This serious disease was extremely dangerous. In this era without antibiotics, the disease claimed the lives of countless people.
Zhao Huan sat in the imperial sedan chair, covered with three thick quilts. There was also a charcoal brazier inside the sedan chair, but he was still shivering from the cold.
Outside the sedan chair, eunuchs and ministers were running back and forth like a revolving lantern.
"How is His Majesty?" Linghu Yunlong grabbed Sai Huatuo who had just come out of the imperial sedan chair.
Sai Huatuo shook his head, said nothing and just sighed.
Linghu Yunlong was shocked. Even Hua Tuo couldn't cure the disease, so it must be serious.
Sai Hua Tuo quickly walked to the front of the team: "Wu Ge, General Wu!"
Wu Ge reined in his horse and turned back: "Mr. Sai, what's the matter?"
Sai Hua Tuo quietly waved to him, and Wu Ge dismounted and approached: "How is your Majesty?"
Linghu Yunlong followed behind him, and Hua Tuo sighed: "Your Majesty is probably not going to make it."
"What!" Linghu Yunlong and Wu Ge were shocked.
Sai Hua Tuo shook his head: "Your Majesty has contracted a severe cold, which is not difficult to treat. However, Your Majesty also suffers from dysentery, and both diseases are very severe. Your Majesty is suffering from the evil of the epidemic toxin, which has invaded your intestines and stomach, causing a sudden onset of the disease and forming epidemic dysentery. If you are not careful, Your Majesty is afraid..."
Wu Ge and Linghu Yunlong looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Wu Ge grabbed his hand and said, "You are as good as Hua Tuo, you are a miracle doctor, you must be able to save your majesty."
Linghu Yunlong knelt down with a plop: "Dr. Sai, please, you must cure your majesty's illness." Then he kowtowed again.
Sai Hua Tuo was horrified. He quickly helped him up and lowered his voice, saying, "Keep your voice down! Don't let anyone know. Your Majesty's serious illness must be kept secret."
Linghu Yunlong finally woke up and stood up hurriedly.
Sai Hua Tuo said, "The journey to Bianjing is still long. If something were to happen to His Majesty en route, we must keep the news a secret. If the news were to leak out, it would cause unrest. Even if His Majesty were to pass away, we should return to Bianjing first and discuss matters with Li Gang and others to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne."
Wu Ge's voice began to tremble: "Your Majesty, is your majesty's illness really incurable?"
Sai Hua Tuo whispered, "There is a prescription that is too dangerous. I dare not use it in vain. Moreover, this prescription is missing an ingredient."
Wu Ge opened his eyes wide: "What medicine?"
Sai Huatuo sighed: "Except in Bianjing, this kind of medicine can't be found here."
"I'll get it." Linghu Yunlong turned and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Wu Ge stopped him, "Can you get into the Imperial Hospital? I'll go. I'm going to Bianjing right now, riding a horse 800 miles straight. I can't sleep or rest, and the round trip should take at least ten days."
Sai Hua Tuo said with a sad face: "Ten days. I am afraid that by the time the medicine is brought, His Majesty will have passed away."
"What should we do?" Wu Ge and Linghu Yunlong were so anxious that they almost cried.
Sai Huatuo was so anxious that he paced back and forth, slapping his forehead hard.
Suddenly the three of them discovered that there was someone standing behind them, Nangong Lian'er.
Nangong Lian'er's face was pale, it seemed that she had heard everything that had just been said.
"Nan, Empress Nangong." Linghu Yunlong called out stutteringly.
Nangong Lian'er's eyes were blurred with tears. She stretched out her sleeve to wipe away her tears, and unexpectedly appeared very strong: "I know a person, I wonder if he can cure it."
"Who is it?" Sai Huatuo asked anxiously.
"Crazy Hu." Nangong Lian'er said softly.
Wu Ge was puzzled, but Linghu Yunlong's eyes flickered.
Sai Huatuo was even more delighted and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know the poison doctor Hu Fengzi?"
Nangong Lian'er nodded: "My father severed the tendons in his hands and feet, crippling all his martial arts skills. It is said that he lives in seclusion on Jingliang Mountain upstream of the Songwa River."
"Why?" Linghu Yunlong asked in surprise.
Nangong Lian'er bit her lip and said, "This matter should not be known to outsiders. I will go to Jingliang Mountain and ask him to treat Your Majesty."
Linghu Yunlong was shocked: "No, Marshal Nangong has already crippled Crazy Hu, so why would he be willing to help the Empress heal her?"
Nangong Lian'er resolutely said: "Even if it costs my life, I will save Your Majesty."
Linghu Yunlong hesitated for a moment and said, "I will accompany the Empress. There is no time to lose. Let's set off now."
Nangong Lian'er nodded, mounted her warhorse, and turned to leave. Linghu Yunlong turned back and clasped his fists at Wu Ge: "Take good care of His Majesty!" He hurriedly spurred his horse to catch up.
Wu Ge was somewhat amazed by his reputation. He looked at Sai Hua Tuo and asked, "Who is Crazy Hu?"
Sai Huatuo said quietly, "He is my uncle."
"What?" Wu Ge was even more shocked. This was too unbelievable. His Majesty was ill, and yet Sai Hua Tuo was helpless. And yet there was this crazy Hu nearby. And yet this crazy Hu was Sai Hua Tuo's uncle, and yet this uncle lived nearby. And yet, Empress Nangong knew this crazy Hu. Could it be that His Majesty was truly a divine dragon descended to earth, blessed by the gods?
Sai Huatuo continued, "I thought this uncle was no longer in this world, but I never thought he was still alive."
Wu Ge patted his shoulder and said, "Dr. Sai, can you explain to me what's going on?"
Sai Huatuo had no choice but to explain: "My great-grandmaster was devoted to medicine his entire life and accepted my master and uncle as his disciples. After my great-grandmaster passed away, my master dedicated his life to saving the world and became a famous doctor in the Jiangnan area. But my uncle liked poisons and preferred the method of fighting poison with poison. He also made a name for himself in the Hebei area. But later, for some reason, my uncle's temperament changed drastically, and he began to use poison to harm people. He once poisoned an entire village overnight. When my master heard about this, he rushed from Jiangnan to Hebei, but encountered war on the way and my master died in the Liao army. My uncle's whereabouts were unknown later, and I thought he was dead. I didn't expect him to be still alive in this world."
