Can't cure

After hearing Zuo Shaoyang said this, Li Shimin then secretly breathed, his expression relaxed, and said, "Doctor Zuo, is this disease of the Supreme Emperor important?"

"important!"

"Is it easy to cure?"

"It's not easy to cure!"

"Then--" Li Shimin became nervous, "Can you cure this disease of the Supreme Emperor?"

He first called Zuo Shaoyang a miracle doctor, and later changed it to the respectful name "Mr.". This subconscious change in the name also shows Li Shimin's importance to this matter. He now knows that Zuo Shaoyang, a miracle doctor, is like a cat, can only comfort him and cannot reverse the hair, otherwise he will jump up and catch people. To put it nicely, Zuo Shaoyang also asked him to use snacks to treat him.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Please bring all the medical prescriptions that the Imperial Medical Office has treated the Emperor with me."

Li Shimin glanced at Eunuch Luo, who hurried to the door and ordered the eunuch to get the prescription for the treatment of the Supreme Emperor.

The prescription was brought quickly, and Zuo Shaoyang saw it very quickly. After seeing it, he stood up, solemnly placed the prescription on the round stool, and bowed to Emperor Li Shimin: "My medicine is the same as the imperial physician. They can't cure it, and I can't cure it either. Sorry, I can't do anything."

Li Shimin was disappointed and looked at his father who was lying on the bed and muttering endlessly. He looked at Zuo Shaoyang again. Seeing that he was expressionless, he was looking at him. The bald head on his head looked like a one-eyed one-eyed, and was smiling at him for no reason.

Li Shimin whispered: "What sir said is the truth?"

"Is it true that this is the truth? I can't cure the Emperor's disease. Say goodbye!" After that, he also cared whether the emperor was accurate or not, so he walked out of the bedroom. Xiao Du Ming hurriedly chased after him with the medicine box on his back.

Xiao Yunfei apologized at Li Shimin and followed him out.

Xiao Meiniang looked at Zuo Shaoyang's back, thoughtfully, and whispered: "Your Majesty, from me, Zuo Shaoyang is not incurable, but he dares not!"

Li Shimin was shocked and said happily: "What I mean by beloved concubine is that he can actually cure it, but he just dare not cure it for some reason?"

“That’s right!”

"What's the reason?"

"I don't know."

"How can the beloved concubine know whether he can be cured or not?"

Xiao Meiniang said, "He traveled all the way to the capital to treat the Supreme Emperor. Although he was invited by my concubine, he was not stupid. He should know that the emperor invited him to treat the Supreme Emperor. This is the supreme glory of the doctor. After he came, if he really couldn't cure the Supreme Emperor's disease, he would be ashamed. However, after Mr. Zuo diagnosed the disease, he determined that he had pulmonary impotence and asked the imperial physician's prescription, but he said with a stern face that he could not cure it. He did not look at all ashamed. This means that he could not cure it, but he did not dare to treat it or did not want to treat it!"

"Don't want to be treated?" Li Shimin said with a sinister face: "I am worthy of him, right? Although I have been detained for a year and scared him half to death on the court, I have given him ordinary people and given him Princess Feiyang, treating him with great respect. What else should he do? Even if he hates me, he shouldn't take his anger on the Supreme Emperor."

Xiao Meiniang smiled and said, "I said he didn't want to treat it, but he was afraid of it. So to be precise, he should not dare to treat it. As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years."

Li Shimin felt something: "What is the beloved concubine? The Emperor's disease must be treated with a Zihe Cart? Zuo Shaoyang was worried that I would be angry when he said it, so he simply said that it would not be cured?"

"I don't know if I don't know whether some medicine has been contraindicated or the treatment method is very inappropriate. I was afraid that the emperor would blame me if he knew about it, so I said that it would not be cured. This is just my guess. Only Mr. Zuo himself knows what happened."

Li Shimin said: "Or why should I ask for help from the concubine in private to see what happened? Can Zuo Shaoyang cure the Emperor's disease? What are the taboo things or things? I can only decide whether to use them if I say it."

"I infer that this time I am afraid it's even more inappropriate than Zihe Cart, so he didn't even say it because he knew the emperor wouldn't agree. Let's wait for me to find out. Anyway, the emperor's illness has been delayed for a long time, and it will not be cured for a while, so there is no need to be anxious."

The two agreed that Xiao Meiniang left the bedroom and came to the palace gate. Zuo Shaoyang, Xiao Yunfei and Du Ming were waiting there. Xiao Meiniang smiled and said, "Yun'er, where are you planning to live?"

Xiao Yunfei hesitated and returned to the capital, so he naturally lived with his mother to tell the story of parting, but he couldn't bear to leave Zuo Shaoyang alone at home. Before she could make a decision, Zuo Shaoyang had already said: "Sister Xiao, you finally returned to the capital, so you should live in the palace to accompany your mother."

Xiao Yunfei smiled gratefully and was about to speak, Xiao Meiniang had already said: "Young Master Zuo, to be honest, this time I invited you to Beijing for medical treatment, this is just one of the things. Another purpose is to be separated from me, Yun'er, and I am worried about it. I want to take this opportunity to reunite for a while. It would be better for you, Yun'er, and the Gaozu, to live in my palace, so that Yun'er can feel at ease and can live for more days, otherwise, she will always be thinking about you and living in a stable manner."

Xiao Yunfei said happily: "This idea is the best! Shaoyang, just agree!"

As he said this, Xiao Yun flew over and hugged Zuo Shaoyang's arm tightly, twisting her body to act coquettishly.

Zuo Shaoyang was actually too lazy to go back to his residence. He was only two people in the huge yard, and he was very depressed. The most important thing was that he was unwilling to face those who were hiding far away in times of danger and now came to curry favor with him. Living in the palace was just a matter of avoiding such a thing. He smiled and said, "I heard that only the emperor can live in the backyard of the palace, and there is also the eunuch, half of the man. I don't want to be a eunuch."

Xiao Yunfei burst out laughing: "You miss me, but I won't do it!" They were used to flirting in private, and they said it smoothly. When they said it, they felt inappropriate. When they blushed, they saw Xiao Meiniang looking at her with a smile, they were even more embarrassed. They ran over and called her mother, grabbed her arm and hid her face.

Xiao Meiniang patted her hand lovingly and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Your Madam Zuo doesn't have to worry about this. You only live in my bedroom and live in the same yard as Yun'er. If you want to go out, I will take you there. Don't walk around casually, so there is no problem."

Xiao Yunfei raised his face and instigated: "Yes, there are royal private books in the palace, and many of them are medical books. I asked my mother to lend them to you. You have been complaining that you are too busy and have no time to read books. This time, I was hiding in the palace to read books. It was quiet and comfortable, and I just had time to read well."

Zuo Shaoyang was immediately moved and did everything he did. He hated that he was too little when he was using the book. Although he was young and already a famous doctor, he still felt that it was not enough and needed to charge more when he was diagnosed. He copied two sets of medical books from several old miracle doctors, one for his younger apprentice Du Ming to study the other set, and the other set was left to take time to read. Of course, the original copy was still held by Zuo Gui's father. He read this medical book very well, but he still felt unsatisfied.

He originally thought that ancient medical skills were just a little bit, but since he studied the medical experiences of several old miracle doctors, this concept has changed. His modern and ancient medical skills still have many things worth learning. Not to mention anything else, the vast current experience method is an inexhaustible treasure house. Most of the medical problems he encountered in practicing medicine can find answers from current experience method.

In addition to these old miracle doctors, there were many miracle doctors before the Tang Dynasty who might have left treasure books, but they just had no chance to see them.

The printing technology of the Tang Dynasty was still very backward, so it was impossible for medical books to be published on a large scale. There were very few medical books circulating among the people. There were three places where medical books were collected on a large scale, one was the library of the Imperial Medical Office, one was the Prince's Eastern Palace, and the other was the inner courtyard of the imperial palace!

Among these three treasure houses of books, the most precious books in the inner courtyard of the palace are naturally the most precious. Many medical books are only available in the inner courtyard of the palace. So Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this.

Xiao Meiniang smiled and said, "What's the problem? Otherwise, I'll tell the emperor and let Mr. Zuo live in the library in the palace. I'll take a look at it slowly. Why bother borrowing it from time to time?"

Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed and said to the ground: "Thank you, Empress! This is so good!"

Xiao Yunfei said happily: "Mom has a way. Now you can drive him with a stick, but you won't be able to drive him away."

Zuo Shaoyang laughed dryly: "That's right, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to enjoy the royal collection of books."

Xiao Meiniang took the two back to the Daming Palace, and Emperor Li Shimin was still waiting with his father Li Yuan. Hearing Xiao Meiniang said that she would let Zuo Shaoyang go to the library to read books, but did not mention Zuo Shaoyang's treatment, she immediately understood Xiao Meiniang's intention, first luring Zuo Shaoyang to live in the library, and then thought of a way to ask why she did not treat the Supreme Emperor.

Li Shimin cherishes talents and is famous in history. Now he sees Zuo Shaoyang eager for the collection of books and has a little more affection. He agrees happily, let Zuo Shaoyang and his apprentice Du Ming live in the palace library and allow them to copy the required information.

Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed and bowed to thank him.

At that moment, Eunuch Luo personally brought Zuo Shaoyang and Du Ming to the library.

The imperial palace library is not far from the emperor's bedroom. It is a separate small courtyard. There is an eunuch on duty at the entrance. Eunuch Luo told Zuo Shaoyang that he could only read books in the library. If he needed to go out, he had to inform the eunuch of the emperor or the empress, and then he could only enter other places in the inner courtyard with a dedicated person.

Zuo Shao naturally knew these rules and agreed immediately.

Eunuch Luo asked his disciples to make two rooms in the library for their masters to live in. However, Zuo Shaoyang plunged into the pile of books and read them hungrily. Seeing the precious medical books, he asked his disciple Du Ming to copy them.
