Chapter 5 Is the Imperial Physician Crazy Too?

Li Shizhen looked at Zhu Zaigui who had calmed down. Although he was still talking nonsense, he was no longer crazy, so Li Shizhen suggested: "Now we can help the prince to untie it."

Meng Chong looked back at Li Shizhen. It was obvious that he was a little hesitant. After all, Prince Yu's attitude towards him just now was not so friendly.

What if I let go and get beaten up by the angry Prince Yu? Wouldn’t that be a waste of the beating?

But the response Meng Chong got was just an affirmative look. Meng Chong had no choice but to approach Zhu Zaigui cautiously.

Meng Chong said carefully: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, I will help you untie it right away."

Zhu Yuan looked at the fat man in front of him. Although he knew that he was just an NPC in his dream, he still felt unhappy about being tied up.

Zhu Yuan snorted, "Why don't you untie it quickly? Do you have to wait until I beat you up?"

After being severely threatened by Zhu Zaigui, Meng Chong felt helpless and could only pray in his heart that Prince Yu would not hold a grudge after he was released, and that being beaten was just a small matter.

Meng Chong carefully untied the ropes tied around Zhu Zaigui. At this moment, he felt extremely aggrieved. It was clearly Li Shizhen who came up with the idea, but why was he the one who got hurt in the end?
After being untied, Zhu Yuan finally gained his freedom. He moved his body happily, then glared at Meng Chong fiercely, which scared Meng Chong.

Then Zhu Yuan looked at Huang Jin and smiled gently, "Eunuch Huang, right? I know you are a good person, but you must be careful of Chen Hong in the future, he will cheat you."

Influenced by the Ming Dynasty 1566, Zhu Yuan felt that Huang Jin was a lovely and good eunuch, so Zhu Yuan also gave Huang Jin a kind reminder.

After all, Zhu Yuan still thought that this was just a dream, so he didn't feel any psychological burden when he said these words.

But Huang Jin was deeply moved when he heard these words. Although he didn't know who Chen Hong was, the words "You are a good man" made Huang Jin feel that Prince Yu was also a good master.

Now that the Crown Prince has passed away, according to etiquette, Prince Yu is the eldest son of Emperor Jiajing, and his future prospects are immeasurable.

So when faced with Zhu Zaigui's comment "You are a good man", Huang Jin couldn't help but feel that Prince Yu was also a very good man.

Huang Jin bowed to Zhu Zaigui and said, "Your Majesty, please humble me. How dare I be so dishonorable in front of you? From now on, Your Majesty, just call me by my real name, Huang Jin."

Zhu Yuan laughed and took the initiative to help Huang Jin up. This move made Huang Jin flattered again.

Although he was a favored eunuch of Emperor Jiajing, he was ultimately the emperor's servant. It would be a lie if he were not excited by Zhu Zaigui's kindness.

Zhu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, it will be fine when you wake up."

Hearing Zhu Zaigui's words, Huang Jin was moved but also worried. It seemed that Prince Yu was really shocked, otherwise why would he speak so inappropriately?
But fortunately, Prince Yu's demeanor is still normal, and he is not crazy. This is also a blessing in disguise. I hope he can recover soon, which is also a blessing from God.

After getting close to Huang Jin, Zhu Yuan also turned his attention to the arrogant imperial physician with a goatee.

Although it was a dream, Zhu Yuan was still extremely sure that the imperial physician with a goatee was a quack, otherwise he might have tied him up directly.
So Zhu Yuan was not polite to Li Shizhen. He said indignantly: "Are you a quack doctor? What's your name? I'm fine, how dare you tie me up?" Zhu Yuan was full of swear words and looked unruly. He didn't look like a prince who was deeply influenced by royal etiquette. Instead, he looked like a street thug.

When Li Shizhen faced Zhu Zaigui's questioning, he knew that Zhu Zaigui was ill, so he did not take Zhu Zaigui's doubts about his medical skills to heart.

Li Shizhen bowed to Zhu Zaigui without being servile or overbearing, "I am Li Shizhen, the eighth-rank imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital."

"Oh, it's Li Shi"

Zhu Yuan, who was originally planning to say something contemptuously, suddenly changed his attitude 180 degrees when he heard Li Shizhen's name!
Zhu Yuan immediately bowed and smiled apologetically, "So it's Doctor Li! I've admired you for so long, but I didn't recognize you! Although we met in a dream, I still want to praise your Compendium of Materia Medica as a masterpiece that is truly admired by the world!"

Zhu Yuan's praise made Li Shizhen stunned for a moment, especially Zhu Yuan's attitude of being rude at first and respectful later, which made Li Shizhen even more confused.

There is also the "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentioned by Zhu Yuan. Li Shizhen was even more confused about what "Compendium of Materia Medica" is?
Seeing Li Shizhen's dazed expression, Zhu Yuan came over again and tried to hold Li Shizhen's hand and continue to flatter him.

But Li Shizhen took a step back and avoided Zhu Yuan's evil hand.

Li Shizhen bowed and said, "I don't deserve your praise, Your Majesty. I think Your Majesty must have mistaken me for someone else. I have never written the Compendium of Materia Medica."

Zhu Yuan continued to look at Li Shizhen with admiration and said, "Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future! Come on, sign your name for me."

After saying that, Zhu Yuan pulled at the hem of his clothes and asked for Li Shizhen's autograph.

Such behavior was extremely strange in the eyes of Huang Jin, Meng Chong, Li Shizhen and others.

Li Shizhen even dodged further back, fearing that Zhu Zaigui would pull him back and do something that he could not understand.

Zhu Yuan, who had been pulling at his clothes for a long time, suddenly seemed to wake up. He slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. I am dreaming. How can I bring out the signature in my dream?"

Zhu Yuan then said to Li Shizhen: "Doctor Li, I believe that our Imperial Hospital is not your lucky place. Your future is to travel all over the world, visit all the doctors in the world, follow the method of Shennong, learn all the herbs in the world, and after decades of hard work, compile the peerless medical classic "Compendium of Materia Medica". This is your mission!"

Zhu Yuan's words sounded crazy, but they were like a wake-up call that suddenly rang deep in Li Shizhen's mind, instantly illuminating Li Shizhen's originally confused destiny and future.

Li Shizhen didn't care whether Zhu Zaigui was talking nonsense at this time. He bowed to Zhu Zaigui solemnly and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."

Facing Li Shizhen's solemn bow, Zhu Yuan also felt embarrassed, "Dr. Li, you are too polite. I only have the opportunity to talk to you in my dream. When I wake up, everything will return to the original point. But this still won't prevent you from leaving your name in history and becoming a generation of medicine saint!"

Zhu Yuan's words "Medicine Saint" made Li Shizhen so excited that he could hardly control his emotions. He never expected that the person who understood him and had high hopes for him the most in the world was actually a patient suffering from amnesia.

Li Shizhen bowed to Zhu Zaigui again and said: "I will not disappoint you, Your Majesty. I will spend my whole life to complete your instructions, visit all the mountains and rivers in the world, visit all the doctors in the world, follow the method of Shennong, organize all the herbs in the world, and compile the Compendium of Materia Medica!"

Huang Jin and Meng Chong, who were standing by, looked at the excited Zhu Zaigui and the excited Li Shizhen, and they couldn't help but look at each other: Is the imperial physician also crazy?
