The hunting team brought several imperial doctors, including the authority in surgery. But there was nothing to do with the prince's legs.

Li Shimin sent someone to return to Xiangyang, summoned all the imperial doctors left on Yuliangzhou, and sent people to recruit doctors from all over the south of Shannan. One by one, the doctors were sent by quick horses, but they were worried about the prince's situation and were helpless.

Li Chao cannot enter the prince's tent now, and Li Shimin stayed by the prince's side in an endless manner. Li Chao, who spoke out to chop off the prince's injured leg, did not want to see him.

"How is the prince's condition?" Li Chao asked Ma Zhou, the secretary of the Secretariat and the prince's clerk.

Ma Zhou was also the prince's teacher and an important member of the emperor. He had the opportunity to come in to see the prince. After coming out from there, Ma Zhou looked very bad.

"The prince has been in a coma these two days, has had a high fever, and even talks nonsense. The situation is not very good. Prime Minister, is your highness really cured?"

Li Chao shook his head.

"Your Highness's leg is injured too seriously. Unless Hua Tuo is alive, no one will have this rejuvenation technique. The leg cannot be cured. The key is that it cannot endanger the prince's body. If you have an amputation earlier, you can still install a prosthetic limb in the future, and the prince can still leave. But if it is delayed, complications or infections will be fatal."

"The imperial doctors have strictly disinfected it and should not be infected."

"Infection is not only an infection of the surface wound, but also a infection of bone marrow, and bone marrow inflammation. In short, it will be very troublesome. The prince's symptoms now are actually symptoms of infection, such as coma, fever, nonsense, and headache, which is very dangerous. You must advise Your Majesty to make a decision early, and it is still too late to cut it off now." Infection can be more serious than complications of fractures, especially this kind of wound infection. Once it becomes serious, edema, shock, coma, and even death will occur.

Ma Zhou sighed.

"Your Majesty likes the prince very much and always thinks he is smart and wise and spiritual. He is the eldest son and has a kindness. He is young and has been deeply loved by his subjects."

Such an excellent crown prince is now going to cut off one foot.

Of course, it is difficult for the emperor to accept it. Not to mention the emperor, even the prince Ma Zhou, the teacher, could not accept it. If one foot is missing, he will become a cripple.

The prince is only eight years old and becomes a cripple. This will bring a serious problem. Can the lame Chengqian continue to be the crown prince? No matter how the emperor likes Chengqian, once Chengqian is amputated, his status as the crown prince will be shaken.

"It's not that scary to cut off half of your legs, it's safe."

Li Chao said that he was also very heavy in his heart, but what he was considering now is not the issue of the prince missing half of his legs in the future. The first thing he is considering now is the prince's current life safety. If even his life is gone, what's the point of keeping that leg?

"Is there really no way to protect Your Highness's legs? Even if you don't walk so smoothly in the future, it doesn't matter." Ma Zhou said. It's a bit lame and cutting off half of your legs directly, which are completely different things.

Li Chao shook his head.

"Don't you know Sun Simiao, a master of folk medicine? He will definitely be able to cure the prince's legs, right?"

Sun Simiao was very skilled in medical treatment. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian and his son summoned him to the court several times to be appointed as officials, but Sun Simiao was a idle figure who was like a wild crane. He walked around the world to save the world, but he was unwilling to eat official food. Especially this person often saw the head but didn't see the tail, so it was difficult to find others.

Now that the prince is in the situation, there is no time to slowly beat Sun Siming. When the person is found, the prince who has been infected will probably die.

Besides, Li Chao didn't believe that Sun Simiao had this ability.

There are specialties in the profession, and medical skills are divided into many subjects, and doctors are not omnipotent.

Ma Zhou sighed again.

"The prince is only eight years old, so wise and virtuous, why doesn't God open his eyes?"

This incident cannot be said to be a blame on the prince. It was just an accident. Could it be that God didn’t want Cheng Qian to be the prince? Ma Zhou couldn’t help but think, but where did the prince lose his morality again?

Or because of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Chengqian's father made a mistake, but Chengqian had to take responsibility.

"I can't wait any longer, for three days. The prince's situation will only get worse and worse. If it continues, the prince will be in danger of his life at any time. I must see Your Majesty immediately and persuade Your Majesty."

"But Your Majesty is not willing to see you at all now. He has issued an order to the guards early to prohibit you from going there."

Li Chao stood up, "I must see you!"

After saying that, he went straight out of the tent, and Ma Zhou couldn't even shout from behind.

Outside the prince's tent, a team of guards stood guard and were very dedicated. The team of guards in the East Palace who followed the prince that day had all been beheaded and executed. Even if it was an accident, the prince fell off his horse and was injured, and they were seriously dereliction of duty.

The emperor was furious and no one persuaded him to stay, and a team of guards were killed directly.

The children of Xunqi were better, with higher status, but were all deprived of their posts. Xun and were beaten forty times, and they were beaten one by one and were still lying in the tent and unable to move.

As soon as Li Chao got closer, he pointed his spears at him.

The first important official of the dynasty, the emperor's in-laws, the prince's father-in-law and his teacher, Li Xiangguo, were rejected from the tent.

"Get out of the way, I want to see Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!" Li Chao ordered.

"Suang Li, Your Majesty has an order, I don't want to see you. We are also on duty to obey the order. Don't let us do it." An officer bowed to Li Chao helplessly.

Li Chao snorted coldly and rushed in. The guards held a spear but did not dare to stab him. They could only retreat. Li Chao rushed in with his chest. The guards retreated twenty steps in front of the tent, refused to retreat again, blocking the way.

"Let me in!"

"Li Xiang, come back!"

"Your Majesty, I am Li Chao asking for a meeting!"

Li Chao shouted into the tent.

After a while, the tent was lifted and the eunuch of the king came out.

He said to the guard officer, "General Zhao, Your Majesty ordered you to ask the Prime Minister Li to come in."

The soldiers retreated, and Li Chao followed the eunuch to enter the tent.

The eunuch Wang looked at Li Chao a few times. After three days of not seeing him, Li Chao was still in a very embarrassed state, his eyes were still blue and his nose was swollen.

"Suang Li, Your Majesty is in a bad mood at this time, why do you have to do this? This will only make Your Majesty feel even more unhappy."

"Thank you for your reminder from the eunuch, but it is related to the safety of the prince, so I have to make this decision."

When he arrived in the tent, Li Chao bowed to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin just snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, can you ask me to check the prince's injuries?"

Li Shimin still just snorted coldly in response.

Li Chao stepped forward and checked it carefully.

The imperial doctors had bone-correcting and splints on the prince, and the wound was treated, but the wound was indeed infected, swollen, and pus. Moreover, the prince was very hot, the prince was unconscious and was talking nonsense.

Li Chao felt very upset. After being with the prince for a long time, he really treated the prince as his son, and there was a relationship between the two.

When Li Shimin saw Li Chao's eyes red and tears, he sighed in his heart, and his resentment towards Li Chao was slightly removed.

"I gave the prince to you, but you didn't take good care of the prince. I am very disappointed."

"I am guilty of dereliction of duty!"

"Your Majesty, the situation of the prince is very critical now. In the past few days, I believe that the imperial doctors in the palace and doctors from all over the country have also told Your Majesty about the prince's situation. The current situation of the prince is that his legs cannot be cured. Not only is it not cured, but his legs are also beginning to be infected. The situation is getting worse and worse. If you drag it down, it will be even more dangerous. I ask Your Majesty to allow the imperial doctors to amputate the prince immediately."

Li Shimin had tears in his eyes. He raised his head and did not let the tears flow out. When there was no one, he shed tears, but now he doesn't want to cry in front of Li Chao.

The imperial physicians also advised him that amputation is safer, but Li Shimin cannot leave the decision.

"Your Majesty, at the critical moment, a hero can also cut off his wrist. Only by amputating his limbs can the prince's life be saved!"

“Is amputation safe?”

Li Shimin used to fight for many years and saw too many injured soldiers with broken arms and legs. Many injured soldiers were amputated, but amputations were also very dangerous and had a very high mortality rate.

"Your Majesty, at present, the risk of amputation is not high, but the risk of not amputation is extremely high."

"I shouldn't have let the prince come. I should have let the prince stay in Xiangyang and accompany Guanyin maid." Li Shimin murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly!"

Li Shimin was silent. After a while, he asked someone to call the imperial doctor and the doctors invited from the local area in, and then asked them for their opinions.

"Now, can you really only be amputated?"

The doctors nodded heavily.

"Then... stop it!"

Li Shimin issued the most difficult order.

"If there is something happening after the prince amputation, I want all of you to be buried with you!" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face. Sitting in front of the prince's bed, the emperor at this time had already lost his mind.

Li Chao asked someone to prepare a surgical tent, which comprehensively disinfected the inside, and also disinfected all the saws used for surgery, and the doctors' clothes were newly prepared.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.

The prince was sent to the surgical tent. Li Chao put on a white robe and a mask. He sent the prince in with Li Shimin, and then stood aside to watch the operation.

After drinking the prince's anesthetic medicine soup, an old imperial doctor walked over with a saw.

Li Shimin raised his hand to stop it, but in the end he could not help but let it go.

The old imperial doctor began to prepare for amputation.

Everyone in the tent was staring at the old imperial doctor and the saw.

Li Chao turned his back and he couldn't watch it.

The old imperial doctor held the saw and was unable to do anything. This was the leg of His Royal Highness. After the sawing, the leg of the prince was gone.

Li Chao walked out of the tent, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed to the sky.

"Prime Minister!"

In the distance, Ke Qing's shout came.

Seeing that it was Ke Qing, Li Chao suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. On the day of the accident, Li Chao sent Ke Qing out and asked him to inquire about Sun Simiao's news, and now he is finally back.

Li Chao turned around and ran into the tent.

Li Chao rushed in after lifting the tent.

The old imperial doctor had already wiped the medicinal wine on the prince's leg and was about to take action.
