Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

The imperial physician's eyes deepened with each beat of his fingertips. He slowly frowned, then raised his hand after a moment. "General Wang, please change hands." Just then, another person walked in from outside.

Wu Qing took a look and found the man familiar, but who was he? He was familiar, but she couldn't remember his name.

This person was from the Imperial Medical Bureau who insisted on paying homage to him a few days ago, but he had no idea what his name was.

Ouch! She hadn't thought she'd see him again. At the time, she'd thought it was embarrassing to have someone kneel down on her. She thought the next time they met, they'd just talk about CPR with a group of people and that would be it. She hadn't imagined she'd see him again somewhere else. What was she supposed to do?

Forget it, just leave it alone! I am on guard duty and no friends or family are allowed to visit me.

Shu Jian is the Right Court Judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He is in charge of military doctors. He himself is a military doctor and is best at treating external injuries, especially knife and arrow wounds.

The Imperial Medical Bureau received an order to examine General Wang's pulse. He had carefully studied General Wang's medical records before, so he volunteered to come.

As he entered the room, he saw the old imperial physician Mu Jie taking General Wang's pulse. He had originally wanted to stand aside and wait for Mu to finish his examination before consulting with him. However, he didn't expect to see the master he had recently worshipped standing beside him. This... if there was this master who could bring the dead back to life, why did he call him here?

Imperial Physician Mu gently let go of General Wang's hand again, his eyes solemn, but he also tried to remain gentle.

Except for Yu Feng who came in with Shu Youyuanpan, everyone in the room knew something about Gu Shixin's condition.

Wu Qing felt a little anxious when she thought about Gu Shixin's current physical condition. Could the magical Chinese medicine cure Gu Shixin now?

Imperial Physician Mu spoke, "General, you are unparalleled in your bravery and have made remarkable contributions to your country and its people. You are truly admirable." His voice was deep and respectful. "But judging by your pulse, your injuries have accumulated over time. Many old injuries have not healed, and new ones have occurred. This is a serious condition."

Gu Shixin heard this and smiled bitterly, having anticipated this outcome. "On the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate. As long as we can be loyal to our country, why should we fear?"

"General, you are a noble man, but your body and hair are a gift from your parents. I dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety," said Imperial Physician Mu earnestly. "Furthermore, the general's health is not only a matter of personal safety, but also the foundation of the nation. In my humble opinion, while the general's illness is difficult to cure, if he can put aside his military duties, rest in peace, and take medicine, perhaps he can slow down his condition and enjoy a few more years of health."

Gu Shixin was silent for a moment. The memory of war and battle had not yet faded, but those glorious years were about to leave him.

I am unwilling, but helpless.

When Helian Hao came back from court, he knew outside the door that the imperial physician and the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau had arrived. He wanted to not disturb them and just listen outside to hear about Gu Shixin's current health condition, and whether the little palace maid was exaggerating or it was true.

But he heard what the Imperial Physician Mu said, which was probably still implicit, and he did not allow anyone to report before stepping into the West Bedroom.

When Imperial Physician Mu and Court Judge Shu saw that the Emperor had arrived, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, performed a profound salute, and said in unison, "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

"No need, get up." He walked to Gu Shixin's side and said, "The border is not peaceful, and the general is also worried. With the general's strategy, will it hinder his rest if he only makes some plans in the court?"

The old imperial physician shook his head in disapproval, deeply concerned for Gu Shixin's health. "General Wang's devotion to the country is truly a blessing to the nation. However, given his current condition, it's difficult for him to work hard, and even mentally."

Helian Hao didn't expect that Gu Shixin's health had become so bad. Looking at the person in front of him, his heart was filled with pain. He didn't care that there were other people present and was about to grab Gu Shixin's hand.

Gu Shixin took his hand off the table before Helian Hao's hand could reach his own. "Thank you, Imperial Physician Mu. I'll take note of this." He just wanted to get rid of everyone in the room as quickly as possible.

Shu Jian saw that the general was about to chase him away, so he stepped forward and said, "I am a little late and haven't even checked your pulse yet. Please, general."

Gu Shixin knew about his physical condition, but Helian Hao didn't know. He had breakfast in such a hurry because he wanted to send the people sent by the Imperial Hospital away as soon as possible so that Helian Hao wouldn't run into them. However, he didn't want him to hear it anyway. No matter how much he heard, he didn't want Helian Hao to know more.

He really didn't like the fact that Helian Hao was so cautious with him because of his physical condition.

He didn't want to show weakness in front of others, and he didn't want others to see Helian Hao bowing his head to him.

He looked up at Helian Hao, but did not extend his hand. He just said, "No need, let's stop here!"

Just as he signaled Yu Feng to send Imperial Physician Mu and Court Judge Shu away, he accidentally saw the worry in Helian Hao's eyes and sighed in his heart.

Looking at Wu Qing standing beside him, he said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, go and rest too!"

Helian Hao didn't know why, but he knew that Gu Shixin was unhappy. He had already taken his pulse and knew the situation. So let it be. He didn't want to make Gu Shixin unhappy, so he waved his hand.

Wu Qing hurriedly bowed and left, but she felt anxious in her heart.

The others also bowed and left.

Helian Hao watched as everyone left before speaking: "When I ask you, just say it's okay and that you know what's going on. How long do you want to keep this secret from me?"

Gu Shixin was most annoyed by Helian Hao's grief-stricken look. How could he still be an emperor? "He's been injured for more than a day or two. He won't die soon."

"You...you know I won't let you go, but you want to leave the palace like this?" Helian Hao shook his head, "No, I don't agree! No one can snatch me away from you!" Not even the King of Hell can do that!

Wu Qing, who had just run back to Xifeng Pavilion, was very satisfied that her Shuiyue Mirror had not malfunctioned. Hearing the quarrel, she rushed into the scene.

Start eating melons on the front line.

In the three years since Gu Shixin returned to Beijing, he would leave the palace every month, saying that he was going home to rest for a few days.

It's just that he knew that Helian Hao didn't have time during the day and would not come to Gu's house, so when Gu Shixin returned home during the day, he would most likely go to see a doctor.

I had been treating and recuperating my body, and it had been neither better nor worse, until that day when I vomited blood in a fit of anger.

The doctor had said before that his body was most sensitive to this kind of situation, and sure enough, from that day on, his physical condition began to take a turn for the worse, and he felt noticeably worse day by day.

Even if he had a good night's sleep, he would still be exhausted when he woke up in the morning. What's more, he often couldn't sleep for more than two hours a night. He always woke up at night and couldn't fall asleep again. When he got up early, he was even more exhausted physically and mentally.

I originally thought that I could still get through another year, but the doctor who had been treating me said during the last pulse check: I don’t know if I can get through this winter, and if I can, I can only get through next autumn.

Although Imperial Physician Mu didn't say it explicitly just now, the meaning is pretty much there. If you take it easy and take care of it, you might be able to get through the winter. So why do we need that judge to see me again? So be it!

He didn't want Helian Hao to know that he had a hard time this winter, he didn't want to see pity in his eyes, and he didn't want his pity. He just wanted to fight with him, quarrel with him, and fight to the death with him.

Even if he died some time ago, he didn't want to be kept sick.

Gu Shixin frowned. "I've been through hundreds of battles, and you don't know what my body is like. The imperial physician compared my injuries with those of the people in the palace. I'm so much stronger than them. I can handle some injuries, they're nothing."

He waved his hands impatiently, not because he was ungrateful. Gu Shixin knew that Helian Hao was worried about him. He didn't have much time left, and it was not worth getting angry about such a thing, so he controlled his temper and spoke to Helian Hao.

Helian Hao was not willing to believe it at all. "Why are you so anxious to send him away? I'll go get him and ask him about it carefully before I feel at ease." He stood up and was about to go out.

"Enough!" Gu Shixin was really annoyed now, "I told you it's okay, but you're not done yet, are you?" How could he let Helian Hao know that he had less than a year to live?

But Helian Hao was afraid that Gu Shixin would be angry, "Then... I..."

Gu Shixin sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever Doctor Mu says. And did he prescribe any medicine? I'll take the medicine too, is that all right?"

Helian Hao could see that Gu Shixin was perfunctory, but it was also a rare cooperation.

He also kept hope in his heart and reminded: "Imperial Physician Mu also said not to overwork."

As long as Helian Hao's concerns could be dispelled and he didn't go to Mu Imperial Physician for confirmation, Gu Shixin would agree to anything. "Okay, okay, I've got it all down. I'll do everything you ask."

Helian Hao was skeptical, but since Gu Shixin had already agreed to cooperate, he couldn't say anything else.

* - * - * - *

Wu Qing from Xifeng Pavilion was not so happy to eat this melon this time. The original book said that Gu Shixin had only one year left to live, but after arriving in the Northern Frontier, although he acted recklessly, he felt relaxed.

I don’t know if it was because he was in a good mood or if the witch doctor was really powerful, but Gu Shixin not only became much stronger, but also fought in the battlefield two years later.

But looking at his current condition, I'm afraid he can't even ride a horse for a long time, let alone go into battle.

He should still have the strength, but he has lost all his endurance. Looking at his face, he looks extremely exhausted.

So Wu Qing didn't believe what Gu Shixin said. She wanted to know how he was doing now.

But how could she, a palace maid, find out the accurate information about the health condition of the great general Wang?

It's difficult to start with the imperial physician, but what about the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau? Can they find out the information?

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, it seems that we need to find a way to talk to the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Helian Suxue is not here, and now the only power she can think of is the Ninth Prince Helian Han.

Wu Qing took a deep breath. Her main task now was to accompany Gu Shixin for meals. She didn't have anything to do between breakfast and dinner. Could she find an excuse to leave Desheng Hall and go find Helian Han?

*

Helian Hao also wanted to ask Imperial Physician Mu about the situation, but Gu Shixin was in Desheng Hall. How could he avoid him and get the real news from the Imperial Physician?

After much consideration, he decided to target the Queen Mother.

After all, apart from checking his pulse every day, the empress dowager is the only one in the palace who can do so.

No matter which imperial physician is checking the empress dowager's pulse now, he will always have a day off. As long as he arranges for Imperial Physician Mu to check the empress dowager's pulse on that day, he can naturally avoid being seen by Gu Shixin when he meets Imperial Physician Mu at his mother's place.

There would be no problem if this matter was handed over to the eunuch Su, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace. He also specifically said, "Don't let anyone find out."

Su He asked, "Your Majesty wants to know the general's health. Would it be inappropriate for me to ask?"

Helian Hao shook his head, "I want to ask in person."

Su He: "Yes." Looking at the emperor's expression, he guessed the seriousness of the problem. He was afraid that something bad might have happened, so it would be better for the emperor to find out for himself!

This is an easy matter, he can arrange it today.

If there is something big or small happening at home with the imperial physician, it is not a big deal to ask for leave.

Helian Hao saw that Gu Shixin looked listless, and regretted that he hadn't controlled himself last night and had gone too far, tiring the man out.

At noon, I put down the work at hand, came out of the East Warm Pavilion and returned to the West Bedroom.

He had reviewed all the memorials submitted in the morning, and someone would come in the afternoon to deliver the memorials he had reviewed to the cabinet.

Seeing Gu Shixin eating fruit and flipping through a book on the outer corridor, he reached out and closed the book, then whispered in Gu Shixin's ear: "Brother Gu, are you sleepy? Take a nap with me!"

It had been a long time since I heard Helian Hao call me like that. Gu Shixin could tell that Helian Hao was trying to act like a spoiled child. Helian Hao was so tall, but when he said that, Gu Shixin looked over with amusement. "You didn't say anything when you were making trouble, and you refused to stop even when I asked you to. Now you're sleepy."

Helian Hao yawned loudly and looked at Gu Shixin with tears in his eyes. "I didn't feel sleepy when I was making noises. I was very energetic. I only felt sleepy after noon."

Gu Shixin put down the book and the fruit, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Have you finished reviewing the memorials that were previously submitted?"

"It's all approved. There weren't many items to pledge. Lao Jiu handled it all for me." Helian Hao yawned again and took Gu Shixin's hand. "Let's go, brother, come with me to rest. I'll be refreshed after a good rest."

Gu Shixin has been shallow in his perception recently. Helian Hao asked him to take a nap, and he did fall asleep, but he woke up in just a cup of tea.

Knowing that Helian Hao was sleepy and not wanting to disturb him, he got up and went to the east warm room.

He casually flipped through the documents on the table and saw a Beijiangtang newspaper. He had been following this matter.

Before leaving, he had been dealing with the affairs of the Northern Frontier. Not only was he used to reviewing them, but it was also the thing he cared about the most. He picked up his pen and wrote a few words, just as a reference for Helian Hao.

I looked through other things and there was nothing too important. I hoped that Dayu would always be peaceful and prosperous, so that I could feel at peace even if I left.

Another cup of tea passed, and Helian Hao still hadn't woken up. Feeling bored, he strolled to the west backyard to look at the flowers and trees there.

When the time came, someone collected the memorials from the East Warm Pavilion and sent them to the Cabinet as usual.

Gu Shixin did not attend today's grand court meeting. The court had already discussed the issue of the northern border and set the principle of "seeking stability first, then declaring war", but Gu Shixin wrote "annihilate them one by one."

After reading the imperial edict, the people from the Ministry of War in the cabinet came to ask to see the emperor again.

Helian Hao frowned when he saw it. Gu Shixin had agreed to ignore state affairs and take good care of his health, so why was he bothering with these things?

He threw the memorial onto the imperial desk and said, "Nonsense!"

He stood up to find Gu Shixin, and Gu Shixin just happened to come over to talk to Helian Hao about the affairs of the Northern Frontier. As he stepped over the threshold, he saw what Helian Hao did.

At this moment, Su He came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wants you to come over!"

Helian Hao pointed at the memorial on the imperial desk with a cold face and said to Gu Shixin: "Wait here and give me an explanation."
