Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Imperial Palace Urgent Summon
That night, Qin Mubai, who had been playing outside for a whole day, went to bed very early, because she had to get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts with her father, so she had to nurture her spirit and stamina.

“Third Young Master, someone from the palace has sent you a message! Get up quickly!”

“What? I’ll be right there!” Qin Mubai hurriedly stood up and changed his clothes, wondering why he suddenly called me, what would happen?

A moment later, Qin Mubai arrived at the main hall of the front hall and saw a eunuch anxiously walking around like an ant on a hot pot. Qin Mubai recognized him. He was one of the Emperor’s personal attendants, surnamed Gao.

“Eunuch Gao, why are you so panicked?” Qin Mubai stepped forward and asked.

‘”Aiya, General Qin, quickly enter the palace! Her Highness Princess Jin Yang is in an emergency, and her life is on the verge of death! Her Majesty the Emperor has ordered several imperial physicians to treat her urgently, but the effect is not good!” Princess Jin Yang woke up when she was fainted, and she was saying’ Village Chief, Village Chief ‘. It was Her Highness King Jin who said that she was reading you! ” Eunuch Gao was so anxious that he stamped his feet, his mouth trembling.

“I’ll leave immediately!” Qin Mubai pulled out and walked towards the backyard.

“Hey, General Qin! Why are you still walking back? The carriages and horses are ready. Quickly follow this lowly person into the palace!”

“I have the Fire Cloud Horse. Drive ten times faster!”

Qin Mubai quickly walked towards the backyard. After this torment, the entire family woke up. Qin Shubao, Madam Liu, and Shuang’er all came to the hall to find out the reason, and they couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

Princess Jin Yang was five or six years old. She was the daughter of the late Eldest Sun Empress. She had always been the apple of Li Shimin’s eye. She was really afraid of melting in her mouth and pinching in her palm. Moreover, this little princess was also very likeable. She was very intelligent, sensible, and docile at such a young age. As long as she saw this little girl, there was no one who did not praise her and feel pity for her.

Even if it was a girl from a commoner’s family, her life would be on the verge of dying from sudden emergencies at such a young age, which would attract a wave of pity from strangers, let alone a lovely princess from a dignified imperial family who had lost her mother since childhood.

Qin Mubai rode on the fire cloud in the backyard and rushed out of the door like a bolt of lightning. In an emergency, he didn’t bother with many vulgar rituals and didn’t pay his respects to Qin Shubao and his wife one by one. Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and gave Shuang’er a meaningful look. Shuang’er nodded in understanding and waved her hand, “Third Brother, hurry up!”

Didn’t he still have an appointment with Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang tomorrow to go to the Li Chen Residence? Looks like we’re gonna have to cancel again.

It was quiet in the middle of the night and there were few people in Chang’an City. Qin Mubai hurried all the way to the Black Tortoise Gate of the Imperial Palace. At this moment, the palace gate was already closed. Such a place was heavily guarded. Even if the Prime Minister General came to barge into the palace at this time, he would be forced to close the door without the Emperor’s warrant. However, seeing that it was Qin Mubai, the defending military academy hastily opened the palace door and let him in without any interrogation.

Qin Mubai did not stop for a moment. The strict rules of dismounting from the horse bridge in front of the palace were also useless to him. He quickly ran to Penglai Palace and jumped off the horse and ran into the bedroom like a gust of wind.

Outside the two Little Highnesses’ dormitories, there were already a lot of people surrounding them. Imperial physician imperial concubine, palace maids, eunuchs, Baiji guards, there are nearly a hundred people. Everyone was blocked from entering the bedroom. Many people were so anxious that they started to mess around, especially the imperial physicians.

Just as Qin Mubai appeared, he was shocked, “Alright, General Qin is finally here-please enter!”

Qin Mubai did not even have time to greet them one by one. He did not even see who was present and hurriedly pushed the door open before rushing in.

Just a few steps into the dormitory, he heard a low cry from inside. Qin Mubai was too familiar with this voice. It was Li Zhi crying.

Princess Jin Yang Li Mingda was quietly lying on the bed. An old imperial physician was taking her pulse with a vegetable-like expression. His hands were slightly trembling, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead. On the other hand, Li Shimin sat on the other side of the bed with a sad and anxious expression. He gently held Li Mingda’s other hand and stared straight at her face, not wanting to leave for a moment.

“Your Majesty, this lowly official came late. I’m sorry to die!” Qin Mubai strode forward and whispered.

“Mubai is here? Good!” Li Shimin suddenly regained his senses and with great difficulty wiped away some of the sadness on his face. He said, “Come and see what happened to her. There are so many imperial physicians who can’t do anything about it. She was awake just now, and now she fainted … I, my heart is like a knife twisting!”

“This lowly official obeys the decree!” Qin Mubai cupped his hands in response. Li Shimin consciously stood up and gave his seat to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai walked over and sat down beside Li Mingda. She held her hand and found that her fingers were slightly purple. Looking at her face again, her face was as white as paper, but her ears were somewhat purple.

Although the old imperial physician who was taking his pulse had been trying to calm himself down, his nervousness and fear had always been overflowing in his words. Qin Mubai asked softly, “Mr. Imperial Physician, how is Her Highness the Princess?”

“His aura is weak, his muscles and meridians are weak, his pulse is very urgent and chaotic. This is very rare-heart disease!” The old imperial physician said.

“What’s wrong?” Li Shimin said, “She is young, why should she worry? Why should she be worried?”

“No, no, Your Majesty misunderstands-this is not the heart of the heart, but the heart of the five organs and six organs!” The old imperial physician hurriedly said.

Qin Mubai took a deep breath and carefully examined Li Mingda’s symptoms for a while before nodding, “The old doctor is right … Your Highness Princess, it is indeed this kind of heart attack!”

Actually, Qin Mubai really wanted to tell Li Shimin that she had inherited this-a congenital heart disease! He remembered that when he was in primary school in his previous life, there was a fellow deskmate who also had this kind of illness. Normally, one day, an emergency occurred in the gym class. Before he could be sent to the hospital, he died.

“Then what should we do?” Li Shimin sighed deeply and closed his eyes tightly on his back. He sighed, “Her mother has just left for a year, but I can’t take good care of her … In the future, how will I explain to the Empress under the Nine Springs? I, I … really feel like a knife twisting in my heart!”

Both Qin Mubai and the old imperial physician were slightly shocked-Emperor Li Shimin, who remained calm in the face of the collapse of Mount Taishan, was like a leisurely stroll in front of any storm. However, he was stimulated to this state by the sudden emergency of the little princess. In a short moment, he said twice in a row, “His heart was like a knife twisted.” It was enough to see how important Princess Jin Yang Li Mingda was in his heart!

“I can only do my best!” The old imperial physician hurriedly bowed to the ground.

Qin Mubai sighed in his heart, “With the medical level of the Great Tang, how could Li Mingda’s congenital heart disease be cured?” This was considered quite serious. She basically had no other choice but to have an operation!

But I’m not a surgeon, and I don’t have this skill!

For a moment, Qin Mubai felt a little sad in her heart. She clenched her teeth tightly and held Li Mingda’s hand and whispered, “Mei Yang, Mei Yang, can you hear me calling you? I’m the Village Chief, I’m back!”

“It’s useless.” Li Shimin’s brows furrowed into a big lump. Although he tried his best to maintain his image and demeanor in front of his subjects, it was still difficult to conceal his intense sorrow and pain. He shook his head and whispered, “I’ve called her countless times, but I just didn’t wake up …”

Qin Mubai did not give up and continued to whisper in Li Mingda’s ear.

Once, twice … more than ten times later.

Qin Mubai suddenly felt a faint sound coming from his ear. Li Mingda spoke!

“Village Chief … I’m so scared! Hug me, I’m scared!”

Qin Mubai’s heart trembled as if an electric current had struck him. He turned around and saw that Li Mingda had opened his eyes and was talking to him like a mosquito.

“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid! The village chief is here, no one can bully you! Come, the village chief hug you!” Qin Mubai carefully stretched his arm behind her neck and took the pillow. Then, he slowly picked her up and held her in his arms.

The old imperial physician and Li Shimin were stunned!

Li Shimin was so surprised that his face was trembling, “Wake up, wake up! My precious son, wake up!”

Qin Mubai hugged the princess in her arms, trying to make her feel more comfortable. She raised her head higher in order to adjust her breathing. However, she was extremely weak and her two thin arms were hanging down. She only opened a crack in her eyes and said in a daze, “Village Chief, I’m so scared. There are monsters trying to catch me. Hui Tai Lang wants to eat me. I’m so scared …”

“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid! The Village Chief is here. He will help you beat those villains back and drive them far away. No one will bully us anymore!” Qin Mubai whispered in her ear.

Li Zhi couldn’t help but cry, “I’m not afraid. The village chief is back! Hurry up and wake up. Let’s play the game of Happy Goat and Hui Tai Lang together!”

“Your Highness, don’t cry. Your Highness needs to be quiet now. You can’t be provoked by anything else.” Qin Mubai hurriedly turned around and said.

Li Shimin, whose eyes were somewhat red, took a deep breath as if he was trying to hold back his tears and patted Li Zhi’s shoulder, “Slave pheasant, follow Father Emperor out. Don’t disturb you here … Village Chief. He will protect the beautiful sheep.”

“Huang’er obeys.” Li Zhi nodded obediently. He was held by Li Shimin and walked out reluctantly. He still couldn’t help but whisper, “Mei Yang, you have to get better quickly, you have to get better …”

Only Qin Mubai and Li Mingda were left in the room. The old imperial physician also sat a little further away tactfully, holding a lamp in his hand and writing the prescription.

Qin Mubai sat on the couch and hugged Li Mingda like this. He kept coaxing her to talk and used massage techniques to help her revive her blood essence and clear her meridians. Baiji had trained in all kinds of first aid methods, and Qin Mubai had also learned a lot in the military academy in his previous life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to teach them.

After a long time, Li Mingda finally woke up. He struggled to blink his eyes a few times and her face turned pale. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “Village Chief, it’s really you!” I just dreamed that there were many monsters and big gray wolves trying to eat me, and I was scared to death. Then the Village Chief came. What a brave Village Chief. He knocked them all back in a flash. I woke up … I had a long dream! ”

This smile was like a white lotus flower blooming in a pool of blood. It instantly made Qin Mubai’s heart tighten-it was so beautiful and breathtaking!

“Mm, it’s good that you’re awake. It’s fine.” Qin Mubai had never smiled so comfortably and relaxed before. The corners of his mouth were gently lifted, and the sun seemed to bloom with sunlight. He said softly, “Beautiful sheep, with the village chief here, don’t be afraid of anything.”

“Yes, I’m not afraid.” Li Mingda closed his eyes and retracted into Qin Mubai’s arms happily and contentedly. His thin arms hugged Qin Mubai’s neck tightly and put his head on his shoulder. He actually laughed.

This laugh made Qin Mubai’s heart ache.

Although Li Mingda didn’t have any blood relationship with him, Qin Mubai unknowingly liked this smart, sensible, cute, and innocent little girl after getting along with him these past few days. In terms of relationship, the two of them were just masters and servants. But emotionally, Li Mingda treated Qin Mubai as his protector, and Qin Mubai unknowingly felt that she was his precious daughter.

Women are maternal and men are paternal. Seeing a girl like Li Mingda, everyone was prone to overflowing fatherhood, not to mention Qin Mubai, who was a sentimental seed.

The imperial physician wrote the prescription and quietly left.

Outside the bedroom, there were still a large number of people waiting. Seeing the imperial physician come out, Li Shimin hurriedly pulled him and asked, “How is the situation?”

“Miracle! What a miracle!” The cold sweat on the old imperial physician’s forehead hadn’t dried yet, and he said excitedly, “At that moment, it was truly extremely dangerous.” This lowly official was afraid of frightening His Majesty, so he didn’t dare to tell the truth-if His Highness the Princess hadn’t managed to survive just now, then it was really possible … to die young just like that! Fortunately, His Highness the Princess managed to survive and awaken. This emergency came and went quickly, so there shouldn’t be any major problems. “I just need to take good care of her and take care of her medication in the future, so that she won’t suffer any intense stimulation, loneliness, sadness, and pain anymore. It won’t be a big problem.”

“That’s good!” Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief and patted his forehead a few times, as if he had escaped death. The people beside him also heaved a long sigh of relief, and their hearts finally calmed down.

“Your Majesty, what the princess is suffering from should be a heart twisting disease caused by the mother’s fetus. Needle Stone Medicine can only temporarily cure it, unable to break its roots.” The old imperial physician said, “In other words, although Her Royal Highness is fine now, it is hard to guarantee that she will attack again in the future. Therefore, Her Royal Highness must be happy every day in the future. There must be no worries or depression, no sadness or tiredness, and no great stimulation. Otherwise … what kind of illness is she going to suffer? It’s truly unpredictable!”

“Yes, I know.” Li Shimin took a deep breath and returned with the attitude of ruling over the world. He waved his hand and said, “It’s fine now. Please leave.”

“Follow the decree.” A group of palace imperial physicians, palace maids, eunuchs, and the like stepped down one after another. Only Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and the soldiers of Baiji were left outside the dormitory.

“Pheasant slave, let’s go in and take a look.” Li Shimin pulled Li Zhi open the door and stopped at the entrance of the bedroom.

Qin Mubai hugged Li Mingda and sat on the couch. She placed her finger on her lips and made a “silence” gesture to Li Shimin. Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and led Li Zhi out, carefully closing the door.

“Slave Pheasant, go to bed with Father Emperor tonight. Your son is asleep, let’s not disturb her.”

“Mm! With the village chief here, Father Emperor doesn’t have to worry. I’ll wake up tomorrow morning and be able to laugh again!”

“You child, you will make father happy … Let’s go!” Li Shimin finally revealed a happy expression and chuckled.

A huge rock in his heart, which was almost suffocating, landed on the ground with a loud boom.
