The fierce grandson of the Ming Dynasty

After a moment's thought, Lady Lü understood the gravity of the situation.

Having made her choice, she nodded and said, "As the eldest grandson of the emperor says! I will immediately send for the imperial physician!"

In a short while.

After the Crown Princess Lü left, Zhu Xiong Ying quietly came to the bedside and took Biao'er's father's pulse.

However, the pulse was weak in all three positions: cun, guan, and chi.

The overall appearance is weak and feeble, especially the left cun and right guan sections, which are the most illusory!

This is clearly a state of mental exhaustion and overwork.

In other words, the chronic weakness caused by long-term overwork and excessive thinking leads to symptoms such as hypoglycemia.

Overall, the problem isn't too big!

After Zhu Xiong Ying withdrew his hand, he originally intended to call San Bao and have him go to the imperial kitchen to have some nourishing soup prepared.

Who knew that the next moment, a soft breath could be heard in my ear.

"But Ying'er is here?"

Guan Biao's father woke up and struggled to sit up.

He immediately helped him up, saying, "Father, you're weak, quickly lie down and rest..."

Upon discovering it was the eldest son, Zhu Biao felt a surge of warmth in his heart and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine! I'm just a little tired. I'll take a short nap. There are still documents from the Six Ministries that need to be dealt with!"

"Our Ying'er, what brings you to the East Palace today?"

Seeing the situation of his cheap father.

Zhu Xiong Ying put her worries aside and said, "I had some things I wanted to discuss with you, but there's no rush, there will be other opportunities later!"

"But Father, your health requires rest and recuperation..."

Zhu Biao sighed inwardly.

As the crown prince, he bears the expectations of his father and the responsibilities of the court and the people. How can he stop?

Especially now, at this crucial moment for stabilizing the political situation, while others can relax, he needs to stay on his toes...

We chatted for a few minutes.

Seeing that his beloved son was unwilling to say more, Zhu Biao did not ask any further questions, but soon discovered the problem.

"Where is the Crown Princess?"

Zhu Xiong Ying coughed lightly and said, "To be honest, Father, I noticed you weren't feeling well, so I told my aunt and asked the imperial physician to come and take a look!"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, knowing his eldest son meant well, and swallowed his words of reproach, saying, "I know my own body best!"

"Ying'er, remember this: do not cause your royal grandfather and grandmother worry in everything you do. Otherwise, it would be unfilial of us juniors!"

Ah yes, yes, yes, Biao'er's dad is right!

In order not to upset his cheapskate father.

As usual.

Zhu Xiong Ying readily agreed, but didn't take it to heart.

Compared to Xiao Zhu, who refused to seek treatment for his illness and deliberately concealed it, ultimately leading to a serious illness that caused Old Zhu and Empress Ma great anxiety and heartache!

It's best to intervene as early as possible!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also did some ideological work with Lao Zhu, making him realize the seriousness of the problem.

We absolutely cannot continue to treat Biao'er's father like a beast of burden!

Da da da!

Half an incense stick later.

Just as the father and son finished speaking, Crown Princess Lü, after instructing the eunuchs, stepped into the palace.

After exchanging greetings, she saw her husband, Zhu Biao, treating her eldest son with great respect, even having him sit beside her and help read documents aloud.

The feeling of jealousy resurfaced in her heart.

Ah, Yunwen has been refined and intelligent since childhood, but he has never received such treatment in the Eastern Palace!

He was, after all, an illegitimate son!

Must we simply accept our fate?

There's another one like this...

Upon discovering the eldest grandson of the emperor, he seemed to sense something and suddenly looked over.

Lady Lü suppressed her emotions and quickly turned to face another direction.

Two quarters of an hour later, upon hearing the news, Imperial Physician Dai Sigong led several people and hurriedly rushed to the East Palace.

Upon seeing Zhu Xiong Ying also present, Old Dai's expression turned solemn. He greeted the Crown Prince, the Imperial Grandson, and the Crown Princess behind the curtain before beginning his medical examination.

……

One hour later.

News of Crown Prince Zhu Biao's illness reached Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma Xiuying.

Emperor Zhu loved his son dearly and, disregarding his imperial status, personally visited the Eastern Palace to see him.

Inside the side hall.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, seated in the main seat, his eyes filled with scrutiny, asked, "Why has Biao'er's illness flared up again?"

"Tell us the reasons and solutions. If you can't explain them, hmph..."

The next position.

Faced with the emperor's threatening words.

Besides Dai Sigong, he was also able to remain calm.

The other imperial physicians were all trembling with fear, clutching their lips tightly, terrified of losing their heads!

He sat at the desk.

Zhu Xiong Ying stood steadily, his eyes darting around.

Given Old Zhu's foul temper, he'd chop people up at the drop of a hat.

No wonder Empress Ma, even when seriously ill, refused to let the imperial physicians examine her, fearing she might be implicated...

As a good grandson of the saint, he couldn't just ignore it!

Dai Sigong and others were already highly skilled in medicine, so it was impossible for them not to be able to see the cause of Biao'er's father's illness.

At the same time, only through Lao Dai's words would Lao Zhu believe the diagnosis and then make changes!

Zhu Xiong Ying quickly tried to ease the tension, saying, "To be honest, gentlemen, my imperial grandfather's intention is that anyone who can explain my father's illness and provide a cure will be rewarded! And there will be no blame!"

"Grandpa Emperor, don't you agree?"

She caught a glimpse of her eldest grandson, who kept winking at her.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy expression softened somewhat, and he nodded in agreement, saying, "Just as my grandson said, that is indeed the truth!"

The people from the Imperial Hospital gradually calmed down.

After exchanging a few glances, Dai Sigong stepped forward without the slightest panic, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! According to our consultation, the Crown Prince's fainting spell has subsided, and his life is out of danger!"

"Although the acute symptoms have subsided, the underlying deficiency has not been fully recovered!"

"The reason for this is that Your Highness's left cun pulse corresponds to the heart pulse, which is weak and not in its proper position. This is due to mental strain and lack of sleep, resulting in a severe deficiency of heart blood, leading to frequent dreams, easy awakening, palpitations, and fatigue!"

"The right Guan position corresponds to the spleen and stomach. The pulse is weak, soft, and empty, and cannot be felt even with heavy pressure. This is truly due to excessive thinking damaging the spleen, and overworking day and night depleting one's Qi, ultimately leading to loss of appetite, loose stools in the morning, and fatigue with slight exertion. This is also the root cause of Your Highness's fainting!"

"Your Majesty is wise; the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood. If the spleen and stomach are weak, none of the five internal organs will be nourished. Furthermore, overexertion has already affected the kidney qi, further depleting qi and blood..."

Seeing that Dai Sigong's words were somewhat serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids twitched violently. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Stop with the nonsense. I'll just ask you, how do we cure Biao'er and restore his health?"

Faced with the emperor's power, Dai Sigong felt immense pressure and could only explain the treatment method in concise terms.

Finally, having shed his timidity, he spoke frankly: "This humble subject dares to add one more point: His Highness the Crown Prince's illness can only be partially remedied by medicine; the root cause lies entirely in 'overwork,' therefore, it relies nine-tenths on proper care!"

"The most important thing right now is for His Highness to avoid overwork and worry, and to minimize mental strain. Only by resting quietly for three months can his spleen and stomach recover and his qi and blood be regenerated. Otherwise, if his foundation is damaged, the condition will inevitably recur..."

It is clear that the emperor has a bad temper.

While speaking, Dai Sigong left some room for maneuver, refraining from revealing the most serious consequences.

Old Zhu seemed preoccupied, but thankfully he didn't continue to get angry. He simply waved his hand and said, "You may all leave!"

"yes!"

A group of imperial physicians, their clothes soaked with sweat, felt as if they had just escaped death.

As soon as he left, Zhu Yuanzhang murmured, "How could Biao'er have contracted such an illness?"

Zhu Xiong Ying, who was closer, heard clearly and said, "Grandfather, in my opinion, Father's illness is also related to you!"
