795 [Gege woke up]
Wait, wait, wait, wait, an hour, two hours...
Wait until sunset during the day and wait until the second watch in the evening.
During this period, the housekeeper made many suggestions to persuade the prince and princess to have a meal, but they both refused.
Their daughter was unconscious for a while, so they couldn't think of eating.
Even though the others were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, since neither the prince nor the princess had eaten, they naturally did not dare to say they were hungry.
Only Defu was heartless and kept stuffing the cakes from the palace.
Wang Tianhe was offended, and Lu Zhongjing looked at him with blank eyes.
"Master, please try it, it tastes so good~" He also grabbed a handful of pastries and handed them to Xiang Nan.
"Okay, let's make up for it. Don't act like you haven't eaten yet and make people laugh." Xiang Nan glared at him and said.
"Hey, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Prince Jing waved his hands and said with a smile, "If the young master likes to eat it, I will just ask the kitchen to cook it."
In his opinion, it was a sign of confidence that DeFu was eating and drinking so much. Otherwise, he would have felt unsure and would have been scared to the point of losing his appetite. How could he be so relaxed?
…
Seeing that the second watch was almost over, everyone was impatient to wait.
"Xi Langzhong, it's been a long time and Gege hasn't woken up yet. Is this method of yours going to work?" Lu Zhong saw this and took the opportunity to ask.
"This is a prescription recorded in an ancient book. Could it be wrong?" Lu Zhengming saw him questioning Xilaile's medical skills and immediately stood up and retorted.
"Lord Lu, you don't know. Ancient prescriptions may not all be effective. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to study medicine and just follow the ancient prescriptions." Wang Tianhe waved his hand and said, "There is a saying in the medical scriptures that the medicine does not follow the prescription, but should be used appropriately.
.In my opinion, Xilaile just knows a few ancient recipes, so she came to the palace to ask for help."
"Why are you talking about my master like that? My master is really capable, and you are the one who is getting into trouble." Upon hearing this, Defu immediately defended his master.
"Bold!" Lu Zhong scolded, "How dare you say that to the imperial doctor? You don't want to live, do you?"
"Xilaile, your apprentice said you are really capable." Wang Tianhe sneered, "But as far as I know, you can't cure minor illnesses like abdominal bulging and snakehead sores."
"Is this really happening?" Prince Jing frowned and asked Xiang Nan in a cold voice.
He has been waiting for almost eight hours, and there is still no movement from his daughter. How can he not be worried? As a result, his confidence in Xiang Nan has also weakened.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
The prince is really soft-spoken and listens to the wind. It is no wonder that he was deceived by Yuan Shikai in the future, which led to the failure of the reform.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Xiang Nan nodded.
Although he failed to cure Meng Qinghe and Tian Kui's illness, which tarnished his reputation as a miracle doctor, Xiang Nan did not regret it. Those two bad guys should not have been cured.
When Prince Jing saw that this was true, he couldn't help but become more suspicious of Xiang Nan's medical skills.
"Xilaile, since you once said that we are 70 to 80% sure of curing Gege's disease, then you can tell us when will Gege wake up?" Wang Tianhe saw the prince's unhesitating expression and knew that he was worried about Xiang Nan.
When he had doubts, he hurriedly said, "We can't let you guys light up the lamp and waste wax like this, let's wait until the sea is ruined."
"Physician Wang, illnesses come like a mountain and go away like threads. Treatment is not something that can be done overnight. In particular, Gege has wind syndrome, which requires time to treat." Xiang Nan bowed and said.
"Wise words!" Wang Tianhe scolded coldly, "Then what should you do if Gege cannot be cured in the end? Don't forget that Gege's body of a rich man was ruined because of you." Go out, it’s hard to say whether it’s nice or not.”
"Your Majesty, if Princess is still awake at midnight, I, Xilaile, will sacrifice my head to save Princess' life." Xiang Nan bowed and said.
"Okay, Your Majesty, please hear me clearly. I am not forcing him to do this." Wang Tianhe smiled and looked at Prince Jing and said.
"Then you haven't cured Ge Ge, so shouldn't you be beheaded too?" Defu retorted.
"Presumptuous!" Lu Zhong pointed at Defu and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you talk to Dr. Wang like that!"
"That's enough!" The prince slapped the table and said, "At midnight, if Gege doesn't wake up, master and apprentice Xilaile will be kidnapped and brought to justice."
"Ah?!" Defu was startled and almost fell to the ground.
…
Time passes minute by minute.
Seeing that it was already the middle of the night, the beautiful maid who had brought tea to Master Xiang Nan ran out of Gege's boudoir, sweating profusely.
"Ruixin, how's it going?" the princess asked quickly.
The prince also looked anxious, looking forward to Rockchip and waiting for her good news.
"Gege...Gege...still hasn't woken up." Ruixin gasped.
"Alas!!!" When the princess heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, it's already the middle of the night, and Princess hasn't woken up yet. I don't think I need to say anything about Xilaile's medical skills," Wang Tianhe took the opportunity to say.
"Come on! Arrest Master and Disciple Xilaile!" Prince Jing's face turned dark and he said in a deep voice.
As soon as the order was given, the guards rushed forward and tied up Xiang Nan, master and disciple Defu, wiping their shoulders and folding their arms.
"Your Majesty, the third watch has not passed yet, so you should give Xi Langzhong a little more time." Upon seeing this, Lu Zhengming hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.
He is a sincere gentleman. He is grateful for Xiang Nan's life-saving grace and naturally does not want him to be wronged.
"Mr. Lu, you still can't tell that he is just a charlatan who got into trouble." Wang Tianhe sneered, "I healed your gunshot wound by accident, you really I thought he had such superb medical skills."
"That's right. If you give a little gold and create a medicine, you dare to claim that it can cure all diseases. That is a common trick used by charlatans who sell Dali Pills on Tianqiao." Lu Zhong agreed, "Master Lu, where are you from? Wealthy people often walk in temples, but how have they ever seen such charlatanism?"
"No, I believe Xi Langzhong will not lie to me." Lu Zhengming insisted.
He has seen Xiang Nan's medical skills with his own eyes, and they are completely different from those charlatans.
"Oh, Zhengming, please step back first." Prince Jing waved his hand and said, but he believed Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong's slander.
Lu Zhengming was helpless and turned to look at Xiang Nan, "Mr. Xi, I'm really sorry for you. I wanted to make you famous, but I didn't expect that it actually harmed you."
"Master Lu, there is no need to say more. You are never the only one who does bad things with good intentions." Xiang Nan shook his head.
After saying that, the guard pressed Xiang Nan's head and took him away.
"What am I talking about? If this country doctor can cure Princess's disease, then the sun has risen from the west." Wang Tianhe said coldly.
"That's right. If a rabbit can drive a shaft, why raise a big mule or a big horse?" Lu Zhong also said jokingly.
