Prince Li Hong's hostility towards Lu Jiajiduo was direct and brutal, and he did not hide it at all.
Lu Jiajiduo's heart trembled slightly. He looked into Li Hong's eyes and found that his eyes were full of hatred and anger.
It was a look only an enemy could have.
Lu Jiayi was very confused. Today was his first meeting with Li Hong. He didn't know when he had offended Li Hong.
Your father trusts me so much, why do you hate me so much?
As for the gold, pearls and jade mentioned by Li Hong, Lu Jiayi felt a little guilty.
The elixir of life is a high-end product, and it is only natural to use something expensive. Even if it is not used as medicine, don’t the people who make the elixir need mental damage compensation?
Recovering blood and mana also requires money to buy medicine.
But this reason was really difficult to express in front of Li Hong. Lu Jiayi had been an official for a few more days, and he understood the rules of the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty to 70-80%.
In this strict class environment, if the prince scolds you, you will bear it, and if the prince hits you, you will pout. If you dare to refute the prince, you will commit the following offenses, and the consequences will be serious.
Lu Jiajido can act like a master in front of others, but he dare not in front of Li Hong. The prince is full of hatred for him, and his full desire to survive tells him that it is best not to contradict the prince at this time.
"Your Highness is serious. We do have gold, pearls, and jade, but they were all given by His Majesty. I can only accept them with shame. They are all external things, and of course they cannot be used as medicine." Lu Jiajiduo explained with a smile.
Li Hong said in an indifferent tone: "You have come all the way to the Tang Dynasty to seek an official position or to seek wealth? If you want it, I can give it to you."
Lu Jiayiduo bowed to Li Hong and said, "I do not seek official positions or wealth. I only seek longevity for the emperor and blessings for the people. I have accumulated merit and am worthy of the Buddha."
Li Hong smiled: "What you said is very beautiful, Lu Jiajiduo, you are a person."
Lu Jiajiduo's heart tightened. Of course he didn't think this was a compliment. In fact, he could hear murderous intent in Li Hong's words.
I don’t know why Li Hong has such deep hostility towards him, but Lu Jiayi knows better than to continue chatting with Li Hong. Distinguished big shots are often moody. If the conversation does not go well later, Li Hong’s murderous intention will be aroused.
, it is really possible to drag him down and behead him.
"Your Highness, by the emperor's order, I am here to diagnose your highness. I would also like to ask your highness to extend your hand."
Li Hong smiled strangely at him: "You want to diagnose me? Can you check my pulse? Do you know the pathology of pulse conditions? Do you know how to prescribe drugs to overcome the symptoms?"
Lu Jiayi said calmly: "I know what I should know, but I need to take His Highness's pulse first. I don't know His Highness's pulse, so I don't dare to prescribe."
Li Hong stared into his eyes for a long time, then slowly stretched out his wrist.
After Lu Jiayiduo confessed, he put three fingers up and felt Li Hong's pulse with his eyes half closed.
Li Hong was still staring at his face, with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
After a long while, Lu Jiajiduo asked Li Hong to change his hand and continue to feel the pulse, then looked at his tongue coating, carefully looked at Li Hong's complexion and face, and finally asked about Li Hong's diet, daily life and various symptoms.
I have to admit that this set of consultation procedures is very professional. Li Hong can't find any faults. There is nothing wrong with Lu Jiajiduo's method, which is even more meticulous than that of the imperial physician.
After taking his pulse, Lu Jiajiduo said slowly: "Your Highness is born with a weak body, extremely weak in qi and blood, severely damaged spleen and stomach, and appears to be overworked. I have to say bluntly that His Highness is terminally ill and cannot be cured with medicine or stone."
A strange color flashed in Li Hong's eyes. The imperial doctor had also said these words. Likewise, Li Hong couldn't find anything wrong with him.
No wonder this person is trusted by his father. If he is a liar, he does have some integrity.
If Li Hong hadn't believed in Li Qinzai very much, he might have been convinced of Lu Jiajiduo at this time.
"You once said that my disease can be cured. Now that the pathology is known, how do you plan to prescribe it?" Li Hongdan said with a smile.
Lu Jiayi made another bow and said: "Medicine and stone are difficult to cure, but refining the elixir may have life. I am from Tianzhu, and the elixir I used is also from Tianzhu. I don't know how many days your highness is willing to wait."
The elixir is refined and presented to His Highness in front of the steps."
Li Hong smiled coldly and was noncommittal.
However, Lu Jiajiduo smiled slightly and said confidently: "Before the elixir is refined, I can prescribe one to temporarily ensure that His Highness's condition does not worsen. This is what you often call 'delaying for a while'. What do you think of Your Highness?"
"
Li Hong nodded: "Okay, come here, get some paper and pen."
The palace attendants brought a pen and paper, and Lu Jiajiduo was not polite. He took up the pen and wrote down the following words.
Lu Jiayi was originally from Tianzhu, but he also knew a lot about the culture of the Central Plains. He could not only speak Guanzhong dialect, but also write Chinese characters.
After a long while, Lu Jiajiduo finished writing the prescription, and then handed it to the palace attendant with both hands. Li Hong waved, and the palace attendant hurriedly handed over the prescription.
After carefully looking at the medicinal materials in the prescription, the surprise in Li Hong's eyes became stronger.
The dozen or so herbs on the prescription are all very familiar, and they are exactly the medicines he often takes these days.
Seeing the names of these familiar medicinal materials, Li Hong even began to wonder if this guy was a liar. Apart from anything else, he seemed to be really good at diagnosing diseases and prescribing prescriptions, at least as good as the imperial doctors around him.
After Lu Jiajiduo gave instructions to the palace servants on the method of decoction, he said goodbye to Li Hong.
Until Lu Jiajiduo left the East Palace, Li Hong stared at the prescription in his hand and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Xuan Tai Medical Office ordered Qin Minghe to come to the East Palace, quickly."
Half an hour later, the Imperial Medical Office ordered Qin Minghe to rush to the East Palace.
The Imperial Medical Office Order is an official position. As the name suggests, Qin Minghe is the top leader of the Imperial Medical Office and has full medical authority.
When Li Zhi suffered from vertigo and fainted, it was Li Qinzai and Qin Minghe who cooperated with each other to save Li Zhi's life by bleeding from the tips of his ears.
Qin Minghe was an old man in his seventies. When Li Hong called him an order, the old man almost broke his leg. After entering the dormitory to greet Li Hong, he was still breathing heavily and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
Li Hong didn't waste any time and handed the recipe to Qin Minghe.
"Please ask Doctor Qin to help me see if this prescription can cure my illness?"
Qin Minghe took the prescription and looked at it carefully twice, frowning gradually.
"Your Highness, this prescription is very stable. It is almost the same as the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctors at the Imperial Medical Office after consultation, except that there are two more medicinal materials in it. However, these two medicinal materials are mixed in. I haven't seen any clues for a while. Maybe
It is a warming and nourishing medicine, and it may also be the finishing touch.”
"Whatever the facts are, I need to go back to the Imperial Medical Office and consult with my colleagues before I can give His Highness a clear answer."
Li Hong also frowned and said, "That is to say, this prescription should generally be symptomatic?"
Qin Minghe hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's generally symptomatic."
Li Hong's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"His morals are not shallow. I even doubt whether he is a liar after all... If he is really a liar, it will be difficult to get rid of this person." Li Hong murmured.
Not to mention Li Qinzai’s advice, nor the prescriptions given to Li Hong by Lu Jiayiduo.
Li Hong is the prince, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty has his own opinions. Whatever he thinks is wrong must be wrong.
Among other things, the "elixir of life" has made Li Hong feel deeply disgusted and disgusted.
He is different from Li Zhi. He does not believe in immortality. Anyone who pretends to be "immortal" is a traitor who brings harm to the country in his eyes.
As his mood became more and more excited, Li Hong's face turned a little pale and he coughed violently.
Qin Minghe was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back and check his pulse.
Li Hong coughed and waved his hands, and said intermittently: "Get a pen and paper, I want to write a memorial."
