Thirty miles away from the east gate of the capital is the largest wharf in the river.

Merchant ships kept coming and going, and even the cruise ships bought by the big shots were docked on the shore of the pier. As a result, a fairly affluent town formed around the pier, which was very lively.

The fifth prince came with people, but quietly avoided them and got on a cruise ship.

The guy on the cruise ship saluted him respectfully, as if he was not surprised, he just opened the curtain to invite him in, and lowered his voice: "The prince is already waiting inside, old room."

"Ah."

The fifth prince responded lightly, and arrived at the room on the right at the end with ease.

The windows were slightly open, and the wind from the deck was pouring into the house, carrying a bit of moisture from the river, but the room was warm with wine, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing.

There was a person sitting in front of the small table on the couch, holding a white piece and thinking about the chess game, with a faint look in his eyes.

"Uncle." The fifth prince stepped into it and bowed respectfully.

Only then did the person on the couch come back in an orderly manner, put down the chess piece, patted the other side of the chessboard with pursed lips, and motioned him to sit opposite him.

The fifth prince stepped forward and took a seat, seeing that the chessboard was already in a mess, he looked up at the person opposite.

The man on the opposite side was dressed in a simple white robe, with only a blue belt hanging around his waist, his hair was tied up high with a blue cloth belt, his brows were full of the gentleness of a literati, his smiling eyes were focused on As for the chessboard, it somehow made people feel relieved.

"Uncle, I came here today because something happened in the court."

"Say."

The man spoke lightly, but his voice was somewhat hoarse. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see a flesh-colored scar on his neck. It seemed that he had healed up for a long time, but his voice was hoarse.

The fifth prince talked about the prime minister's confrontation with him, and then added fuel and jealousy: "The prime minister looks upright and neutral, but in fact, he only thinks about my useless younger brothers. Don't you still hate my mother and concubine's background?"

"Your concubine mother and my wife are sisters of the same father and mother. They were born as beautiful as flowers, and they are used to judging the situation. It's just because the family they were born in was only a small civil servant in the troubled times. It is different from the prime minister. If you are a comrade, how could he despise you?"

The man raised his eyes lightly, and looked at the fifth prince with a little kindness in his eyes.

The fifth prince frowned: "He just wants to fight against me. Uncle knows best what to do at this time. Hurry up and teach my nephew."

"Um--"

The man dragged his voice, swept the chessboard of the endgame, and got up slowly to pour tea at the table, with his back to the fifth prince, making his expression invisible.

The fifth prince was full of doubts.

He heard the man say: "The prime minister's foundation is very stable, and the emperor points to him as a pillar. It is not easy for you to eradicate him. You might as well look at the mice around the prime minister and solve it properly."

After finishing speaking, before the Fifth Prince could continue to ask questions, the man had already issued the order to evict the guest.

The fifth prince left angrily.

And the subordinate also let the cruise ship leave the pier and go downstream, put down all the curtains, stepped into the house, and asked the man respectfully: "My lord, don't we care about the next thing?"

"The idea of ​​the five princes is all on the prime minister's head. He is also arrogant. When he finds his way, let's forget it. He will go back to the fief for two months and wait for the turmoil to subside."

Across the mountains in the distance, the man looked in the direction of the capital, which was very meaningful.

……

Other courtyard.

Xia Bai'an's spine felt inexplicably cold, and she was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

"Gululu—" The potion in the instrument was already boiling and bubbling.

Hearing the sound, Xia Bai'an came back to his senses, and hastily poured the medicine inside into the teapot to let it cool down. The cries of various patients could be heard behind her. I have studied the medicines for several days and put them together one by one. After adding the medicines and stirring them, I put them on a simple distiller.

"The final process."

She stared at the instrument in front of her seriously, not paying much attention to the momentary chill.

Behind him, Dr. Xu was woken up by the patients, walked in with two dark circles under his eyes, and reminded: "Dr. Xia, today the Imperial Palace sent an imperial doctor to see how Fang Zi is doing. Do you remember..."

"not see."

Xia Bai'an rubbed his sore eyes, "My prescription is at the most important time, and I don't have time to see them for now, so please ask Dr. Xu to go there for me."

"That's the Imperial Physician in the palace, you entrust me to go there, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate."

Dr. Xu woke up instantly.

Isn't Xia Bai'an afraid that he will directly take the credit in front of the imperial physician?

"There's nothing wrong with it, trouble."

Xia Bai'an didn't raise his head.

Doctor Xu's heart was beating wildly, thinking that he was going to see the imperial physician in the palace, he hurriedly changed into a set of clean clothes, and brought some food for Xia Bai'an, and then went to entertain several imperial physicians.

Several imperial physicians kept a low profile when they came, and then gathered together to look at Xia Bai'an's prescription, and then at Ma Tongzhou who had recovered, and couldn't help but marvel: "It's amazing that the distillation method is also useful."

"According to the brochure, Ma Tongzhou tried the medicine six times, and he is almost healed? Let me see."

"These prescriptions for the epidemic, I have never heard of them, let alone seen them."

Several imperial physicians secretly praised it.

While a few people were talking, a woman's scream came from the backyard: "I'm alive! I'm really alive!"

Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and they all went to the backyard to have a look.

In the backyard, Xia Bai'an was feeding medicine to a patient in the corridor, Cuihua helped him up, and two children were beside him carrying the medicine box and things, while the man's face was pale, but his eyes slowly opened Come: "I... I'm still alive."

"How do you feel?" Xia Bai'an fed the medicine, put the person down again, took out a charcoal pencil, and took out two crumpled papers, "Chest tightness, shortness of breath, fainting, these symptoms are still there, serious ?"

"I'm a little dizzy, but my chest is no longer stuffy, and my breath...is still there." The man said in a daze, while his mother was kneeling beside him, crying and screaming for the Bodhisattva to live.

Xia Bai'an wrote them down one by one, and said: "You have already taken three doses of medicine, today's is the latest one, call your wife to knock on the door in three hours, and take another one, if you can sleep well at night Feeling, no symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, no vomiting or diarrhea for twelve hours, that's enough."

"Okay, thank you, the living Bodhisattva!"

His wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

When Xia Bai'an got up, he helped her up, briefly said about his responsibilities, and then waved to Cuihua and the two children: "Next."

Cuihua and her son and daughter hurried to lead the way.

Xia Bai'an followed behind them, looking down at the symptoms of the patients, but was suddenly stopped by someone, she looked up, and saw Dr. Xu coughing at her: "Everyone from Tai Hospital is here, you should ..."

"There are still two patients who need to take medicine in half a quarter, and there is no time to see the imperial physician."
