In a small cradle made of woven green bamboo pieces, the gray and white tabby cat lay lazily, scanning everyone around him with half-lidded eyes.
The tail wagged and waved, reluctant to move its paws.
"Miao'er...Miao'er...are you feeling better?"
Li Yuan squatted beside the cradle like a child, making all kinds of strange noises and making all kinds of strange expressions, trying to attract the cat to make some movement as much as possible.
The cat didn't appreciate it, and yawned lazily. He turned around and wanted to lick his wounds, but was stopped by a large horn around his neck.
Bai Song changed a new bottle, looked at the dose and rate, and said calmly: "The cat is normal, but it is still in the weak stage. It cannot be fed for the first two days, and can only be supplemented with some nutrient solution for two days. The treatment can be stopped after that, and during the ten-day recovery period, the patient will gradually return to normal.”
Li Yuan listened carefully and looked at the mink in the cradle and sighed: "Thanks to the miracle doctor! The miracle doctor will come over in the next few days, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured."
Bai Song frowned slightly. He had never thought of coming every day, but Li Yuan spoke and couldn't refuse, so he nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The common people will come here after noon every day to have a look, and then go back to the academy to study."
"Studying in college? Are you not a doctor?"
Li Xiangnan smiled and explained: "Grandpa Huang, Bai Song is a scholar, studying at Yongxing College."
"A student of Yu Shinan?"
"Exactly."
"Yu Shinan is great! He taught such a good student."
Li Xiangnan added: "Bai Song was originally going to participate in the Spring Festival of the New Year. Who knows what my father thought? After knowing that Bai Song was a student of Mr. Yu, he wouldn't let Bai Song become an official! And they even said that Bai Song should be made an official. The head of the Taiyuan Hospital! Bai Song’s talent is not just about curing diseases, he can govern a country! Grandpa Huang, can you tell your father..."
This Li Xiangnan would rehabilitate Bai Song whenever he had the chance.
He said in his heart that no matter how much his father didn't like Yu Shinan, he couldn't blame Bai Song. With the emperor's intercession, things should turn around.
But Li Yuan's answer disappointed Li Xiangnan.
Li Yuan shook his head and said calmly: "Grandpa Huang can't interfere in the court. Besides, you have no joke. If some words have been spoken, it means there is no chance of success. This is not just a sentence, it is also related to the royal family's face. When the Queen, There is nothing wrong with being the head of a hospital. The current Taiyuan Hospital is in a mess and needs people like him to rectify it."
"Oh." Li Xiangnan responded, somewhat bitterly.
Li Yuan quickly turned his attention back to the cat. He squatted beside him, watching the cat's sickly appearance. After experiencing the excitement, what was left was sentimentality. He looked at it with tears in his eyes...
Seeing a generation of emperors empathize with little kittens, Bai Song felt strange.
But I can also understand Li Yuan’s feelings.
At this time, the old man on the side also started to cry, pressing the whisk and covering his face with a strange expression.
Li Yuan turned around: "I'm crying for me, why are you crying?"
"This slave is thinking that a good cat will become infertile, and the same cat will become a fallen cat... Oh, this slave can't bear it."
When Li Yuan heard this, he became even more sentimental: "Yes, a good girl is now infertile..."
"For cats, this is a good thing." Bai Song said lightly, "Giving birth is a painful thing, and it is the same for cats. Without the uterus, the existence of many diseases will be reduced, and cats that have undergone sterilization surgery will survive. It will take longer. If this big cat had not undergone this operation, it would have lived for at most two years, but in the future, as long as it is fed properly, it should be able to accompany the Emperor for another seven or eight years."
"You...are you telling the truth?" Li Yuan was greatly surprised.
Bai Song was very sure: "Cats are different from people. Cats have uncontrolled reproduction, which is extremely consuming. The more children you have, the shorter your life span will be. If the Emperor really cares about these little things, he should I know some basic pet knowledge. I saw cats everywhere in the Xingqing Palace, and I guess it was the result of the Emperor letting them mate freely for a long time."
"Yes, yes!" Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Originally, there were only a dozen cats, but when they came to Xingqing Palace, within a few years it became what it is now. Many of them died of illness, and many cats couldn't even bark. In terms of names, only this mink is the most familiar to me. But those cats are all living things and cannot be left alone and kept in the palace like this."
"Your Majesty, if you really want to raise a cat, you should be more responsible."
What Bai Song said was wrong, so Li Xiangnan quickly gave Bai Song a hand. Lowered his voice: "You...what did you say!"
Li Yuan's face straightened, and he heard that Bai Song was blaming him for being irresponsible. He raised his hand to stop Li Xiangnan and told her not to talk too much.
"Then what should we do according to the divine doctor's wishes?"
"The cats here cannot continue to grow unchecked. When the number of cats further increases, social diseases are likely to occur, which may lead to mass deaths. While the population can still be controlled now, all cats should be sterilized as soon as possible."
"Neuter all cats? This... this is too cruel."
"Indulgence is the greatest cruelty to pets. This is so that they can survive better. Animals don't know restraint, and we people know it. The birth of every little life is a responsibility. How many cats can the emperor take care of? Manpower is limited Yes. The Xingqing Palace they leave will inevitably suffer torture from the outside world."
"Indulgence is the greatest cruelty to pets..."
Li Yuan murmured to himself that he had never heard such words before, but these words undoubtedly touched upon the difficulties faced by the cats.
The number of cats in Xingqing Palace has reached its limit. There are more than one to two thousand. If there are more cats, they will die in stages, and many sick cats will die.
Li Yuan didn't understand what was going on before, but now after hearing Bai Song's words, it suddenly made sense.
"Miracle doctor, can you help me take care of these cats properly?"
It is my duty as a senior cat slave.
Seeing these cats, Bai Song rarely found a scene related to his previous life.
These elves have not changed after thousands of years, but the living environment is really bad.
Li Yuan only likes her but doesn't take care of her. Bai Song can't stand it.
There is nothing wrong with simply accepting this huge project and brushing up Li Yuan's favorability.
"With so many cats, it is difficult for one person. I need several assistants. I will teach them how to take care of the cats and how to perform sterilization operations on the cats."
"Me! I'll do it! Leave it to me!" The little Loli jumped out, raising her little hands high.
Li Xiangnan frowned: "Li Zi, you are a princess, how can you do such a thing?"
"Grandpa Huang, just tell me, I like cats, and I want to learn from him! If not, I can ask my maid to learn from him!"
Li Yuan looked at Bai Song and asked what he meant.
Bai Song said: "Just pick a few clever palace maids. I will come over in the next few days."
