Chang'an Xu's hometown

Princess Chaoyang saw Imperial Physician Liu, who hurriedly took her foster mother to the Imperial Hospital, and she followed him.

On the way to the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Liu met the fisherman, but he didn't pay attention to him. When the fisherman saw how hurried they were and saw that it was his little apprentice on the stretcher, he followed them.

After the emperor sent someone to call the people from the imperial kitchen, he also went to the Imperial Hospital in a sedan chair.

At this time, a major event happened in the Imperial Hospital.

Somehow, a wild cat sneaked into the Imperial Hospital.

It ruined all the herbal medicine that Doctor Liu had worked so hard to prepare.

The herbal medicines prepared by Doctor Liu are extremely precious.

It grows only once a year. When it is damaged, it has a rotten smell.

So, now the entire Imperial Hospital is filled with the stench of decay.

The doctors in the Imperial Hospital were all very panicked when they heard about this. They were thinking, what should they do when Liu Taiyi comes back? If he knew about this, he would definitely turn the entire Imperial Hospital upside down. They thought that this matter must not be known by Liu Taiyi and they must clean up the spoiled herbs before Liu Taiyi comes back.

So they quickly picked up the damaged herbs and prepared to throw them away.

Then, they asked their apprentices to find a way to clean up the stench of spoiled herbs prepared by Doctor Liu.

Just then Doctor Liu came back, followed by his adoptive mother and Princess Chaoyang.

As soon as Doctor Liu arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, he smelled the stench of decay.

He wondered what was going on. Why did this smell seem familiar? He thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Oh no! Could it be that someone has ruined my herbal medicine?"

He hurriedly pushed open the door of the Imperial Hospital and walked in with big strides.

Princess Chaoyang looked at his hurried look and sent someone to push her adoptive mother and then hurried in.

The further Doctor Liu and his companions walked into the Imperial Hospital, the stronger the odor they smelled.

He saw that there was no one in the Imperial Hospital except a sleeping one-eyed wild cat.

He felt confused and patted his head.

Doctor Liu said, "Oh no! Something big must have happened."

Then, he wanted to find someone to ask.

Just then, Doctor Han from the Imperial Hospital and his apprentices came back.

When Imperial Doctor Han saw Imperial Doctor Liu, he was startled and put his hands behind his back.

When Doctor Liu saw Doctor Han, he was delighted and asked him hurriedly, "Doctor Han, what happened in the Imperial Hospital? Why are no one here? And what are you hiding in your hand? Can you explain it to me?"

Doctor Han saw that Doctor Liu put his hands behind his back because he had not yet thrown away all the herbs and there was still some left in his hand, so he hid his hands behind his back.

After hearing what Doctor Liu said, Doctor Han said, "Old Liu, I'm not hiding anything."

When Doctor Liu heard him say this, he said, "I don't believe you. Show me your hand."

After hearing what Doctor Liu said, Doctor Han thought, I can't show this to you. If I do, you'll have to tear down my house.

He said to him, "Old Liu, don't look at it. This is not a good thing."

When Doctor Liu heard him say that, he said to him, "It's not a good thing. I'd better take a look at it. Come on, take your hand out and let me take a look."

Doctor Han had heard him say that and said to him, "Old Liu, you'd better not see him. You will definitely feel bad if you see him. You are old, so it is better for you not to know some things."

When Doctor Liu heard him say that, he wanted to see it even more. He thought of a good idea, and his eyes lit up. He said to Doctor Han, "Okay, okay, then I won't see it."

When Doctor Han heard him say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Doctor Liu, "Old Liu, this is very good."

Suddenly, Doctor Liu grabbed his hand. After Doctor Liu grabbed Doctor Han's hand, he saw the broken herbs in Doctor Han's hand. Doctor Liu said angrily, "Okay, Old Han, no wonder you didn't show it to me. You broke my herbs. You have to compensate me for the herbs. You have to compensate me for the herbs."

After hearing what Liu said, Doctor Han touched his head and said to Liu, "Old Liu, I didn't break it. I don't know who broke it, so don't ask me."

When Doctor Liu heard what he said, he became even angrier. He said to him, "You didn't break it? Why are you hiding it if you didn't break it? It was you who broke it. Old Han, you should pay me back."

Doctor Liu thought for a moment - how can he compensate me? There is only one a year.

Then he said to Doctor Han: "No, Old Han...

You have to find a way to compensate me. If you don't compensate me, I will ask the emperor to make a decision for me. Old Han, I know where your precious golden needle is. If you don't compensate me, I will break your golden needle."

When Doctor Han heard what Doctor Liu said, he quickly said, "Old Liu, please don't, please don't break my golden needle. Even if I beg you, this is my lifeblood. Old Liu, you have to believe me, this is really not what I did."

When Doctor Liu heard him say that, he became even angrier. He said, "It wasn't you who did it. It wasn't you who did it. Well, you said it wasn't you who did it, so who in the Imperial Hospital did it?

"Old Han, if you can't tell me, then you did it! If you don't compensate me, you can forget about your golden needles. I can't guarantee that the golden needles you see later will still be intact!"

When Doctor Han heard what Doctor Liu said, he was silent for a while and said to Doctor Liu, "Old Liu, how can you ask me to compensate you? I also know that you only have one herb a year.

Besides, it really wasn’t me who damaged your herbs. I really don’t know who in the Imperial Hospital damaged your herbs. I also want to know who did this bad thing.

Old Liu, please let go of my golden needle. Consider it as a plea from me. "

After hearing what Doctor Han said, Doctor Liu strode to the door of Doctor Han's medicine room without saying a word. He pushed the door open and rushed in. When Doctor Han saw him, he stamped his feet in anxiety.

When Tian Zisu, the apprentice of Doctor Han, saw his master like this, he asked his master, Doctor Han: "Master, what should we do?"

When Doctor Han heard what he said, he said to him, "Xiaotian, what else can we do? Go find the emperor? You go find the emperor quickly, I'd better go after Lao Liu quickly, I can't let him break my golden needle."

After hearing what his master said, Oda nodded to him and walked out.

When Doctor Han saw him leave, he quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Doctor Liu.

At this moment, the emperor's sedan chair stopped in front of the Imperial Hospital. The emperor had arrived.

As soon as the emperor got out of the sedan chair, he smelled a rotten odor and felt very confused. At this time, Xiaotian just came out of the Imperial Hospital.

When the emperor saw him, he was so happy that he coughed twice. When Xiaotian heard the emperor's cough, he realized that the emperor he was looking for was actually at the door of the Imperial Hospital.

He was delighted and quickly saluted the emperor. Oda said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

When the emperor heard this, he said to him, "My dear Tian, ​​please excuse me."

Oda stood up.

The emperor saw that only Xiao Tian was there and didn't see his master, Imperial Physician Han, so he asked him, "My dear Tian, ​​where is your master? I have something to ask your master. What's going on in this Imperial Hospital? Why is there such a rotten smell?"

After hearing this, Xiaotian explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my master is in the Imperial Hospital.

This stench comes from the herbal medicine prepared by Imperial Doctor Liu. No one knows who messed up the herb, but it has this stench after it went bad.

It is very diffuse and fills the entire Imperial Hospital. So Your Majesty, you can smell this smell. "

The emperor nodded after hearing this, and then asked Xiao Tian: "Is Doctor Liu in the Imperial Hospital? Did he treat the little girl?"

Xiaotian replied: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Liu is in the Imperial Hospital, but I don't know whether the little girl I told you about was cured.

But as far as I know, that shouldn't be the case. Doctor Liu now thinks that Master Chen ruined his herbs. He went to my master's pharmacy and wanted to break Master Chen's golden needles. "

Seeing him like this, Master asked me to go find you. As it turned out, you were right in front of the Imperial Hospital. When the Emperor heard this, he said to him, "Xiaotian, I know. Let's go to the Imperial Hospital."

The emperor thought that he didn't know what had happened to the little girl. If anything happened to the little girl, I would be so annoyed with Chaoyang. If Chaoyang told her mother, her mother would definitely blame me again.

After hearing this, Oda nodded and took the emperor into the Imperial Hospital. As soon as they entered the Imperial Hospital, they could smell a stronger smell.

After a while, they arrived at the place where Doctor Liu and his men were. When they arrived here, they saw that it was a mess, with all kinds of destroyed herbs on the ground.

Oda was heartbroken when he saw this.

When the emperor saw this, he asked Xiao Tian, ​​"My dear Tian, ​​what's going on? Could it be that Imperial Physician Liu Qin and Imperial Physician Han had a fight?"

Xiaotian scratched his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't know either. It was not like this before I left."

After the emperor heard what Xiaotian said, he said to him: "Where are they now? Take me to find them."

After hearing what the emperor said, Xiaotian took the emperor to Doctor Han's medical room.

At this time, something big was happening in Doctor Han's medicine room.

Doctor Liu was standing on the table, holding Doctor Han's golden needle high in his hand. When Doctor Han saw this, he also stood on the table and grabbed his hand, wanting to take the golden needle from Doctor Liu's hand.

At this time, the emperor and Oda walked in, and the emperor saw this scene.

He said quickly, "How disgraceful! You are not young anymore and you are still doing such childish things. Doctor Liu, Doctor Han, please get off the table. You are not young anymore, aren't you afraid of hurting your old waists by doing this? Come down quickly."

When Imperial Physician Han and Imperial Physician Liu heard what the emperor said, they both walked down from the table.

Doctor Han smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be like this, but the needle he holds is my lifeblood."

Your Majesty, if you don't ask Doctor Liu to return my golden needle to me, I will resign. I am old now. It is time for me to take a rest.

My family has always wanted me to take a rest, but I still want to take on more apprentices and pass on my medical skills."

Doctor Liu said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, Doctor Han destroyed my herbs and refused to compensate me. I want him to feel the feeling of having something precious destroyed."

Your Majesty, if Imperial Doctor Han doesn't compensate me, I will resign. In fact, I have never liked the feeling of being an official. My ideal is to live in seclusion, travel around, and then become a traveling doctor.

But my family just wants me to be an official and have a stable life. But now I am old. It is time for me to resign and fulfill my dream.

I originally wanted to teach another apprentice before resigning, but Doctor Han destroyed my herbs and refused to compensate me, so I am ready to resign now.

Anyway, Your Majesty, didn't you give each minister a blank memorial because Consort Xian was pregnant? Didn't you say that anything could be written on that memorial? Oh, it's not Consort Xian, it's Consort Rong now.

I have decided to submit that memorial and resign from office."

When the emperor heard them say this, he said to them, "Resignation is resignation. I have heard so many resignations today.

Don’t mention this matter anymore. If you do, I will pretend I didn’t hear you. Don’t write me a memorial or I won’t approve it.”

Then he said to Doctor Liu: "Old Liu, if Old Han doesn't want to compensate me, can't I compensate you? I still have that kind of herb in my private storehouse."

After hearing this, Doctor Liu remained silent and didn't say a word. Seeing his expression, the Emperor said to Doctor Han, "My dear Han, why don't you ask him to break your golden needle? I have a golden needle in my private storehouse that your master presented to me last time, which is better than this one. How about giving it to you as a reward?"

Doctor Liu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you don't understand. I am an expert in preparing herbs. Even if you give me the same herbs now.

The time for him to make it has passed, and it is useless to give it to me, so you should not give it to me. I have decided to resign."

When Doctor Han heard the emperor say this, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have used the golden needle for decades. I started when I was a novice in medical skills and now I have become a mature doctor."

In fact, I have several pairs of identical gold needles.

I care about it not because of its value, but because of what it has gone through for me.

This pair of golden needles was given to me by my master as a reward when I finished memorizing the medical book for the first time. Even if you give me something better, I will not trade it for this."

When the emperor heard them say this, he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Princess Chaoyang arrived. As soon as she arrived, she pulled Doctor Liu over and said to him, "Doctor Liu, follow me. Go and check on Qingdai. Her face is all purple now."

When Doctor Liu heard this, he immediately put the medicine box on his back and ran to the foster mother. He saw the foster mother's face and said, "It's not good. Hurry up. Xiaotian, go to the pharmacy quickly. Bring me the herbs in the third column, second row of the medicine cabinet, quickly."

After hearing this, Xiaotian nodded and quickly ran to the pharmacy to get the herbs. Doctor Liu ground the herbs into powder, poured water into it, stirred it, and fed it to the foster mother. After drinking it, the foster mother's complexion looked much better.

Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He said, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, the timing was just right and I almost got through it."

When the Emperor saw Doctor Liu being hurriedly pulled over by Princess Chaoyang, he followed Doctor Liu and asked, "How is this girl?"

Doctor Liu replied, "Your Majesty, the girl is fine now. I have just given her the herbs. She will be fine after drinking them again in the evening."

The emperor nodded after hearing this.

At this time, people from the imperial kitchen came.

The person who came was Chef Tian from the imperial kitchen.

Chef Tian is here to see the emperor.

When he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Hospital, he also smelled the stench. He went in and saw the emperor and bowed to him. He said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The emperor then said, "My dear, please don't bow."

Chef Tian stood up and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?" The emperor heard what he said and asked him, "Old Tian, ​​are you making the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup today?"

Chef Tian patted his head and said to him proudly: "Your Majesty, you also know that, yes, I made the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, which is my masterpiece. I learned it from ancient books.

This tonic soup is made with precious mountain spring water, rare and valuable pigeons, and various precious medicinal materials.

It takes nine whole days to cook, and it has to go through many tedious steps. These days, my people have been so busy making this soup that they don't know when to cook it.

But I was just about to ask you, my people said that my medicine was taken away by Concubine Jing.

Your Majesty, could you please ask Concubine Jing to return my medicine to me?"
