Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 592: Miraculous Medicine to Restore Life
Zhao Mu finished injecting Zhezong after a while. He personally applied the best hemostatic medicine to Zhezong and then bandaged Zhezong himself.

Then Zhao Mu stood in front of Zhezong and looked at him.

Seeing Zhao Mu's eyes, Zhezong was the first to lose his composure after a moment. He asked, "Why is my uncle looking at me like this?"

Zhao Mu asked, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhezong felt it for a while, then said, "I don't feel any discomfort."

After hearing what Zhezong said, Zhao Mu was relieved. Although he didn't know whether the medicine would work, at least Zhezong was not allergic to penicillin.

Zhezong asked, "I have never heard of or seen the method used by my uncle. Where did he get this medical skill?"

Zhao Mu then lied, "Your Majesty, this is the medical technique of the Western Luosha Country. When I was a young minister, I met a doctor from Luosha Country. The doctor used this method. He said that this thing can reduce inflammation. Although I don't quite understand what this means, it sounds similar to the heat-reducing method in Chinese medicine. So I took the initiative to try this method."

After hearing Zhao Mu's nonsense, everyone present was confused.

Zhezong smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, although I am not well-versed in history, I do have some knowledge of the countries in the world. I just don't know where this 'Rakshasa Country' is? In the west? Or in Tianzhu, Daqin?"

Zhao Mu naturally knew where Tianzhu and Daqin referred to. It was the old name used by the Central Plains to refer to the ancient Indian Peninsula and ancient Rome during the Han and Tang dynasties.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, although the Silk Road was opened, Gan Ying of the Han Dynasty also reached the Persian Gulf. Most of the merchants on the Silk Road were Arabs. Until the Mongol invasion of the West, the East did not know much about Europe. Therefore, in the impression of Zhezong and others, the Mediterranean Sea was already the most western place.

Zhao Mu replied, "In fact, I don't know where the country that the Hu man mentioned is, and I'm not even sure whether he is talking about Luosha. I just heard him say that his country is in the far west, a place called 'Europe'. I translated Luosha based on his unclear spoken words. Maybe he was talking about 'Luosha' or 'Luocha'."

Upon hearing this, Zhezong said, "Forget it, no matter where it is. Since the emperor's uncle feels that this medicine is effective for my illness, then the emperor's uncle can use it."

In the next few days, Zhao Mu continued to give Zhezong penicillin to reduce inflammation.

Although Zhao Mu didn't know whether it would work or not, Zhezong didn't have any adverse reactions, so he could only take it one step at a time.

During the day, Zhao Mu gave Zhezong medicine, and at night he went to the Taimiao to pray for him. He prayed to the gods for help and the ancestors for protection. Zhao Mu prayed to all the gods that could be prayed to.

He asked them to bless Zhezong's recovery and to allow him to live a carefree life of wine and women.

And just like that, more than ten days passed.

That day, Xue Muhua and Su Xinghe were ordered to give Zhezong a follow-up examination. When Su Xinghe felt Zhezong's pulse again, he was stunned again.

Seeing Su Xinghe's expression, Queen Meng hurriedly asked, "Old sir, how is your majesty's health?"

Su Xinghe did not answer, but winked at Xue Muhua, and Xue Muhua came to Zhezong and tried to take his pulse.

Xue Muhua was also stunned, but he didn't say anything. He pressed on Zhezong's body again and asked, "Your Majesty, do you feel any discomfort in these places? Is it still as painful as before?"

Cheoljong replied, "It hurts a little, but not as much as before. Miraculous doctor! Is my time coming?"

Xue Muhua said quickly: "No! Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and the head master has brought him back to health. Your Majesty's lung abscess has actually improved."

Upon hearing this, Queen Meng and Concubine Liu both looked delighted.

Queen Meng said, "Although the uncle's method is unheard of, it is indeed effective." But then the expression on Queen Meng's face suddenly froze. Concubine Liu asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Queen Meng turned around and smiled again. She said, "It's nothing. This is really a great thing."

Although Queen Meng looked strange, everyone was immersed in the joy that Zhezong's health had improved.

Although Zhezong's illness was cured, Queen Meng had now begun to worry about another matter.

That is "there is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two rulers for the people". Now the emperor of the Song Dynasty is Zhao Mu, and Zhezong is only the emperor. If Zhezong dies, Zhao Mu can succeed to the throne openly.

Zhao Mu's saving Zhezong's life was a sign of his loyalty, but after Zhezong's recovery, who was the emperor of the Song Dynasty? Was it Zhao Mu or Zhezong?
Queen Meng did not doubt Zhao Mu's loyalty to Emperor Zhezong. She was just worried about whether it would cause a new round of turmoil.

After all, even if Zhao Mu wanted to give up the throne, those arrogant and powerful generals under his command would not let him hand it over.

Now that Zhezong has recovered, the officials in Bianjing City have many complaints about Zhao Mu's reign. At that time, they will definitely find ways to restore the emperor to the throne.

And there can only be one emperor in the world, which makes Queen Meng a little worried.

When Zhezong's condition improved, Queen Meng immediately went to invite Zhao Mu into the palace in person.

Queen Meng went straight to the Huguo Temple in Bian Jing. At this time, Zhao Mu was wearing a cassock and a monk's hat, and he followed the monks in beating wooden fish and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Even though Zhao Muniang's words were mostly wrong and very funny, he was now the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and none of the monks in the Huguo Temple dared to laugh at him.

Not only did no one laugh at him, but even when Zhao Mu got it wrong, no one dared to stand up and point it out. Even when Zhao Mu got it wrong, they followed suit and got it wrong, and no one dared to get it right.

Although this was a great disrespect to Buddha, few of these monks dared to sacrifice their lives for their religion in the face of Zhao Mu, the emperor of the world.

At this time, Queen Meng walked in and said, "Uncle! The emperor is now out of danger. I have come to invite you to the palace."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu immediately threw away the wooden fish in his hand, took off his monk's hat and robes, and then said, "Are you serious, Madam?"

Queen Meng replied excitedly, "Mr. Su and Divine Doctor Xue said it themselves. It is absolutely true."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's go back to the palace quickly."

In fact, Zhao Mu did not believe in any metaphysics. He came to the temple to beat the wooden fish himself, but he was very upset during this period, so he came here just to seek psychological comfort.

Now that Cheoljong's health has improved, he naturally doesn't need to stay here anymore.

Then he followed Queen Meng back to the harem.

Zhao Mu was in front, and Queen Meng was behind. Zhao Mu walked and shouted, "How is His Majesty? How is His Majesty?"

When he walked into Concubine Liu's bedroom, Zhezong looked like he had just recovered from an illness and was sitting there peacefully.
