The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Lin Fan got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

Although the noise was very slight, Li Yuan and Li Chenggan woke up one after another.

"Young Master Lin".

"Brother."

Li Yuan and Li Chengqian greeted Lin Fan with smiles.

"Um, sorry, did I disturb you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Young man, you are overthinking it. I am getting old and I don't need to sleep much anyway."

"Are you hungry? I'll go out and buy you breakfast."

No sooner had Lin Fan left than Chang Le arrived at the ward with the two little princesses and Mingyue.

"Grandpa~ You're awake~ Little Xizi has come to see you~"

As soon as she entered the ward, Xiao Sizi ran to the bedside with her short legs. In the past, she would probably still be sleeping soundly at this time.

"Oh my, Sizi is here! Chang Le and Cheng Yang, please have a seat."

With Li Chengqian's help, Li Yuan slowly sat up.

"Grandpa, are you feeling better?" Chang Le and Cheng Yang stepped forward, both looking at Li Yuan with concern.

"Don't worry, Grandpa is much better."

Chang Le nodded, glanced around the ward, but couldn't see Lin Fan.

"Where is Brother Lin Fan?"

"My brother just went out to buy breakfast," Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Lin Fan found a breakfast shop near the hospital and bought three servings of white rice porridge, some steamed buns, and dumplings. Thinking that the three little princesses would be coming over later, he bought a few more servings.

Back at the hospital, Lin Fan saw three little princesses surrounding Li Yuan as soon as he entered.

"Hey, Sizi, you guys are here?"

"Wow! Lin Fan is back! What did he buy?!"

"I bought your favorite xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)."

After placing the breakfast on the table, Lin Fan took out a portion and brought it to Li Yuan.

Seeing the breakfast, Li Yuan also felt a little hungry, and the aroma of the steamed buns soon wafted into his nose.

"Sir, breakfast is rather simple, please make do with it."

"Hey, you can't say that! This food smells amazing!"

After setting out breakfast, Mingyue walked up to him and said, "Young master, you go and eat first. I'll serve the Emperor Emeritus."

Lin Fan didn't refuse and handed over the spoon with a smile.

Little Sizi, standing to the side, stared intently at the steamed buns on the table after Lin Fan put down the breakfast, while smacking her lips incessantly.

"Sizi, you're drooling!" Lin Fan teased the little princess with a smile.

"No~" Xiao Sizi subconsciously raised her hand to wipe her mouth, only to find that there was no saliva on her hand as Lin Fan had mentioned.

She quickly realized what was happening and pouted, saying, "Lin Fan, you lied to me!"

"Haha, why are you wiping your mouth if you're not drooling? Okay, okay, I know you're hungry, come and eat."

"Okay~" The most important thing is to eat first; the little ox can't care about anything else.

The little princess doesn't like porridge; all she can see now are meat buns.

While the group was still eating, the director arrived with a group of doctors for rounds.

He first inquired briefly about Li Yuan's condition. Seeing that he looked well and his indicators were normal, he gave him a few more instructions and then left the ward.

Half an hour later, the nurse pushed a cart into the room, ready to give Li Yuan an IV drip.

At this moment, Li Yuan was no longer nervous as he had been at the beginning, and even had the mood to chat with the nurse for a few minutes.

After the nurse finished her work and left the room, Lin Fan, worried that Li Yuan might be bored, turned on the TV on the wall, intending for him to watch some TV to relax.

Li Yuan already knew something about television sets, so he wasn't too surprised.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Lin Fan thought of going to the Tang Dynasty to let Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun know that he was safe. Although Chang Le and the others had gone back before, only Lin Fan knew the specific details of their illness.

He then left Li Chenggan and Chang Le behind, and took Si Zi and Cheng Yang back to the Tang Dynasty.

Upon arriving at the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were both present.

They were both delighted to see the three people who had suddenly appeared.

The two little princesses ran up to Empress Zhangsun, and Li Shimin inquired about Li Yuan's situation.

"Young man, how is the Emperor Emeritus now? What is the cause of his illness?"

"Well, to put it simply, the old man has some blockages in the blood vessels in his brain, as well as high blood pressure and some other underlying health conditions. However, the situation is not particularly serious, and I believe he will recover soon after a period of treatment."

Lin Fan felt that Li Shimin should be able to understand such a simple explanation.

Li Shimin nodded as if he understood, then looked at Lin Fan and asked, "What are blood vessels? Why do they get blocked?"

"Blood vessels are the channels through which blood is transported in the human body, just like rivers outside. They deliver water to various parts of the world. If they are blocked, problems will occur. The same principle applies to blood vessels."

"I see, so these blood vessels are what people normally call blood vessels?"

Li Shimin nodded. Although he couldn't imagine what blood vessels looked like, he could still understand the principle.

"That's roughly the idea."

In traditional Chinese medicine, blood vessels are also included, but not in such detail as in modern medicine.

"Then what is blocking the blood vessels?"

"Yes, it's something called a blood clot. You can think of it as an impurity in the blood or silt in a river."

"Oh, is that so? Then what is high blood pressure?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

Lin Fan patiently explained again: "High blood pressure is caused by excessive pressure in the blood vessels."

"Think about it: what would happen if the river's flow suddenly increased, but the width of the river channel remained the same?"

Li Shimin replied without hesitation, "The water will overflow, and in severe cases, the dikes will break!"

Lin Fan nodded: "That's right, that's the idea."

Having learned about Li Yuan's general condition and the possible solutions, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun felt much more at ease.

Lin Fan and the two little princesses stayed in the palace until nearly noon. As lunchtime approached, he prepared to return to the afterlife.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's almost time. I'll go back and prepare lunch for the Emperor Emeritus and Chang Le. I'll come back and let you know if anything happens."

Upon hearing that Lin Fan was leaving, Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said hesitantly, "Boy, how about I go with you to take a look?"

Li Shimin felt somewhat uneasy not having seen Li Yuan in person.

After thinking it over, Lin Fan agreed immediately. Anyway, Li Shimin had been to the future, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Erlang, Fan'er, I'll go with you too."

Seeing that Li Shimin was also leaving, Empress Zhangsun naturally did not want to stay in the palace alone.
