Yingbao felt sad after listening to Doctor Li's account of how King Dai was poisoned.
I don’t know if I can get out and see my mother.
But I am just a child. The queen wouldn't be so cruel as to not let go of an innocent child.
After thinking about it for a while, Yingbao couldn't stand the sleepiness anymore and fell asleep directly on the medicine box.
"Yingbao! Yingbao! Get up!"
Yingbao was pushed awake. When she opened her eyes, she saw Doctor Li and several imperial physicians looking down at her with joy on their faces.
Doctor Li saw Yingbao wake up, so he pulled her up and said, "Do you have any medicine? If you do, take it out quickly. The King of Dai has woken up."
Not only did he wake up, but he also sat up and said he was hungry.
Yingbao rubbed the painful side of her face, blinked and said, "No more, my medicine is very precious, it requires a lot of precious medicinal materials to make it."
Yao Yuanzheng said anxiously: "What medicinal materials do you need? I will have someone send them to you. Oh, or go to the Imperial Pharmacy and you can prepare them there."
Yingbao nodded: "Well, then I will go to the Imperial Pharmacy."
She glanced at Doctor Li who looked expectant and said, "I need two more helpers. Grandpa Li is my master, he has to come with me, and Mr. Wen, I want to ask about the condition of the King of Dai."
Yao Yuanzheng frowned and said, "I will report back first."
This country doctor was a later arrival, so it wouldn't matter if he went with the girl, but Wen Jingyan was a criminal, so he couldn't just let him go.
Moreover, without the imperial order, even he himself could not leave the East Palace.
Yingbao nodded and walked towards the inner hall.
She wanted to find out what the King of Dai's condition was so that she could prescribe the right medicine.
As you enter the inner hall, you can smell a strong fragrance, which is the cloud-head incense commonly used in the imperial palace.
There was also a faint sour smell mixed in with the fragrance, like the smell of someone who had not washed for a long time.
When I came to the big bed, I saw a young girl standing beside the bed, shivering and doing something unknown.
Yingbao looked her over, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The girl was none other than Chen Tiantian. She was wearing a dress like a palace maid and holding a copper basin with warm water in it, as if she was about to help the thin boy wash.
When Chen Tiantian saw Yingbao, her hands suddenly stopped shaking and her frightened expression gradually faded away. "Yingbao, it's you. I, I was just about to clean the face of the King of Dai."
Ying Bao glanced at the boy still lying on the bed and said, "Then you go clean up. Hurry up. I need to check his pulse."
Chen Tiantian subconsciously took a step back and whispered, "Then...you take my pulse first, I'll come back later."
Ying Bao narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly: "No, the King of Dai's face is full of stains. If I don't wipe it clean, I can't see his complexion clearly, which is not conducive to visual diagnosis."
Chen Tiantian held the basin of water and did not respond, as if she did not hear anything.
"Hey! What are you standing there for? Do you dislike King Dai?" Ying Bao asked.
Didn't she realize that Chen Tiantian not only disliked the boy in front of her, but was also very afraid of him.
Because the image of the king in this era is too terrifying.
To Chen Tiantian, a girl in her teens, the King of Dai was like a skeleton lying on the ground. Which girl would dare to clean a skeleton
Chen Tiantian immediately panicked when she heard this, and kept saying, "I didn't! I will help the king wash up right now."
She hurriedly placed the copper basin on the stool, wrung out the cloth, and slowly walked towards King Dai. When she mustered up the courage to wipe the boy's face, she was blocked by the boy's dry arms.
"Get out!" The young king whispered a word, with an unconcealable coldness in his eyes.
Chen Tiantian was so frightened that she shuddered and the towel in her hand fell onto the footstool in front of the bed.
Ying Bao said, "You are useless. You can't even wash the face of the King of Dai properly. Why don't you step away and let others serve you."
Then he waved to the palace servant beside him and said, "Come and clean up for the King of Dai."
The palace maid did not dare to refute. She came over with her head down and asked someone to bring another piece of cloth to carefully wipe the King of Dai.
After cleaning, the palace maid left with the basin, and Chen Tiantian followed.
Yingbao watched the whole process and did not leave even after being glared at countless times by King Dai.
She said confidently: "I am the doctor who treated you. You woke up thanks to the magic medicine I prescribed."
The King of Dai was speechless.
Yingbao sat on a low stool in front of the bed and took his pulse. Ignoring the gleaming eyes behind her, she stuffed a pill into King Dai's mouth.
"This is a pill to nourish your body and replenish your energy. Take one pill every day and it will be safe for you to go hunting in the future."
"Is that so?" King Dai said calmly, "If I cannot go hunting, will you be guilty of deceiving the king?"
Yingbao opened her eyes wide: "How can you blame me if you can't hunt? I'm a doctor, I'm not responsible for teaching you how to hunt."
King Dai turned his head and coughed lightly.
At this time, Yao Yuan came forward and kept looking at the small bag on Ying Bao's body: "Ying Bao, what did you give the King of Dai to eat just now?"
"Qi-boosting and nourishing pills."
Yingbao said before Yuanzheng could speak: "This is very precious. It costs ten taels of silver each."
"Ten taels per pill?" Dean Yao was stunned. "So expensive? What kind of precious medicinal materials were used to make it?"
Yingbao: "I'm sorry I can't tell you, this is my family's secret recipe, passed down from my ancestors, and I won't let anyone else know about it."
Yao Yuanzheng: ······
The young king suddenly said, "I will give you five hundred taels, and you take fifty of them."
"Really?" Ying Bao smiled happily and approached the King of Dai and said, "Then bring the silver now and I'll get the pills for you."
"Okay." King Dai turned to look at the chief secretary standing beside him and said, "Go get the money."
He glanced at the short kid again and said, "Give her fifty taels of gold."
Fifty taels of gold is equivalent to five hundred taels of silver, so that the baby can carry it easily.
The Chief Secretary clasped his fists in agreement, turned around to get the money, and brought back five shining gold ingots.
Yingbao cheered and ran to her medicine box holding the heavy gold ingot.
He took a quick bite and almost broke her teeth.
Upon closer inspection, there were two shallow tooth marks on the gold ingot.
Hey, it’s real gold.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had earned so many gold bars.
Turning sideways to block the inquiring eyes of others, Yingbao took out two large porcelain bottles from the medicine box and put the gold ingots in them. Actually, she put them into the cave.
After locking the medicine box, Yingbao ran back to the inner hall and stuffed the porcelain bottle into the hands of the King of Dai: "Here, fifty Qi-boosting and health-nourishing pills, and we're done. Oh, no, there was also a bottle of first aid potion before, which cost one hundred taels of silver, and you used it."
The King of Dai coughed a few times, motioned the Chief Secretary to fetch it, then closed his eyes and said, "I am tired, you can go out now."
"Yes." Yuanzheng and several imperial physicians retreated.
Yingbao also came out and happily ran to sit next to the medicine box.
At this time, a palace servant came over and said respectfully, "I am ordered to ask Doctor Yingbao to go to the side hall to rest."
Yingbao looked in the direction of Yao Yuanzheng and Doctor Li and asked, "What about my master?"
Palace attendant: "All the doctors will take turns to rest. It's getting late now. Please go first."
Yingbao pointed to the medicine box and said, "This is very heavy. I want to go with Master. He will help me carry the medicine box."
She really didn't dare to go to a side hall alone, especially in the dark night.
I would rather sleep in this hall because there will be someone guarding it all night and the lights will never be turned off.
