Chapter 229 asked me if I should be the crown prince.
There were a total of twenty-four needles, but it took two whole hours to insert all twenty-four needles.
After all twenty-four needles were inserted, not only was the prince covered in sweat, but the old man's forehead was also covered in sweat.
After the last needle was inserted, the old man breathed a long sigh of relief.
The prince had already fainted from the pain.
Even the old gentleman admired the prince a little. He could grit his teeth and endure the pain until the last injection before fainting. The prince was a tough guy.
After checking the inserted silver needles and taking the prince's pulse, even the old man was relieved.
"Someone come here!" Mr. Lian shouted towards the door.
Emperor Xiao Xuan, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately entered with his eunuchs.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince lying unconscious on the bed, covered in silver needles, Emperor Xiao Xuan visibly staggered.
"This prescription! Go and brew the medicine now, and give it to the Crown Prince every hour."
One bowl every hour, six bowls in a row.
Also remember, do not open the windows, and do not let the Crown Prince be exposed to the wind before I remove the needles.” The old man handed the prescription he had just written to Emperor Xiao Xuan.
Emperor Xiao Xuan immediately handed the prescription to Eunuch Xue, who was standing beside him.
"You will personally lead people to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine. Also, you must keep a close eye on the process of decocting the medicine to ensure that no mistakes are made."
Eunuch Xue quickly took the prescription.
Ye Yunshu did not enter the house, but she could vaguely see the silver needles on the Crown Prince's body from outside.
"Senior, those needles... must have hurt a lot!" Ye Yunshu asked softly.
Mr. Lian glanced at her and nodded.
"It definitely hurts. Most people will scream in pain by the third injection."
The prince didn't cry out in pain until the last injection, at which point he finally fainted from the pain.
Ye Yunshu...
Perhaps the Crown Prince has experienced something even more unbearable than pain!
...
Half a day later, the prince woke up, drank all six bowls of medicine, and the silver needles were removed from his body.
Everyone watched as the Crown Prince slightly rose, and then looked at his face, which, although still somewhat pale, had regained a little color.
It should be a success!
"My son, do you feel any more comfortable?" Emperor Xiao Xuan asked in a trembling voice.
The crown prince took a deep breath and immediately sensed that things were different from before.
No longer is it difficult to breathe, but I can breathe very freely.
More importantly, the occasional feeling of unease and sudden sharp pain in my heart also seemed to have disappeared.
An unprecedented sense of relief, and a feeling of exhilaration like being reborn after a disaster...
"Thank you so much, sir!" The prince hurriedly got out of bed to bow to Elder Lian.
Even the old man carefully put away his silver needles.
"Don't get down. Just stay in bed and rest more these days."
Also, for the next few days, the diet should consist mainly of light vegetarian food. Meat can only be eaten after ten days.
You can resume a normal diet after one month!
Remember what I said: do not overthink, nor overwork yourself. If you fall ill from excessive worry, even a miracle worker couldn't save you!
After Mr. Lian finished speaking, he packed his things and left the Crown Prince's residence.
...
As he left the city gate, Ye Yunshu's men caught up with him.
In addition to presenting a stack of gold banknotes issued by the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs, Mr. Lian was also given an imperial gold medal.
With this gold medal, Mr. Lian can travel freely throughout Chongqing and go anywhere.
Even the old gentleman accepted the gifts Ye Yunshu gave him.
He may not value these things, but perhaps he'll meet someone who needs them.
For example, the northern land I'm about to go to, where my little apprentice often delivers medicine to the poor, must be short of money!
...
The news that the prince's illness had been cured spread quickly.
Everyone knows that their crown prince's long-term illness was cured by an old man from Medicine King Valley.
As for how it was treated... I don't know!
They didn't need to know; they just needed to know that the Crown Prince was cured.
In a foreign city even further north than the northern lands, King Zhao was discussing with his subordinates how to issue a proclamation to reassure the people.
After receiving news from the capital that the Crown Prince's illness had been cured, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to let go of something.
The Crown Prince's illness is cured! That's really great news!
No wonder Father Emperor was in such a hurry to return to the capital; he must want to see the Crown Prince's illness cured with his own eyes.
As for myself...
King Zhao looked around and suddenly understood the meaning of what his father and he had said.
He wanted to make a name for himself, and this foreign land would be the best place for him...
"Alright, this is a good thing. Pick some of the treasures from the foreign royal courts that we just seized and send them back to the capital."
Let's continue with the matter of the proclamation to reassure the people. I think it should not only be written in the foreign language, but also in the language of Dayu.
Now that I have occupied this place, it is now my territory.
Learning to speak the Dayu dialect and recognize the Dayu characters on my territory is of utmost importance.
...
In the Southwest Army's camp, Xiao Huaijin held several letters in his hands.
There was a secret letter sent by his father, a letter from his subordinates, and a letter from Ye Yunshu's elder sister.
At first, Xiao Huaijin enjoyed watching it quite a bit.
The Northern Weiyuan Army achieved a great victory. His father, the emperor, led the Weiyuan Army to the foreign royal court, not only capturing the foreign capital but also taking away the royal family members.
The queen of the foreign land had already fled to a faraway place.
Then Emperor Xiao Xuan returned to the capital in triumph and was warmly welcomed by the people.
Finally, there was the Crown Prince's illness, which he had always been concerned about.
"He's cured! The Grand Elder of Medicine King Valley personally went to the capital to treat the Crown Prince, and now the Crown Prince's health has greatly improved."
The symptoms of shortness of breath and chest pain that I had before have all disappeared.
The Imperial Physician Liu checked the Crown Prince's pulse several times and said that the Crown Prince's health was no different from that of an ordinary person and that he had fully recovered! Xiao Huaijin told everyone from the capital this news.
Xiao Jingjue immediately jumped up with joy.
His father is finally cured and no longer needs to take medicine so often!
The twelfth prince was quite happy. Although he was a bit slow-witted and not as clever as the other princes, he knew what it meant to have a stable position as crown prince.
“It’s a great thing that the Crown Prince has recovered from his illness,” the Twelfth Prince said immediately.
Song Zhimian also heard the news from the side.
She also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be a great joy if the Crown Prince could be cured. He is a good man who loves his people like his own children and should not have to suffer from illness.
only……
Song Zhimian watched as Xiao Huaijin's expression grew increasingly strange as he read the last letter.
"Is... has something happened in the capital?" Song Zhimian asked quickly.
Xiao Huaijin first shook his head, then had someone take Xiao Jingjue and the twelfth prince away.
“My elder sister told me a lot of things in her letter, and she said there was one thing she wanted to ask me!” Xiao Huaijin looked at Song Zhimian.
Song Zhimian was taken aback; it seemed to be something very important.
"Is it related to the Southwest? They should be closing in soon..." Song Zhimian said hurriedly.
Xiao Huaijin shook his head.
"It's neither political nor military affairs!"
My eldest sister asked me... if I wanted to be the crown prince!
Song Zhimian...
