Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Chapter 187 Pot, pot, why are you spitting at me like a duck?

The word "General Zhang" stunned Zhang Anan—this young immortal actually knew him?

He even knows he holds the position of Left Gatekeeper General? Could it be that immortals truly possess the ability to see through all things in the world?

Thinking of this, Zhang Anan had even greater respect for Jiang Fan.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask, "What brings you here, young master?"

"Actually—I came to treat the Empress's illness entirely because of Sizi, Chengyang, and Lizhi. If you were to reward me with such precious treasures, I wouldn't dare accept them; they'd be too much for me. Let's just forget about it."

The treasures you had Sizi and the others bring me before were priceless, that's already more than enough, I don't need them this time.

After Jiang Fan finished speaking, Li Lizhi, who was standing nearby, kindly brought him a cup of tea.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt a pang of anxiety, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the immortal gentleman is targeting me? Does he think I'm not giving him enough?"

After all, she traveled a long way from Baiyujing to Lizheng Hall to treat Guanyinbi, and I only presented her with a painting and calligraphy. That's why the immortals were displeased. I blame myself for being too stingy.

After thinking it through, Li Shimin instructed Zhang Anan: "Anan, quickly go and bring me those treasured items that I have kept hidden away, as a sign of my sincerity—"

"puff-

Jiang Fan spat out the tea he had just drunk.

Poor little Zhouzi was standing right in front of him and got sprayed in the face.

Little Sizi looked completely bewildered, staring at Jiang Fan with a tearful expression: "Brother, why did you spit on me? You got my new dress wet, and my hair too—"

Jiang Fan quickly put down his teacup, walked over to Xiao Sizi, and apologized awkwardly, "Brother didn't mean it, brother was just—"

"I was scared by what your grandpa said. When we get back, your brother will buy you new clothes, okay?"

Hearing that her brother was going to buy her new clothes, Sisi nodded her little head quickly: "For the sake of new clothes, I'll just buy them from you, brother!"

Upon seeing this, Li Shimin's heart tightened, and he said to his younger brother, "Sizi, you must not be rude to your master—"

Jiang Fan smiled and said to Li Shimin, "It's alright, it's alright, my brother and I—"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Anan walked to Li Shimin's side and whispered, "Those treasures—"

The voice wasn't loud, but Jiang Fan heard it and immediately said, "No, absolutely not. General Zhang, don't listen to your emperor."

Given my relationship with Sizi, Chengyang, and Lizhi, if I were to take it, what would they think of me?

Little Sizi, with her big, bright eyes, stared at Jiang Fan and laughed, "I'll just keep watching you like this, with both eyes, hee hee—"

Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi and Cheng Yang chuckled to themselves.

Jiang Fan:

Just as Li Shimin was about to speak and stop Xiao Sizi, Jiang Fan stopped him in time: "Don't talk about your nephew. Look how good Sizi is now, so well-behaved and obedient, and he's especially cute."

If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be Zhouzi. Without Sizi, I wouldn't have had the chance to treat the Empress.

Most importantly, I only revived the Empress; the root cause of her illness remains unresolved.

"Ah! What you mean, my lord—could it be that the Empress's illness has not yet been cured by you?"

Li Shimin looked at Jiang Fan with a look of fear and asked.

At this moment, Empress Zhangsun, with the help of Li Lizhi, managed to sit up. She put a cushion behind her back, which made her more comfortable.

Seeing the nervous Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun forced a smile and comforted him, "Ahem~ Erlang, I know my own illness."

"Ahem~ I'm already very grateful that my lord came to save me from the brink of death. Please don't make things difficult for him."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Guanyinbi, rest assured, I naturally wouldn't do that. It's just that your illness—"

"Why is Mother coughing so badly all of a sudden!" Li Lizhi said worriedly.

Jiang Fan explained, "The Empress's illness is a qi-related ailment, but there are many types of qi-related ailments, and I need to ask her in more detail."

Although Si Zi had told Jiang Fan about Empress Zhangsun before, Si Zi was only two and a half years old, so it would be appropriate for Jiang Fan to ask her in person.

"Ahem~ Young master, may I ask?" Empress Zhangsun nodded.

"Your Majesty, please describe in detail the circumstances of your illness."

"Sometimes when I have an attack, I cough violently, accompanied by varying degrees of chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, and difficulty breathing."

"In addition, my mother may also have a fever, fatigue, headache, and body aches and pains," Li Lizhi added.

There are many kinds of respiratory diseases. Jiang Fan wasn't sure which one Empress Zhangsun had, but after listening to their description, he roughly judged it to be acute bronchitis.

This disease may be fine most of the time, but when it flares up, it can be very severe, often causing violent coughing, and in severe cases, fainting.

Of course, Jiang Fan is not a doctor, so after the ID card is processed, he still needs to take Empress Zhangsun to the hospital.

Next, Jiang Fan handed the cough syrup and bronchitis medication he had brought to Li Lizhi and explained how to use them. Jiang Fan dared not give too much.

These drugs may not be very effective for people in the 21st century because they have developed drug resistance.

But people in the Tang Dynasty didn't have this situation, and Jiang Fan wasn't a doctor, so naturally he wouldn't prescribe medicine indiscriminately.

"Brother Fan, will Mother feel better after taking the medicine?" Li Li asked.

"This only helps with coughs. These can only help—but to cure it completely, you'll need to go to the hospital," Jiang Fan said.

"What is a hospital?" Li Shimin asked.

"Woji Island, my brother took me there, and the older sister pricked me with a needle! What a scary place—"

The little brother said in a childish voice.

"Haha, a place for healing and saving lives—" Jiang Fan explained, and everyone nodded as if they understood.

Then the mischievous little girl ran up to Empress Zhangsun and said in her childish voice, "Mother, after you go to my father's house, I'll ask him to buy you lots and lots of good things!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan nearly fainted. Was this the point? A curse? The point was to take your mother to see a doctor, not to take her out to eat! Did you think everyone was like you, a little glutton?

Empress Zhangsun looked surprised upon hearing this, glancing at her son, then turning to Jiang Fan: "Young Master, I—I can go to your place too?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Of course, but it will probably take some time before I can take you to the hospital for treatment, after the ID card is processed."

"Erlang, I—"

"Guanyinbi, go ahead. The young master has already spoken, what else do you have to worry about? I just don't know, young master, if I go with him—"

"Second Prince, stop your willful and reckless behavior! You are the ruler of a nation, are you going to abandon the Tang Dynasty? Have you forgotten your ideals? Have you forgotten—"

As she spoke, Empress Zhangsun's voice gradually lowered, and then her breathing became deep and rapid again.
