Su Jianguo opened the envelope and looked through it quickly, his face ashen. Su Huan struggled to stand up and walked to his father and asked: "Dad, what did uncle say in the letter?"
"Alas!" Su Jianguo sighed and handed the letter to Su Huan, "Does your uncle have anything else to explain?"
"My uncle told me that my father must protect the Fourteenth Prince no matter what. This is an important matter, and the rest does not matter."
Su Jianguo asked: "Is there anything else to explain?"
Su Heng said: "Uncle is in a hurry to go to see the saint. He just wants to take care of the child and get on the road quickly. Don't delay."
Su Jianguo slumped down on the chair and said, "It seems that the emperor still attaches great importance to the Fourteenth Prince."
Seeing that his father's face was ashen, Su Huan was shocked and said: "Dad, could it be that the Fourteenth Prince..."
Su Jianguo said: "My life is safe, but the remaining poison has not been completely eliminated, and I am still in a coma."
"Then what does the doctor say?" Su Heng was also anxious. If the Fourteenth Prince did something bad, Long Yan would be furious. I'm afraid the uncle wouldn't be able to protect them by then, and his career would be over.
Su Jianguo said: "I can't count on the doctors in the city, but Miss Zhu who is with the prince is very skilled in medicine. We can ask her to look at the root cause of your cousin's disease. Maybe..."
As Su Jianguo continued to talk, Su Heng said, "Dad, when are you still worried about your cousin? Is that Miss Zhu confident that she can detoxify the prince?"
Su Jianguo sighed and said: "It seems quite certain. I don't think Commander Neng Ding is very anxious. However, the prince has not woken up yet, and my father is really afraid that the prince will suffer from some illness. You must know the situation in Huacima Country.
That prince, Huaci Yelu, is afraid of the Fourteenth Prince, so he doesn't dare to invade our Daliang Kingdom, and is willing to pay tribute every year. If the Fourteenth Prince does something wrong, do you think the Emperor will spare us lightly?"
Su Huan comforted him: "Dad, there is no need to worry too much at the moment. This hasn't happened yet, hasn't it? Let's take it one step at a time. If something is going to happen, what's going to happen will come. You can't avoid it even if you want to. Father, Ma Captor
Have you ever been here before?"
Su Jianguo shook his head, he was so confused now.
Su Huan saw this matter more clearly than Su Jianguo.
"Dad, my uncle specifically told me that the treatment of the Fourteenth Prince is the most important thing, and that other things do not matter. Does he mean to ask you not to investigate too deeply into the pursuit of the assassin? Sheng Guang may be involved in this?"
Su Jianguo was enlightened, clapped his hands and said, "Thanks to my son for reminding me, I'll call Ma Chengren right away."
Su Huan nodded but saw that his old father was still frowning. He helped his father sit down on the grand master's chair and comforted him: "Given the emperor's reliance on my uncle, he will show some mercy to us. Father does not need to worry too much."
Su Jianguo looked out the dark window and said: "You don't know, this emperor - well, I hope so, I hope so. Ah Heng, you should go and rest when you are tired, butler -"
The butler immediately appeared at the door, stood with his hands lowered, and said: "Master!"
"Help the young master go back to his room and rest!"
The housekeeper walked into the study and helped Su Huan up. Su Huan glanced at his old father, who was frowning deeply, and said with concern: "Dad, you should go to rest early."
Su Jianguo waved his hand and said: "I know, let's go!"
Su Heng left the study. Su Jianguo was full of thoughts and sat alone in a daze.
Just as Su Huan returned to Su Mansion, Xu Gou also came back.
Xu Gou was a trainee and was fast on his feet. Even though he followed Su Tao halfway and watched him enter the palace gate before turning back, he still arrived almost at the same time as Su Huan.
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Shen Hou and Yin Hu sitting on the eaves. When they saw him coming back, they jumped down from the eaves at the same time, and the three of them entered the house together.
I saw Zhu Ying lying crookedly on the chair, her mouth was dripping with laughter, and her long legs were raised on the armrest in an inelegant manner. Her posture was unbearable to look at. No wonder Yin Hu and Shen Hou were running to the roof.
Xu Gou's arrival made Zhu Ying sober up. She saw Xu Gou looking at her warily and wiping his saliva. He immediately stood up and said, "You guys talk, you guys talk, I'll go take a nap!"
After saying that, she walked out. Ding Yi pulled her back and said, "It doesn't matter!"
Zhu Ying had no choice but to sit down obediently again.
Xu Gou reported everything Su Heng saw and heard after meeting Su Tao.
Ding Yi pondered and said: "Isn't the assassin sent by the Dog Emperor?"
The air in the room suddenly became solemn, and things became more and more confusing. If it was not sent by the emperor, then which force could it be? Who else wanted to harm the prince?
When Nongzhu appeared in Mubentang, Zhu Ying and Su Lan were leaving, and the three of them missed it.
She walked into the Muben Hall. There were only Xu Mubai and Bu Gai in the medicine hall. Xu Mubai was fair and elegant, and he looked like a young master from a wealthy family.
Nongzhu stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu?"
Xu Mubai looked Nongzhu up and down and said, "Exactly, I wonder if the girl is..."
Nongzhu excitedly held his hand and said: "My name is Nongzhu. My lady hasn't returned for a long time, so I came here from Si Youguo to find my lady."
"Ah," said Bu Gai, "you are Miss Zhu's maid. What a coincidence, Miss Zhu and Su Lan have just left!"
"Gone?" Nongzhu asked anxiously, "Where have you gone?"
Xu Mubai really didn't know where Zhao Yu had taken Zhu Ying, but even if he knew, he wouldn't tell Nong Zhu because he didn't want this maid to be involved in danger. He took out a piece of silver from the counter.
Piao said: "Girl, take this money and go to Si Youguo first. When Miss Qinglian comes back, I will ask her to report to you that she is safe."
"Qinglian?" Nongzhu asked, "What does this have to do with Qinglian?"
Bu Gai said: "You are really strange. Isn't this your lady's maiden name?"
Nongzhu immediately realized that he had almost leaked the information about the young lady, and he quickly lied and said: "We are all used to calling her young lady, how can we call her by her first name! By the way, Mr. Xu, my lady has always done things in a measured way, and will never fail to explain.
You left immediately? Did something happen to my lady?"
Xu Mubai was asked a series of questions by Nongzhu. He hesitated and didn't know how to answer, and his eyes avoided looking at her.
Nongzhu was even more convinced that something must have happened to the young lady, and she would never leave without an answer. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a group of forbidden troops came outside, headed by a fair-faced and beardless father-in-law.
The father-in-law walked into the shop with the imperial edict in his hand. He saw Xu Mubai entangled with Nongzhu and completely ignored them. He cleared his throat and said sharply: "Xu Mubai takes the edict!"
Xu Mubai looked at the door when he heard the sound and recognized that the eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict was none other than Eunuch Jiang, the eunuch beside the emperor. When his father was still alive, it was Eunuch Jiang who came to the house when the emperor was in urgent need of help. He also touched
He had been there several times, so he recognized him, but he didn't understand why he came this time.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his taking in Prince Chun had come to light? He looked at Eunuch Jiang secretly, but couldn't tell from his face what the purpose of his visit was.
Eunuch Jiang frowned dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Xu, you still don't accept the order?"
Xu Mubai did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took Bu Kai and Nong Zhu to the front of the hall and knelt down. Eunuch Jiang then began to read out the imperial edict: "By God's blessing, the emperor said, Xu Mubai, the doctor of Mubentang, is specially ordered to accompany Chen Haishan, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital.
Go to Fengxian City to treat King Chun——Zhao Yu, here’s what I do——”
Xu Mubai was a little confused when he heard this imperial edict. Wasn't Zhao Yu fine yesterday? Why was he injured? And wasn't his junior uncle right beside him? Why couldn't even his junior junior uncle save him? What puzzled him the most was
Why would the emperor think of him? He has not been around anyone in the government since his father passed away.
Eunuch Jiang saw that Xu Mubai was still confused and quickly reminded him.
"Master Xu, Master Xu, hurry up and accept the order!"
Xu Mubai then hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him for accepting the imperial edict. Eunuch Jiang helped him up and carefully warned: "Prince Chun's current situation is not optimistic. We can leave as soon as we ask for Mr. Xu."
"Yes!" Xu Mubai responded in a low voice, "Father, do you have something unclear?"
Eunuch Jiang smiled knowingly and said: "Young Master Xu is so lucky to have noble people to help you, but whether you can prosper or not depends on your own ability!"
What Eunuch Jiang said was so profound that Xu Mubai still didn't understand it, but he didn't ask further. He didn't want to talk about someone like Eunuch Jiang, so it would be difficult to get any more information from him. He asked Bu Jie to bring him the medical box and follow him.
Let's go, he was already walking in the direction of the carriage surrounded by officers and soldiers. In the distance, he heard "Ouch" from Bu Gai, as if he accidentally fell.
He looked back but didn't see Bu Kai, so he could only shout loudly: "Bu Kai, follow me quickly!"
"Master, I'm coming!"
There was a muffled voice from behind. Xu Mubai thought the voice was a bit strange, but he was already driven into the carriage by the soldiers. Eunuch Jiang also got on, and there was an old man who was almost sixty years old. Although the old man was old, he was in good health.
, with a red face and a long beard on his chin, this person is Chen Haishan.
When Xu Mubai saw Li, although he had millions of questions at the moment, he did not dare to ask any more. Eunuch Jiang was a person close to the emperor, so he naturally had a clever mind. He had already seen the doubts in Xu Mubai's eyes and explained with a smile, but
His smile didn't reach the depths of his eyes and was only on the surface, looking so hypocritical.
"This is Mr. Chen Haishan, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital. But our family still remembers that Mr. Xu's acupuncture skills are amazing. He is one of the best in our country of Great Liang. Our old Han's leg was pricked with his little needle.
After a few strokes, all the pain was gone."
"Thank you for the compliment, father-in-law, but my nephew has not learned the essence of it. I am really ashamed of my late father."
"My nephew, I'm so sorry." Chen Haishan touched the long beard under his chin and looked at Xu Mubai with a loving smile like an elder, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Three years ago, the Taiyuan Hospital selected talents, and Uncle Chen was
After witnessing my late nephew’s unique skill in pricking acupuncture points with golden needles, if my nephew hadn’t suddenly felt unwell during surgery, I wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to enter Tai Hospital. However, my nephew’s golden needle technique amazed everyone, and it’s no wonder...
…”
Eunuch Jiang coughed slightly at the right time to stop Chen Haishan from continuing. Chen Haishan also knew that he had spilled the beans and immediately closed his mouth.
Xu Mubai also fell into deep thought: Who would recommend him? This chapter has been completed!
