Thus, Ba Jie led the soldiers to the inn to look for the Monkey King. The Monkey King said to the soldiers, "Officers, please be patient. When my master arrives, we will go and treat the King together."
Tang Seng soon returned, so the Monkey King explained the matter to him. Tang Seng had no choice but to follow the Monkey King to the Imperial Palace again.
When they arrived at the Imperial Palace, the King saw the Monkey King and trembled in fear. He did not dare to let the Monkey King treat him.
Tang Seng only said, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. Although this disciple of mine is a little ugly, his medical skills are very good. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Hearing this, the King nodded.
The Monkey King had the King reach out his hand. Then, he plucked three strands of hair from the back of his head and blew on them. They turned into three extremely thin threads and were placed on the King's wrist.
The King had never seen this kind of diagnosis before, so he asked the Monkey King what it was. The Monkey King said it was called Suspensory Pulse Reading.
The Monkey King held the thread and said through the curtain, "His Majesty is overthinking things. He has been in a constant state of anxiety and longing. This illness is called Twin Bird Disorder."
The King nodded repeatedly and asked the Monkey King to write a prescription for treatment.
The Monkey King shook his head and said, "Speaking of this illness, it is easy to treat and difficult to treat. It all depends on your Majesty's wishes."
The King was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
The Monkey King said, "My prescription can treat it, but Your Majesty must also be in a good mood in the future. Otherwise, it will relapse. However, I can leave more medicine for Your Majesty. This way, you can be prepared for emergencies."
The King said, "Alright, I will listen to this benefactor. If you need any medicine, just let the Imperial Physician know. As long as there are medicinal herbs, they will be given to the Great Master."
Thus, Monkey King asked the imperial physicians for three jin of eight hundred and eighty medicinal herbs, as well as various medicinal ingredients. He also asked them to deliver the medicinal herbs and tools to Ba Jie and Sha Seng.
When the Monkey King and Tang Seng returned to the inn at night, all the herbs and tools had already been delivered to the inn.
Then, he, Ba Jie, and Monk Sha took out a few of the eight hundred and eighty medicinal herbs, mashed them and mixed them into three pills, and put them into a small box.
After that, Sand Monk asked the Monkey King, "Senior Brother, we only used a few kinds of herbs here. Why did you ask for eight hundred and eighty kinds of herbs?"
Zhu Bajie patted Monk Sha's head and said, "Are you stupid? If we only asked for those herbs, others would have guessed Monkey King's prescription."
Monk Sha scratched his head and said, "That's right, Second Senior Brother. Why didn't I think of that?"
Zhu Bajie leaned against the bed and said, "With your IQ, what can you know? Hahaha, good Junior Brother, you just need to cook for your Second Senior Brother."
Monkey King rolled his eyes at Zhu Bajie to show his contempt.
The next day, three pills were sent to the palace. After the King took the pills, he immediately recovered. Then he sent someone to invite Tang Seng and his disciple to the palace in a hurry, saying that he wanted to thank them for saving his life.
Monkey King and the others entered the palace happily. The King immediately sent someone to welcome them and asked someone to prepare a good vegetarian banquet in the Guanglu Temple to entertain them.
During the meal, Monkey King asked the King, "I know Your Majesty is lovesick, but I don't know why. Is there something on Your Majesty's mind?"
The King glanced at Sun Wukong and sighed. "We'll have to start from three years ago."
Ba Jie asked, "What happened three years ago?"
The King continued, "Three years ago, the monster Sai Taisui of the Xiezhi Cave in the Qilin Mountain saw the beauty of Your Majesty's Golden Holy Palace, so he stirred up trouble in the city and took her away."
That was why the King was lovesick.
