Chapter 388 Rigorous Scientific Research

The repair work of Jingyang Palace is in full swing.

But according to what Shang Zongguan said, I am afraid that this time the repair work will last for several months.

This is much longer than the three children expected, which means that they need to live outside the palace during this period.

During this period, the competition in the Imperial Garden and the reading in Qianxing Pavilion cannot be delayed, so the three children have to travel between Xingqing Palace and the Imperial Palace for a while.

But these two activities only happen once a month, so it is not that troublesome.

Moreover, Li Xuan is somewhat fortunate about this.

At this point, it is also a good thing to stay away from those people in the Imperial Palace.

After Princess Ankang won the last autumn hunting competition, she accumulated another point on the scoreboard, reaching five points, and widened the gap with the second-placed eldest prince.

The eldest prince had won the competition to investigate the case outside the palace last month, and his points reached three, and the gap with Princess Ankang was only one point.

Seeing that there was hope for the chase, he was left behind by Princess Ankang again.

It is now the end of August and September is coming soon.

Li Xuan counted on his fingers, and there were only four months left, which meant four games in the Imperial Garden.

Many princes and princesses had completely lost their qualifications to compete for victory, and even those who had points were far behind Princess Ankang.

Only the eldest prince still had some hope of a comeback.

In this situation, who knows what kind of madness Concubine Zhang would have, so it was better to stay away from her.

…

On this day, Li Xuan was accompanying Princess Ankang and Yu'er in the Xingqing Palace to bask in the sun and practice stone-slinging.

As a result, someone outside the palace asked to see him, and the person who came was Doctor Xue.

When he heard that it was Doctor Xue, Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, Li Xuan should have gone to find Doctor Xue a long time ago.

Because they had agreed before that the next time Li Xuan absorbed the cold for Princess Ankang, Doctor Xue would watch from the side, and he would also better understand what the coldness in Princess Ankang's body was.

But the last time he absorbed the cold for Princess Ankang, Li Xuan deliberately did not notify Doctor Xue.

At that time, Shang Zongguan had just told Li Xuan that Empress Wu might be unfavorable to Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan was panicked at the time, and it was inevitable that he would speculate on the position of Doctor Xue.

With the relationship with Fang Muyang, Li Xuan was not too worried that Doctor Xue would turn to Empress Wu.

If he had not seen through Doctor Xue's character and how much Doctor Xue cared about his apprentice Fang Muyang, he would not have easily contacted him.

However, Doctor Xue was a pure person who was obsessed with medical skills, and Li Xuan did not want him to get involved in the power struggle in the palace.

If he was involved, it would be difficult to get rid of it.

Li Xuan thought that there should be constant rumors in the palace these days. After all, the renovation of Jingyang Palace and Princess Ankang's temporary stay in Xingqing Palace were not trivial matters.

As for the fact that Empress Wu wanted to deal with Princess Ankang, under the deliberate exaggeration of Emperor Yongyuan, it was impossible for Doctor Xue not to have heard about it.

"Is this old man going to die?"

"Or was he forced to come here?"

Li Xuan frowned slightly, unable to guess the purpose of Doctor Xue's visit.

"Ah Xuan..."

After receiving the notification, Princess Ankang looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had also told the two girls about Doctor Xue's concerns.

The original intention was to make Doctor Xue a cover for Princess Ankang to recover her health, so there was no need to let this old man get into big trouble with them.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er also agreed with Li Xuan's opinion on this matter.

But today, Doctor Xue took the initiative to come to Xingqing Palace to find them.

Seeing Princess Ankang looking at him with an inquiring look, Li Xuan nodded at her.

"Let's meet and see what Doctor Xue's purpose is?"

"Maybe he has been in trouble."

If Doctor Xue was troubled by others because of Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan couldn't just ignore it, after all, the matter was caused by them.

But when the three children saw Doctor Xue, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, judging from the outside, the old man was in a good mood, not looking sad at all.

"Princess, how are you these days?"

As soon as he came in, Doctor Xue greeted him with a smile.

"Doctor Xue, it's been a long time since we last met."

While Princess Ankang returned the greeting, she looked at Doctor Xue's face, which was indeed the same as usual.

This made Princess Ankang a little confused.

She didn't make any more guesses, and asked directly:

"Did Doctor Xue come here today for a follow-up visit?"

"Uh, yes, for a follow-up visit." Doctor Xue's eyes wandered for a moment, and then he said, "In addition, I also want to borrow Ah Xuan for a while."

Hearing this, Li Xuan immediately became alert.

"Why would you lend me a loan for no reason?"

"Is it the Hongmen Banquet?"

Doctor Xue saw the alertness on Li Xuan's face and said unhappily:

"You little cat, are you so forgetful?"

"The matter of cultivating the Ziwu Twin Lotus mentioned before has been settled. We have to go to the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond. I can't get in without you!"

Li Xuan was stunned.

"Hey, it seems to be true."

But Li Xuan didn't believe it, and went out to ask Shang Zongguan again, and it turned out to be true.

Towards the end of the month, the effect of the Moon Yin Pond in the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond is approaching its mildest time.

Doctor Xue hopes to visit a few days in advance to observe the effect of Yueyintan on the cultivation of Ziwu Bingdilian.

After receiving a conclusive answer from Manager Shang, Li Xuan came back satisfied and agreed to go with Doctor Xue.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Ah Xuan's courage is getting weak."

Doctor Xue twirled his beard and mocked with a smile.

Li Xuan's two little ears immediately lay on his head, pretending not to hear.

At this time, Dr. Xue had already reviewed Princess Ankang.

As a result, as soon as he felt his pulse, the smile on his face suddenly faded.

Li Xuan knew what was about to happen, so he quickly took Doctor Xue out and called Manager Shang to prepare a car and enter the palace immediately.

"Meow! Meow! (Carriage! Where is my royal carriage!)"

…

Li Xuan and Doctor Xue were sitting in Princess Ankang's luxurious carriage.

Li Xuan was lying by the car window, looking at the scenery outside the window intently, with a resentful look on the back of his head.

Li Xuan made a sound and swallowed, not even daring to turn his head back.

"You can't trust me that much?"

Doctor Xue said coldly.

Seeing Li Xuan patting the carriage with his tail anxiously, Doctor Xue said to himself:

"I've also heard about the Queen."

"Are you afraid that I will be bribed by the Queen and turn against you?"

Li Xuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Doctor Xue with his eyes widened and his two front paws swinging, looking like "I never thought that."

Dr. Xue is now used to Li Xuan's lifelike appearance, which looks like a villain, and he just curls his lips.

He has lived to such an old age, can't he still see through this?

Doctor Xue blew his beard disdainfully, and then looked in the direction of the window.

"Although you are a little kitten, your concerns are right."

Li Xuan's eyes widened, but he didn't expect that the old man would actually agree with him.

"When the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital disappears, it's mostly because of this reason."

"So there is a saying: Don't be afraid of quack doctors, be afraid of good doctors."

Imperial Doctor Xue sighed to himself, seeming to be dissatisfied with the current Imperial Hospital.

But he turned around and saw Li Xuan's puzzled face, so he couldn't help but explain one more sentence:

"As a healer, the art of regenerating people is the same. If you make a mistake, you will kill someone."

"Idiot doctors do not kill, but good doctors kill and take away."

"No matter how famous these people were before entering Taiyuan Hospital, they have gradually become quacks."

Doctor Xue looked at the scenery outside the car window, his face full of helplessness and exhaustion.

Li Xuan patted the back of Doctor Xue's hand with his tail, and then asked:

"What exactly does that mean?"

"Don't the doctors at the Imperial Hospital treat patients well?"

Doctor Xue shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant."

"I can still see all minor illnesses very well."

"But when they encountered a "serious" illness, they all shook their heads, twirled their beards, sighed, and looked embarrassed."

"As for this serious disease, one is that it is difficult to treat the disease, and the other is that it is difficult to treat the person."

"Everyone is looking at each other's eyes. Who dares to treat someone carelessly? It's better to pretend to be stupid and get away from the incident."

"If something really happens, if you don't put a knife to the necks of these old doctors, you will see if they can do their best to help you."

As Doctor Xue spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, as if he was remembering something.

"But if everyone refuses, there won't be room for these imperial doctors in this palace, right?"

Li Xuan felt that the situation in this hospital was quite rare, so he couldn't help but ask.

Doctor Xue waved his hand: "Hey, there are so many serious illnesses in the palace."

"And I can't stand such a trend, so in recent years I have been the one to treat these difficult diseases. Other doctors are also happy to do this, and the nobles can feel at ease."

"Over time, all this mess fell on me."

"Being busy is a bit busy, but it also has the advantage that no one will touch me easily."

"I was invited by Daxing to write the book. Secondly, the nobles all believe in me. They are also afraid of losing me, a good doctor who dares to treat them well."

"So, you little kitten, you can rest assured that the queen has not come to me and will not come to me."

Dr. Xue's words were conclusive and full of confidence.

Li Xuan just listened, silently turned his head out the window, and then looked at the scenery.

But Dr. Xue couldn't bear it anymore: "If not, I would have wiped out all your bad things long ago. Why do you need to wait until today?"

"If you don't call me next time you absorb the cold, don't blame me for being rude!"

Doctor Xue was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He knew what was going on when he took Princess Ankang's pulse in Xingqing Palace.

Princess Ankang's physical fitness has gone further, far beyond the scope of ordinary people, and her pulse is sonorous and powerful, like a military drum.

This is simply incomprehensible to Dr. Xue.

But Li Xuan was wary of himself. He broke the contract last time and didn't call him. How could Dr. Xue not be angry?

But Doctor Xue knew that Li Xuan and Princess Ankang might be the only samples in the world, so he had to continue to seize the opportunity and strongly requested to watch next time.

While one person and one cat were chatting, the carriage entered the palace, and then they walked together to the Royal Bathhouse Yuqing Pond.

When they entered the palace, Manager Shang did not accompany them, but stayed in Xingqing Palace.

When they came to the Yuqing Pond, they found that Zhao Feng had already been waiting here.

"Ah Xuan, long time no see."

Zhao Feng greeted Li Xuan from a distance, and Li Xuan jumped onto Zhao Feng's shoulder and meowed at him.

During the days when the three little ones stayed in Xingqing Palace, Zhao Feng, who came to teach Yu'er martial arts every morning, could not come either, and it was indeed a while since they had seen each other.

But now Yu'er's practice has long been on the right track, and the practice of Feilong Sleeve has also made rapid progress after several actual combats, and the next breakthrough is already within reach.

"Doctor Xue, you have been waiting for a long time, please come in with me."

This time, Doctor Xue got the permission of Emperor Yongyuan to enter Yuqing Pool to try to cultivate Ziwu Twin Lotus.

The two people and the cat went straight into Yuqing Pool, which was still the same as before, always with a steaming appearance.

They went directly to the deepest Sun Moon Yin Yang Pool, and Li Xuan felt the special breath from a distance.

"I didn't realize it before, but it turns out that this Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond is slowly absorbing the Yin and Yang power between heaven and earth!"

Li Xuan was shocked. The closer he got to the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond, the clearer the feeling became.

"No wonder I was able to obtain the Yin and Yang power after completing the bottoming trial."

Li Xuan stood on Zhao Feng's shoulder and stretched his neck to look in the direction of the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond.

He could sense that the way this pond absorbed the Yin and Yang power between heaven and earth was very similar to the Yin and Yang Qi in his body, which was a slow transformation of the five elements of heaven and earth.

However, the speed of the Sun Moon Yin and Yang Pond was obviously slower than that of Li Xuan.

But it was unknown how long this pond had existed. Over the years, no one could tell how much Yin and Yang power it had accumulated.

"No wonder Yuqing Pool didn't allow other people to come in at will. It turns out there is such a secret."

If Li Xuan hadn't cultivated Yin and Yang Qi now, he would have thought that these were two extreme hot soups and cold soups.

At this time, Li Xuan remembered a detail. When he touched the bottom, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a formation at the bottom of the Sun Moon Yin and Yang Pond.

Li Xuan swallowed silently, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

"Does Emperor Yongyuan know about this?"

"He should know, otherwise there would be no need for me to accompany him in cultivating the Ziwu Twin Lotus."

Li Xuan's eyes swam around, not knowing what tricks Emperor Yongyuan was up to and what he was planning behind the scenes.

"If you can help me cultivate, just tell me..."

At this time, they had already walked to the edge of the pond.

"Doctor Xue, this is the Yueyin Pond. In a few days, at the beginning of the month, it will be the hottest time for the Riyan Pond, but it will also be the mildest time for the Yueyin Pond."

"If you want to start cultivating, this period should be more suitable."

After Zhao Feng explained a few words briefly, he stepped aside and handed this place over to Doctor Xue, a professional.

Doctor Xue took out an exquisite cloth bag from his arms, which was filled with crystal clear, black and white lotus seeds.

Doctor Xue carefully took out a black lotus seed from it, and then came to the edge of the Yueyin Pond.

Li Xuan and Zhao Feng both cast curious glances, wanting to see how Doctor Xue was going to carry out this cultivation attempt.

But the next moment, Doctor Xue threw the lotus seeds with a serious expression, and then the lotus seeds sank into the Moon Pond with a snap, and there was no sound anymore.

Li Xuan and Zhao Feng frowned together, and no one could say anything for a while.

"..."

Doctor Xue put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and looked into the Moon Pond, not afraid of falling into it.

Just this posture confused Li Xuan.

"No, old man, are you messing with me?"
