked at the cuckoo who smoked moxibustion for the prince, and looked at the prince quietly, waiting for the prince to wake up.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the prince to wake up, slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that everything in front of him was getting clearer and clearer, and saw everyone looking around him, and for a while, he looked around everyone as if he was probing, remembering that he was saving Dai Qing and falling into the water. When Du Juan saw that the prince had finally woken up, he stopped moxibustion, covered the prince with a quilt, and stood aside.
