54 Bloodletting therapy
Although he decided to make sure about Longdan's affairs the next day, when Lan Li woke up, he had no desire to get up at all.
The short body was deeply trapped in the soft feather bed, and his blue eyes looked at the sea-blue curtain slowly floating above without any focus. He felt like he was wearing nothing on his body. He touched it with his hands, and it was true.
Lan Li couldn't figure out how she got into bed. The last impression in her memory was that she was taking a bath, then fell asleep, and then...
With that fireplace in there, I actually slept so hard?
He secretly blamed himself for his carelessness, and then Renli felt a little headache.
It was not a headache, but a real headache. At the same time, he felt his throat was dry and his nose was a little blocked, and he seemed to have no strength all over his body.
Catching a cold? Have you caught a cold?
The boy lying on the bed couldn't help frowning, then raised his arm and looked at his little hand. After gestured for a while, he sighed.
"A dignified time traveler, it would be a joke if he died of a fever."
Thinking of this, Lanli looked at the surroundings, then stretched out his arms and touched the gilded bell on the bedside table with difficulty.
A crisp sound rang out, and not long after a black-haired maid hurried in, and then discovered the boy's condition, she hurried out to the door and went to seek treatment from the bachelor's.
In this era, even if you catch a cold in the cold, you will die, especially for fragile children.
The medical conditions are limited, and it is difficult for the king's children to ensure that they live successfully to adulthood, let alone ordinary people and even farmers.
Fortunately, Lanli was lucky when she was reincarnated, and someone could come to treat her in time when she was sick. So after a while, a bald, snow-white, long bearded and neat and beautiful, an old man named Paichel walked in with a medicine box. Then, under Lanli's stunned gaze, he used silver pliers to pick up a black leech that was constantly twisting from it.
"What do you want to do?"
"Bloodletting therapy is not a common method, but it is very effective. But you are too young and a child, and you can't use formal bloodletting for treatment, so I need to use leeches, don't worry, this is actually not that scary."
"I just suffered from wind and cold, why did I bleed?" Lan Li asked in surprise. He had caught a cold when he was in Fengxi Castle, but at that time, most of the scholar Krisen prescribed medicines for him. Although it felt useless, it was not as exaggerated as it is now.
"Of course this is very necessary. We all know that diseases are body fluids in the human body - ahem, I mean, child, don't worry, you will be cured soon."
"I don't need this." Lan Li looked at the other person like a fool.
There is no way to treat colds and fevers with bloodletting? This thing looks very unreliable. And remember correctly, the founding president of a superpower in his previous life was bleed and let him die.
"Good boy, this is just a little uncomfortable and it won't hurt too much, come--" The old man ignored the black-haired boy's rejection, lifted Lan Li's arm on his own, and then prepared to put the leech down.
Seeing this, the boy quickly retracted his arm, then faced the old man with a white beard, squinted his eyes and threatened: "If you dare to put it on my arm, I will go to Robert and say you tease my maid."
These words made the old man tremble and stared at the boy in front of him in shock.
"Child, how can you say that to an old man? This is not a polite thing. As a Grand Secretary who has served three kings, I think I need it-"
"Whatever you say, if you dare to let go, I will dare to complain." Lanli replied dryly.
The school town of the old town cultivated the bachelor's class throughout the Westeros continent. The bachelor's students assisted the aristocrats in various places to govern the territory, while the bachelor's students who assisted the king were called Grand Secretary, and there was only one in the country.
The Grand Secretary is responsible for taking care of the physical condition of the king and his family, managing letters from ravens from all over the country, etc. He can also attend the imperial meeting to make decisions on state affairs, and is considered an important official of the kingdom.
This is a profession that only a respected person can do. However, if you remember correctly, the senior citizen in front of you who looks like he is still a prostitute in his sixties or seventies. He remembers that he is not a good person, so he has no psychological pressure to say this.
The child seemed to be unreasonable when he got angry, so the old scholar had to settle for the second time. After prescribing a few doses of medicine, he ordered the servant to bring a brazier to bake nearby, and then told a few precautions, which was a hasty end to the treatment.
...
After such a fuss, Lan Li had no confidence in the potion prescribed by the other party. So when the Grand Secretary left, he poured the potion into the urinal and then prepared to hide in the quilt to cover his sweat.
He had no strength all over his body, and he also ate lunch on the bed. A servant brought a small table to the head of the bed, and three neatly dressed maids brought plates of fragrant food and dishes.
There are crispy white bread, fruit and vegetable salad, fried sweet tortillas, crab pie, roasted leeks, fried bacon with white beans...
So much food made Lan Li, who had been drinking fishy fish soup for a long time, a little dazzled, but in fact he didn't have much appetite.
After being fed a few strawberries by a brown-haired maid, he couldn't eat it anymore, but thinking that he had to eat more when he was sick, he barely ate a small piece of soft bread and half a tortilla. Finally, he waved his hand to signal them to retreat, and then fell into the feather bed and fell asleep.
After three consecutive days, the sudden illness finally eased.
During this period, his cheapest brother Robert came to visit him, but he left in a hurry. Obviously, there were many things to be busy. The second brother Stannis never showed up.
It is said that Stannis spent this period basically in the Harbor of Kingsland, and was preparing a fleet in full swing, and then attacking Dragonstone Island, located in the eastern ocean of Kingsland, which is now the residence of the last remnants of the Targaryen dynasty.
That's right, although the capital was occupied, the Targaryen family was not completely wiped out at this time. The queen of the king of the previous dynasty and their royal fleet had already rushed back to Longshi Island, the base camp of the Targaryen family before King's Landing fell.
All of this has nothing to do with Renli. After his condition improved, he focused on the closed fireplace in the room.
There is no hurry to do something about Longdan. The thing is there, so it is impossible for him to run away.
Not long after he left the dungeon, he planned to rest for a while, so he didn't study how to leave Hongbao and get another source of smell he smelled before.
Although the newly acquired profession is considered to "brush the level", it is obviously a long-term thing and there is no need to start immediately.
So after the first breakfast healed, he got into the narrow fireplace and began to grop carefully.
...
The short body was able to move smoothly in the open fireplace, but at first he had no gains. Until he fumbled back and forth several times, relying on his sensitive hearing, he discovered a little sign.
So he raised his hand and pressed a stone brick obliquely above the fireplace. The wall on the side of the fireplace suddenly crunched and turned, revealing a dark and deep hole.
There was a cold air inside the entrance of the cave, and a damp and moldy smell. Lanli ran out and lit a candle, and then he drilled into the entrance of the cave. But after a while, he rushed back with a look of bad luck.
"If you practice the secret path, you will practice the secret path. What maze do you practice?"
Murmuring, he blew out the candle in his hand and fumbled the switch just now, so the entrance to the secret passage flipped and closed again.
Then Lanley squatted in front of the fireplace and fell into thought.
Although the Red Fort was conducting a rigorous search because of his remarks two days ago, judging from the words of the servants, no one seemed to have discovered the real entrance to such secret passages.
At first he claimed that there was a secret passage just to get rid of his brother Robert's custody and find a reasonable explanation for his place of visit. As a result, the more he contacted, the more he paid attention to it, and now he has even reached the point where he must solve it.
Before, Lan Li had the intention to think about whether he could use this secret passage. Not to mention anything else, if this secret passage could lead to outside the Red Fort, it would be much more convenient for him who was "contained".
However, now Lan Li believes that this secret passage must not be left.
At present, the most important thing for him is his smooth growth. Other issues, whether it is the title that may be awarded in the future, how long the Baratheon dynasty can last, or even explore the mysterious gold fingers, are secondary.
The secret passage in front of me is already a serious threat, because it is well-connected and seems to be able to connect with all the rooms in Meige Tower. Even if Lan Li moves out of this room, he can't avoid it. Meige Tower is already the safest place in Red Fort. It's at this level, what about other buildings outside?
Lan Li doesn't feel that he can leave Red Fort or even King's Landing in a short time, which means that he may live here for a long time.
He could consider killing the one who knew the secret and completely occupying the secret, but he could not guarantee that only Navaris knew the secret.
Therefore, the most effective and fastest way to solve hidden dangers is to expose this new discovery to the public and be known to everyone.
It just needs to be considered how to expose it.
This situation is different from when he was in Fengxi Castle. At that time, he had no worries because everyone was familiar with each other. However, the forces in Junlin and even Red Castle were mixed up. It is hard to say that they are all friends with the Baratheon family. He is still young and he can't stand it just a cold, so he doesn't want to be noticed again, especially about the secret passage, he has mentioned it once.
Secretly turn on all switches in other rooms?
