The 42nd episode: Only afraid of being housebound - Unfulfilled matters
"You don't look like you're sixty years old, can you explain why?"
Sun Simiao listened and smiled with satisfaction, then habitually stroked his beard.
He said: "I have lived on the mountain for over 40 years, eating vegetables and fruits, rough tea and plain rice, rarely meat. Every day I practice a set of fist techniques in the morning and evening. By the time I was 50, outsiders found that my appearance had not aged, thinking I was a divine doctor with skills. Only recently did I realize it might be related to my living habits, but the subtleties are still unclear to me."
Wow, it turns out to be a health preservation expert.
"You don't understand? Then keep going and study slowly. I want to ask you, how's your medical skills?" Li Chengqian asked.
Just as Sun Simiao was about to speak, the boy next to him straightened his neck and said, "The one in front of you is a divine doctor, how can you doubt?"
"You mustn't be rude in front of His Highness." Sun Simiao turned around and glared at him.
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "You're as wild as a young calf, I really admire you!"
Also don't know what's wrong with this sentence, Sun Simiao and the boy both froze. Li Chengqian felt they were inexplicable, and Su He, who was beside him, breathed a little quickly, turned his head, and saw her stifling a smile. After Li Chengqian glared at her, she whispered: "Master, that's a girl."
Are you kidding me? Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at the boy for a few moments, no way!
"I, I'm a girl!" The "boy" suddenly flushed and shouted loudly.
That sharp voice, indeed only a girl can shout out, Li Chengqian's face turned green. Sun Simiao hurriedly comforted the girl, and Li Chengqian took a few deep breaths, speaking in an adult tone: "Adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt! Dr. Sun, show me your skills!"
Sun Simiao comforted his daughter while looking up at Li Chengqian, observing him for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you in private."
"Huh?"
"Come and I'll whisper it in your ear, then you'll know how good my medical skills are!" Sun Simiao said with great confidence.
Long Liang took a step forward and shouted: "How dare you!"
"It's all right." Li Chengqian reassured Long Liang and then beckoned to Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao encountered some difficulties, his daughter clung to him and refused to leave a step. In the end, he had no choice but to bring his daughter along. Then this guy arrived at Li Chengqian's side, his sparkling eyes glanced at Long Liang once, without saying a word.
"Long Liang, take a few steps back." Li Chengqian said.
This guy's bright eyes looked at Su He again, without saying a word.
"Huh?" Li Chengqian was dissatisfied.
"The Crown Prince's consort shouldn't hear it either, Your Highness is certain you want the Crown Prince's consort to hear?"
"Cut the crap..."
Su He smiled and said: "Your Highness, I'll go get you a cup of tea."
She walked away, and Li Chengqian looked up at Sun Simiao's daughter with a straight eye, saying nothing.
Sun Simiao said, "From my observation of your complexion, Your Highness has a strong yang fire, and recently you may have been dissatisfied with your sex life."
As soon as this was said, Li Chengqian's face turned red. This old Sun has a set of skills, and he actually knows that he hasn't done anything for five or six days just by looking at his complexion! Is it because I wanted to get rid of Longliang and Suhong earlier?
"Hehe......" A girl's laughter rang out.
Li Chengqian lowered his head and saw that the gray-headed, gray-faced "female disguised as male" daughter of the Sun family was covering her mouth, with two bright eyes full of smile, his face turned green!
"Old Sun, what do you mean?!" Li Chengqian burst out!
"Uh, Your Highness, don't be angry..."
"You fart, you let your daughter sneak and listen to my private matters, you..."
"Your Highness has misunderstood, this is not my daughter but my young apprentice. A doctor's heart is like a parent's, Your Highness needn't worry!"
Oh, what an emotional nurse!
In his previous life, Li Chengqian had a circumcision surgery and even let the nurse shave off his pubic hair. Although that nurse's face wasn't pleasing to look at, her hands were quite soft... Cough cough, never mind about this, anyway people's psychology is just weird like that - if women heard their private matters they would be dying of embarrassment, but if a strange nurse heard them, it seemed like people's psychology could accept it.
"Halt!" Li Chengqian turned around and glared at Sun's disciples!
"Even if you're just an apprentice, can you still mock me?"
"This..." Sun Simiao looked at his apprentice with difficulty.
The apprentice glared at Li Chengqian with a white eye: "Then what do you want?"
"What's going on?" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and shouted: "Longliang!"
"Yes!" Long Liang responded loudly.
"Your Highness, you've summoned me, surely there's something important. If it's to treat a patient, don't delay!" Sun Simiao said with good intentions.
Damn it, the old man actually threatened me! But forget it. Li Chengqian thought.
He glared at the "female disguised as male" hiding behind Lao Sun and said to Lao Sun, "There's a patient who needs you to take a look. I don't know how good your gynecological skills are?"
"Gynecology?" Sun Simiao was taken aback, "Your Highness is referring to a female patient... I have been practicing medicine for over 50 years and have treated countless women. My medical skills are still somewhat effective. However, each person has their own illness. Your Highness's female patient needs to be examined by me before I can determine whether she can be cured or not."
"That makes sense, let's go now." Li Chengqian said.
Su He returned with tea, speaking softly: "Your Highness, Dr. Sun and his disciples have rushed here in a hurry, covered in dust, without even resting yet. Why not let them go down to freshen up first, have dinner, and then visit the empress dowager?"
"Hmm..." Li Chengqian listened and only then noticed that Sun Simiao and the "female disguised as male" both looked quite unsavory. This indeed wasn't a good look to present to the Empress Dowager. Not only would it give a bad impression, but also being dirty was unhygienic. Bringing two virus-carrying mothers to meet the Empress Dowager, and before even curing her illness, they might end up harming her instead - that would be disastrous.
"En! Xiao Guan you arrange." Li Chengqian said along with Su Hong's words.
"Originally, the prince came to me, it turned out to be for the empress's illness, I am really too rude!" Sun Simiao heard that he was going to see the empress and got excited. He looked at his clothes again and said reasonably.
Su He had the demeanor of a crown prince's consort, first speaking warmly to Sun's family and disciples for a couple of sentences, then calling over the old eunuch Zeng Yi, taking Sun Simiao away with him. Afterwards, Su He pulled along "the girl dressed as a boy", wanting to take her to bathe.
Li Chengqian called out to Su Hong, telling her in a low voice: "You have to be careful, this little guy is actually a man, don't let him take advantage of you..."
"Hmph, Your Highness, she's really a girl..."
Su He left with "disguised as a man", Li Chengqian shouted from behind: "If something happens, shout loudly!"
Lao Sun left, Su Hong left, and the Xian De Hall was empty. Li Chengqian sat on the hall with some depression, stunned for a while, and found that Long Liang had a hesitant expression, impatiently saying: "If you have something to say, say it! If you have fart, let it go!"
"This... Your Highness doesn't need to worry about it, like old Long here who hasn't married a wife, at night I just wet the bed and fall asleep, my body has always been fine... What's wrong with your face, Your Highness?" Old Long asked hastily.
Li Chengqian's face turned green!
He asked gloomily: "Did you hear that just now?"
