The fireworks were in March, and the spring was chilly.
Chang 'an City, Eternal Peace Lane.
A middle-aged man came to the entrance of the clinic.
"Is Doctor Li here?"
Li Zimo glanced at them.
"I am."
The middle-aged man was slightly startled.
"Are you the Miracle Doctor Li who can cure all illnesses?”
Li Zimo shook his head.
"The rumors of the martial world cannot be trusted."
The middle-aged man ignored Li Zimo's polite words.
He took out a piece of silver and handed it to Li Zimo.
"Please treat my daughter.”
This silver ingot was worth thirty taels.
In the Great Tang, only the nobles used gold and silver as currency, while the commoners used gold ingots.
It was enough to show that this person had a prominent identity.
Li Zimo nodded.
"Quickly bring your daughter in."
The two middle-aged men behind him looked at each other and nodded.
Thus, under the crowd, two maidservants supported a young girl as they walked in.
This young girl looked quite young and tender. She was very beautiful.
However, he looked haggard and did not look optimistic.
The maidservant helped the young girl to sit opposite Li Zimo and handed him a piece of paper.
"This is my young miss's birth characters and her illness. Please take a look.”
Li Zimo took the note and looked at it carefully. Then, his gaze fell on the girl's face.
The data he wanted appeared in his eyes.
[Patient Age: Thirteen]
[Patient's gender: Female]
[symptoms: lethargy, high fever, cough, vomiting blood]
Suffering from: acute sore throat caused by viral cold, inflammation of the lungs, cerebritis
Upon seeing this information, Li Zimo's expression changed slightly. The situation was so serious that it was life-threatening.
If she didn't get him to treat her, she probably wouldn't be able to live for more than a few days.
It seemed that in ancient times, colds could also kill people.
"This is a serious cold. If it isn't treated in time, you won't live past this month.”
The middle-aged man frowned.
"Does the doctor have a way to treat it?"
Li Zimo nodded.
"Of course there is, but the medicine is expensive.”
The middle-aged man did not hesitate.
"As long as you can cure my daughter, no matter how much money you have, it's not a problem.”
Li Zimo looked up at the middle-aged man.
"One hundred taels of gold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was instantly stunned.
One hundred gold taels, what kind of concept was that?
It was equivalent to more than three years of salary for a first-grade official.
"Alright, if you can cure it, I'll give you a thousand taels, let alone a hundred taels.”
The middle-aged man immediately took out five gold bars and placed them on the table.
Li Zimo was not in a hurry to keep the gold bars.
"It's not too late to pay when the lady is well.”
The middle-aged man looked at Li Zimo with a puzzled expression.
"Aren't you afraid that we won't come back to pay for your medicine?”
Li Zimo shook his head.
"I can tell at a glance that the few of you are people with prominent statuses. You won't cheat a folk herbal doctor like me.”
The man nodded.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Doctor Li to prescribe the medicine.”
Li Zimo cupped his hands.
"Please wait a moment!"
As he spoke, Li Zimo went into the pharmacy to get the medicine.
Not long after, Li Zimo took out three packets of medicine.
"Take these three packets of medicine with warm water three times a day.”
"Do not drink alcohol or eat greasy, spicy, or cold food during the process of taking the medicine.”
"Three days later, when the medicine is cured, you can come to me to pay.”
Li Zimo passed the medicine to the man.
The man took the medicine packet and handed it to the man beside him.
"In that case, we'll take our leave. I'll look for you again in three days.”
Li Zimo cupped his hands in farewell.
"I await your good news."
……
After they left the clinic, they got into the carriage.
The carriage headed south toward the imperial city of Chang 'an.
On the carriage, the middle-aged man looked at the burly man in front of him.
"Li Jing, what do you think of Doctor Li?”
Li Jing didn't dare to delay and immediately cupped his hands.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, since Doctor Li can cure my housekeeper's blood sickness, it shouldn't be difficult to cure Her Highness!”
Li Shi Min frowned slightly.
"But he said that he could cure the disease in three days. If there really is such a divine doctor in the world, how different is he from an immortal?”
Li Jing cupped his hands again.
"Your Majesty, the princess's life is in danger now. No matter what, let's give it a try.”
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jing and pondered for a moment.
"Since that's the case, then we'll do as you say. If Gao Yang's illness does not improve after three days, we'll throw this quack into the death prison and choose a day to behead him.”
"Yes, sir!"
……
The two people in the carriage were the current Emperor, Li Shimin, and the Defender General, Li Jing.
A month ago, Princess Gao Yang caught a cold.
The imperial physicians in the palace did not take it seriously and simply prescribed medicine to treat him.
However, she did not expect her condition to become more serious. Not only did she have a high fever, but she even vomited blood.
Princess Gao Yang was one of Li Shi Min's most beloved daughters.
Seeing her being tortured by her illness, no one would feel good.
Just a few days ago, Li Jing suddenly came to report that his butler had an incurable blood disease. Even the imperial doctor said that he did not have long to live.
However, he did not expect that he would be cured by a folk herbalist.
Hearing this news, Li Shimin was skeptical. He wanted to summon the doctor into the palace for treatment, but he was worried that this would attract the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Physician Department and the civil officials.
Therefore, he took Princess Gao Yang out of the palace to look for this imperial physician.
That was how the scene just now happened.
Li Er was surprised to see this doctor for the first time.
This person looked like he was only twenty years old. How could he be a divine doctor?
However, the act of treating the patient first and then collecting the money was particularly different.
……
After returning to the palace, Li Er immediately gave orders to taste the medicine.
The system of tasting medicine in the palace was also very complicated. After the medicine was made, it had to be supervised by one person from each of the officials of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, the officials under the door, and the generals of the guards.
After that, it would be tasted by the medical assistant and related people. After tasting it, it would be sealed. Finally, everyone present would have to sign their names.
On the day that the Emperor or the imperial relatives wanted to eat it, Feng Yu and the palace supervisor had to taste it. Only when there was no problem could they give it to the Emperor and the others.
Medicine was 30% poisonous. No one knew if this medicine was poison or not.
A day passed, and the person who tasted the medicine did not feel uncomfortable.
Only then did Li Er feel relieved to let Princess Gao Yang consume it.
……
Today, after the morning court session.
Li Er was reading memorials in the royal study.
At this moment, Gonggong Wuque hurriedly came to report.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Gao Yang's illness has recovered!”
Pa!
The memorial in Li Er's hand fell to the ground and he froze.
