A Thousand Hills

Chapter 329

When Emperor Xue came, the situation in the entire imperial capital was already tense, ready to explode.

The fifth prince was dressed in plain clothes with an unshaven beard, and he was not in the mood to admire Xue Dishi's immortal demeanor and Xia Qingcheng's picturesque features. Of course, the fifth prince's attitude was very polite, and he said, "Father is in danger, and Prime Minister Su is also sick. First of all, we brothers really don’t have a backbone, so we have no choice but to invite the old master to come over, and it’s also a peace of mind. I heard that Xia’s doctor’s medical skills are extraordinary, so I also asked Xia’s doctor to help my father to take a look. Son, it’s always not right.”

Emperor Xue first expressed his annoyance to the princes, and then said, "In the middle of Shu, I heard that your majesty's dragon body is in trouble, so I sent someone to find Qingcheng. He went to the mountains of Guizhou to collect medicine and practice medicine, but there was no news from the outside world. , so it was delayed for some time. When we were walking towards the imperial capital, we happened to meet Earl Jiang, and we were lucky to be escorted by Earl Jiang along the way. Your Highness, please take us to pay your respects to His Majesty."

The imperial capital is a place full of turmoil. Emperor Xue has been away from the imperial capital for a long time, and he doesn't know many people, but one person is counted as one. Anyone whom Emperor Xue knows is at least a third rank or above.Just like the Marquis of Beichang, since Emperor Mu Yuan was seriously ill, he sat upright in the court and said nothing. When he heard that Emperor Xue had arrived, he hurriedly followed him out of the palace to greet him.However, everyone is very sensible, and the fifth prince just died, and his mother is very unhappy recently, and he doesn't even buy the prince's account. The atmosphere is not suitable for joking or anything.

The fifth prince didn't delay for a moment, and directly invited Emperor Xue and Xia Qingcheng to the palace.

The prince is already waiting in Zhaode Hall.

When he saw Emperor Xue, the prince's face softened a little. He used to avoid in the middle of Sichuan, and he knew Emperor Xue. The prince waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite, old master. Hey, please come and see my father. Emperor." Speaking of Emperor Xue's teacher Xia Qingcheng, the prince was not very happy, the fifth prince did it secretly, and picked up people in private, if he hadn't been well-informed, the fifth prince would have been caught off guard up.Even now, after his father wakes up, he still needs to be afraid of being criticized by others.

Emperor Xue is about the same age as Emperor Mu Yuan, slightly older than Emperor Mu Yuan by two or three years. This person has a fairy air, but his facial features are older than Emperor Mu Yuan of the same age.On the other hand, Xia Qingcheng who was beside him had beautiful features and spirited eyes.Emperor Xue took a closer look at Emperor Mu Yuan, sighed slightly, and said, "Qingcheng, show Your Majesty."

Xia Qingcheng saw an embroidered stool next to Emperor Mu Yuan's dragon couch, so he went over and sat down, grasped Emperor Mu Yuan's pulse with one hand, and took a minute to watch for a quarter of an hour, saying, "Your Majesty had a stuffy nose, headache, cough, high fever, and even coma at the beginning. In the end, the pulse condition is stable, but the person is still not waking up."

The eldest prince hurriedly said, "What the genius doctor said is not bad. Father doesn't have a fever now, but he still can't wake up. I don't know why?"

Xia Qingcheng asked, "Can you show me your Majesty's medical records?" He opened the medicine box, took out the needle sac, and inserted a golden needle as thin as a cow's hair from the top of Emperor Mu Yuan's head, his hand was fast and steady.It was brought by Emperor Xue, otherwise, if another person dared to treat Emperor Mu Yuan without saying a word, the princes would not agree.Xia Qingcheng inserted five golden needles in a row, took the medical case handed over by Doctor Dou, quickly read it, and then stood up and said, "Your Majesty's poison is quite deep, and it is difficult to cure."

The eldest prince stuttered, "What, what!? Father, father, is, yes, poisoned?"

Xia Qingcheng nodded, the third prince's psychological quality is not much better than his eldest brother, in fact, both the third prince and the eldest prince have doubts about their father's illness, but what they suspect is that the prince may have brought the disease to his father .As for the others, the imperial doctors of the entire imperial hospital were there to poison the father or something. Could it be that the imperial hospital couldn't tell whether it was a disease or a poison?
Even the fourth prince couldn't help but glance at the prince, and the prince was so angry that he saw what Gu was doing!

The Fifth Prince was the calmest one, and said, "Doctor Xia please speak frankly."

Xia Qingcheng is a straightforward person, he said, "Looking through medicine books before, I saw in a medicine book that it was said that the genius doctor Zhang of the Dafeng Dynasty accidentally obtained an ancient side, and made a strange poison, which is slow and strong. At the beginning, the pulse condition is similar to that of wind and cold. When the poison is deep, the pulse condition is no different from that of ordinary people. People who are poisoned often pass away in a coma. Therefore, this poison is called death."

The eldest prince hurriedly said, "Please, please ask the genius doctor to detoxify my father." Shocked, the eldest prince could not even speak clearly.

Xia Qingcheng remained calm all the time, and said, "I heard from my master that the Dou family is a master of medicine. I don't know if there is a doctor Dou in the imperial hospital?"

The eldest prince stared at Xia Qingcheng suspiciously, pointed to Imperial Doctor Dou who had just delivered Xia Qingcheng's medical case, and thought, is this genius doctor Xia blind?

Xia Qingcheng quickly bowed to Imperial Physician Dou, and said, "Qingcheng's eyesight is clumsy, I don't recognize Senior, I hope Senior will forgive me."

Imperial Physician Dou has tortured the royal family to death these days. Xia Qingcheng is so polite, Imperial Physician Dou is also very humble, saying, "The master is a teacher. Doctor Xia's medical skills are far superior to those of old people. You can just talk about them with your peers."

Xia Qingcheng is not entangled in these general affairs, he treats Imperial Physician Dou with courtesy, mainly because this Imperial Physician Dou is completely in the mind of a doctor, and Emperor Mu Yuan can survive until now, it is entirely due to Imperial Physician Dou thinking of ways to continue his life for Emperor Mu Yuan to.Xia Qingcheng guessed that Imperial Physician Dou should have seen that Emperor Mu Yuan was poisoned, but he didn't announce it, but the prescriptions he prescribed were all prescriptions for detoxifying and reducing fire.Although he couldn't get rid of the strange poison of rebirth, he managed to save Emperor Mu Yuan's life as much as possible.

Doctor Dou saw Xia Qingcheng's good attitude, so he asked Xia Qingcheng about this strange poison. Unfortunately, Xia Qingcheng didn't know much about this strange poison. Highly poisonous, some are rare medicinal materials.Imperial Physician Dou asked, "Can Dr. Xia detoxify this poison?"

Xia Qingcheng said, "There is no cure for this poison, and he will surely die within thirty days."

The third prince reacted quickly and said, "Father has been sick for a month now." Isn't it, is he still alive?
Xia Qingcheng said with emotion, "It seems that the emperor has his own destiny. If it's not that the poisoner didn't consider the dosage properly, or the poison has been released for a long time, the toxicity has subsided. In this way, His Majesty has a glimmer of life."

The third prince was overjoyed, he didn't care about other questions, and said, "So, father can be saved?"

"I have never detoxified this poison, but I will try my best, but I dare not say that I will be able to detoxify it." Xia Qingcheng was a very direct person, and said, "Your Highness, can you think about it?" He turned around and took the needle from Emperor Mu Yuan's head Don't look at Xia Qingcheng's neatness when he pricked, his hands were extremely slow when he took the needle, and even a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.However, Emperor Mu Yuan seemed to frowned slightly, and the eldest prince jumped, "Old, third child, are you, father, are you, frowning, frowning?"

The third prince nodded, "Yes."

Xia Qingcheng took out all five gold needles, and said, "I'm going to give it a try, to see if Your Majesty still has sanity."

The Fifth Prince asked, "How?"

"That's good." Xia Qingcheng packed up the medicine box, put it in his hands and stood beside Master Xue, and said, "Sir, if nothing happens, I want to go and see the people in the city who are suffering from the disease."

This kind of attitude of completely ignoring the royal family is really annoying... I am not very happy... But Xia Qingcheng is very sure about Emperor Mu Yuan's poison... In fact, what everyone does not know is that Xia Qingcheng was born with A sure face.

The prince said softly, "Doctor Xia has come from a long way, and he still has to prepare to detoxify his father. You might as well get a good rest first. The epidemic in the city is still safe now."

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Xia Qingcheng looked full of air, completely unable to understand what the prince said.What the prince means is that you have to prepare to detoxify the king of a country, it is not good to go to places with infectious diseases!
The eldest prince said, "Could it be that the people outside are also suffering from this kind of poison of rebirth?"

"Impossible!" Xia Qingcheng said, "To make this poison, several ingredients are available. Among them, the seven-color ganoderma is probably not even available in the royal family. How can this precious poison be used to kill the common people!"

The Fifth Prince said, "I don't know how sure Doctor Xia can detoxify Father?"

Xia Qingcheng said, "Less than [-]%."

This time, everyone was silent.Even if there is [-]% certainty, everyone has to discuss it, and this is less than [-]% sure...

The fifth prince asked, "What does the old master think?"

Emperor Xue said, "It is beneficial for Your Majesty's dragon body to detoxify earlier, but at Qingcheng's age, he has always spoken truthfully, saying that it is less than [-]% or less than [-]%, which is not humble. This matter is related to Jiangshan Sheji , His Majesty's safety is up to His Majesty to decide."

Emperor Xue's remarks are also reasonable, as an outsider, naturally he would not take such a big idea.The fifth prince asked Xia Qingcheng, "According to Doctor Xia, how long can the father last?"

"No more than ten days. If you don't use me to detoxify within five days, after five days, I won't be sure." Xia Qingcheng said clearly, "However, there are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains. more refined."

The fifth prince said, "The old master and Doctor Xia came from a long distance, and they were exhausted all the way. Please take a break at the residence of aunt Wenkang, Princess Wenkang. Doctor Xia is benevolent and benevolent, just to detoxify the father right now. As for the situation of the epidemic in the city, in the evening, I will bring some doctors who are researching the prescriptions of the epidemic, so you can talk about it. After the emperor is in good health, Dr. Lao Xia will have to contribute to the prevention and treatment of the epidemic."

Xia Qingcheng finally understood, but didn't say anything.

Emperor Xue took him to the residence of Princess Wenkang.

The princes discussed together whether to let Xia Qingcheng detoxify his father.

The prince sat in the chair, was silent for a moment, and said, "On weekdays, you have to be convinced about what I want to be the master of. I don't make up my mind about this matter. Let everyone talk about it."

In the past, no matter what happened, the eldest prince wished he could take the place of the prince.As for this matter, the first prince was really hard to speak for a while.

The crown prince and the eldest prince don't speak, and the third prince, who is so dainty, can't even open his mouth.The fourth prince was straightforward and asked, "Fifth brother, what do you think?"

The fifth prince's face was as hard as a stone, but his eyes were astonishingly bright and cold, the fifth prince said in a deep voice, "Dr. Xia was invited by me, and I agree with him to detoxify the father."

The eldest prince was startled, ignoring the previous festivities with the fifth prince, and said, "Fifth, then Doctor Xia said that he is not even [-]% sure."

"Doctor Xia is the only one who says he is [-]% sure. Besides him, who else has said that?" The fifth prince said firmly, "I believe in Doctor Xia, and I also believe in my father. With my ninety-five fate, I will never die because of it." Xiao Xiao's hand!"

The fifth prince said again, "I agree with Dr. Xia to detoxify my father."

The sixth prince asked, "But what if something unexpected happens, what if Dr. Xia fails to detoxify successfully?"

The fifth prince glanced at the sixth prince, with a sharp look in his eyes, and the sixth prince who really looked at him angrily moved his eyes away, and the fifth prince said, "Then I will be buried with my father!"

The fourth prince followed the fifth prince to express his opinion, "I also agree to use Dr. Xia."

These days, the eldest prince and the third prince have already understood the beauty of being in a group, and they also said, "Since the fifth brother trusts Dr. Xia so much, it is always important to detoxify the father. Why don't you ask Dr. Xia tomorrow, even if you can't?" If the detoxification is successful, don't affect the father's dragon body."

The prince sighed, "Third brother's words are very true, if it can be so, it would be great."

Basically, when everyone is hesitating, if one person can stick to his point of view, then most of his persistence will be successful.The matter of detoxifying Emperor Mu Yuan was settled in this way.

The princes made up their minds, even Queen Mother Hu and Princess Wenkang didn't say anything.

The princes went to Princess Wenkang's mansion together and asked Dr. Xia about detoxification, even if the detoxification failed, could they save their father's life?Xia Qingcheng said, "I can't guarantee this."

Princes: ...

Even if it is necessary to detoxify, it cannot be carried out right away. Xia Qingcheng prescribed two prescriptions on the second day, and Imperial Physician Dou helped him prepare these medicines. Fortunately, he was in the royal family. Otherwise, these medicines would not be in a short time can be collected.

Until the third day, Xia Qingcheng officially detoxified Emperor Mu Yuan.

The fifth prince had already bid farewell to his wife in advance, Xie Moru said, "Your Highness is right. When His Majesty has something to do, please ask Dr. Xia to show Prime Minister Su a look."

"I was so focused on the poisoning of my father that I actually forgot about Su Xiang." The fifth prince said.

"Right now, it is natural that Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing." Xie Moru said, "Your Highness, just be at ease, according to me, Dr. Xia is a real doctor. Although Imperial Physician Dou is good at medicine, once he enters the officialdom, he must save his life. Dr. Xia acts frankly and has the style of a great doctor."

The couple said a few words and then took a rest early.

On the day of detoxification for Emperor Mu Yuan, not only the princes went to Zhaode Palace to guard the marquis, but also Empress Dowager Hu, Princess Wenkang, and other princesses also went.Of course, there is also Emperor Xue.

At this time, there is no need to care about the defense of men and women.

Xia Qingcheng first boiled a whole bucket of medicinal soup, and the strong fragrance of the medicine permeated the entire Zhaode Hall. Xia Qingcheng scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup and tasted it himself, and then ordered someone to pour it into the bathtub, and then stripped Emperor Mu Yuan naked and helped him into the bucket. Inside.Then, Xia Qingcheng applied the needles to Emperor Mu Yuan. At this moment, there were no more than five needles. Emperor Mu Yuan's head, chest, and back were pierced brightly. Empress Dowager Hu was watching from the side, and the whole person was gone. Sitting on the couch and rubbing her chest, Princess Wenkang was worried that she would scare the old lady, so she hurriedly ordered Princess Changtai to help Queen Mother Hu to rest in the cubicle.

In fact, Empress Dowager Hu hadn't seen anything exciting yet, if she saw Xia Qingcheng stabbing Emperor Mu Yuan's chest with a golden needle that was a foot long, she would probably be paralyzed.In fact, Xia Qingcheng was quite exhausted, logically he was at the age of youth, and he was definitely not a weak scholar who climbed mountains and waded in water to collect medicines on weekdays. After this acupuncture session, his face was as tired as snow , Sitting in the chair and unable to get up.

This was just the detoxification in the morning, and Miracle Doctor Xia had to rest for an hour at noon. In the afternoon, instead of taking a medicinal bath, he changed to fumigation therapy, accompanied by decoction.

Miracle Physician Xia simply stayed in the side hall of Zhaode Hall, while Emperor Xue went to talk to old friends.

As for Doctor Xia, he really deserved the name of doctor. By the third day, Emperor Mu Yuan could bend and stretch his fingers slightly, and there were movements like eyebrows and lips on his face, and everyone was overjoyed.The Empress Dowager Hu couldn't help but reward Miracle Doctor Xia for a whole room, and the First Prince said to Zhao Shiyu, "Thanks to my fifth younger brother's knowledge, I invited Miracle Doctor Xia to come here. Although he is not very big, he has rare good medical skills."

The haze on the fifth prince's face also dissipated a little, and he was on duty with the prince at night, keeping vigil for his father.

Since Empress Su passed away, the fifth prince had been torn apart from the prince, and he stopped doing the work of epidemic prevention. He forced himself into a group with the prince, but if there was any decoction, the fifth prince had to taste it himself Let out the words, "If you want to poison, poison me first."

How could the prince endure such a squeeze, the prince also went to taste the soup for his own father, and said, "Don't say that the father is only your son. If I know that the soup is not suitable that day, I would rather drink it myself."

Now that Emperor Mu Yuan wants to get rid of the poison, it is an urgent time. The princes are arranged as follows: the five princes are in one group, the eldest prince is in a group with six princes, and the third prince is in a group with four princes.The Fifth Prince even talked to the First Prince in private, asking the First Prince to keep a close eye on the Sixth Prince. The Fifth Prince did not hide it now, and spoke in a twisted manner. He said directly, "The Sixth Prince is not safe either. Brother, pay attention."

Ever since Emperor Mu Yuan became seriously ill, the Eldest Prince tended to favor the Fifth Prince in terms of political views, so the two were quite close.Even if the fifth prince doesn't say anything, the eldest prince should pay more attention to the sixth prince.Right now, the eldest prince hates the ranking on the list the most. The fifth prince plummets, while the sixth prince rises straight up. If it's not for anyone else, but for the sixth prince, the prince will be obsessed with everything. The eldest prince can't wait to see him!

Therefore, Miracle Physician Xia's treatment was quite effective, and the First Prince was also very happy.

This kind of joy also includes the third prince, not to mention the fourth prince, and even the harem full of concubines.Emperor Mu Yuan is safe, and those who are favored or not favored will always have their own place. If Emperor Mu Yuan has something good or bad, it is okay for concubines with princes and princesses. They can go out of the palace to live with their children, and concubines without children will have to move The Palace of Mercy guarded Empress Dowager Hu, who chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha.

Because the doctor Xia was invited by the fifth prince, and the fifth prince insisted on expelling the poison for Emperor Mu Yuan, now that Emperor Mu Yuan is good, all the harem and previous dynasties are full of praise for the fifth prince.

If you want to say that you are worried about the fifth prince, it is Xie Moru.

Xie Moru asked Li Jiujiang, "Are you all ready?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Li Jiujiang said, "I think this little Doctor Xia's medical skills are not simple. Your Highness will make great contributions this time."

"Unless His Majesty wakes up, otherwise, you have to be prepared, but just in case. It was the Marquis of Nan'an back then, if you hadn't taken precautions in advance, how could the Marquis of Nan'an escape from death."

Li Jiujiang and Xie Moru have known each other for many years, but Li Jiujiang guessed some of Xie Moru's thoughts, and asked, "Are you worried about Emperor Xue?"

A smile flashed across Xie Moru's eyes, "I can't hide it from Jiujiang."

Li Jiujiang said, "After all, he has been away from the imperial capital for many years." What if a person who has been away from the center of power for decades returns to the imperial capital?

"In a peaceful and prosperous age, it would be very difficult for courtiers to make contributions. If a person wants to be useful, something must happen, and then he calms down the matter. From this, he will show his talents and methods, and build a future of success." Xie Xie Mo Ru's expression was indifferent, "Blood, sacrifice, fight for fame, and profit. Jiang Beiling is a man who seeks fame. He can be an official and a teacher. Unlike Emperor Xue, he is a natural strategist. It stands to reason that at his age, There is only one granddaughter behind him, what are you doing to disturb the situation in the imperial capital? But such a person, but there is a chance, not necessarily why, I am afraid that he will not be able to help but cause some disturbances."

It happened on the sixth day.

Xie Moru did not go to the palace every day to wait for Emperor Mu Yuan's detoxification process like other princesses. In recent days, Xie Moru has been in the palace.When the chief executive of the royal residence stumbled all the way back to the mansion to report the news, Xie Moru didn't panic at all, but the chief executive was scared to death, and said, "Ma'am, no, it's not good! There is news from the palace that Dr. Something went wrong during the poisoning, Doctor Xia has been captured by the crown prince!"

Due to the epidemic in the imperial capital, the children were not allowed to go out, so they were all in the mansion. Xie Moru called the children over first, and immediately ordered them to change into homely clothes. Go to Wenkang princess mansion.

Da Lang is the elder brother, so he is not willing to leave, Xie Moru said coldly, "It doesn't have to be this far, you know what your Yue family does, you should always come out to speak for your father at this time! I beg you, don’t be so stupid as to go back home! There is no way to survive if you ask someone to do it all! Go!”

Da Lang's eyes were red, and he said, "We are all gone, how can we let mother suffer in the mansion! This is not the way of the Son of Man!"

Liu Lang also said, "Why don't mothers go to the Princess's mansion with us?"

"Who said I want to stay in the mansion, I want to go into the palace and ask for an explanation!" Xie Moru ordered people to call out Concubine Su, Concubine Xu, Concubine Yu, and Ling Xiao, and asked them to follow Shiro Let's go to the Princess Palace together.

Ling Xiao said, "There can't be no one in the mansion, I'll stay in the mansion."

Xie Moru took a deep look at her, then pointed at Xu Shi, and said, "Ling Xiao stays here, and Liu Lang will leave it to you. If something happens to you, Yu Shi and Su Shi, you should take good care of the child first!" The three of them didn't care about being afraid, They all agreed in unison.

The chariots and horses have been prepared for a long time, and each has its own place to go.Xie Moru directly drove into the palace, and was stopped in front of the palace gate. Xie Moru condescendingly looked down at the guard blocking the way. She remained silent, staring directly at the guard's eyes with a pair of cold eyes, and saw the uncomfortable expression of the guard. Averting his eyes, Xie Moru suddenly shouted angrily, "Presumptuous, I am the prince and concubine, I was born in the Shangshu Mansion, my mother is the first-rank Mrs. Wei, the second uncle in the family is the son-in-law of Yi'an, and my aunt is the noble concubine in charge of the palace. The queen's coffin has left the palace, and the crown prince has not succeeded to the throne yet! It's not up to him to make decisions about this country and this palace! You little guard, how dare you stop me!"

Xie Moru took the lead and scared the guards half to death, she shouted angrily again, "Get out of the way!"

It has to be said that gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people.

Xie Moru is not a villain, and he has a good reputation.

What's more, since Emperor Mu Yuan fell ill, Empress Su and Princess Wenkang intentionally blocked the prince's influence in the East Palace. Just like what Xie Moru said, the prince is really not in charge of the palace right now.

At least, this little guard didn't dare to stop Xie Moru one step further, Xie Moru sat in the Qibao Zhaifeng chariot of the prince and concubine, swaggering all the way to Zhaode Hall.
