Chapter 21 March Deadline Has Expired
The two of them kept joking around and saying meaningless things along the way. Chu Sishui now understood his character more and more clearly. To sum it up in one sentence, he appeared cold on the surface, but his heart was turbulent.
The fear I had towards the ancient royal family at the beginning has faded away with the passage of time.
As long as she doesn't do anything to treason, Rong Zhuo will be 100% tolerant of her.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
Just like last time, Emperor Rong and his concubines, princes, and princesses were already waiting.
The two of them greeted each other quickly.
Emperor Rong said, "No need to be polite. Today is the March deadline, and this is about Zhuo'er's leg. Master Du Song is here, and all the academicians of the Imperial Hospital are here too. Let's get started without further delay."
Everyone respectfully agreed.
Chu Sishui sat down near Wen Renyuan, and someone immediately sat down on her right. She turned her head and saw the prince with peach blossom eyes, who immediately called out, "Third sister-in-law."
Chu Sishui smiled and turned around to watch Du Song take his pulse with everyone else.
After an incense stick of time, Du Song looked at Chu Sishui knowingly, bowed, and returned to the desk to write the medical records.
The academicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau came one after another and bowed and retreated to the desk after half an hour.
For a moment, only the royal, elegant and peaceful scent of agarwood floated in the air.
Du Song was the first to stop writing and bowed, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince's legs can now feel the temperature. I just carefully checked his pulse and found that there seems to be vigorous power in his body. This vigorous power seems to have vitality, and some of the originally necrotic meridians have actually revived."
Emperor Rong pondered with his eyes, looked towards Chu Sishui, and said with a smile, "Really?"
"really."
As soon as he finished speaking, the academician from the Imperial Hospital also reported the pulse condition just now, "Some of the blockages in your body have been cleared now, and the temperature of your legs and feet is much better than before. People with disabilities are most afraid of cold legs and feet, which will block the flow of qi and blood. It seems that the princess's lower limb treatment and medicinal bath are correct."
Even though Emperor Rong wanted to suppress his excitement, he still asked, "Is there any hope of standing up?"
Juniper, "This requires the right time, right place, and right people."
The former queen felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that his legs and feet had recovered. After all, compared with Rong Zhuo, the second prince Rong Bo was still far inferior. After hearing what Du Song said, her worries were reduced a little, but she still asked, "What do you mean?"
Du Song glanced at the academician from the Imperial Hospital, who continued, "Master Du probably meant that it takes a long time for a disabled person to stand up. Some may take a few years, some may take decades, and some may even take a lifetime. It all depends on the patient's constitution and the timing. It doesn't necessarily depend on the medicine alone."
Queen Yuan felt relieved, but a worried look appeared on her face. "Ah..."
The thoughts that had just risen in the minds of Prince Duan Rongbo and Prince Jing Rongyu, who were sitting beside them, now faded away. It turned out that they still couldn't stand up.
King Jing stood up first and walked in front of King Rui. "Don't worry, third brother. Since my sister-in-law has been recognized by the national masters and the academicians of the Imperial Hospital, it means that the method is effective. It just takes a longer time. Third brother has been very talented since he was young. I believe that he will create miracles, just like retaking the city."
Prince Duan immediately continued, "Yes, yes, Third Brother, you must not be discouraged. Second Brother is still waiting to work with you for Father again. Back then, when you and I were dealing with the drought in Jianzhou, Third Brother took the lead and checked the growth of crops every day, and even personally presided over the distribution of relief food. How dazzling Third Brother was at that time. It's all because of that assassin. When Second Brother catches the assassin's mastermind, he will be cut into pieces!"
For a moment, an atmosphere of brotherly love and respect spread. Chu Sishui laughed in her heart. They all hoped that Rong Zhuo would not be able to stand up.
But they will be disappointed. She had released the spiritual spring water so that they could get an answer that was both hopeful and hopeless.
This way she can continue with the subsequent diagnosis and treatment.
Rong Zhuo did not have any opinion on these words, and said calmly, "Thank you, second brother and fourth brother, for your concern."
Emperor Rong now regained control of his previous emotions. The court officials had long had their opinions on the opposing crown princes. Originally, Rong Zhuo was destined to be the heir, but now that he was disabled, he seemed to have lost his strength. All he felt was regret and pity.
Why did God want to torture this son who was so good in every way?
The second prince, Prince Duan, was a man of integrity. The general's faction had already turned against him and insisted on establishing the eldest son as the crown prince. They probably had a lot of private contacts with him.
The fourth prince Jing was a smooth and tactful person, and this time he was engaged to He Yaoguang, the daughter of General He. Although the older group of court officials did not clearly take sides, their opinions were roughly the same.
If you really have to choose between the two, Prince Jing is more suitable than Prince Duan. The Chitian Kingdom does not need war now, but it needs a king to defend the city.
However, Prince Jing's tactfulness and ruthlessness made Emperor Rong hesitate.
As long as he is in good health, he can wait a few more years to gain more experience and make more choices.
Maybe there will be a miracle. The princess chosen by the third brother originally seemed to have a low family background, but now it seems that if it wasn’t her.
The third child may still not get married, perhaps the two of them are destined to be together.
Now his injured leg is getting better, he is a lucky guy.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked Du Song, the Imperial Hospital and others to leave.
"Old Third's, come here."
Chu Sishui saluted with a smile.
"Everyone heard what the imperial physician said just now. It's all thanks to you. They have been treating him for a year and have never seen any improvement."
"We'll talk about the rest later. From now on, your husband's injured leg will be in your care."
Chu Sishui raised her head and said sincerely, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best to treat Your Highness."
Emperor Rong said calmly in his majestic voice, "Well, there's no need to be too stressed. Since you're husband and wife, just discuss it among yourselves."
He turned around and gestured to Chang Jichang, "Here is a pair of white marbles, perfect for you."
Chu Sishui took the item from Eunuch Chang and couldn't hide her happiness, "Thank you, father."
Xiao Concubine, who was sitting in the second seat, had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the pair of jade pendants were a gift from the late emperor. "Your Majesty still loves Prince Rui so much. The late emperor only left a few items in total, and now you are so kind as to give Princess Rui another one."
Emperor Rong was in a good mood today and he rarely joked, "What else does Prince Jing need? How many treasures has he taken from my study since he was sixteen?"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Concubine Xiao smiled and joked, "Your Majesty doesn't care about others. He is going to get married next month. How will he establish his authority then?"
Emperor Rong, "I almost forgot that Yu'er will marry a concubine next month. I just happened to give you this pair of golden double happiness coins. I also wish you and your husband a harmonious marriage."
"Chang Jichang, later you will take a pair of golden double happiness ruyi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a Hetian jade pendant with a picture of a baby playing with a baby, and give the jade pendants to Prince Duan."
The former Queen, who was sitting on the throne, smiled and thanked Rong Bo and Wen Renyuan, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful. Yesterday I was thinking about what to give Yuan'er. Now she is three months pregnant, and Bo'er is also about to have her first child."
When Chu Sishui heard this, her eyes fell on Wen Renyuan's abdomen. No wonder she didn't say anything hurtful today.
