The little ancestor of the family

But now looking at these two prescriptions again, Li Mo suddenly discovered that there were huge problems with these two prescriptions.

On the surface, both prescriptions can cure the emperor's illness.

In fact, no matter which one Prince Rui chose, it would not help the emperor's condition at all.

Even the medicinal materials such as Pinellia ternata and Su Yue in it will promote the further spread of the disease.

So this is a dead end.

No matter who King Rui chooses, the final result will definitely be the worst.

In the mildest case, the emperor will be bedridden and unable to wake up for a long time. In the worst case, the emperor’s life will be in danger and he will die.

Sweat broke out on Li Mo's forehead.

If Ye Xinran hadn’t been there, there’s no telling how this wave would have ended.

"What does the prince plan to do?"

Li Mo asked.

Since returning to the capital, I haven't had time to sort out everything before waves of things have started happening.

It seemed like someone deliberately chose this time point to catch King Rui off guard.

King Rui closed his eyes slightly and began to calculate the direction of development according to the other party's plan.

If King Rui had not known that there was something wrong with Song Ming, he would have chosen to believe Song Ming when faced with this dispute.

Even if he consulted another doctor, the final result would be similar to what Li Mo saw.

When the essential results are not too different, King Rui will naturally choose the side he believes in.

So what happens next?

King Rui thought about it.

He would be implicated because of the emperor's health, and even framed as the mastermind behind the emperor's murder.

Thus,

He brought back evidence from the northern border that the third prince had an affair with the barbarians, but no one cared.

Thinking of this, King Rui opened his eyes.

"Butler Chen," said King Rui, "Please ask Chen Mian to come over. I have something to tell him."

"Yes!"

Butler Chen quickly responded.

At this time, Prince Rui looked at Ye Xinran and said, "Miss Lu is familiar with this disease and must know its solution. Please make the medicine that the emperor can take as soon as possible."

"No problem." Ye Xinran replied.

"But Your Majesty, should we tell them that we are using the prescription we wrote ourselves?"

King Rui smiled meaningfully, "Of course not."

"Wouldn't it be better if they themselves felt that their medicine had cured the emperor?"

Ye Xinran understood what he meant and smiled too.

Li Mo held up the prescription in his hand: "Which of these two prescriptions should we choose?"

King Rui asked, "Which one is Song Ming's?"

Li Mo took a look and took out one of them. "This one doesn't have Angelica and Polygonum multiflorum."

"Okay!" King Rui said, "Then choose this one!"

That night, Prince Rui brought Ye Xinran and Li Mo to the palace again.

Except for those on duty, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau had gone home to rest. However, when Prince Rui arrived, they were all called back.

Prince Rui held up two prescriptions and said, "We went back and studied them carefully, and decided to use a more conservative treatment, so we chose the prescription from Imperial Physician Song."

When Song Ming heard this, he finally felt relieved.

Prince Rui's attitude today was different from usual. He almost thought that the prince had discovered some secret.

But in the end he chose his own recipe, which means he is still the same as before, at least he regards himself as someone who can be trusted.

"Since Prince Rui said so, I will immediately have someone get the medicine according to the prescription."

"Wait a moment!"

King Rui stopped Song Ming who was about to leave.

Song Ming had to turn back and asked, "What does King Rui want?"

"This medicine should not pass through the hands of others. You have to pick the medicine yourself, boil it yourself, and deliver it here yourself.

I don’t trust anyone else, I’ve been working hard on Imperial Doctor Song these past few days!”

Song Ming was already a person of status in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and now he never had to do things like prescribing and boiling medicines himself.

But since King Rui had spoken, he dared not disobey and had to respond, "Yes! Please rest assured, King Rui, I will make sure to boil this medicine until it has the best effect."

Prince Rui then said to the others, “All the imperial doctors should be careful. The emperor is so seriously ill now, and it is said that he was too weak before.

In my opinion, you should take advantage of this time to research several prescriptions for all-round nourishment, and when the emperor recovers, give him a good nourishment.”

An imperial physician immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness may not know that we have hundreds of tonic prescriptions in the Imperial Hospital, all of which are formulated according to different seasons, as well as the changes in the emperor's body."

King Rui glanced at him sideways.

Doctor Wei has been working in the Imperial Medical Bureau for several decades.

His medical skills are mediocre and he has not made any achievements, so he has not even been able to make an original judgment until now. Even Song and Ming who came later were of higher rank than him.

"What does this mean, Doctor Wei?"

Prince Rui said in a bad tone, "Don't even mention that you have hundreds of tonic prescriptions, even if you have thousands, if you can't take care of the emperor's body, then they are useless prescriptions.

If you were really so dedicated and took care of the emperor's body according to different seasons, how could he suddenly vomit blood and faint!

The current deficit is your dereliction of duty!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered.

If the imperial physician fails in his duty, he will lose his head!

Several people looked at Song Ming at the same time. It was he who said that the emperor was in poor health.

Song Ming's anus tightened when he was stared at.

Fortunately, King Rui spoke again at this time, "But what's done is done."

"From now on, I want you to research a new recipe for the ten-ingredient tonic. This recipe cannot be the same as the previous one. It must be beneficial to His Majesty's health. Do you understand?"

After hearing King Rui say that he didn't care about the past, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "We understand!"

"Then I will go get some medicine for the emperor now. I hope the emperor can wake up as soon as possible."

……

In the past two days, the emperor's health has been maintained by the previous prescription. Now with the new prescription, everyone has hope.

When the concubines in the harem heard the news, they were all very happy.

"Great! After the emperor uses this new prescription, he should wake up soon."

"Yes, at a time like this, King Rui has to step in to stabilize the situation."

In the imperial study room.

Hearing that Prince Rui had already decided on a new prescription, the Fourth Prince put the pen in his hand on the table and stretched his body, "It's finally decided.

I thought King Rui was going to hide this time and push the matter to me."

"Your Highness, this is the bird's nest porridge that Concubine Qi asked me to bring. Concubine Qi told me to drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."

A young eunuch came in, put the food box on the table, and brought out a bowl of freshly cooked bird's nest porridge.

"Did Lady Qi ask you to deliver the bird's nest porridge, or anything else?"

The fourth prince asked.
