After reading medical books for a few days, it is unbelievable that his medical skills can be compared to those of imperial physicians in the palace.
Simply unheard, unseen.
"Old doctor, do you believe me now?"
Li Xiao looked at the old doctor calmly.
Hearing Li Xiao's call, the old doctor finally came back to his senses, then shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Mr. It's ridiculous that the disease has not been discovered!"
As soon as this remark came out, the officials below immediately exploded.
"Hiss—it turned out to be true! This imperial doctor really suffered from diabetes!"
"Doesn't that mean that there are not a few years to live?"
"Shouldn't it be? He is an imperial physician, and there are so many precious medicinal materials in the palace, how could he not be cured?"
"You don't understand, didn't you just say that there is no cure for this disease, you can only wait for death, what's the use of having more precious medicinal materials? There is no medicine for this disease in the world."
"That's it, it's a pity..."
……
Listening to these officials' comments, the old imperial doctor laughed at himself: "I have lived enough, and it's time to return to the earth."
After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists at Li Xiao, bent slightly, and said very respectfully: "Thanks to Mr. Xiao for reminding me, otherwise the old man would not have noticed it at this moment."
"The old man apologized to Mr. Xiao for what happened just now. Mr. Xiao has indeed achieved a lot in medicine."
"You don't need to be polite, the old doctor. It's the younger generation who is being rude." Li Xiao replied, "It's true that there is no cure for this disease, but it's not impossible to prolong life."
Diabetes cannot be eradicated even in the advanced medical science and technology of later generations, let alone this ancient time with simple medical technology?
However, although there is no cure, as long as you eat a reasonable diet and exercise, you can live for a long time.
It's just that the ancients didn't understand the profound knowledge of blood sugar and blood lipids, so they didn't know how to control the disease at all.
"Can you cure it?!"
The old doctor's eyes widened.
Chapter 13: The Poisoned Person
The old doctor looked at Li Xiao in shock.
He wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Li Xiao actually said that there is a way!
How can this be?
He had read information about diabetes mellitus from an ancient medical book before, and there was only one sentence in it except for the symptoms of the disease.
Those who have this disease will die soon, so enjoy it in time.
It is said in ancient books, how can it be false?
But Li Xiao insisted that there was a way.
While this shocked him, he also saw a glimmer of hope to survive.
Although reason told him that it was Li Xiao who was comforting him.
But he subconsciously chose to believe it.
"My lord, are you serious?"
The voice of the old doctor was trembling.
From this, it can be seen that he was very nervous and apprehensive at this time.
Who wants to die if they can live a few more years?
And the officials below were all stunned.
"No way?"
"Can terminal illness be cured?"
"If this can be cured, wouldn't Mr. Xiao be an immortal?"
"Impossible! I think Mr. Xiao was joking. The reason why a terminal illness is called terminally ill is that it cannot be cured. Mr. Xiao cannot have a cure."
Unlike the old imperial doctors, they maintained their rationality, so they simply did not believe that Li Xiao could cure terminal illnesses that no one could cure since ancient times.
Li Er also stared at Li Xiao suspiciously: "Xiao'er, are you sure you can cure this disease?"
"Father." Li Xiao said helplessly, "It's not a cure, but a delay."
"How to delay?"
Li Er also became interested.
"Um……"
Li Xiao thought for a while, then called his servants to bring over the Four Treasures of the Study, and then started the 'Ghost Painting Talisman'.
At this time, Li Xiao also hated himself for not practicing calligraphy well when he was a child.
When Li Xiao was writing, everyone stretched their necks, wanting to see what Li Xiao wrote.
However, after watching it, they all had strange expressions.
"Young Master Xiao, what are you writing? Why have you never seen this type of font before?"
"Hmm... some ancient characters look like hundreds of years ago. Could it be a prescription given in an ancient book?"
"You're mistaken, Mr. Xiao is clearly painting."
"Who said painting!"
Li Xiao raised his head suddenly and said through gritted teeth.
He felt insulted.
The speaking official immediately shrank his head and dared not speak.
Li Xiao continued to write, and after a while, he put down the pen.
"All right."
Li Xiao picked up the paper and blew on the wet ink, then handed it to the old doctor.
"There are some foods written on it, and these should be eaten as little as possible."
"Also, it is necessary to exercise properly on weekdays and strengthen your physique. In this way, it is not impossible to live a long life."
"Food?" The old doctor was stunned, with a confused look on his face, "Isn't it a prescription?"
"Of course not, didn't I say that? There is no cure." Li Xiao said naturally.
The old doctor hurriedly checked the words on the paper in his hand carefully.
Although the font was crooked, he could barely make out the meaning of the words, and it was really some common food.
But he still had an unbelievable look on his face, and asked in confusion: "If you don't eat these, can you curb your thirst?"
Not only him, but others also looked confused.
If Li Xiao gave a peerless prescription, they might choose to believe that it is effective for diabetes.
But isn't it child's play to fight diabetes just by avoiding these foods?
Since ancient times, how can there be such a cure?
Li Er frowned slightly: "Xiao'er, if you have a prescription, you can write it down. Father can assure you that the prescription will never be leaked."
"Oh." Li Xiao smiled wryly, feeling his head was getting bigger.
He didn't know how to explain the principles of blood sugar and blood lipids to these people, he couldn't explain it clearly.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao said, "Father, to tell you the truth, this is the prescription, and that's what I read from the ancient books."
"So that's the case. If it's written like this in the ancient books, then it should be correct."
The old doctor nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Li Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.
He also realized that the thinking of the ancients was fundamentally different from the thinking of modern people like him.
For example, before the invention of the first automobile, people pursued faster horses. They never imagined that there are vehicles in this world that are countless times faster than horses.
Feudal thinking is deeply rooted.
Just when Li Xiao was sighing, the old imperial doctor suddenly looked shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xiao: "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Xiao, I am very grateful!"
"Get up quickly, aren't you offending this junior?"
Li Xiao quickly helped the old doctor up.
"This old man is really ashamed!" The old doctor slowly shook his head and said with a face full of self-blame, "Before this old man questioned Mr. Xiao's medical skills. Whether it's medical skills or temperament, this old man is ashamed of himself."
"You're getting serious." Li Xiao said helplessly.
The old doctor sighed, then his expression returned to normal, and he clasped his fists at Li Er and said, "Your Highness, I really did not find any poison in the meal."
"However, it may be that the lower officials are less talented, and Mr. Xiao said that it is poisonous, and it may be true."
"That's all for now. If His Highness has no other orders, the next official will leave."
After Li Er nodded, the imperial physician slowly left the front hall.
But at this moment, another upsurge broke out in the hall.
Everyone's face changed dramatically.
"The old doctor said so, so could it be that someone really poisoned Mr. Xiao?"
"Is this still fake? I haven't seen the diabetes that even the old imperial doctor can't do anything about. Can Mr. Xiao have a solution? Mr. Xiao said it is poisonous, so it must be poisonous."
"That's right, after we've been in touch for so long, everyone has seen that Mr. Xiao is not someone who does anything wrong, how could he wrongfully wrong his own cook."
"Hiss! This cook is really daring. He doesn't even look at where this is. He dares to poison him. Aren't he afraid of losing his head?"
"As a servant, he naturally has no motive, maybe behind the scenes..."
……
The topic returned to the cook's poisoning again, and all the officials talked about it.
At this time, the cook Pa Fei's face became frightened again.
When the old doctor said there was no poison, he was relieved.
But I never expected that Li Xiao's few words not only showed amazing medical skills, but also made the old doctor change his rhetoric.
Doesn't this mean that he will definitely die today?
"Forgive me! Your Highness! The villain really didn't poison me! Really didn't!"
The cook, Pao Fei, began to howl like a ghost and beg for mercy again.
Li Er frowned.
So many things happened in a short period of time, and the truth changed again and again, and now he believed Li Xiao's words to a certain extent.
Someone really poisoned his son.
"Pao Fei!" Li Er said in a cold voice with a cold face, "Isn't this king treating you kindly all these years?"
"Your Highness has shown great kindness and virtue to the villain. The villain will never forget it. It is too late for the villain to repay you. How can you be so mad? Your Highness, everything the villain said is true, Your Highness!"
The cook Feizi looked terrified.
"You are in charge of the meals in Prince Qin's Mansion. It wasn't you who poisoned him. Who else?"
Li Er's voice was icy cold.
Who else could it be?
When Li Xiao heard these four words, a light flashed in his eyes.
He slapped his head with a slap, looking annoyed.
How could he ignore such an important detail!
