Imperial City, Fengtian Gate.
It was already late at night, and the palace, which should have fallen into the silence of the night, was now illuminated by countless torches. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty paced back and forth in front of the door with his hands behind his back. Standing next to her were Empress Ma who looked worried, Li Jinglong's grandfather Youzhu Guo Li Zhen, and others, as well as Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and Zhu Fan who looked depressed. On the side of Fengtian Gate, six guards from the Arch Guards Department in casual clothes were kneeling on the cold ground.
Lao Zhu looked out from Fengtian Gate and saw fire dragons composed of torches in the distance, heading out of the city in an endless stream. Just not many came back. He became increasingly anxious, and suddenly walked up to the guards of the Guards Division and kicked them all over one by one: "Asshole! You can't even protect yourself! What's the use of raising you Guards Division!"
Several guards did not dare to resist, so they knelt down again and declared that they would die. The commander of the Gongwei Division, Mao Xiang, who was directing the search, heard the words and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Chen Wansheng! It was my inability to train my subordinates that made such mistakes... Chen Wansheng!"
"Death to death! Will Lao Wu come back after ten thousand deaths?" Lao Zhu said bitterly.
I wanted to curse a few more times, but out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the light of a torch, rushing in from the outside. The other light spots are all from the inside out, but it is the only one that is particularly conspicuous since it is from the outside to the inside.
"Is there some news?" Queen Ma was also very anxious and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but she walked too fast and almost fell to the ground. Lao Zhu hurriedly asked his wife, and went to meet him, saying loudly: "But there is news about Lao Wu?"
The knight tightened the reins, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Mu have rescued His Highness the King of Wu and returned. I will report first in the end!"
"Okay!" Lao Zhu was overjoyed. "Biao'er and Ying'er are the two more reliable!"
"Where is my grandson?" Li Zhenzhu, who was already very old, stepped forward and asked.
"Little Master Li is not seriously ill, he was just thrown off his leg by a thief," the knight said. "Also, General Mu asked the last general to inform His Majesty to prepare the imperial doctor first."
"The situation with His Highness Fifth Prince...is not good!"
"Isn't it good?" Li Zhen felt relieved, but Lao Zhu felt excited again. "What's wrong with Lao Wu?"
"Your Majesty the Fifth Prince... fell into the water to save His Majesty the Crown Prince..." The knight thought for a while and seemed to find it extremely difficult to explain what happened, so he said a few words concisely.
"Lao Wu...save Biao'er? Falling into the water?" Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then became confused. Isn't it Lao Wu who led the troops to rescue Biao'er?
Why did he become Lao Wu’s rescuer again?
Just as he was about to ask more questions, he saw a long dragon with torches approaching quickly outside, and Mu Ying's voice could be heard from a distance: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without mercy!"
"Back!" Lao Zhu was so happy that he didn't bother to ask more questions, and hurriedly led this large group of people down the steps to greet them.
At first glance, I saw Zhu Biao wrapped in several layers of robes, shivering, and there were still wet spots on his hair. I couldn't help but feel distressed: "Boss? Why do you look like this?"
"Dad...Dad, leave your son alone and call...the imperial doctor!" Zhu Biao said, his voice trembling, as if he was severely cold. Before Lao Zhu could react, Queen Ma beside her cried out sadly: "Su'er? What's wrong with you, Su'er?"
Mu Ying over there has jumped off the horse, and the tightly wrapped man she is holding in her arms, who is it if it's not her fifth child?
Lao Zhu was used to seeing this man pretending to be an adult even though he was a child. He was also used to seeing him look complacent and looking down on everyone in the world after exposing himself as a time traveler, and excitedly pointing out the world. .
However, I have never seen him look so weak!
At this time, Zhu Su's face was as golden as paper, but his lips were already purple, his eyes were tightly closed, and he had no idea what was going on!
The emperor's heart, which should have been as solid as stone, was suddenly pulled hard!
"Lao Wu, what's wrong with you, Lao Wu?" Zhu Di reacted the fastest, rushing to Zhu Su with both hands and feet, and stretched out his hand to shake him awake. My brother, who we were eating meat and chatting with just now, disappeared for a moment. Why did he look like this?
"Get started!" Lao Zhu pushed aside the messy fourth son and took Zhu Su from Mu Ying. "Royal Doctor! Hurry! Xuan Royal Physician!!"
"If the fifth child has three shortcomings and three shortcomings, we want all the imperial doctors to be buried with him!!!!"
…
The chaos in the imperial city continued for a long time. The emperor almost went crazy and the queen was unable to handle affairs. In the end, it was the prince Zhu Biaoqiang who supported his illness and gave orders so that the palace people could continue to perform their duties. At this time, outside the Qianqing Palace, Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the sons of the Zhu family were waiting anxiously outside, waiting for the results of the imperial doctor's rescue. Across a screen, almost all the imperial doctors from Quantai Hospital were here. They were giving Zhu Su acupuncture while discussing the disease in a low voice.
After a while, the elderly Li Yuanzheng from Taiyuan Hospital slowly came out from behind the screen. Lao Zhu quickly stood up: "How is our fifth child?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the fifth prince's blood flow was not smooth, and the heaven and earth were not in harmony. But he fell into the cold water, which made it even more difficult..." The old doctor shook his head, waiting to explain the cause of the disease in detail.
At this time, Lao Zhu couldn't bear to listen to this, and angrily shouted: "There is so much nonsense! Just tell me, when will our Lao Wu wake up?"
"This... Your Majesty, let's see if the Fifth Highness can survive the past few days..." Lao Yuan was hesitating.
"What?" Zhu Xiangdang stood up and slapped the table, pointed at the old man's nose and cursed: "Someone told me that you imperial doctors are only willing to use five methods in the palace!"
"It must be you, the old killer, who refuses to try his best to save my brother! Go back! If my brother can't be saved, show you how sharp my sword is!"
Lao Zhu, who usually scolded Zhu Ping for treating others too harshly, did not stop him at this time. He just said coldly: "The second child is right. If the fifth child has three advantages and two disadvantages."
"I will kill all nine of your clans!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The old hospital was busy bowing to the ground, and even the bunch of old and young imperial doctors behind them also knelt down in large numbers. The old man just felt that Dou E was not so unjustly accused, maybe it wasn't because of the snow falling outside at night. The pale-haired head was knocked to the ground: "Your Majesty, how dare I not try my best? I have already tried my best!"
"It's true, it's true that His Highness is physically weak."
"Although I am a doctor, the doctor...doesn't heal lives!"
After saying that, he kowtowed again and again.
"Chongba, don't make it difficult for the imperial doctors." Empress Ma managed to calm down Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to become furious. "Li Yuanzheng has always made great contributions, and Su'er has always respected him. In public and private matters, they have no reason to hold back on Su'er."
"Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness, is born with a genius, and he can treat the elderly and other imperial doctors with dignity. Occasionally, he has a clever comment, which makes me suddenly enlightened on the path of medicine..." Li Yuanzheng said sadly.
"To be rebellious, the old man has always... always treated His Highness the Fifth Highness as if he was a friend he has never forgotten."
"What happened to the Fifth Highness, I only hate that I can't change my life and death..."
After that, I burst into tears.
Lao Zhu was silent. He knew that his fifth son had always respected the imperial doctors. Before he was in the main hall, he often went to the imperial hospital to hang out with these old doctors. The old doctors also liked this prince who had no airs. When something happened to him, the doctors had no reason to hide it.
But why doesn't Lao Wu wake up?
If it heals the disease but not the life, is it possible that our son is destined to die?
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu, who was supposed to be in his prime, felt dizzy. Empress Ma hurriedly supported him, and when she saw that he had recovered, she said to the doctors in a warm voice: "Please wait, we must revive Su'er..."
"There's no need to kneel anymore. Su'er's body is heavy. If you need to check the medical books, go check them. If you need to cook some medicine, please wait and cook it for Su'er."
"It doesn't matter what precious medicinal materials, as long as they are effective, just bring them up. Even if you search the entire Yingtian Mansion, I will find them for you!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, empress!" The doctors were grateful and went out in three steps.
"Please pay attention to your Majesty... Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, needs to rest at this time." Li Yuanzheng hesitated for a while before leaving, but turned around and gave instructions. "You only need one or two people to accompany you. Don't be too noisy."
"I understand. Thank you very much, Li Yuanzheng." Queen Ma nodded.
Qianqing Palace fell into silence again.
After a while, the family moved to the outer room, leaving Queen Ma alone to take care of Zhu Su in the inner room. Lao Zhu just spoke: "Biao'er, tell us why Lao Wu is like this?"
"You went to save people, so why did you fall into the water? Then why did the communications officer say that Su'er fell into the water just to save you?"
Zhu Benbin stared blankly at Zhu Su behind the screen. At this time, he just turned around. Before he could speak, he started coughing heartbreakingly. It was Mu Ying who supported him: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also suffering from cold."
"It's up to me to explain the cause and effect."
