Chen Dabing carefully observed the empress's symptoms: ruddy complexion, abnormal body temperature, and cough. According to common sense, this was a cold and fever. If it was just such a minor illness, he could really cure it.
"Your Majesty, please open your mouth and say it after me, ah..."
This is how the doctor at the small clinic treated him when he had a cold and fever, judging his condition based on the color of his tongue coating and tongue root.
"Why are you so sure that His Majesty has been poisoned?" Chen Dabao asked Doctor Shen.
Doctor Shen said, "Your Majesty is definitely poisoned. We doctors all practice a technique called 'Into the Micro'. When we treat people, we can see the root of the disease. The root of your majesty's disease is a poisonous insect with a large head and a small body. The poisonous insect is very powerful and has destroyed your majesty's vitality. I have used countless methods to kill the poisonous insect, but I can't kill it."
Chen Dabing didn't understand at first, but after slowly sorting it out, he began to understand: The "Microscopic" technique is similar to a microscope, and the poisonous insects seen are viruses. Viruses are not living things, so it is not surprising that cultivators cannot kill them.
Then he said, "I know what poison your majesty has contracted. It's the influenza virus."
"Influenza virus?"
Everyone was immediately cheered up, and Prince Yuexi said excitedly: "I knew you were omnipotent. Since you know about the flu virus, you must be able to cure this poison."
Doctor Shen said, "If you can cure His Majesty, I will take you as my master and serve you as a disciple."
Empress Zhao Lingyu said, "Sir, if you can cure me, I will reward you handsomely."
Chen boldly said, "Let me give it a try! If it's really the flu virus, I'm sure I can tell."
The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether a mere flu virus could make a cultivator so desperate. Even someone as powerful as the Empress was on the verge of collapse.
I heard that the Empress's cultivation is close to the ceiling of this world of immortal cultivation, at the late Golden Core stage, and only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage, which is able to break through the void and soar to higher planes.
However, according to the settings of this world, everything coming from Earth is strengthened countless times. If the influenza virus also comes from Earth, then it is normal that it can kill cultivators.
"First, cool down your Majesty's body and wipe it with alcohol."
He took out a bottle of alcohol and handed it to Doctor Shen. Doctor Shen took it but didn't know what to do. He said, "Which part should I wipe? Master."
She even called him Master directly, and it seemed that she had great hopes for Chen Dadan.
Chen Dabao said: "Armpits, heart, belly button, palms and soles of feet."
Doctor Shen quickly took off the empress's clothes and did as she was told. Chen Dabing didn't expect her to move so quickly. He turned around awkwardly, but found that everyone present looked normal.
Even the empress herself was the same, not feeling any inconvenience at all because he was a man.
He slapped his forehead and said secretly: I'm overthinking it. Immortal cultivators don't have any emotions or desires, so naturally there is no such thing as physical contact between men and women.
What's more, he is now a doctor, and the profession of doctor does not distinguish between men and women.
So he turned around and instructed Shen Shen openly: "Wipe here too, and here, and here."
Physical cooling using alcohol wiping is effective, and the empress's body temperature dropped quickly.
"Ding! The body temperature is 36.5 degrees, normal." The thermometer announced again, and this time no one was worried anymore.
"Sir, I feel much better now. You are truly a god." The empress said, and her face looked much more energetic, but her disheveled appearance was impolite.
Of course, Chen Dabing didn't care at all and said, "Well, next, Your Majesty, please take this packet of cold medicine."
Cold medicine is a common item, and Chen Dabing naturally has some in his backpack. Whether he can cure the empress depends on the efficacy of this packet of cold medicine.
Fortunately, the influenza virus had become stronger, and the efficacy of the cold medicine was also enhanced. After the empress took it, there was an immediate significant effect, and she was even able to get out of bed and walk.
"Oh my God! Your Majesty's condition has improved."
Doctor Shen knelt directly at Chen Dadan's feet and said, "Master, please accept my disciple's greeting."
Prince Yuexi said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir, on having a talented disciple. Divine Doctor Shen is your majesty's right-hand man, and his cultivation is also extraordinary."
Doctor Shen said, "From now on, don't call me Doctor Shen. Call me by my real name, Shen Yiyi."
Chen Dabao had gained a cheap apprentice for nothing, and she was also a beautiful female official. He couldn't help but feel happy. He helped Shen Yiyi up and said, "There's no need for this, Doctor Shen. In fact, I'm not a doctor. Apart from treating colds, I don't have any medical skills to teach."
Shen Yiyi said: "Sir, since you are willing to teach me the medical skills for treating colds, you are already my master. Once a teacher, always a father. I will serve you like a father in the future."
Chen Dabao couldn't refuse, so he could only talk about it later.
Empress Zhao Lingyu said, "I feel much better now, but the root of my illness has not been completely cured. I will have to trouble you with your care."
Chen Dabao nodded and said, "It may take a few days to eliminate the root cause of the disease. I will stay in the palace for the next few days."
The Empress said, "That's very good." Turning to Prince Yuexi, she said, "Prince Donglin is plotting a rebellion. Take my Imperial Guards and destroy him. Then the ten cities of Donglin County will belong to Mr. Chen."
Prince Yuexi knelt on one knee and said, "I obey your command." Then he stood up and said to Chen Dadan, "Congratulations, sir. From now on, you will be the Prince of Zhao."
This caught Chen Dabing off guard. He was already a prince? He owned ten cities? So the empress had promised a generous reward. This was the way to thank him. It was truly a grand gesture.
Shen Yiyi also came to congratulate immediately: "Congratulations, Master. Now we need to think of a resounding title for the king. Bold Prince? It sounds a bit awkward."
Chen Dadan said, "This pace seems too fast. I'm not prepared at all."
Empress Zhao Lingyu asked, "Could it be that you, sir, are indifferent to fame and gain and unwilling to become a prince?"
"No, no, no." Chen Dabao said, "Thanks to your majesty's kindness, since you must reward me with the title of Prince, then I will accept it."
Prince Yuexi said, "Sir, don't be too happy too soon. Being a prince is easy, but keeping a county safe is not easy. First, you need to recruit an army to fight for you."
Chen Dadan felt a chill in his heart. Recruiting an army required a large amount of spirit stones. He was already worried about how to feed his family of thirteen mouths. Now he had to raise an army of tens of thousands of people.
Prince Yuexi added, "Don't worry, sir. Although recruiting troops costs a huge amount of spirit stones, the output of ten cities is also not small."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dadan suddenly felt relieved. That's right! The wool comes from the sheep. The output of ten cities must have a surplus to support an army. This is the right of the prince.
I remember that when I saw Princess Yuexi was a rich woman, I wanted to live off her and now I have become a rich man myself.
He urged Prince Yuexi: "Your Highness, why haven't you attacked Prince Donglin yet? Do you need my help?"
