Tao Yaoyao has been kneeling outside the royal study for almost two hours, and His Majesty has no intention of summoning her yet.
If His Majesty's move was due to official duties, then Beauty Wang just came in with a food box.
"Eunuch Liu, King Dingbei's old illness has relapsed, and I'm afraid the odds are stacked against him. Are you sure you want to continue to stop me?"
At this time, Xie Lan's face was paler than before. He was such a cold and distant person, and he was lying on Chang Geng's back, as quiet as if he was asleep.
But his brows were furrowed tightly, and he seemed to be in great pain even when he was unconscious, and all of his injuries were caused by eight years in the border area.
There are a total of twelve princes in the palace. No matter how old these people are or who their biological mothers are, they all grew up in a wealthy family. Until now, the heaviest punishment they have received is just the ruler of their husband. Parental scolding.
Xie Lan is the queen's only legitimate son. In terms of status, he is the most noble among these princes. However, he went to the border early and stayed there for eight years, during which he experienced life and death several times.
People in Kyoto only saw that he was crowned king and received rewards, but they could not see everything he had experienced over the years, let alone his injuries...
"Bring me the knife."
Chang Geng handed the red-hot dagger to Tao Yaoyao and watched as she placed the hot dagger on his master's rotting wound. Soon the smell of burning filled the whole room.
"sewing."
"Girl, my master is the prince..."
Chang Geng reminded her how human flesh could be sewn with needle and thread.
"Do you have a better way?" The wound on Xie Lan's back was deep and long, and it was the second time it opened after the wound healed. It is difficult to recover from such a wound. If it is not sutured, even if she The carrion was removed for him, what about next time?
She could help him remove it one more time, but could his body still bear it?
What's more, he still has lingering poison in his body...
"Chang Geng, you have also seen that my current situation is not good. If your young master wakes up, I may be able to save my life, but if something happens to him, I am afraid that I will be buried with him. So you Don’t worry, right now I’m the one who hopes he will be well the most.”
As Tao Yaoyao spoke, her hands were not idle. After she disinfected the wound with high-strength liquor, Chang Geng also brought some needles and thread.
"Then that's a problem, girl."
Chang Geng was still worried that Tao Yaoyao could not cure Xie Lan, but now that there was no better way, he could only let her make the decision.
"What, why don't you wait for the imperial doctor?"
When Chang Geng heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "My master's injury was bandaged by the Taiyuan Hospital."
What?
Did Taiyuan Hospital almost kill Xie Lan?
It seems that he has many enemies.
"Since you know that Kyoto City is full of dangers, why did you come back?" Tao Yaoyao quickly threaded the needle and began to suture the wound. In order to divert Chang Geng's attention, she chatted with him while stitching.
But when it came to Xie Lan, Chang Geng was very cautious. Tao Yaoyao asked ten questions, but he might not answer even one. After a few times, Tao Yaoyao stitched up the wound.
"What, Tao Yaoyao is no longer at the door of the imperial study?"
In Chuxiu Palace, when Concubine Xian learned about this, she stood up angrily and said, "How could your Majesty let her go so easily?"
What did she just say in the imperial study? Even if the princess committed an offense today, His Majesty would not easily spare her, let alone Tao Yaoyao, who is just the daughter of a minister.
What happened?
"It is said that King Dingbei fell into a coma. Miss Tao knew a little about medicine, so she went to help."
Tao Yaoyao knows medical skills, why doesn't she know?
Concubine Xian frowned.
"Your Majesty, I have also heard about this. It is said that Miss Tao saved the third son of Ruyang Marquis in Prince Zhou's Mansion today. Many people saw it at that time."
Impossible. Tao Yaoyao is an inconspicuous woman. How could she have medical skills and save the third son of the Ruyang Hou Mansion?
"Mother and concubine, this is true. My son was right in front of me at that time."
Concubine Xian might be suspicious of other people's words, but she would have to think twice about the third prince's words.
If Tao Yaoyao really saved the life of the third son of Ruyang Hou Mansion, then...
"How dare you, the people I called here, I haven't given up yet, who let you make the decision privately?"
After Wang Meiren left, His Majesty finally remembered Tao Yaoyao and asked the palace servants to go out to call for someone. However, he was told that Tao Yaoyao had left half an hour ago. His Majesty was furious on the spot.
"Where's Tao Shi'an?"
"Master Tao is still waiting outside."
His Majesty was not relieved at all when he heard the words, but the coldness on his face became even heavier, "Go and find me Tao Yaoyao. She actually resisted the order and was disrespectful. I must punish her well this time."
Eunuch Liu went out to look for someone with a panic expression. At this time, Tao Yaoyao had just treated Xie Lan's wound, "Find someone to grab the medicine. After boiling it, give it to your master."
Although Xie Lan hadn't woken up yet, his expression was obviously much better than before. When Chang Geng saw this, his anxious and uneasy expression finally faded away.
"Thank you very much, Miss Tao. When my master is well, I will kneel down and thank you."
When Tao Yaoyao was stretching to relax, she accidentally saw Eunuch Liu. Looking from a distance, she could see his anxiety and hurry. She thought of something and subconsciously touched her knee.
"Your master's life has finally been saved. I don't know if I can leave here alive today."
When Chang Geng was puzzled, Eunuch Liu walked in.
"Girl, your Majesty has summoned you."
This time, Eunuch Liu looked unusually calm and his words were a little more polite than before, but Tao Yaoyao still noticed something was wrong from his expression.
On the way to the Imperial Study Room, Tao Yaoyao wanted to test His Majesty's attitude several times, but Eunuch Liu always pretended to be stupid and tried to fool him. Tao Yaoyao saw that he was covering his nose with a handkerchief, and then listened carefully to his breathing, which was obviously unusual. The human ones weigh a lot.
"Eunuch Liu must have had rhinitis for a few years. Why didn't he see a doctor?"
Eunuch Liu was surprised that she could actually see his symptoms. He originally thought that she just made an excuse to leave the imperial study, but he did not expect that she really knew how to heal.
It's strange, why hasn't he heard that the Tao girl has medical skills before?
"It's an old problem, it doesn't matter."
"Eunuch Liu, you can't say that. No matter what kind of illness it is, it gets bigger and bigger. If you don't pay attention to it now, you won't have time to regret it when the condition gets worse."
Tao Yaoyao stared at his face for a few times and then continued, "Your face is obviously yellower than others..."
"Girl, you are mistaken. The Zajia's face is so pale. I'm afraid there is no one in the whole palace who has a whiter face than the Zajia."
"Eunuch Liu doesn't believe in my medical skills?" Tao Yaoyao continued with a smile, "It's okay if Eunuch Liu doesn't believe it, but doctors are benevolent. Now that I have met him, I must remind my father-in-law that the most taboo thing about rhinitis is to keep touching it. Touch your nose, if you continue like this, your symptoms will soon get worse."
Although Eunuch Liu did not admit it with his mouth, he believed Tao Yaoyao's words in his heart.
Because he obviously felt shortness of breath and difficulty breathing when sleeping at night these past few days.
But it was extremely difficult for the servants in the palace to find a doctor, not to mention that his symptoms were difficult to treat...
"Eunuch Liu, please go in later. Marquis Ruyang is here and is talking to His Majesty right now."
When the palace servants saw Eunuch Liu coming, they stepped forward to remind him.
Tao Yaoyao was secretly surprised when she saw Tao Shi'an still kneeling here.
After Tao Shi'an noticed her gaze, he raised his head and glared at her fiercely.
"You still know how to come back? Tao Yaoyao, if the Tao family is destroyed because of you, you will be the sinner of the Tao family. Even if you die in the future, the ancestors of the Tao family will not let you go."
Tao Shi'an was obviously the biological father of the original owner, but now he was cursing him with the most vicious words.
Tao Yaoyao looked at him as if he were a stranger, "If an ungrateful person like you can live in hell with peace of mind, why can't I?
Besides, today's incident was ultimately caused by Tao Yanyan's mother and daughter. What does it have to do with me? I didn't find anyone to complain to, but you convicted me first. Is this how Mr. Tao handles official business? "
Just when mother and daughter were about to quarrel, there was finally movement in the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, please invite the Tao family and my daughter to see you."
Hearing this, Tao Yaoyao was about to step in when she saw a figure walking in front of him. When she looked up, Tao Shi'an had already limped to the door of the imperial study.
Did he really kneel for more than two hours?
How come she knelt for more than an hour and her legs were almost useless, but he knelt for an extra hour and could still walk so steadily?
The sword is not old yet.
"Girl, let's go in quickly. Your Majesty doesn't like people who procrastinate." Eunuch Liu reminded Tao Yaoyao.
When Tao Yaoyao followed Eunuch Liu in, Tao Shi'an was already kneeling in the main hall and began to scold her loudly. His anxious and exaggerated tone seemed to be about the most vicious person in the world.
Tao Yaoyao stood aside and listened quietly. She was as calm as if Tao Shian was not talking about her.
Marquis Ruyang couldn't listen anymore and interrupted him, "Master Tao, Miss Tao is your biological daughter. How could you have such a father in this world.
My daughter has been bullied, and instead of thinking about how to help her seek justice, she actually helps others criticize her. Those who don’t know better think you are the stepfather. "
"Marquis Ruyang, this is our family's family matter, what does it have to do with you. She is just helping the third son of your family, and you favor her indiscriminately. I tell you, you are the one who is right and wrong. Divide people.”
Tao Shi'an has been holding back his anger for a long time. Anyone who doesn't let him speak ill of Tao Yaoyao now is his enemy.
After he ignored Ruyang Hou, he continued to scold Tao Yaoyao with his majesty. This time, Ruyang Hou did not stop Tao Shian, but waited until he said he was tired before turning to look at Tao Yaoyao. tender.
"Miss Tao, do you agree with what Master Tao said?"
"If you want to accuse me, how can you defend yourself?" Tao Yaoyao smiled aggrievedly, "Who would believe me if I said I had never done this? It's like today's disaster. It was obvious that I was the victim, but in the end I became that person. If you want to blame someone who has committed an unforgivable crime, I can only blame me for my miserable life. I lost my mother at such a young age and did not have a father to love me."
