The climate in Jinling is pleasant. Even if it is March 9th, the sun will be over ten degrees when it comes out.
The genial sunshine warmed her body. Just like the three women, Li Qing leaned on the recliner and was leisurely and comfortable.
The Marquis Mansion is very large, with fruit trees planted on both sides of the courtyard, two of which are the largest, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.
Li Qing put down his right leg, then put his left leg on his right leg, changed into a cross-legged position again, and sighed: "It's better to celebrate the New Year. I don't have to work, and I am just enjoying the blessings."
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid hurried over and bowed slightly, "Master, we have a visitor at home."
"Dong Liang, Duke Cao, or Commander Mao?" Li Qing took a sip of tea.
"Sir, it's the female guest from yesterday."
"puff……"
The tea sprayed out in a parabola, reflecting the sunlight and forming a rainbow shape. Li Qing said urgently, "Go tell her that I'm not at home."
The maid whispered: "Master, the female guest has entered the hospital."
"Then I'll hide..." Halfway through his words, he saw Mu Zhuoer walking towards him with her hands behind her back, jumping up and down. Li Qing sent the maid down, got up and laughed dryly, "We just got together yesterday, why did Princess Mu Zhuoer...
Are you so free?"
Mu Zhuoer asked strangely, "Didn't you say you would drink it another day?"
You are so rude... Li Qingdun was very upset, why can't this bitch understand polite words?
"Haha... Please come inside." Li Qing smiled bitterly and cursed secretly: "It's the Chinese New Year, what kind of thing is this?"
Mu Zhuoer smiled and said, "I thought about it after I got back. It's not that I can't drink you, but that I can't get used to your Han people's wine. Today I brought kumiss and let's have a showdown."
Li Qing was speechless. Is this still necessary?
After a while, four little maids came in carrying two large jars of wine, "Master, where are the wines?"
"...Let's put it in the living room!" Li Qing had no expression on his face and said in his heart: He is going to die.
The last time he and Zhu Di had an affair, he drank mare's kumiss. How can I put it, if he could, he would rather drink pot water.
He really couldn't get used to Yuan Ren's wine.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the appetizers were served, and Mu Zhuoer raised the wine bowl heroically, "Come and do it."
"..."
Li Qing held his nose and drank a bowl. The aftertaste of kumiss stimulated his taste buds, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"Come again!"
"……good."
Li Qing felt tortured even more than yesterday. Yesterday it was just psychological torture, but today it is physical and mental torture. But he still can't get rid of him. Who can he ask to reason with?
How can a woman go to a man’s house to have a drink during the Chinese New Year?
Li Qing was full of complaints but outwardly agreed.
After half an hour, he really couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't drunk, but he couldn't bear the kumiss.
"Princess Mu Zhuo'er is really powerful. I am willing to be inferior to you. I am ashamed of myself."
"You are clearly not drunk, let's continue drinking." Mu Zhuoer said dissatisfied, "Are you looking down on me?"
Li Qing's scalp was numb: Oh my God, someone come and save me!
Maybe the prayer had an effect, Hong Xiu hurried in and saluted: "Master has a visitor. The visitor is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei."
"Okay, you're welcome... Ahem, please come in quickly." Li Qing seemed to be pardoned, and was so happy that he was a little incoherent.
Hongxiu had a strange look on her face and said nonchalantly, "Master, is it... not polite to let a male guest enter the backyard?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Li Qing nodded, pretending to be deeply regretful, "Princess Mu Zhuoer, today is an unfortunate day, look at this..."
"It's okay. I'll go there with you. After meeting the guests, we'll come back and continue."
"……All right!"
~~~
forecourt.
Xu Huizu was waiting anxiously. When he saw Li Qing arriving, he quickly raised his hands and said: "Marquis Yongqing, please be polite."
"Young Master Xu, please be polite." Li Qing returned the salute with clasped fists, "I wonder, Mr. Xu...?"
Xu Huizu cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but it's actually something urgent. My father is ill. I heard that Marquis Yongqing has great medical skills, so I'd like to ask him to take a hard trip."
"Okay, please lead the way, Mr. Xu." Li Qing agreed decisively, even without Mu Zhuoer, he couldn't refuse.
After saying that, he turned back to Mu Zhuoer and said, "Sorry, I'm really busy today. Let's wait for another day, another day."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. The person in front of him didn't understand polite words!
When I thought about it again, I felt that I was overthinking it. Isn’t there something wrong with anyone going to someone else’s house to drink on New Year’s Day?
Mu Zhuoer didn't say anything, "Okay, you go about your business, I'll come back another day."
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Xu Huizu and said, "Mr. Xu, please."
"Please, Marquis Yongqing."
Outside the mansion, the carriage was ready.
As soon as the two of them got into the carriage and sat down, the driver immediately whipped his horse and galloped away.
As soon as he saw this posture, Li Qing knew that Xu Da was seriously ill this time, "Mr. Xu, what disease is Wei Guogong suffering from?"
"Back gangrene!" Xu Huizu sighed: "It's an old problem. It has been recurring and has never been cured. It had an attack in autumn. It gradually improved after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor. This attack... is more serious than the last time."
In fact, he didn't have much hope for Li Qingbao, he just wanted to try harder.
Back gangrene in this era is no different than cancer. As long as it is cured, except for the possibility of cure at the beginning, it is extremely difficult to cure.
Li Qing nodded slowly. After the New Year, it would be the 18th year of Hongwu. He vaguely remembered that Xu Da died in the 18th year of Hongwu. The reason why he remembered this was due to the film and television drama.
What was played above was that Xu Da suffered from back gangrene and was not allowed to eat meat, but Zhu Yuanzhang specially gave him roast goose. As a result, Xu Da died the next day after eating it.
He didn't understand it at the time and really thought that was what happened. But when he came to Ming Dynasty and studied under Master Zhang Sulu for ten years, he realized that this was all nonsense.
It is true that meat should be avoided in case of back gangrene, and it is true that roasted goose is a hairy food. However, eating roasted goose will only have some impact on the recovery of the disease and will not kill anyone at all.
Roast goose is just food, not poison.
Unless Zhu Yuanzhang rewards Xu Da with a lot of roast geese, which will scare Xu Da to death.
Last time, Li Wenzhong did not die from eating meat, but because he was already dying and drank too much strong alcohol.
And considering Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings for Xu Da, he would never do this.
To take a step back, even if he really wanted to kill Xu Da, he would not use roast goose, but just give him a glass of poisonous wine. It is simple and efficient, wouldn't it be better?
You know, Lao Zhu always kills people justly. To accuse Xu Daluo and then take his life, with Jin Yiwei here, it is a piece of cake.
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: Movies and TV shows are misleading!
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Wei's mansion, and the two got out of the car and hurried into the mansion.
…
In the room, Xu Da was lying on the bed, his facial muscles twitching from time to time, obviously enduring great pain. His children, wives and concubines were surrounding him in great anxiety.
Xu Huizu separated everyone and said, "Marquis Yongqing is here, please give way."
Li Qing cupped his fists and saluted, stepped forward and said, "I have met Wei Guogong."
Xu Da was listless and responded feebly, "Well, I'm sorry to bother you because of the Chinese New Year."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Li Qing smiled, took Xu Da's wrist and checked his pulse, then lifted the quilt to check the condition of his back.
Xu Da's back gangrene was already very serious. The gangrene was flat in shape, swollen at the base, dark in color, ulcerated on the skin and flesh, and filled with clear pus.
But this was just the surface. Li Qing knew that the thick pus under the skin was the root of the disease.
If you don't remove them, the gangrene will never heal.
If you want to completely remove the pus, in addition to superb medical skills, you also need extreme techniques.
Fortunately, these are not difficult problems for Li Qing, and Xu Da's condition is much better than that of Li Wenzhong. With proper treatment, recovery is not difficult.
"Is there a silver needle?"
"Yes." Xu Huizu quickly took out the needle box from the cabinet on the side, handed it to Li Qing, and asked, "Do you need clean cotton cloth too?"
In the past, when imperial doctors used acupuncture for diagnosis and treatment, Xu Huizu had some experience.
"Well, prepare more." Li Qing took it and began to disinfect it, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please avoid it for the time being."
The group of people gave Li Qing some instructions and said there would be a heavy reward for curing the disease before leaving.
After a while, Xu Huizu brought a large pile of cut cotton cloth, cupped his hands, and withdrew.
Xu Da sighed, "Hunter, do you think I still have a chance?
If not, just don’t treat it. Damn it, I can make a good meal. I’m old and suffer this. I can’t eat this or that, and there’s no point in living.”
Li Qing was a little amused when he saw his appearance, and comforted him: "Relax, my lord, the gangrene on the back is not incurable. As long as the lord cooperates with the treatment, he can recover."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Da's eyes, and he hesitated: "I don't study well, don't lie to me!"
"How dare you, a lowly official, to deceive the Duke?" Li Qing held up the silver needle and said, "Please bear with me, Duke."
"Just use whatever means you have." Xu Da didn't care. "Since I got this disease, I haven't had a good day. No matter how painful it is, how can it hurt?"
"Well...it really hurts." Xu Da's face turned red from holding back.
"Can you still bear it?"
"Mountains of swords and seas of fire are coming, this is nothing, you continue." Xu Da said firmly.
Li Qing said no more and continued to administer acupuncture.
About a quarter of an hour later, the thick water on the surface was removed. After cleaning it with cotton cloth, Xu Da breathed a long sigh of relief and murmured: "Young man, you really have two brushes. I feel much better now."
Li Qing said happily, "It's not over yet."
After a pause, he said seriously, "My lord, it will hurt even more next time!"
"Isn't it over yet?" Xu Da looked surprised, and then he felt a little hopeful, "Even if you give me the acupuncture, I can withstand it."
Li Qing nodded, put down the silver needle, mobilized his energy and started massaging.
Xu Da made a dull sound and cursed: "Damn, it really... hurts!"
Li Qing didn't answer and continued to massage. Xu Da couldn't say stop, so he could only harden.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Qing applied the needle again, and thick pus gradually emerged. Li Qing wiped and massaged it, and worked for a while before stopping.
Xu Da almost collapsed, but what followed was extreme comfort. He had not experienced this kind of comfort for a long time.
"Shutan!" Xu Da gave a thumbs up, "Young man, I really have you."
Li Qing smiled, gave some instructions, picked up the pen and paper on the table beside him and prescribed some medicine, "My lord, take the medicine on time and eat less meat and fish. It only takes ten days to completely clear the pustules, and you can nurse them for more than a month."
Recover.”
"Okay." Xu Da became energetic and said seriously: "I owe you a big favor!"
"Your Majesty is too polite." Li Qing smiled, and seeing that it was almost noon, he cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave now."
Xu Da nodded, "I won't keep you here for the Chinese New Year. I'll treat you to a drink when I'm ready."
"In that case, I'll be waiting for you then." Li Qing clasped his fists and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard shouts of long live outside the door and couldn't help but be startled.
Xu Da was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "Young man, please don't leave yet. Help me find the robes in the cabinet."
"Oh, okay." Li Qing took the robe and helped Xu Da stand up, and then Zhu Yuanzhang walked in.
"No gifts, no gifts." Before the two of them could salute, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand first, took a few steps forward, looked at Xu Da, and laughed and cursed, "I heard that you are dying, but you scared us a lot, damn."
, aren’t you very good?”
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Xu Da smiled weakly, "I was really on the verge of death, thanks to Li Qing's skill."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Qing and praised: "You're still pretty good."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Li Qing said reservedly, "What about that? Let's talk. I'll go back first."
"Don't leave in a hurry." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Go outside and wait for a while, and we'll tell you something."
Li Qing was speechless: It’s Chinese New Year, what kind of trouble is this?
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Don't look so bad, that's a good thing."
