Chapter 7: Old Actor in Palace Drama
Su Yunyao glanced at Huo Kang, who had his eyes closed on the hospital bed, as if thinking about something.
Can't wake up?
Wouldn’t that mean he is in a vegetative state?
"Is there really no cure?" Huo Xiao's eyebrows trembled suddenly.
"This..." Doctor Li looked troubled. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "It's not that there's absolutely no chance of him waking up. It's very likely that he'll wake up suddenly tomorrow morning, or perhaps he'll wake up from some kind of stimulation. General Huo, you should relax..."
Su Yunyao was a little sleepy, so she found a chair and sat down while the imperial physician was treating Huo Kang. Listening to the imperial physician's ambiguous words, she couldn't help but yawn.
What the imperial physician meant was obviously: Dear, don’t be too sad, you must believe in miracles!
The end of science is metaphysics.
The end of medicine must be a miracle!
"But..." Doctor Li paused, then looked up at Huo Xiao, "I've read some history books, and there are records of using spices to wake up people who have been in a coma for many years."
When Huo Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up, and even the drowsy Su Yunyao became alert instantly.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is indeed a profound and extensive science.
She was really surprised. There were records of waking up vegetative patients so early in ancient times?
It seems that too many things have been lost.
Su Yunyao pricked up her ears. If she could write down this prescription and travel back to the modern era, she would become rich in minutes.
This immense wealth is finally hers!
"It's a spice from the Eastern Liao Dynasty. It's warm in nature, spicy in flavor, and aromatic. It can invigorate blood circulation, dredge the meridians, and invigorate the mind. It doesn't discriminate between cold and heat. It can not only help unconscious patients regain consciousness, but also relieve pain from both new and old injuries."
The more Su Yunyao listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
spices?
It has a special smell that can invigorate the mind and relieve pain?
Isn't this musk?
It's that kind of palace fighting drama that can cause people to have miscarriages in minutes.
Su Yunyao was shocked.
The imperial physician described this thing as so miraculous.
Could it be that Daxia doesn’t have this veteran actor in palace fighting dramas?
When Huo Xiao heard that this spice was so magical, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
If this thing is really as magical as Doctor Li said, it must be extraordinary. How could it be obtained so easily?
Huo Xiao swore secretly in his heart.
No matter how precious this spice is, he will try it for his brother even if it means spending all his money.
Huo Xiao restrained his expression and asked, "Excuse me, Doctor Li, where can I find this?"
"This item..." Doctor Li was puzzled. "I'm afraid it's worth a fortune. But three years ago, Dong Liao offered a box as tribute. At that time, the Imperial Concubine Shu had just entered the palace to accompany the emperor, and the emperor gave it to her as a reward. Since then, I have never seen this item again."
Su Yunyao: ...
My royal brother! My royal brother!
You are so cute.
Could it be that he thought this was some good thing and wanted to give it to the imperial concubine as a reward?
This is not a favor at all, it is simply a reward for Concubine Shu to have no descendants!
"Doctor Li, does Concubine Shu have any children?"
Su Yunyao's inexplicable questions left Doctor Li stunned.
Even the look in Huo Xiao's eyes when he looked at her seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction, telling her not to act foolishly at this time.
"In reply to the Princess, the Imperial Concubine Shu is a woman of extraordinary beauty, the most favored of the six imperial concubines. She is healthy and young. Although she has not conceived in all these years, she will definitely bear a dragon heir in the future."
No children?
Su Yunyao became even more certain that the spice that Doctor Li mentioned was musk.
After sending the imperial physician away, Huo Xiao clasped his hands together and knelt in front of Su Yunyao, scaring Su Yunyao so much that she took a step back.
"Thank you, Princess, for your help today."
Su Yunyao:?
No, this...
Why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony?
Su Yunyao, who had just come through time, was still not used to people kneeling down to her at every turn.
Although this is her style as the eldest princess...
Want to thank her?
Su Yunyao's eyes swept across his angular and handsome face, with a cunning curve at the corner of her mouth.
She squatted down so that her eyes were level with his, her eyes smiling, "How do you want to thank me?"
Huo Xiao's eyes dodged, and he obviously didn't dare to look at her, "Princess... How does your humble servant want to thank you?"
Su Yunyao smiled warmly, "I just called a doctor for you, and you're doing me such a great favor. If I say I can help you find the spice that Doctor Li mentioned, how will General Huo thank me?"
"Princess, do you know about that spice?" Huo Xiao's eyes trembled fiercely, and he suddenly woke up from his trance. "Princess, are you willing to help me?"
"I will definitely help, but..."
Su Yunyao's beautiful face revealed a faint smile, "This princess is not doing charity, so I won't help you for nothing."
"Princess, if you can help me find the medicine to save my brother, I will do anything you ask me to do, even if it means losing everything I have." Huo Xiao's eyes were firm.
"Is anything really possible?"
Su Yunyao covered her face and laughed out loud.
"That's not what General Huo said when he refused the marriage proposal in front of my brother. As for losing everything? This princess seems to be in dire need of your money."
Huo Xiao: ...
There is no shortage of nature.
Su Yunyao is the eldest princess. Not to mention the rewards from the emperor that flow into the princess's mansion like water every year.
The gold, silver, jewelry, house deeds, land deeds and various properties left to her by the late emperor and his successors are countless.
The largest golden building in the capital, Jinjing Building, was one of the properties left to her, earning her hundreds of gold coins every day.
The eldest princess is naturally not short of money.
That……
Su Yunyao suddenly inserted her index finger into his collar and hooked it lightly.
The distance between them was shortened in an instant. If he were just a little closer, his nose tip would easily touch her face.
Huo Xiao's gaze became fixed as he looked at Su Yunyao, and the place where her collar was hooked felt slightly hot.
He wanted to step back, but she held him tightly, unable to move.
Huo Xiao's back straightened in an instant.
Su Yunyao's warm breath sprayed on his face, causing his brain to go blank for a moment.
But the next second, she said slowly, "If I help you find that spice, General Huo, will you go to the Tangquan Palace with me to bathe?"
Huo Xiao was instantly as if he had been poured with a bucket of cold water, his face full of shock, "What is the princess talking about?"
Su Yunyao's smile deepened a little, and she moved a little closer to him. "General Huo, you clearly heard it. Why are you still asking questions when you already know the answer?"
Huo Xiao's breath stopped for a moment, "Princess, men and women shouldn't touch each other, how can you bathe in the same spring?"
When he came to his senses, his eyes darkened, even tinged with a hint of anger, "Princess, are you deliberately taking revenge and playing a trick on me because I rejected the emperor's proposal before?"
“Oh~~~”
Su Yunyao spoke in a long and drawn-out tone, then stood up with a bored look on her face.
"Since General Huo thinks this princess is playing a trick on you, then there's no need for me to go to such great lengths to find you."
