Wang De's face instantly turned pale, and his knees bent.
"My Lord Ke, please spare this old servant."”
"Alright, I'm just joking with you. I'll go in first.”Li Ke smiled proudly as he walked into the courtyard.
Wang De wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled bitterly and muttered," But how do I report this to His Majesty…"
Li Ke had just stepped into the bedroom when he smelled the pungent smell of medicine.
When he came to the Empress 'couch, his father, mother, Yang Ruyi, and Sun Simiao were all there.
Yang Ruyi looked at her son worriedly.
She heard that Li Ke was entering the palace and rushed over.
He was also worried that Li Ke would be resentful and tell him what had happened in Chang 'an.
"Ke 'er is here." Zhangsun Wugou was leaning against a pillow. When he saw Li Ke, he smiled and waved."Don't stand so far away, come over to mother.”
"Thank you, mother."
Li Ke walked over and sat down on the small stool set up by the maid. He asked,"Your son was delayed by some matters and was unable to come back to visit immediately. Please forgive mother.”
"Mother knows that you are busy with training the soldiers.”
"It's not for training. I basically don't interfere in the training of soldiers.”
Li Shi Min almost couldn't hold it in.
Fortunately, when he saw Zhangsun Wugou reveal a rare smile that came from the bottom of his heart, he gave up.
Li Ke smiled and handed over a box with both hands, saying,"I heard that your illness has not healed for a long time, so I made something for you.”
He opened the exquisite box.
"What is this? Why does it look like a blood clot?”
Li Shi Min stretched out his hand to take it out for observation.
"Father, have you washed your hands?" Li Ke withdrew his hand.”
He ignored Li Shiming's twitching lips and explained,""This thing is a warm-up medicine that I accidentally found in an ancient prescription when I was searching for information about the breeding of donkeys and horses.”
" It's made from donkey skin, walnuts, red dates, yellow wine, and honey. According to the prescription, it has the effect of replenishing qi, nourishing yin, and replenishing blood. It's especially effective for women who are pregnant and have physical injuries…"
Li Ke spoke with assurance.
When he heard that Zhangsun Wugou had fallen ill again, he thought of donkey-hide glue.
Zhangsun Wugou indeed had a hereditary qi disease, but this disease was not particularly serious.
As long as it was maintained well, it would not affect one's lifespan at all.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhangsun Wugou died early was because he was mentally and physically exhausted.
Li Chengqian's matter.
In addition, in this era, women got married early and pregnant, but they had no control over their children. Every time they gave birth, they would lose their vitality.
Zhangsun Wugou was only forty years old, but he had already given birth to seven children.
When she gave birth to the rhinoceros, she even had symptoms of dystocia.
The continuous childbirth had severely depleted Zhangsun Wugou's Yuan Qi.
He thought that perhaps donkey-hide glue, which was very effective for women, could be effective.
Unfortunately, he had asked around for a long time but had not found anything.
In his previous life, he had learned that the earliest mention of donkey-hide glue was found in the " Fifty-two Recipes " unearthed from the Han Tomb at Mawangdui in Jingzhou.
As for why Tang Chao had disappeared.
There could only be one explanation, and that was that the donkey-hide glue had been lost for various reasons.
Fortunately, he had watched a documentary about donkey-hide glue and knew the process of making it.
Moreover, he believed that the donkey-hide glue that he had made from the real donkey-hide that was free from pollution would definitely be more effective than the donkey-hide glue that was used in the later generations to increase one's weight.
"This is the prescription." Li Ke immediately took out the prescription from his pocket and added,"Your son has tried it personally. I don't know the effects, but it's been a day, so it definitely isn't poison.”
As for the prescription, it was written on a piece of paper that Li Ke had used for a long time. After it was written, he put it into the rice bag that had worms in it and forged it.
The purpose was also very simple. It was a kind lie.
With less trouble, people would believe him.
"Your Highness, can you let me take a look?" Sun Simiao asked.
"Of course, Doctor Sun, please take a look.”
After Sun Simiao read it, he nodded and said,"It is indeed an ancient recipe. The medicinal ingredients in it, especially the main ingredient, donkey skin, do indeed have the effect of replenishing blood and qi.”
"The ancient recipe said that women can eat it often and it will have long-term benefits for the body.”Li Ke turned his head and made a face at his mother. He smiled and said,""Consort mother, in a few days, your son will make another one for you.”
"Ruyi, you can't be jealous and angry at Ke 'er because of this.”Zhangsun Wugou joked with a pale face.
As he spoke, he took the box from Li Ke's hands and acted as if he was afraid that Yang Ruyi would steal it.
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
"I'll let the maid serve you later to taste the medicine that little bastard prepared for you." Li Shiming said with a smile.”
As he spoke, Li Shiming reached out to take the box from Zhangsun Wugou's hand.
The smile on Li Ke's face froze.
It was obvious that his father was worried that there was something wrong with the medicine and wanted to check it later.
He was even more determined to save Zhangsun Wugou.
Not to mention that Zhangsun Wugou was indeed very good to him.
He wanted to repay her.
Just based on Zhangsun Wugou's role in stabilizing the government, he had to save him!
Throughout the history of Huaxia, there were two emperors who needed a woman to teach them a lesson, and there was also a woman who could teach them a lesson.
His current father.
And Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as his mother Zhangsun Wugou was alive, Li Shiming would not go crazy. If someone could persuade him, he would not fall into an undeserved disaster if he did something out of line in the future.
The stability of the court was beneficial to the implementation of his plan.
"This is Ke 'er's filial piety to my mother. There's no reward. Compared to eating it in front of him, it will make Ke' er happier, right?”Zhangsun Wugou said with a smile. He avoided Li Shiming's hand and took out a rectangular piece of donkey-hide glue that was as long as a finger and as wide as a joint. He took a bite.
"Yes, it tastes very good. There's also a faint honey sweetness. It doesn't have the bitterness and difficulty of swallowing medicine at all.”
Magnificent!
Li Ke gave a thumbs up in his heart.
He glanced at Li Shiming from the corner of his eye. Look, you are an emperor, but you are not as generous as a woman!
He sincerely admired this empress.
He chatted with Zhangsun Wugou in the rear palace for two hours before sending his mother back to the palace before leaving.
"Wang De, find a maid to secretly take some donkey-hide glue. Don't let the Empress find out and send it to the Imperial Academy of Medicine for a secret examination.”Li Shi Min ordered as he watched Li Ke leave.
"This old servant obeys."
After Wang De left, Li Shimin whispered to himself," I hope you won't disappoint me…"
Outside the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Ke rode his horse out and met a carriage on the moat bridge of the Imperial City.
He rode his horse past them.
The curtain of the carriage was lowered. Inside the carriage sat a silver-haired, elegant old man. Beside him was a young girl dressed in green, agile and beautiful.
"Grandpa, is that the Prince Ke whose name shook Chang 'an? He's quite handsome." A crisp voice that sounded like the chirping of an oriole rang out from the young girl's mouth.
Humph!
"He's just an atavistic wolf cub. He's famous in Chang 'an and the most unsuccessful heresy of the Li family's bloodline!”The old man said disdainfully.
"Grandpa, watch your words." The girl's already fair face instantly lost all color.
