Da Suining

Chapter 206
The emperor rubbed his hands, sat back on the couch and ate a lychee, then took the towel handed over by the little maid to clean his hands.

Lu Yu and his father knelt in front of the emperor.

The emperor suddenly asked: "Didn't he recover from his illness? Why is he so symptomless all of a sudden?"

"This..." Imperial Physician Lu repeatedly weighed in his heart what to say and what not to say, and then he replied cautiously: "Any injured person needs to be recuperated, and in the process of recuperating, the injury will also change and develop. Yes, it may develop in a good direction, or it may worsen. Now that the second prince has this symptom, it means that his symptoms have changed. This requires our imperial physician to increase or decrease the prescription according to his current condition."

It sounds reasonable.

It sounds fine.

But it's like saying nothing.

The imperial physicians are all smooth-tongued, and they will never be full of words.

The emperor listened, basically he didn't listen.

The emperor rubbed his hands again.

It was a cloudy day and it was winter. Although the Heyi Courtyard was spacious and there were several water tanks for planting lotus in summer, the weather still seemed dull.The palace courtyard at the four corners used to have red walls and green tiles in different colors, but now it seems to be covered with a layer of gray cloth.

The incense in the copper stove of Heyiyuan has been burned out, and the ashes are gray. The little maid bowed to open the copper stove, added some spices into it, put the lid on the copper stove again, and the spices in it started to burn slowly. White light smoke came out, and drilled out along the patterns carved on the copper stove, like little snakes winding and stretching.

The golden chiming bell rang "Dangdangdang" several times, and the sound was thick and heavy, which made people's heart shrink.

The emperor didn't ask Imperial Physician Lu again, but asked Lu Yu: "You are the son of Imperial Physician Lu, you are really a good-looking talent, you are more upright than your father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Lu Yu replied.

"Have you read any medical books?"

"He is still a child, but he has been with me for a long time, and he knows the names of some medicinal materials. He has not read a few serious medical books."

"Doctor Lu, let your son speak." The emperor's voice was neither soft nor heavy, and no emotion could be heard.

"Back to the emperor, I have read some medical books, some are serious and some are not."

"Oh? Haha." After being dull for a long time, it was rare for the emperor to hear such an answer, so he sat up straight and stared at Lu Yu: "I just saw your skills, you seem to know some medical skills, so you must have read medical books Yes, and your father is an imperial physician, so you have been afraid of it since you were a child. At such a young age, it is really rare to be so unruffled in times of crisis, and to maintain a pure heart."

It turned out that the emperor praised people so fiercely.

Lu Yu smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"Don't be complacent, answer carefully." Doctor Lu urged him in a low voice.

The emperor glanced at Imperial Physician Lu, and Imperial Physician Lu immediately closed his mouth.

"I just remembered that there was a time when Lan Tui of the Marquis of Changxin was seriously ill. The princess went to the palace many times for his sake, and treated several imperial physicians to no avail. Later, Lan Tui recovered from her illness. The princess When I entered the palace to pay my respects, I specifically said that the son of Imperial Physician Lu is called Lu Yu, and he helped diagnose Lan Fai, and his medical skills are very good, I just happened to meet you today."

"Your Majesty, Cheng'er...he hasn't moved again." Concubine He cried.

"Didn't the imperial doctor say that you will wake up after a while, you have to wait a while."

"But……"

"If you're worried, go and see him again."

Concubine He trembled, although Guo Cheng was his own son, but his mouth was very vicious.

Concubine He dare not go over.

The emperor continued to ask Lu Yu: "Tell me, what happened to the second prince this time? Why did he suddenly bite someone? Is it serious?"

Physician Lu was sweating nervously on his forehead.

The Heyiyuan is warm and comfortable, but the emperor's words hide a mystery.

If Lu Yu didn't answer one sentence correctly, he might lose his head.

Of course, this kid Lu Yu has always been unreliable, talking nonsense with one mouth, Qingcheng is so big, how many enemies he has made, Lu Taiyi can't count.

Now it was the emperor who asked the question.

Lu Yu was not timid: "In my opinion, the second prince's injury is on the head. The injury on the head is the hardest thing to say."

"Oh?"

Concubine He was unwilling: "What is the hardest thing to say about a head injury? What do you imperial doctors do in the palace? With your salary, you can't even heal your head injury? You should be pulled out and cut."

"I'm not an imperial physician." Lu Yu was straightforward: "Since ancient times, not every symptom can be cured. Imperial physicians are human beings, so they naturally have the capabilities of imperial physicians. Not all diseases can be cured."

The emperor sighed: "Concubine He, don't be confused. It's rare that the Lu family child is willing to tell the truth. Let's listen to his thoughts."

"The second prince injured his head. The head is the delicate part of the body. Once he moves, there will be no sequelae. Time will tell. The second prince has symptoms just now. I think there are two possibilities."

"Which two possibilities?"

"One, he pretended."

If it wasn't for the emperor being here, he would need to take into account the image of his beloved concubine. Concubine He really wanted to grab Lu Yu and throw him into the moat.

Is this discussing illness?Is this here to mess things up?
Guo Kai was lying on the bed looking weak and haggard, but this kid actually said that Guo Kai was just pretending?Isn't this spreading hatred to Guo Kai in front of the emperor?

The emperor asked Lu Yu: "One, it's just pretending, and two?"

"Secondly, it may be that the second prince's head was severely injured back then, and the injury was at an important position. The damage to these positions may be irreversible. For example, which part of the brain is different from before, and will suffer from some diseases that did not exist before."

"This... If this is the case, it cannot be cured?"

"Do your best to obey the destiny. There are the best doctors and the best medicine in the palace. If it can't be cured, then that's the only way to go."

"My poor Ge'er, my poor Ge'er." Concubine He threw herself on the emperor's lap and cried very painfully: "If Ge'er ended up like this, it would be because of that daughter of the Xiang family. Chasing after him to find trouble for him, how could he do these things? Even if he did, he would be too inexperienced. He is a prince, so why should it be the Xiang family's turn to point out? Now Cheng is like this , you have to be buried with the Xiang family's daughter."

The emperor sighed: "Isn't Qiao'er alive and well? Why are you looking for someone to be buried with you?"

"But……"

"Didn't Jie'er do those things by himself? Could it be that the girl from Xiang's family pointed a knife at his neck?"

Concubine He was speechless.

"Cao'er committed these things, if the monarch and ministers criticize him, he can be killed." The emperor said sternly: "Besides, he is seriously injured, so let's suppress it for now, and I won't look for him right now. I’m going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first, if there’s anything else, I’ll talk about it later, he’s in the Hall of Heyi, so please take care of me, if there’s anything wrong, then send someone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to tell me.”

After the emperor left, Imperial Physician Lu heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly resigned to Concubine He, only saying that the imperial hospital still had something to do.

Unexpectedly, Concubine He calmly stopped the two of them, especially Lu Yu. Concubine He took special care of him, looked at him a few times, and asked him, "Are you that incompetent son of Imperial Physician Lu?"

This is so direct.

Although most of the people in Qingcheng knew that Lu Yu was idle all day long and rarely had anything serious to do, but there were not many people who directly attacked him in front of him.

Without waiting for Lu Yu to reply, Concubine He said again: "Are you a descendant? You are so unruly, are you born of a concubine?"

Imperial Physician Lu hurriedly took a step forward: "Ms. Concubine He is joking. In my whole life, I have only married one wife, Yu'er and his wife. I have never taken any concubines."

"It turned out to be the son of the Lu family. Why did you come to the palace? You only picked the emperor to speak ill of us when he was here. Which palace lady sent you here?"

"No lady sent me here, I came here by myself."

"Yu'er, don't be rude." Imperial physician Lu was sweating in shock, it's not easy to take care of a son who doesn't follow the routine.

Concubine He was a little angry when she saw that Lu Yu seemed a little rebellious.

Of course, when she was a maidservant, she was always low-key, and she was used to serving her master. Later, when she became a master herself, she naturally hoped that all her subordinates would bow down. This Lu Yu looks like a stubble.

"Since you say you know some medical skills, and the emperor praises you so much, I wonder if you are worthy of the name?" Concubine He leaned on the couch with her head on her hands and frowned; "I will leave my ears to you. Show me the injury, and make sure my ears won't leave any scars in the future."

"There are a lot of imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. I'm just an unnamed one. It's not good for the concubine to see her wounds."

"What if you insist on seeing it?"

"The concubine concubine left a scar on her ear, and I can't be blamed."

Concubine He loves beauty and has no culture, so she naturally hopes to use her beauty to serve the king. When Lu Yu said this, she could only say: "If you want to leave scars on my ears, I will stick you to death."

"My scar won't heal if I'm killed by the stick." Lu Yu really gave her the top: "To tell you the truth, even if the imperial doctor prescribes the medicine, the ears of the concubine will no longer be the same as before. It is also true that all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital were killed with sticks."

Holding back her anger, Concubine He picked up a lychee and squeezed it in the palm of her hand. The lychee's snow-white flesh jumped out of the shell and went straight to the door.

The bouncing lychee meat opened Concubine He's mind, she leaned there, covered her body with a piece of white fox fur, yawned and said, "Recently, I don't sleep well at night and doze off during the day, why don't you Give me some medicine, if I take it well, I will reward myself, if I don’t take it well..."

She didn't look for so many imperial physicians, but instead looked for Lu Yu. This was digging a hole for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu knew very well that it was easy to see that Concubine He was talking about a serious illness, but let's not say whether she had this illness. Even if she did have this illness, Lu Yu prescribed the medicine, she just said it was useless, and she just wanted to trouble Lu Yu , At that time, she will not be at the mercy of her.

Still less interaction with her.

"The second prince moved, the second prince moved." Lu Yu stared at the back of the curtain and shouted.

Concubine He lifted off the white fox fur on her body and stood up.

"Empress Hefei, the empress does not sleep well at night and falls asleep during the day. This symptom is very easy to see. According to me, the prescription prescribed for the empress should contain ginseng and licorice..."

"Don't talk too much."

"Your Majesty, do you have ginseng in your palace? The best ginseng can invigorate Qi if you eat it, Your Majesty..."

"Go, go, go, you go, don't disturb my son." Concubine He waved her hand at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu hurriedly picked up the medicine box, dragged his father away without looking back.

The two of them were almost jogging, and when they left the gate of the Heyiyuan, the little eunuch of the Heyiyuan was almost blown over by the gust of wind.

As soon as the door of Heyi Courtyard was closed, tranquility was restored.

Concubine He walked into the curtain and saw Guo Cheng lying quietly on the bed without moving, so she asked the maid serving beside her: "Did the Second Prince move just now?"

"Slave... Slave... Slave didn't look at it."

"You didn't look at it. Standing so far away, it would be strange if you could look at it. Why don't you stay closer to serve the second prince, for fear that he will bite you?" Concubine He reprimanded the maid.

Of course the palace ladies are afraid of being bitten by Guo Kai, you know, he is someone who would even bite his own mother.

The palace maid came to Guo Kai's bed step by step, knelt down and tucked the quilt for Guo Kai.

As soon as he tucked in the quilt, Guo Cheng sat up straight.

The maid was so frightened that she sat on the ground and looked at Concubine He helplessly.

"My baby is awake." Concubine He was pleasantly surprised, and walked towards Guo Kai. When she thought of how Guo Kai bit her ear, Concubine He felt lingering fear, and retreated, standing still two or three times away from Guo Kai. Zhang's place and said: "Cao'er, are you awake? Ciao'er, how do you feel?"

"Mother." Guo Kai lifted the quilt, stepped on his shoes, and walked towards Concubine He.

Concubine He was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged the curtain and said, "Qi'er, I have something to discuss, you'd better lie down on the bed and talk..."

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Mother knows you're fine, but mother has something to do." Concubine He pointed to her ear: "You child, you are too harsh on your mouth."

Guo Kai knelt down directly, and slapped himself twice.

These two slaps stunned Concubine He: "What are you doing? It seems that you are really sick."

"Mom, I'm not sick. I just pretended to bite you just now."

"What did you say?"

"Mother also knows that I have done so many bad things in the past and let my father know. Those ministers probably gave my father some instructions to deal with me. If my illness is cured by this time, my father will put me under confinement." Possibly. So I have to pretend to be sick, so that the emperor will not be able to punish me."

Concubine He listened silently, sighing to herself that such a rough son had such a delicate mind, and feeling sad at the same time: "It's fine if you pretend to be sick, why bite mother's ear, do you know how much mother hurts? If not That Lu Yu knocked you out, are you going to eat your mother's ears?"

"Mother, if I don't pretend to be decent, how can I fool my father?"

"Then you can't attack my mother. You bit my mother's ear, and my mother won't even be able to wear an earring in her ear in the future. What should I do?"

"Mother, the ear is a little damaged, but you can save your son, don't you think it's not worth it?"

Concubine He weighed it in her heart for a while, but in the end she was helpless.

The ear has been bitten, and An can't go back no matter what.

His own son cannot be strangled to death.My future glory and wealth will depend on him.

Alas, if you are bitten, you will be bitten, at least your son will be fine.

Concubine He secretly sighed in her heart that Lu Yu was really clever.

He first pointed out that Guo Kai's illness may have been faked. It is a talent to have such insights and have the courage to speak out at such a young age.
