Qiu Fu stood in front of an old man with a gray beard with a bitter expression, but he did not dare to stop him at all. He could only raise his voice so that the prince in the palace could hear him.
Qiu Fu was a fierce general in the army, while Doctor Liu was just a skinny old man who smelled of medicine. In terms of force, Qiu Fu could crush the old man's bones with just one blow.
But the old man held a gold token in his hand, so Qiu Fu could only keep retreating.
Seeing Qiu Fu standing in front of him, Doctor Liu snorted coldly, "I am here to diagnose and treat King Yan on the order of the Emperor. If it delays King Yan's condition, can you afford it? Get out of the way quickly!"
Qiu Fu knew the prince's situation very well, how could he dare to let Dr. Liu rush into the palace like this? No matter what, he had to hold off Dr. Liu for a while for the prince.
Just as Doctor Liu stepped onto the stone steps, a burst of laughter burst into the hall.
The next moment, a burly man with a disheveled dark blue python robe rushed out from the palace gate. He shouted "drive, drive, drive", made horseback movements, and rushed past Doctor Liu like a gust of wind.
Doctor Liu's beard was blown away by the wind brought by this person, leaving him staring at this person's retreating back with wide eyes.
"Here, who is this person?"
Qiu Fu rolled his eyes and immediately pretended to sigh and said, "Oh, to be honest with Doctor Liu, this is the prince."
"This is His Highness King Yan?" Doctor Liu couldn't believe his eyes. In his impression, King Yan was a handsome and powerful man. How could he be the madman in front of him?
"This, is this really King Yan?"
Qiu Fu's face was heavy and he nodded slowly, "This is why General Mo stopped Imperial Physician Liu. The prince is like this, so the palace has no choice but to tell the public that the prince is ill."
"His Royal Highness, King Yan, has always been like this?" Dr. Liu didn't believe it. If King Yan was really crazy, he should find a way to cure it. Why would he, the doctor, be turned away?
"Alas!" Qiu Fu sighed and explained, "The prince was just sick at first, and he was still conscious. But in the past two days, it has become more and more serious, and he has become like this."
"How can you leave such a serious case of hysteria unattended? I will go and diagnose and treat King Yan right now." After speaking, Imperial Physician Liu immediately chased after King Yan in the direction he left.
A trace of pity flashed in Qiu Fu's eyes, but he didn't expect that even this didn't deceive the old man.
Doctor Liu chased him all the way, and his old leg almost broke.
But he was surprised to see King Yan lying in the stable, holding a colt. He opened his python robe and was about to feed the colt.
"Eat, eat, grow taller"
Seeing such an unsightly scene, Imperial Physician Liu couldn't help but glance away and couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Zhu Di was actually observing Imperial Physician Liu with his peripheral vision at all times, and saw him turning his head away with a faint smile in his eyes.
Qiu Fu chased after him and was shocked when he saw the prince's behavior. If he hadn't known that the prince was pretending to be crazy, he would have thought that the prince was really crazy.
He shook his head vigorously to wake up, and quickly stepped forward to support the prince with a face full of tears.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, wake up"
"Eat, eat." When Zhu Di saw Qiu Fu blocking Doctor Liu's sight with his body, his face suddenly regained consciousness. He still looked a little crazy, but he still said some crazy things on purpose.
Qiu Fu winked at the prince to show his understanding.
Then he immediately shouted, "Come, come quickly, take the prince back to freshen up."
Several personal guards rushed over and assisted Qiu Fu in driving Zhu Di immediately.
Imperial Physician Liu watched from beginning to end, watching King Yan pass by him in a crazy manner, but in the end he did not say anything.
The next day, at the request of Imperial Physician Liu, he finally saw Zhu Di lying quietly on the bed.
"General Qiu, I wonder if I can diagnose and treat the prince?" Dr. Liu was afraid that Qiu Fu would not agree, so he quickly explained, "I am good at hysteria. I have cured several people with hysteria before."
Hearing the words of Imperial Physician Liu with his eyes closed, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel depressed. He finally came up with the method of pretending to be hysterical, but he didn't expect that his luck would not be very good. He happened to meet an imperial physician who could cure hysteria.
But now, he has no other choice but to bite the bullet and take it one step at a time, hoping that God will bless him and let him pass this test.
When Qiu Fu heard that Dr. Liu was good at hysteria, his heart sank. But in such a situation, it was impossible for him to speak out against it, otherwise Dr. Liu would definitely be suspicious of him.
No matter how unwilling he was, Qiu Fu could only pretend to be grateful, "Then I'll thank Dr. Liu. Please rest assured that as long as the prince can be cured, the Yan Palace will not treat Dr. Liu badly."
"It's a doctor's duty to treat him badly, but let me feel the prince's pulse first." Doctor Liu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Qiu Fu had no choice but to step aside and let Dr. Liu pass by.
Doctor Liu put four fingers on Zhu Di's wrist, and Qiu Fu couldn't help but feel excited.
.
The more he felt his pulse, the more Doctor Liu frowned.
And every time he frowned, Qiu Fu felt as if someone was squeezing his heart.
After a long time, Doctor Liu slowly opened his eyes, sighed and put Zhu Di's wrist back into the quilt.
"Physician Liu, how is the prince's condition?" Qiu Fu hid one hand behind his back, slowly clenching and opening his fingers into a claw-like shape.
Doctor Liu stroked his beard and shook his head, sighing to himself, "It's really strange."
"What's strange? Is the prince's condition serious?" Upon hearing this, Qiu Fu immediately stopped what he was doing.
Doctor Liu lowered his head and glanced at King Yan, as if he couldn't believe it and said, "The prince's pulse is steady and strong, even better than that of ordinary people, and there is no obstruction in the internal organs. Logically speaking, the prince should be fine."
.”
"Oh, really? Do you think that the prince is not sick? But you also saw what happened yesterday, how could he not be sick?" Qiu Fu stared at Dr. Liu closely, and quietly took a step forward.
.??.
Imperial Physician Liu was unaware of this, and said to himself, "People are not sick, but hysteria is inherently a difficult and complicated disease, and such situations are not uncommon."
Qiu Fu's waving hand immediately changed. The powerful claws that were originally directed towards Doctor Liu's neck suddenly became soft and weak.
He suddenly grabbed Dr. Liu's arm and said with a pleading look, "Really? Can Dr. Liu do anything to save the prince? I beg Dr. Liu, please take action to save the prince."
After saying that, he knelt down towards Dr. Liu without hesitation.
Doctor Liu subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Qiu Fu up, but as an old man, his strength was no match for a fierce general like Qiu Fu. Pulling twice had no effect at all.
He had no choice but to shake his head and explain, "General Qiu, get up quickly. This hysteria is extremely troublesome. Although I have cured it before, the symptoms of those people are completely different from those of the prince. I am not sure."
Qiu Fu was overjoyed when he heard that Dr. Liu said he was not sure. This meant that he could not tell that the prince was pretending to be ill.
Qiu Fu also stood up and said with a sad face, "Mr. Liu, is there really nothing we can do?"
Doctor Liu shook his head inwardly, but he couldn't say it directly, so he said, "I will prescribe a prescription for the prince to try first."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu." Qiu Fu got off the donkey along the slope.
Doctor Liu sat at the table. After pondering for a while, he picked up his pen and scribbled out a prescription.
"Take it and give it to the prince to try first."
Qiu Fu
He took it with both hands with great respect and said, "Thank you very much, Imperial Physician Liu. Imperial Physician Liu has had a long journey. The palace has prepared a wing for Imperial Physician Liu. Please go and rest first."
Although the old doctor Liu came here by boat, which was much easier than riding a horse or carriage, he was indeed tired after traveling all the way.
He didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
After Doctor Liu walked out of the hall, Qiu Fu straightened his back and pinched the prescription without paying any attention to it.
Zhu Di also lifted the quilt and started doing it.
When Qiu Fu heard King Yan's movements, he quickly turned around and bowed, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Di glanced outside the palace and said coldly, "Finally, I fooled him away."
Qiu Fu straightened up and said with an apologetic smile, "It's the prince's quick thinking that came up with such a way. When the general couldn't stop him, his palms were sweating, for fear that he would see the clues. The general couldn't stop him."
He stopped him outside the palace and asked the prince to punish him."
How could Zhu Di be willing to punish his favorite general for such a trivial matter? If this matter went wrong, maybe Zhu Di would punish Qiu Fu, but now that he has passed the test safely, there is no need to mention it again.
"Well, it's not your fault. That old guy has the emperor's golden order. What can you do?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiu Fu was filled with gratitude.
Zhu Di stretched out his hand slightly, and Qiu Fu quickly offered the recipe.
Zhu Di opened the prescription and took a look, with a smile on his face. He handed the prescription to Qiu Fu and said, "Take it to the doctor in the mansion to see. If there is no problem, fry the medicine."
"Your Majesty, do you really want to drink this medicine?" Qiu Fu was very surprised. If he was pretending to be sick, why did he drink the medicine?
Zhu Di smiled faintly, "This Imperial Physician Liu is a capable person. If I don't take the medicine, there is no guarantee that he will not notice the clues."
"What the prince said is that the general will leave right away."
"etc."
"What other orders does the prince have?" Qiu Fu stopped and bowed slightly.
"Ask the government to get Dr. Liu a hundred taels of gold." Zhu Di's eyes closed slightly.
Qiu Fu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di's prediction was good. The prescription prescribed by Dr. Liu was just a nourishing prescription, but he was very familiar with the medicinal materials in it. Even if it was boiled into a concoction, he would know if the prescription had been tampered with just by smelling it.
Imperial Physician Liu was determined not to accept the gold sent by Qiu Fu at first. He still knew that if you have a life to take it, you may not have a life to spend it.
