Chapter VIII Treatment
With the help of Hunyuan Body Refining and Pills, Brand made rapid progress. Just as he was thinking about how to obtain more advanced precious medicinal materials, something big happened in the capital.
That is, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi fell into the water while on a cruise ship and was frightened. He was bedridden and fell ill since then. The imperial physician in the palace tried various methods, but the results were not obvious.
On that day, Brand had refined the last pot of powerful Dragon and Tiger Pill and was about to practice Hunyuan Body Refining Technique, Master Zhen hurried over and said to him with an excited look: "Nephew, this is a great thing, a great thing!"
"Oh? What made Uncle Zhen so lose his composure?" Brand looked calm, and his daily meditation and hard practice were quite good at cultivating qi.
"It is said that the factory owner, Lord Wei, is recruiting famous doctors. I recommend my nephew to Lord Tian. Now Lord Tian wants to summon you." Mr. Zhen said excitedly.
Brand frowned. Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng were not good birds. Brand knew in their minds that they must have wanted to treat Emperor Tianqi. Wei Zhongxian has his current status and it depends entirely on the emperor's favor. If Emperor Tianqi has an accident, the emperor will be favored by the emperor and the emperor will be favored by him.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian definitely did not want something to happen to Emperor Tianqi. But Emperor Tianqi's younger brother, King Xin, Zhu Youjian, didn't think so. He had long wanted to eliminate the eunuch party, but only the emperor could do this. Now Emperor Tianqi favored Wei Zhongxian very much. If he wanted to get rid of the eunuch party, King Xin would have to change the world.
If Brand intervenes in this matter, he will face great danger whether it is success or failure. However, danger is accompanied by opportunities. If he can cure Emperor Apocalypse and get on this big ship, it will be much easier to collect precious medicinal materials in the future.
Making up his mind, Brand nodded and said, "Uncle Zhen, I'll go with you."
"Okay! OK!" Mr. Zhen was overjoyed. After Brand finished dressing up, he took Brand to the agreed location.
The location agreed by Tian Ergeng and Mr. Zhen was not in the Jinyiwei Yamen, but in the Nuanxiang Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofangsi, which was actually an official brothel.
Tian Ergeng was Wei Zhongxian's man. Now Wei Zhongxian has great power and is vaguely more than ten thousand people. The status of his subordinates is naturally rising.
As soon as he entered Nuanxiang Pavilion, Brand smelled the strong smell of powder, and a large group of sexy girls were serving the guests who came to consume.
Official brothels are relatively high-end. Those who can come here to play are either merchants and giants or dignitaries, and they all have certain backgrounds and identities.
After entering the room, Brand saw a middle-aged man sitting by the wooden table in the middle of the room. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he was free to be the aura of a superior. Next to him were five official prostitutes with very good looks and figures.
When Master Zhen saw the middle-aged man, he immediately saluted and said, "Mr. Tian, I have brought you the person."
"I Rukawa Kaede, I have met Lord Tian!" Brand was wearing a Taoist robe when he went out, and he had a unique atmosphere.
Tian Ergeng patted Master Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Very good! Zidan, you did a good job." Then he stood up and walked to Brand, and praised with a smile: "Master Rukawa Kaede is so young, he is such a heroic young man! I take the strength pill and the dragon and tiger pill you have refined every day, and the effect is really very good!"
"I am flattered by Lord Montaigne's kindness." Brand immediately showed a panic look. Tian Ergeng saw it and felt very satisfied.
"I wonder if Taoist Priest Rukawa Kaede belongs to the Quanzhen Sect or the Zhengyi Sect? Are there any taboos?" Tian Ergeng asked.
"I am just a Taoist priest from the side, with no sect and no sect, and there is no taboo." Brand said truthfully.
"Oh? That's good!" Tian Ergeng felt even more satisfied after hearing this. It was easier to buy without taboos and use it for him.
Tian Ergeng clapped his hands. When the maid outside the door heard it, he immediately arranged to serve the dishes. Soon, one exquisite dishes after another were served by the maids. After the dishes were served, the last maid bowed slightly and said, "Sir, the dishes have been served, please use them slowly."
"Come on, Master Rukawa Kaede, try it. The dishes in Nuanxiang Pavilion are pretty good." Tian Ergeng first said to Brand with a smile on his face, and then said to the official prostitutes next to him with a serious face: "What are you doing when you stand? Why don't you come here to serve the distinguished guests!"
Among the five official prostitutes, three were divided into three to serve Tian Ergeng, Brand and Donnie Yen, picking up food, feeding wine, kneading shoulders, etc. The other three were pouring wine and other miscellaneous things.
The official prostitute who served Brand should have just been in the box for a while and was still a little unwilling to let go. Before Brand traveled through time, he was a rich young man who had been baptized by nightclubs for a long time. The little bit of the matter was completely a pediatrician. He was still enjoying the service of this pretty beauty.
"Haha! It turns out that the Taoist priest is also a fellow Taoist, how about it? What about the girl here?" Tian Ergeng gave Brand an ambiguous look.
"Very good." Brand nodded. Modern makeup and cosmetic surgery techniques are too powerful, making it difficult to tell the truth. Although there were makeup in ancient times, at least they were original, and they all had a very good skin.
"Wait a minute, the Taoist priest will just say that if one is not enough, it will be fine to pick a few more." Tian Ergeng smiled wickedly.
After eating and drinking, Tian Ergeng drove out all the officials he served and began to talk to Brand and the others about their affairs.
"I take the elixirs refined by Taoist priest every day, and the effect of the medicine goes without saying. I shouldn't have questioned the Taoist priest's ability, but it's a big deal. If there is a mistake, it will be a head loss. Therefore, I invited the Taoist priest to come over and ask again in person." Tian Ergeng said.
"Please speak with Lord Tian!" Brand signaled.
"I believe Zidan has already told you about the emperor's fall into the water. Are you sure you can cure this disease?" Tian Ergeng stared at Brand straight, as if he cared about his answer.
"I dare not make a promise now. I have to take the emperor's pulse to know. However, according to your description, there is 70% certainty." Brand took retreat as an advance, but he slightly showed his strength.
"70%? It's enough! The imperial physicians in the palace have been busy for so many days but have no idea. Taoist priest, you are 70% sure that you are many times better than them." Tian Ergeng nodded with satisfaction.
"Mr. Tian praised it!"
"Is there anything that the Taoist priest needs to prepare? This matter is extremely urgent. I want to take you to see the factory now and arrange for you to take your pulse for the emperor." Tian Ergeng's tone was a little anxious.
"There is nothing to be prepared. If things are urgent, then go now!" Brand also wanted to get this done earlier. The longer it delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for the treatment.
"Okay! I will appreciate the Taoist priest's decisive style." Tian Ergeng praised, and immediately took Brand into the palace to meet Wei Zhongxian. As for Zhen Zidan, the subsequent matter had nothing to do with him.
Now Emperor Tianqi's health is getting worse and worse, Wei Zhongxian is very anxious. He basically guards outside the emperor's bedroom and sends heavy troops to guard it.
It was already two hours later when Brand met Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian's first words when he saw Brand were: "Can you really cure the emperor?"
"I can only say that I have a good grasp of it. I have to take the pulse to know it." Brand said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Just taking the pulse, Wei Zhongxian didn't doubt that he was there. He accompanied Brand into the emperor's bedroom with Tian Ergeng.
"Master, please!" Wei Zhongxian's tone was a little warning. If Brand showed a little humility and perfunctory, it would definitely be the end of being beheaded.
Brand walked to the emperor's bed and looked at the skinny Emperor Tianqi, and couldn't help but feel moved. Even if he was born in an imperial family? So what if he got the world? If he was not strong enough, he would be restricted everywhere. Just like Emperor Tianqi, he was simply a toy for the eunuch party and the Donglin party.
Brand took the emperor's pulse and turned on the scanning and analysis function of the watch. Not only did he obtain the emperor's detailed physical data, but he also instantly released several treatment plans.
"How is it? Can it be cured?" Wei Zhongxian saw Brand get up and immediately stepped forward and asked.
Brand nodded, Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng were both overjoyed and immediately asked for treatment plans.
Brand said calmly: "Master, although the emperor's illness can be cured, it requires several prerequisites. First, please block the news temporarily and assist me in getting medicine at the Imperial Hospital; Second, except for the three of us, the fourth person cannot let the fourth person know that I can cure the emperor's illness; Third, the emperor is not only sick, but also suffered from chronic poisons, so all the emperor's food in the future must be identified by me; Fourth, I need to live in the palace and not let others discover it."
Brand said four conditions in one breath, which did not allow him to be careless. After all, his strength is still very weak now, and it is possible that the two good players among the Jinyiwei can defeat him.
Wei Zhongxian was silent for a moment, then agreed to Brand's request. He said to Tian Ergeng: "You should take the Taoist priest to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine first to meet all the Taoist priest's request."
"Yes, factory."
The two had Wei Zhongxian's waist card, and the medicine was taken very smoothly. In addition to taking the medicine as the emperor's medicinal materials for treating diseases and refining elixirs, Brand also took out a few medicinal materials that had been nearly five hundred years old. After refining these precious medicinal materials into pills, his physical fitness can be improved a lot.
After taking the medicine, Tian Ergeng arranged Brand in a room next to the emperor's bedroom, and found an alchemy furnace for him, and arranged a whole team of Jinyiwei to protect and monitor him.
After Brand refined the pill, he met Wei Zhongxian again under the leadership of the Jinyiwei.
"Master Taoist, how long does it take to cure the emperor?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
"About twenty days." The watch gives time to get out of bed in ten days, but Brand doubled the time to be on the safe side.
"Take it seriously?" Wei Zhongxian was a little disbelief. The illness came like a mountain of falling down, and the illness was like a thread being pulled. He would be grateful if he had a serious illness like the emperor who could get out of bed within two months.
"I will never dare to deceive the factory." Brand said confidently.
"Okay, I'll go to treat the emperor right now." Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, glanced at Brand's Taoist robe and continued: "You change this Taoist robe first, and I'll send you a set of Jinyiwei's clothing."
Soon, an Jinyiwei sent Brand a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring sword to him. Brand disguised himself as Jinyiwei and came to the emperor's bedroom with Wei Zhongxian.
"Man, I need needles and spells for the first time to rescue me, and I must keep it absolutely quiet. If there is a little noise that makes me distracted, the emperor may be in danger of his life." Brand said solemnly.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Brand deeply and said, "Don't worry, even a mosquito will not be put in. However, if the emperor had a few long and two shorts, I would definitely tear you into pieces."
"Don't worry, the factory owner, I will never joke about my own life." Brand asked this because he wanted to take the opportunity to hypnotize the emperor. Now the emperor is very weak, which is a good opportunity for hypnosis. The weaker the emperor's mental power, the better the hypnosis effect will be.
After everyone went out, Brand took out the refined pills, integrated them into warm water, and fed them to the emperor. Then he used the hypnotic skills while the emperor was confused.
