207. Apprenticeship

He looked at her bulging belly and patted her head lovingly.

I have wronged you little fool, and when you give birth to a child, you will depend on you for whatever you want to eat. Not to mention ice cubes, it's the jade rabbit in the sky, as long as you want to eat it, you will do your best to catch it and braise it.

After dinner, Su Xiaojin put forward the prescription for the prince tomorrow. Now it is probably certain that the prince is poisoned, but it is still unknown what poison it is and what antidote should be used.

He summoned the ancient ballad and the bamboo spirit, and the three of them gathered around the room to read the medical books, trying to find some useful clues from them. After Tang Muchen finished his official business, he also joined them.

At this time, the four of them did not pay attention to the difference between master and servant, nor did they distinguish between high and low, sitting or lying on their stomachs, or tilting their heads, or standing in the candlelight, and each of them kept consulting information around a medical book that was more than one person high.

"Madame, what if we can't read it?" The old rumor finished another book in the blink of an eye, and still found nothing.

"Then, I have to go to the master and his old man and ask him to go out of the mountain." Su Xiaojin replied while looking down carefully.

In fact, even if she didn't ask the old rumors, she also thought that the worst result of this matter was nothing more than that she couldn't find the source of the disease, she couldn't match the antidote, the prince had no medicine to treat, and the emperor was furious and sent herself to prison. Or, he would kill himself to bury the prince.

Thinking like this, she remembered that it was not easy to practice medicine that her master often talked about, and she cherished it. Not all patients are grateful, and not all family members are grateful. They just try their best to rescue from the hands of death, and do their best to obey the destiny of heaven, and the rest can only depend on the patient's own creation.

Tang Muchen and Zhu Ling didn't speak, and still persistently flipped through them. The two of them had always been sensible, and they knew that this matter was not trivial. Moreover, Su Xiaojin presented the emperor in front of everyone, and he was confident that he was optimistic about the prince's illness. Now if she breaks her promise, won't she be truthful, and she will not be displeased, and she will not be punished for the crime of bullying the king.

The ancient rumors saw that they didn't agree, and they were embarrassed to say something that would dampen their morale, so they closed their mouths and continued to search obediently.

The room was quiet, quietly hearing everyone's breathing, quietly hearing the sound of wind and grass outside the window, and the quietness made Meng Shi suspect that they had all rested early.

Su Xiaojin looked at the flickering candlelight on the windowsill and looked far away.

She boasted in public today, not because she was stubborn. just knew that the prince's status was noble and related to the lifeblood of the country, so she couldn't sit idly by. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and she must also do her best.

Although she also knows that if she says too much, she will lose, and if she treats the prince well, it will not be a good thing, but if she is not cured, she will inevitably be ridiculed by the world. She doesn't care about her fame, fortune and status, but she cares about Tang Muchen's reputation, she doesn't want him to be ashamed because of herself, and she doesn't want him to be unable to hold his head up in the court.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Muchen's deep voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room.

"Jin'er, look, I found it." He held aloft a worn-out medical book and beckoned to Su Xiaojin with an irrepressible smile on his face.

Su Xiaojin was overjoyed, forgetting that she was pregnant, and ran to him desperately. Gu Yu was scared into a cold sweat and followed her closely to protect.

Tang Muchen was also very nervous, and only after making sure that she was safe did he put the book in the palm of her hand, but his eyes were slightly reproachful.

Su Xiaojin was so focused on the medical book that he cared about this. She flipped through it ecstatically, trying to verify that her guess was accurate.

"Tianxiang Pill, from the Western Regions, was first discovered by a person who practiced martial arts, this poison has a faint fragrance, smelling it pleasant, and never forgetting. In the early stage, the volatilization of toxicity is slow, and it is not easy for people who are poisoned to notice, and they just snooze. In the middle stage, the patient is cold and lethargic. In the later stage, the poison enters the bone marrow, and there is no cure. She couldn't help but read aloud excitedly. Isn't this symptom exactly the same as that of the prince?

Gu Yu and Zhu Ling also nodded happily, but no, the prince is afraid of the cold and can't wake up. Now that I've finally found the root of the disease, the next step is to take medicine.

Tang Muchen couldn't be happy, there was no way to crack this poison in the book, and Su Xiaojin still didn't have a clear direction.

Su Xiaojin is also aware of this problem. But there are only a few strokes, but there is no mention of how to crack it. Even if she found it, it wouldn't make much difference.

"Madam, what medicine do we need to prepare?" Gu Yu was still immersed in the joy of finding it, thinking that he could help his wife grind medicine, and said eagerly.

Su Xiaojin smiled bitterly, she also wanted to know what medicine to prepare next. It's a pity that there is no record in the ancient books, how can this be good.

Fortunately, she is a top student in medical school, and she has a teacher to protect her body, so she will definitely be able to help her solve her difficulties.

"Next, we're going to sleep. I'll do the rest tomorrow. Su Xiaojin announced with a smile.

The ancient rumor and the bamboo spirit are puzzled, since the cause of the prince is already known, let's start preparing now, why wait until tomorrow? Knowing that time doesn't wait for anyone, in case the prince has an accident, how can this be good.

Su Xiaojin smiled, she knew what these two clever ghosts were thinking. Rest assured, she knows what to expect. She doesn't want to be beheaded by the emperor yet, she still has a lot of things to do.

Under Su Xiaojin's urging, the two of them turned around and walked away step by step. Tang Muchen, who was alone in front of the windowsill, quietly put away the books. These medical books are Su Xiaojin's treasures, and they are priceless treasures, he doesn't dare to be careless.

"How are you going to find it?" He looked at Su Xiaojin, who was not in a hurry, and guessed that she must have an idea, otherwise she would not be so happy.

In fact, it is true that Su Xiaojin is ready to hand over this problem to his mentor in medical school. He has always liked to delve into his studies, and he handed over this rare medical record to him, isn't it exactly what he likes.

This night, Su Xiaojin crossed over again, and she took advantage of the dead of night around her to put the notebook with the medical record on the teacher's desk unconsciously.

Tang Muchen smiled, admiring Su Xiaojin's ingenuity even more, she is very good at using space to solve problems. Not only is the time fast, but the accuracy is also extremely high.

Late at night, the two took care of everything before they hugged each other and fell asleep.

Tang Muchen looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and he didn't feel sleepy. He hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, and his heart was heavy.

"Are you afraid?" After a long time, he asked softly, as if asking a beautiful woman, and as if asking himself in a muffled voice.

"You're here, don't be afraid." Su Xiaojin replied in the affirmative. His trust is the driving force for him to move forward, and even if the road to practicing medicine is bumpy, he will not back down.

Tang Muchen felt a warm current in his heart, and his hands unconsciously hugged tighter.
