He clearly remembered that there was absolutely no rhubarb, senna and aloe vera in the recipe just now.
And the handwriting is different.
The handwriting of Imperial Physician Zhou is quite decent, but the beautiful thin gold calligraphy of his hand is definitely not something he can write.
Of course, it cannot be written by the kings of Yan and Chu.
"It seems to be the handwriting of His Highness King Wu." Liu Lian carefully identified it. Of course, the focus was not on calligraphy.
"Who changed the prescription, King Yan?"
"No, it's the King of Chu." Liu Ji showed a complicated expression, and finally no longer looked as haggard as before.
"Ah, that bastard Liu Lian!" Liu Lian said angrily: "Not only did he chase him home and make rude remarks, he also wanted to assassinate his father!"
"No, you are wrong again." Liu Ji let out a long sigh and said with tears in his eyes: "It turns out that kid didn't lie to me. He has really been serious about executing his plan."
"What plan?" Liu Lian was confused again.
"In short, just follow the prescription and take the medicine. Don't ask any questions, let alone talk to outsiders. Don't even talk to your brother about the King of Chu's prescription." Liu Ji waved his hand and said without any doubt: "I don't want to let anyone know about it."
If your father dies, just do it!"
"Hey!" Liu Lian understood now, and his father had grasped a chance of survival! So what else was there to talk nonsense about? Of course he did it resolutely!
He hurriedly took the prescription and was about to go out to grab the medicine. He almost bumped into his second brother who came in with Ma Zi in his arms.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
"I'm going to get some medicine!" Liu Lian disappeared in a flash.
"What the hell..." Liu Jing wanted to put him on the head. Do you really want your father to die?
"Father..." He refrained from scolding Liu Lian behind his back, put his horse on the ground, then went to help Liu Ji and said: "Son, please take off your belt."
The so-called mazi is a device for urinating. It was originally called "huzi", which is another name for the urinal. In the Tang Dynasty, people changed the name to "mazi" because they avoided the taboo of Taizu Li Hu.
Because of its barrel shape, it is also called the ‘toilet’.
"I don't need it now." Liu Ji grabbed his belt.
"Then what does father want to do with the horse?"
"I'm just saying, there's no need for it now," Liu Ji said lightly.
"Uh, okay..." Liu Jing was more thoughtful than her elder brother. From her father's mysterious words, she could feel that he seemed to have energy again.
~~
Two hours later.
Liu Lian stood beside the bed holding a medicine bowl with a look of dismay.
"Father, think twice."
"Drink." Liu Bowen took the medicine bowl with a determined look on his face and took a big gulp.
Hey, it tastes sour and sweet.
"Yes, the prescription contains loquat and Ophiopogon japonicus." Liu Lian whispered: "The doctor at Renjitang said that the person who wrote the prescription put a lot of thought into it, and it should be given to children."
Liu Bowen felt a warm feeling in his heart. His Royal Highness the King of Chu was too delicate. Is he worried that I am like him, afraid of suffering when taking medicine?
He is really, so gentle, I cried to death...
Liu Bowen secretly made up his mind that if he could really escape this disaster, he would repay King Chu well.
Then he drank it all in one gulp.
Then, it’s a long wait.
Half an hour later, Liu Jing heard a gurgling sound in her father's belly, which gradually sounded like thunder.
Looking at Liu Ji again, his face was pale and his body was like chaff. He raised his hands and said:
"Quick, help me get on the horse!"
That night, Old Man Liu got on his horse more than a dozen times. He was so exhausted that his face turned green, his legs were shaking, and the thank you note he gave to Boss Zhu was all written on the toilet.
~~
The next day, Wuying Hall.
It’s another day full of energy for Boss Zhu.
After finishing the morning's government affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Weiyong had a working meal while handling government affairs.
While Zhu Yuanzhang quickly approved the memorial, he asked: "Going to see Mr. Liu?"
"Back to the throne, yesterday I took Zhou Qiren to the Imperial Hospital to visit Uncle Chengyi." Hu Weiyong reported: "Zhou Qiren prescribed medicine, and I also conveyed the emperor's concern for him."
"Did you ask him?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were complicated.
"I asked." Hu Weiyong nodded and relayed the last conversation with Liu Bowen to the emperor.
It's not that he doesn't want to process it, but as a rule, Liu Bowen will write a thank you form. In the thank you form, he will probably describe this paragraph. If the emperor knows that he is lying to him, he will peel off his skin.
It's really skinning, not an exaggerated rhetoric. And after skinning, grass will be stuffed inside to make a doll and hang it up...
"No, I don't know, I have no contact." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered a few times, and as expected, he started looking for Liu Ji's thank you note and said: "Let us see what else he wants to say."
Hu Weiyong was very competent as a secretary. He organized the memorials into categories for Boss Zhu and made them clear at a glance. So I found them quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang first looked at the fire paint and found it was intact. Then he picked up the gold knife and scratched the fire paint and unfolded the folded pages.
"What does it smell like?" Boss Zhu had a sharp nose and glanced at Hu Weiyong with disgust. "Did you fart?"
"Ah this..." Hu Weiyong hesitated and shook his head.
Ordinarily, at a time like this, a minister should take the initiative to take responsibility and say yes. This way, if it is a dragon fart, he can relieve the emperor's embarrassment.
But he knew that if Boss Zhu had an affair with Xu Gong, he would always say directly, ‘Hahaha, we farted!’
He doesn't think this is anything embarrassing at all. So there's no need for him to force himself on him.
After looking at the thank you form, Zhu Yuanzhang knew where the smell came from.
"What? After taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, you pooped nine times in one night?" Zhu Yuanzhang sprayed Hu Weiyong in the face with a mouthful of dry food powder.
"And you don't have any intention of stopping. The thank you note you gave me was all written on the toilet?"
He looked up at Hu Weiyong who was secretly wiping his face with his sleeve and said, "What kind of medicine is Zhou Qiren prescribing? Liu Bowen has something wrong with his lungs, how can he be prescribed laxatives?!"
"I am a minister, I am ignorant of medical science..." Hu Weiyong broke into sweat again and secretly cursed Zhou Qiren. He had given many instructions to leave no trace and just let Liu Bowen die in a few months!
Why did the person surnamed Zhou take such strong medicine?! Don’t reveal your true colors even if you are tired of living!
"Call him here!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered.
~~
Soon, Zhou Yuan knelt in front of the emperor as if he were sifting chaff.
His psychological quality is not even a little bit worse than that of Hu Weiyong. As soon as the eunuch who announced the eunuch said that the emperor had summoned him, he was so frightened that he changed his pants.
Until the emperor asked him why he prescribed laxatives to Liu Bowen.
"Ah?" He froze for a moment, and then said in confusion: "The prescription prescribed for me is definitely not good for diarrhea..."
My heart says it's just the opposite, it should be constipation.
"But he's been doing it all night. A good man can't even stand three times! What's more, he's a sick old man?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "If he does it to death, will the blame be borne by you, or will it be your fault?"
On our head?!"
"Your Majesty, can I please read the prescription again?" Judge Zhou began to wonder if he was too nervous yesterday and wrote the wrong name of the medicine?
"Show him." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Eunuch Wu handed him the prescription he had just taken from Uncle Chengyi's house.
Magistrate Zhou took it over and took a look, and immediately shouted "Chong Tian Qu".
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this prescription is not the one prescribed for me!"
