Because the recruitment went exceptionally smoothly, the next day, Shen Kuo took on the role of host, and together with his wife, he enthusiastically showed the two of them around Hangzhou.
It was September, and the two of them went to eat the most famous hairy crabs in the area, at Shen Kuo's strong recommendation.
It was Yun Zhourong's first time eating crab, and she didn't know where to start. So Ji Minxiu took care of it himself and peeled the crab meat and crab roe for her and put them on a plate.
The couple's loving demeanor made Madam Shen very envious.
After all, in this era, it is usually the wife who serves the husband, and it is rare to see a husband who dotes on his wife like this.
On the last day, after saying goodbye to their families, Shen Kuo and his wife left the city and boarded a helicopter.
Flying in the sky, looking down at the magnificent and boundless mountains and rivers, the two were completely stunned.
Shen Kuo had followed his father to various official posts since childhood, traveling all over the country and gaining extensive knowledge, but he had never been so shocked as he was now.
After a long pause, he excitedly asked, "Will our Great Sheng Dynasty be able to have its own helicopters in the future?"
Ji Minxiu nodded, "Well, it's hard to say."
Upon hearing this, Shen Kuo's agitated emotions calmed down somewhat, and he asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
"If technology can develop smoothly, there will naturally be no problem, but if the development is slow or interrupted, then that's another story," Ji Minxiu said calmly.
However, these words made Shen Kuo fall into deep thought.
His original plan was to learn more from Ji Minxiu during the two years of mourning.
However, after witnessing such amazing high technology, he had come to a profound realization of his own insignificance and knew that this was bound to be a very difficult and long road.
It's impossible to learn much in just two short years.
Seeing that Shen Kuo had stopped speaking, Ji Minxiu slightly curled the corners of his lips.
It's good if your heart wavers; wavering means there's an opportunity.
After arriving in Qiongzhou, Shen Kuo temporarily stayed at the Yun family's residence, where he would later study under Ji Minxiu along with the other playboys from before.
Those spoiled brats weren't born bad; they just lacked life goals and were instigated by others to seek thrills.
Now that they have a goal, they are all working so hard that they forget to eat and sleep, and have completely changed their bad habits.
Several spoiled brats' family members have visited the Yun family many times to deliver lavish gifts as a token of their gratitude.
They didn't actually expect these spoiled brats to learn anything; as long as they caused trouble, that was the best thing for them.
Just as they had settled everyone in, Zhou Renjun suddenly sent someone over, saying that the Crown Prince's condition had suddenly changed, and he had fallen into a state of madness, violently injuring people in various ways.
"How could this be!"
Ji Minxiu and Yun Zhourong were both shocked and quickly took Lan Jianhe to the prefect's house.
Now, he is the only one who can save Zhao Xuanheng.
After all, the conditions for craniotomy were not available in this era, and Ji Minxiu's non-professional skills were not up to the task of performing such a large-scale operation.
"ah!"
Upon arriving at the backyard, they immediately heard Zhao Xuanheng shouting.
Upon entering the house, they found that the person had been tied up with ropes, but was still struggling and shouting incessantly, completely out of his mind.
Zhou Yueshan was terrified and hid in the prefect's wife's arms, crying. Even so, she still refused to leave and insisted on guarding the door.
"Father, has the Emperor's new appointment not arrived yet?" Yun Zhourong asked anxiously.
Zhou Renjun shook his head. "No, it's four thousand li from Qiongzhou to the capital. Even with the fastest express courier service, it would take at least half a month to make a round trip."
"It's been so long, but now it's clear we can't wait any longer."
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she looked at Lan Jianhe and asked, "Master, please take a look and tell me the specific situation. Is it still treatable?"
Lan Jianhe said with a solemn expression, "It can be cured, but have you decided whether to treat it or not?"
"Treat him!" In the end, Zhou Renjun gritted his teeth and made the decision.
"good."
Once the decision to treat was made, Lan Jianhe dismissed everyone, leaving only Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu behind.
Yun Zhourong, as an apprentice, needed to observe and learn, while Ji Minxiu wanted to see just how magical this Gu worm, which had become extinct in later generations, really was.
Soon, Lan Jianhe took out several plump white insects. They were only the size of rice grains and had a lustrous sheen like white jade. They were not scary at all.
After placing the Gu worm under Zhao Xuanheng's nose, who was already unconscious, Lan Jianhe took out a specially made incense and began to guide him.
Before long, the insects that had been crawling around began to systematically crawl into Zhao Xuanheng's nostrils.
"hiss…"
The process was somewhat disgusting, causing Yun Zhourong to shiver involuntarily.
However, in order to study, she endured the discomfort and watched.
Lan Jianhe told her that treating cerebrospinal muscles is a rare opportunity, and she shouldn't miss it.
Ji Minxiu frowned the whole time. He felt that there was a reason why the Gu worm technique had been lost, and this treatment method was indeed not easy to accept.
It's unclear how much time passed, but the worms emerged again from the chosen nose.
However, this time their bodies had all turned dark red, and their size was more than ten times larger than before.
"Master, what is this?" Yun Zhourong stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Ji Minxiu was equally astonished, "So it's a success?"
Lan Jianhe carefully put the Gu worms into the box before nodding and saying, "Indeed, there was a lot of blood stasis in the Crown Prince's brain, but it has all been absorbed now."
"This Gu worm... is truly amazing."
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu couldn't help but murmur to himself, feeling that it was a real pity that later generations had lost such a miraculous healing method.
"How is the situation?"
Upon seeing the three of them emerge, Zhou Renjun immediately stepped forward anxiously to inquire.
"The blood clot in the Crown Prince's brain has been successfully drained, and there is no need to worry about any danger. However, due to the long delay, he will need a relatively long recovery period."
Lan Jianhe smiled and said, "But don't worry, the Crown Prince will recover slowly, and his memories and senses will return."
"That's great, that's really great, as long as you get better!"
This good news finally relieved Zhou Renjun, who bowed deeply to Lan Jianhe, saying, "Mr. Lan, thank you so much. You are a great contributor, and I will definitely write to His Majesty to inform him."
If something were to happen to the eldest prince while he was in charge, he would also be held responsible. Just now, he could be said to have gambled his life and fortune.
The root cause of the eldest prince's illness was eliminated, but for the sake of convenience in taking care of him, he remained in the prefect's residence.
Meanwhile, in Kyoto, the emperor soon received another secret letter from Zhou Renjun.
Suspicion arose instantly, and he coldly said to his confidant, "Investigate immediately. I want to see who dares to forge whose imperial edict. They are truly audacious!"
