The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 391 The Comatose Emperor

Li Mo was called back on his way to the shop.

As soon as he heard that Ye Xinran had someone calling him, he immediately changed direction and ran towards the Lu family.

"I knew you were coming back yesterday, and I was waiting at the city gate to welcome you in.

Who knew that you and Huai'an would perform such a loving couple act in front of everyone, so I thought I wouldn't disturb you for now, and I will come over when you have had enough of each other and remember me.

Let me tell you, during the time you were in Northern Frontier, I did something big, and Madam Lu must have told you about it..."

Li Mo started talking nonstop since he entered the yard. When he saw Ye Xinran, he was shocked by her outfit;

"What are you wearing?"

I saw that Ye Xinran was already wearing a blue double-breasted robe, with her hair tied into a bun and her hair wrapped in a blue scarf.

She looks just like a pretty and well-behaved little medicine boy.

"Medicine boy, I am your little medicine boy today."

Ye Xinran said.

"What's going on?"

Li Mo blinked in confusion

"You asked me to come here today, didn't you want to ask about the store?"

"No!" Ye Xinran looked at him, "Did you bring your medicine box?"

"not yet!"

I came here halfway, and when I heard that you wanted me to bring the first aid kit, I asked Xiao Si to go back and get it.

Not yet.

There's nothing special in my medicine box. I can buy whatever you need. Besides, what exactly are we going to do today?"

"Forget it, if you didn't bring it, then forget it!" Ye Xinran was a little anxious, "You take mine first, we'll leave for the military camp right away!"

"Prince Rui is injured?"

When he heard about going to the military camp, Li Mo immediately responded, "Is it serious? My Yue Ting doesn't know yet, should we ask someone to tell her?"

"No, King Rui, come with me first, I'll tell you on the way!"

Ye Xinran handed the medicine box to Li Mo, then walked out of the yard. The two of them got on the carriage and headed for the military camp.

On the way, Ye Xinran briefly described what had happened, and Li Mo finally understood.

"So that's how it is. The Emperor's illness is probably not simple, right?"

"It's nothing if it's a common illness, but I'm afraid someone has done something to deliberately frame King Rui."

This is what Ye Xinran is most worried about.

When the two men arrived outside the military camp, they saw the eunuch that Ding Qiao had mentioned, kneeling outside the main gate of the camp. Several lieutenants and clerks were trying to persuade him, but he seemed to be in a trance and did not move at all.

"It seems that King Rui hasn't come back yet?"

Ding Qiao asked Zhang Qian, the coachman, to go up and ask.

Soon, we got the news, "It is said that King Rui is still in the mountains. According to the previous rules, he will be back in half an hour."

"Let's go in from the back. I'll go to King Rui's tent and wait for him."

Ye Xinran said this, got off the carriage, and went around to the side door of the military camp with Zhang Qian.

The guard at the gate not only knew Zhang Qian, but also recognized Ye Xinran.

Seeing the two people coming, the guard quickly asked: "Miss Lu, what are you doing here today?"

"I need to talk to King Rui about something. I'll go to his tent and wait for him."

Ye Xinran and Zhang Qian walked in.

In the military camp, most people are training according to the routine.

Some of those who were taking a break were also discussing the eunuch outside in private.

"What happened to that guy?"

"That's right. They have to let Prince Rui come to the palace. If Prince Rui doesn't go, will they not give the emperor medicine?"

"What if the disease is delayed?"

"Shh!"

"Don't ever say such unlucky words. If someone hears you, you will be beheaded."

"Anyway, I think they have bad intentions."

"We just came back from Northern Xinjiang and encountered this kind of thing. If the prince hadn't come back, would they still go to Northern Xinjiang to bring him back?"

"Okay, stop being angry, stop being angry, and go train!"

"Hey, isn't that Miss Lu?"

"Yes, even though she's wearing men's clothes, she's so fair, she must be Miss Lu."

"Miss Lu must be here to help the prince make a decision."

"With Miss Lu here, there will definitely be no problem."

"Yes, Miss Lu is very capable, there will definitely be no problem."

"Okay, it's time, let's train!"

A group of people stood up and returned to the training ground. The brave ones took the initiative to greet Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran and Zhang Qian entered King Rui's tent.

Half an hour later, the sound of deafening footsteps was heard in the camp.

When Ye Xinran went out, she saw a team of men in heavy armor running in.

The leader stopped and took off his helmet, revealing King Rui's face.

The deputy general hurried forward and whispered a few words to King Rui. King Rui then ordered the heavy armored soldiers to go down and rest, and followed the deputy general back to the tent.

"King Rui."

Ye Xinran took the initiative to greet.

King Rui nodded, and while putting down his helmet, he asked, "Miss Lu, what news did you hear that made you rush here?"

Ye Xin pointed at Li Mo beside him and said, "It's not just me, I also brought someone with me."

"Father-in-law!" Li Mo called out somewhat stiffly.

"Ok!"

King Rui responded reluctantly.

Ye Xinran continued, "We heard that the emperor is ill, and now he has asked Prince Rui to go to the palace to take charge of the situation. We are worried and want to go with Prince Rui to take a look."

King Rui said: "I just heard the news too. It would be great if you could go with me."

At this time, the eunuchs kneeling outside also learned the news of Prince Rui's return, and began to shout loudly: "Shu Guifei asked Prince Rui to come to the palace to preside over the situation. Prince Rui, please move!"

"Shu Guifei invites Prince Rui to come to the palace to preside over the situation. Prince Rui, please move!"

His voice became louder and louder, and the soldiers standing beside him were unable to stop him. Fortunately, King Rui came out quickly and said to him, "I didn't get any news when I went to the mountains just now. Then please lead the way, eunuch!"

The eunuch got up from the ground. He had been kneeling for too long and his blood circulation was blocked. He almost fell over.

Fortunately, King Rui was quick to act and held him up.

"Be careful, father-in-law!"

"Thank you, King Rui! This old slave is useless!"

The eunuch stood up and saw Ye Xinran and Li Mo behind Prince Rui. He couldn't help but ask, "Who are these two?"

King Rui said, "This is my son-in-law. He comes to the army to see the soldiers when he has time. He is here today. I don't know any medical skills, so I'll ask him to help me make a judgment."

"But……"

The eunuch looked at Li Mo and said hesitantly, "The emperor's body is noble and has always been treated by imperial doctors. Although this man is your son-in-law, it is not appropriate to let him participate in such a big thing, right?"

Prince Rui glanced at him sideways and said, "Eunuch, do you think it is inappropriate for a general like me who doesn't even know the medicinal herbs to make the decision on the emperor's medicine, or for a commoner like Li Mo who is proficient in medicine to help me make the decision?"

"this&……"

The eunuch hesitated to answer.

King Rui said impatiently: "His opinion represents my opinion. If anything goes wrong, of course I will bear the responsibility."

"Thank you for your hard work, King Rui!"

After hearing Prince Rui say this, the eunuch finally felt relieved.

……

The chief eunuch got in the carriage they came in, while Prince Rui and Ye Xinran each sat in their own carriage.

Three carriages rushed towards the palace at the same time.

By the time they arrived at the palace, the eunuchs and imperial doctors were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing around in the yard.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

"that is!"

"What if this delays the time?"

"Prince Rui has arrived!"

Following a sharp shout, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

King Rui, wearing armor and looking aggressive, rushed in, followed by a man who looked like a doctor and a little medicine boy.

This was Ye Xinran’s second time entering the palace.

The difference from the last time was that this time they came to the emperor's bedroom, and the number of guards was more than twice as many as last time.

The guards were all tall and strong with sharp eyes. When they saw Prince Rui was about to take the two of them to the bedroom, they immediately stopped Li Mo and Ye Xinran.

"This is the doctor I brought with him and his medicine boy."

King Rui explained.

"Open the medicine box."

Although the guard knew King Rui, he still had to conduct all the necessary inspections.

Li Mo put the medicine box on the ground, opened the lid, and saw a pile of small jars neatly arranged inside.

"What's in here?"

"What's in here is..."

Li Mo had no idea what it was, but when the other party asked, he decided to bite the bullet and make up a few names for the medicine.

"It's wolfberry, hawthorn, tuckahoe and yam, and some pills for clearing away heat and detoxifying."

Ye Xinran squatted down and took the initiative to help Li Mo.

As she spoke, she picked up a jar and held it under the guard's nose for him to smell.

The foul smell almost made the guard pass out.

"What is this?"

The guard put his hand on the knife handle at his waist, and Ye Xinran quickly explained: "This is black armor juice for refreshing the mind. Do you feel that your mind is much clearer after smelling it?"

After Ye Xinran asked this, the guard felt much more clear-headed.

He said to the doctor behind him: "Doctor Li, come and take a look!"

Doctor Li immediately stepped forward and checked all the jars in the medicine box, then nodded: "They are indeed all top-quality medicinal materials!"

"Then go in, King Rui, I'm so sorry for the offense!"

"Wait!"

Just as Prince Rui was about to continue walking inside, a powerful voice rang out.

Ye Xinran turned around and saw an old man with a slightly purple face.

He bowed to Prince Rui and said, "Your Majesty's bedroom, Prince Rui has no problem coming in and out, but these two are just ordinary people, I'm afraid they will affect the health of the emperor."

Prince Rui raised his eyelids, looked at the person who was speaking, and said, "What's the logic behind this, Imperial Physician Huo? Everyone has two eyes and one mouth. Does Imperial Physician Huo think that he is superior to others just because he is an imperial physician?

The emperor is in poor health right now. Anyone who can help him take care of his health and prescribe good medicine is a good doctor!"

"Does Prince Rui mean that the doctors in our Imperial Hospital are incompetent and can't prescribe a good prescription?"

Huo Qiming looked unhappy.

King Rui sneered, "If you have that ability, why do you let me take charge of the situation?

As an imperial physician, even matters like prescribing medicines need others to decide. What's the point of the emperor raising you for so many years!"

Prince Rui's words were very impolite, and Huo Qiming's purple face turned pale in an instant.

An imperial physician nearby couldn't bear to see this and said, "Although Prince Rui is trusted by the emperor, I am also fortunate to know this person next to you. Isn't this your son-in-law who opened a pharmacy in another place?

Even if Prince Rui wants to help his family, he has to choose the right time. Now the emperor's health is the most important thing."

"What's your name, imperial physician?"

Ye Xinran felt annoyed after hearing this and asked.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, "My last name is Gou."

"Oh! It's Doctor Gou, no wonder he keeps barking like a dog!"

"you!"

The imperial physician surnamed Gou was so angry that his face turned red. "You are just a little medicine boy, how can you have the right to speak here?"

"Even dogs have a chance to speak, so why can't I?"

"Xinran!"

King Rui smiled as he heard this and called Ye Xinran, "Didn't your master teach you? When you are out in public, don't argue with fools. Let's go."

"Yes!"

Ye Xinran lowered her head, acted obediently, and followed Prince Rui into the bedroom.

The doors and windows of the bedroom were tightly closed, and a strong scent of agarwood was burning in the room. As soon as Ye Xinran entered the room, she couldn't help but cover her nose.

Several eunuchs and palace maids were standing in the corner of the bedroom. When they saw Prince Rui come in, they just bowed and didn't dare to speak.

"The emperor spat out blood and fainted when he saw the letter that the third prince had an affair with the barbarians."

King Rui introduced the situation he knew.

"I thought he would wake up soon after the doctor gave him medicine, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

"Let's see what's going on first!"

After Ye Xinran finished speaking, she and Li Mo walked forward and came to the side of the bed.

The serving maid quickly lifted a corner of the bed curtain and pulled the emperor's hand out.

Li Mo took out the pulse pillow and placed his hand on the emperor's pulse. After a long time, he shook his head at Ye Xinran.

"Sometimes it floats, sometimes it sinks, and its pulse is weak and slippery. You try it."

"Yes!"

Ye Xinran agreed and then stepped forward to take the emperor's pulse.

Just as Li Mo said, the emperor's pulse was very unstable, and it was a bit contradictory to have such a pulse on one person.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely find it strange.

But Ye Xinran had only one thought in her mind at this moment, that is: this kind of pulse is so familiar!

She had been in a situation very similar to this!

Who is coming?

Ye Xinran searched in her mind, and after a while, she suddenly remembered.

Isn’t this exactly the same as Leng Qingyu’s situation back then?

This is how Leng Qingyu's pulse beat when he fell ill in Yunbian Village.

Is it...

Ye Xinran had a bold guess.

The emperor's sudden coma was not just due to anger.

More likely, it's because of a toxic attack in the body.

"I need some blood to verify it."

Since this concerns the emperor's health, Ye Xinran did not dare to be careless and decided to do a blood test to confirm it first.

However, there are so many eyes watching in the bedroom now. If they see me drawing a tube of blood from the emperor's arm, will they accuse me of insubordination?

So she confirmed her thoughts with King Rui first.

King Rui nodded, knowing that Ye Xinran must have discovered something when she wanted to draw blood.

So he ordered several eunuchs and palace maids: "You guys, put out the incense first, and go get some incense with a lighter scent."
