Ever since he participated in that water exercise, the emperor began to look forward to the war life. After all, he is a man, adolescent, and full of blood. Who doesn't have a little bit of ambition to serve the country?
However, he himself also knows that the biggest obstacle now is not having a healthy body.
The emperor's surname was Xiao Mingke, and he was the twelfth child of the late emperor. Several of the previous children died young, and the remaining two children were imprisoned by the late emperor because of their struggle for power.
Only Xiao Ke was left. Although he was young and frail, he inherited the throne naturally.
It was because of this congenital shortcoming that the Queen Mother showed great care for him and finally raised him to adulthood.
However, now he keeps wanting to go outside, but his body is like a patient who needs to be supported and cared for.
Even Prime Minister Zhang started to panic. If Xiao Ke's body cannot improve, he may not be able to live long.
He began to think about finding a famous doctor to treat him, and he first thought of Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen mentioned his mentor Miao Shizhen, who was the real miracle doctor, so he brought Miao Shizhen with him.
When Xiao Ke saw Miao Shizhen, he felt like he was reunited after a long separation. When he came up, he held Miao Shizhen's hand and said, "It's been a long time since the miracle doctor!"
It turned out that when Xiao Ke was just one month old, he asked Xiao Ke to have a safe pulse. At that time, the director of Tai Hospital was Qin Xianlin. Qin Xianlin put Miao Shizhen in high regard and asked him to try out all tasks.
Miao Shizhen has found out that he has a congenital heart disease, and the disease is located on the apex of the prince's heart. It cannot be treated with acupuncture and medicine, and will be adjusted the day after tomorrow.
But later, political turmoil, border rebellions, and struggles for the throne meant that even serious illnesses could not be completely cured, let alone daily recuperation.
Without recuperation, Xiao Ke's body becomes worse and worse day by day. His limbs are weak and he has difficulty breathing. His current situation is probably better than that of a critically ill person.
After Miao Shizhen took the pulse, he took Prime Minister Zhang outside to discuss.
When Prime Minister Zhang heard this, he was even more frightened.
He was not only worried about the emperor's current situation, but what was even more terrible was that the emperor had no heirs yet. If the emperor died, the consequences would be disastrous.
Prime Minister Zhang knew that Miao Shizhen asked him to speak out because he was not completely sure. But Xiao Ke inside started to scream.
"Prime Minister Zhang, Prime Minister Zhang!"
Zhang Zailian quickly put down the teacup in his hand and ran to the back room.
The emperor saw that he must have encountered some difficulty after not coming out for so long, and he quickly asked: "I just went out to chat with the miracle doctor for a long time. What's the matter? Is it because I'm terminally ill and I don't have much time left?"
Zhang Zailian shook his head hurriedly: "Long live my emperor, the auspicious stars are shining brightly, how could it be possible..."
Xiao Ke sneered: "Humph, you know your own body. If there wasn't something unspeakable, would you hide outside secretly?"
Saying this made Prime Minister Zhang blush, and he really didn't know what to say.
When Miao Shizhen heard the movement inside, he quickly walked to the door and said, "Long live, please forgive me. It's not that I have something unspeakable that I can't express, but because..."
"Why? If you can't tell me, the whole family will be executed!" Xiao Ke pointed at Miao Shizhen angrily.
"Long live my life, I'll just tell you what I said." Miao Shizhen knelt on the ground tremblingly. Although it was a great honor to treat people on weekdays, he couldn't be proud in front of the emperor.
He hesitated and said: "Tell the truth, Lord Long Live, Lord Long Live's illness is not very serious, but it's something strange. I'm afraid..."
"So, I have a difficult and complicated disease?" The emperor stared at Miao Shizhen.
"It can't be said that for a sage, the diseases he has seen are not incurable diseases." Miao Shizhen said with a smile.
"You are both a famous doctor at Tai Hospital. Is there a better doctor than you?" Xiao Ke still looked unconvinced.
"Yes, yes, I wonder if your Majesty has heard of Qin Xianlin, the former dean of the dynasty?" Miao Shizhen replied.
His backside was already soaked. The weather was already very hot, and the emperor's condescending questioning made him sweat profusely.
Xiao Ke nodded. He had also heard about Qin Xianlin's previous unjust case. In fact, he knew the ins and outs of this matter better than anyone else.
Speaking of which, I framed Qin Xianlin, and now I want Qin Xianlin to help, I'm afraid...
Xiao Ke asked: "Where is Imperial Physician Qin now? Invite the miracle doctor quickly!"
Miao Shizhen shook his head: "Since that incident, Dean Qin has disappeared. But I know his only daughter. I wonder if the Holy Father is willing to see her?"
The emperor nodded: "What are you still waiting for? Come in quickly and meet."
So, Prime Minister Zhang immediately sent people to look for Jiang Hexi.
When Jiang Hexi was summoned to the palace for the first time, she was full of curiosity and nervousness. She was even more miserable in front of the emperor. After a long time, she said: "I am here to see the emperor."
The emperor took out his wrist and asked Jiang Hexi to feel his pulse. Jiang Hexi gently stretched out his hand and felt his pulse.
She felt an unprecedented difficulty. This was congenital heart disease. Generally, it is best for patients like this to have surgery before they are five years old. If they are over 15 years old, it does not make much sense.
However, now that the emperor is eighteen years old and has just missed the golden period for surgery, it may be even more difficult.
The emperor saw that there was no joy on Jiang Hexi's face and asked, "How is it? Is my disease really incurable?"
Jiang Hexi gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor's disease is a bit weird, but it is not completely impossible to solve. The emperor can treat it first, and when the time is right, the common people will definitely treat the emperor!"
"I want you to cure me now!" The emperor pointed at Jiang Hexi angrily: "When your father was in the palace, I didn't treat him badly. Now I ask you to see a doctor, and you just hesitate. How can you be worthy of us?"
?”
Jiang Hexi hurriedly explained: "Long live the anger, this medical treatment is not something that can be solved by just thinking. It is not to repay kindness. This medical treatment and other things must be done in a smooth manner, isn't it?"
Xiao Ke touched his chest to calm his asthma, then pointed at Jiang Hexi and said, "Listen to me. I'll give you a month to give me an answer. Then you can't cure me within a year.
I will die with you!"
If it had been anyone else, Jiang Hexi would have been scared to death.
However, as a doctor who has experienced various medical troubles in the new century, Jiang Hexi will not be easily frightened by such language. She nodded and said to Xiao Ke: "It's up to you."
