Chapter 1: Healing
the World Dayue Dynasty, the 22nd year of Zongming, Imperial Hospital.
It hurts, it hurts so much! Gu Dan lay on the bed with his eyes closed, sweat pouring down his face, his brows furrowed, and his heart and lungs felt like they were on fire.
Especially the throat, which was dry and stinging, as if I had swallowed a thousand needles.
"water"
Relying on the most primitive instinct of his body, Gu Dan went through untold hardships and finally managed to utter a word. He then felt an extremely sharp pain in his throat and his face became even more ferocious.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Okay, okay, the emperor's grace is so great, the emperor's grace is so great!"
"This is all thanks to the Emperor! Hahaha, I knew the Imperial Hospital deserves favor! Quickly send someone to report to the Emperor!"
There were noisy exclamations and revelry in his ears, but there was not a drop of water for Gu Dan.
"Listen to me, gentlemen. The alchemist is trying to murder the Imperial Hospital. We must find out the reason. If it weren't for the Emperor's great blessing, wouldn't our Imperial Hospital be losing another talented person?"
"Mr. Pang is right! We must not let this matter go!"
Then the discussion gradually faded away, but the voices became louder and more intense, and the speeches became more passionate.
After a while, someone finally remembered that there was a living person on the sickbed, so they hurried over to give him water.
The moment he opened his eyes, Gu Dan was about to curse, but suddenly he was stunned.
The person in front of me was wearing a patched robe embroidered with quails, colorful and beautiful.
A flood of memories came flooding back.
Gu Dan was sixteen years old at the time.
The doctor on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau was of low rank.
The so-called doctor, "sheng" means student, and "doctor" means trainee doctor.
Three generations of imperial physicians in his family worked in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but his father's generation was unlucky.
His mother died of complications during childbirth. His father went to Tianlao to treat a murderer, but the murderer knew that he would surely die after being cured, so he chose to trade a one-for-one fight with him.
But after all, the relationship was still there, so he was easily recruited to the Imperial Medical Service and became the doctor on duty there in a daze.
Even if you can't do much, you won't starve to death.
This should have been a good thing, but something big happened some time ago.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs quoted the price of vegetables: one egg cost twenty taels of silver.
The government and the public were in uproar!
For a time, impeachment statements were flying everywhere, and most of the wording was not very good.
The current Emperor Zong Ming is really furious! The treacherous ministers are in power and are so rampant!
I am the emperor of a country, and my virtue is known to all. How can I not afford to eat an egg worth twenty taels of silver? Is it because my virtue is not worthy of it? Those who impeach me will either be exiled or scolded.
Later, it was learned that the eggs purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not laid by ordinary pheasants, but by black chickens that were said to have a trace of dragon blood!
How can the dignity of the black chicken be compared to that of ordinary chickens? It is said that even its call is extraordinary.
Everyone knows that the current emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortals and cannot extricate himself. He has not attended court for ten years and is extremely fond of alchemists.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs catered to their wishes, and those short-sighted guys naturally fell one after another.
But the matter did not end there.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs can use it, why can’t my Imperial Hospital use it?
The Imperial Hospital, which had long been suppressed by the alchemists, was overjoyed. Your Majesty, we also have something extraordinary here! Soon, the Imperial Physician hurried to report that there was a pine tree in the Imperial Hospital, with straight green leaves and branches.
The most important thing is that the tree is a thousand years old, has stood for several dynasties, and has not bloomed for a hundred years. But this year, it is filled with fragrance!
This must mean that the emperor is blessed with great fortune, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The pine trees are moved and bloom the flowers of immortality for the emperor, and there is hope for the immortal path! If things only develop to this point, it may still be a good thing for Gu Dan.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
When the Taoist priest heard this, he smiled slightly.
Your Majesty, I have two pills here, which I obtained from the former residence of the sage.
However, the achievements of our predecessors far surpass ours, and we have not yet comprehended the profound principles behind them, so we dare not use them indiscriminately.
The Imperial Medical Bureau was not only an important national institution, but also shouldered the responsibility for the health of the emperor, which might be a wonderful thing about it.
So Emperor Zong Ming, who came to visit the thousand-year-old pine tree that blooms for a hundred years, brought the elixir with him.
Naturally, the Imperial Hospital was helpless against the elixir that the alchemist had taken out from nowhere, and could not explain why.
Emperor Zong Ming did not blame him. He was overjoyed to see the thousand-year-old pine tree blooming.
As a result, when he turned around, he was surprised to find that the imperial physician had a son who looked quite extraordinary. The emperor was very pleased and gave him a pill.
Well, that unlucky guy is Gu Dan.
If an elder gives something, one cannot refuse it, let alone if it is given by the emperor? Soon, two guards held Gu Dan, and one guard immediately stuffed the pill into Gu Dan's mouth.
Gu Dan didn’t know what happened next.
When I woke up again, I saw the same scene before my eyes.
He knew the imperial physician in front of him who was wearing the eighth-rank official uniform. He was a close friend of the original body's father, and it was he who helped get Gu Danyun to work as a doctor in the Imperial Hospital.
"Uncle Xu, what is this?" After being stunned for a long time, Gu Dan was finally able to speak again.
But the voice was hoarse and low, and there was a soreness in the throat.
"You still recognize who I am. Not bad." Andy Hui exhaled, and a smile finally appeared on his face. "This is the grace of God. You are lucky!"
Gu Dan: “.?”
If you want me to die, you can just say it.
"When your father was brutally murdered by a villain, I went against all odds and tried my best to get you into the Imperial Hospital. Now you have been framed by an alchemist, but you were spared thanks to the grace of the Emperor. This matter cannot be let go. Don't worry, the Imperial Hospital will stand up for you!"
Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, Andy Hui quickly tried to remedy the situation.
"What exactly is that pill?" Gu Dan perked up and asked with all his strength.
“I don’t know.” Andy Hui shook his head.
That broken pill was black and rough, not round at all, and it didn't look like a good thing.
However, since Gu Dan was able to survive after taking the elixir, it must be due to the emperor’s great fortune!
"You should rest here and recover from your injuries. Don't get out of bed recently." Xu Zhian looked up and saw that his colleagues had gone to complain to the emperor. He was immediately anxious and called out, "Xiaoyi, come here!"
Soon, a girl who was slightly younger than Gu Dan ran over and asked, "Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"
"You take good care of this kid first and don't let him get out of bed. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!" Andy Hui said a few words quickly and left in a hurry.
Watching Andy Hui walking further and further away, Gu Dan and Lin Xiaoyi stared at each other in wide eyes.
Of course there were female doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Although it was taboo to avoid doctors, it was really unacceptable for there to be no female doctors in the three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines.
"Tell me what happened in recent days?" After a moment of silence, Gu Dan asked first.
"Everyone was so worried during the days you were in a coma!"
Xiaoyi began to repeat obediently.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Soon, Gu Dan had completed the puzzle of his memory.
As the saying goes, what the superiors like, the subordinates will do.
Emperor Zong Ming was obsessed with seeking immortality, which naturally led to the prevalence of this trend throughout the court and the country. Whenever the princes and nobles felt unwell, the first thing they thought of was definitely not the Imperial Hospital, but to find an alchemist.
Just look for him, it just so happens that the alchemist is quite good at treating diseases!
This is really outrageous! Even a dog chasing a mouse is considered meddling in other people's business, but the Taoist priests directly took away most of the jobs of the Imperial Hospital. How can we tolerate this?
able.
The emperor was favoring him, so who among the civil and military officials in the court dared to provoke the alchemist? The Imperial Hospital was helpless.
It was not until the incident at the Ministry of Internal Affairs became a big deal that the Imperial Hospital came up with a brilliant plan.
As a result, the auspicious sign that was so hard to create was finally visited by Emperor Zong Ming, but it was tricked by the alchemist again. How could something unexpected happen again?
Emperor Zongming's gift of elixir was a kind of divine favor anyway, so everyone rushed to feed Master Gu the medicine! As a result, he stayed in bed for four days.
All the doctors surrounded him, helpless.
"I'll fuck your mother!"
After gathering the whole picture of the incident, Gu Dan opened his mouth with a simple verse that was a traditional Chinese quintessence.
"Huh? What?" Lin Xiaoyi didn't understand.
"I'm hungry, could you please help me get something to eat?" Gu Dan forced a smile.
As soon as Lin Xiaoyi left, Gu Dan's face immediately darkened.
"You dog emperor, I hope you'll die immediately after taking the pills!"
When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond will suffer.
The Imperial Hospital wanted to wrestle with the Taoist priest, but he was the one who got into trouble. How could he reason with this? The burning sensation in his chest became more and more obvious. According to his recollection, the broken pill might just be the residue of hundreds of years of expiration, which was just a ball of expired food.
Thinking of this, Gu Dan couldn't help but close his eyes.
What a sin! As my thoughts raced, a white light suddenly appeared! [The way of heaven is to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency; the way of man is to take away the deficiency and serve the surplus]
The vast and ancient words emerged in my mind, showing a magnificent aura.
Then another golden light followed closely, not willing to be outdone.
[Practice medicine to save the world, cure diseases and save lives; just do good deeds, don’t worry about the future]
Two lines of words, one in white and one in gold, appeared in my mind and then disappeared.
In its place is a brand new line of text.
【Lifespan: 26/47 (-33) years】
Gu Dan was stunned.
Isn’t this familiar scene the little game he was playing called "Xuanhu Jishi"?
Although the opening looks grand and even the name shows compassion, the content is a bit too much about wishing good people a peaceful life.
As soon as he entered the game, he went to the boudoir to treat the young daughter of a wealthy businessman. Not long after, he ran to the Kingdom of Women to do good deeds. After finally leaving the Kingdom of Women, he just came to a place called Pansi Cave. Before he had time to criticize it seriously, when he woke up, he saw the scene before his eyes.
But now Gu Dan has to accept reality.
He traveled through time.
And it doesn't live long.
His mind was immersed in the words about lifespan, and Gu suddenly had an epiphany in his worry.
Because he ate an expired pill from who knows how many years ago, not only had his body been accelerated by ten years, but his lifespan limit of thirty-three years was also directly reduced.
He used to live to be eighty, but now he can only live to forty-seven at most.
"That pill must be at least half filled with arsenic, right?" Gu Dan cursed angrily. One pill reduced his lifespan by forty-three years. Who could withstand that?
"If the dog emperor had given me two pills, would I still have to owe him some?"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Dan tried to calm himself down.
Although he looked like he would soon die, he actually had twenty-one years left to live.
What's more, he has a golden finger, so there are plenty of ways to make up for the lost lifespan.
The problem is that when the game was about curing diseases and saving lives, he mainly watched the process and simply skipped the reward of life span.
I'm not really sure how to get it and how much I can get.
The good news is that he still has time to explore slowly, so there is no need to rush.
The bad news is “Did I format my phone?!”
