Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 884

Then the matter is not that simple. It is very likely that something has happened to a member of the royal family. Thinking of this, Wei Wu's heart sank.

Just as Wei Wu was frowning and thinking, Eunuch Wang also ran in from outside and saw Wei Wu at a glance.

"Meet the Marquis of Changle!"

Because the matter was urgent, Eunuch Wang greeted Wei Wu and immediately ran to Doctor Xu.

Wei Wu was about to ask what happened, but when he saw Eunuch Wang anxiously grabbing Doctor Xu's sleeve, he didn't dare to speak.

In fact, Wei Wu was not worried about what happened to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was in poor health and there was basically no need for him to worry.

Wei Wu was mainly worried about his aunt, Queen Ma, who was not as resilient as Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, just when Wei Wu was worried, Eunuch Wang gave a direct answer.

"Doctor Xu, please come with me to the palace immediately. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is ill."

King Yan is sick?

Hearing what Eunuch Wang said, Wei Wu was stunned, but his worries disappeared the next second.

It was just that the Prince of Yan was sick, nothing serious. Zhu Di was an emperor on the 23rd century AD, and he died on his way back from an expedition.

And according to his understanding, Zhu Di did not have any serious hereditary diseases and was now strong and healthy at a young age.

It's just a minor illness. I guess Old Zhu and Eunuch Wang are so anxious because they don't know any medical skills. There won't be any problem.

Just as Wei Wu was thinking this, Doctor Xu also spoke.

"Eunuch Wang, don't be anxious. Even if I want to go with you, you have to tell me the details first!"

"Who is sick? What are the symptoms? I need to know these things so I can prepare what I need to bring in advance!"

After Doctor Xu finished speaking, Eunuch Wang immediately slapped his forehead.

"Look, I was so anxious that I almost forgot. The thing is, it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan who's sick. The only symptom I know is abdominal cramps."

Hearing this, Doctor Xu frowned slightly and continued to ask:

"Why do I have abdominal pain? What did I eat?"

"No! At that time, the Prince of Yan was discussing state affairs with His Majesty in Fengxian Hall. He didn't even order any food!"

Having said that, Eunuch Wang recalled what he saw before he came.

"Before I came, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan had severe abdominal cramps and also seemed to have diarrhea."

After gaining a general understanding of the situation, Doctor Xu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Wu.

"I have something to do in the palace. I'll go there first. You stay here. I'll tell you when I get back!"

After saying this, Doctor Xu turned around and walked aside to pack the things he needed to take with him without waiting for Wei Wu to reply.

Wei Wu did not respond to Doctor Xu because he was thinking about other things at the moment.

"Fourth brother had abdominal pain in Fengxian Hall. Could it be that he ate the frog buns made by Yuxuan at my place before?"

"I had previously tricked Yuxuan at home into believing that Fourth Brother was poisoned by eating something she made. Did that count as a prophecy coming true?"

Wei Wu was thinking in his heart, but Doctor Xu had already packed up his things and prepared to leave with Eunuch Wang.

Seeing this, Wei Wu suddenly came to his senses, immediately stood up and shouted.

"Old Xu, wait a moment. If this is Fourth Brother's problem, I might know something."

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Doctor Xu and Eunuch Wang turned around at the same time and looked at him in surprise.

At this time, Wei Wu spoke:

"Before Fourth Brother went to see His Majesty, he first came to my place and ate something there. That might have caused it."

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Doctor Xu immediately turned around and came to Wei Wu and asked:

"What is it?"

"Today, we made frog buns at home. Maybe the servants accidentally mixed frog skin into the stuffing. I watched Fourth Brother eat it."

"Toad skin? This stuff is pungent, cool, and slightly toxic. No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has abdominal pain and diarrhea."

After listening to Wei Wu's words, Doctor Xu nodded. Knowing the root cause of the disease, he knew how to prescribe the right medicine.

But just when Doctor Xu was thinking of a prescription, Wei Wu spoke again:

"Old Xu, if it's a toxin, remember the activated charcoal I told you about last time?"

"Remember, we still have the materials needed to make penicillin in the Imperial Hospital. What's wrong?"

"Swallowing a small amount of that stuff can absorb toxins. It might help Fourth Brother's condition. Oh, and this, too."

As he spoke, Wei Wu directly opened the medical box on the table, took out montmorillonite powder from it and handed it to Doctor Xu.

"This medicine can stop diarrhea, and it's very effective. You can give it to Fourth Brother. Take one bag each time, morning, noon, and night."

After taking the montmorillonite powder from Wei Wu, Doctor Xu also remembered that Wei Wu had indeed mentioned this thing just now.

However, after getting it, Doctor Xu shook his head and scattered the montmorillonite on the table.

"Swallow activated charcoal to absorb the toxins. I'll let His Royal Highness Prince Yan try it, but forget about the medication. It's not that I don't trust you."

"It's just that everyone's constitution is different. Just like you mentioned before, if someone is allergic to penicillin, it won't only fail to cure the patient but can also kill them."

"This montmorillonite powder may be very effective, but before I confirm it, you cannot give the prince any medicine."

After hearing this, Wei Wu remembered that Doctor Xu was different from him. He was an imperial physician and he risked his life to treat patients.

When treating the royal family, one must choose the most effective method and the one that is the safest and most familiar to him.

Otherwise, you would be playing with your own head and your entire clan, and there are simply too many ways to stop diarrhea in traditional Chinese medicine.

There is no need to try a drug that has never been used before, let alone experiment on a prince.

After realizing this, Wei Wu quickly said apologetically:

"Old Xu, you're right. I thought it was too simple. Go to the palace first! I'll come find you when you come back."

"No need. Now that we know the cause of King Yan's illness, the subsequent treatment will not be difficult. You just wait here for me. We can talk about talents when I come back."

After saying this, without waiting for Wei Wu to speak, he pulled Eunuch Wang out of the gate, and the two of them left the Imperial Hospital together.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wu felt a little strange.

"I was the one who asked him for talent, but why does he seem to be more proactive than me?"
