Chapter 375 Don’t Report to Father
Prince Rui and his companions knew that there were no doctors among the guards guarding the tomb, and there were basically no villages around the imperial mausoleum.
The reason why some of them formed a small village is that they are the descendants of the guards who have guarded the imperial tombs over the years.
If you have a headache or fever, you have to deal with it yourself or wait for the itinerant doctor to give you medicine.
I waited for an unknown amount of time.
at this time,
An old doctor was brought in by King Rui's guards and was asked to wait at the door.
The guard came into the room and reported back.
"Reporting to King Rui, I am sorry for the delay! I finally found an old doctor in his seventies in a village a little further away."
"Well, stop talking nonsense and bring people in quickly."
"Here!"
Soon, the trembling old doctor walked in, breathing heavily.
*
"Doctor, come and take a look at the patient's wound."
Prince Rui pointed at the old doctor and gave him an order.
The old doctor walked in tremblingly and looked around quickly.
He knew that there was a team here that was specifically responsible for guarding the imperial mausoleum. Due to the tight security, the people nearby did not dare to get close at all.
This was the first time in his life that he had set foot in the imperial mausoleum, and he was very excited. After all, this was the Feng Shui treasure land where the ancestors of the Daliang Emperor had stayed.
The old doctor was secretly excited, and with his cloudy eyes he saw a handsome and extraordinary nobleman talking to him.
Beside him were two young nobles dressed in extraordinary attire.
He quickly stopped his wild thoughts, thinking that this person must be the official guarding the imperial mausoleum.
So the old doctor stepped forward with great fear and bowed.
"I have met you, my dear."
"No need to be polite, go check on the patient's wound first."
Prince Rui spoke again, without blaming the old doctor for being rude.
It didn't even say who was lying on the bed. After all, the fact that the prince was punished by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum was kept secret.
"Yes Yes Yes."
The old doctor agreed repeatedly, took off the medicine box on his back and walked to the bedside.
*
The old doctor was afraid to look directly at the young man with his eyes closed and covered with a quilt on the bed. For some reason, he always felt a sense of oppression that prevented him from acting rashly, and at the same time, he felt fear in his heart.
"Doc, he was bitten on the shoulder by a small animal."
Prince Rui walked over, lifted the brocade quilt on the prince's right shoulder and said.
"Bitten by a small beast? Let me take a look."
The old doctor removed the blood-stained bandage with shaking hands and sucked in a breath of cold air with a hiss.
The palm-sized wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and the edges of the wound were full of rotten flesh. His little heart couldn't help but tremble.
The third and fourth princes didn't dare to look any further and took a few steps back, then turned their heads away in panic and heartache.
"How did the wound come about so severely? May I ask, sir, do you know what kind of animal bit him?"
King Rui glanced at the guard Lan Yu and asked him to answer.
Lan Yu hurriedly replied,
"It was the middle of the night and I couldn't see it clearly."
King Rui asked the old doctor with some displeasure,
"Doctor, you can't tell what bit you?"
*
The old doctor shook his head and told the truth with some hesitation.
"To be honest, sir, I am incompetent. The wound is so badly festered that I can't tell what caused it.
But looking at the wound, it looks like the beast's fangs are poisonous, otherwise the wound wouldn't be so badly festered!"
King Rui was a little disappointed when he heard that the old doctor didn't know what had bitten him.
"Then treat the wound quickly!"
“Yes, yes, but please step back and let some light in. I’m afraid I can’t see clearly because I’m dizzy.
But my medical skills are limited, I can only bandage you. You'd better go to the town to see a doctor."
"Ah? You said you can't see it?"
The third and fourth princes cried out in surprise.
Prince Rui hurriedly used his eyes to stop the two little princes from speaking anxiously.
He said to the old doctor,
"Don't talk nonsense, just stop the bleeding first."
"Yes Yes."
King Rui ordered everyone to step back a few steps and watch from afar without saying anything more.
When Lan Yu heard the old doctor say that he couldn't treat the disease, he felt heartbroken.
He bowed to King Rui and said,
"Please ask King Rui to go back and follow?"
Before the emperor could utter a word, he was scolded by Prince Rui.
"Shut up."
Lan Yu closed his mouth sadly.
*
The old doctor was not a bad doctor. He was very skillful and quickly treated the prince's wound.
It was the first time he had seen such a serious wound.
What I didn't say and didn't dare to say was, seeing how ulcerated this noble man's wound was and the high fever he had, his life would be in danger if he didn't get treatment right away!
The old doctor took out the medicine he had made and treated the prince's wound as quickly as possible.
Then he cautiously wrote out a prescription, and eunuch Xiaodongzi arranged for a guard to follow the old doctor back to get the medicine.
The room was silent for a moment.
King Rui said to the people in the room,
"Brother Crown Prince, it was the Emperor who sent us here. We must get the Emperor's approval before making any decision.
You two wait a moment to see if the prince can wake up, and then we can make a decision."
"Well, we all listen to Brother Rui Wang."
The third and fourth princes bowed and said.
Lan Yu was a person of little influence, and with tears in her eyes she stood by the prince's bed.
*
The old doctor still had some skills. Not long after,
The prince opened his eyes weakly, looked at the three of them and said,
"I'm sorry to have frightened you, my brothers! I'm injured and cannot entertain you. I hope you can forgive me."
King Rui said hurriedly,
"You are too polite, my prince! I came here because the New Year is coming and my father is very worried about me. He specially asked the three of us brothers to come and visit.
I didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation with my brother, the Crown Prince. When I return, I will report this to my father and ask him to show mercy and take my brother, the Crown Prince, back to the palace to heal his injuries."
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, my brother, you are seriously injured. When we return, we will go and ask our father to take you back to the palace to recover."
*
The prince drank a glass of water under Lan Yu's help and shook his head gently.
"Thank you, Prince Rui and my two younger brothers, for your concern. My injury looks scary, but it's nothing serious. I just need to take care of myself. You don't need to alarm my father. Let's go back to the palace!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested.
The Third Prince was a little anxious when he heard this.
"Just now, the old doctor said that the prince brother should go to the town to treat his injuries?"
The prince uttered two words softly.
"No need. I am alone, you guys can go back!"
*
When King Rui saw this, he knew that it was meaningless to stay any longer. So he stood up, bowed and said,
"Then I will not disturb you, my prince, from recuperating. I wish you a speedy recovery. If anything happens, please send Lan Yu to let me know.
Oh, by the way, Concubine Fang knew that I was coming today, so she asked me to bring some clothes to my brother, the Crown Prince."
The prince could hear Prince Rui's little thoughts, but when he heard Fang Qingge sent him clothes, his heart was still warmed, but his face remained calm.
He opened his eyes and said,
"Thank you!"
Then he instructed Lan Yu,
"You go and take care of the arrangements."
