Chapter 2052: Can’t You Eat in the East Palace?
Chapter 2052: Can’t You Eat in the East Palace?
“Your Majesty, although this sweet soil is rare, it is not rare either. It is almost worthless. How can we sell it to nobles and wealthy businessmen at a high price?
Even if we offer a high price, they may not buy it.”
Li Xiuwei asked immediately after hearing this. Although he was the vice president, he still had full authority over the operation of the hospital.
Dean Sun Simiao only focused on curing diseases and saving lives and conducting medical research.
So Li Xiuwei wanted to know what Li Shen’s plan was.
"Well... let's talk outside."
Li Shen was about to speak when he suddenly realized that the situation was not right. How could he talk about making money in front of outsiders? Wouldn't that be revealing business secrets?
Especially when he turned around and saw his father staring at him, Li Shen became more certain of what he had in mind: he must keep the money-making business secret.
Especially his own father, otherwise he might lose a share of the pie.
Li Shen has known his father's personality very well over the years. He is a person who gets something for nothing and always wants to get something for nothing, exchanging gloves for a bag.
He doesn't spend a penny but still wants to take half of the dividends.
This was not the first time such a thing had happened, and Li Shen had learned his lesson.
"Rebellious son, are you going to cheat again? How come my Li family has produced a bastard like you after thousands of years? You only know how to cheat and deceive."
Seeing that Li Shen was trying to do something behind his back, Li Shimin was so angry that he couldn't help but curse Li Shen.
"Hey? What you said is not right, when did you lie? This is medicine that can cure diseases and save lives, how can it be called a lie?
As a descendant of the Li family, I walk and sit upright. If my feet are crooked, I am not afraid of my shoes being straight. No, if my shoes are straight, I am not afraid of my feet being crooked. "
Being suspected in this way, Li Shen started to make some excited excuses, and was so angry that his mouth was choked.
He was one of the top ten outstanding young people in the 22nd year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the Person of the Year, the winner of the Special Award for Touching the Tang Dynasty, and a strategic partner of the Tang Dynasty court.
Which one is not a famous name?
If it weren't for the fact that the other person was his father, Li Shen would have reported it to the police long ago.
Li Shen was so angry that he didn't want to bother with his father anymore and walked out with a group of doctors.
"Everyone, I will have someone prepare food for you later. You can eat here. I will send someone to escort you to Chang'an City in the evening."
After leaving Hanfeng Hall, Li Shen stood on the steps and gave instructions to the doctors below.
Now is not the time to let them go back. I have just fed my father so much food. If there is any accident, these people can still provide rescue.
Although Li Shen felt that there shouldn't be any problem, he had experienced all these things personally or seen them with his own eyes.
Salt water, garlic, injections, and incense ash water are basically not fatal.
"We will follow the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Sun Simiao led everyone in saluting and accepting the orders.
Li Shen is their bread and butter, so naturally they have to obey Li Shen's orders.
As they were speaking, Empress Changsun came out with Concubine Wei and the Crown Prince.
"Why did mother come out?" Li Shen asked, turning around.
"Your father said he wanted to rest for a while, so we don't need to stay with him. Shen'er, you've been traveling so long, so come and have a meal with your mother."
Empress Changsun had regained much of her spirit at this moment.
"Mother, they haven't had their meal yet. Why don't we go to the dining room? I have something to discuss with them."
"Well, that's good. I'll have the servants deliver the meal to the dining hall."
Hearing Li Shen's words, Empress Chang Sun nodded. She thought that Li Shen should be discussing the emperor's illness with Sun Simiao and his group.
Led by the eunuchs, Li Shen, Sun Simiao and others came to the dining hall.
"Hey? What are you doing here, brother?" Li Shen had just sat down when he saw Li Chengqian sitting down next to him.
"Brother, I haven't had my meal yet." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"What? There's no food to eat in the East Palace now? Do we still need my brother to come here to eat?" Li Shen said sarcastically, his eyes full of contempt.
"How dare you say that? You stole two hundred thousand strings of cash from me. To make this happen, I emptied out all the money in the East Palace and even borrowed another thirty thousand strings of cash from my mother.
Tenth brother, you are too cruel. After all, the eldest brother is also a prince. "
Seeing Li Shen's eyes, Li Chengqian became furious and spoke angrily.
"You still know that you are the prince? How can a prince do such a thing as to complain? Brother, you are already thirty years old and you are such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child?
Even two hundred thousand strings of cash cannot make up for the emotional trauma and physical damage I have suffered.
Don’t eat at the same table with me from now on, go sit at the table with the children.”
Li Shen slammed the table and stood up. His momentum was even greater than Li Chengqian's, and he immediately overwhelmed Li Chengqian's arrogance.
I am the victim, shouldn't I ask for some compensation for mental damage?
"Okay, I won't bother with you." Li Chengqian was defeated. There was nothing he could do. It was all his fault. However, the death of the two hundred thousand strings of cash was too tragic, which made Li Chengqian unable to accept it.
"Hmph, I should be the one who shouldn't bother with you." Li Shen snorted and sat down.
Soon, a group of maids began to serve the dishes. Li Shen, Li Chengqian, Sun Simiao, and Li Xiuwei sat at one table, and the others sat elsewhere.
They are not qualified to eat at this table.
"Dr. Sun, you have been traveling so hard. I would like to offer you a toast."
Li Chengqian raised his glass and said to Sun Simiao.
This was a great honor. Everyone was toasting the prince, but this time Li Chengqian took the initiative to toast, which showed his affirmation of Sun Simiao.
However, Li Shen did not find it strange. Even though Li Chengqian was the crown prince, he also got sick sometimes.
Sun Simiao is now known as the most powerful master in the Tang Dynasty, and he can save lives at critical moments.
It is only right to treat such a person with courtesy. Didn't Li Shen, a guy who relied on his power, also treat Sun Simiao with courtesy?
Master Sun Simiao and his disciple were flattered and stood up one after another.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is what I should do. It is my honor to treat Your Majesty. However, my medical knowledge is not good enough. I was not able to cure Your Majesty. I am ashamed."
Sun Simiao said respectfully.
“Dr. Sun is too polite. If it weren’t for Dr. Sun’s miraculous healing skills that have stabilized your Majesty’s condition over the past few days, I’m afraid your Majesty would not be in this state now.
Come, let's have a drink."
Li Chengqian drank it all in one gulp, and so did Master Sun Simiao and his disciple.
The three of them looked at Li Shen at the same time, only to see that Li Shen didn't even raise his head and devoured the food in swift. He was really hungry after having been going through so much trouble for so long.
The three of them smiled at each other and didn't care. Prince Ji was just that kind of person who didn't care about trivial matters.
"Dr. Sun, where did my father's illness come from?"
Suddenly, Li Shen asked without raising his head.
"Your Majesty, constipation is usually caused by eating. I believe that your Majesty should be the same. The chief steward once said that your Majesty seemed to have become ill after drinking mountain water.
The old Taoist thought it was because the mountain water was not clean. "
After hearing Li Shen's literary words, Sun Simiao told him the cause of Li Shimin's illness.
