The Prince's East Palace is extremely empty. A long green curtain hangs down, dividing the hall into two parts, the front and the back. In the front hall, rows of palace ladies are waiting with their heads lowered and their hands solemn. They look uneasy and very uneasy.
Their fingers were twisted together until they turned white.
I don’t know which wave of people this is, they have been transferred from various palaces to serve. Everyone understands that their lives are tightly tied to the one in the East Palace. If something happens to that one, they will not escape death.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
boom!
When Chen Shaojun stepped into the palace, it was like a stone falling into a lake causing ripples. In an instant, everyone looked over, and their eyes fell on Chen Shaojun.
Cold and depressing!
It was also accompanied by a strong smell of death.
This was Chen Shaojun's first feeling when he stepped into the East Palace. Immediately, Chen Shaojun smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
Before and after, countless people entered the palace to boil medicine and treat the crown prince's illness, so that every inch of the air here exuded the fragrance of medicine. Unfortunately, these people all failed.
"Okay, come in."
At this moment, deep in the East Palace, behind the long curtain that fell like a waterfall, an old and majestic voice came.
When we arrived here, it was already an important part of the palace. Neither Qing Yanyong nor the eunuch in brocade clothes who led the way was qualified to enter here.
Chen Shaojun took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and walked in.
Unlike the outer hall, the inner hall is quiet.
The crown prince is the head of the princes. This is the first time that Chen Shaojun has stepped into the center of the storm since the incident.
When he set foot here, the first thing Chen Shaojun saw was three dragon-patterned incense burners arranged in a row, about four feet high. The incense smoke curled up, exuding a faint fragrance like musk and orchid, which penetrated the heart and spleen. Obviously, this
It is the top medicinal fragrance used to treat the crown prince's illness.
Further forward, Chen Shaojun saw a dark gold python couch. Lying on the python couch was a young man in his mid-twenties. He was wearing a python robe, his face was pale, and his breath was vague, as if he was dead.
However, even so, Chen Shaojun could feel that the person on the python bed was majestic, and even in a coma, he still had a light and natural majesty.
Looking aside, Chen Shaojun saw a stack of memorials on the dragon-shaped table beside him. Several of the volumes were open and had seals stamped on them. They had obviously been read.
The memorial records all major military and national events. Taking a peek at the memorial is a capital offense and is extremely taboo. The fact that the young man was able to obtain the right to read the memorial shows how special it is.
Looking back, Chen Shaojun saw three swords hanging on the wall, one green, one indigo and one purple, with different shapes and styles. It was obvious that they were not ordinary swords.
It's just that the three swords were stored in a high cabinet, having not been used for a long time.
And judging from the dust on the three swords, the owner of the swords obviously did not practice very diligently. The decorative meaning of these swords is far greater than the actual function.
Looking down, Chen Shaojun saw rows of bookshelves next to the sword, filled with many books, occupying most of the space in the entire hall.
Chen Shaojun took a closer look and vaguely identified some books, including "Pingtian Policy", "State Governance Strategies", "Book of Rites", "Shang History"..., which were all related to governing the country.
The corners of these books were turned up, showing that they had been read over and over again.
The great prince of Shang Dynasty!
In the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through Chen Shaojun's mind, and his heart became clear.
The person in front of me is obviously the source of all the storms.
Looking at the young man on the bed, Chen Shaojun felt ripples in his heart.
The Crown Prince has a distinguished status and is aloof. Even if Chen Shaojun is the son of the Minister of Household Affairs, it is difficult to get in touch with him. However, despite this, Chen Shaojun knows more or less about the Prince of the East Palace.
There are many princes in Dashang, but this Prince of the East Palace is different from everyone else.
As the head of all princes, this one does not have the arrogance of ordinary princes. Instead, he is benevolent, courteous, courteous and courteous, so the entire East Palace, from the guards to the maids, loves him very much.
——It was definitely not the Crown Prince’s intention to be so involved this time.
In addition, the crown prince worked hard to govern, was diligent and studious, and ordinary princes practiced diligently and preferred strong power and force, but Dong Gong liked to care about the sufferings of the people, and his reputation among the people was extremely high.
However, hearing is deceiving and seeing is believing. Chen Shaojun originally thought that these rumors were somewhat untrue, and maybe they were specially promoted for the Crown Prince, but now it seems... I am afraid that this is indeed the case.
It's just that the Crown Prince's situation looked extremely bad at this time. In his body, Chen Shaojun felt a strong power of death, and his life breath was like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
As he looked, in the wooden tub on the ground not far away, Chen Shaojun saw that the sheets he had replaced were crumpled into a ball, stained with blood, and the dark brown color was shocking.
But just for a moment, Chen Shaojun withdrew his gaze. This was not the time to think about this.
Chen Shaojun turned his eyes and quickly noticed the row of imperial doctors standing next to the cave in the crown prince's palace.
Different from the Qing Yanyong whom I met before, these imperial doctors in front of me had silver hair, majestic eyes, and they were not wearing ordinary clothes, but with python patterns.
Snakes, pythons, and dragons all belong to the dragon genus. Only people with high status can use these patterns. Obviously, the status of these imperial doctors is far higher than that of Yan Yong of the Qing Dynasty, and they are the real leaders of the imperial physicians.
The current situation of the Crown Prince is not optimistic, and there is an uneasy mood filling the entire hall.
As the leaders of the imperial physicians, these people have important responsibilities and are always on call here to take care of the crown prince.
"Little doll, where is your master?"
At this time, the leader of the imperial doctors spoke. While speaking, he looked past Chen Shaojun and looked in the direction behind him.
"Sir, there are only niches."
Chen Shaojun was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing, smiled calmly, and said calmly.
"What?"
The expressions of all the imperial doctors changed when they heard this:
"Didn't you say that this person is a miracle doctor? Why is he such a boy?"
"What ability can a little baby have? How do those people below do their jobs? Go and call Qing Yanyong over here!"
"Absurd! The Crown Prince's life is at stake for the country. He dares to make fun of such a big matter. This matter must be severely punished!"
…
All the imperial doctors were extremely angry, but Chen Shaojun was ignored by them.
To be a miracle doctor, you need to taste hundreds of herbs and understand the pharmacology, and you also need a lot of practice and hard work to achieve it. It is definitely not just a matter of reading a few books.
The young man in front of me looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most. What can such a young person learn and understand?
Even so many senior doctors in the Imperial Hospital are helpless, so how can a little kid do it?
Chen Shaojun was stunned. He knew that everyone was looking down on him because he was too young. This was not the first time he had come all the way.
"My lords, if the mountain is not high, there will be an immortal, and if the water is not deep, there will be a dragon. Although I am young, it does not mean that I do not understand medicine and cannot cure the crown prince's illness."
"If you think I am incompetent because of my young age, then why don't you see all the doctors present here to cure the crown prince?"
Chen Shaojun gave him a courtesy, neither humble nor arrogant.
As soon as he said this sentence, everyone present looked at each other and couldn't help but choke for a moment.
Although the young man in front of him is young, his sharp conversation is not as simple as everyone thinks.
"A sharp-tongued brat!"
"But even so, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have the ability to heal the crown prince!"
…
Several leaders of the imperial doctors still said with a straight face.
There is a hierarchy of skills, but Chen Shaojun did not show much humility in front of everyone, not to mention how harsh his words sounded. Although he was trying to explain, he was clearly mocking everyone's incompetence.
How could everyone give him a good look?
Moreover, this is a treatment for the future emperor. This is a serious matter, so we must be cautious!
"Haha, this should be Mr. Jia Qingjia, right?"
Chen Shaojun smiled slightly, looked at one of the imperial physician leaders who was most hostile to him, and suddenly said:
"If I were you, I would never stand so close!"
"What's the meaning?"
Jia Qing, Zuo Cheng of Taiyuan Hospital, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this.
Imperial doctor is also called "imperial doctor". The word "imperial" represents the status in the palace. How dare this kid threaten him in public?
What a courage!
Chen Shaojun shook his head when he saw this:
"Lord Jia, you have misunderstood. During this period of time, you have been serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace. You must have food, clothing, food and clothing for a long time, right? If my judgment is correct, is there a silver thread on your body, starting from the left hand?
The Yang Vein extends all the way to Fengchi Point and Tianzhuxiang Point on the back of the neck.”
"It should have been gray at the beginning, but in the past few days, it has turned into silver gray, and every day at Wu time, half of the body starts to feel numb, the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, and the Mingmen point on the back of the waist feel like needles.
Unable to get up, and even more dizzy and comatose."
"If I guessed correctly, the other adults should have more or less similar symptoms, right?"
At the end of his speech, Chen Shaojun glanced at several other imperial physician leaders intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Shaojun said these words calmly and calmly, but the expressions of Imperial Physician Jia and several other imperial physicians who were caught by Chen Shaojun suddenly changed.
"how do you know?!"
Jia Qing had a ghostly expression on his face. He did notice something was wrong with his body during this period, but he only thought it was caused by fatigue. He never expected that there was something else going on.
What was even more unexpected was that other people had similar symptoms to him.
"Haha, Mr. Jia, you don't think that the crown prince's illness is really just a derangement, do you?"
Chen Shaojun said meaningfully:
"The crown prince's disease is contagious. If I were you, I would warn others early not to get close to the crown prince unless necessary."
"Wow!"
As soon as Chen Shaojun's voice fell, the hall suddenly became chaotic. One by one, the serving maids retreated in panic like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Even the eunuchs in brocade clothes and the Crown Prince of the East Palace and other people on the bed showed nervous and scrupulous expressions.
