Adoption brings disaster

As to why the imperial physician hadn't arrived for so long, it was because it was still early and the doors of the palace were not open. Due to palace rules, the messenger was delayed at each door.

Secondly, the imperial physician was old and frail, and the Imperial Hospital was thousands of years away and not close by. Although he had received the news and rushed all the way here, his strength was limited, so he was a little late.

Although the imperial physician's behavior was understandable, they could not bear the emperor's wrath.

So when they saw the eunuchs serving the emperor rushing towards them with panicked expressions and muttering curses non-stop.

Everyone was filled with fear and panic, and even their running strength increased a lot, rushing towards Qianqiu Pavilion as if they were risking their lives.

Soon, a group of imperial physicians came to the front of the pavilion in a mighty procession. The old imperial physician who was in the lead trembled all over as he bowed and apologized. The other imperial physicians followed the old imperial physician and kowtowed repeatedly.

The emperor was worried about the seventh prince, so naturally he looked unhappy. And when he saw these imperial doctors rushing in, each without any manners, he was naturally even more displeased.

The Emperor glanced at the head of the Imperial Hospital and sneered, "You are all masters of medicine, masters of the medical field of our Northern Shang Kingdom. I think a mere plague is no problem for you. You can treat it as you please. You can use whatever you want from my private storehouse. Just cure Guang'er."

It is true that disaster may come from the sky while you are still in the palace. The imperial doctors groaned in their hearts, but since it was the emperor's order, they had no choice but to accept it no matter what.

The Emperor saw the head of the Imperial Hospital tremblingly agree and said, "Some of the imperial physicians are old, some are frail, and treating the plague is an extremely arduous task. For the time being, they should stay in Qianqiu Pavilion."

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned to a young eunuch beside him and said, "Tell the imperial kitchen to send more delicious food and drinks every day according to the tastes of the imperial doctors. Convey my order and have General Lu bring more people to guard the place. We must protect the pillars of the Beishang Kingdom, my good imperial doctors."

These words were not out of sympathy for the imperial doctors, but were clearly telling everyone that if they could cure the Seventh Prince successfully, they would be pillars of society; if they could not, they would all be buried with the Seventh Prince.

This was actually a bit unreasonable, but in this feudal era, the imperial physicians could only complain in their hearts but dared not show it on their faces. Even the leading imperial physician had to lead everyone in expressing their gratitude.

After expressing their gratitude, the imperial physicians walked into the pavilion one after another. After the last one came in, the door was closed from the outside. They were afraid that if they wanted to open the door again, the Seventh Prince would have to recover.

The palace walls were towering. Not to mention the imperial doctors who had no martial arts skills, even for the top martial arts masters, it would be like a dream to leave the Qianqiu Pavilion which was guarded by the imperial guards.

This was a life-threatening matter, and everyone was attentive. After entering Qianqiu Pavilion, the imperial doctors rushed into the room to treat the Seventh Prince.

I knew in my heart that this plague was difficult to cure, but when I saw the old doctors taking turns to check the Seventh Prince's pulse, and then they all retreated to the side with sad faces and dejected looks, I knew that the Seventh Prince's plague might not be cured.

These old doctors with superb medical skills are like this, and the young doctors standing by are even more useless. Just looking at the expressions of the old doctors, they are pale as if they are going to be beheaded tomorrow.

Seeing this scene, I was filled with sorrow and didn't know what to do. At this moment, there was a small discussion among the doctors, which made me even more annoyed.

"No one infected with the plague has been saved yet. Does His Highness the Seventh Prince also want one?" A murmur of discussion was heard from the crowd.

"Who says it's not true? Before, General Lu's son, Young Master Lu, not to mention how many doctors from our Imperial Hospital went, there must have been more than thirty or fifty famous doctors in the capital, but in the end, they were helpless and watched Young Master Lu die. No one even dared to prescribe medicine."

"I heard some people have recovered."

"Really? Who prescribed this medicine? Report to His Majesty and invite this famous doctor to the palace."

"It's not cured. It seems that he is a martial arts master. His cultivation is only slightly lower than that of the King of Zhenbei. With his powerful skills, he actually healed himself."

"What you said is nonsense. Everyone in the palace knows that the Seventh Prince is the most ignorant and unskillful."

"I heard that Yuan Qing has been keeping a very strict watch on the Seventh Prince since he entered the palace. That's why the Seventh Prince couldn't practice martial arts for a few days. With his current skills, he can hardly fight off a cold, let alone a plague.

"Oh, it would be great if the King of Zhenbei was in the capital."

The old doctor in charge looked at the people whispering in the corner and scolded them softly, "Shut up! The Seventh Prince is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon. With the protection of God, he will naturally turn misfortune into good fortune. How can those lowly people be compared with the Seventh Prince?"

The most important thing in the palace is to be cautious in what you say and do. These imperial doctors were scolded, and they knew that they would lose their heads if they said these things at this time.

So he immediately lowered his head and turned into a quail, trying to shrink his body, hoping that others would not see him, and never dared to speak again.

"Doctor, please prescribe some medicine." I said calmly, as if the Seventh Prince had caught a slight cold.

"Your Highness Yuanqing, please forgive me. Please wait a moment. This plague is unusual. I am not sure for the moment. Let's discuss it before prescribing medicine." The old doctor said with an awkward smile.

"What the young imperial physician said just now may not be wrong. Who knows, people with profound skills may not be afraid of this plague. The news has spread to the northern border, and the prince will arrive in the capital in about ten days. As long as you protect His Highness the Seventh Prince's life within these ten days, when the prince returns to the capital, the problem may be easily resolved. So, I ask all imperial physicians to pay more attention."

After hearing this, the imperial physicians relaxed their expressions a little, and they quickly said in unison, "Don't worry, Your Highness Yuanqing. We will do our best to treat His Highness the Seventh Prince."

I took off the jade token from my waist, placed it on the table, and said, "This is the jade token of the Zhenbei Palace. If there are any herbs you can't find, you can use this token to go to the Zhenbei Palace's treasury to see if you can find them. If not, you can ask the palace's people to help you find them."

The old doctor knew about the jade token, so he picked it up with trepidation and carefully put it inside his clothes. He said flatteringly, "Your Highness Yuan Qing is truly extraordinary. Not only is he handsome, but he is also very beautiful."

My mind was completely focused on the Seventh Prince right now, so I didn't have time to listen to such flattering words. I interrupted him and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The most important thing is to quickly research the Seventh Prince's medicine."

Seeing my impatience, the old doctor was about to go out to work on a prescription, but then he heard the Seventh Prince say, "Go on, I like what he said."

Seeing the Seventh Prince was acting up again, I coaxed him, "When you're better, I'll have Chunyu find some storytellers and tell you whatever you want. For now, you should just lie down and have the imperial physician prescribe some medicine for you."

The Seventh Prince felt a little regretful after hearing this, but he still lay down beside me and rested quietly.

Everyone was stunned to see how docile the Seventh Prince was to me. In the end, it was the old doctor who bowed and took his leave to bring everyone back to their senses. Everyone also bowed and took their leave quickly.

"I didn't believe it when I read the storybook before. This His Highness Yuan Qing is really amazing. Who is the Seventh Prince? He can make the Seventh Prince obey his orders. He really has great means."

"That's nothing. It's said that when His Highness Yuan Qing first met His Highness the Seventh Prince, he beat him up. Even A-da and the other four couldn't stop him, let alone dare to stop him."

"Hehe, you guys don't understand this, right? The reason why His Highness the Seventh Prince obeys His Highness Yuan Qing's orders is because of that reason."

"What's the reason?" everyone around asked curiously.

"What else could it be? It's because men obey women."

"Don't talk nonsense. How old is the Seventh Prince? How can he understand these things?"

"It's written in the storybook, and it's been spread throughout the palace for a long time, you just don't know about it."

"What storybook? Let me see it."

The imperial physicians were talking excitedly, one of them even took out a storybook. Everyone was watching with great interest, but they did not notice that Ah San was coming up behind them with murderous intent.

The imperial physician was so engrossed in his examination that he didn't even notice Ah San. Seeing their increasingly unruly words, Ah San grew even more furious. He grabbed the notebook and cursed, "You are so foolish to criticize our master! You don't want to keep your tongues anymore, do you? If you don't want them anymore, I'll take the trouble to cut them off for you."

After being threatened by Ah San, the young imperial physician who had just entered the palace also became angry. Seeing that Ah San was just a eunuch, he was not afraid of him. He walked over to the side and asked, "Who is that man? He is so fierce."

"Shut up! That's Ah San. He'll really cut your tongue."

Although they spoke in a low voice, my martial arts skills are not low now, and we were so close that I heard every word.

These words made me very angry. The Seventh Prince listened to me so much, wasn't it because I was a very upright person? Wasn't it because I was familiar with the age characteristics of children, mastered the correct educational knowledge, and adopted appropriate educational methods, which made the Seventh Prince become a good person?

How come in these people's mouths it becomes something like men obeying women's words.

Naively, I don't understand why a man should obey a woman's orders, but I'm just angry about the logic behind it.

No wonder spreading rumors is a crime. I worked so hard to educate the Seventh Prince, but in their mouths, it was so worthless.

I was unhappy, and with a dark face, I called Ah San over and said, "Write down their names for me. When the Seventh Prince recovers, I will teach them a lesson."

"Your Highness, don't worry. Gossipers like them will get their comeuppance tonight at the latest.

I didn't react at first, but when I did, I quickly said, "I didn't mean to do anything to them. They're just talking nonsense. Don't go too far. Just let them suffer a little."

"I understand what Your Highness means. It's not appropriate to shed blood right now. After all, we need to accumulate merit for His Highness the Seventh Prince."

I was speechless when I saw Ah San's expression that he understood everything, but then I thought, I have to make those gossipers suffer so that they know that I am not someone to be trifled with, and that life will be easier in the future.

Otherwise, as time goes by, I don’t know how it will be spread, so although I feel reluctant, I still acquiesce.

After a long morning of commotion, I was very sleepy. The Seventh Prince was in much better condition now, and the most professional medical team of Beishang Kingdom was in the yard. I relaxed all of a sudden, and I couldn't hold on any longer. I hugged the Seventh Prince and fell into a deep sleep.

"Your Highness Yuanqing, Your Highness Yuanqing." I opened my eyes and looked at the old doctor hunched over beside me, calling softly.

I shook my head to sober myself up and said, "What's the matter? Is the Seventh Prince's medicine ready?"

"Your Highness is intelligent, and it means that the Seventh Prince's medicine is ready."

"Bring it here, I'll feed you."

"That's right, that's right." The old doctor stammered, and the others also lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

Seeing them hesitating, I know there is something wrong with this medicine.

I had just woken up and was naturally in a bad mood. Seeing the old doctor like this, I said impatiently, "What is it? Tell me quickly."

"This medicine is very bitter, and adding sugar will ruin its properties." After the old doctor said this, he glanced fearfully at the still sleeping Seventh Prince, as if he was afraid that he would hear it.

I knew in my heart that these doctors were afraid that the Seventh Prince would blame the medicine for being too bitter, so they just wanted to find someone to take the blame.

I didn't expose them, I just asked, "This medicine is bitter, and you can't eat sweets after taking it, but that's what I mean."

"Your Highness is truly clever, that's exactly what I meant." When the old doctor heard these words coming out of my mouth, he knew there was someone to blame, so he hurried to flatter me.

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. This medicine is bitter to begin with, so there's nothing wrong with that. As long as it works, that's all that matters. Bring it over quickly."

After hearing this, someone behind me hurriedly brought the medicine over. I called the seventh prince up again and asked him to drink the medicine.

The seventh prince was unwilling to drink the medicine as soon as he smelled it, and kept saying that it was bitter. Ah San was also complaining that the imperial physician was incompetent and couldn't even make some medicine that was not bitter.

I looked at Ah San expressionlessly, and he immediately shut up. Then he said to the Seventh Prince impatiently, "What do you want me to do to drink?"

"I want it." After hearing that he could negotiate, the Seventh Prince stopped making a fuss and said with a turn of his eyes, "I'll drink as long as Yuan Qing agrees to one thing."

I hate negotiating terms with others the most. Now I have to coax the Seventh Prince to drink the medicine, otherwise he would have been eaten by a poisonous anaconda. Although he couldn't be eaten by a poisonous anaconda, my unhappiness was already shown on my face.

I was unhappy and spoke in a bad tone, saying, "What do you want? Tell me quickly. Take the medicine if you tell me. It's really annoying that I'm making such a hassle to ask you to take medicine."

Seeing that I was angry, the Seventh Prince did not dare to act recklessly and said coquettishly, "I haven't thought about it yet. Yuan Qing, can you please agree to it first? I'll ask Yuan Qing for it when I'm ready."

"Let's make it clear first, you can't ask for anything too expensive, but we can discuss other things."

When everyone heard this, they all thought I was humorous and said it on purpose to make the Seventh Prince happy. In fact, it was because I was used to being poor in my previous life, and now I am still poor at heart. I always say that everything is fine except money.

The Seventh Prince was delighted to hear this, and without hesitation, he pinched his nose and drank the medicine in one gulp. Then he said cheerfully, "I've taken the medicine, Yuan Qing, don't regret it."

What I said made me feel a little embarrassed. Any item on the Seventh Prince was worth my annual income. How could he possibly make me bleed?

I felt embarrassed and looked at the bowl. There was still some medicine in it. I poured some water into it and said, "I didn't finish it. Drink this too."

The Seventh Prince did not argue with me and drank it all up happily.

After the Seventh Prince drank the medicine, the imperial physician withdrew to continue studying the medicine for the Seventh Prince. Asan was also driven out by the Seventh Prince and fell asleep in the Seventh Prince's arms. This is not mentioned here.

I didn't know how long I had slept when the Seventh Prince woke me up and asked, "Yuan Qing is really short of money, so why can't you ask for something too expensive?"

I was woken up by someone and was still a little confused. I subconsciously said the catchphrase from my previous life: "You can cheat on my feelings, but you can't cheat on my money. I can only forgive you if you cheat on my feelings, but if you dare to cheat on my money, I will definitely kill you."

"I don't want Yuanqing's money. You can use my money as you like. I won't cheat on your feelings. I will be good to you for the rest of my life." The seventh prince said seriously.

Seeing the Seventh Prince like this, I was also curious, and thinking about the request I made, I was even more curious, so I asked, "I am very curious about what I can give you. In terms of wealth, my annual income of more than three thousand and two hundred yuan, even if I gave it all to you, it would not be enough to buy the little things you casually threw into the water. But as for the rest, I am a nobleman and cannot enter the government or interfere in politics. When you leave the palace and set up your own residence in the future, I can't help you at all. I really can't imagine what you want me to give you."

No matter how I asked, the Seventh Prince would not say anything. He just said that he would tell me when he had made up his mind, and I would definitely be able to do it.

I narrowed my eyes and said unkindly, "Are you being lazy? I advise you to give up on this idea. If you don't practice for a day, you will lose your energy for ten days. I will never let you be lazy."

I don’t know if it was the effect of the medicine or the plague in the seventh prince that became more serious, but before I could finish my words, he fell into a deep sleep. I looked at him worriedly, but there was nothing I could do but hope for Buddha’s blessing.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
