After making sufficient preparations, Li Kuan took Sun Simiao on the journey.

He Shen and the imperial doctors,

At this moment, they were still discussing Guo Shoujing's condition. From the expressions of the imperial doctors, it could be seen that they had not made any progress in treating severe cold and heat diseases.

Li Kuan told Heshen all his ideas, but unexpectedly, Heshen hesitated.

"May I ask who Mr. Sun studied under, which dignitaries he has treated, and what were the results?"

On the surface, this sentence sounds polite, but if you listen carefully, it is not the case.

After all, Sun Simiao was not famous at that time, and many dignitaries did not know his name. Heshen's words clearly showed his distrust of Sun Simiao!

Although Sun Simiao understood the deeper meaning, he did not get angry, but patiently explained:
"When I was young, I learned some medical skills from some masters. I don't know if those masters were famous, but people from all over the place praised their superb skills."

"When I grew up, I started to explore on my own. Although I am not talented, I have saved some patients and written a few medical books that are not very good. I should be able to cure your majesty's illness."

"Sir He, Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!" The leading imperial physician jumped out quickly to stop it.

Although the imperial physician and Sun Simiao were colleagues to a certain extent, many colleagues were also enemies.

Besides, treating Guo Shoujing was the duty of the imperial physician.

Now that they are at their wits' end, Li Kuan brings in a man who says he can 100% cure Guo Shoujing's disease. Isn't this a slap in the face of these imperial doctors, destroying their jobs, and saying that they are not well-trained?

Naturally, they did not dare to doubt Li Kuan, and if Li Kuan personally took out something to treat Guo Shoujing's illness, they would not dare to object.

But for Sun Simiao, it was not so easy to get these imperial doctors to recognize them.

"We, the imperial doctors, have all been carefully selected and passed numerous tests before we were able to see the emperor and treat His Majesty and Lord Guo."

"Let's not talk about other people, let's talk about me. I have been visiting famous teachers since I was young, studying medicine, and making medicine for several years before I wrote my first prescription."
"Lord He, Your Majesty, it's not that I am narrow-minded. It's just that Lord Guo, this disease is very serious and requires extreme caution in treatment. We really have to think twice."

Heshen stood aside, seemingly silent, but his heart was already beating fast.

To be honest, the Great Yan Dynasty attached great importance to family background. Sun Simiao's family background was not particularly high, and he did not have a particularly famous teacher. Therefore, He Shen, although meticulous, still had to be cautious about him.

But he had previously promised to trust Li Kuan and His Majesty and that they would be able to cure Guo Shoujing. He was in a difficult position to say and was slapping himself in the face.

So he simply chose to remain silent and let the imperial physician and Sun Simiao continue to make a fuss.

He could observe from the side to determine whether this Sun Simiao had real ability.

"What do you mean by saying this? Do you think that I, Li Kuan, would treat Principal Guo's safety as a joke?"

Li Kuan was furious. It had come to such a critical moment, and some people were still ignoring the overall situation for their own benefit. "It was my idea to invite Mr. Sun. I, Li Kuan, am willing to take full responsibility. Who of you disagrees?"

"I, Old Cheng, don't agree," Cheng Yaojin came over without anyone knowing when!
"Back in Goguryeo, these old guys were helpless against the Tianhua, and Lord Guo's safety cannot be left to them. Boy, it's not that I don't trust you, but the point is that I'm afraid you'll be deceived by these old guys. In my opinion, we should... take a long-term view on this matter!"

"But General Cheng, you still remember, even if I found it, its side effects are huge. Side effects cannot be ruled out, and I can't give out the medicine for treating the plague." Li Kuan said in a deep voice.

"Without the help of Mr. Sun, I would never have been able to cure the plague in such a short time. If Mr. Sun had no ability, how could I have entrusted Principal Guo's health to him? What period is it now?"

"Principal Guo's safety is so important, but you are hesitating and procrastinating. If something really happens to Principal Guo, who will be responsible?"

Cheng Yaojin then realized that there was such a thing, and for a moment he, who was very eloquent, could not help but shut his mouth. The imperial physician and Heshen were even more speechless. Li Kuan struck while the iron was hot.

"I know you are all worried about Principal Guo, but I, Li Kuan, absolutely do not regard this matter as a joke. If you do not believe in Mr. Sun's medical skills, you can come and test it."

The imperial doctors whispered to each other and felt that under the current circumstances, only by following Li Kuan's advice could Guo Shoujing's illness have a chance of improvement.

A short imperial physician stood up and said arrogantly:
"As doctors, the most basic skills are observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. However, a skilled doctor does not need to feel the patient's pulse. He only needs to take a glance to know what disease the patient has and what medicine to prescribe."

"I am now about ten steps away from Mr. Sun. Please tell me how my physical condition is."

Sun Simiao glanced at him, with an embarrassed look on his face. He pinched his beard and said, "It's hard to say!"

The imperial physician laughed, thinking that he was incompetent, but Li Kuan knew that Sun Simiao must have a reason, so he said to Sun Simiao:

"Sir, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."

"Do you really want to say it?" Sun Si looked at the short imperial physician and then at Li Kuan.

"Just say it." Li Kuan supported.

"In my opinion, this gentleman is not in good health," Sun Simiao pinched his beard. "First of all, in terms of body shape, this gentleman is short. In terms of demeanor, his eyes are dull, his eyebrows are sparse, and his hair is greasy."

"Based on my many years of experience, this gentleman must have indulged himself too much and taken too strong a drug, and lacked self-cultivation. I can prescribe a prescription for you, which will definitely relieve your waist pain."

"Ah, this, this," the short imperial physician was extremely embarrassed, and his colleagues beside him could not help but laugh. However, it was this embarrassment that proved that Sun Simiao's reasoning was correct and his medical skills were superb.

At this time, the imperial doctors began to look at Sun Simiao, and the leading imperial doctor also changed his tone and said respectfully;

"Then according to your opinion, how should Mr. Guo's illness be treated?"

"To treat severe cold and heat diseases, the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty left behind a good prescription. Before entering the palace, Sun prepared Shuqi Powder, which can relieve Mr. Guo's condition..."

"This is a brilliant recipe," an imperial physician exclaimed, "I have also thought about Shuqi Powder, and my idea coincides with Mr. Sun's." At this time, everyone's eyes turned to him, and Heshen asked directly:

"Since you have a cure, why didn't you bring it up before?"

The imperial physician looked embarrassed:

"After all, this is a prescription from thousands of years ago. I have never encountered a similar case before. Lord Guo's health concerns the country, so I dare not take too many risks. Besides, this method can only alleviate the symptoms, but cannot cure severe cold and heat diseases, so I didn't say it."

"So this prescription still needs to be improved. I have accumulated some experience in practicing medicine over the years. I need to make a decision after understanding your majesty's condition. My Lords, please trust me." Sun Simiao said solemnly.

Heshen had already witnessed Sun Simiao's abilities. Moreover, Li Kuan was the war god of Dayan who had saved Dayan from danger many times. This time when Guo Shoujing suddenly fell seriously ill, everyone believed that he must be the one who could turn the tide.

So everyone brought Sun Simiao to Guo Shoujing's bedside. After completing the diagnosis, Sun Simiao said that although this severe cold and heat disease was dangerous, fortunately Guo Shoujing had fought on the battlefield and practiced martial arts, so his body was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so the chances of recovery were greater.

So after coming out, facing this life-saving straw, Fang Xuanling began to be very respectful, while the imperial doctors huddled aside, looking as if they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out.

Li Kuan waved his hand and said to them:
"Everyone, I know that you are skilled in medicine. It is normal for you to doubt me, but medical skills are something that requires accumulation. Mr. Sun has traveled all over the country and treated countless people, but you may not see a patient for several days in the palace."

"So, Mr. Sun, it is normal for me to know a few more prescriptions and diseases than you. But your medical skills are still among the best in Da Yan. If you want to cure Mr. Guo's illness, you will have to work hard."

"Yes, yes, yes. Sun is still short of a few medicinal herbs. I am not familiar with the place to get the herbs in this palace. Besides, you have been serving Lord Guo for many years, so you must be very clear about Lord Guo's physical condition."

Sun Simiao also said quickly, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. If you want Lord Guo to recover, you have to rely on all of you."

After hearing this, the expressions of the imperial doctors improved, and the leading imperial doctor even said:

"Yes, yes, yes. I am willing to lend a helping hand to you, Mr. Sun. To be honest, I have collected several precious medicinal herbs. If you are interested, I am willing to offer them to you at any time. As doctors, the most important thing for us right now is to treat Mr. Guo."

Other imperial doctors also echoed this.

Heshen's expression completely relaxed, and Li Kuan was even laughing secretly beside him.

You know, it's better for a group of people to work together than to fight each other. No matter how good the medical skills of these imperial doctors are, they must be familiar with the palace and can definitely help Sun Simiao.

Seeing that Sun Simiao and they had come up with a countermeasure in a few words, Li Kuan hurried forward and said:
"Mr. Sun, are you sure? This is a critical period. His Majesty's illness is very serious!"

"I don't know whether I can do it or not, but Sun must try his best. I hope you will care about me."

"Oh, Mr. Sun, with your words, I feel completely relieved," Li Kuan said sincerely.

"I have full faith in your medical skills. Just do whatever you want. Even if something goes wrong, I am willing to share the responsibility with you."

You have to know that at that time, the status of doctors was still relatively low, and it could even be said that it was a profession looked down upon by the literati.

As the god of war and emperor of Dayan, Li Kuan's reputation had long spread throughout Dayan and beyond.

Such a sincere tone moved Sun Simiao for a moment:
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to treat Your Majesty. I will prescribe the medicine now."

For a moment, everyone went to assist Sun Simiao, and only a few imperial doctors were left outside the door. After all, Dayan's grace and power were spread throughout the world, and Daming Palace was the most important place among important places.

But at this time, Princess Changle and Xiao Yuanyuan could no longer bear the loneliness.

Although Princess Changle was gentle and always abided by the rules, she could not help but feel that Xiao Yuanyuan was quick-witted and eloquent. Besides, the people who were sick this time were all Princess Changle's father, and she was very worried, so Changle was finally persuaded.

After hearing the good news, they chose a time when the "guards" were the least guarded and swam in.

Although the Daming Palace was heavily guarded, who could stop Princess Changle? Many palace maids and eunuchs wanted to stop her, but they were all rebuked or even scolded by Princess Changle.

And just as Li Kuan and He Shen left, Xiao Yuanyuan and Princess Changle arrived right after them. At this time, there were only a few imperial doctors guarding the door.

Seeing that Princess Changle was trying to force her way in, the imperial doctors hurried to stop her.

Changle suddenly felt that what he did was indeed wrong, but since he had already come here, it didn't seem right to just go back.

Moreover, Xiao Yuanyuan pulled Princess Changle's sleeve and kept encouraging her. Princess Changle calmed down and continued to speak bravely:

"What's wrong? Lord Guo is not feeling well. I can't even go see him if I want to?"

"This..." The short imperial physician He hesitated for a moment.

"Since Lord Guo has been overworked, he needs to rest now. Princess, it is better not to disturb him. When His Majesty's condition improves, I will immediately notify the work and let His Majesty understand the princess's filial piety."

"Overworked, overworked, and you just use this as an excuse to fool me. Do you really think I'm stupid?" Changle finally couldn't help it.

"Who is Lord Guo? How could he lie in bed for so long because of a minor illness? Imperial Doctor He, tell me, Lord Guo, is he seriously ill?"

"This..." The imperial physician's face suddenly turned pale. Heshen and Li Kuan both said that this matter must not be made public. Anyone who leaked the news would definitely not end up well.

He was just a small imperial physician with elderly parents and young children to take care of, and he could not bear such a responsibility.

"Princess, please don't be suspicious. Lord Guo is just too tired. He just needs to rest for a few days. Please go back for now. Lord Guo will not send anyone to inform you immediately if he has any news."

"Humph, you're lying," Xiao Yuanyuan was not so easy to fool. She jumped out and said:
