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

"That's pretty amazing~"

"Mom, this is the shower...this is the toilet..."

~

After giving the two little ones a bath, it was almost nine o'clock. Jiang Fan played with the two little princesses for a while.

The two little ones lay in Jiang Fan's arms and quickly fell asleep.

Li Lizhi and Empress Zhangsun, mother and daughter, slept together tonight and went back to their room early.

The next day.

Jiang Fan got up very early, before the two little princesses woke up. He went out first to buy several large meat buns and four bowls of porridge.

When they returned, Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi had already gotten up, and the two little ones were also awake, feeding the animals in the garden.

Seeing Jiang Fan return.

Huffing and puffing,

Little Sizi and Chengyang ran over hand in hand, their short legs carrying them: "Brother, let me help you carry it!"

"Brother Jiang Fan, let me help you carry it too!" Cheng Yang said immediately.

"Hehe! No need, brother, you should take it yourself! Don't let them spill it."

"Aww! What did you buy, bro?!" Little Si asked in her childish voice, voicing the question she most wanted to ask.

"Big meat buns! And millet porridge too!"

Hehe~

Little Sizi was overjoyed at the mention of meat, and her chubby cheeks couldn't hide her sweet smile.

"Jiang Fan, you've gone out so early?" Empress Zhangsun greeted him with a smile.

I slept here last night, it was very comfortable, and there were no mosquitoes.

Not only was it cool, but the bed was also very soft. Empress Zhangsun felt it was much more comfortable than staying in the Lizheng Palace.

"Okay, I bought breakfast. After we eat, we'll go to the hospital."

"Empress Zhangsun, we're going to the hospital for a checkup later. They'll probably need to draw blood for tests, so you won't be able to eat breakfast..."

Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly: "It's alright, I ate too much yesterday, I'm not hungry now."

Little Sizi looked at Jiang Fan in surprise and asked, "Brother, why can't my mother eat duck?"

"If we don't eat, how hungry will we be? If it's because we didn't buy enough rice, then I'll give my buns to my mother..."

Hearing this, Jiang Fan gave Xiao Sizi a thumbs up: "I didn't expect you to say such things, Sizi. Your filial piety is commendable."

However, your mother can't eat breakfast today, because eating will affect the accuracy of the test. But little Sizi, you can eat as much as you want.

"Okay? Then I won't be very generous!"

Jiang Fan smiled and nodded gently, then placed the breakfast on the table.

Little Sizi didn't hold back this time. She walked over, picked up a big steamed bun, and opened her mouth wide, "Awooo—"

The big steamed bun with cabbage and pork was a real treat for Xiao Sizi. She really enjoyed it, as the meaty aroma was exactly what she liked.

"Li Lizhi, Chengyang, you should eat too! After you finish eating, we'll go to the hospital together."

As Jiang Fan spoke, he picked up the millet porridge again and brought it to Xiao Sizi's lips: "Sizi, don't just eat the steamed buns, have some porridge to help it go down!"

"Mmm, mmm, I'll finish this bite and then slurp down the porridge..."

Five minutes later, Little Si rubbed his swollen little belly.

She said with great satisfaction, "I'm so full! The big pack of paper is so good. It's such a pity that Mom can't have any more."

"Yes, yes, we can eat it after Mother's checkup is done! Right, Brother Jiang Fan?"

"Mmm~ Chengyang is a smart baby!" Jiang Fan said with a smile, patting Chengyang's little head.

"My dear, I'm a smart baby too!"

"Haha, okay, Sizi is a smart baby too," Jiang Fan said helplessly.

Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Sizi, Chengyang, it's good that you like it. How about I have the cook make you steamed buns later?"

"Mommy's different! This bun is so good!"

Empress Zhangsun: "..."

8:30 a.m.

Jiangcheng First People's Hospital.

"Empress Zhangsun, I'll take you to the hospital later. If anyone asks about our relationship, just say... I'm your aunt, okay?"

"Is this...appropriate? You are an immortal, of noble status, how could I..."

"If you have no objections, then I'll call you Auntie from now on. Also, I'm not some kind of immortal. Even if I didn't say it, I guess you'd already figured out that I don't have any magic."

"This is... well, never mind, I'll tell you the details after I've cured your illness," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

Empress Zhangsun nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, then everything will be as you wish."

"And Little Sizi, Chengyang, don't call him by the wrong name either."

"Okay!"

The little ox made an "OK" gesture with its chubby little hands.

Following Jiang Fan's instructions, the group went to the hospital.

No registration is needed; Jiang Fan already registered an appointment with a specialist online yesterday using Empress Zhangsun's ID card.

The other party is an expert in respiratory critical care, and is among the top in the country.

Of course, the registration fee is not cheap, and there is a series of related services.

~

Upon entering the expert's office, someone was already waiting. The expert, surnamed Xu, was in his sixties.

Then he asked about Empress Zhangsun's condition, and then personally took Empress Zhangsun to have an electrocardiogram taken.

Expert Xu: "Your aunt's electrocardiogram results are not good. The curve shows that there is insufficient blood supply to the heart. She needs to have blood tests and a CT scan."

"What is C-substitute?" Empress Zhangsun asked, puzzled.

"Uh... it's a type of X-ray that scans the whole body and can see the internal organs."

That way, we can clearly know the exact location of the lesion in your body, Auntie, and then we can formulate the best treatment plan.

Expert Xu explained that the young woman in front of him was clearly a wealthy lady, not someone who was uneducated. How could she not even know what a CT scan was?

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun visibly panicked.

The organs inside your own body? How do you see that? Do you cut open your chest to look?

Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan quickly pulled Empress Zhangsun outside and hurriedly explained, "Auntie, don't panic. This CT scan is actually just an X-ray that you can't see with the naked eye."

A direct scan of your body will clearly show your internal organs and blood vessels.

There was absolutely no pain, not even any sensation at all. "So simple?"

"Of course, don't you believe me?"

"I believe you, I believe you, of course I believe you, but... such an incredible object must be very valuable, right?"

"It doesn't cost any money... I've got everything covered!"

Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun became even more convinced of Jiang Fan's character and decided that she would make Erlang (her son) thank him handsomely when they returned.

After taking Empress Zhangsun for a CT scan, a nurse came over shortly afterward to draw blood.

This is the advantage of being rich; you don't have to queue. Jiang Fan explained the necessity of blood collection to Empress Zhangsun, who readily extended her arm.

They drew three vials of blood directly from the crook of her arm, then attached Empress Zhangsun's personal information to the bag and left.

Around noon, the CT scan results came back.

It was a narrowing of the pulmonary artery that caused Empress Zhangsun's illness.
