Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 30 Chang'an Prosperity Little Doctor Meng Shen

With the addition of the Dragon Guards, many unfamiliar faces appeared in the areas surrounding the East Palace.

Among them, there were vendors hawking their wares, Taoists setting up stalls to tell fortunes, and actors performing acrobatics...

There are countless people from all walks of life, almost everywhere.

"Your Highness, I see you are walking a little unsteadily."

Cheng Chumo walked over to the martial arts field of the Archery Hall and looked at Li Chengqian's somewhat frivolous steps with a strange expression.

"Fourth Brother, you are itching to laugh at His Highness. His Highness is not a martial artist, but he is not as steady as you."

Li Dejian kicked Chen Chumo on the back, making him roll far away.

"Is this a question of whether to practice martial arts or not? Can't you see His Highness's illness?" Cheng Chumo said with a chuckle, revealing an expression that said you all understand.

"You are the one who is sick. Your Highness, don't bother with this kid." Li Zhen also said at this time, actually trying to excuse Cheng Chumo.

After all, Li Chengqian is the crown prince.

"I just want to speak my mind. I'm not like you guys who hide and seek. Your Highness, your illness is not difficult to cure. I know a great doctor in the East City who specializes in treating symptoms of light-footedness in the morning."

Cheng Chumo became more and more excited as he spoke.

Li Chengqian's face was getting darker and darker. Couldn't they discuss this matter in private? Why did they have to say it in public?

If you have good farmland, isn't it just a matter of plowing it a few more times?
You energetic people certainly have no fields to cultivate.

If there was anything to blame, it was because the original owner did not take good care of his body, which made Li Chengqian unable to do his best.

"Your Highness, please don't be embarrassed. Li Zhen begged me before. Who in our circle hasn't had this disease before?"

Cheng Chumo spoke indifferently.

"Chinese medicine?" Li Chengqian asked for some unknown reason.

"It's Chinese medicine. What else could it be? Your Highness wouldn't..."

Cheng Chumo nodded, suddenly realizing.

"This medicine is good. It guarantees that Your Highness will be able to have fun every night and still be full of energy." Cheng Chumo said proudly.

"It does have some effects. If Your Highness suffers from that disease, it might be helpful." Li Zhen said very tactfully.

"I have nothing to do these few days and have not left the palace yet. It is time to go out and understand the people's sentiments."

Li Chengqian said slowly that it had been a while since he traveled here and had been locked in the palace. He had not yet experienced the life in the Tang Dynasty firsthand.

The four men in plain clothes walked out of the East Palace, out of the Xuande Gate, walked a distance to the right, and arrived at the Xing'an Gate.

This is the first barrier separating the imperial city from the residential area. A street runs straight through it, with many people busy. This is the first street in East City.

Chang'an had 14 streets running parallel from north to south, and 11 streets running parallel from east to west. These streets crisscrossed and divided Chang'an into 108 wards.

Compared with the west, the east is more prosperous, and it is inhabited by royal relatives, dignitaries and high-ranking officials.

"This is the finest cloth, dear guests, please take a look. One piece costs only 1000 coins." A shout was heard, pulling customers into the store.

"It's too expensive, we can't afford it!"

"This East Market is too prosperous. A piece of cloth costs 1000 coins. If I were to buy food, how much would I get?"

Two teenagers, about fifteen or sixteen years old, hurried out of the store, one of them was counting on his fingers.

"Eighteen cents for a dou of rice, doesn't that mean I can get more than fifty dou? Will that last me two years?" The two young men ran away as if they were frightened.

In the Tang Dynasty, one dou of rice was eight jin, and one jin was six hundred grams.

Li Chengqian was also there, feeling the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and from time to time he would see foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes walking by.

"Brother, don't make the mistake. I heard that they came from a country called Persia to do business here."

Cheng Chumo popped his head out immediately and looked at the exotic beauty walking by with shining eyes.

"Brother, don't look down on these outsiders. They have a unique flavor, hairless ones." Cheng Chumo raised his voice.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but nod his head. This Cheng Chumo really fits the description of the kind of romantic dandy in the novel.

"Fourth brother, you are having fun, aren't you?" Li Chengqian showed a hint of envy in his eyes.

"If I don't spend money, how can I play with those scholars?" Cheng Chumo shook his head. "The miracle doctor is just ahead."

After walking more than a mile forward, the four of them arrived at a medical clinic, but it was already crowded with people, all dressed in fine clothes, and all from wealthy families.

"Don't worry, big brother. Let my fourth brother handle it." Li Dejian said.

Cheng Chumo had already walked over with a swagger and exchanged greetings with those young men for a while, and soon the crowd dispersed.

The little devil is not called that for nothing, his notoriety is well-known.

"Do you want to see a doctor?" Soon, a voice was heard from the pharmacy.

When Li Chengqian walked in, he saw a Taoist priest sitting in front of a desk, examining him.

"Brother, don't underestimate this young Taoist priest. He is the disciple of Sun Simiao whom you want us to find - Meng Shen."

Li Dejian whispered on the side.

Li Chengqian immediately put away his contempt. Although Meng Shen was not as famous as Sun Simiao, he also received Sun Simiao's true teachings and was treated with high courtesy by Li Zhi.

But like Sun Simiao, he was unwilling to enter the court and was more interested in saving the world.

"Meng Yu Tang" was founded by Meng Shen, and its blessings will last for generations.

"Insufficient Yang Qi, weak body, poor blood circulation, plus external injuries, the foot disease is difficult to heal."

The little Taoist boy Meng Shen spoke without asking about the disease, he could see through it at a glance.

"Brother, I'm not bragging. This is a genius doctor who can identify any disease at a glance." Cheng Chumo smiled and flattered Meng Shen to the utmost.

"Can all these illnesses of my elder brother be cured?" Cheng Chumo asked again.

"I can treat physical weakness, but the foot disease has been going on for some time and requires acupuncture and qi control. I am not good at this, so only my master and others can cure it."

Meng Shen said that what he is good at now is the way of keeping healthy, and he has not yet reached those levels in acupuncture.

"Then where is your master?" Li Chengqian asked. This foot disease was also a big problem for him.

"Our master is traveling around the world, and I don't know where he is." Meng Shen shook his head and handed over a list.

"If you take the medicine according to this prescription for three months, it will cure your physical weakness. But you must remember that within three months, you must have a three-day interval between sexual intercourse."

"Little Doctor Meng, this isn't right. What about that golden elixir? The kind that makes you full of energy after taking one pill?" Cheng Chumo gestured.

"The symptoms vary from person to person. He has been weak for a long time and has been fundamentally damaged. He needs to strengthen his body. This is different from your situation." Meng Shen continued to explain.
