Xiaocao herself knew that if she buried herself in the piles of books in the Imperial Hospital, it would not be easy to get out. She had several patients who took a long time to treat and needed to be arranged. Fortunately, their conditions were relatively good and they were not in the initial stage of treatment.
Mrs. Zhen's mother's Alzheimer's disease is relatively stable. She knows some basic physiological needs and has someone to take care of her at all times. It is indeed much easier than before.
The problems with the heart and liver of the Marquis of Pingjin were under control because of early treatment, and she is gradually recovering. Although she has not fully recovered so quickly, she is not in danger of becoming seriously ill and unable to get up due to her mood swings. However, she is not young after all, and even after she recovers from her illness, she will certainly not be able to be the same as young people, and she still needs to take good care of herself.
Next is Xiaocao's elder brother-in-law, Lu Deyuan. He has been receiving treatment for more than three months. The area that was originally necrotic due to the drugs has regained its vitality. Of course, he is still some distance away from having a baby, but the frequency of treatment does not need to be as high as at the beginning.
The last one is Dingbei King Mu Bei. His injury has recovered well and he has entered the rehabilitation stage. However, because willow branches were used to set his bones, the rehabilitation process will be slow. It is estimated that it will take at least three months and as long as half a year. Mu Bei is a tough man, and the pain of rehabilitation is really nothing. Instead, we are worried that he will overexert himself. However, he made a mistake before, and faced with Xiao Cao's dark face, he dared not make a second mistake. When he was rehabilitating, there was someone watching him and reminding him when he was almost done, so it was no problem.
Except for Lu Deyuan who came to Wenrenjia every time, Xiaocao went around to the rest of them one by one. In addition to her job, she told them that she would not visit them again, at least in the short term, and if there were any problems, they could ask someone to go to Wenrenjia.
Facing Mu Bei, Xiao Cao was calm, but Mu Bei was not so open-minded. However, his good upbringing prevented him from being rude. He hesitated several times and finally said, "I wonder how is Prince Wei's health now?"
"It's okay." Occasionally, he would show emotions that he shouldn't have, but after restraining himself, Xiaocao would not easily let himself show up again.
Mu Bei moved his lips, "That's good." It was a very soft sentence, almost inaudible, but it seemed to contain thousands of words.
Xiaocao smiled and didn't care about the emotions that Mu Bei might be hiding. There was no need and it would only be a waste of trouble.
Xiaocao would leave directly after finishing her own things. When she was free, she would stay and chat. Although Xiaocao had traveled all over the country with her adoptive father, if you count carefully, it had been seven or eight years. With today's inconvenient transportation, it was not easy to go anywhere and it took a long time. Therefore, there were many places she had been to, but actually even more places she had not been to, including Northern Xinjiang. Naturally, she was interested in learning about the customs and culture of Northern Xinjiang.
The situation is different now. She has a lot of things to do, so chatting can only be done later.
Xiaocao returned home and went to the Imperial Hospital in the afternoon.
She proposed to borrow medical books from the Imperial Medical Service, and most people naturally welcomed it. But unfortunately, the Imperial Medical Service essentially belonged to the royal family, and outsiders could not easily get involved, let alone borrow medical books. Even their envoys could not make the decision.
Of course, there were also people who directly mocked her, saying that she taught them medical skills when they were in the palace, but in fact, her real intention was not to teach them medical skills, but to covet the medical skills of the Imperial Hospital. How could someone like her deserve the emperor's praise
Xiao Cao didn't bother to pay attention to the sour words. If she had known this, she might as well have gone directly to see Emperor Xuanren. In the end, she was still not thoughtful enough. Or even if she had asked her family, she probably wouldn't have made this extra trip.
Although given her status, it was almost impossible for her to meet Emperor Xuanren, that was without anyone's help.
After being rejected, Xiaocao turned around and went to find the young master, hoping that he could take her into the palace. It was not impossible to find her own fiancé, but it was obvious that it would be more convenient and faster for the young master to enter the palace.
The young master is not in his own Duke's Mansion, but in the Princess's Mansion next door.
There is only one master in the young master's mansion, so naturally there are not too many servants. However, they are all carefully selected and there is no need to worry about any problems. Therefore, most of them know that Xiaocao repaired their master's cleft lip. When they saw Xiaocao coming to their house, they were very enthusiastic and quickly found Fan Wuguo.
Fan Wu came over quickly and hurriedly, "Sister, you came at the right time. I was planning to look for you."
"What's wrong? Is someone sick?" She is a doctor, and this is her first reaction to anyone who comes to her for help.
"My mother caught a cold in early spring and has been coughing all the time. She hasn't been feeling well, on and off. She took some medicine and got better, but it came back again after a few days. It's been a few months now, and she hasn't recovered completely. It doesn't seem like a big problem, but it's really annoying. I think those people in the Imperial Hospital are really useless."
Xiaocao really wants to say that this person is prone to illness, and it really cannot be blamed on the doctor's incompetence. It may also be due to poor physical condition, weak resistance, or some other reasons. Of course, the possibility that the medicine is not suitable for the disease cannot be ruled out.
Xiaocao met Princess Fukang. This noble lady was a little different from what she had expected. She did not have a strong aura and was rather gentle. If one did not know her background, one might have thought she was a gentle and pretty girl.
However, Xiaocao also knew that one cannot judge this person by her appearance alone. After all, Princess Fukang had the courage to save her brother and was able to withstand the pressure to raise her own disabled son. Moreover, she did it openly instead of hiding it. It is obvious that her character is not what she seems. She is probably a woman who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.
However, Xiaocao also understood who the young master was because of his outstanding looks.
Although Princess Fukang was not feeling well, she did not stay in bed. Xiaocao greeted her, but before she could squat, she stepped forward and supported him, "Good child, there is no need to be so polite."
Xiao Cao didn't insist on squatting down, so she stood up straight and said, "Thank you, Princess."
"I should thank you." The princess looked back at her son with love, "I never thought that my son would be able to live to this day. When Wuguo came back yesterday, I was so surprised that I don't know how to express it. I wanted to go to your Wen family right away, but my body was not strong enough, so Wuguo tried every means to stop me."
"That's too serious, Princess. It's the duty of a doctor. Since I met the young master, it's fate."
The eldest princess nodded, obviously agreeing with whatever Xiaocao said. But it was obvious that she was really happy. Xiaocao felt that with her enthusiasm, the illness might be cured in two days.
The saying that people feel refreshed when good things happen to them is no joke.
Perhaps Fan Wuguo's flaws were really a huge stone weighing on Princess Fukang's heart. Now that it has been removed, she seems to have become "lively". Yes, lively. Xiaocao didn't know her at all and didn't know her temperament, but the people around her knew, and Fan Wuguo knew. From yesterday until now, that kind of excitement that most people couldn't detect has never subsided.
Young Master Fan couldn't help but hold his forehead. It was unbelievable that he would have a day to "annoy" his own mother, but now it was indeed a little bit like that. "Mother, let Sister Wenren check your pulse first? She came to see me now, maybe she has other things to do. If you have anything to say, you can talk slowly when you have the chance in the future, don't delay her work."
Princess Fukang patted her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes..." She didn't say anything like she was fine. She took the initiative to roll up her sleeves and let Xiaocao take her pulse.
The problem is not really big. Just as Xiaocao thought just now, with her current spirit, she doesn't need to take any medicine at all. She just needs to go out more, exercise more, and eat more, and she will naturally recover without any medicine.
This was the situation, so Xiaocao naturally told the truth. However, Princess Fukang was also in sub-health condition, so naturally she said a little more. Whether the patient listened or not, and followed her instructions was one thing, but she had to fulfill her duties.
Fan Wuguo had no objection and was very convinced of Xiaocao's medical skills. Princess Fukang was naturally happy not to take medicine. However, the servants serving by their side were still a little hesitant. However, since the two masters did not say anything, they naturally did not want to interrupt.
After confirming that his mother was fine, Fan Wuguo felt relieved, but he also kept in mind what Xiaocao said.
After that, "Sister, what is the matter that you want to talk to me about?" Fan Wuguo asked directly.
Xiaocao was never one to beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"This is a small matter. I will take you to the palace to see the emperor now. If you ask me, it's the people in the Imperial Hospital who are meddling in other people's business. It's just a small matter, but when it's really necessary to follow the rules, they don't follow them much."
"The Imperial Hospital is still serving the royal family, so the rules should be followed. If they make an exception for Wenren, they may make exceptions for others in the future, which will be a mess." Princess Fukang said gently, "It's better to just ask the emperor for an oral order. It won't be a big deal."
"The princess is right. I didn't think enough before." Xiaocao felt more and more that he might have been a little confused before.
Fan Wuguo leaned leisurely on the edge of the chair, with a look of indifference on his face.
"You..." Princess Fukang nodded at him lightly, "Okay, take Wenren girl to the palace. As for the rest, wait a few more days until I am better. Forget about you, don't make trouble now."
"I understand." Young Master Fan replied lazily, "Sister, let's go."
Xiaocao said goodbye to Princess Fukang and left with Fan Wuguo.
Compared to before, Princess Fukang was calmer now. Although she didn't show it on the surface, she stared at the door for a while, then slowly said, "I'm still a little bit unbelievable that Wuguo can get better and be like a normal person."
"Princess, please put your mind at ease. This is the truth." A nanny beside her said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, it couldn't be more real." Princess Fukang rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, where there were clearly a few purple and blue marks from pinching. "It still hurts now, I'm not dreaming."
The nanny felt distressed when she saw the princess pinching herself like that, "Princess, please apply some medicine."
"No, I was so happy at first that I didn't feel any pain. My son has recovered, so I'm happy if it hurts a little more."
Nanny was helpless.
Princess Fukang put down her sleeves and asked, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Because she knew the cause of the cleft lip and palate from her son, Princess Fukang had someone secretly investigate the Fan family without saying a word. She knew very well what happened during her pregnancy, and it was impossible for it to have a bad influence on her son. Therefore, it could only be inherited through blood. However, like Fan Wuguo, if it was from the royal bloodline, the problem should not be involved and the matter should be suppressed. But if it was from the Fan family... Princess Fukang would never let it go!
To avoid the news leaking out, Princess Fukang only told the nanny beside her. After all, this nanny had been serving her since she was very young. She did not leave the palace even when she was old enough, but instead combed her hair herself and has been by her side ever since then. For decades, she was the person she trusted most.
After that, Princess Fukang never let Fan Wuguo interfere in the matter again. Matters like children, especially those that died at birth, were secrets of the inner house. Fan Wuguo had many people he could use, but they worked well outside. It was not so convenient to investigate the inner house, and if he was not careful he might alert the enemy.
Although Princess Fukang has been living in the Princess Mansion for many years and may not show up at the Fan family during the holidays, it does not mean that she really does not care about the Fan family. On the contrary, although her relationship with her husband has always been cold, the Fan family has benefited from her brother because of her. After all, she gave birth to an imperfect son, and her brother felt a little sorry for the Fan family. She also thought so. Therefore, Princess Fukang sometimes acquiesced to the Fan family to get benefits from her, but it does not mean that she will let them suck her blood and place a lot of people in it.
Even if she is owed something, she should know when to stop. The Fan family is too greedy, so don't blame her for holding certain things in her hands. Once her bottom line is exceeded, don't blame her for turning against them.
Now we know that our son’s defects may be caused by the Fan family. Once this is confirmed, the nature of the matter is completely different.
It is just right for those people who have been placed in the Fan family to investigate this matter. You know, some of them are servants of the Fan family, and behind them are people in their sixties and seventies who have worked for the Fan family. Therefore, Princess Fukang may be able to dig up things that happened decades ago.
"Don't worry, Princess. We have already made some progress. We will have a clear picture in less than three days."
"good."
