The prince glanced out towards the palace gate, except for a few eunuchs watching the palace gate, and Xu Yan and ……
Wait ……
“Tai Fu.”
Xu Yan nodded.
The subordinate who had carried him over went to wait by the carriage, and it was Xiao Si who was holding him up.
The prince looked at Doctor Yao and pursed his lips, “This is not a good place to talk, can the divine doctor follow me in?”
Without hesitation, Doctor Yao lifted his foot and went in, bringing the divine doctor’s aura to the forefront.
Seeing him like this, the prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let Xu Yan go in as well, when Xu Yan spoke first, “I will not go into the palace, I will wait in the carriage, just send someone out to tell me if there is any news.”
Considering his leg, the prince did not force him, and ordered the eunuchs guarding the palace gate to carry the man back to the carriage, while he led Doctor Yao to the Hall of Nurtured Heart and told him everything about the emperor’s situation.
Doctor Yao stroked his beard and pondered for a long time before saying, “In His Majesty’s condition today, I can only do my best to wake him up, as for the rest ……”
Doctor Yao shook his head.
The prince was already overjoyed, “As long as you can make father wake up, ten thousand taels of gold I will personally present.”
“That’s fine ……”
Doctor Yao got up, “Please take me there, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
The prince led the way to the emperor’s bedchamber.
It had been several days, but His Majesty had not shown the slightest sign of waking up, not only the courtier, but also the other eunuch doctors had all gone grey, each one looked like they had aged more than ten years, thanks to the kindness of Her Highness Consort Xian, who did not blame them too much, otherwise they would all have no face to live in this world.
When they saw the prince bring an old man over, followed by a 15 or 16 year old boy carrying a medicine chest, the eunuch doctors’ eyes fell on Dr. Yao.
Doctor Yao nodded slightly towards them and walked in with the Crown Prince.
The group of eunuch doctors looked at each other in disbelief.
“Great, my lord ……”
Huang Yuan gulped, “He, he, he ……”
Dean Zheng raised his hand to signal him not to speak, walked to the entrance of the bedchamber and looked in.
The rest of the eunuch doctors saw this and followed suit.
Inside the house, the Crown Prince was telling Consort Xiao Xian, “This is Tai Fu’s forgotten friend who has come to visit Tai Fu in the capital, and it was Tai Fu who invited him to come into the palace.”
“The herbalist has met Her Majesty.”
Grand Master Yao gave a symbolic salute as a sign of respect.
Divine doctors were all this unencumbered by red tape and etiquette.
Consort Xiao Xian was also ecstatic and gave way to her body, “Please ask the divine doctor to quickly treat His Majesty.”
Dr. Yao did not say much, and instructed Xiao Si to take out the pulse pillow, and looked around, Xiao Si understood and brought a round stool over, Dr. Yao sat down calmly, placed the Emperor’s hand on the pulse pillow, and carefully took his pulse.
He sat down calmly and placed the Emperor’s hand on the pillow, carefully taking his pulse. His bold behaviour stunned the crowd of eunuch doctors at the entrance.
As if they did not see it, Consort Xiao Xian and the Crown Prince looked at his pulse-taking hand with bated breath.
Eunuch Huang did not scold him for his rudeness either, staring closely at his every move. He did not believe that Consort Xiao Xianfei and the Crown Prince would be so kind as to invite a divine doctor to treat the Emperor; they must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have him killed.
Only after a quarter of an hour did Doctor Yao let go of his hand and look at the Crown Prince, “It is not difficult to get the Emperor to wake up ……”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the crown prince in excitement, “Is what the divine doctor said true?”
Eunuch Huang’s heart skipped a few wild beats.
The courtier even stepped into the threshold and walked quickly towards the bed.
The rest of the eunuch doctors followed him in.
“Your Highness take it easy for now, listen to what I have to say ……”
Doctor Yao stroked his beard, “His Majesty has been in a coma for a long time, his internal organs have all been affected, although he can wake up, but to what extent he can recover the straw man does not dare to guarantee.”
“It’s good to wake up, it’s good to wake up.”
The prince almost cried with joy and bowed Avray towards Doctor Yao, “Please also ask the divine doctor to help my father immediately.”
“I have not made adequate preparations today, I have to go back and prepare, and I will enter the palace tomorrow.”
The prince could not wait a moment longer, “I will have someone prepare whatever the divine doctor needs immediately.”
“Good, please ask the Crown Prince to have someone prepare pens and ink.”
Without waiting for the Crown Prince’s order, Eunuch Huang had already quickly stepped out and personally brought in pens, ink, paper and inkstones, shaking his hands and placing them on the table.
Doctor Yao walked over, lifted his pen and dipped it into the ink, and wrote a long list of herbs.
The courtier could not resist following him, with the rest of the eunuchs following close behind.
Dafu Yao seemed oblivious as he finished writing and put down his pen, “Please ask the Crown Prince to prepare as soon as possible.”
“Someone, go and prepare as soon as possible!”
The palace people were quick, and in just one tea’s time, all the herbs were ready.
“Please ask the Crown Prince to arrange a separate courtyard for me and assign me a few more people ……”
Before the words were finished, he was interrupted by the courtier eagerly, “I can help.”
Doctor Yao looked at him, “You are ……”
“I am the Yuan Zheng of the Taiyuan Hospital.”
Grand Doctor Yao nodded in understanding, “No wonder you are so thick-skinned and want to steal a lesson.”
The courtier reddened, he did want to know how the divine doctor boiled these herbs.
Doctor Yao withdrew his eyes and ignored him, “Please also ask the Prince to help me prepare.”
“Zhang Fu.”
Eunuch Zhang bowed and entered.
“Prepare a quiet courtyard for the Divine Doctor, find a few more resourceful people to help the Divine Doctor, and pass the order to Sun Qi to personally guard the courtyard, if anyone dares to come near, kill!”
The last word was so murderous that everyone in the room trembled in unison.
“Yes.”
Eunuch Zhang took a step back, as respectful as he could be, “Please, Divine Doctor.”
Doctor Yao headed out, and Xiao Si followed behind him, carrying his medicine box.
When they walked out of the house, the room was quiet for a moment.
“Huang De ……”
Eunuch Huang was still immersed in the Crown Prince’s words with a murderous intent, when he heard him shouted, his reaction was half a beat slower, “Old, old slave is here.”
“Guard Father, wait for the divine doctor to come and heal.”
Eunuch Huang’s waist bent completely, “Yes.”
……
The courtyard that the prince had had prepared was in a corner of the palace and was very quiet.
The two of them had one foot after the other, and all the herbs were delivered at the back.
Doctor Yao instructed the eunuchs sent to pound the herbs separately.
He, on the other hand, went inside and sat leisurely in a chair, picking up the teapot and pouring himself a cup of tea.
Xiao Si followed him in, closed the door and also poured himself a cup, tilted his neck and drank it all in one go, before giving a thumbs up towards Doctor Yao.
He gave him a sidelong glance, those herbs were hard to buy outside, and if he made them into pills and sold them, he could make a lot of money again.
He slowly finished his tea and poured himself another one, blew on it with his mouth, and spoke unhurriedly, “Why are you still standing there, why don’t you go and see if those people are lazy, if one of those herbs is missing, let’s go back and see what I tell the young master.”
Xiao Si bristled and muttered, “You just know how to bully me.”
“What did you say, I didn’t hear you.”
“No, nothing, I’m on my way.”
Watching him reluctantly go out, Doctor Yao blew a few more sips before finishing them in one gulp.
This side of the courtyard had been busy all night.
The following morning, just after the Crown Prince had left the morning court, Eunuch Zhang walked quickly to his side, “Your Highness, the divine doctor said it was all ready for the Emperor’s treatment.”
