Chapter 897 A false alarm
After returning to Xiangyang at high speed, Li Tai had no time to care about anything else and went straight to the harem.
When he saw his second brother Li Chao standing in front of the inner hall, he quickly asked: "How is Aye's condition?"
"Aye suddenly fainted in his study the night before. Fortunately, he was noticed in time and received immediate treatment. He woke up after sleeping for a day and night. He is in good spirits now."
Li Chao quickly stepped forward to explain his father's situation, and then said with a look of shame on his face: "I'm sorry, brother, I am the only one among the brothers who is at home, but I didn't take good care of Aye..."
Li Tai was concerned about his father's condition at the moment and didn't bother to care about these things. He just strode towards his father's residence again.
At this time, Li's relatives and friends living in Xiangyang also came to visit the patient. In order not to disturb the patient's rest, they all sat in the side hall. When they learned that Li Tai had returned to the mansion, they all came out to welcome him.
Li Tai didn't bother to chat with these relatives and friends, and after a brief nod of greetings, he went straight into the Nuan Pavilion. In the Nuan Pavilion, Li Tai's wife Miaoyin and Li Chao's wife Yuanshi were sitting in the outer room with their mother Lu, and there were servants cooking decoctions under the window.
Li Tai entered the inner room first and saw his father Li Xiao sitting on the couch. His face was slightly pale and sickly, but he was in good spirits.
When he saw Li Taixing entering, Li Xiao sighed and said: "There are many old and sick people, and we have tired children and grandchildren. Thank you for running all the way back from Jiangxia. Did it disturb your work outside?"
"Everyone in the world is responsible for the affairs of the world. I am a child of Aye's flesh and blood. Now Aye needs to rely on the younger generation. Apart from serving in front of the bed, the rest is not important to me!"
Li Tai was afraid that the wind and sand would wash over his sick bed, so he untied his outer robe and walked into the room with only his inner hakama folds. After looking at his father for a few times, he said: "If there is anything wrong with Aye's body, it must come from the truth. It is not advisable to hide an illness and avoid medical treatment, not wanting to worry your relatives and disciples, or hiding it!”
As he spoke, he turned to the servant in the room and asked, "Where is Yao Shangshu? Has he been admitted to the mansion for treatment?"
Yao Sengyuan was previously appointed as the Minister of Xingtai, responsible for the prevention and treatment of internal epidemics and the compilation of medical books and pharmacopoeia. He has always stayed in Xiangyang, so Li Tai asked this question.
"Yao Shangshu came to see him in the morning. He said that there is nothing serious and he can rest peacefully. I know that he is busy with cases, so I didn't stay too long. I will just come and visit him in the evening."
Li Xiao saw that his son was still a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted him: "I'm in good health now, so don't be too nervous. There are many relatives and friends coming to visit outside the house. It's hard for me to entertain them right now, so as not to infect them with my illness. You Don’t be rude. The new relatives from Hebei must also be settled well..."
"Don't take these things to heart, Aye. They can all be properly arranged. Please rest peacefully, Aye!"
Seeing that Li Xiao was still worrying about these things, Li Tai hurriedly said that when the servant brought the warm decoction that had been cooked, he personally took it and served it in front of the bed. He waited until his father finished taking the medicine before he got up and left. .
After arriving at the outer house, he looked at his mother again and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I think Aye's complexion is quite good. I hope he will recover as before soon."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "I heard Mrs. Yao say that you are sick from overwork, and I expected this. He didn't realize that he was old and weak. During this period, he spent all his time in his study, revising history and annotating books, eating and drinking. They are all willful and careless. I only ignored the advice of others. After receiving this lesson, I must be able to restrain myself. It’s just that I rely on my son to take care of all family and state affairs. The family members are in panic and have no plan. A letter from home. I will call you back from thousands of miles away.”
Seeing that his second brother Li Chao and his wife were still standing on one side with their heads bowed, Li Tai waved his hands and said: "Don't say that, mother, what kind of drama is there in a family? It's just that the elders work more, but it makes my family prosperous and harmonious. My parents have lived for hundreds of years, and I enjoy it. I know that I hate academics, and I am afraid that my family's studies will decline, so I work hard at it. In the future, these studies will be passed on to my brothers. "
"Aye had a headache a few days ago. It was because I had been careless and neglected that I fell seriously ill."
Li Chao bowed his head in shame and admitted his mistake again. During this time, he has been assisting his father, reading and correcting various historical books without sleep or food. When he was concentrating on his studies, he paid little attention to other things. His father was seriously exhausted. I can only notice it, and now I feel guilty.
After Li Tai heard this, he was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't know if it was because he was too good that he put pressure on other relatives. These books were in Xiangyang and could be consulted at any time, so why bother to delve into them and forget all sleep and food?
Although Li Chao is said to be a bit careless, it is also because he is academically focused and attentive, and is not an ordinary playboy from a wealthy family. Seeing that this boy had thick bags under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, he couldn't bear to blame him for a moment. He just patted Li Chao on the shoulder and said: "There are hundreds of things in the world, no matter which one you are too obsessed with, you will inevitably ignore the others. No matter you are drowning in water, Whether you are addicted to learning or not, you cannot be called a wise man.
Fortunately, Aye is not seriously injured this time. It can help you understand the principle of moderation in everything, which can be regarded as a small gain. You don’t have to blame yourself too much. Things happen by chance and people are negligent. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you will not suffer any loss! "
After hearing this, Li Chao nodded in agreement, and then Li Tai asked him to entertain the relatives and friends who were still in the side hall. He returned from Jiangxia all the way day and night, and he was indeed quite tired. After seeing that his father was fine, his nervousness relaxed, and he felt tired, and he was too lazy to socialize and exchange greetings.
Li Chao and his wife went to entertain relatives and friends, and Li Tai asked someone to clean up a room next door. He had to live nearby at night until his father recovered completely before he could rest assured.
"This time, my husband should really thank Madam Yao!"
Miaoyin took the maids to decorate the room in person. When Li Tai entered the room and was ready to rest, the lady said: "That night, Aweng was unconscious in the study. It was unknown how long it had passed after the waiters found out. The whole house was panicked. Fortunately, Mrs. Yao stayed overnight in the palace, made a diagnosis first, and immediately prescribed the right medicine. She boiled it into a decoction and fed it to Aweng. It temporarily stabilized the disordered blood energy, and then the condition was maintained until Yao Shangshu and other famous doctors came to the mansion for consultation. "
When Li Tai heard that there was such a secret, he hurriedly went to invite Mrs. Yao. He soon found that his clothes seemed a little inappropriate. It was a bit rude, so he went into the inner room and changed into a fashionable outer robe.
When he turned around and returned to the outer room, Madam Yao had been introduced and was chatting quietly with Miaoyin in the banquet. When she raised her head and saw Li Taixing coming out, she hurriedly stood up from the banquet and lowered her head in confusion: "Meet, meet the king..."
Li Tai saw that Mrs. Yao was so nervous and embarrassed after seeing him, so he did not approach her. He stood at the side of the banquet and bowed to her, saying: "It was only when I returned home that I learned from my family that my father was ill this time. Thanks to Mrs. Yao’s quick treatment, the crisis was saved. I am truly grateful for the life-saving grace!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Yao quickly spread her bare hands in front of her body and waved them repeatedly, and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious, your words are serious. What you encountered is not a side disease or a serious disease. Even if it were another doctor, the diagnosis and treatment methods would be the same. What I did was not a unique skill, and it is really hard for me to praise you like this."
This lady already had the gentleness and beauty of Wu Xiang women. At this moment of nervousness and embarrassment, her fair face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. Li Tai was a little embarrassed to look directly at her pretty face, but he just said: "As long as I can save people, , it is a brilliant plan, Mrs. Yao does not need to be too humble. Besides, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for my kindness to you. I am unfilial and careless about my parents. Fortunately, a kind person came to my rescue. It’s a huge regret. Only by saying thank you more can you relieve the guilt in your heart.”
"Why is your Majesty so unfilial? Birth, old age and illness are inevitable for everyone. If you don't use the right method, even if you cut off your flesh to offer relatives, it will be difficult to eliminate minor misfortunes. Even though Your Majesty is not proficient in medicine and stone, he still does not hesitate to save the people, and he has great righteousness in the world. He is a truly benevolent and virtuous man, respected by the world..."
As Mrs. Yao spoke, her eyes moved away whenever she touched Li Tai, looking shy and cute despite her embarrassment.
Li Tai originally wanted to ask the lady if he needed any help, but he heard the servant reported that Yao Sengyuan and other famous doctors had come to the house again to consult with his father, so he motioned to the lady to entertain the lady again. Mrs. Yao hurried to her father's hospital to listen to the doctor's diagnosis and advice.
Yao Sengyuan and others made another diagnosis and assessment of Li Xiao's physical condition, and reported to Li Tai that the reason for his illness this time was staying up late. If he wanted to recover, he had to limit all the things that strained his mind, eat enough, sleep enough, and exercise. Body.
Li Tai was relieved and at the same time a little bit dumbfounded. He just felt that this old Li was looking for trouble. You said that you are living your old age honestly, wouldn't it be better to become the emperor? You stay up late compiling books and compiling history. Do you still want to be Sima Qian?
He discussed with Yao Sengyuan and other consultant doctors and formulated a strict diet and rest schedule for his father. When he returned to the room, he saw that Mrs. Yao had left, so he told her: "This Mrs. Yao has left." This is really a great help to my family. Madam is familiar with me. How should I express my gratitude? Madam will express it as appropriate. "
"There is indeed a plan, but it requires the husband's approval. Alas, let's wait until Awen recovers and the husband has nothing else to worry about before we discuss it."
When Miaoyin said this, her expression was a little complicated, and then she smiled and said to Li Tai: "If the husband is really anxious to express his gratitude, there is something he can do. Yao Shangshu and his daughter moved to Xiangyang because they were in Jiangling, but there are still children and relatives missing. Yu Jiangnan. I heard that there is chaos in Jiangnan now, and Mrs. Yao is also very worried about her brother's safety. "
After hearing this, Li Tai remembered that Yao Sengyuan had also hesitated several times. He thought it might be because of this, so he nodded and said: "I have no control over the situation in Jiangnan. But if we just visit a few people Shiliu, it’s not without a plan. You ask Mrs. Yao to report the details of her relatives and friends, and I will arrange for the apostle to go to Jiankang later. "
