Chapter 242 Xu Baoyi offers medicine, Qingxin Pill

Unexpected situation!

In the battle of Baoding Prefecture, Wang Chuanwu defended the East Gate to the death. Unfortunately, he was hit by stray arrows and injured the inside of his right thigh.

Later, he was examined by Dr. Kong Dechun, a famous doctor in Baoding Prefecture, who concluded that his life was not in danger, but he had a leg injury and ulcer, and it might be difficult for him to march with the team for a month or so!

For this reason, Xiao Jingchuan rode his horse to visit him specially, and comforted him, asking Chuanwu to rest and recuperate!
But, as the saying goes, if you suppress one problem, another will arise!

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly!

Just as Chang Ting and Chuanwu's injuries were healed one by one, Xiao Jingchuan had not even had time to take a cup of tea when another report of a soldier's death came!

"Report——"

"Report!"

"General!"

"Mr. Qiu is at the Governor's Office on Main Street in the city. He has sent his subordinates here to tell you!"

"The prince's cough has relapsed and his high fever is difficult to reduce. I hope the general can come quickly to discuss a solution!" The messenger reported urgently.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan sighed lightly, his brows furrowed, and he immediately tilted his head and spoke.

"Old Huang!"

"As for Chuanwu, please take care of it first!"

"The prince is ill, so we need to hurry and won't stay here any longer!" Xiao Lang continued.

"Oh, oh!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"General, please go and take care of your business for now. I will take care of the commander here. When Doctor Kong is free, he will prescribe some medicine and you just need to take the medicine according to the prescription!" Old Huang, a personal soldier of Chuanwu, replied.

"OK!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Lang hurried to the Governor's Office to take a look.

But when he took a few steps forward, he suddenly felt that Kong Dechun behind him seemed to have stopped where he was and could not follow him.

So he hurriedly turned around to look for him.

"Eh?!"

"Kong, Doctor Kong?"

"You, what are you doing?"

"Go!"

"My Lord, please wait!"

Xiao Lang asked anxiously, but when he saw Kong Dechun at that moment, he was terrified and panic-stricken.

Speaking of this old man, he is really interesting!
He must have heard that he was going to diagnose the prince, and all of a sudden he forgot all about it. He hesitated and stammered, and refused to go with him.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"How can this be done?"

"To diagnose the illness of the Crown Prince of the East Palace, this... this old man, how can I have such good fortune!"

"No, this is not possible!" Kong Dechun shook his head and was instantly panic-stricken.

"oops!"

"Dr. Kong, why can others treat this disease, but why can't you, the prince?!"

"Within the hundreds of miles of Baoding City, your medical skills are second to none!"

"At this critical moment, if you don't step forward and save the Crown Prince from danger, who else can take on this responsibility?!"

"The prince's old illness is getting worse, so please don't delay any longer!"

"Hurry! Let's go quickly!" Xiao Lang persuaded.

"Hey, hey, this, this, this, what are you talking about!" "I, I am not prepared!"

“Even if I want to go, I can’t just barge in like this, right?!”

"I've been working so hard these days, I stink of sweat!"

"When you get close to the prince, you will offend the emperor again!"

"It's a sin! That's a huge sin!"

"That's it, General!"

"You can take me home first, take a shower and change clothes, and get everything ready, and then I will go. What do you think?!"

Kong Dechun is pedantic and old-fashioned, with a rigid mind. He is unable to understand the current situation where people have to make decisions based on their own wishes. He just blindly abides by the customs and etiquette between the monarch and the people.

Xiao Jingchuan let out a long sigh. Looking at the old man's behavior, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade him for the time being, so he suddenly glanced around!
The two people beside him, Sang Men Xing and Liu Erye, immediately understood what he meant, rushed forward, and lifted Kong Dechun up with their left and right hands.

"Hey! You, you guys, what are you doing!" Kong Dechun was shocked and thrashed around in vain but couldn't touch the ground.

"Haha, Doctor Kong, please bear with me!"

"You just heard it. The prince is in a very urgent situation. You don't need to follow those conventional etiquettes!"

"Xiao Ke, I'm sorry!"

"Unfortunate Star, Master Liu, let's go!"

"Bring Doctor Kong, get on the horse quickly!"

"Let's go to the Governor's Office right away!"

Xiao Lang was unable to persuade them, so he took action directly. The group of four or five people did not stop, but mounted their horses and headed for the city center!

Time flies, and a day goes by in a flash!
Time goes to the next night!

On the ninth day of May, around the evening of Xu time!

Since Kong Dechun came to take the prince's pulse and wrote a prescription, the prince has taken three or four doses of medicine in a row, but his condition has not improved. He coughs and wheezes frequently, and his high fever recurs intermittently, which really worries everyone.

Xiao Lang and Zhizhong stayed in the front hall of the Governor's Office for several days, unable to rest all night, and did not dare to be negligent.

It was around 20: p.m. on the ninth day of the lunar calendar.

This little old man named Kong, it seems like he can't hold it anymore!

He looked at the medical skills he had acquired for most of his life and found that there was no solution at all. The loss of face and reputation were the least of his worries. The most important thing was that this person was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Due to his conservative and pedantic idea, he was afraid that one careless move would bring disaster to his family, so for a while, Kong Dechun could not care about so many things!

He suddenly thought of an idea, so he hurried from the backyard to the front hall, found Xiao Jingchuan, and told him everything in a hurry.

Let’s talk about Mr. Xu from Baoding. In Xu Baoyi’s home, there was once a life-saving medicine called Qingxin Pill.

This medicine was a secret recipe passed down in the family, and he remembered that Old Master Xu from Xu Baoyi's family had suffered from a headache and a high fever a few years ago, and no medicine was effective, so he took this pill!
I heard that this medicine is very effective. I think his old grandfather, who is in his eighties, can extend his life by two years with this small pill.

Now that the prince is young and strong, he may be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!

Hearing this, Xiao Lang pondered for a while, and after Kong Dechun left, he discussed the matter with Zhizhong again.

After weighing the pros and cons, they all felt that this was not a solution as the prince had been suffering from a high fever for a long time. Since ordinary medicine was incurable, it would be better to give it a try. Who knows, there might be a solution.

Afterwards, having decided on this plan, Xiao Lang immediately summoned Xu Baoyi to come and talk to him, and asked for it politely, using the name of the crown prince in an attempt to get it.

Xu Baoyi was originally a kind and generous person. When he heard that the prince was asking for medicine, he knew the current situation very well. So he spoke frankly without any hesitation and said that he would get it for him when he got home.

However, he said that there were only two pills of Qingxin Pill left in his family, and as for the secret recipe, it had long been lost.

When Xiao Lang and Zhi Zhong heard this, they both felt that it was nothing serious.

Regardless of whether Xu Baoyi's statement is true or false, in fact, it has nothing to do with the current situation.

Regardless of whether the prince's illness can be cured, one pill is enough. As for the so-called secret method, Xiao and Qiu have no intention of coveting it!
So, there is no problem for both parties!

Xu Baoyi rushed home to get medicine urgently!
In a moment, he was back!

Xu Baoyi in front of the medicine hall!
