After hearing this, King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty glanced at Sun Ming suspiciously, but Zhu Xiuyun could no longer breathe and his face turned pale.
Seeing that he was going to die if there was nothing he could do, he had no choice but to do what Sun Ming said first.
After some efforts, Zhu Xiuyun's breathing became easier and she no longer struggled violently, but her breath was still very weak.
With a gloomy face, Zhu Yujian put him back on the bed and lay down on his back, then pulled the quilt over him.
He stood up and walked to Sun Ming and said coldly: "You just said that you know how to treat the princess?"
"Absolutely true!"
Being escorted by the servants of the palace, Sun Ming could only raise his head and meet Zhu Yujian's eyes.
After a moment, Zhu Yujian waved his hand and said: "Let him go, all of you, go down."
When the servants of the palace heard this, they let go of Sun Ming and exited the room.
Then Zhu Yujian looked at Wang Kang and others and said, "Get out of here too. If today's incident spreads out at all, hum!"
Wang Kang and others did not dare to stay, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left.
After everyone left, Zhu Yujian's eyes fell on Sun Ming again: "How do you plan to save him?"
"I would like to report to your lord, the princess is suffering from a lung disease. Lung qi is stagnated, causing constant coughing and blocking the throat. However, because the princess is sick and weak, she is unable to cough up the phlegm, which accumulates in the throat and blocks the trachea, so I just can’t breathe.”
Sun Ming thought for a while, and then explained to Zhu Yujian as much as possible in the way ancient people spoke.
"What about that?"
"The method just now only temporarily smoothes the phlegm blocking the princess' throat and restores it. However, if the phlegm is not dissolved, it will still be blocked again as long as the princess coughs again."
From the beginning, Sun Ming wanted to help Zhu Xiuyun suck out the phlegm from his throat. If Zhu Yujian hadn't suddenly interrupted, it would have been over by now.
"So you just wanted to save Yun'er's energy?" Zhu Yujian narrowed his eyes, exuding a chill of calmness and self-power.
"yes."
Sun Ming nodded honestly.
"Is there any other way?" Zhu Yujian asked with a cold face.
"Yes, there are many ways to resolve phlegm. The simplest one is to find a thin tube with a central opening, put it into the princess's throat, and then have someone slowly pass some salt water into it." Sun Ming explained.
"It's best to have straw. The straw is soft and won't hurt the princess easily."
"Come here, order someone to look for straw immediately!"
Zhu Yujian didn't waste any time. He stood up and went to the door and gave instructions to the servants outside.
In the dignified palace, it was of course very easy to find a straw. Not long after, the servant came back with a handful of straw.
Then Zhu Yujian ordered a maid to help Zhu Xiuyun cross into the salt water, but the maid had never done such a thing before and didn't know what to do.
Sun Ming immediately stepped forward to provide guidance, and in a short time all the phlegm blocking Zhu Xiuyun's trachea was melted away.
It was only then that Zhu Xiuyun's breathing finally became much smoother and her breath recovered a lot.
When Zhu Yujian saw that Zhu Xiuyun was recovering, he ordered the maid to take good care of him. Then he waved to Sun Ming with a cold face and asked Sun Ming to follow him and leave the room.
After leaving the room and entering the garden of the other courtyard, Zhu Yujian said coldly: "Do you know what crime it is to break into the palace at night and plot against the princess?"
"Villain..."
"The principal offender skinned the skin and stuffed it into grass, ransacked the family and exterminated the clan, and the accomplice beheaded him in public display!"
Speaking coldly, Zhu Yujian turned back and stared at Sun Ming and asked: "It is natural to kill you and confiscate the Sun family. Tell me, why should I let you go?"
"The villain can cure the princess, and the villain did not break into the palace intentionally and offend the princess. He was..." Sun Ming said subconsciously.
"What if it can't be cured?" Zhu Yujian interrupted Sun Ming directly.
"The little one who can't be cured is willing to let the prince handle it."
Sun Ming looked at Zhu Yujian and realized in his heart that the Tang King didn't care about the so-called guilt at all.
The only thing that could make him let him go was whether Zhu Xiuyun's disease could be cured.
Sure enough, after receiving Sun Ming's affirmative answer, Zhu Yujian waved his hand and said: "Okay, then I will temporarily allow you to treat the princess' illness. If you treat well, I will spare your life. If you cannot cure it, Sun No one in the family will be left behind.”
"yes."
When he said this, Zhu Yujian's eyes suddenly looked back and forth on Sun Ming again, and he said abruptly: "Also, I want you to enter the royal family's palace and concentrate on treating the princess."
"Your Majesty..."
"Why, you don't want to?" Zhu Yujian's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Sun Ming was suddenly startled, and then said quickly: "No, it is a villain's blessing to be able to enter the prince's palace as a wife, but there are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an issue. Shun married without telling him, which is also an issue. Please at least treat the villain as a child." Go back and inform your parents in person."
"You are quite filial, go ahead."
Zhu Yujian took one more look at Sun Ming, then called for the servants of the palace, and ordered them to escort Sun Ming home to report his parents' marriage to the palace.
He was given another two days to prepare three letters and six betrothal proposals before coming to the palace to propose marriage.
The moment he stepped out of the gate of the Wangfu Courtyard, Sun Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
But when he turned around, he saw two guards in royal uniforms and swords following behind him, and he couldn't help but feel heavy again.
All the way back to the Sun Mansion in a daze, I saw that the whole house was panicked and solemn. It seemed that something big had just happened. After passing through the front yard and before entering the main entrance hall, Sun Dacai, who was nearly seventy years old, appeared among a group of servants. He hurried out with help.
Seeing him, he opened his mouth and said: "Tomorrow, you are back, just come back, just come back!"
"Father, what happened?"
Sun Ming didn't know what happened at home, so he subconsciously stepped forward and asked.
Sun Dacai's face darkened when he heard this, and he suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, scolding him with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "It's not that you are incompetent, how dare you break into the palace at night without permission, are you going to die?"
"Father, how do you know..."
Before Sun Ming could finish his words, Sun Dacai pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Bad boy, tell me the truth, did you really go to the Wangfu Courtyard? The fact that you can come back means you were not caught on the spot. In this way, regardless of whether it is true or false, , let’s leave Nanyang Mansion first, it just so happens that our family is going to import a batch of high-quality silk and satin from Suzhou, you go with the caravan and come back after the storm has passed.”
Sun Dacai has matured into a mature man. Being able to become the richest man in Nanyang Mansion is not a waste of his reputation.
For such a serious crime as breaking into the palace at night, he would be beheaded if caught.
Regardless of whether the matter was true or false, it was of course important to save his son's life first, so he made arrangements in advance to send him out of Nanyang Mansion.
