Wei Xiyin invited the person to the quiet courtyard next door for a detailed discussion.
Doctor Xu didn't keep the secret. "Your brother's legs can be cured. Willow branches can be used to set bones, but if we delay too long, we can't guarantee the results."
As he spoke, he listed the herbs he needed.
When the guard who brought the news arrived at Hedong State, he had already explained the basic situation. He brought out the bone-setting pills and ointment, but what was missing were willow branches and cockscomb blood.
It’s hard to find a live rooster nowadays. There are no live chickens in the entire Huaili County.
Wei Xiyin felt relieved after reading the prescription, "Just give me the missing materials." As long as it can cure the disease, it's fine.
Hope is better than anything else.
It was spring now, and fresh willow branches were easy to find. As for live chickens, she didn't believe that there were none in the entire Sizhou.
Doctor Xu said "hmm" faintly.
"As for your father..." He paused here and glanced at the princess who was listening carefully beside him.
Wei Xiyin's heart tightened as he spoke. She turned to Yuan Jin and said with a smile, "The grain transport team just arrived. It seems His Highness Hedong brought a letter to the princess. The guards outside seem to be looking for the princess."
When Yuan Jin heard this, she knew that her brother must be missing her.
She stood up hesitantly, fearing that Doctor Xu would embarrass Wu Niang. What if he asked Wu Niang for the medical fee in private while she was away? What should she do then?
Wei Xiyin added, "Don't worry, my lady. With your promise, Doctor Xu won't do anything rash."
Doctor Xu snorted again, turned his head away, and did not refute.
Yuan Jin finally felt relieved. "Okay, I'll go out and take a look. Wu Niang, you guys can chat first. If you're missing any herbs, tell me and I'll send someone back to look for them."
Wei Xiyin agreed with a smile.
After everyone leaves.
There were only two people left in the hospital.
Doctor Xu spoke slowly, "Your father was in good health, but suddenly became unwell, experiencing hallucinations, delusions, and monologues... But when I inquired about the cause of his illness, your mother remained clueless."
"When heart disease arises, self-discipline and a return to propriety are the key to identifying the root of the disease, so that the right remedy can be prescribed."
"I don't know the cause of the disease, how can I treat it?"
Wei Xiyin remained silent. Her father was traumatized and had a nervous disorder.
Doctor Xu sent Yuan Jin away, probably because he wanted to ask his father what kind of shock he had suffered.
But the reason cannot be explained.
Doctor Xu saw that she was silent and thought that she didn't understand either.
The eldest siblings only found someone recently, so it’s understandable that they don’t know much.
He only said: "He may be crazy, but at least he's healthy and alive. Your father has been an official for many years and has seen all kinds of storms. To be able to provoke him like this, it must be something very serious..."
"Even if it's cured, people may not be able to accept it when they wake up. What if they can't get over it..." He meant that he didn't know the cause of the disease and it was extremely difficult to cure.
There is a solution, but it requires external stimulation to explore the cause of the disease, which is bound to take too long.
He can't stay in Fufeng County for the next few months.
When the princess returns, he will definitely follow her.
The Hedong Kingdom was in ruins, and he was the only medical officer in his fiefdom. The apprentices he brought with him were not yet capable of handling the case on their own. If someone in his family fell ill and he could not get back in time, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
So Doctor Xu deliberately said the above words to stop her.
Little did he know that his words dealt a heavy blow to Wei Xiyin.
The whole person was enlightened as if by lightning, and completely woke up.
Once my father wakes up...
How could my father accept the loss of his relatives when he returned to the fort?
Wei Xiyin's chest heaved as she spoke with difficulty, "Doctor Xu is absolutely right. Please treat my brother first, and we can discuss my father's condition later."
This is her choice.
Wei Xiyin didn't ask for anything else. It didn't matter if her father was crazy or not, as long as he could live.
She didn't want her father to face the devastated world after waking up. The guilt and remorse would crush him and make him ashamed to live.
Perhaps when the disaster is over and the world is at peace, then will be the time for healing.
Wei Xiyin stood up and saluted Doctor Xu sincerely, "Please do your best to treat my brother. As for the medical fee, the princess doesn't want it, but I insist on giving it. If you can heal my brother's legs, Wu Niang will give it to you with both hands."
Money is useless. As a royal physician, he must not be short of food. The only thing he needs is the ice-making recipe.
In her eyes, it's worth it, and that's enough.
Doctor Xu, however, didn't take the consultation fee seriously and said, "A doctor must first be virtuous. Since I have agreed to treat you, why would I care about your meager food?"
He mentioned it just now because he was worried that his daughter would suffer a loss. He thought the medical fee was food and looked quite disdainful.
Wei Xiyin did not argue with him and personally ordered the guards to clean up a courtyard for Doctor Xu to rest.
"Send someone to Hongnong to ask if there are any live roosters. We can buy a small black ball." As soon as she came out, she immediately made arrangements.
The guard knew that he needed to treat Dalangjun's legs, so he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."
People outside the county town heard the sound of horse hooves again. Everyone had gotten used to it these days and became very calm. They were all doing their own farm work and didn't even bother to raise their heads.
After Wei Xiyin had arranged everything, she took the time to step into the house and take out the two letters brought by the guards.
She first opened the letter written by Gong Chun.
Gong Chun learned from her and his speech became particularly straightforward.
The letter informed her that the construction of Gongjiawu Fort had already begun. With the help of the army, tens of thousands of people were working at the same time, and the progress was extremely fast. It was expected to be completed in another month.
He has sorted out all the affairs of the Gong family and is in charge of the family smoothly. On behalf of the entire Gong family, he accepted her previous proposal and will be responsible for clearing out the zombies in the territory and finding all the meteorites in the territory.
Gong Chun began to put forward conditions.
Since the granary is about to be divided up, there is no need for the Gong family to stay in Lu's family. They must return to Qichuan eventually.
But today, most of the spring has passed, and it is obviously too late for spring plowing. We have to consider the natural disasters in summer and winter, and the grain in the granary. He asked for 100,000 dan and 200 small black balls.
Wei Xiyin was speechless when she saw this.
He really turned his back on me. A few days ago, they were on the same front, but now that he has inherited the family, he turns around and starts to covet her equipment.
Although the small black balls were carried in large quantities, more than half of them were consumed in two battles to kill the enemy and in blowing up Gongjiawu Fort. Now there are only about 2,000 left.
She had to save some in case of emergency on the way back.
She had already agreed to the deal with Hedong State and handed the matter over to Chu Yu to arrange.
Those are silkworms, which can not only be used to make textiles, but also as medicine.
Well, silkworm pupae are also rich in protein.
With this batch of mulberry silkworms, Ling County will surely live better and better.
Gong Chun was very familiar with the situation of Wei's Fortress and knew that as long as there were enough raw materials, the small black balls could be produced indefinitely, but the problem was that the distance was too far and it was impossible to send the small black balls to Sizhou specifically.
If you don’t ask for it now, you won’t know when the next time will come.
The enemy has not been completely eliminated yet, and people like Gong Chun will definitely take precautions in advance.
Wei Xiyin curled her lips, put his letter aside and opened another one.
First see what Chu Yu said, and then reply.
