This Imperial Physician Wang's medical skills are not among the best. Zhao Yunwan had already instructed Lu Dacheng that only such imperial physicians should be assigned to treat the Crown Prince or those close to him.
Physician Wang was more than happy to have such an easy job.
Little did he know that taking the prince's pulse this time would uncover a shocking secret. He pondered it repeatedly in his mind, and finally came up with the diagnosis of childhood hysteria, which he wrote on the prescription.
Wang Taiyi had received kindness from Zhao Yunshu in his early years, and seeing her child suffering such torment, he was truly indignant. But what could he, a mere imperial physician, do?
The Imperial Medical Academy is now under Lu Dacheng's control. Although the emperor has three thousand concubines, he has only had three children so far.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Eldest Princess.
Besides Empress Yuan who gave birth to a child, only Empress Zhao Yunwan gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor.
Over the years, none of the emperor's concubines have borne children, all thanks to the Imperial Medical Academy.
However, he was not qualified to touch those dark secrets. He couldn't even see the emperor. If he did, his words carried little weight and might even bring him to his death.
But looking at the Crown Prince before her, she thought of Empress Zhao Yunshu, such a talented person, who ended up with a tragic end.
When the royal family announced the death, they said it was a sudden death. However, Wang Yangchun secretly checked the prescriptions from the Imperial Hospital. The prescriptions recorded the doctor's visit and showed that a large amount of hemostatic drugs were used.
Another prescription contained a potent drug that could cause loss of voice.
These were prescriptions that a conscientious doctor wouldn't prescribe, yet they were used on Empress Zhao Yunshu.
This was also a record that Wang Yangchun found privately after Zhao Yunshu's death, when he became suspicious.
There are also some records of Lu Dacheng personally treating Empress Yuan that were not archived, so he has no way of finding them.
It seems that Zhao Yunwan has now extended her reach to the Crown Prince again, and this time, he cannot stand idly by.
After writing the prescription, I told Xiao Ma to send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, boil it, and feed it to the prince. He slept for a while and then felt better.
Wang Yangchun pondered for a while, then took the prince's pulse again and found that the prince's addiction to opium seemed to have been suppressed, but it was only suppressed and not eradicated.
Opioids have been extinct in the Kingdom of Nanchen for over four hundred years. The doctors in the Kingdom of Nanchen are unable to cure this addiction to opium. He still needs to go back and study it.
The prescription for hysteria was harmless to Aphrodisiac's symptoms, so even if Lu Dacheng saw the prescription, it wouldn't matter. Wang Yangchun's medical skills were only at this level.
After all that commotion, it was past midnight. Xiao Sheng fell into a deep sleep. After a day of fussing, the six-year-old child could no longer hold on and drifted off to sleep with tears in his eyes.
In his dream, Xiao Sheng seemed to see his mother. He chased after her, calling out to her at the top of his lungs, but she neither stopped nor turned around.
The scene shifted, and it was once again the emperor and Zhao Yunwan giving him poisoned wine. Xiao Sheng woke up in fright.
Standing by the bed, Xiao Sheng asked, sobbing, "Little Horse, what time is it?"
"Your Highness, it is midday."
Xiao Sheng's heart skipped a beat; it was time.
The little horse was overjoyed to see the prince return to his usual self. His hysteria was finally cured.
Little Horse brought over the prepared clothes.
"Little Ma, do you think Father Emperor will meet with the officials in the Imperial Study today?" Xiao Sheng knew that Little Ma was well-informed.
"Oh dear, has His Highness the Crown Prince actually become concerned about state affairs? As is customary, the Emperor is summoning the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, the Minister of Rites, and other important court officials today. I reckon the time is almost here." Little Ma glanced at the scene outside the window.
Then, as he walked up to the Crown Prince and was about to help him change his clothes, the scene from last night repeated itself.
The crown prince has started to "go crazy" again.
When he got carried away, Xiao Ma tried to hug Xiao Sheng, but Xiao Sheng's small body slipped under his arm and disappeared in a flash.
Qianmian saw the Crown Prince running out like a madman from the tree on the East Palace wall, so he slipped away first and went to the road that Xiao Sheng had asked him to guard yesterday.
Before the guards and palace servants of the Eastern Palace could understand what was wrong with the Crown Prince, Xiao Sheng had already run out of the Eastern Palace, shouting things that no one could understand along the way.
Xiao Ma didn't stop him. He always felt that the Crown Prince was doing something important, and besides, he had received a note last night, so he had to go to Kunning Palace to cover for the Crown Prince.
Xiao Sheng ran to Kunning Palace, but instead of going to Zhao Yunwan's place, he wandered around the palace. Zhao Yunwan only received the news after Xiao Sheng ran into Kunning Palace.
However, she calmly called Yingyue and whispered a few words to her. Yingyue was ordered to leave and then found several nannies to search all over Kunning Palace.
Then Yingyue walked to a courtyard, gave a signal, and several guards with excellent light-footed skills knelt down in Zhao Yunwan's courtyard.
Zhao Yunwan's expression was very happy. "You lot, find Xiao Sheng quietly in Kunning Palace. Be careful what you do. Once you find him, make it look like he accidentally fell into the water or a well! Do you understand what I mean?" Zhao Yunwan made a throat-slitting gesture.
After receiving the order, the guards dispersed in all directions.
Meanwhile, Xiao Sheng had already arrived at the small garden of Kunning Palace.
There are really a lot of flowers planted in this garden. Is this opium?
Xiao Sheng looked at the blooming flowers and thought, "They're so beautiful!" He had never seen such beautiful flowers before.
Could these beautiful flowers really turn him into a useless prince, unrecognized by the world?
So, Li Xingran, you're here to protect me, right?
It made me realize in advance the consequences of not working hard, and it made me aware of all the conspiracies and schemes surrounding me.
