Chapter 158 Cold Syndrome (Update 1)
Ye Chutang supported himself on the edge of the bed with his right hand, slowly sat up, glanced at the dark sky outside the window, and sighed.
"You too, it's so late, why bother making this trip?"
Chu Qiyuan looked at her carefully for a few times. Although she looked pale, she was still in good spirits. His heart, which had been hanging in his stomach for a long time, finally settled down.
"The princess was concerned about you and sent someone to ask me to come here. If not for this, I don't know when I would have known about your injury." Chu Qiyuan said, frowning, "How on earth did you get injured so badly?"
Ye Chutang shook his head.
"Here are Doctor Chen and Doctor Sun. You two have already checked my pulse. Why should I bother you again?"
"What do they know?" Chu Qiyuan said with disgust.
Ye Chutang coughed lightly: "The prince and the princess are still outside."
Chu Qiyuan realized that he was too excited and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly lowered his voice.
"I am telling the truth. Their abilities are there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here in such a hurry, right?"
He was the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the most experienced among all the imperial doctors. Even if he was scolded in person, he would still do it.
Ye Chutang took a pillow and found a comfortable position to lean against the head of the bed.
Ever since she met Chu Qiyuan three years ago, he has been like this and no amount of persuasion would change him, so she simply ignored him.
"The two imperial doctors are helping to prepare the medicine." Ye Chutang said.
Chu Qiyuan looked hopeful: "The prescription you gave me?"
Ye Chutang laughed: "I was in a coma at the time, how could I give you the prescription?"
Chu Qiyuan was immediately disappointed: "Oh. In that case, I'm afraid they will delay your injury for a while longer."
Ye Chutang curled his lips: "It's not as serious as you say."
After all, those two were from the Imperial Medical Service. If they didn't have some skills, they wouldn't have been able to stay until today.
“Isn’t this all compared? Normally they can show people they have a headache or fever, but you—” Chu Qiyuan looked disapproving.
"My injury is not serious, I just need to rest for a few more days." Ye Chutang paused, a little helpless, "Also, this is the capital, please don't address me with honorifics anymore, it would be rude if others heard it."
It was really a coincidence that she knew Chu Qiyuan.
At that time, she was traveling south with A Yan, A Feng and Xiao Wu. On the way, they encountered victims suffering from plague. Chu Qiyuan, who was the director of the Imperial Medical Service at the time, obeyed the order and left.
At that time, the plague was rampant. Chu Qiyuan tried many methods, but there was no obvious effect, and the situation became worse and worse.
One day, when he was taking the pulse of a terminally ill disaster victim on the roadside, Ye Chutang took the initiative to step forward and said that there was a way to help him solve his current predicament.
Chu Qiyuan didn't know her at that time. Seeing that she was a teenage girl with a few children younger than her, he didn't take her words seriously. He just told her with a stern face to leave quickly, otherwise they would be infected with the plague and no one could save them.
Of course Ye Chutang didn't leave.
She stayed there for a full half month.
It was also during this half month that Chu Qiyuan began to regard her as a half-master and respected her with utmost respect.
Later, the two occasionally exchanged letters and gradually became familiar with each other.
After Ye Chutang returned to Beijing, Chu Qiyuan wanted to visit him several times but he held back.
I just didn't expect that after waiting so long and finally getting the opportunity, this would be the scene.
Chu Qiyuan nodded: "You are right, then...well, what Miss Ye Er said is right, I know."
Ye Chutang said: "Actually, there is something I want to ask you for help with this time."
Chu Qiyuan immediately said, "You—Miss Ye Er, please speak."
…
Squeak——
The door opened and Chu Qiyuan walked out.
Chen Yanchuan looked back and saw that Princess Qinyang could no longer hold back and rushed over.
"Chuyuanshi, how is Chutang?"
Chu Qiyuan stroked his beard, frowned, and let out a long sigh.
Princess Qinyang was nervous and glanced at Shen Yanchuan anxiously.
No matter how you look at this situation, it seems... not so good?
Chu Qiyuan said quietly, "The injury that Miss Ye Er suffered this time is not light."
Princess Qinyang cried out "Ah".
"How could this happen? When Doctor Chen and Doctor Sun felt her pulse just now, they said it was just a flesh wound, with no internal injuries. As long as she was treated in time and nursed back to health, she would be fine. This..."
"No." Chu Qiyuan interrupted Princess Qinyang, his expression serious, "Miss Ye had suffered from a cold in her early years. This time, she was injured and her blood and vitality were greatly depleted, which triggered her old illness. Naturally, she fell ill and couldn't get up."
Chen Yanchuan frowned slightly.
Princess Qinyang was a little confused: "Cold syndrome? What does that mean?"
Chu Qiyuan looked back at the closed door and sighed heavily.
"I heard that Miss Ye went to Wuzhou with her family a few years ago and then went into exile in the south. Perhaps she contracted the disease at that time."
There was silence for a moment.
The experiences of the four siblings of the Ye family were no secret in the capital.
But no one expected that Ye Chutang had suffered such an injury?
Princess Qinyang murmured, "...It was the coldest time of the year, but...she looked fine before. She didn't look sick, did she?"
Chu Qiyuan asked back: "I heard that she stayed in Jiangling for the next few years?"
Princess Qinyang stopped talking.
Jiangling is a small place, but it is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is warm and suitable.
It turns out... Ye Chutang stayed there to recuperate and didn't return to Beijing for a long time?
Chen Yanchuan asked, "I wonder if the Minister of the Court has any response?"
Chu Qiyuan took out a prescription from his sleeve.
"I have just read the prescriptions of Chen and Sun. They only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. At most, they can provide a warming and nourishing effect. This is another prescription I wrote. I have changed a few herbs. Cook the medicine according to this prescription and change it again after ten days."
Chen Yanchuan took it and glanced over.
The handwriting was rather wild, with some ink not yet completely dry, clearly having been written by Chu Qiyuan.
Just then, Doctor Chen came with some medicine.
When he saw the three people standing there, he was stunned.
"Court Envoy, why are you here?"
Chu Qiyuan saw him and immediately waved.
"You're here just in time. Go, pour out the medicine and boil another dose according to what I wrote."
Doctor Chen: “……???”
Shen Yanchuan folded up the prescription and handed it over.
"There are two medicinal herbs here that are not on the mountain. I will send someone to get them."
…
The temple woodshed.
This place is heavily guarded, and the captured assassin is being held here.
"Meet the prince!"
Seeing the person coming, everyone bowed respectfully.
Lian Zhou, who was guarding the door, stepped forward immediately.
"master."
Chen Yanchuan said: "Send someone down the mountain immediately to get the two herbs, angelica and galangal."
Lian Zhou was stunned, but immediately responded: "Yes!"
Shen Yanchuan looked towards the woodshed.
Lian Zhou said, "The person is inside, and has not yet woken up. Do you want to go in and take a look now?"
Chen Yanchuan nodded.
