Chapter 290: Brother Xiang, the emperor is asking you a question, why don’t you reply quickly?
At this moment, a petite eunuch hurriedly led a young boy carrying a medicine box into the palace.
As soon as the young man entered the door, his eyes eagerly searched for Yunhai's figure. An ecstatic smile immediately broke out on his face and he shouted loudly: "Grandpa!" The person who came was Yunxiang.
The voice had already arrived before the others had fully stepped into the palace, and the joy was beyond words.
Yun Hai looked over and frowned when he saw Yun Xiang. "Brother Xiang, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at the Cheng Mansion and wait for Grandpa to come back?"
Yunxiang walked quickly to Yunhai, gently handed the medicine box in his hand to him, and then explained: "Grandpa, when Grandpa Xiao Fuzi went to get the medicine box for you just now, my grandson was really worried about leaving the medicine box in the care of others, and I was afraid that something might go wrong and delay your medication, so I followed him." After saying that, he raised his head, and his clear, bright eyes looked at Yunhai with concern.
Yunhai felt warm at heart after hearing these words, and he reached out and gently stroked Yunxiang's head to show his approval. Then, he turned to look at Yunxiang and reminded him, "Brother Xiang, don't just talk to Grandpa, come over and kowtow to the emperor."
After Yunhai said this, Yunxiang noticed that there was another person sitting in the palace, drinking tea leisurely.
Although he had never seen the emperor's true appearance with his own eyes, he could tell his noble status from his temperament and the bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns that he wore.
So he quickly turned around, knelt down, faced the emperor, kowtowed respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "I, Yunxiang, pay my respects to the emperor. May our emperor live long and long!"
After completing these actions, Yun Xiang thought to himself that there should be nothing wrong with his greetings and formalities, after all, these were roughly the scenes he saw in operas every day.
The emperor smiled slightly when he saw this, put down the teacup in his hand, and waved his hand, "Stand up! Since you are here with your grandfather, you can stay in the palace today."
Yun Xiang looked at Yun Hai with suspicion, wondering what had happened. Yun Hai frowned and urged in a low voice: "Brother Xiang, the emperor is asking questions, why don't you answer quickly?"
Hearing this, Yun Xiang's heart suddenly tightened, and a chill instantly rose from his spine. He replied tremblingly: "Yes... I obey your command."
At this time, Yunhai hurriedly apologized to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This child has always lived in the countryside and has never experienced such a scene, so he was a little out of control. If I was impolite, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me and bear with me."
The emperor smiled slightly and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay: "Never mind, no need to be nervous, just practice more in the future. Stand up!"
After that, the emperor turned his gaze to Yun Hai again: "Doctor Yun, I have ordered people to arrange accommodation for you and your grandson. The affairs here are fully handed over to you."
Yun Hai thanked him warmly: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor continued to instruct: "Doctor Shi, your grandson is quite clever and well-behaved. Let him follow Doctor Yun and help him out for the next two days. If you need any medicine, you can ask Shi Yan to take you to the Imperial Pharmacy to get it."
Shi Yan was so excited when he heard this that he immediately thanked the emperor: "Thank you for your trust. I will do my best to take good care of Doctor Yun and will never slack off!"
Then, the emperor turned his head and looked at the small table beside him, and ordered: "Little table, for the time being, you will also follow Doctor Yun and obey his orders."
The little table hurriedly bowed and saluted, and respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, I will obey your command!"
"Father-in-law, it's getting late. Let's set off and return to the imperial study."
Cheng Zhiyuan nodded gently, stood up and bowed respectfully to let the emperor go first: "Your Majesty, please."
At this moment, Eunuch Lai Fu, who was standing nearby, shouted loudly: "The emperor is setting up the imperial study..." His voice was loud and clear, and instantly spread throughout the palace.
Hearing this shout, everyone present did not dare to neglect it. They bowed and saluted, shouting in unison: "Farewell to the Emperor..."
After the emperor left, Xiao Zhuozi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Hai three times, "Thank you, Doctor Yun, for saving Xiao Quanzi.
Get up from the small table, quickly get up. I am a doctor and curing illnesses and saving lives is my job. There is no need to perform such a great ceremony.
"Doctor Yun, your acupuncture skills are truly superb. I admire you very much." Doctor Shi was impressed by Yun Hai's acupuncture. Originally, he looked down on this country doctor.
Doctor Liu was not good at acupuncture, but he was very interested in Yun Hai's prescription: "Doctor Yun, the rhubarb and peony soup you prescribed is really wonderful! It is more incisive than the traditional rhubarb prescription."
"Thank you for your praise, Imperial Physicians. This is exactly the disease I am good at. If I encounter other cases, I may have to consult you two Imperial Physicians."
"Doctor Yun, are you still accepting disciples? I want to learn acupuncture from you." Shi Yan looked at Yun Hai expectantly and said.
Shi Yan asked what was on his mind, and Doctor Shi also looked at Yun Hai expectantly: "Doctor Yun, this kid has good aptitude and likes acupuncture. Even I only know a little bit about it, and there is really too little to teach him. If Doctor Yun is willing to accept an apprentice, my Shi family will definitely prepare a generous apprentice for him."
Yun Hai humbly refused: "Dr. Shi, you are really too kind to me! There is no need for me to become your disciple, but if you have any questions about medicine in the future, you can always come and ask me. After all, once you learn the art of curing diseases and saving lives, you can save many lives, which is a meritorious act!"
"Doctor Yun is truly righteous!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
You have to know that in this era, medical skills are often inherited from family members. Every family regards their own unique skills as precious as treasures and will never pass them on to others easily.
Shi Yan originally just wanted to give it a try, so he bravely asked Doctor Yun about the relevant matters. After all, the probability of success of such a thing was very small.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Dr. Yun responded to him so generously, saying that he could ask any questions he wanted without any reservations.
The pain has been relieved for now. Let Xiao Quanzi get some sleep. Shi Yan, can you take me to the Imperial Pharmacy? I need to go there to get some medicine for the Empress Dowager to treat her eye disease.
We are also going to the Imperial Hospital, so let's go together. When we get there, Shi Yan will take you to the Imperial Pharmacy.
"Doctor Yun, please come this way."
"Little table, stay here and take care of it. If there is anything, send someone to call me from the Imperial Pharmacy."
"Okay, Doctor Yun."
"Brother Xiang, take Grandpa's medicine box and let's go to the Imperial Pharmacy."
Yunxiang slung Yunhai's medicine box across his body like a treasure.
Yunhai and the two princes walked in front and discussed medical skills with each other, while Shiyan and Yunxiang followed behind the three of them, talking in low voices.
"Hello, my name is Shi Yan, and I'm the grandson of Doctor Shi. Are you the grandson of Doctor Yun?"
"Hello, my name is Yunxiang. Doctor Yun is my great-grandfather, and I am his great-nephew."
"Yunxiang, your great grandfather's acupuncture skills are really amazing. Have you learned them all?"
"I have only been studying for a short time and have not yet started learning acupuncture."
……
The two young men also had a great conversation.
Yunhai prescribed an external medicine for the empress dowager in the imperial pharmacy, and then hurriedly entered the space under the pretext of going to the toilet, took out a bottle of universal eye drops and changed the packaging.
He also took a box of special medicine for treating appendicitis. Because he was afraid of being discovered in the palace, he left without even leaving a message for Yun Duo.
In the evening, Yunhai gave Xiao Quanzi another acupuncture treatment, and secretly put the special medicine for treating appendicitis into the boiled medicine and gave it to Xiao Quanzi to drink.
It happened that he was in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, so he simply gave the Empress Dowager acupuncture for her cataracts, so that she could recover faster.
At night, Xiao Quanzi did not fall ill again, and the Yunhai grandfather and grandson slept soundly in the palace.
He planned to observe for another day and give the Queen Mother and Xiao Quanzi two more acupuncture treatments. If everything was fine, he would leave the palace.
