That night, Qin Mubai went to bed very early after playing outside all day, because he had to get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts with his father and needed to replenish his mental and physical strength.
Not long after I lay down, the door was suddenly knocked: "Third Young Master, someone from the palace has called you! Get up quickly!"
"What? I'll be right back!" Qin Mubai hurriedly got up to change clothes, wondering why he suddenly called me now, what would happen
After a while, Qin Mubai came to the front hall and saw a eunuch walking around anxiously, like an ant on a hot pot. Qin Mubai recognized him. He was one of the emperor's personal attendants and his surname was Gao.
"Eunuch Gao, why are you so panicked?" Qin Mubai stepped forward and asked.
"Oh, General Qin, come to the palace quickly! Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang is suffering from an emergency and her life is at stake! His Majesty the Emperor has ordered several imperial doctors to give emergency treatment, but the effect is not good! Princess Jinyang wakes up and down. Just when she was saying "Village Chief, Village Chief", His Highness Prince Jin said, she was thinking of you!" Eunuch Gao stamped his feet in anxiety, his mouth trembling a little.
"I'll leave right away!" Qin Mubai pulled away and walked towards the backyard.
"Hey, General Qin! Why are you still going back? The carriages and horses are ready, follow the villain into the palace quickly!"
"I have Huoyun Horse, which is ten times faster than your car!"
Qin Mubai walked quickly to the backyard. After all this trouble, the whole family woke up. Qin Shubao, Liu Shi and Shuang'er all came to the hall to ask about the matter, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Princess Jinyang is only five or six years old. She is the legitimate daughter of the late Empress Changsun. She has always been the apple of Li Shimin's eye. She is really afraid of melting in her mouth and afraid of pinching in the palm of her hand. Moreover, this little princess is also very lovable. She is very smart, sensible, gentle and virtuous at a young age. As long as she meets this little girl, everyone will praise her and feel love in their hearts.
Even if it is a little girl from a commoner family who suddenly suffers from an emergency and is life-threatening at a young age, it will arouse a burst of pity from people who don't know her, let alone a cute little princess from a royal family who lost her mother at an early age
Qin Mubai rode directly on the fire cloud in the backyard and ran out of the door like lightning. The matter was urgent and he didn't care about many common etiquette and did not say goodbye to Qin Shubao and his wife one by one. Just when he was about to go out, he turned back and glanced at Shuang'er meaningfully. Shuang'er nodded lightly with understanding and waved his hand: "Third brother, go quickly!"
Didn't you make an appointment with Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang tomorrow to go to Lichen Residence together? Looks like I have to miss my appointment again.
It was late at night and Chang'an city was sparsely populated. Qin Mubai rushed all the way to the Xuanwu Gate of the palace. At this moment, the palace gate is closed, and the security of these places is quite tight. Even if the prime minister and general come to break into the palace at this time, they will only be rejected without the emperor's order. But when the military academy guarding the city saw that it was Qin Mubai, they hurriedly opened the palace door and let him in without any questioning.
Qin Mubai didn't stop for a moment, and the strict rules of "dismounting from horse and unloading sword" on the dismounting bridge in front of the palace were of no use to him. He galloped directly to Penglai Hall, jumped off the horse and ran into the palace like a gust of wind.
There were already a lot of people gathered outside the palace of the two young highnesses. There were nearly a hundred people including imperial doctors, palace concubines, palace maids and eunuchs, and hundreds of cavalry guards. Everyone was blocked outside the palace and not allowed to enter. Many people were running around anxiously, especially the imperial doctors.
Qin Mubai just appeared, and there was an uproar: "Okay, General Qin is finally here - please come in quickly!"
Qin Mubai didn't have time to greet them one by one. He didn't even see clearly who was present, so he hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.
Just a few steps into the bedroom, I heard a low cry inside. Qin Mubai was very familiar with this voice. It was Li Zhi crying.
Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang was lying quietly on the bed, and an old imperial doctor with a disheveled expression was taking her pulse. His hands were trembling slightly, and there were beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Li Shimin was sitting on the other side of the hospital bed, with a sad and anxious look on his face, gently holding Li Mingda's other hand, staring straight at her face, unwilling to leave for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I am late to attend the meeting. I will be punished by death!" Qin Mubai strode forward and said softly.
"Mu Bai is here? Okay!" Li Shimin suddenly came back to his senses, and finally wiped away some of the sad expression on his face, and said, "Come and see Si Zi, what's wrong with her? So many imperial doctors have no idea. Way. I was still awake just now, and now I’m unconscious... I’m heartbroken!”
"I obey the order!" Qin Mubai accepted with his hand, and Li Shimin stood up consciously, walked to the side, and gave up his position to Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai came over and sat down next to Li Mingda. He held her hand and found that her fingers were slightly purple. Looking at her face again, it was as white as paper, but the auricles were also a little purple.
Although the old imperial doctor who took the pulse kept trying to stay calm, his nervousness and fear were still palpable. Qin Mubai asked softly: "Mr. Royal Physician, how is the condition of Your Highness the Princess?"
"The breath is weak, the muscles and veins are weak, and the pulse is very fast and chaotic. This is a very rare heart disease!" said the old imperial doctor.
"What kind of worries?" Li Shimin said, "She is so young, why is she worried and worried?"
"No, no, your Majesty has misunderstood - this is not the heart of the heart, but the heart of the five internal organs and six internal organs!" the old imperial doctor said hurriedly.
Qin Mubai took a deep breath, carefully checked Li Mingda's symptoms for a while, and nodded: "The old doctor, the doctor, is right... Your Highness, this is indeed a heart attack!"
In fact, Qin Mubai really wanted to tell Li Shimin that she had inherited this congenital heart disease! I remember that when I was in primary school in my previous life, I had a deskmate who also suffered from this disease. He was usually fine, but one day he suddenly suffered an emergency during physical education class and died before being sent to the hospital.
"Then what should we do?" Li Shimin sighed with emotion, closed his eyes tightly and held his hands on his back, sighing, "Her mother has just left for a year, but I can't take good care of her... How will I explain to the queen in the future? I, I... am really heartbroken!"
Qin Mubai and the old imperial doctor were both slightly shocked - Emperor Li Shimin, who had not changed his face despite the collapse of Mount Tai, was like taking a leisurely stroll in the face of any strong wind and waves, but was stimulated by the sudden emergency of the little princess and became like this. In just a short moment, he said "heart-wrenching" twice. It is enough to show how important Jinyang Princess Li Mingda is in his mind!
"Wei Chen can only do his best!" The old imperial doctor hurriedly bowed to the ground.
Qin Mubai sighed slightly in his heart: With Datang's medical level, how could it be possible to cure Li Mingda's congenital heart disease? She is considered to be in a serious condition, and there is basically no other way except surgery!
However, I am not a surgeon, nor do I have this skill!
For a moment, Qin Mubai felt a little sad in his heart. He gritted his teeth tightly, held Li Mingda's hand and called softly: "Beautiful Yangyang, Beautiful Yangyang, can you hear me calling you? I am the village chief. I'm coming back." La!"
"It's useless." Li Shimin's brows furrowed into a big knot. Although he tried his best to maintain his image and demeanor in front of his courtiers, he still couldn't hide his intense sadness and pain. He shook his head and said softly, "I have called her countless times, but she just doesn't wake up..."
Qin Mubai didn't give up, and leaned into Li Mingda's ear and continued to call softly.
Once, twice... more than ten times later.
Qin Mubai suddenly felt a slight sound in his ear, Li Mingda spoke!
"Village Chief... I'm so scared! Hug me, I'm scared!"
Qin Mubai's heart felt like a flash of electricity, making him tremble all over. He turned around sharply and saw that Li Mingda had opened his eyes slightly and was talking to him like a gnat.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The village chief is here, no one can bully you! Come on, village chief, give her a hug!" Qin Mubai carefully stretched his arms behind her neck, brought the pillow, and then slowly picked her up , took him into his arms.
The old imperial doctor and Li Shimin were standing aside, both stunned!
Li Shimin was so surprised that his face was trembling: "Wake up, wake up! My precious Sizi, wake up!"
Qin Mubai held Sizi in his arms, holding her as comfortably as possible and raising her head higher to adjust her breathing. But she was so weak that her two thin arms were hanging down, and her eyes were only open a crack. She said in a daze: "Village Chief, I am so scared. There are monsters trying to catch me, and the gray wolf wants to eat me. I am so scared. …”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The village chief is here. The village chief will help you fight off those bad guys and drive them far away. No one will bully us again!" Qin Mubai whispered in her ear.
Li Zhi on the side couldn't help crying: "Don't be afraid, Sizi, the village chief is back! Wake up quickly, get well, and let's play the game of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf together!"
"Your Highness, please don't cry. Your Highness the Princess needs to be quiet now and cannot accept any more stimulation." Qin Mubai hurriedly turned around and said.
Li Shimin, whose eyes were a little red, took a deep breath, as if he was holding back tears, and hurriedly patted Li Zhi on the shoulder: "Pheasant slave, go out with your father, don't disturb your... village chief here. He will protect Mei. Sheep's."
"Your Majesty, I obey." Li Zhi nodded obediently and was held by Li Shimin's hand. He turned around and walked out reluctantly. He still couldn't help but whispered: "Beautiful Yangyang, you need to get well soon. , you must get better..."
Only Qin Mubai and Li Mingda were left in the room. The old imperial doctor also sat a little further away, holding a lamp and writing prescriptions.
Qin Mubai just sat on the couch and hugged Li Mingda, constantly coaxing her to talk, and using massage techniques to help her activate her essence and blood and unblock her muscles and veins. Baiqi has been trained in various first aid methods, and Qin Mubai also learned a lot in the military academy in his previous life, otherwise it would be impossible to teach them.
After a long time, Li Mingda finally woke up, blinked her eyes hard a few times, her face turned pale, and she suddenly smiled: "Village Chief, it's really you! I just had a dream, and I dreamed that there were many monsters. The big bad wolf and the big bad wolf were trying to eat me, and I was scared to death. Then the village chief came. He was so brave, and he fought them all off at once... I woke up... I had a long dream. Yo!"
Such a smile was like a sacred white lotus blooming in a pool of blood, instantly making Qin Mubai's heart tighten - it was so stunningly beautiful that it made him breathless!
"Well, I'll be fine when I wake up. It's okay." Qin Mubai had never smiled so comfortably and relaxedly as now, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if there was sunshine blooming on the sun. He said softly: "Beautiful Yangyang, the village chief is here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Well, I'm not afraid." Li Mingda closed his eyes happily and contentedly and shrank into Qin Mubai's arms. His thin arms hugged Qin Mubai's neck tightly and put his head on his shoulder. " Hehe" laughed.
This laughter made Qin Mubai's heart ache.
Although Li Mingda had no blood relationship with him, after getting along with him these days, Qin Mubai unconsciously fell in love with this smart, sensible, cute and innocent little girl. From a relationship point of view, the two are just master and servant; but from an emotional point of view, Li Mingda regards Qin Mubai as his protector, while Qin Mubai unknowingly feels that she is his precious daughter. .
Women have maternal qualities, and men also have paternal qualities. Seeing a girl like Li Mingda, anyone is prone to overflowing with paternal instincts, let alone a passionate seed like Qin Mubai.
The imperial doctor wrote the prescription and went out quietly.
Outside the palace, there was still a large group of people waiting. When Li Shimin saw the imperial doctor coming out, he hurriedly asked him, "How is the situation?"
"A miracle! What a miracle!" The old imperial doctor said excitedly with the cold sweat on his forehead: "At that moment, it was really extremely dangerous. The minister was afraid of frightening His Majesty, so he did not dare to tell the truth - if His Majesty the Princess had not survived just now, , but it is really possible that she died young! Fortunately, Her Royal Highness was revived. This emergency came and went quickly. I think it will not be a big problem again. As long as you take good care of yourself and take medication in the future, you will not suffer any more. The strong stimulation will no longer make her lonely and sad, and there will be no serious problem. "
"That's great!" Li Shimin took a long breath and slapped his forehead several times, as if he had escaped from death. The people next to him also let out a long sigh, and their hanging hearts finally calmed down.
"Your Majesty, what the Princess is suffering from is angina pectoris that was brought from her mother's womb. Acupuncture and stone medicine can only cure it temporarily, but cannot remove the root cause." The old imperial doctor said, "In other words, although Your Highness the Princess is fine now, But there is no guarantee that it will happen again in the future. Therefore, Her Highness the Princess must be happy every day in the future. She must not be worried or depressed, she must not be sad or tired, and she must not be greatly stimulated, otherwise... what is her illness? The attack is so unpredictable!”
"Yes, I understand." Li Shimin took a deep breath, his domineering attitude returned again, and he waved his hand, "It's okay, you all, please step aside."
"According to the order." A group of palace concubines, imperial doctors, palace maids and eunuchs, etc., retreated one after another. Only Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and the sergeants of Baiqi were left outside the palace.
"Pheasant slave, let's go in and take a look." Li Shimin led Li Zhi and pushed open the door. He stopped again when he reached the door of the palace.
Qin Mubai hugged Li Mingda and sat on the couch. He put his finger to his lips and made a "silence" gesture to Li Shimin. Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, led Li Zhi out again, and closed the door carefully.
"Pheasant slave, you go to bed with your father tonight. Sizi is asleep, let's not disturb her."
"Well! As the village chief is here, father doesn't have to worry. When Sizi wakes up early tomorrow morning, he will be jumping up and down and smiling again!"
"You kid, you can make your father happy... let's go!" Li Shimin finally looked happy and chuckled.
A big stone in his heart that was almost suffocating suddenly fell to the ground.
