Chapter 205 Knowing that Tao Qian is dying
The pottery merchant ordered his servant to follow the prescription to get the medicine and boil it.
When the servants went to boil the medicine with the prescription, the potter began to have time to analyze who had added two herbs to the original prescription, which almost caused his father's death.
The pottery merchant thought for a long time, but he didn't expect that anyone would have the opportunity to modify the prescription. Just as the pottery merchant was thinking about it, a servant timidly said:
"My lord, only this doctor and you and I have had contact with the prescription here, and the prescription has always been kept on my chest, and I only take it out to see when it is time to boil the medicine."
The servant was talking, as if he suddenly thought of something, he continued:
"I remember when the eldest son handed over the prescription to me, I took a special look at it. At that time, the two herbs were written on it. I saw that the handwriting was different from other handwriting. I thought it was the last two ingredients. The doctor didn't Pay attention to the poor handwriting."
After hearing what the servant said, the pottery merchant began to think about it from the doctor. I heard that only one person came to this room when I came back. It was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and he said:
"I should have guessed who it is. The most important task now is to treat my father first."
The pottery merchant didn't mention Liu Bei's name. The matter was very important, and Liu Bei now had a heavy army in his hands, so he couldn't tell him about it in front of many people. He would tell him about it after his father woke up.
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, Tao Qian finally woke up after several days of recuperation by Lang Zhong, because Tao Shang was afraid that his father's condition would worsen, so Tao Shang did not let Lang Zhong go home at all from that day on. Live in the mansion.
After Tao Qian woke up, he saw the pottery merchant standing by and said:
"My son, how long have I been asleep? Why do I have such a headache?"
The potter hurriedly helped his father up, and used his body to support his father's back. The potter waved away everyone in the room, and replied:
"Father, the reason why you have headaches is because someone added other herbs to your medicine, which caused you to be in a coma. If I hadn't invited the doctor to come, I'm afraid my father's life would be in danger!"
When Tao Qian heard that he was about to die, he couldn't believe it. He was only suffering from the wind and cold, how could it be so serious, and when he heard his son say that someone deliberately added other medicinal materials to his medicine, he shuddered violently!Open your mouth and ask:
"Who wants to harm me?"
The potter came close to his father's ear and whispered:
"The child suspects that Liu Xuande did this."
Tao Qian asked in disbelief:
"Why did Xuande harm me?"
The potter said helplessly:
"Father, do you still believe in Liu Xuande? The doctor prescribed the medicine for you. Only I, the doctor, and Uncle Lin of the Fuzhong have had contact with each other. The three of us have no reason to harm you. I asked the doctor to come here two days ago and take a look. The original prescription was obviously hastily added with two herbs!"
Tao Qian asked:
"Then how can we be sure that Liu Xuande did it?"
potter said:
"Father listened to my words, and prescribed medicine for you in the doctor, and kept it on the table in your room. A few days ago, Liu Xuande brought a man he had never seen before into your room. Then he left in a hurry."
Tao Qian said:
"When Xuande came, weren't you also in the room? Aren't his two brothers who came with him?"
potter said:
"Father doesn't know. After Liu Xuande left that day, he came back the next day, bringing the man he had never seen before. At that time, I was not in the mansion because of something. When I came back, I was still a servant of the mansion. Tell me about this."
Tao Qian said with a look of disbelief:
"If it's true as you said, then Liu Bei has ulterior motives. He really wants me to die."
The potter said angrily:
"My father was so kind to them. He gave them money and food. I didn't expect to harm my father in the end. Such despicable villains, would my father still want to keep them in Xuzhou? If they continue to stay in Xuzhou, I am afraid that Xuzhou will die sooner or later." The last name is Liu."
Tao Qian nodded and said:
"My son doesn't need to worry. Since I already know that this person has a vicious heart, my father will definitely find a way to drive him out of Xuzhou, but he can't tear himself apart. I'm afraid the dog will jump the wall in a hurry."
After hearing this, the pottery merchant also nodded and said:
"Father is right. During the few years he was in Xuzhou, most officials in Xuzhou have made friends with this person. We need to think of a reasonable reason to send him away."
Tao Qian thought for a while and said:
"Son, have you investigated this matter? Are you sure it was Liu Bei who harmed me?"
The potter said angrily:
"Could it be that the father suspects that the child has framed him for Liu Bei?"
Tao Qian shook his head and said to the potter:
"My father never doubted you. You are my son. How could I doubt you? I'm afraid that if Liu Bei didn't do it, we would drive him out of Xuzhou, fearing that he would be scorned by the princes of the world. For Liu Bei's sake, Rescue Xuzhou and lead only a few thousand cavalry to help Xuzhou, let's figure it out before making a decision."
potter said:
"I know my father's concerns. I'm afraid that people will make irresponsible remarks and look down on us in Xuzhou. Father, do you still remember the strategy I told you a few days ago? We can follow the plan. Father pretended to be critically ill, and then called Liu Bei alone. Give Xuzhou to him, and see how he reacts at that time, if you accept it, then this matter must be Liu Bei's work, if you refuse, it will also help him get rid of the suspicion!"
Tao Qian nodded and said:
"I already know about this matter, but with Liu Bei's brain, even if it was given to him, he would not accept it."
The potter asked:
"He won't accept it? I think he will definitely accept it. It just depends on what his father does."
Tao Qian looked at the potter and asked:
"Oh...? What good plan does my son have?"
The potter said:
"Father, call Liu Bei and give Xuzhou to him. If he disagrees, father will let him go again, several times in a row, to see if he can stand the temptation."
Tao Qian nodded, agreeing with his son's plan.
In Liu Bei's barracks at this time, the three Liu Bei brothers seldom got together in the past few days, and Liu Bei had no time to take care of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He just sent someone to inquire about Tao Qian's condition in the prefect's mansion.
One day Liu Bei was drinking alone in the tent, when suddenly a soldier ran in and knelt down on one knee before Liu Bei, and said:
"Report! My lord, Mr. Tao is critically ill. I heard that he has started coughing up blood. The eldest son, Tao Shang, invited the doctor to the mansion to treat Mr. Tao. The doctor stayed in the mansion for several days, but he didn't come out."
