Chapter 189 Treating the Old Emperor
Doctor Fang said with a smile: "Friend Yujiao is good at surgery, and I am good at internal adjustments. Perhaps if we work together, we can help Your Majesty relieve his worries."
Li Yujiao still had a lot of concerns: "What if I'm just there to cause trouble?"
"I'll take care of it, what are you afraid of? Besides, your Majesty's health is not that bad now, he just needs to be recuperated."
Later, Li Yujiao sought Jing Qishan's opinion again. She was afraid that if she acted rashly, she would cause unnecessary trouble to Jing Qishan.
As a result, Jing Qishan suggested that she go without saying anything: "Just follow Doctor Fang, just treat it as going to the palace for fun and to practice your courage."
Li Yujiao: …
Is this how you train your courage?
But since Jing Qishan supported it, Li Yujiao decided to go into the palace to take a look.
……
The next afternoon, the eunuch came to convey the old emperor's oral order, saying that the two of them could enter the palace. Li Yujiao and Doctor Fang then took a carriage into the palace.
The emperor was busy handling official business at the time, so Li Yujiao and Doctor Fang waited in a side hall for more than an hour before they were summoned in.
After entering, Li Yujiao followed Doctor Fang to pay their respects to the old emperor.
"Please stand up, both of you." said the old emperor.
The old emperor had seen Doctor Fang before, so he smiled and said, "You old thing, you are still traveling around the world at your age, and your body is stronger than mine."
Doctor Fang laughed and said, "How can a commoner compare to Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, and the people of the whole world rely on Your Majesty. Commoners are just floating duckweed, drifting with the wind."
The old emperor looked at Li Yujiao again. He had received a request from Doctor Fang yesterday, saying that Madam Jing would also come.
So he couldn't help but look at Li Yujiao: "Are you Jing Qishan's wife?"
Li Yujiao said: "Your Majesty, I, Li Yujiao, pay my respects to you."
The old emperor said: "I have heard about your deeds in the southwest. You are as good as any man."
"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. That is what I should do." Li Yujiao answered while stealing a glance at the old emperor.
The queen is only in her thirties, while the emperor is over sixty. There should be no feelings between the two, right?
The old emperor asked Li Yujiao again: "Can you practice medicine?"
"Your Majesty, I know a little bit, but I am not as good as the genius doctor."
Doctor Fang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to her modesty. Her medical skills are far superior to mine. She is good at surgery. If there is something growing inside someone's body, she can remove it through surgery."
"Oh? So powerful?" The old emperor couldn't help but look at Li Yujiao.
Li Yujiao said: "I am only good at this, but not at anything else."
The old emperor smiled and said to the divine doctor, "I have been feeling dizzy and weak lately. Can you take a look at me?"
Doctor Fang then went over to take the old emperor's pulse.
When taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Fang looked very serious.
After a quarter of an hour, Divine Doctor Fang said, "Your Majesty, can I discuss this with Madam Jing?"
The old emperor looked at Doctor Fang's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't hide anything from me. If you have anything to say, just say it in this palace."
Doctor Fang took a look at Li Yujiao and said, "She is overworked and has accumulated blood stasis in her body for a long time. She may have a stroke at any time."
Li Yujiao believed in Doctor Fang's diagnosis, but she still asked the old emperor, "Can I take a look?"
The old emperor smiled and said, "Madam Jing, please!"
Li Yujiao also brought in a box today, which contained a stethoscope and blood pressure monitor that she had taken out from the space.
"Madam Jing, what are these?"
Li Yujiao said: "Your Majesty, these are what I read in medical books and had people make them. They can measure the body's condition."
She first took the emperor's blood pressure, and there was no doubt that it was extremely high.
They pricked the emperor's finger with a needle and measured his blood sugar, which was also extremely high.
"Your Majesty must eat a light diet these days. It is best to focus on whole grains and vegetables, and avoid greasy food." Li Yujiao said.
"Is that all?" asked the old emperor.
Li Yujiao smiled and shook her head. "Of course it won't work. I'm afraid Doctor Fang will need to prescribe some medicine to treat it."
Doctor Fang sighed, "It's not that I don't want to prescribe medicine, but Your Majesty is too tired. No amount of conditioning will help, unless Your Majesty can put aside all affairs and rest."
As soon as Doctor Fang finished speaking, the old emperor looked at him warily.
Letting the emperor rest doesn't mean asking him to give up the throne, right?
Doctor Fang knelt down quickly and said, "I said something wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The old emperor then waved his hand and said, "Just prescribe some medicine for me. Whether I can get better or not depends on God's will."
At this moment, Li Yujiao suddenly thought of the Blood Rainbow Fruit in Black Bear Village. She had read about it in Doctor Fang's book. She couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Fang, what if there is a Blood Rainbow Fruit?"
Doctor Fang asked curiously, "How did you know about the Blood Rainbow Fruit?"
"It's recorded in the medical book you gave me. Could it be that Doctor Fang forgot?"
Doctor Fang said, "The Blood Rainbow Fruit grows in the deep mountains of the southwest. It is very rare. I have searched for it several times but have not found it. I think the Blood Rainbow Fruit may have become extinct."
Li Yujiao said quickly, "I have some dried fruits in my house. Do you want to go and see if they are blood rainbow fruits?"
"Really?" Doctor Fang couldn't help but get excited: "Where did you pick it, young friend Yujiao?"
"It's in the deep mountains in the southwest!"
"Then... I will go and take a look. If it is really the Blood Rainbow Fruit, then there is hope for your Majesty's health!"
When the old emperor heard that they had a miraculous medicine, he said to them, "Why don't you go back and take a look first? If it is really a miraculous medicine, you can come back to the palace to report. If it is not a miraculous medicine, then there is no need to come back to the palace."
The old emperor didn't want to be disappointed either.
Doctor Fang and Li Yujiao took their leave first and returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
The old emperor continued to review memorials in the palace.
But he was obviously a little absent-minded.
In fact, the palace physician had diagnosed him several times and told him that he must rest, otherwise he might not survive the year.
But at present, several princes have not established themselves.
He has few sons. The eldest prince is timid, the second prince is too shrewd, and the third prince is young and was born to the queen.
The queen was so young, but she became pregnant with his son when he was sixty years old, which he himself found incredible.
Can a woman get pregnant just by going in for a few seconds?
Then he is too powerful!
His son could not share the court affairs with him, so he had to do it himself until his death.
But he really didn't want to die too early, so he sought out Doctor Fang.
I hope Li Yujiao’s house really has the miraculous medicine she mentioned.
In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, and Doctor Fang and Li Yujiao had not entered the palace yet. The old emperor began to feel disappointed.
Oh, I was too naive.
It seems that even God can't bear to see him sitting on the dragon throne for too long!
