Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 472 Rejuvenation

The first mountain on the road from the capital to the birthplace of this dynasty is Tiewang Mountain.

Given that Taishang loved to go out when he was young, he must have made seven or eight trips to this strategic point.

After a brief investigation by the Ministry of Works, they discovered the hot springs. Together with the natural hunting grounds on the mountain, this place became the first imperial palace of the dynasty.

It is also Tai Shang’s favorite palace.

I wouldn't say he went there once a year, but at least every other year. Sometimes he was too lazy to go far away, so he would call the leaders of the subordinate tribes in the north and the governors of various states to meet and talk to build relationships.

Because of his frequent trips, the palace in Tiewang Mountain was fully stocked with utensils and expenses. Now, even supplying these people and horses was not very difficult.

Moreover, it was closer to Xiangping at this moment, and Zhou Yan would arrange his own supply logistics, which would not cause too much burden to the palace.

Not to mention.

Let's just talk about the prince. After entering the palace, he was given medicine by Doctor He again and slept soundly. He woke up the next morning.

Tao Mo, who had been watching, was surprised and burst into tears of joy: "My good prince, you are finally awake!"

He turned around and ordered someone outside to report to the Supreme Lord and ask Doctor He to come over immediately.

He knelt beside the bed and asked the prince in a soft voice whether he was hungry or thirsty, whether he felt uncomfortable lying down, and whether he needed to go to the toilet.

There are so many questions, and they are extremely comprehensive.

The prince smiled weakly, shook his head, and said nothing. He just rolled his eyes and looked around.

"We have already arrived at Tiewang Mountain." Tao Mo saw this and hurriedly explained, "The incident at Chang'an Posthouse is over, and the Grand Master and Prince Kejin are both safe.

“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Crown Princess are all on their way to Tiewang Mountain and will arrive in just a day or two.

"We have brought good medicine from the capital. Doctor He is a miracle doctor. You will be fine."

The prince's heart was filled with anxiety when he heard this. His breathing became rapid and he closed his eyes slightly.

Tao Mo understood the situation, gently extended his hand to his chest, and said softly: "Don't worry, the capital has been well arranged, and your majesty has not been in danger.

"The people behind the scenes know who is behind it, and the assassins have all been killed. Your Majesty, you, as well as His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Crown Princess, I guarantee that you are all safe.

"Just take good care of yourself, that's all!"

His soft whispers were heard by Doctor He and the Supreme Lord who had hurried over.

Tai Shang curled his lips in satisfaction and lifted the curtain to go in.

Tao Mo noticed it, turned around and saw it, then quickly knelt down from the edge of the bed and kowtowed to the Supreme Lord: "Your Majesty, the prince is awake!"

The Supreme waved his hand and asked him to stand up: "You have served me very well. Stand up now."

Tao Mo agreed respectfully, climbed up, endured the numbness in his legs, tried hard not to stagger, then retreated to a corner with a hunched back and head down.

He remembered clearly what his master had told him before he came: "You are my disciple, so you belong to His Majesty. The Supreme Lord and the Crown Prince may not trust you.

"So I obeyed and did my job, but I never moved forward, didn't listen to a single word of secrets, and didn't even look at anyone else.

"The most difficult people in the entire palace will soon gather at the Tiewangshan Palace. You better be a coward and save your life."

He knew that although he suffered the most beatings and scoldings among his fellow disciples, he also received the most twists and turns in his teaching.

The master loves him very much.

Tao Molin followed his master's teachings.

The Supreme Lord saw this from the corner of his eye, and felt relieved. He looked back at the prince and asked Tao Mo:

"Did the prince sleep well? What did he say when he woke up?"

"In reply to Your Excellency, the prince just woke up half a cup of tea later and is still weak, so he didn't say anything. He slept soundly just now."

The Supreme hummed, gently held the prince's weak hand, and asked him in a gentle voice: "Do you want to eat something?"

The prince closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened his eyes and smiled with difficulty:

"My grandson is much better... Grandpa Emperor, please take a good rest... We'll talk about it when my father comes..."

This means you have a clear understanding of your own condition.

Tai Shang felt sad and remorseful. His nose felt sore and tears fell as his eyelids drooped.

Doctor He stepped forward to interrupt and wanted to check the prince's pulse.

The Supreme Lord took the opportunity to turn away so as not to let the Prince see his tears.

Tao Mo walked forward quietly, handed a handkerchief to Tai Shang, and then put a cushion under Doctor He's knees.

Tai Shang took it, wiped his tears, and handed it back to him.

Doctor He also nodded to him as a thank you, carefully checked the prince's pulse, smiled, and immediately looked up at the Lord:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems that the medicine we brought here is very effective. The prince's injuries are improving. If he takes good care of himself, he may be back to normal in half a year."

The Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this. He felt that his breathing became much happier. He laughed and twirled his beard: "If the Crown Prince can escape this disaster, I will reward you with a house closest to the Shenwu Gate!"

"That's great! I have to walk two miles less every day when I am on duty!" Doctor He bent down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Upon seeing this, the prince thought that Doctor He was quite confident, so he felt relieved and smiled.

Doctor He immediately arranged for people to cook soup and porridge for the prince, and wrote a prescription for him to boil medicine - "to be taken with our secret medicine."

In short, judging from the situation, the prince has recovered.

Everyone inside and outside the palace breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Zhaoming is young and strong, and the Crown Prince doesn't need to worry about it for ten or eight years. If he can recover just by taking medicine, what's wrong with letting the Crown Prince take medicine for ten or eight years?

As long as the Taiji Palace, the East Palace and the Daming Palace are safe, no matter how chaotic the world is, it won't be a big deal.

The relieved Taishang went back to his palace to catch up on his sleep with the help of Prince Kejin who arrived shortly afterwards.

The prince was also served by his personal eunuchs and palace maids, wiping his hands, washing his face and rinsing his mouth, waiting to eat and take medicine.

Tao Mo then quietly went to "help" Doctor He and asked, "The prince has lost too much blood, I'm afraid he needs to nourish his blood.

"Please write me a diet plan and I will give it to the kitchen to prepare."

Doctor He lowered his head for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Then do you know what the prince likes to eat on a daily basis?"

This is to make you eat something you love...

Tao Mo suddenly panicked and his knees shook: "My dear Grandpa He, please don't scare me!"

"How can this be a joke?" Doctor He wiped his eyes, "I just hope the prince can hold on until His Majesty and the Queen Mother arrive!"

Tao Mo recalled the prince's slightly pale face, and the words "last gasp" suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately felt cold all over.

"Grandpa He! I am not lying..." Tao Mo knelt down in front of Doctor He and whispered, "Prince... now is not the right time!

"From New Year's Eve to now, all kinds of troubles have occurred one after another. If the prince is killed in this trip, the emperor will be heartbroken!

"Your Majesty is especially angry, and he brought Concubine Jia with him on this trip.

"The Queen Mother loves Princess Yimin.

"The Crown Princess is also accompanying them..."

Tao Mo kowtowed to Doctor He and raised his head with a look of fear on his face:

“If anything happens, it must be a bunch of things!

"Don't even think about whether everyone can bear it! My Grandpa He, there will definitely be chaos in the world!

“You’ve brought back the old man!

"You must think of a solution!"
