Chapter 233： Stealing the chicken will lose the rice

After a while, an old man with a gray beard walked in and said with a serious face: "Little baby, how dare you bring medicine into the palace privately? Take it and show it to me, this is not a place for you to mess around."

The Xiao family is getting more and more outrageous. They actually find such a young child to treat His Highness. If she can take good care of His Highness, old guys like her can lie down in the coffin.

Ying Bao frowned and turned to glare at Xiao Mo: "Uncle Xiao, if you can't use my medicine, why did you ask me to come?"

Which one of you here is not better than her in medical skills? I guess they have tried all the remedies.

If she didn't use her medicine, why would she be a little baby coming to join in the fun?

Xiao Mo was a little embarrassed by the little baby's question, so he said to Yao Yuanzheng: "Yao Yuanzheng, this woman has followed the instructions of the saint to come to see His Highness. Naturally, the medicines she brought... will be carefully tested, and if there is no obstruction, they will be given to His Highness. Give it a try.”

Yao Yuanzheng looked a little unhappy and said coldly: "You are so childish, what do you think of us?"

Aren’t their medical skills better than those of a few-year-old baby? Or is it that the Xiao family has become seriously ill and has sought medical treatment?

Come on, sooner or later they will all be implicated, it doesn't make much difference whether it's sooner or later.

Yao Yuanzheng waved his hand and a doctor came over.

He pointed at Ying Bao and said, "Take the medicine in her hand and test it to see if it is poisonous."

If it’s not poisonous, let her try it. Anyway, it’s already like this. Everyone is just following Dai Wang to get through life.

The doctor responded, took the porcelain bottle from Ying Bao, poured some out on a plate, and used a silver needle to test whether it was poisonous.

After a while, the doctor replied: "Master, this thing is not poisonous."

Yao Yuan nodded and gestured for him to return the porcelain vase to the female doll.

Yingbao took the porcelain bottle and was about to feed it to the boy on the hospital bed, but his teeth were clenched and he couldn't feed it in at all.

"Let me do it."

Xiao Mo came over, took the porcelain bottle from Ying Bao's hand and asked, "Will you feed them all in?"

Ying Bao nodded: "Not even a drop can be left."

In the porcelain bottle is a potion made from Wudingzhi, ginseng slices and mountain honey. It nourishes both the Qi and the body. I wonder if it will be useful to Dai Wang.

Xiao Mo sat on the big bed, held the thin and skeleton-like young man in his arms, pinched his cheeks with his hands, forced him to open his mouth, and poured the sweet medicine directly into his mouth.

The boy was forced to swallow a mouthful, but half of it flowed down the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his neck and chest.

Ying Bao frowned, walked up to Xiao Mo and whispered: "Uncle Xiao, the cost of this bottle of medicine is one hundred taels of silver."

Xiao Mo ignored her and poured the remaining bit into Wang Dai's mouth.

After giving the medicine and putting the medicine away for King Dai, Xiao Mo got off the bed, called two palace servants to wipe King Dai's clothes, and then left the inner hall.

Several imperial doctors who had been watching came out and asked again and again: "What did Xiao Langjun feed the king?"

Xiao Mo turned back and pointed at Ying Bao: "Go and ask her." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the palace.

“Hey! Where are you going?” Yingbao emerged from the crowd and chased her: “Take me with you!”

Rated to the door of the main hall, but was stopped by several eunuchs: "No one is allowed to go out without an imperial decree!"

Yingbao watched helplessly as Xiao Mo stepped down the steps, crossed the yard, and quickly disappeared behind the screen wall, stamping his feet angrily.

No matter in his past life or this life, this Xiao Mo was not a good person. He actually left her, a little girl of several years old, in the Longtan Tiger's Den and escaped by himself. What a shame!

I returned to the main hall sadly and saw that all the chairs and stools in the hall were occupied by others. I had no choice but to drag the medicine box to the corner of the main hall and sit on the ground.

He pretended to take out a cantaloupe from the medicine box, pinched it, and smashed it with his fist. The melon split open, and he just broke off a piece and gnawed it.

There was nothing she could do. She was thirsty, hungry, tired, and hot. She was too exhausted both physically and mentally to care about much.

Soon her move attracted everyone's attention.

Ying Bao saw several people's Adam's apples rolling, and then they turned their heads back, coughed a few times, and pretended not to care.

Only Li Langzhong came over, put the medicine box in his hand towards Ying Bao, lifted his robe and sat down against the pillar.

Ying Bao handed him a piece of cantaloupe and said, "Grandpa Li, here you go."

Li Langzhong was not polite, took the cantaloupe and started eating it. Like Ying Bao, he had not had a drop of water since he came out in the morning, and was extremely hungry and thirsty. However, the people in the palace ignored them and had no intention of interfering with their diet.

 And Langzhong Li didn't know those imperial doctors, so he was embarrassed to ask them to help him instruct the palace officials.

In other words, these imperial doctors all looked at him through their nostrils and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Since Senior Brother Wen could not be found, Li Langzhong had no choice but to sit on the ground with Ying Bao.

Fortunately, the floor is paved with marble and is very cool and clean.

The two of them finished eating the melon in silence. Ying Bao took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her mouth.

Li Langzhong also took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and beard, and asked in a low voice: "Ying Bao, what are the chances of that generation of kings?"

Yingbao: "Fifty percent." Life and death are each half.

Hearing this, Langzhong Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not bad to be 50% sure. I hope we can get out of the palace safely."

After a while, he added: "I heard from Senior Brother Wen that the dangerous situation for the king this time was caused by eating mushrooms by mistake."

Yingbao asked curiously: "What mushroom? Is it Golden Ear? Who gave it to him? Is it Mr. Wen?"

After all, Han Miaoniang’s golden ears were all sold to the natal brother of Lin, the third wife of the Wen family.

Li Langzhong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "No, my senior brother said that it was donated privately by a medical officer named Lin."

This man crossed Wen Jingyan, probably because he wanted to show his face in front of the king, express himself, and monopolize the savior's merits.

In the end, he stole the chicken but lost the rice, and ended up in prison.

It doesn't matter if he goes to jail, but it will implicate Senior Brother Wen.

After all, the Lin family and the Wen family are related by marriage, and it was Wen Jingyan who first cooked porridge with gold fungus for King Dai. After eating it for a while, King Dai's condition did improve.

However, as King Dai became healthier and healthier, many people in the imperial hospital believed that Wen Jingyan, in order to keep his pet and sell it well, was deliberately mysterious and said that an ordinary golden ear was like a miracle medicine.

Therefore, everyone was not satisfied with the golden ears provided by Wen Jingyan.

Yao Yuanzheng even asked people to buy golden fungus elsewhere and put it into the Imperial Pharmacy.

Yuan Zheng's move made everyone feel that he wanted to exclude Wen Jingyan and the golden ears he purchased.

Wen Jingyan also noticed this, so he sent a letter asking his fourth daughter-in-law to go home and stop guarding the Jiang family.

Unexpectedly, after eating the golden ears donated by a medical officer named Lin, the king suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. Over the next few days, he became very thin.

The emperor was furious when he heard about it, and quickly asked people to investigate thoroughly what was going on.

As a result, it was found that the Lin family purchased it from a small mountain village and purchased it on behalf of the Wen family.

At that time, the Lin family was greedy, so they bought two or three kilograms of it and gave it to a relative who worked in Taiyuan Hospital. As a result, this happened.

Not only was the man named Lin imprisoned, but Wen Jingyan was also held accountable for this.

If Dai Wang is not good at this, it is estimated that the Lin family, the Wen family, and even the villager who sells the gold ear will not end well.

Even the doctors present here may not be able to protect themselves.

“Alas, what an unforeseen disaster.” Li Langzhong shook his head.

He didn't want to come originally, but he couldn't stand Xiao Mo's hard and soft tactics.

The person surnamed Xiao also said that this time King Dai's illness was very involved, and no one who had even the slightest involvement with it could escape.

So Li Langzhong had no choice but to come here with Ying Bao.

When he saw Dai Wang for the first time, he was already numb and felt that he might be folded here.

Hence, he placed all his hopes on himself, his half-way apprentice.
