Chapter 38 You’d better seek help from someone else!

Of course Li Xiang would not admit that he did it on purpose. In fact, he was deliberately careless.

After bringing Sun Simiao back to the bedroom, Li Xiang asked as he searched, "Master, did those two bastards offend you?"

"That's not the case, but they were quite rude to the people, so I punished them a little."

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Does the master have this ability?" Li Xiang tilted his head and glanced at Lao Sun.

Li Wei beside him immediately said, "My lord, you don't know. I heard from the eunuchs in Mingde Hall that the two men knelt in front of Master Sun in a very embarrassed manner, begging Master Sun to let them go..."

“Hahaha… these two beasts have come to this day!”

Li Xiang cursed with glee and took out the remaining part and held it in his hand.

"This is the rest of the manuscript."

Just as Old Sun was about to take it, he saw Li Xiang's hand retract.

"But... Master, I have a favor to ask of you."

Sun Simiao took a deep breath and said, "Boy, are you waiting for me here?"
"Those two beasts... well, I hope you can keep them by your side and influence them from time to time."

Sun Simiao was surprised to hear Li Xiang's words.

I thought Li Xiang wanted to make some other requests, but I didn't expect him to bring those two people with him?

Seeing Old Sun's puzzled look, Li Xiang explained: "Those two are the guards of the Eastern Palace. My father has been a little..."

As he spoke, Li Xiang bent his fingers and tapped his temples.

"Anyway, I'm afraid they might lead my father astray..."

"They are the guards of the Eastern Palace. I am just an idler. How can I allow them to stay by my side?"

Sun Simiao's meaning is very clear. You should seek help from someone else. I am not being modest. How can I, an old Taoist priest...

"Aunt Changle is my father's sister. The two of them grew up together in the Qin Palace and have a very close relationship."

Li Xiang said, looking at Lao Sun sincerely: "Master! If you have any request, father will definitely grant it!"

"That's going to have to wait until the two of you come back." Sun Simiao didn't refuse, but he didn't accept it either.

"Come back?" Li Xiang was stunned.

"In the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, there is a prescription for treating qi diseases. However, this book has been kept secret by doctors in Jiangnan. The prince has sent two people to Jiangnan to buy it."

Sun Simiao said so.

"I see!"

Li Xiang was very happy when he heard that there were prescriptions in the book that could cure qi diseases.

It seems that my aunt’s illness has been cured!

Unconsciously, Li Xiang had already regarded Li Mingda as a relative whom he could rely on wholeheartedly.

Even Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had never given him this feeling.

He handed the manuscript to Lao Sun, who took it, flipped through it eagerly, then raised his head and muttered to himself.

After a while, he suddenly looked up at Li Xiang and asked, "Do you have any proof?"

Li Xiang carefully took out a brocade box from the bedside, opened it and handed it to Sun Simiao.

"Inside here is the microscope I made."

He pointed at the microscope and said with some pain: "Using this microscope, we can see the tiny bacteria clearly."

"Be careful, this thing is fragile," he added.

When he heard that it was fragile, Lao Sun became much gentler in his movements.

This crystal was given to him by Li Mingda some time ago.

A total of two microscopes and a telescope were made. This one was given to Sun Simiao, and Li Xiang planned to give the other two to Li Mingda.

"How to use it?" Sun Simiao's voice was anxious.

Li Xiang signaled Fubao to use a porcelain bowl to fetch a bowl of water from the pond outside and bring it to Sun Simiao.

Old Sun couldn't help but feel creepy, with his hair standing on end.

There were many tiny things swimming in the seemingly clean water. Some looked like small balls with dense black spots inside, while others looked like small insects, swimming back and forth in the water.

Could it be that... there are so many little things in the water we drink every day?
Even though Sun Simiao had practiced medicine for many years and was knowledgeable, he was still deeply shocked. In shock, he looked up at Li Xiang in astonishment.

"This... Could it be that the water we drink every day actually contains so much..."

"Microorganisms." Li Xiang continued.

"The real person should have seen that these things are actually alive. Once they enter the human body, they can cause various diseases."

"How to get rid of it!" Sun Simiao asked immediately.

"Fubao!" Li Xiang shouted again.

"Here." Fubao stepped forward.

"Go and boil this bowl of water." Li Xiang said.

"I'll go with you." Sun Simiao said immediately.

Several people came to the dining room of the East Palace. After boiling the bowl of water, Li Xiang smiled and said to Sun Simiao: "Master, you may want to take another look."

Sun Simiao immediately picked up the telescope and looked carefully. After a while, he looked up and said, "These... those microorganisms... have disappeared in large numbers, and the remaining ones are not moving at all!"

"That's it. By boiling the water, we can kill most of them." Li Xiang said with a smile.

Sun Simiao asked thoughtfully: "If we boil the water before drinking it, can we isolate most diseases?"

In fact, in this era, people did not have the habit of boiling water to drink, and most people drank it directly. The habit of drinking boiled water in my country can be traced back to the bacteriological warfare carried out by the Chinese after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"That's the theory, but these pathogenic microorganisms don't just exist in water. They exist on our bodies, in the food we eat, and in the air..."

Sun Simiao felt horrified when he heard this.

After a while, Sun Simiao asked again: "How did the prince know?"

"Dream about it."

Li Xiang said so.

"Dream about it?"

Sun Simiao's voice rose an octave, and his expression clearly said, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Oh yes, I saw a medical book in my dream, and I wrote down the general contents. I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect that what was written in it was true."

Li Xiang spread his hands, his tone melancholy.

You see, I only read some books in my dream, and I only have a vague understanding of these things. It's reasonable, right?

What book? Of course it’s the People’s Education Press Biology!

"Does the prince think I will believe it?"

Sun Simiao took a deep breath.

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

Li Xiang spread his hands again, looking extremely helpless.

"It's just that I'm still young, and I don't have much say in medicine, so I want to let the real person know about this disease."

"The Immortal is a great master of medicine in the Great Tang Dynasty. He possesses absolute authority. What the Immortal says is much more credible than what I say."

"Besides, I also have some selfish motives. Grandfather is old after all, my aunts are not in good health, and the imperial doctors are not very reliable, so I want to ask you to stay in Chang'an..."

"I am used to living a carefree life, and I am afraid I cannot stand the worldly constraints." Sun Simiao sighed sadly.

"Ah, I just remembered a special sterilization method recorded in the book, but when the master said he wanted to leave, I was so sad that I couldn't remember it anymore."

Li Xiang simply acted like a rogue, since he was young and no one would laugh at him.

Even though Sun Simiao had practiced Taoism for many years and had great skills in cultivating his Qi, he was showing signs of losing his skills.
