After a while, an old man with a gray beard came in and said in a serious tone, "Little kid, how dare you bring medicine into the palace without permission? Show it to me quickly. This is not a place where you can fool around."
The Xiao family is really getting more and more outrageous. They actually found such a young child to treat His Highness. If she can cure His Highness, we old guys can lie in the coffin.
Ying Bao frowned and turned to glare at Xiao Mo: "Uncle Xiao..., since you can't use my medicine, why did you let me come?"
Who among you present is not more skilled in medicine than her? They have probably tried all the prescriptions.
If her medicine wasn't used, why would she let a little kid come and join in the fun
Xiao Mo was a little embarrassed by the question from the little kid, so he said to Yao Yuanzheng: "Yao Yuanzheng, this woman came to see His Highness on the orders of the Holy Saint. The medicine she brought will naturally... be carefully tested. If there is no problem, let Your Highness try it."
Dean Yao looked unhappy and said coldly, "How can you treat us like this?"
Are their medical skills no better than those of a few-year-old kid? Or is the Xiao family desperate and trying every possible means
Forget it, sooner or later they will all be implicated, a moment earlier or later won’t make much difference.
Director Yao waved his hand and a doctor came over.
He pointed at Ying Bao and said, "Take the medicine from her hand and test it to see if it is poisonous."
If it's not poisonous, let her try it. Anyway, it's already like this and we can all just endure it together with King Dai.
The doctor responded, took the porcelain bottle from Yingbao, poured some out onto a plate, and used a silver needle to test whether it was poisonous.
After a while, the doctor reported back: "Master, this thing is non-toxic."
Yao Yuanzheng nodded and motioned for him to return the porcelain bottle to the girl.
Yingbao took the porcelain bottle and was about to feed the sick boy, but his teeth were clenched and he couldn't feed him at all.
"Let me do it."
Xiao Mo came over, took the porcelain bottle from Ying Bao and asked, "Shall we feed them all in?"
Yingbao nodded: "Not a single drop can be left."
Inside the porcelain bottle is a potion made from Wudingzhi, ginseng slices and mountain honey. It is good for nourishing the qi and the body. I wonder if it will be of any use to King Dai.
Xiao Mo was seen sitting on the big bed, holding the skinny boy like a skeleton in his arms, pinching his cheeks with his hands, forcing him to open his mouth, and pouring the sweet medicine directly into his mouth.
The boy was forced to swallow it, but half of it still flowed down the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his neck and chest.
Ying Bao frowned, came close to Xiao Mo and whispered, "Uncle Xiao, this bottle of medicine costs one hundred taels of silver."
Xiao Mo ignored her and poured the remaining bit into King Dai's mouth.
After feeding the medicine and putting the King of Dai down, Xiao Mo came down from the bed, called two palace servants to wipe the King of Dai, and then left the inner hall.
Several imperial doctors who had been watching came out and asked repeatedly, "What did Xiao Langjun feed the King of Dai?"
Xiao Mo turned around and pointed at Ying Bao: "You go ask her." After that, he quickly walked out of the palace.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Yingbao squeezed out of the crowd and ran over: "Take me with you!"
He ran to the door of the main hall, but was stopped by several eunuchs: "No one is allowed to go out without an imperial decree!"
Yingbao watched Xiao Mo walk down the steps, across the yard, and quickly disappear behind the screen wall, stamping her feet in anger.
No matter in the past or present life, Xiao Mo is not a good person. He actually left a little girl like her in a dangerous place and ran away alone. He is such a scoundrel!
He returned to the main hall dejectedly, and saw that all the chairs and benches in the hall were occupied. He had no choice but to drag his medicine box to the corner of the hall and sit on the ground.
He pretended to take out a cantaloupe from the medicine box, pinched a circle of it, hit it with his fist, and the melon cracked open. He then broke off a piece and started to eat it.
There was no way. She was thirsty, hungry, tired, hot, and exhausted both physically and mentally, so she couldn't care about much.
Soon her action attracted everyone's attention.
Yingbao saw several people's Adam's apples rolling, then they turned their heads back, coughed lightly a few times, and pretended not to care.
Only Doctor Li came over, put the medicine box in his hand next to Yingbao, lifted his robe and sat down against the pillar.
Yingbao casually handed him a piece of cantaloupe: "Grandpa Li, this is for you to eat."
Doctor Li didn't hesitate to take the melon and started eating it.
Like Yingbao, he had not had a drop of water since he came out in the morning and was extremely hungry and thirsty. However, the palace servants ignored them and did not even ask about their diet.
Doctor Li didn't know those imperial physicians, and he felt embarrassed to ask them to help him command the palace servants.
Or perhaps it could be said that all these imperial doctors looked down on him and simply disdained to pay any attention to him.
Since he couldn't find Senior Brother Wen, Doctor Li had no choice but to sit on the ground with Yingbao.
Fortunately, the floor is paved with marble, which is very cool and clean.
The two of them finished eating the melon in silence, and Yingbao pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her mouth.
Doctor Li also took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and beard, and asked in a low voice: "Yingbao, what is the chance of the king's death?"
Yingbao: "Fifty percent." Life and death each account for half.
Doctor Li was relieved when he heard this and said, "It's good to have a 50% chance of success. I hope we can leave the palace safely."
After a while, he continued, "I heard from Senior Brother Wen that the King of Dai was in danger this time because he accidentally ate mushrooms."
Ying Bao asked curiously, "What kind of mushrooms? Is it golden ear? Who gave it to him? Could it be Mr. Wen?"
After all, Han Miaoniang sold all of her golden ears to the brothers of Lin, the third wife of the Wen family.
Doctor Li looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and said, "No, my senior brother said that it was a medical officer named Lin who presented it privately."
This person bypassed Wen Jingyan, probably just to show off in front of King Dai, to demonstrate himself, and to take all the credit for saving the Lord.
As a result, he ended up losing more than he gained and ended up in jail.
It doesn't matter if he goes to jail, but it implicates Senior Brother Wen.
After all, the Lin family and the Wen family are in-laws, and it was Wen Jingyan who first cooked porridge with golden ears for King Dai to eat. After eating it for some time, King Dai's condition did improve.
But as the King of Dai became healthier and healthier, many people in the Imperial Hospital believed that Wen Jingyan was deliberately making things mysterious in order to curry favor with the emperor, and described an ordinary golden ear as a miracle drug.
Therefore, everyone disagreed with the golden ears provided by Wen Jingyan.
Yao Yuanzheng even asked people to buy golden ears from other places and fill them in the Imperial Pharmacy.
Yuan Zheng's action made everyone think that he wanted to exclude Wen Jingyan and the golden ears he bought.
Wen Jingyan also saw through it, so he sent a letter asking his fourth daughter-in-law to go home and no longer stay at the Jiang family.
But after eating the golden ear presented by the medical officer named Lin, King Dai suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and became extremely thin in a few days.
The emperor and empress were furious when they heard the news and immediately ordered a thorough investigation to determine what had happened.
It was discovered that the Lin family purchased it from a small mountain village and were purchasing it on behalf of the Wen family.
At that time, the Lin family was greedy and kept two or three kilograms of it and gave it to a relative who worked in the Imperial Hospital, which resulted in this incident.
This time, not only was Mr. Lin sent to jail, but Wen Jingyan was also held accountable.
If King Dai is not well off, the Lin family, the Wen family, and even the villager who sells golden ears will probably not have a good ending.
Even the imperial doctors present at the scene would probably have difficulty protecting themselves.
"Alas, it is such an unexpected disaster." Doctor Li shook his head.
He didn't want to come at first, but he couldn't resist Xiao Mo's soft and hard tactics.
The man surnamed Xiao also said that the King of Dai’s serious illness this time involved a wide range of people, and anyone who had any connection with it would have no chance of escaping.
So Doctor Li had no choice but to follow Ying Bao here.
When he saw King Dai for the first time, he was numb and felt that he might die here.
Therefore, he placed all his hopes on this half-time apprentice.
