Starting with a choice of a wife, a princess, a female general, and a down-on-her-luck Young Miss. But in this Warring States period, beauty is worthless; you need someone strong and capable. Excus...
After saying this, Sun Jian, to prevent the two from continuing to argue on this issue and affecting the overall situation, directly and definitively said, "Alright, this matter is settled. You two should stop arguing!"
"And don't bring up those words again. If you do, don't worry about me turning my back on you and showing no mercy!"
"Well……"
Mi Zhu was rendered speechless by Sun Jian's words.
You could even say he was speechless...
What happened?
Why did the lord suddenly show signs of anger?
He completely failed to understand why the lord would utter such harsh words simply because he was willing to cooperate with the demonstration.
But seeing the scene, Sun Jian had already said all he could, so he couldn't say anything more.
In short, let's leave it at that.
Since the lord wants to find a pretty maid, then he can arrange one.
Mi Zhu and Lin Jingsi exchanged another glance with complicated expressions, and then nodded in succession.
Finally, Sun Jian's request was agreed to, and the matter was settled.
The three then discussed in detail some of the wedding procedures and things to pay attention to.
In particular, they also gave Sun Jian a set of "hosting scripts and procedures".
With this, the two men's purpose in coming to the Marquis's residence was fulfilled.
Sun Jian's expression was somewhat abnormal, and both of them were extremely busy with countless matters.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they left without lingering.
Even after the two men left, on their way back to the manor, neither of them could comprehend why Sun Jian had acted so strangely today—demanding a maid, requiring demonstrations and cooperation, and almost turning on them in the end…
"Lord Lin, what do you think was the meaning behind what the Marquis said later today?"
Mi Zhu's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.
He pondered and pondered but couldn't understand what Sun Jian was trying to convey to him.
Lin Jingsi also looked helpless. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Lord Mi, I don't know either."
"Could it be... could it be that Your Majesty likes beautiful women and wants to take a concubine? Is that why you're hinting at it to me in this way?"
After thinking for a while, Mi Zhu put forward a hypothesis.
"Taking a concubine? A beautiful woman?"
Lin Jingsi repeated Mi Zhu's words, then nodded with a hint of lingering interest, seemingly agreeing with the logic.
The two continued to explore this line of thought...
Finally, Lin Jingsi said to Mi Zhu from the carriage, "Alright, Lord Mi, don't think about it anymore. The Marquis is a rare man in the world. How can people like us presume to understand or comment on his thoughts?"
"Too."
After thinking about it, Mi Zhu felt that Lin Jingsi's words made a lot of sense. He nodded heavily and stopped worrying about the problem. Instead, he began to think about how to find a maid that would satisfy Sun Jian.
After thinking for a moment, Mi Zhu turned to Lin Jingsi, who was riding with him, and asked:
"Lord Lin, why do you think the Marquis insists on finding a beautiful maid? Could it be that the Marquis is hinting at something to us?"
Lin Jingsi sighed softly, "I don't know either."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said to Mi Zhu, "Lord Mi, how about this, let me take charge of the Marquis's request, after all, this booklet is ultimately a task of our Ministry of Rites."
"...Alright!"
After much deliberation, Mi Zhu gave his answer in agreement.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Lin Jingsi cupped his hands in greeting, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
After explaining the various matters concerning the Crown Prince's wedding, he would definitely report what had happened today, as well as Sun Jian's strange reactions and actions, to his master to see what his master's next plan was...
On the other hand, let's look at Sun Jian's side.
After Lin Jingsi and Mi Zhu left, he stopped worrying about the yellow book and instead started seriously thinking about treating the emperor the next day.
As for Mi Zhu's homosexual tendencies, Sun Jian can simply stay away from him in the future. Party members are not necessarily friends, and Sun Jian doesn't need anyone to teach him this principle.
Compared to teaching His Highness the Crown Prince how to handle affairs three days later, it is more important to treat the Crown Prince's father tomorrow.
Fortunately, Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan'er saw that their husband was busy with important matters and couldn't bear to disturb him. They simply brought some fruit platters, snacks, and strong tea before leaving the study to give Sun Jian a quiet environment.
Sun Jian wrote down everything he could think of on how to treat Emperor Ganwu.
From the perspective of modern medical technology, Emperor Ganwu's condition was actually a case of cardiopulmonary failure and severe heavy metal poisoning.
As for how Sun Jian knew, it's actually quite simple.
By combining the history of Emperor Ganwu's use of elixirs with his many years of military service, we can make an analysis.
Heavy metal poisoning is difficult to treat, let alone Emperor Qianlong, who had exhausted his vital energy.
As I said before, there is no possibility of a cure in this situation, but it is possible to maintain the functioning of various organs through certain means, drugs, and equipment, thereby prolonging life.
Previously, Sun Jian not only needed a ventilator and a nasogastric tube, but also had to use the antibiotics and adrenaline that were available in his backpack.
The reason for using antibiotics and adrenaline was that Sun Jian estimated that Emperor Ganwu still had this hidden ailment and red wound, most likely caused by a poisoned arrow, and the wound kept getting infected.
It gets better and then gets worse again, and it keeps recurring even after treatment.
Just like Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period, who was wounded by a poisoned arrow in his shoulder and had his bone scraped and healed by the legendary physician Hua Tuo.
Given the medical technology and standards of that era, it would be extremely difficult to completely cure injuries inflicted by highly poisonous blades and arrows.
Even with the strongest physical constitution, one cannot withstand repeated infections.
Of course, Sun Jian didn't witness it firsthand, so he couldn't be certain that such a situation would occur. He was simply taking precautions by writing down all the problems he could think of and preparing in advance.
If it is heart failure, cardiotonic drugs and beta-blockers will be needed. As for lung failure and failure of other internal organs, long-term intravenous injections may be required.
Although Sun Jian did not understand medicine, he did have some knowledge of nursing.
After writing down a series of lists, Sun Jian opened the system with his mind.
Upon receiving Sun Jian's instruction, the system started immediately.
Sun Jian ignored the personal panel page and went straight to the points mall.
Start redeeming items one by one according to the list.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully exchanged for the heart stimulant. 10 points have been consumed. You currently have 443 points remaining!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Pig zodiac sign for successfully redeeming a cardiopulmonary resuscitation machine. 20 points have been consumed. You currently have 423 points remaining!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully exchanged for an intravenous injection needle..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have exchanged for an intravenous infusion set, diuretics, RAAS inhibitors, and vasodilators..."
