After a whole day of in-depth communication and discussion, Liu Xueyu has gained a general understanding of the series of changes that have taken place in the country since he left Shu.
She was very surprised because only a few months had passed and the Shu Kingdom, which had seemed quite stable, had become so turbulent and the situation had become so confusing.
During this whole day of observation and reflection, Liu Xueyu also found some reassuring signs. She noticed that the symptoms of her father's illness seemed very similar to the pneumonia symptoms that Chu Fan had described.
Chu Fan had mentioned this condition when treating Changsun Pinqing, calling it pneumonia. Liu Xueyu couldn't help but recall their conversation, where Chu Fan had explained the condition in detail and the treatments required. This had given her a certain understanding of her father's condition and given her a glimmer of hope that a cure was possible.
Liu Xueyu sat beside the King of Shu's bed and asked with concern, "Father, have you been feeling listless and tired lately? Also, have you been coughing constantly, breathing rapidly, or even having difficulty breathing? Also, do you occasionally feel warm or even have a fever?"
Although the King of Shu was a little confused as to why Liu Xueyu asked these questions, he nodded slightly, indicating that her description did match his symptoms.
When Liu Xueyu saw the King of Shu nod in confirmation, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She continued, "If these are the only symptoms of your illness, Father, please rest assured that I have a way to treat you."
Liu Xueyu secretly felt fortunate, recalling how Changsun Pinqing had gifted her some high-purity penicillin upon her return to Shu. She hadn't refused it then, and now it seemed like a wise decision. Otherwise, facing her father's illness, she truly didn't know how to cope.
When Liu Xueyu confidently declared that he had a way to cure the King of Shu's chronic illness, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. Everyone in the palace thought they were hallucinating.
The King of Shu, his wife, and the two princes all stared at Liu Xueyu in disbelief. What had happened in Wei that had changed her so drastically? They were filled with doubts, wondering why Liu Xueyu was so confident. After all, the Shu Kingdom's imperial physicians were helpless, yet Liu Xueyu claimed to be able to cure a disease that even the imperial physicians were unable to treat.
The eldest prince, Liu Shan, excitedly broke the silence. He eagerly asked, "Third sister, do you really have a way to cure father's illness?" His voice was filled with anticipation and anxiety, as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness. He was also extremely afraid that what Liu Xueyu had just said was just his hallucination.
Liu Xueyu's mother, Consort Cao, and her second brother, Liu Pei, also gazed at her with eager eyes, their faces filled with anxiety and anticipation. Tears glistened in Consort Cao's eyes, while Liu Pei clenched his fists, hoping that what Liu Xueyu had just said was true and not just some soothing ploy. They silently prayed for a miracle.
Liu Xueyu sensed her family's concern and expectations, and she nodded firmly. In a calm and confident voice, she replied, "Mother, elder brother, and second brother, you don't have to worry too much. Father's condition is very similar to the one a close sister suffered from when I was in Wei."
I personally witnessed the King of Wei treating my dear sister, and I also have the medicine that treated her. I have fully mastered the treatment for pneumonia. While I can't guarantee 100% success, I am 70% confident that I can cure my father's illness.
Her voice echoed in the palace, as if bringing hope to everyone present.
When Liu Xueyu saw that her mother and two brothers were still unwilling to believe what she said.
Liu Xueyu recounted to them the scene she had witnessed in Wei, where Chu Fan personally treated Zhangsun Pinqing. She described in detail how Chu Fan used his medical skills and his imperial methods to cure the patient while gaining the loyalty of a powerful official.
After listening to Liu Xueyu's narration, the King of Shu smiled with satisfaction. He said with emotion, "I have long known that Chu Fan is destined to achieve extraordinary success. His talent and kindness will enable him to lead the State of Wei to greatness."
The King of Shu had met the young Chu Fan during his escape to the State of Wei. At that time, his third daughter had a close relationship with Chu Fan, and the King of Shu himself had high hopes for Chu Fan.
After hearing Liu Xueyu's words, Cao Zhaoyi completely believed that Liu Xueyu could cure the King of Shu. She hurriedly asked with concern, "Third girl, what do you need us to do for you?"
Liu Xueyu's two brothers also stepped forward and expressed their willingness to help. They said, "Whatever medicine you need, leave it to us. We will do our best."
Liu Xueyu rolled her eyes at her two honest brothers and ignored them. She turned to her mother and said gently:
"Mother, please boil some water and bring me a bowl. I'm worried that if I ask the palace maids to do it, the guards outside might stop them. I already have the medicine to treat my father, so there's no need to go get more."
After hearing Liu Xueyu's words, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, Cao Zhaoyi stood up to boil water. Although Cao Zhaoyi was a princess, she had experienced the hardships of fleeing to Wei with the King of Shu, so she was naturally familiar with daily tasks like boiling water.
