"Hahaha" the hearty laughter broke the solemnity in the palace. Liu Xie, who was the emperor, had no dignity at all at this moment. He laughed so hard that he forgot everything else and tears came out of his eyes. He kept patting the back of the twelve-year-old Liu Chan, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that General Cao actually stole the bride with Yuan Shao when he was young, and Sun Zhongmou was called a short-legged dog in later generations. Even the emperor's uncle couldn't escape that some people in later generations called the emperor's uncle his wife. Oh, I'm dying of laughter, I'm dying of laughter!"

Liu Chan shrank his head, his legs shaking with guilt, and before he could even breathe, he glanced at the gate several times. He was afraid that Liu Bei, with an angry face, would come towards him aggressively, holding his shoes.

He now regretted saying these things to Liu Xie.

It's all my fault. Why did I bring my father along when I talked about Cao Cao and Sun Quan?! Netizens called my father my wife, why should I tell my brother?!

The more Liu Chan thought about it, the more panicked he became. "Brother, don't talk about it for now."

"Adou, are you afraid of the Emperor's uncle? Haha, it's okay. As long as I'm here, the Emperor's uncle won't do anything to you!" Liu Xie waved his hand with great heroism.

After a moment of silence, Liu Chan asked, "Brother, didn't you see what happened to Peng Yongnian?"

Liu Xie's smile froze, and his whole body instantly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, as if the heroic spirit just now was just an illusion.

How could he not understand the meaning behind Liu Chan's words? The matter of Peng Yongnian was the incident a few years ago when he was so angry that he ordered the arrest of Peng Ying.

Liu Bei did not punish Liu Chan in front of him, but Liu Chan was scolded by Liu Bei afterwards and had to lie down to attend classes for several days.

Now that Liu Chan brought up this matter, it seemed as if he was saying, as long as my royal brother is around, my father won't do anything to me, but a severe beating is inevitable!
"Ahem." In order to hide his embarrassment, Liu Xie coughed several times and decisively changed the subject, "Adou, what interesting things are there in the fairyland recently? For example, where is the romance?"

"Flood the Seven Armies!"

"Flood the Seven Armies?!" Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth rose again. Excitement and excitement once again occupied the high ground of his mind. This is good, this is good! It sounds amazing just by sounding!
Liu Xie urged, "Good brother, good brother, tell me what happened to the flooding of the seven armies! No, start from the Battle of Hanzhong. I want to hear enough today!"

"Okay." Liu Chan did not refuse and talked about the Battle of Hanzhong all the way to the flooding of the seven armies.

Liu Xie listened with great interest and clapped his hands. After listening, he sighed, "Good, good. It was really distressing to hear before. When taking Yizhou, we accidentally lost Fengchu. The Battle of Hanzhong, the meeting alone, and the flooding of seven armies are very satisfying, very satisfying! 'I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, and I am ordered to fight against the enemy!' Good, good, really domineering. A great victory in Hanzhong, a great victory in Xiangfan, the next time it will be to support the Han Dynasty, right?! Second uncle is really amazing. Not only did he not use Ma Fei San, but he also played chess while having his bones scraped and the poison treated. I really want to know what will develop next."

Liu Xie didn't notice that Liu Chan's expression darkened, a melancholy appeared on his face, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The next time he was defeated in Maicheng
Liu Chan did not want to spoil Liu Xie's mood, so he said, "Brother, I still have some studies to complete, so I'll take my leave now."

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry? Today is your day off, no need to rush."

"It's the homework my father arranged for me."

Hearing this, Liu Xie's face was no longer relaxed. His expression changed so quickly that Liu Chan was dumbfounded. He said very seriously: "Study can't be delayed, Ah Dou, you go quickly!"

After seeing Liu Chan off, Liu Xie thought about Liu Chan's expression just now. Why did Adou's expression look a little strange? Was there something wrong? Never mind, why bother with that? !

Liu Xie called a palace servant and ordered, "Go and see if the imperial physician is busy. If not, invite him in."

"Yes." The palace servant said respectfully.

Hua Tuo followed the palace servants to the emperor's bedroom with a bewildered look on his face. What was going on? Why did the emperor suddenly summon me? From his tone, it didn't sound like the emperor was sick.
Arriving at the palace, Hua Tuo hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" "Imperial Physician, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite, get out of here!"

Under Hua Tuo's puzzled gaze, Liu Xie kicked out the palace servant.

Facing Hua Tuo's puzzled look, Liu Xie smiled and explained, "Grand Doctor, I want to ask you a question about medical skills."

what?
Hua Tuo looked at Liu Xie in surprise. He didn't expect that Liu Xie called him just to ask about medical skills. What was going on today? This didn't seem like he was the emperor!

Even though he had some doubts in his heart, Hua Tuo still said seriously and confidently: "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly. As long as it is related to medical skills, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Imperial Physician, please tell me about scraping bones to treat poison."

"Scraping bones to treat poison? What kind of illness is it? Where is the patient?"

"There is no patient. The condition is this: an arrow shot the general's right arm. The general returned to the camp to pull out the arrow and suddenly felt discomfort in his right arm. It turned out that the arrowhead was poisonous and the poison had penetrated into the bone. His right arm was swollen and he could not move. It happened that a famous doctor was traveling here. After the famous doctor diagnosed it, he said, 'This is an injury caused by a crossbow arrow. The aconite in the arrow penetrated directly into the bone. If it is not treated early, this arm will be useless.'"

"Aconitum?" Hua Tuo frowned slightly.

Liu Xie asked curiously, "What's wrong with the Imperial Physician? Why is he frowning?"

Hua Tuo explained, "Your Majesty, according to our research, Aconitum contains a substance called aconitine. Taking 0.8 milligrams of Aconitum can cause poisoning, and taking 12-15 milligrams can cause immediate death. This poison can quickly enter the blood through damaged pores or the middle burner. The symptoms first appear in the tendons, veins and marrow sea, and are initially excited, followed by paralysis. If the medulla oblongata is affected by the evil, the qi will sink, the breath will be rapid and the blood will stagnate; if the tendons and meridians are dysfunctional, the limbs will be stiff. If the qi in the middle burner is reversed, vomiting, salivation, abdominal rumbling and diarrhea will occur. In severe cases, the jaws will be clenched, the limbs will twitch, the breathing path will be contracted and the person will die. If the heart and pulse are disordered, palpitations, shortness of breath, and rapid and intermittent pulses will occur, and in severe cases, the yang qi will suddenly fall out. If only one side of the arm is painful and useless, this is a sign of local blood stasis, which is very different from the systemic danger caused by the internal attack of Aconitum poison."

"What?!" Liu Xie was shocked. In order to facilitate the research of the Shangfang Mansion and the Imperial Hospital, a new unit of measurement, the milligram, came into being. One catty was equivalent to one million milligrams. And less than one milligram of the poison of the Aconitum can poison a person? ! According to Hua Tuo, if someone was really hit by the poisonous arrow of the Aconitum, there would be no chance of scraping the bone to heal the wound. He would probably die on the spot.

However, Liu Xie had a question in his heart, "Imperial Physician, how did you know? How could the dosage be so precise?"

Hua Tuo looked at Liu Xie with a strange look, "Didn't your Majesty allow us to apply for death row prisoners for drug testing and dissection?"

Ah? So I gave you permission? When did that happen?

Liu Xie's expression froze. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out when permission was granted. But then he thought again, it was normal because most of the official duties had been pushed to Jia Xu by him.

However, Hua Tuo must not be made aware of this kind of thing, after all, the emperor still has to save his face.

Liu Xie coughed a few times and pretended to be calm and said, "I am just testing the Imperial Physician, so can the Imperial Physician scrape the bone to cure the poison?"

"It depends on the condition of the patient. We also need to prepare in advance, such as sterilizing the instruments. There is no surgery to scrape the bone to remove the poison at the moment."

Hua Tuo's words disappointed Liu Xie a little, but Hua Tuo continued: "There are similar operations..."

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he heard this, "Let's go, I want to watch!"
