Two days later, Zi'an went to Prince Liang's mansion and saw the concubines in the mansion filing out with packages on their backs. Even the concubines were sent away.
But everyone had a happy look on their face, without any sad expression at all.
Zi'an was very surprised and walked in quickly. He saw King Liang sitting in the room, constantly dialing the abacus with his hands, shaking his head and sighing as he did so.
"Why are they all leaving? What happened?" Zi'an asked.
King Liang raised his head, his face full of resentment, "This king has suffered a great loss."
"What's going on?" Zi'an sat down, put the medicine box on the table, and looked at his account book. There were many numbers listed in the account book, all of which were expenses.
"Sent them away." King Liang took a breath as if he had a toothache. "Five thousand taels for the concubine and ten thousand taels for the concubine. They were all sent away."
Zi'an laughed. No wonder they were all so happy. It turned out they all won huge sums of money.
After Zi'an got to know King Liang, he learned that some of these concubines and side concubines were girls from poor families. The concubines who were sold by their fathers and brothers were just beautiful girls from humble families. Some of them died unexpectedly after entering the palace. Anyway, King Liang would not touch them and just gave them silver to send them away, so they were naturally happy.
"Why did you send him away?" Zi'an was a little curious. He was well now and should have been enjoying his belated spring, but he drove the person away at this time.
King Liang closed the account book and looked at her seriously. "Don't ask me questions when you know the answer. You are not treating my epilepsy these days. You are treating my hidden disease, right?"
Seeing that he didn't seem angry, Zian admitted, "Yes."
King Liang admired her medical skills very much, "How did you do it? You just gave her an acupuncture needle, you didn't even check it."
"This is an accident. When I was treating zombie disease before, I gave acupuncture to Su Qing and Wang Yu. Su Qing said that he had some abnormal reactions after I used flying needles."
King Liang was shocked. "That's it?"
He thought it contained profound medical skills, but he didn't expect it was just an accident.
"That's it!" Zi'an smiled. This accidental discovery made her realize that the acupuncture book written by Wen Yi really had miraculous effects and was worth her careful study.
There was a gleam in the eyes of King Liang, "So, can you cure my leg by accident?"
Zi'an looked at him and said seriously, "I'm sure about your legs, as long as you trust me."
King Liang sighed, "What else can I not trust? You have cured my hidden illness."
Zian blinked and said, "Thank you. I thought you would be very angry."
"Angry?" King Liang smiled bitterly. "So-called anger is just a cover-up for my inferiority complex. I have seen too many mediocre doctors and have long given up hope. But you gave me hope, making me feel that I can still live like other people. Being a normal person is my dream."
Zi'an's eyes were filled with tears. She understood King Liang and the pain he was in. She couldn't help but hold his hand and said, "Everything will be fine."
King Liang looked at her hand, held it in his hands, and said with a passionate look, "Do you regret not marrying me now? Do you think I am better than your uncle? It's not too late to regret now."
Zi'an was startled and withdrew his hand abruptly, only to see King Liang bursting into laughter.
"Are you making fun of me?" Zi'an said angrily.
Prince Liang was overjoyed. "You looked so funny just now."
Zi'an looked at him unhappily, "Have you laughed enough? If so, take off your pants so I can check the effectiveness of my treatment."
The laughter stopped abruptly!
It was an examination, but it was an examination of the injury on the leg.
King Liang had injuries on both legs, but the right leg was obviously much more serious. The fracture was not properly treated, causing the bone to grow crooked and unable to support the body normally. Moreover, judging from the situation, there should be compression of the nerves, which means that he has to endure tremendous pain most of the time.
The bone has now grown into a fixed position, so if it needs to be treated again, it will have to be broken and reconnected.
Without anesthesia, this would be so painful that it would kill people.
Zi'an informed King Liang of the basic situation and let him make his own choice.
King Liang didn't even think about it and said directly: "Just heal him."
"Aren't you afraid of pain?"
King Liang looked at her and said, "Is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of pain? However, the pain is temporary, my legs are my own, and I hope to become a normal person."
He said this again.
Zi'an hummed, took out the needle bag from the medicine box, took out the longest needle and sterilized it, "By the way, your hidden illness is cured, why do you want to let them go?"
"Those people were all ordered by my mother. Their purpose was to whitewash the situation. There is no need to whitewash the situation now." Prince Liang said indifferently.
Zi'an nodded, indicating that he understood. The Queen had sent so many people into the palace to prevent outsiders from speculating that Prince Liang was inhumane.
"Many concubines in your mansion died unexpectedly. Do you know who did it?" Zi'an asked.
King Liang nodded, "I know!"
"Prince?"
King Liang was silent for a moment, "At first, I also thought it was the prince, but later I found out it was the queen mother."
"But I heard that your bad reputation was spread by the prince." Zi'an was a little surprised. Why did the queen do this
"My mother's original intention was just to create a false impression, so that outsiders would think that the concubines in the palace were fighting to the death for favor. However, in order to vilify me, the prince used all this to spread rumors that I was violent and cruel. It was me who killed these people. Naturally, my reputation was ruined by him, and my father hated me because of this."
His voice was silent, with an unspeakable sadness, because the emperor used to dote on him.
"Doesn't your father know about your hidden illness?" Zi'an couldn't help but be curious.
"Except for the Emperor's uncle and the Empress Mother, no one else knew about it. The Empress Dowager only found out about it in the past two years."
Zi'an thought of the emperor's illness, which was so mysterious, "Do you know what your father's illness is?"
"I don't know." Prince Liang raised his head. "You can ask the emperor's uncle. Didn't the emperor's uncle go to see the emperor?"
Zi'an never asked again because Murong Jie was unwilling to say.
This was strange. Murong Jie was supposed to have confidence in her medical skills, but why didn't he let her treat the emperor? The empress dowager didn't even mention it.
Everyone seemed to be very secretive about the emperor's illness.
What disease does the emperor have
"Can't you go in to visit your father?" Zi'an couldn't help but ask a few questions.
Prince Liang shook his head, "No, unless the Empress Dowager gives permission, even the Queen Mother cannot go."
Zi'an knew that curiosity would kill the cat, and that treating the emperor was fraught with danger. She had no time to retreat, and she really couldn't rush forward.
She didn't want to get into any more trouble, because she still had a lot of troubles, and there was a noble concubine in the palace waiting to find fault with her.
She turned the topic back to the leg injury, holding the needle in her hand, "I will use the needle on the acupuncture point on your leg. You can see that this needle is relatively thick and hard, different from the flying needles in the past. It will be a little painful when the needle is inserted, just bear with it."
"Will acupuncture be useful now?" asked King Liang.
Zi'an said, "It's just to check if your nerves are damaged and whether the damage is serious. If it's serious, it's more difficult to deal with."
Prince Liang's leg was injured during his growth, and the injury was only caused by exercise, without causing muscle contraction, which made Zi'an very satisfied.
