Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 84 Awakening
The willow trees in the imperial garden suffered.Originally by the lake in the garden, many poplars and willows were planted.In summer, the majesty caresses gently.The shadows of willows whirling in shadows are very interesting.But this day, Muying led a group of strong guards like wolves and tigers, like bandits entering the village, and brutally stripped all the bark of the willow tree.Only the poplars were left shivering facing the willow partner who had no clothes.

The bandits rushed through the palace with several large bundles of willow bark, and soon returned to the Qianqing Palace.Muying worried that the stripped willow bark would not be fresh enough to be used, so she cut down a willow tree and carried it back. It was thrown to the ground with a bang, and the glazed tiles on the cornices rattled with a loud sound.

The imperial physicians had been in front of the hall earlier, staring at a pile of hard and dry willow bark in a daze: This thing needs to be squeezed out of juice?How can it be?

However, His Majesty the wise and mighty Emperor Hongwu was looking at them, let alone squeeze out the juice under the gaze of the tyrannosaurus, even if they were asked to deliver the willow bark, they had to do it with their hands.Some imperial physicians cut off the willow bark and ground it bit by bit with a medicine mill, hoping to get even a drop of juice.But this method is really difficult to harvest, and there is basically nothing except a pile of bark powder.Another part of the imperial physicians tried to boil medicine with willow bark, and made a bowl of bark soup full of weird flavors.

Zhu Su failed to say that the ready-made medicine was in the warehouse in the East Hospital of the Prince's Mansion, and the imperial physicians had no choice but to use their own subjective initiative.As a result, Zhu Su was not only fed a whole bowl of bark soup, but even the ground powder was poured into Zhu Su's mouth with a funnel, and then swallowed with water.Because it was impossible to wash down, the amount of water needed to be increased, and in the end Zhu Su was directly filled with a round belly.

"How? How about the fifth one?" Lao Zhu asked Li Yuanzheng anxiously. Zhu Su had been drinking bark water for a while, not only Lao Zhu, but also Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Fang, and all Zhu Su in this world. All relatives came.Even Zhu Di, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, was released by Zhu Xi begging Lao Zhu, and now he is being held by Zhu Biao with a weak face.

Li Yuanzheng frowned deeply, holding Zhu Su's hand and continuously feeling his pulse.His face was joyful for a while, tangled for a while, and unbelievable for a while.Changing back and forth and even like a revolving lantern.

"What's going on? You old man! Why are you so hesitant!" Lao Zhu said impatiently.

"Report...Report to Your Majesty." Li Yuanzheng was agitated, and quickly let go of the pulse. "It's really strange, His Highness Fifth Prince's pulse has calmed down. The fever has subsided."

"Willow bark is really a good medicine for reducing fever! No one has discovered it for thousands of years... It's strange, it's strange..."

Who is still patient to listen to the second half of his sentence, Empress Ma stood up excitedly when she heard that her fever had subsided, completely forgetting the grace and luxury that a queen should have.Zhu Xing was so excited that he seemed to be about to somersault outside; the little adult Zhu Xun also slapped the curtain beside him in a ecstasy, almost knocking down the curtain and had to rush to help it; Zhu Biao was better, but almost shed tears. Beside him, Zhu Di, who was originally sick, jumped three feet high excitedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

The fifth one is well, you can clear up my grievances for me!

The imperial physicians were also cheering, not knowing whether they were cheering for the medical miracle of willow bark healing, or cheering for the preservation of the nine clans.Lao Zhu excitedly grabbed Li Yuanzheng's shoulder: "Tell us quickly, when will Lao Wu wake up?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty Fifth Highness's pulse has slowed down, and he may wake up at any time..." Lao Zhu's hands were like iron tongs, and the old man's shoulders were almost crippled, but he didn't dare to resist and could only groan inwardly.From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of Zhu Su's eyelashes moving a few times, and quickly diverted his attention: "Look, Your Majesty! Your Highness is about to wake up!"

Old Zhu hurriedly turned his head, but he saw Zhu Su's eyelids trembling slightly, and he woke up leisurely.When I got up, I saw this big circle of people at first glance, and the first sentence was: "Ah, what a coincidence, everyone is here."

"Su'er!" Zhu Su's words were much better than the previous one when he ordered the willow bark juice, and he already had the spirit.Empress Ma finally dared to confirm that her child would not leave again, her legs softened and she sat on the side of the couch, holding Zhu Su's hand and began to cry.

"Mum, I'm fine. It's much more comfortable than before, but I just feel that my stomach is distended and I have a strange taste in my mouth." Zhu Su said.I thought that the willow bark juice I extracted doesn't taste like this?Could it be that it has been left for too long and has deteriorated?
Everyone was in a hurry again, and the imperial physicians took turns to ask for the pulse, and finally determined that Zhu Su's current discomfort was just a minor illness.Li Yuan said to the old Zhu who heaved a sigh of relief: "The fifth prince is just recovering from a serious illness, so it's better not to move around indiscriminately. I will prescribe a few decoctions for general nourishment, take it every day and take frequent rest, it will be inevitable." It's all right."

"It's so good, very good!" Lao Zhu said with a hearty smile.The emperor was happy, and everyone in the Imperial Hospital rewarded him heavily.

"Your Highness Fifth has been sleeping for a long time, so don't be overworked when you wake up suddenly. After you have a little affection with Your Majesty, you should go to bed early." Li Yuanzheng instructed.Although I really want to ask Ming about the reduction of the willow bark's fever, but at this time, the old Zhu's family is full of joy and joy. They are old and smart and living in the palace, how can they not know the reason for Ming's advance and retreat.Carrying the medicine box and leading the imperial doctors, they retreated.

Looking at the sons and adoptive sons who talked to Lao Wu in a hurry, and the wife who held Lao Wu's palm lovingly, the joy on Lao Zhu's face gradually faded.The fifth child has woken up, and it is time to ask all the unknown things before.

"Sister, we have something to talk to the fifth one alone. You can take the boss and the others out first." Old Zhu said.As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the hall felt the unusual atmosphere, and they all fell silent.

Zhu Di's face turned pale, and he took a step forward against the pressure: "Father, I won't leave! I want to listen here!"

"I want to hear my fifth son tell you that I am not your rebellious son!"

What he said was too serious.As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan, but also Zhu Biao, Mu Ying, and Queen Ma three insiders looked over in surprise.They guessed that Old Zhu wanted to ask Zhu Su about his future generations.But what happened in later generations has anything to do with Zhu Di's rebellion or not?
Zhu Yan even used surprised eyes to inspect Lao Zhu, Zhu Di, and Zhu Su back and forth.I yelled frantically in my heart: They really have something secret to hide from me!
Old Zhu didn't expect Zhu Di to make trouble at this moment, and was about to reprimand him, but saw him blushing, swaying on his knees, but still looking stubborn and wronged.The reprimand was never spoken.Empress Ma had already made up her mind, she said to Mu Ying without changing her face: "Ying'er, you can go down first with Mian'er and Mian'er. Your godfather has something to tell Su'er Di'er."

"Yes." Mu Ying responded directly.The Zhu family is his home. Empress Ma and Lao Zhu are the parents of this orphan. If the parents have orders, how can the son not obey, and he drags the curious Zhu Xun and Zhu Xun outside.Zhu Xing was still confused, but Zhu Xing looked unwilling, and didn't have the guts to disobey his mother's order, so he could only leave with grief and indignation while constantly poking around.

"Okay, now there are only a few of us left here. Chongba, what do you want to ask Su'er? Just ask." Empress Ma looked at Lao Zhu, and seeing his embarrassment, her face also became serious. stand up.Zhu Su looked at Lao Zhu, and then at Zhu Di who had knelt on the ground at some point, his expression became embarrassing.

"Father...mother, you already...know?"
