Chapter 5: The Mansion of the King of Shu

Hundreds of miles away, Mei Xue and the others only took less than three days, just after noon, and arrived in Chengdu.

The people of the Shu Wangfu have long been waiting at the gate of the city, Peng Liang is the personal guard of Li Jinzhi, the eldest prince of the palace, he is already haggard, and when he sees Xiao Yan, he choked up and almost cried.

Xiao Yan was taken aback, jumped off the horse and grabbed Peng Liang's collar and asked:

"Why do you look like this? How is my cousin? ”

Peng Liang cried so much that he couldn't speak, and the entourage next to him looked at Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyang in horror and said:

"The eldest prince has been asleep for several days, and he has not eaten water and rice in the past two days."

Xiao Yan was so anxious and angry that he didn't care about talking to Peng Liang anymore, so he hurriedly turned back to Mei Xue and said:

"Miss Mei, go and save my cousin."

Peng Liang and the entourage of the palace were all surprised, and they couldn't believe that such a young girl was the miracle doctor that Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyang had taken great pains to invite back.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Mei Xue didn't speak, only bowed her head slightly and followed Xiao Yan into the city.

In the afternoon, when the streets were bustling, the iron horses of the palace galloped by, and the news spread quickly.

After the discussion, most people shook their heads and sighed:

"There is no way to do it in the palace, otherwise how could you invite a female doctor to come back, and she is still so young."

"Isn't there just no way? Even the imperial doctor in the capital has come many times, and there is no way. ”

"It's a pity that the princess has a piece of her beloved son's heart, and she goes around asking God and worshiping Buddha for the eldest prince."

The palace of the King of Shu was so quiet and depressing, Mei Xue followed Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyang directly to Zhizhuyuan, where Li Jinzhi lived.

The green bamboo is swaying, and the bright spring light spreads on the branches and leaves, and the green is dazzling.

Xiao Yan almost rushed into the main room, Mei Xue followed him quickly, Shen Qingyang followed Mei Xue, still didn't speak, and when he arrived at the door of the bedroom, he ordered a maid with a cold face:

"You, go and invite the prince over immediately."

The maid nodded hurriedly, and hurried out.

The room was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and Mei Xue saw a middle-aged lady first.

Hearing Xiao Yan call the lady "aunt", Mei Xue knew that she was the princess of Shu.

She looked less than forty years old, her face was very haggard, her clothes were plain, and she did not wear hairpin rings, probably because she had been crying for a long time, and her eyes were visibly red and swollen.

Princess Shu was obviously surprised by Mei Xue's youth, but she was only stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and said to Mei Xue politely:

"Girl, come and see me, as long as there is a way, whatever I am asked to do, you just have to speak."

Mei Xue saluted Princess Shu, didn't care about speaking, cleaned her hands and walked to the bed.

Seeing Li Jinzhi for the first time, Mei Xue was surprised for a moment.

The black hair is like ink, and under the excessively pale skin, you can faintly see the cyan blood vessels.

But even so, the sleeping young man still couldn't hide his face.

Junxiu is clean, like green bamboo after rain.

Sitting on the brocade stool next to the bed, Mei Xue reached out and lifted the thin quilt, and untied the white undershirt on Li Jin's upper body.

The dark red marks dotted almost all over Li Jinzhi's upper body, especially on his chest and abdomen.

Large areas of skin discoloration on the joints of the arms and legs.

This is the result of repeated rashes over the years.

Mei Xue couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart, she had seen too many such patients in her previous life, and many people couldn't bear it, so they would agree to use hormones, and even beg the doctor to overdose them.

It's just because the heart-eating itch is really unbearable.

She couldn't imagine how Li Jinzhi in front of her had resisted for more than ten years.

Afraid of affecting Mei Xue's diagnosis, Xiao Yan closed his mouth and said nothing, Princess Shu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and only shed tears silently.

Shen Qingyang put his hands behind his back and looked at Mei Xue with a cold expression.

She didn't diagnose Li Jinzhi's pulse first like other doctors, but only stared at Li Jinzhi's chest and watched it repeatedly.

pressed lightly with his fingers repeatedly, and even lowered his head, the tip of his nose almost touched Li Jinzhi's skin.

Xiao Yan was so nervous that he was about to suffocate, and when he saw Mei Xue start to cover Li Jinzhi with a shirt and a brocade quilt, he asked Mei Xue with a trembling voice:

"Miss Mei, what do you see? Can my cousin's illness be cured? ”

Mei Xue didn't speak, went to clean her hands again, and then stood by the bed without saying a word.

Li Jinzhi is not tuberculosis as rumored by the outside world at all, and it can even be said that he is not sick at all.

He just had a foreign body in his left lung, and it had been too long since he had grown with flesh and blood. There must have been metal on the foreign body, and it took a long time for him to have a fever and go to the clinic.

So much so that he coughed up blood frequently and was identified by the doctor as tuberculosis.

What shocked Mei Xue was that Li Jinzhi began to get sick after the age of five, and the foreign body was quite large, and it was impossible for a five-year-old child to swallow it.

Unless someone forces him.

Thinking of this, Mei Xue raised her eyes and looked at Princess Shu.

The noblewoman, who had just reached middle age, was a little haggard, and looked at her with sadness in her eyes and pleading.

Mei Xue pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and still didn't say a word.

Although she lives in a secluded countryside, she has heard about the affairs of the palace.

Li Jinzhi is almost twenty years old, but the king of Shu still refuses to ask him for the title of prince, and there is a lot of discussion among the people.

Therefore, she can't say anything now, she has to wait until the King of Shu appears, and she has to see the attitude of the King of Shu towards Li Jinzhi before she can decide whether she should tell the truth or not, and how much she can say.

She hadn't experienced the gore in the deep house, but the memory that Qiao Anyi left her was enough to make her toss and turn for many nights.

A faint fragrance hit, and the King of Shu hurried over, followed by a bright and moving beauty.

The posture is slender, the thin waist is unbearable, the face is like a peach blossom in spring, and the swaying posture is alive when walking.

Princess Shu's face froze for a moment, but she still immediately saluted King Shu.

The King of Shu didn't look at Princess Shu, he only waved his hand casually, and his eyes were always on Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue.

The beautiful woman saluted Princess Shu gently, even if her eyes were red, the charm of the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not be concealed.

Princess Shu wiped her tears, personally helped the beautiful woman and said:

"My sister is also very hard to serve the prince, and she doesn't have to be so polite."

A smile flashed on the beautiful woman's delicate face, and she personally helped Princess Shu and invited her to sit down beside King Shu, while she stood beside King Shu and looked at Mei Xue gently.

From the moment the beautiful woman entered the door, Xiao Yan drooped his face and stopped talking, but Shen Qingyang was still the same as before, standing like a stone man with a cold face.

The King of Shu looked at Mei Xue for a while before he asked in a deep voice:

"What do you see?"

Mei Xue pursed her lips, saluted the King of Shu, and said neatly:

"Let's not talk about what kind of disease the son is, let's talk about the two ways to treat this disease.

First, conservative treatment, decoction, acupuncture, Minnu can ensure that Gongzi wakes up and is no longer excessively painful, but it can only delay Gongzi's life, at most until the end of this summer. ”

Second, with radical treatment methods, if it fails, Childe will not survive a stick of incense. If it is successful, it only takes another three or two months to recuperate, and the son will be no different from ordinary people in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Mei Xue raised her eyes, looked directly at the King of Shu and said:

"If the prince wants to use the second method, the folk girl needs the prince to write a warrant to pardon the innocence of the folk girl, otherwise the folk girl will not be able to heal the son."

At this moment, even Shen Qingyang was moved by Mei Xue's boldness, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Xiao Yan was so shocked that he stumbled and almost fell, seeing that the king of Shu had already thrown the tea cup in his hand in anger, he hurriedly rushed forward and knelt down, begging the king of Shu and saying:

"Please calm my uncle's anger, Miss Mei is a person of true temperament, there is only one thing to say, besides, my cousin has arrived in such a field, please take care of it more for the sake of the deceased aunt."

Mei Xue still looked calm, and refused to even kneel, only looked at the Shu King and his wife and the surprised beautiful woman lightly, and then lowered her eyes again and remained silent.

She is actually sure that she can cure Li Jinzhi's illness, but the first thing she needs to ensure is her own interests, at least she must ensure her own safety.

If the king of Shu could not accept her terms, she would leave, or use conservative methods to let Li Jinzhi hold out for a few more months.

If the King of Shu is willing to accept her harsh demands, it proves that Li Jinzhi's status in his heart is not low.

In this case, at least until Li Jinzhi's illness is cured, the king of Shu will not unload the mill and kill the donkey on her.

Since Li Jinzhi grew up with the first emperor in the palace, the person who dares to do it to him and has the ability to do it to him must be the most expensive of the nobles.

Therefore, if she reveals the truth, she may cause an uproar in the palace and even the palace.

Therefore, she needs this dominant figure in the Shu Mansion to give her a certain degree of protection.
