Seeing that Li Zhi had no objection, Zong Chuke and Jinghui were about to leave when they suddenly heard Li Hong say: "Wait a minute, bring the four of them with you. My aunt said that these four are good at magic." , just take them to treat the people of Lantian."
As soon as Li Hong finished speaking, the four sorcerers immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed, shouting for mercy.
Li Hong was too lazy to pay attention to them and waved to Yang Wu. Yang Wu understood immediately and called several military guards from outside. He dragged four warlocks with weak legs out of the hall.
Each of the four people is more afraid of death. They are naturally aware of the terminal disease of smallpox. Once infected, it is basically a dead end. This is not just a cold or something like that. They can cure it by prescribing a few medicines for themselves. .
No one has anything to say about this matter, especially Princess Qianjin. Didn't you say they know how to treat doctors? You just asked them to go to Lantian to try.
But in fact, everyone knows that if nothing happens to these people, no one will be able to find them in the future. As for where they will go, I am afraid no one will care.
Only then did Li Hong realize why the people around him were looking at him like this. He smiled sheepishly and looked at Wu Mei's angry eyes and said: "My son, my son, I think maybe I can Try it, you can’t tell…”
"no!"
Li Zhi and Wu Mei said in unison, and even Princess Lanling, Princess Xincheng, and Princess Chengyang stood up nervously.
When they heard Li Hong say that he had not arrived at the scene, they were shocked. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty visited the Lantian epidemic area in person, if something happened, no one would be able to take the responsibility.
So before Li Hong finished speaking, he was rejected by Li Zhi and Wu Mei in unison but firmly.
Li Hong sighed helplessly, and first said to Yang Wu: "Zuo Cheng of the Imperial Medical Office is Liu Shenwei, a disciple of the miraculous doctor Sun Simiao, right? Let him come over immediately."
After finishing speaking, Li Hong took Wu Mei's hand and said, "Father and Queen, don't worry. I know it well and I am determined not to be infected with smallpox. But if I don't go and no one from the royal family goes, It will make the people despair, and even take advantage of loopholes for those who are interested. And you have heard that the arrangements made by your ministers are huge. If we cannot build confidence in the people of the world, we will still be the ones who encounter this kind of thing in the future. We are helpless. Do we have to watch the people die alone every time? My father doesn't answer, right? "
"Well, you're right, no! Little bastard, you almost got me involved. This matter is absolutely non-negotiable. If it doesn't work, it won't work." Li Zhi originally heard what he said was quite reasonable, but he unknowingly He ran away following Li Hong's words.
But Wu Mei looked at Li Hong's bright and clear eyes, which seemed to be magical, making her feel an unwavering belief, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart that said, no problem, continue to believe in his magic. .
Seeing that Wu Mei's expression relaxed, before Li Zhi had time to dissuade him, Lanling and others began to dissuade him: "Queen, how about this, let me take Hong'er. What do you want to do, Hong'er? You tell Auntie, and Auntie promises to help you complete it meticulously. "
Wu Mei looked at Lanling with an embarrassed expression, and saw that Xincheng and Chengyang were also eager to give it a try. It was a fact that these three people had always loved Li Hong, but they did not expect that they would love him so much. In order to prevent Li Hong from taking risks, they Be willing to take risks.
Li Hong was also very moved. From the first time he left the palace at the age of four to now, his three aunts have treated him as their own son.
Especially Princess Chengyang, she treated herself better than she treated her own son Xue Shao, who was the first husband of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue in history.
Li Hong looked at the three of them gratefully and shook his head, saying: "It's useless. If any of you go there, it won't make any difference. Especially there are some things that you can't do everything on site. In the past few years, my nephew I have deliberately trained the medical camp in the Western Region. To tell you what my father and mother don't like to hear, their medical skills are no worse than those of the Imperial Medical Office in some aspects."
Whether it is Li Zhi, Wu Mei, or the people from Chengyang, they all know that this is an indisputable fact. It will indeed have no effect if they go there, and it may even have side effects.
But asking Li Hong to take risks on his own, and asking the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty to go to a place where smallpox is terminally ill, is not an order that can be given just by saying it.
Li Zhi had no idea, and Wu Mei also had no idea. The two of them had seen too many miracles from Li Hong over the years, but this terminal illness... it was more cruel and ruthless than war.
On the battlefield, Li Hong and the soldiers protected him, but in this place where smallpox is rampant, smallpox will not be transmitted to you just because you are His Royal Highness.
Seeing the hesitation of several people, Li Hong continued to reassure himself: "Father, Queen Mother, and aunt, don't worry, I'm not going alone. I plan to ask Divine Doctor Sun to come down the mountain and follow me. In this way, Isn’t it life-threatening?”
"This this… ."
Sun Simiao's signature was indeed a good one, and Li Zhi began to waver.
Wu Mei's resolute attitude also relaxed a lot, and the eyebrows of several people in Chengyang also lost some worry.
Since Sun Simiao resigned as an admonishing doctor and declined Li Zhi's proposal for a knighthood, he continued to live in seclusion in Taiyi Mountain, occasionally collecting medicine or traveling to other places.
Now, except for Liu Shenwei, not even Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang know where Sun Simiao is.
Li Hong summoned Liu Shenwei and asked him to go down the mountain to find Sun Simiao and go with him to Lantian County.
In his opinion, whether it was royal affairs, his father or mother, or himself as the prince, in Sun Simiao's heart, they were not as important as the suffering of the people in the world.
Therefore, he believed that if Sun Simiao knew that there was a terminal case of smallpox in Lantian County, he would definitely follow him there without hesitation.
What's more, coupled with his prestige as the Medicine Prince in the hearts of the people, it also plays a great role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Not to mention the common people, just by looking at the expressions of his father, mother, and several aunts, they knew that Sun Simiao was a god-like existence in their hearts when it came to treating illnesses and saving lives.
After a while, Yang Wu led Liu Shenwei to appear in Dafu Hall.
Liu Shenwei saluted Li Zhi and Wu Mei first, followed by Li Hong, and then everyone else.
Li Hong was too embarrassed to stop him from saluting. After all, this was the royal family, and the most basic etiquette still had to be taught.
Liu Shenwei is not tall, chubby, with a big belly. He wears the royal medical office's exclusive navy blue attire. He wears a futou on his head. His face is white and beardless. His eyes are always squinted, perhaps because he has been prescribed medicine all year round. .
When he heard Li Hong ask his master where the immortal trace was now, Liu Shenwei's originally open eyes suddenly turned into squinted eyes, looking at Li Hong with a vigilant light.
Li Hong also looked at him and played charades with him, and said directly: "The smallpox epidemic is raging in Lantian County now. I need Dr. Sun to accompany me to Lantian to appease the people and study together to see if there is a way to cure this terminal disease."
After listening to Li Hong's words, Liu Shenwei shook his head slightly. In the past two years, he had been treating the emperor and the empress in the palace, and he had come into contact with all high-ranking and powerful people. In addition, he had the aura of being Sun Simiao's disciple, which made him He is not as awed by the royal family as other people.
So he shook his head at Li Hong without saying anything. Li Hong had no choice but to wait for him to finish shaking his head before speaking.
"His Royal Highness, I am afraid that you will be disappointed. Although I know the trace of my master, I am afraid that I cannot convey this news to you. My master is used to living like a wild crane. After resigning from your majesty's reward, I have no intention of returning to Chang'an. , so I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me, but I cannot do so." Liu Shenwei's demeanor was indifferent and he looked quite arrogant.
As a disciple of Sun Simiao, he was already quite dissatisfied because he was serving as Zuo Cheng of the Imperial Medical Office instead of being an orderer of the Imperial Medical Office.
Nowadays, a master who is more than a hundred years old is asked to work for the royal family. As a disciple of Divine Doctor Sun, it is naturally impossible for him to agree.
Li Hong looked at Liu Shenwei's arrogant attitude quietly, sighed slightly and asked again: "Then do you have any method on how to cure smallpox? Or does Dr. Sun leave any method on how to cure smallpox?"
"There has never been a terminal illness that the immortal masters were helpless to deal with. I am stupid and inferior to the immortal masters' medical skills. Naturally, there is no good countermeasure." Liu Shenwei's expression remained unchanged, still looking like he was ignoring the matter. .
Although Li Zhi didn't like Liu Shenwei's attitude, fortunately, in the past two years in the palace, he had always found ways to temporarily relieve his headaches and dizziness.
In addition, when he was trying to retain Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun had no choice but to introduce his disciple, so Li Zhi had always treated him with courtesy.
Wu Mei couldn't stand it, but there was nothing she could do about it. Whenever she saw Liu Shenwei, she always thought in her heart, I'm afraid all the disciples of gods are like this.
Li Hong slowly stood up from beside Wu Mei. Wu Mei secretly tugged on the corner of Li Hong's clothes and warned him not to mess around.
Because she had already felt a anger from Li Hong. Although it was hidden, Li Hong who was angry was also very scary.
Coupled with the past four years of training in the military, Wu Mei couldn't help but look at her with a domineering attitude that looked down on the world, and her decisive killing momentum.
Slowly walking up to Liu Shenwei with a leisurely expression, Li Hong stared at those squinted eyes, his tone still indifferent, and said: "As the saying goes: doctors are like parents. Just pass on the situation in Lantian County to Dr. Sun. , I will not force Dr. Sun to come down from the mountain. I think with Dr. Sun’s benevolence in helping the world, he will not let the people of Lantian suffer. "
Facing Li Hong's calm and indifferent expression, Liu Shenwei felt a pressure. His original leisurely and calm expression disappeared. He couldn't stand Li Hong's momentum and took a step back.
