Chapter 518: The Last Gasp
The old prince smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out, and he hugged the little girl with both hands: "Hey! Xinbaoer is so smart! He guessed it right at the first try!!"
Xinbao wanted to say something but didn't. He held his face with both hands and looked at him with eyes wide open: "Grandpa, you're back from the border!?"
"Yes!" The old prince laughed, "We just arrived at midnight yesterday!"
Xinbao asked, "Have you seen Yeye? Have you seen Daddy?"
"Not yet!" The old prince said with a smile, "Didn't I just come here to see you? If I hadn't come back too late yesterday, I would have come last night."
Xinbao stared at him without blinking: "Grandpa, you...you..." She thought for a moment: "Why did you come back so late?"
The old prince coughed and said, "Well, Grandpa was delayed on the road for two days."
As he was speaking, Fang Wuyou had already reported in, and several people from the cabinet and Prime Minister Yuan filed out.
Fang Wuyou came over and said with a smile: "Old Prince, the Emperor invites you in. Little Prince, the Emperor wants you to come in and talk."
Xinbao said, "Wait a moment, Grandpa, please go in first. Xinbao has something else to do."
The old prince laughed, came over and kissed Tuanzi, and without asking any more questions, he hurried in to see the emperor.
Xinbao saw him step in and turned around and ran back.
Hua Shuang and the others were startled and hurried to follow.
Xinbao ran a short distance away from there, then said, "Shadow Guard, I need a Shadow Guard, go find Bai Gusheng, and ask him to come in quickly, now!"
Hua Shuang raised her hand, and a shadow guard popped his head out and bowed to show that he understood. Xin Bao trotted all the way to Shou Pharmacy.
Hua Shuang asked, "Master, is the old prince ill?"
Xinbao nodded, and was rarely a little flustered.
Since she woke up, she has never encountered a disease that she cannot cure.
But everyone will grow old.
The old prince is nearly seventy years old, which is not too old. He looks very majestic, but he has been at the border for many years, sleeping in the open air, working day and night, and has been injured countless times. His body is already at the end of its strength. It is good that there is always a string that is broken. If it relaxes all of a sudden...
For example, now that he is back and the Xiao family has a grandson, he will meet his grandson's family... It is very likely that one night...
Even now, I might be talking to Ye Ye and Daddy. Under such extreme joy and sorrow, I might not be able to hold on. Once I faint, I might never wake up again.
The old prince must have been feeling unwell on the way back. Looking at his face, you can tell that he had just been ill.
Xinbao was so anxious that his throat became hoarse and his voice trembled when he gave orders to the imperial physician.
Fortunately, the imperial physician is now very obedient. He follows her instructions and quickly starts to boil the medicine.
Over there, Emperor Mingpei was also very happy.
He hadn't seen the old prince for nearly ten years. He only met him once when he was patrolling the border.
When the king and his minister met again, they were both old and full of emotion. Yan Qingshan had also met him. The old prince was so excited that he was almost speechless. He just patted his shoulder hard and said, "Good, good, really good."
He couldn't help but shed a few tears: "Really, oh! I won't say anymore! Anyway, I'm glad I'm back!!"
It took a while for the three of them to sit down and talk. Emperor Mingpei even sent someone to summon a few children to meet him.
Just as she was rejoicing, Fang Wuyou came over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Emperor Mingpei's smile suddenly disappeared.
Yan Qingshan asked, "Is there something wrong, Father?"
Emperor Mingpei said, "Father-in-law, please come with me."
The old prince was stunned, and when he stood up suddenly, he was still a little dizzy and swayed. Yan Qingshan hurriedly supported him, and Emperor Mingpei took him directly to the west warm pavilion. Bai Gusheng had already arrived. The imperial physician was holding a bowl of medicine, and when he saw him coming, he handed it to him with both hands.
The old prince was surprised: "What is this?"
When Tuanzi saw his expression, he was so anxious that he could hardly speak: "Grandpa, drink it quickly. This is the medicine Xinbao prescribed. Drink it quickly! Drink it now!!"
When the old prince saw that she was anxious, he didn't bother to ask more questions. He just held the wine in both hands and drank it quickly without being afraid of the heat.
Tuanzi said, "Taigong, take off your coat and lie down."
The old prince quickly took off his military uniform and outer robe, muttering, "Xinbao, Grandpa knows you can heal, but Grandpa is as strong as an ox, it's really okay!"
The old prince's attendant beside him couldn't help but say: "The prince doesn't like doctors. He insists on doing anything. On the way, the prince..."
The old prince shouted, "Shut up!"
Xinbao said: "Don't speak loudly!"
The old prince's voice suddenly dropped eight octaves: "My dear, grandpa is really fine!" and he obediently took off his outer robe.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Bai Gusheng stretched out his hand to feel the pulse, frowning, and said, "Master, how do you... perform acupuncture?"
Tuanzi said, "Xinbao, do it yourself."
Her movements were slow but not inaccurate. She took out the gold needle and started inserting the needle.
When the fourth needle was inserted, the needle in front began to vibrate slightly. As each needle was inserted, the vibration of the needle became stronger and stronger.
But Xinbao was small and couldn't reach some places, so he waved behind him: "Hua Shuang."
Hua Shuang took a step forward: "How do you hold me?"
Xinbao said, "Hold it flat."
Hua Shuang held the dumpling flatly while Xin Bao continued to sew one stitch at a time.
This situation was actually quite funny, but everyone was holding their breath nervously and couldn't laugh at all.
As Xinbao was inserting needles, sweat dripped down his face, and he kept saying, "Grandpa, Grandpa..."
Yan Qingshan noticed it, so he stepped forward and spoke to the old prince: "Grandfather, you haven't seen the children in my family. They are all disobedient and worrying, especially the two little ones. They say they want to learn kung fu every day, but they can't learn anything. Yesterday I told my wife that when you come back, you should teach them well..."
The old prince also sensed the unusual atmosphere and said in a deep voice: "Xinbao, don't work so hard. Grandpa is almost seventy years old now, and he has lived enough..."
"Grandfather!" Yan Qingshan interrupted him directly: "Xinbao is seeing you for the first time today. How upset must Xinbao be when you say such things? This child has been in poor health since she was a child and is very clingy. Her uncle went to the border and cried for two days before he came back... Your grandchildren are about to be born. Won't you hug your grandchildren and teach them yourself?"
Vibrating acupuncture is a test of technique. Xinbao's wrist was sore from exhaustion and his clothes were soaked with sweat before he finally finished the acupuncture.
Hua Shuang carried her down, and Xinbao collapsed directly in Mingpeidi's arms, unable to utter a word of tiredness.
Emperor Mingpei pointed over there and asked several imperial doctors: "Can you do it?"
Several imperial doctors knelt on the spot, not daring to say a word.
There are actually a few people in the Imperial Hospital who know how to use ordinary vibrating acupuncture, but that kind of acupuncture, like the one Bai Gusheng had used on Hao Huashi, is that after all the needles have been inserted together, they are bounced to cause all the needles to vibrate slowly, and it will vibrate for a maximum of half a quarter of an hour before slowly stopping.
But in Xinbao's case, it is obvious that the Qi follows the needles, driving the blood vessels one by one, and even now, the needles are still vibrating! !
This, they really couldn't do. In fact, before today, they had never heard of this kind of vibration needle.
This is obviously... hanging on for dear life.
