Chapter 416 Return to Chang'an City
Chapter 416 Return to Chang'an City
As for why Doctor Gongsun stayed here, one reason was that he had just used too much energy from the acupuncture method with golden needles and needed to rest. It would be unrealistic to ride back on horseback now.
The second reason is that Li Chu asked Doctor Gongsun to stay here, so that if there is any problem with Dugu Xin, Doctor Gongsun can come to see him at any time.
Adhering to the principle of being responsible for his own and his patients' health, Doctor Gongsun was not in a hurry to return to Chang'an City, but chose to stay and see the situation.
Fortunately, Dugu Xin was used to practicing martial arts and had always been in good health without any major illnesses, so his physical condition was also very good. He woke up after more than an hour.
However, after waking up, he not only felt a headache, but also felt a little dizzy, and it was difficult for him to sit up...
Li Chu and Shi Jian saw Dugu Xin wake up and immediately rushed to his bedside. Li Chu asked, "Father, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Dugu Xin held his head and said, "I just feel very dizzy."
Li Chu saw this and ordered, "Shi Jian, you stay here and guard for a while. I will be back soon."
Shi Jian agreed and asked Dugu Xin, "Your Highness, are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water."
Dugu Xin did feel a little thirsty, but he took the teacup and vomited after taking a sip, which scared Shi Jian a lot.
Just at this time, Li Chu came back with the divine doctor Gongsun and saw Dugu Xin retching.
Li Chu frowned and quickly said to Divine Doctor Gongsun, "Divine Doctor, please help me see what's wrong with my father-in-law."
Doctor Gongsun asked Li Chu and Shi Jian to help lay Dugu Xin flat, then carefully felt his pulse, then touched his head and looked at the fundus of his eyes. He then said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. Your Highness is fine. The blood clots have cleared up now. It's just that the head was hit, so there are some dizziness and vomiting sequelae. They will subside in two days. There is no need to worry."
Li Chu felt relieved after hearing this, but he still asked, "Excuse me, Divine Doctor Gongsun, is there anything else we should pay attention to?"
Doctor Gongsun smiled and said, "Don't move until the dizziness subsides. Also, eat a light diet and avoid drinking alcohol. There are no other precautions for now."
Hearing this, Dugu Xin felt even more dizzy. It wasn't because of anything else, just the fact that he had to eat a light diet and couldn't drink alcohol was enough to give him a headache...
Seeing Dugu Xin's expression of "Oh my god, I'm not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat, isn't this going to kill me?", Li Chu, Guo Ziyi and Shi Jian on the side all tried to hold back their laughter.
Seeing how they were trying to hold back their laughter, Dugu Xin had a fierce look on his face that said, "Stop laughing! I'll beat you if you continue laughing!", and only then did several people hold back their laughter.
Not long after, Shi Jian suddenly remembered that she hadn't reported the news to Dugu Jingyao yet, so she bowed to Li Chu and said, "Your Highness, the princess sent me out to get information. Because she heard that the prince was injured and unconscious, she didn't dare to report it to you. Now that the prince has woken up, I have to hurry back to report the news!"
Hearing this, Li Chu said, "Then hurry back to the palace and report the news. I am here with you."
But Dugu Xin said, "All of you should go back. Chu'er and Ziyi, you two haven't had a rest all night. Go back and take a shower and rest. I'm fine. Besides, don't we have the imperial physician and the military doctor here?"
Li Chu was still a little hesitant, so Dugu Xin said, "Chu'er, go back quickly. Yao'er will be worried if you don't go back. Yao'er will feel more at ease if you go back with her."
Li Chu then said, "Okay, father, I will leave the secret guards to you. If anything happens, you can have the secret guards send a message to me."
Dugu Xin pretended to be annoyed by Li Chu's nagging in his ear. He said in an annoyed tone, "I know, I know. Go quickly and send the miracle doctor back."
Li Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. You can have a good rest."
Dugu Xin nodded, and Li Chu took Doctor Gongsun, Guo Ziyi and Shi Jian out of the tent.
There really weren't any villages or shops nearby where a carriage could be obtained, so Li Chu bowed to Gongsun Shen apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, Divine Doctor, there are no carriages here. I'll have to trouble you to ride with us on horseback."
Divine Doctor Gongsun waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, it's alright. I just came here on horseback with Miss Shijian."
Li Chu knew that Divine Doctor Gongsun could ride a horse, but he had just used up a lot of energy, so he said, "Thank you for your hard work. We can ride slower on the way back."
Doctor Gongsun smiled and said, "Although I am old, I am in good health. Mount your horse, Your Highness. The princess is waiting for you. You can't wait any longer."
Li Chu was a little embarrassed by the teasing of Doctor Gongsun and said, "Okay, then it's as you say."
After saying that, several people jumped on their horses and galloped all the way, raising a cloud of dust.
