The willow trees in the Royal Garden suffered a lot. Originally, there were many poplar and willow trees planted by the lake in the garden. In the summer, the majestic wind caressed the willows and the shadows of the trees were whirling, which was very interesting. But this day Mu Ying led a group of strong men from the Guards who looked like wolves and tigers. Like bandits who entered the village, they arbitrarily stripped off all the bark of the willow trees. Only the poplars were left facing the willow friends without their clothes. Shivering.

The bandits rushed through the palace with several large bundles of willow bark, and soon returned to the Qianqing Palace. Mu Ying was worried that the peeled willow bark was not fresh enough and could not be used, so he cut down a willow tree and carried it back. "Bangdang." "Throwing it to the ground, the sound made the glazed tiles on the cornices shudder.

The imperial doctors had been in front of the palace early, looking at a pile of hard and dry willow bark in a daze: Does this thing have to squeeze out juice? How is that possible?

However, the wise and mighty Emperor Hongwu was looking at them. Under the gaze of this tyrannosaurus, not only to squeeze out the juice, but also to deliver the willow bark, they had to do it. Some of the imperial doctors cut off the willow bark, Grind it bit by bit with a medicinal roller, hoping to get even a drop of juice. But this method is really difficult to harvest, and you will get basically nothing except a pile of bark powder. Other doctors use willow bark. I tried brewing medicine and made a bowl of bark soup full of weird flavor.

Zhu Su failed to tell him that the ready-made medicine was in the warehouse in the east courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, so the imperial doctors had to use their own subjective initiative. As a result, Zhu Su was not only fed a whole bowl of bark soup, but also the ground medicine. Based on the principle of giving it a try, the powder was poured directly into Zhu Su's mouth with a funnel, and then poured with water. Because it could not be washed down, more water was needed, and in the end, Zhu Su was poured directly into a round belly.

"How? How is Lao Wu?" Lao Zhu asked Li Yuanzheng anxiously. Zhu Su has been taking bark water for some time. Not only Lao Zhu, but also Queen Ma, Zhu Biao, Zhu Chong, Zhu Fan, and all Zhu Su in this world. All the relatives came. Even Zhu Di, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, was released by Zhu Ping and begged Lao Zhu. Now he is being held by Zhu Biao with a weak look on his face.

Li Yuanzheng frowned deeply, holding Zhu Su's hand and continuing to feel his pulse. His expression was happy for a while, confused for a while, and unbelievable for a while. It changed back and forth like a revolving lantern.

"What's going on? You old man! Why are you so hesitant!" Lao Zhu said impatiently.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Li Yuanzheng was excited and quickly let go of his hand that was taking his pulse. "It's really strange that His Majesty the Fifth Prince's pulse condition has actually calmed down. His fever has also subsided."

"Willow bark is really a good medicine for reducing fever! No one has discovered it for thousands of years...it's strange, it's strange..."

Who could patiently listen to the rest of his words? When Queen Ma heard that her fever had subsided, she stood up excitedly, completely forgetting the grace and splendor that a queen should have. Zhu Fang was so excited that he seemed to be about to do somersaults outside; the young master Zhu Fang He also got carried away and patted the curtain beside him, almost knocking it down and had to rush to hold it up. Zhu Biao was better, but he almost shed tears. Zhu Di, who was originally sick next to him, felt like he had been injected with chicken blood. I jumped three feet high with excitement.

When Lao Wu is healed, he can clear my grievances!

….

The imperial doctors were also cheering for joy. I don’t know whether they were cheering for the medical miracle of willow bark curing diseases, or cheering for the preservation of the nine tribes. Lao Zhu excitedly grabbed Li Yuanzheng’s shoulders: "Tell us, when will Lao Wu be able to heal the disease?"

Wake up?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Fifth Prince's pulse has slowed down, and he may wake up at any time..." Lao Zhu's hands were like iron pliers, and the old man's shoulders were almost crippled, but he did not dare to resist and could only complain secretly. Out of the corner of his eye, he just caught a glimpse of Zhu Su's eyelashes.

After moving a few times, he quickly diverted his attention and said, "Your Majesty, look! Your Highness is about to wake up!"

Lao Zhu hurriedly turned his head, and saw that Zhu Su's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he woke up leisurely. When he got up, he saw this large circle of people at the first sight. His first words were: "Ah, what a coincidence, everyone is here

Ah."

"Su'er!" Zhu Su's words were much better than the previous words when he told Willow Bark Juice, and he was already confident. Empress Ma finally dared to confirm that her child would never leave again, and her legs

Yiruan sat on the edge of the couch, held Zhu Su's hand and began to cry.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm much more comfortable than before. I just feel uncomfortable with a distended stomach and a strange taste in my mouth."

Zhu Su said. I thought the willow bark juice I extracted didn't taste like this? Could it be that it has been left for too long and has gone bad?

Everyone was in a hurry again, and the imperial doctors took turns taking pulses, and finally determined that Zhu Su's current discomfort was just a minor illness. Li Yuanzheng said to Old Zhu who breathed a sigh of relief: "The fifth prince has just recovered from a serious illness, so we should not make trouble first."

The movement is good. Weichen prescribes a few prescriptions of Jiangyang decoction, takes it every day and takes frequent rest, and everything will be fine."

"That's very good, very good!" Lao Zhu said with a hearty smile. The emperor was happy, and everyone in the Imperial Hospital was greatly rewarded.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness, has slept for a long time. Don't overwork yourself when you wake up suddenly. After a brief talk of family ties with Your Majesty, you should rest early." Li Yuanzheng ordered. Although he really wanted to ask about the willow bark reducing fever, at this time, the old man

The whole Zhu family looked happy and joyful. How could they not know the principles of advancement and retreat despite being old and mature and working in the palace? They retreated with the doctors and medicine boxes on their backs.

Seeing his sons and adopted sons chatting with Lao Wu, and his wife holding Lao Wu's hand lovingly, the joy on Lao Zhu's face gradually faded. Lao Wu had woken up, and it was time to take care of the previously unknown things.

Everything has been clarified.

"Sister, we have something to talk to Lao Wu alone. You can take Boss and the others out first." Lao Zhu said. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the hall felt that the atmosphere was unusual, and they all became quiet.

Zhu Di's face turned slightly pale, and he took a step forward under pressure: "Dad, I won't leave! I want to listen here!"

"I want to hear Lao Wu tell you personally that I am not your rebellious son!"

What he said was too serious. As soon as he said this, not only Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan, but also three insiders, Zhu Biao, Mu Ying, and Queen Ma, looked over in surprise. They guessed that Lao Zhu was

I want to ask Zhu Su about future generations. But what does the future generations have to do with whether Zhu Di is rebellious or not?

Zhu Fan looked back and forth at Lao Zhu, Zhu Di, and Zhu Su with surprised eyes. He screamed crazily in his heart: They really have something secret to hide from me!

Lao Zhu didn't expect that Zhu Di would get angry at this time. Just when he was about to reprimand him, he saw that his face was red and he was kneeling unsteadily but still looked stubborn and aggrieved. The reprimand was not uttered after all. Queen Ma watched his words.

She already had an idea, and said to Mu Ying without changing her expression: "Ying'er, please take Fan'er with you, and Fan'er will go down first. Your godfather has something to tell Su'er and Di'er."

"Yes." Mu Ying responded directly. The Zhu family was his family. Queen Ma and Lao Zhu were the parents of his orphan. How could his son disobey his parents' orders? He pulled the curious Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan out.

Zhu Ming was still confused, but Zhu Fan looked unwilling to do so. He didn't have the guts to disobey his mother's orders, so he could only leave with full of grief and indignation while constantly poking his head around.

"Okay, now there are only a few of us left here. Chongba, what do you want to ask Su'er? Just ask." Empress Ma looked at Lao Zhu and saw that his face was full of embarrassment, and her face began to become solemn.

Get up. Zhu Su looked at Lao Zhu, and then at Zhu Di, who had been kneeling on the ground for some time, and his expression became embarrassed.

"Father...Mom, you all already...know?"
