The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Master Xiao lowered his head, looked at his crippled legs, and recalled.

"In the first year of Chengde, he had just ascended the throne. The Northern Di came to pay tribute and proposed a duel.

That time I injured my leg and brought disgrace to Dali. The emperor was so angry that he sent me to prison. "

"My father led the whole family, young and old, to kneel outside the imperial city and beg for a whole day and night.

He agreed to release me from prison, but when I returned home, everything was robbed, as if it had been robbed.”

Xiao Li was only five years old at that time, and although he had some memories, they were not deep.

Princess Yu and the three uncles of the Xiao family all had pain in their eyes. That was a scar that Prince Yu's Mansion did not want to mention.

"So, it wasn't the Northern Di people who did it as the Five Cities Military Command said, but it was the dog emperor who sent people to search!" Master Xiao San punched the pillar beside him.

Master Xiao smiled sarcastically: "I guess so. The clan members were also dissatisfied with his actions at that time.

Everyone thought he had just ascended the throne and was full of energy and frivolity. Little did they know that he had other intentions. "

Shen Baozhao understood. She had always wondered why Master Xiao was still alive, but Xiao Li had become the prince of Prince Yu's Mansion.

It must be because Master Xiao's legs were crippled that Prince Yu had no choice but to pass the title to his grandson instead of his son.

"But what is he looking for?" Xiao Li asked.

Princess Yu shook her head, she didn't know either.

"Second brother, Fei Ge called your father back. The whole family is about to be bullied to death, where can he hide away and have some free time!

Just tell me, if he doesn’t come back this month, then don’t come back!” Princess Yu said angrily.

Shen Baozhao said to Princess Yujun with dissatisfaction: "Grandma..."

Princess Yu was as guilty as a child: "I'm not angry, I'm not angry."

Xiao Li glanced sideways, remembering that Shen Baozhao was proficient in medicine, so he asked, "Cousin, can you please take my father's pulse?"

Shen Baozhao had wanted to say it a long time ago. As soon as she entered the room and saw the master's expression, she felt something was wrong.

Generally, a leg injury will take many years to heal. Although one cannot walk, one’s energy and spirit will not be lost.

That’s right, Master Xiao was extremely skinny, as if all his energy had been sucked out of him.

Shen Baozhao nodded and asked someone to bring a pulse pillow.

Master Xiao readily extended his hand and smiled at Bao Zhao: "Niece, feel free to feel his pulse. It's okay if you can't cure him. The imperial physician said that uncle's leg is incurable."

Shen Baozhao knew that Master Xiao pretended to be relaxed because he didn't want to put pressure on her.

The people in my grandmother’s family are the real family!

She carefully felt his pulse. As expected, he was poisoned! And there was more than one kind!

"My uncle must have been ambushed when he was fighting against the Northern Di people, right?" Shen Baozhao suspected.

Master Xiao was shocked. No one knew about the conspiracy against him except the emperor who had told him to express his grievances.

"Yes. It was a conspiracy."

“The Northern Di people carry extremely sophisticated hidden weapons that can shoot extremely fine needles.

My knees were numbed by the needles and I lost all feeling for a moment, which is why I was defeated by the northern barbarians."

Master Xiao's face was full of regret when he spoke about this. He was careless.

When the Third Master Xiao heard what the First Master Xiao said, he walked around angrily, cursing the Second Prince of Beidi.

Master Xiao II felt even more deeply that Prince Yu's Mansion was actually in danger, and the Emperor even did not pursue the faults of the Northern Di people in order to suppress the Mansion.

The sinister Master Xiao Er thought that if he invited his father back this time, he would never let him go no matter what.

Why should he be left alone to support the court with Li'er while his old father is living happily?

Prince Yu, who was far away in Yuhang, sneezed. Could it be that my old wife started to miss me?

Getting back to the point, Shen Baozhao took back the pulse pillow, "Uncle's leg pain can be relieved, but it will be difficult for him to fight the enemy in battle like before."

Master Xiao didn't seem to care. "Zhao Zhao, it's okay. It's good enough to be relieved."

"With acupuncture and medicinal baths, my uncle's legs were able to stand up soon. But he was not allowed to run or jump."

Madam Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, exclaimed: "What did you say? Can your uncle really stand up?"

Shen Baozhao smiled and said, "If my uncle is obedient, then of course I can do it."

"Be obedient, be obedient. Your uncle will definitely be obedient." Madam Xiao agreed hurriedly.

"My uncle was poisoned by the Aconitum poison, which is unique to the Northern Di. Aconitum is a poison that only grows in the Northern Di.

If it was just Aconitum, it wouldn't be difficult to cure. What's hateful is that they added the venom of the mountain spider to strengthen the Aconitum's poison."

When it comes to using poison, Shen Baozhao is not afraid of anyone except Luo Bucheng.

"I used golden needles to suppress the poison of the mountain spider, and the medicinal bath can remove the poison of the aconite. My uncle will be able to walk soon."

Shen Baozhao thought about it carefully again: "If you want to completely cure the poison of the Wangshan spider, it is possible. But it is too difficult.

The only nemesis of the Mountain Spider is the venom of the Silver Snake."

Xiao Li added: "Silver snakes are only raised by the Northern Di royal family, and each snake corresponds to a person in the royal family, who supplies blood for nourishment."

"Yes." Shen Baozhao praised.

Master Xiao II put his hands behind his back and paced: "It's hard to find a Beidi person in Dali now, let alone the Beidi royal family."

Master Xiao sighed and said, "Forget it. I have no regrets as long as I can stand up and walk."

"If the court doctor is trustworthy, I can teach him the acupuncture method so that he can start the treatment as soon as possible."

The acupuncture points for Princess Yu were relatively private, and since she was a woman, it was inconvenient for her to let the court doctor do it.

It's fine for Master Xiao, Shen Baozhao isn't in Prince Yu's mansion every day, so the mansion doctor would be more convenient.

Xiao Li asked someone to call the palace doctor, and Shen Baozhao began to give acupuncture to Master Xiao in front of everyone.

In order to allow the court physician to see clearly, Shen Baozhao performed the acupuncture extremely slowly this time, while also explaining along the way.

The court doctor also cherished this opportunity and studied very hard.

Generally, doctors are unwilling to pass on their ancestral skills to others, unless the other person is a formal apprentice.

There are very few people like Shen Baozhao who are afraid that others may not be able to learn.

The doctor in the government office thanked her repeatedly and praised her for being so generous!

After the work was done, it was already lunch time, so Princess Yu invited Shen Baozhao, his daughter and his two daughters to have lunch together.

It was a small family reunion party.

Although Prince Yu's mansion has three branches, it does not have many offspring.

In the eldest house, apart from Xiao Li's elder sister who had already married, there was still a younger sister, the fourth Miss Xiao Yuyao.

The second branch of the family only had one son and one daughter, the second young master Xiao Yao, and the second young lady Xiao Yuzhen.

The third room has only one daughter, Miss Xiao Yuling.

None of them had wives or concubines, and the family tradition of Prince Yu's Mansion was very pure and honest. Everyone was very friendly to Shen Baozhao.

Just as she was praising him in her heart, an untimely voice shattered Shen Baozhao's thoughts.

"It was you who defeated Sister Yuheng during the Shangsi Festival?" Xiao Li's sister Xiao Yuyao raised her head proudly and asked.

Since both of their names contain the character "玉", Xiao Yuyao and Su Yuheng are very good friends.

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, she caught a cold and did not go to the Changchun Restaurant. But later she heard Su Yuheng talk about Shen Baozhao.

They shared a common hatred for the enemy, thinking that Shen Baozhao had stolen Su Yuheng's limelight.

She ran to Shen Baozhao and looked him up and down critically.

"It doesn't look that great, not even as good as one of Sister Su's fingers."
