I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 57 Bupleurum is not called Bupleurum
"All right……"

Things had come to this point, Huo Guang could only give up and sigh helplessly.

"But Your Highness still needs to promise me that when you see Yi Shuo, you must wrap yourself in six layers of cloth like me, and always stand five steps away. You cannot go beyond one step, otherwise I will never obey your orders!"

"That's right, cousin. I'll do as you say."

Liu Ju turned around with a smile on his face.

He was a person who valued his life. If it was really an infectious disease, he would not easily get close even if Huo Guang didn't say anything.

However, judging from Yi Shuo's previous symptoms, he suspected it was another non-contagious disease, so he insisted on going to check it out before making a decision.

"..."

Seeing the smile on Liu Ju's face, Huo Guang suddenly felt like he was being teased.

As expected, those street knights that the prince had previously supported in Bowang Garden did not play any good role at all!
However, having said this, he could not say anything more. He just took the cloth with a gloomy face and wrapped Liu Ju's face into a mummy like his own.

Then he personally brought Liu Ju to the front of the carriage where Yi Shuo was.

He measured the number of steps meticulously and ordered his subordinates to bring a spear, place it on the ground, and use the spear shaft to draw a line that could not be straighter in front of the carriage.

After doing all this, he bowed slightly to Liu Ju and pointed outside the line, making a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please take your seat."

"..."

When everyone saw Huo Guang's outrageous control of details, they also looked at him with admiration.

This Captain Huo is indeed no ordinary person.

……

Inside the carriage.

"Are you going to die in a place like this?"

There seemed to be a quarrel outside. Yi Shuo, who was sleeping, woke up slowly. It took him a lot of effort to open his eyelids which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. His heart was immediately filled with resentment and sadness.

No one knows her body better than herself.

There was no one in the delegation who was more proficient in medical skills than her. She couldn't save herself, so naturally no one could save her.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Liu Ju had said before: "You are really losing out by living alone for such a small salary and taking risks with me to Nanyue. Hahahaha..."

At this moment, nothing was more irritating than Liu Ju's funny laughter at that time.

"Yes, the prince is right. I have really suffered a great loss."

"My parents were also doctors in the Imperial Hospital, but they were framed by the Imperial Physician Chief Cui Fuzhi and both died. I was only three years old at the time, and I had a one-year-old brother, Yi Zong. If my adoptive father hadn't taken us away for adoption, we would have died."

"Later, I studied medicine diligently and finally became famous. I was summoned by the emperor to the palace and became the Queen Mother's personal physician."

"The Queen Mother liked me very much. She petitioned the Emperor to confer an official title on Yi Zong, despite my strong refusal."

"Yi Zong was also stupid. He could do anything else but choose to be a cruel official just to get promoted. A few years later, he was executed by the emperor for disobeying the imperial edict because he prevented the report of the corruption."

"Since then, I have been the only one left at home."

"Now even I am going to die here."

"I've really lost a lot..."

"It's really funny to think about it. All my misfortunes in this life are caused by the royal family. I only hope that if there is an afterlife, I will no longer have to have anything to do with the royal family..."

Recalling the past in his heart, Yi Shuo's mouth curled up into a sad arc, and he slowly closed his eyes weakly.

at this time.

A dazzling light suddenly shot into the dim carriage, and Yishuo's pupils shrank.

It was the captain who had been driving the carriage in front who lifted the curtain, saying with great reluctance:

"Your Highness, if you have anything to ask, please ask it now. Don't delay too long!"

"Hey cousin, can you please stop rushing me now?"

This is the chatterbox prince from the royal family who has no moral integrity. "Doctor Yi, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Is he asking me a question?
Should I stand up and salute, addressing him respectfully as "Your Highness" so as not to be impolite?
But I couldn’t get up…

Forget it, forget it. What am I afraid of? I am already a dying man, why should I care about these things? Even if I scold him now, what can he do to me? My family has already died.

Thinking of this, Yi Shuo simply closed his eyes completely, not only did he not answer, he also turned his head to the side.

"It seems that the symptoms are getting worse." Liu Ju sighed and continued,

"Doctor Yi, if you can hear me, can you answer a few questions for me? If you can't speak, can you just nod or shake your head to respond to me?"

"This is very important to me. Maybe there is a chance to cure your current illness."

It's so annoying, but also so funny.

He even planned to cure my illness.

Has he forgotten that he is the prince? Does he know any medical skills?
Alchemy has always been regarded as a lowly profession. It is impossible for a prince to practice alchemy. Even if he has this intention, there will be people who will try their best to stop him.

Thinking of this, Yishuo acted disobediently towards a member of the royal family for the first time in his life.

She did not open her eyes, but shook her head slightly to express her deep-seated protest against the royal family.

"You did very well."

But Liu Ju didn't take it to heart at all, or he didn't understand whether she was shaking her head or nodding, and then he continued,

"The first question I would ask is, have you ever been bitten by a mosquito before you became ill?"

He was asking me questions about my condition... Was he serious?

Or maybe he had seen similar symptoms and knew something?
Yi Shuo's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, and he nodded twice as if possessed by a ghost.

"Very good. Second question, in addition to the alternating hot and cold spells, did you also have headaches, palpitations, dry mouth and tongue, and nausea and vomiting during your illness?"

Liu Ju asked again.

He was right!

Does he really know about this disease? !

Yi Shuo opened her eyes again, raised her head with difficulty to look at Liu Ju outside the car, and nodded twice with difficulty.

When Liu Ju saw Yi Shuo's pale face, he said, "Okay, you can lie down now. There is no need to ask the third question."

Lips are cyanotic.

Pale.

A small amount of herpes also appeared at the corners of the lips and wings of the nose.

At this moment, Liu Ju was already certain that Yi Shuo's illness was most likely malaria transmitted by mosquito bites.

This was exactly the disease he had suspected before. This disease was highly regional and was usually only encountered in the south.

But he had to admit that he really had no research on martial arts.

I learned about malaria from a travel guide when I traveled to Southeast Asia in my previous life.

In preparation for the trip, he also looked up methods for preventing and treating malaria. He happened to see a Chinese medicine prescription called "Xiao Chaihu Tang" and an acupuncture method for relieving symptoms on a website. He still has some impression of the prescription because it was very simple and involved very few acupuncture points.

I have to admit that Yishuo is very lucky.

If she didn't have malaria, Liu Ju would really be helpless now.

"?"

After hearing Liu Ju's words, Yi Shuo couldn't help but have doubts in her mind again.

Why don’t we ask the third question?
Has he been diagnosed?

What level of miracle doctor is this?

But Liu Ju suddenly asked, "Doctor Yi, I saw you prepare several boxes of herbs for this trip. Is there a herb called Bupleurum among them?"

"W-what... is Chaihu?"

Yi Shuo finally couldn't help but open his mouth, straightened his neck and asked in a hoarse and weak voice.

"Eh?"

Liu Ju was also stunned.

Is it that there is no Bupleurum, or is it that Bupleurum was not called Bupleurum at that time?
