Chapter 86: Everything is ready
When the news spread, the officials and the nobles in the harem were confused.
Your Majesty has not been to court for three days, so he only asked Fang Xuanling to pick up some important things and let people report them. Often after the report, the news sank to the sea and there is no more news.
Chen Zhengtai also felt irritable. His Majesty has tried many surgeries in the past few days, but the results of the surgery are not ideal.
There was even a dog who died directly.
This is actually understandable. After all, if you cut someone's skin and flesh, then use a drill bit to drill holes on the other person's legs, then put iron nails and iron plates, no one can stand it.
After all, this is iron. Although it is disinfected with strong alcohol, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs. Those penicillins are all Chen Zhengtai’s treasures. Where can Chen Zhengtai use them at this time?
The failure of the operation is almost inevitable.
Nowadays, the trials are just to familiarize Li Shimin with the process of the surgery.
In the harem, Doctor Wang was called to Empress Changsun's bedroom.
Empress Changsun had already visited Li Chengqian. She was angry and anxious. The prince ran to ride a horse all day long, but she even broke it. But seeing her beloved son like this, she felt panic in her heart, and she couldn't bear to scold those reproaches!
Changsun Wuji had already entered the palace and left the left and right. He looked at Empress Changsun with a bad expression and said, "A sister, Chengqian has suffered such a huge disaster this time. I haven't slept well for my brother all night. The more I think about it... the more I feel scared."
Empress Changsun stared at her brother and frowned slightly: "What do you have to say, but it's okay to say it."
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "The emperor is a civil and military strategy... There are no outsiders here. Let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty has always regarded the royal face as a top priority. Now Cheng Qian is lame, and a lame prince has appeared in the Zhenguan Dynasty. Now the emperor feels sorry for his beloved son, but for the long term... I am afraid... the emperor wants to imitate Emperor Wen of Sui."
Emperor Wen of Sui deposed the crown prince Yang Yong and established Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. How could Empress Changsun not know this allusion?
Her brows frowned even deeper.
"Now Li Tai is young, Li Zhi is still in his infancy. Once something happens, I am afraid that the world will change its ownership."
Changsun Wuji has always been in good relationships with Li Shimin, and he knows Li Shimin best. He is a person who regards face as much as he wants. Although Li Shimin now loves Li Chengqian, what can he do?
After all, Li Erlang is the emperor, and sooner or later he will favor other concubines. Such things have happened many times in history, so you must be careful.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she was displeased and couldn't help but say, "At this time, is the elder brother still only concerned about the honor and disgrace of the Changsun family? My son is in so much pain now, are you still thinking about this?"
Changsun Wuji also showed a look of shame and said only that.
Empress Changsun said, "I heard that Your Majesty's disciple Chen Zhengtai has taken a treatment method. Your Majesty has been forgetting to eat and sleep for the past few days and ignores the court affairs, just for Chengqian's injuries."
"Chen Zhengtai..." Changsun Wuji showed a complicated expression on his face when he talked about Chen Zhengtai, and said, "This boy is the best at flattery, for his brother's sake... he just wants to his Majesty."
Empress Changsun felt a little confused. After all, she was a mother. Even though she was very wise, she was a little disobedient at this time. She couldn't help but look at Changsun Wuji: "Don't you always guess the emperor's heart?"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but think, am I guessing that Di Xin can be the same as that kid? The girl has never seen how that guy is sharp-tongued and makes His Majesty happy.
Empress Changsun sighed and said worriedly: "I only look forward to Chengqian being safe and sound. Alas... I have summoned Doctor Wang to come and want to hear his idea."
Sure enough, at this time, the Imperial Doctor Wang arrived, and he bowed deeply to Empress Changsun: "I have met the Empress."
Empress Changsun said urgently: "I heard that you are good at orthopedics. The prince's leg is sick. You have seen it. Can you treat it?"
Doctor Wang said seriously: "If you say back to the Empress, you can't."
Empress Changsun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley and said, "But didn't Chen Zhengtai say there was a glimmer of hope?"
The doctor Wang said earnestly: "Empress, I am not slandering Erpigou County Duke, but he is just a young man. How can I know the treatment method of orthopedics? I have been in orthopedics for forty years and have long had the experience. Your Highness the Crown Prince has broken bones. How can there be a reason for regeneration after breaking bones?"
Empress Changsun stopped talking.
Her face was pale and she was in a state of silence.
Changsun Wuji took the opportunity to say, "Girl, I think... I should advise Your Majesty on this matter..."
"I think about it again..." Empress Changsun sighed quietly, closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell on her cheeks: "You all retreat, I am exhausted."
...
For several days, Li Shimin was not very accurate in taking this. In fact... almost all the animals he had passed through his hands had no recovery from their leg injuries.
Either the wound ulcerated after a few days, or the operation was extremely unsuccessful, and the positions of the steel nails and bone plates were deviated.
Li Shimin seemed very tired.
For the operation, he wore tight clothes. Because he had not had a good sleep for many days, he looked a little tired.
During this process, Chen Zhengtai kept working with him. At this time... after connecting a dog's leg bone, he looked up and looked out of the dark room, and the sky was dim.
A full moon hangs high, emitting bright light. The glimmer of light fell on the corridor outside the dark room, and Li Shimin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"When is it?" Li Shimin asked.
Chen Zhengtai: "…"
Please, I don’t know where we are in this dark room together!
"Let's go, go out for a walk." Li Shimin sighed.
Chen Zhengtai nodded and then arrived at the corridor.
Li Shimin carried his hands behind his back, and the vicinity was very quiet. There were only eunuchs and imperial guards surrounding the Imperial Hospital inside and outside, hiding in the shadows, like wooden stakes, without making any sound.
Li Shimin sighed: "I have been more worried these days. Even cats and dogs are like this. Chengqian... can he really treat them?"
Chen Zhengtai was also very tired and irritable at this time, and couldn't help but complain, then if you didn't say it earlier, I wouldn't bother with this before.
Of course, you can't say anything about the emperor. Chen Zhengtai said: "Planning depends on others, and success depends on heaven. Just do your best."
When Li Shimin heard the eight words "planning is in the world" and "achievement is in the world", he was stunned and couldn't help but chewing on this words, and said in surprise: "You always say that you have no talent and don't know poetry, but there are always a few refreshing words in your mouth."
Chen Zhengtai smiled bitterly and said, "The students didn't expect it to pop out."
Because of this, Li Shimin seemed to have eliminated the fatigue on his face, and then said, "What you said is reasonable. If you say that you can follow the trend, how can the Tang Dynasty win the world, and how can I become the emperor? This is because I am unwilling to accept it. Now... Chengqian is like this, I will never allow my prince to be laughed at. I will teach him to recover as before. When will the operation begin?"
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said, "The eleventh day has passed. The student sent someone to inquire. The swelling on his junior brother's legs has subsided, and his mood is still stable. The student has also prepared some medicines and bone-spinning equipment, so... the faster the better now."
Li Shimin breathed and said, "It's good that way, then... let's go tomorrow. I will order someone to bring the prince here tomorrow and we will start."
Chen Zhengtai nodded.
"By the way." Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a suspicious look: "I have remembered something in the past few days. Your father, not long after he went to Li Jiancheng's East Palace, the fake prince Li Jiancheng was executed. And I ordered you to be the prince's servant not long ago..."
Chen Zhengtai's face suddenly changed, and Chen Zhengtai's wail came from the quiet night sky: "Mr., you can't say that..."
When this roar was originally dark, countless lights were lit in the Imperial Hospital, and many people were awakened. Even the eunuchs and the guards standing in the corner were suddenly cheered up.
Li Shimin immediately roared in a low voice: "I just said casually, what are you doing?"
Chen Zhengtai thinks that you can say good things and bad things.
Li Shimin slapped Chen Zhengtai's shoulder with his palm and suddenly said moved: "I say this to tell you that no matter whether your Chen family has any disasters, you are also my disciple."
Oh, so that's it! This apprentice has not done anything in vain!
Chen Zhengtai calmed down and lowered his voice: "It is really true that students can receive such kindness as their mentor..."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Don't say anything more, go to bed, tomorrow... come here."
"promise!"
