481 Full of Tiredness

As soon as Ping'an walked out of the hospital, the master's carriage stopped on the road.

Sun Sicheng stuck his head out and said, "Ping An, come with me."

"Master, I didn't bring a medical kit." He saw that not far from his master's carriage, there was also a carriage parked there, but the people inside did not get out.

"It's okay, just use mine, come on up."

Ping An thought about it and realized that there were many things in his medical box, many of which were banned items. How could he have brought them in?

"Master, who is sick on New Year's Eve?"

"Grandson, it should be an acute intestinal abscess. The director is in his early sixties and his eyesight is not good. Doctor Huang, who can perform surgery, returned to Dingzhou a few days ago. It's too late to call him back. Doctor Ning is not very good at surgery. I guess he is not as good as me. So they all thought of you and me."

Ping An felt a little helpless.

The one who can be called the Crown Prince can only be the eldest son of the Crown Prince, usually the eldest son of the legitimate wife. Acute appendicitis is not a major operation, but if it is delayed long enough, there will be many accidents.

How could the Crown Prince be someone who could allow even the slightest accident to happen?

Identity is too precious.

"Master, going to the palace is not a good idea, especially when the other party is of such status. How can the surgery be 100% safe? You and I cannot afford the slightest accident."

Sun Sicheng smiled bitterly: "How could I not understand this? But the emperor's order is hard to disobey. Sometimes being famous for medical skills is not a good thing. This year, no one in my family can celebrate the New Year in peace."

Ping An sighed, "Master, it should be fine. I just hope that there will be fewer such incidents in the future. I will never go to the Imperial Hospital in my life."

Sun Sicheng remained silent. Neither he nor Ping An would go to the Imperial Medical Bureau, but there were many people who wanted to go. They used their connections to find guarantors and gave generous gifts. Isn't it because being an imperial physician in the palace is prestigious and lucrative?

He has both face and money, and he will not lack for peace either, so naturally he looks down on the Imperial Hospital.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

Sun Sicheng and Ping An got off the carriage. A eunuch also got off the carriage in front, and there were two people who looked like guards beside them.

"Master, please come in, Master Ping An."

"Eunuch Hu, can I bring a medical assistant? I need some help occasionally."

"Okay, no one else can go in. This is the rule. Actually, we can send someone to take you back later."

Sun Sicheng said to Wanli, "The three of us definitely can't go back tonight. You take them home first. There's no need to stay here in the cold. You don't have to come tomorrow. Even if you do, you may not be able to leave tomorrow."

It's different here than with the guests outside. He can have the final say and no one will object. But it's different in the palace, unless there is absolutely no need for you to stay, the patient can just use the imperial physician.

"My Lord, I will bring someone to pick you up at the beginning of the morning tomorrow. It's ok for so many people to take turns waiting."

Sun Sicheng said nothing more, and this worked.

The three people followed Eunuch Hu inside. As soon as they entered the palace gate, two guards checked the medical box in Ruyi's hand very carefully. Pingan said with relief that it was a good thing that he didn't bring it with him.

In his medical box, there were several kinds of poisons, as well as some things that could harm people but not kill them, such as itching powder.

If it is found out, I don't know how to explain it. What does it mean for a doctor to always carry these things in his medicine box?

The three people were also searched carefully.

"I'm sorry, sir, they are just doing their job."

Sun Sicheng said hurriedly, "Of course, of course, let's go."

Ping An heard some things about the royal family of the Great Zhou from his master on the way out. The emperor is in his early fifties and can be considered a very wise monarch. He has only four sons and five daughters.

For a monarch, having only four sons is really too few. Unfortunately, the emperor has few offspring, and although there are many beauties in the harem, not many children are born.

Ping An estimates that this person is likely to have asthenospermia.

The prince is already thirty years old this year. He has three sons and two daughters, and only one legitimate son, the crown prince. This shows how precious the crown prince is.

Eunuch Hu led them around in many ways, and after a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the gate of a palace.

"My Lord, we have arrived at the East Palace. Please wait a moment."

Eunuch Hu trotted in and quickly brought a few people out. Two inner guards carefully checked them. The new eunuch said, "Master, follow me quickly."

Sun Sicheng walked with Ping An and Ruyi for another quarter of an hour and entered a hall.

"Sicheng, you're here." A thin old man in his sixties walked over.

Sun Sicheng bowed quickly and said, "Your Excellency."

Ping'an looked up and saw Yuanzheng. Isn't that the father of the childhood sweetheart of the master whom he met on the way?

This old man looks like a nice person, but how come he gave birth to a daughter like that?

"Sicheng, the Crown Prince has had some abdominal pain since yesterday, but it wasn't severe, so he didn't say anything. But it suddenly started to hurt this morning, and it's getting worse.

We have concluded that he has an acute intestinal abscess, and the medicine is not very effective. Doctor Huang is not here, and Doctor Ning dare not operate alone. My eyesight is not good recently, and it is night time, so I dare not operate on him. I have no choice but to ask you to come over."

"Master Yuanzheng, let me take Ping'an in to take a look." Just as he finished speaking, a group of people came in from outside the door.

Zhu Yuan was busy greeting the visitor: "Prince, Sun Sicheng and his apprentice have arrived safely, and they brought a medical assistant with them."

Ping An lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the person coming. He was a very handsome man in his twenties or thirties. Next to him was a beautiful woman in palace dress. She looked anxious. She must be the Crown Princess, the biological mother of the Crown Prince.

"You are Sun Sicheng, whom we have met before."

"Yes, Sun Sicheng and his disciples are here to pay their respects to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess safely."

"No need to be polite. This boy is Ping An, right? I heard that you had surgery for intestinal abscesses. Was surgery necessary? Would medication not work?"

"Your Highness, if it is an acute intestinal abscess and not serious, it can be controlled with medication. But according to what Lord Yuanzheng said, the only way to cure your grandson's illness is surgery, and it has to be done quickly. Once the intestines are damaged and pus and blood stain the abdominal cavity, it will be very dangerous."

"Master Sun, please go in quickly and perform surgery on my son." The Crown Princess began to cry.

"Sun Sicheng is safe. Crown Prince, please do your best to cure him."

"Yes, Prince."

The situation was critical, so Sun Sicheng said no more. He took Ping'an and Ruyi to the side hall to put on coats and masks, and disinfected his hands carefully.

Zhu Yuan was busy taking them into the prince's temporary emergency room.

…

Chang Chunfeng barely managed to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Husband, please eat more. We still have to stay up tonight. Ping An went out with the eldest son to treat illnesses. For a doctor, isn't that normal?"

Chang Chunfeng smiled bitterly: "I'm full. I'll go wash up first and stay up with Yan'er later. If you and Jin'er are tired, you can rest early."

"Well, Jin'er and I will also stay for an hour."

After Chang Chunfeng left, Jin'er looked at the side without her father: "My father is really like that. He always smiles when his eldest son comes, but frowns when he leaves. Tonight is New Year's Eve, can't our family just have a good New Year? That Ping An is really a bummer."

"Okay, I'll tell Dad later that you called Big Brother by his name and didn't like him."

Chang Jin was angry: "You little ungrateful bastard, who is your biological sister? Don't be confused."

Chang Yan puffed out her chest and said, "Big Brother is also my real big brother. I am not wrong. You are the ungrateful little wolf. You just accepted big brother's good things this afternoon. Why don't you return all the good things you have received from big brother over the years to him."

"Why should I return it? He gave it to me himself. I didn't ask him for it. Mom, you should take care of him."

Zhang Jinyu felt a headache. The two children quarreled whenever they had free time these days. It was so annoying.
