When Wei An entered, the old doctor was talking to Bao Ge'er. He smiled and joked with Bao Ge'er while holding a piece of hawthorn cake: "If Bao Ge'er behaves well today, I'll give this to you, okay?"
He had come here to see a doctor more often. The old doctor was brought here by Wei An. Bao Ge'er liked him very much. Among the doctors, he was the one who listened to the old doctor the most. Even Princess Zheng couldn't help but be nice to him. After hearing this, she smiled and said, "Yes, Bao Ge'er, if you are good, we can go out for an outing tomorrow, okay?"
Before they knew it, it was already summer, and it was definitely not the time for an outing. However, no one said anything inappropriate, and everyone followed Princess Zheng's advice to coax Bao Ge'er.
Baoger seemed to understand but not quite. He tilted his head and shook his head at the hawthorn cake.
Although he was young, he knew that every time after eating these delicious cakes, there would be a painful ordeal. He looked at the old doctor warily, snorted, turned around proudly, and turned his butt towards everyone.
This was originally the way he used to act like a spoiled child in front of his wet nurse. Later, King Zheng became displeased and said that if the child was taught like this, he would sooner or later be spoiled, and that he was not allowed to be so unruly. He had not dared to do this for a long time, but his health had been getting worse in recent days, and the little child could only express his dissatisfaction in this way, apart from crying.
Princess Zheng's eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry again. She held back her tears after a while, smiled bitterly, and coaxed Bao Ge'er: "Bao Ge'er, be obedient. Let's take the medicine seriously. When you get better, you won't have to live like this anymore..."
Baoger didn't understand at all and just refused to cooperate.
The old doctor sighed, motioned to the nurse next to him to tease Bao Ge'er to play, and when Bao Ge'er was not paying attention, he caught him, took his pulse, listened to his heartbeat, and said with relief: "Fortunately, the situation has not worsened. Now we can only take it one step at a time. It's fortunate that it hasn't worsened. I'll prescribe some medicine first, and when Kong Gongsheng comes later, we can consider it together."
Princess Zheng nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work."
The old doctor sat down and asked Mr. Kong to wait for a moment.
After Kong Gongfeng came to see him, the two of them worked together to write a prescription. The old doctor then gestured and called Kong Gongfeng out alone. After thinking for a while, he asked Kong Gongfeng: "Gongfeng has been practicing medicine for many years. Have you ever seen a patient like the prince?"
Gongfeng Kong stroked his beard, thought seriously, and then shook his head: "I am not very knowledgeable... ... I really don't know how to treat the prince's illness."
No matter how skilled a doctor is, he would be at a loss when faced with such a disease. The old doctor carefully observed his complexion, and then asked a few more questions and related questions, until Kong Gongfeng could not stand it anymore and shook his head repeatedly: "Old doctor, although I have been practicing medicine for many years, there is a saying that learning never ends... For this disease, I have no way to treat it..."
Seeing that he was really at a loss as to what to do with this disease, the old doctor already had a rough guess in his mind and nodded thoughtfully.
Wei An waited until Baoger fell asleep, but still did not receive the news from Xie Liangcheng, who should have received it. He could not help but have a bad feeling and called Lin Yue over.
Lin Yue was also used to following her around and delivering messages. He was very familiar with Xie Liangcheng and the others. When he heard Wei An say that he was going to find Xie Liangcheng, he immediately listened carefully to Wei An's instructions and went out to do his work without any delay.
Seeing that Wei An was very nervous, Yu Qing whispered to Wei An, "Master Xie has always been very good at handling things. Besides, this is in the capital, in broad daylight... Don't worry, young lady."
Wei An couldn't rest easy. Didn't Bao Ge'er still get into trouble in broad daylight? Wasn't he also possibly being plotted against
She was too careless. She should have warned Xie Liangcheng early on. Since it might be the Xu family or Princess Linjiang who was behind this, both of them were very powerful. It would be absolutely dangerous to go against them...
Wei An felt uneasy in her heart and couldn't help but look a little anxious. In addition to her anxiety, there was also an uncontrollable anger rising up. No matter whether it was the Xu family and Princess Linjiang, if it was really proved to be them in the end, she would definitely not care about anyone's face this time, nor would she consider anyone's overall situation. She would make them pay the price!
It was not until the next day that Xie Liangcheng finally arrived. When he saw Wei An, he looked a little unhappy and said to Wei An: "Doctor Shi is definitely not normal. He is just an ordinary doctor who has been frustrated for many years. He has only recently become successful, but he is not rich. He actually has masters around him..."
Wei An had long expected that there was something wrong with Doctor Shi. Now hearing what Xie Liangcheng said, his suspicions were confirmed, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Xie Liangcheng recounted what happened when he went to Shi's house today: "I secretly pretended to be a mirror polishing craftsman who walked around the streets. I went to the house next door first, and then dawdled for a while before going to their house. Their house is in a very remote place, and the house is very shabby. Only his mother and wife were at home. I went up to them to get close to them, but his wife didn't pay much attention to me. She wanted to send me away, but his mother insisted on taking out a bronze mirror for me to polish. During this time, I found out some things, for example, his family used to be very poor, but recently they suddenly had money, and the clothing store on the street even sent a lot of clothes to his wife..."
This is not quite normal. You should know what others say about the officials in the capital. There are more fourth-rank officials in the capital than turtles in the Yongding River. Moreover, the officials in the capital are poor. Although they have ice and carbon tributes, that little money has to support their families and deal with interpersonal relationships. If they don't have some family background, it is not enough. Fourth-rank officials are often short of money. How is it possible for a small imperial physician to suddenly become rich and live so freely
Wei An knew what was going on, and his expression became even colder. He nodded and signaled Xie Liangcheng to continue.
Xie Liangcheng coughed and said, "I was thinking of asking around, so I tried to eavesdrop from the kitchen while drinking water, but who knew that I would be discovered right away. Someone jumped out from nowhere and kicked me to the ground, stepping on me... From the look on his face, it was clear that he wanted to kill me."
In the home of an ordinary imperial physician, there actually is a person with such extraordinary skills and who even dares to kill people. Doesn't this explain something
----It's Christmas Eve. We have experienced so many things this year. I would like to say Merry Christmas Eve to everyone today. I also wish you good health. After thinking about it, good health is probably the most common but most sincere blessing in the world. (To be continued)
