Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
484 Every Day Is Like a Year
Sun Sicheng did not sleep well that night and got up twice to check on the crown prince. They were originally staying in a side room of the temporary emergency room.
But Chen Xuan couldn't sleep at all. He was not very fond of sleeping in a strange bed, but it was different in the palace.
They both looked at Ping An enviously, who was lying in the middle of the kang, snoring soundly with steady breathing. How could this person be so carefree?
In the second half of the night, when it was almost dawn, the Crown Prince had a slight fever and his wound began to hurt again. Doctor Ning was a little unsure, so he quickly asked his assistant to call Sun Sicheng.
Ping An slept well that night, but he knew that his master got up several times. Naturally, he knew that his master did not sleep well all night, so he did not wake him up and went to Taisun himself.
"Young Master Ping'an, hasn't your master gotten up yet?" Doctor Ning asked softly.
"My master just fell asleep, so I came to check on him. It's normal to have a slight fever after surgery."
Ping An met a pair of clear eyes, which were a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
The crown prince is awake.
"You are Wan Ping'an, Sun Sicheng's apprentice? Why don't you let your master come? My wound hurts a lot."
"Grandson, I am the surgeon responsible for your surgery. Let me take a look at you first. My master barely slept last night and just dozed off.
The anesthetic on your wound has worn off, so it must be painful. I'll give you a few injections, which will relieve the pain for two hours."
"Okay, go ahead." Taisun could hardly bear the pain, but compared to before the operation, this pain was still bearable.
Doctor Ning was standing nearby, and Ping'an was embarrassed to ask him to go away, so he did not use the Sun family's sixteen pain-relieving needles, but instead used the thirteen pain-relieving needles learned in modern times.
Just as Doctor Ning was about to turn his back, Ping An had already inserted the needle. He stared at it infatuatedly for a moment, and soon, more than a dozen needles were inserted into the Crown Prince's body.
Is this still an eighteen-year-old boy?
His skill in inserting the needle was just like that of an old doctor in his forties or fifties. Young Master Ping'an didn't carry him on his back, and he couldn't see clearly because the needle was inserted too quickly.
After thinking about it, he went out and took the medical assistant with him to make medicine. Ping An would not be on guard against him, but he could not steal his skills blatantly.
His medical skills are inherited from his family, and if Ping An is willing, he would be willing to become his disciple.
But think about it, it's not very likely, and it's even more impossible to take the eldest son as a teacher.
Ping An sat on a stool nearby, smiling at the prince: "Does it hurt better? I'll give you another injection later. You'll inevitably feel pain in the next few days, so don't use too much anesthesia, but the medicine you drink will relieve the pain a little."
The prince no longer felt any pain and felt relieved: "Your acupuncture was good. Were you really the one who performed this surgery on me?"
"Of course, I have a good talent in this area. At night, the master's eyesight is not as good as that of young people, otherwise the master should be the one to perform the surgery.
But don't worry, the operation went smoothly, and you can use some scar removal medicine in the future and even the marks will disappear."
"Aren't you afraid of surgery? I've heard of you. You went to the North when you were twelve. I'm also twelve this year."
"Don't be afraid. Practicing medicine is what I like." Ping An talked to him about the Northern Territory. The prince was stunned when he heard it. He didn't even notice that Ping An had pulled out the needle.
"The medicine is here. I'll talk to you about the sea later. Three years ago, I went to the sea in Minzhou with two friends. Wow." Ping'an smiled and shook his head.
He thought of the kidnapping. Times have changed and now it is just a memory.
The prince laughed, this Ping An is really interesting.
Doctor Ning also smiled, and together with Ping An, he helped the prince drink the medicine and rinse his mouth.
Ping'an looked out the window and saw that it was getting light.
"Doctor Ning, you haven't rested all night. Let me take care of you now. You go and take a rest."
Doctor Ning really couldn't bear it anymore, so he retreated with his medical assistant.
Ping An saw the Crown Prince's bright eyes looking at him and smiled, "Your Highness, you just took the medicine, so you don't feel any pain now. Take this opportunity to take a nap. I'll be watching over you."
The Crown Prince closed his eyes and said nothing more. He had not gotten enough rest in the past two days and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Sun Sicheng came over half an hour later, and Ping An whispered the situation to him.
"Ping An, he is in good condition now, the fever has subsided, and he has fallen asleep. You should go and have some rest too. Chen Xuan didn't sleep last night either. I will stay here for a while, the warden will be here soon."
Ping An nodded and left.
Ruyi can go back today, but Chen Xuan can't leave. The emperor asked last night to let Chen Xuan stay with him. The emperor just said it on a whim, but since he had spoken, they could only obey.
This is the East Palace. They can't go anywhere, let alone walk around. Except for the Crown Prince's place, they can only stay in the small room.
During this Chinese New Year, they really feel like every day is a new year.
When it was daybreak, Zhu Yuanzheng came with an imperial physician.
"Sicheng, how is the Crown Prince?"
Sun Sicheng whispered, "He had a slight fever in the second half of the night, so Ping An got up and gave him an acupuncture injection to relieve the pain. He was given medicine just after dawn, and he is now stable. Doctor Ning and Ping An went to bed an hour ago."
"Sicheng, this is Doctor Xie. He is a good doctor. Let him stay here this morning. You can eat something and then go to rest. You may have to stay for another day tomorrow, and you can go back on the third day of the lunar year."
"Thank you, Master Xie Yuanzheng."
"Sicheng, you used to call me Uncle Zhu, but your father and I have been friends for life."
"Yes, Uncle Zhu, Sicheng will go back to wash up."
Not long after Sun Sicheng left, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess came over.
When they saw that their son looked good, had no fever, and was sleeping well, they both felt relieved.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince had a slight fever in the middle of the night, Ping An gave him an acupuncture, and when it was almost dawn, Doctor Ning helped him drink medicine. Since then, Sun Sicheng has been guarding here. I just asked him to go back and wash up."
The prince nodded in satisfaction: "Is it really Ping An who performed the surgery?"
Zhu Yuanzheng nodded, "Indeed, the operation will be performed at night. Young people's eyesight is much better. In addition, Ping An is extremely talented in this area, so it is naturally safer for him to perform the operation."
"I never thought that Ping An was so capable at such a young age. The general was amazed at him a few years ago."
Zhu Yuanzheng smiled and said, "To be honest, Doctor Ning and I were both stunned last night. It was so amazing. Doctor Ning said afterwards that he was so jealous that he wanted to worship Ping An as his master."
The prince laughed out loud, and the Crown Princess beside him hurriedly asked him to speak in a low voice, saying that even if they were some distance away, they would still wake her son up.
If she were to ask him, since Ping An was so capable, why didn't he just recruit him into the Imperial Hospital? Last night was New Year's Eve, and they were all in the capital. What if they were not in the capital?
She didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
The prince turned around and instructed the eunuch beside him: "Go to the study and get two rare books for Ping An to read. I almost forgot what my father said last night.
It's the New Year, so you should find some gifts to give to Master Sun Sicheng and his apprentice, and also give some to Chen Xuan and the assistant doctor."
