Xiao Sheng remained seated, continuing to trace characters.
But deep down he was filled with despair! Tears streamed down his face, soaking his shirt.
Without a mother, there was no one to protect him. His father, the emperor, seemed to be only in name. He never received any affection from him.
It's also his own fault for being stupid and failing to recognize people's true character.
Xu Ningyou looked at Xiao Sheng and felt that such a young child had suffered such hardship.
She will protect her from now on, for the sake of her junior sister's spirit in heaven.
Hehe, but don't worry, we have a genius doctor now.
Xiao Sheng's tears stopped instantly. Li Xingran said she wasn't afraid, so he wasn't afraid.
[That Fan Zu'an knows how to cure this poison. Actually, it's not really a poison, just a drug addiction that controls the brain, making people lethargic.]
After listening, Xu Ningyou thought for a while and then asked Li Ruizhang to bring Doctor Fan to the study so that he could examine a patient.
Seeing that Li Ting no longer needed him, Fan Zuan left with Li Ruizhang.
Before long, Fan Zuan came to the study and saw six boys inside.
The extra boy, judging from his appearance, was of extraordinary nobility, but Fan Zuan didn't ask any further questions.
Xu Ningyou didn't point it out, only saying that this was her junior sister's child, who would be studying with her brothers at the Li family home recently.
Xu Ningyou then asked Xiao Sheng if he felt unwell anywhere.
Before Xiao Sheng could answer, Fan Zu'an quickly stepped forward and took Xiao Sheng's pulse.
Everyone watched Fan Zuan's expression intently.
Fan Zuan's expression shifted from shock to anger to gritted teeth.
"This person is extremely vicious, actually poisoning a child who is only a few years old. Although it is not a deadly poison, long-term use will make it impossible to get rid of it for life."
[I knew it. Fan Zu'an could tell from Xiao Sheng's pulse that he had been fed drugs since childhood.]
Xiao Sheng was slightly surprised, and asked himself, "His daily meals are prepared separately by the imperial kitchen, so how did the drugs get into him?"
He has so many shameful qualities!
[If Xiao Sheng hadn't become an addict, indulging in excessive pleasure and enjoying himself, how could Xiao Ding have had the chance to ascend the throne? The Crown Prince is morally flawed, and the Emperor has no other sons; Zhao Yunwan's plan is truly shrewd.] Li Xingran continued.
“Madam Li, the poison isn’t very deep yet; it’s only been administered for about two years. I can cure it, but the person must be kept close at hand. When the withdrawal symptoms kick in, acupuncture with gold needles will be used. Only over a long period of time can it be completely eradicated. What do you think?”
Listening to Fan Zuan's words, he remembered that he had once or twice thrown a tantrum and delayed eating, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
When he was feeling unwell, he would beat and scold the palace servants, and even injured several of them.
Therefore, the palace servants were terrified of him and were unwilling to serve as his close attendants.
Hearing Fan Zuan's words put Xu Ningyou in a difficult position. The Crown Prince had to return to the palace every day, otherwise the Li family would not be able to explain if something happened.
"Let me think!" Xu Ningyou racked her brains, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation so that the Crown Prince could stay in the Li family.
Fan Zu'an had already guessed the Crown Prince's identity.
The imperial edict appointing General Li as the Crown Prince's tutor caused an uproar throughout the land!
Historically, the crown prince would first attend the Imperial Academy and then be assisted by a Grand Tutor. However, this crown prince did not attend the Imperial Academy and instead studied under General Li.
That's really strange.
However, Fan Zu'an did not like to concern himself with the affairs of the imperial court; he was only interested in treating the sick and saving lives.
Sigh, those palace intrigue stories on TV and in novels are really deadly!
Quitting drugs is truly the hardest thing in the world! Those with weak willpower absolutely cannot quit. They quit, then relapse, then quit again, until death. Poor cannon fodder.
After hearing this, Xiao Sheng lowered his head, and no one could see his expression.
What did he do wrong? Why would Zhao Yunwan harm him like this? It's just the position of crown prince! If she wanted it, she could have taken it openly. There's no need to kill someone!
But after experiencing all these setbacks, Xiao Sheng suddenly made up his mind that he would never give up the position of Crown Prince!
Since his father ignores him, indulging in pleasure and turning a blind eye, he cannot let Zhao Yunwan take over the kingdom of Nanchen.
He will live well and learn diligently from the Grand Tutor.
"Madam Li, it's alright if you don't bring her with you, but you need to take her medicine every day, and you absolutely must not eat any more food that has been laced with poison," Fan Zuan said with relief. Fortunately, the purification technology in this era is not advanced, otherwise even with modern medical methods, she wouldn't have been saved.
[La la la, I told you Fan Zuan was amazing! Just wait, there are even more tricks up his sleeve that will leave you speechless!]
Although the atmosphere was heavy, the five brothers of the Li family were successfully distracted by their sister's words.
When my sister said "glasses," did she mean the mirror for the eyes?
Little sister, grow up quickly! Your brothers are curious where you get so many new words.
After listening to Fan Zuan's explanation, a glimmer of light returned to Xiao Sheng's eyes. He had just witnessed Fan Zuan's methods, and he was indeed formidable.
Hearing Li Xingran praising Fan Zu'an again, he regained his previous calm and composed demeanor.
Fan Zuan observed the changes in Xiao Sheng's expression. Indeed, this crown prince was quite composed. Although he was only six years old, one could already vaguely discern the dragon aura emanating from him.
Fan Zuan thought it was so surreal! He was a modern-day PhD in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
I first studied traditional Chinese medicine, and later switched to Western medicine.
When he was studying traditional Chinese medicine, he was a theist and felt that traditional Chinese medicine was profound and extensive, and that some of its treatment methods were truly idealistic.
