Chapter 171 Emperor Jing’s Illness

Emperor Jing was helped to another room by several guards to rest. Li Xuan secretly gave Li Yi a thumbs up and followed him with Prince Ning.

What happened today made Li Yi secretly alert in his heart. He should stay away from these emperors and princes in the future. If the other party suddenly fainted or died suddenly like this, wouldn’t he be shot even if he was lying down?

The efficiency of the imperial physician was very slow. Li Yi was sitting here drinking a cup of tea when the two officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau came late. Of course, the price of being late was that they were scolded like grandsons by the old man with a feminine voice outside the door.

However, these two guys deserved it. As the emperor’s personal imperial physicians, why did they run around for no reason? If there was any sudden situation and they didn’t treat it in time, and the emperor ascended to heaven, I’m afraid the two of them could only use rock-paper-scissors to decide whose head should be chopped off first.

What should be done was done. Li Yi wanted to leave, but Prince Ning had just said that he should wait here first and wait for His Majesty to summon him at any time.

The idea of ​​going back to bed early could only be put aside for the time being.

He was so unlucky that he could run into the emperor while strolling around the garden. He began to wonder if he had said anything disrespectful just now. It seemed that he had, but it also seemed that he hadn't... Only a ghost could remember so much...

In this case, the Mingzhu constable was really a princess?

Why did she become a constable when she didn't want to be a princess? It was not enough for her to be a constable, but she had to drag him into the water. She was really sick...

…………

The two officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau were scolded and went into the room with their heads down to diagnose the emperor and make sure that there was nothing wrong with his majesty's health. After they left, they were scolded again.

In the room where Li Yi was, two rows of guards holding weapons and wearing armor stood in an orderly manner. Just as he picked up the second cup of tea and had no time to take a sip, a guard came out of the room and bowed, saying, "Sir Li, the emperor summoned you."

He stood up from his seat and walked to the door of another room under the guidance of the guard. From a distance, he saw Prince Ning and Li Mingzhu sitting on both sides. The man he had just seen in the garden, who he thought was a high official but was actually the emperor, was lying on the bed. There were also two women in the room, one was the Ning prince's wife, and the other was unknown.

"Your servant, Anxi County Lieutenant, greets your majesty!"

In front of the emperor, Li Yi could only kneel down and bow honestly. Fortunately, there was a thick blanket on the floor of the room, so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable kneeling on it.

"You have made great contributions to saving the emperor, so there is no need to be polite. Come, please sit down." Emperor Jing's voice was still a little weak. Soon after the voice fell, two guards brought a chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yi thanked him and just sat down, Prince Ning stepped forward and looked at the woman Li Yi didn't know and said, "This is the Queen. County Lieutenant Li needs to greet you."

Li Yi was surprised that the Emperor and Queen of Jing Kingdom didn't stay in the palace and were running around outside. It was not enough to kneel once, so he had to stand up and greet him again.

The Queen sat on the top and looked at him, with satisfaction in her eyes. His Majesty summoned him just now, and she and Princess Ning avoided him. After knowing that His Majesty was unconscious just now, she was also shocked.

Knowing that it was this young man who rescued the emperor, he naturally looked at him differently.

"Li Yi, Anxi County, you have made great contributions to saving the emperor. How do you want me to reward you?"

Li Yi was delighted when he heard this. How about taking this opportunity to let the emperor take back his order and stop him from being a county lieutenant?

However, the position of county lieutenant was not long ago, and he had not had time to take office. If he asked to resign, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?

As the saying goes, the emperor never jokes. The ancient emperor seemed to take this matter very seriously. If such a request was made, would it anger him?

Forget it, I won't take the risk.

He put his hands on his thighs honestly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is well, which is the greatest reward from heaven to me. I dare not ask for credit again."

He was not that stupid. The emperor asked this question just to be polite. He should reward as he should. No matter how much he said, it would be better to flatter him.

Li Xuan, who was standing aside, almost couldn't hold back his breath when he heard this.

No matter how he listened to this, it didn't sound like he could say it.

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. I reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have committed crimes." Emperor Jing was very pleased with his words. There was a hint of smile on his pale face. He said: "Li Yi, come forward to listen to the reward!"

Li Yi's face couldn't help but bitter. Well, he had to kneel again after sitting down for a while.

"Li Yi of Anxi County, for saving the emperor, is awarded 100 pieces of silk, 100 acres of fertile land, and 10,000 gold!"

He was not given an official title, but the material rewards were quite a lot. Li Yi was not too touched by the 100 pieces of silk and 100 acres of fertile land, but the sentence "10,000 gold" at the end really scared him.

According to the market price, 10,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver, and 1 tael of silver can be exchanged for about 1,000 copper coins. How much is 100,000 times 1,000?

Fan Zheng is a lot.

With 10,000 taels of gold, why sell Ruyi Lu and strong liquor? He will not do the business of perfume and soap anymore. He can go back home to guard the gold mountain and the 100 acres of fertile land, and live happily with Ruyi as a landlord for the rest of his life.

In an instant, Li Yi's favorability towards the emperor rose.

Such a generous emperor must be a good emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This time, he bowed sincerely.

"Li Yi, can you cure my father's illness?" When he returned to his seat again, a crisp voice came over.

When he turned around, he found that Li Mingzhu was looking at him with burning eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Yi.

"I wonder what disease your majesty is suffering from?" Li Yi still didn't know what disease the emperor had. Fainting for no reason should not be a simple disease.

"Asthma?"

The two imperial doctors were summoned in. After listening to their descriptions, Li Yi had a general idea in his mind.

The asthma they were talking about should be asthma.

Asthma is not a good disease. Even in modern times, there seems to be no cure. Li Yi shook his head while searching for information in his mind and said, "This disease is extremely difficult to cure. We can only take more precautions in normal times and reduce the number of times it occurs."

Li Yi is not a doctor. Moreover, even if modern doctors are here, they can't do anything about it without those special medicines. To be able to be an imperial doctor in the palace, they must be very skilled. Even they can't cure it, let alone Li Yi.

He could only tell them some daily precautions from the perspective of avoiding contact with allergens, such as drying bedding frequently, opening windows for ventilation frequently, keeping the room clean, and recommending the use of soap produced by Ruyi...

In terms of diet, eat less seafood, eat more red dates, lotus seeds, yam, etc...

These things are all in the book. Li Yi organized the wording. The guards had already taken paper and pen, and two imperial doctors were writing furiously. Li Yi took a glance and didn't recognize any of the words written on the paper.

It seems that the prescription system is not unique to Western medicine in that world. I just hope that I can recognize the words they wrote tomorrow...
