Chapter 722 - 722: Doting Second Uncle (2)
The Western Jin Emperor said, “You just have to treat him without worry. If you can’t treat him, I won’t blame you.”
This condition could be said to be very tempting. Those imperial physicians were sent to treat the young prince. If they could not be treated, they would all be questioned. It could be seen that the Western Jin Emperor was not a soft-hearted person.
The reason why he could compromise to this extent was firstly because of the powers behind Su Xiaoxiao, and secondly, it was also the most important, the other party was very integral to him, to the extent that he had to humble himself to seek medical treatment.
Thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao said, “I have to see the patient first to see if I can treat him. Or, I’ll take a look at his medical case and understand his condition.”
“Bring me the medical report.”
The Western Jin Emperor chose the latter.
She went to the Imperial Hospital with her Eunuch He to get a thick medical case.
The medical report did not record the other party’s identity. It only recorded the other party’s age, gender, illness, pulse, and prescription.
The prescription would be changed once a month. Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the only medicine he took once a month had never been changed in three years.
The Western Jin Emperor said, “You can take the medical case back and consider answering me in a few days.”
After leaving the palace, the two of them got into Ah Fu’s carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and took a look. After confirming that she was not followed, she opened the medical case and placed it on the table. “This is Second Brother’s medical case. The person whom he spent a lot of money to get me to treat is Second Brother.”
Wei Ting asked, “Are you sure?”
Su Xiaoxiao said firmly, “I took Second Brother’s pulse last night. It’s exactly the same as the pulse record on the medical table. The other symptoms match. In fact, these prescriptions are indeed for Second Brother’s legs. However, the effect is a little unsatisfactory.
“Second Brother looks like Yuwen Huai’s strategist, but he’s actually the Western Jin Emperor’s. However, Second Brother chose to assist Yuwen Huai from among the many imperial heirs.”
Wei Ting pondered.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “In addition, I have a new discovery. Do you still remember that assassin said that Second Brother needs to take the antidote once a month? I’ve been thinking about what the antidote is. I have an answer now. ”
As she spoke, she pointed at the medicine on the prescription.
Wei Ting frowned. “Stone marrow?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s also called stalactite. It’s usually produced in natural caves and is very rare. It has the effect of nourishing one’s life, breaking the chronic cold, warming the spleen and stomach, and vital blood. It shouldn’t be ordinary stone marrow.”
Wei Ting asked, “You mean that this stone marrow can coincidentally delay
Second Brother’s illness?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, but judging from the way the Western Jin Emperor is in a hurry to find a doctor, he shouldn’t be able to delay it for long. Either the effect of the stone marrow isn’t as good as before, or it’s about to dry up. Either way, it’s not good news for Second Brother.”
Wei Ting’s eyes darkened. “Second Brother’s illness can’t wait anymore.”
In the study.
Zhuge Qing finished dealing with the secret letters sent by spies everywhere.
He raised his hand to take the seal. His arm trembled slightly, and the seal fell to the ground.
“Sir!”
Mei Ji carried a bowl of lotus seed soup in and placed the tray on the table. She quickly walked to his side, picked up the seal on the ground, and placed it on the table.
The seal was not placed properly. The corners were not aligned with the corners of the table.
Zhuge Qing reached out and placed the seal upright.
Mei Ji noticed that his arm was trembling slightly. Her gaze landed on his face. His face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “Sir, do your legs hurt again? Didn’t you just take medicine this month?”
Actually, even if Sir hadn’t said it, she would have noticed.
The first time Sir ate it, he would not feel too uncomfortable for an entire month.
However, in the past few months, the medicinal effect of the stone marrow had been weakening. It had been reduced from a month to 20 days and then to half a month. Now… could it not even last for two to three days?
“Sir…” Mei Ji’s eyes turned red.
“I’m fine.” Zhuge Qing smiled. “I just haven’t taken my medicine.” Mei Ji’s tears fell halfway, but she held them back. ‘Where’s the medicine?” “In the cabinet,” Zhuge Qing said.
Mei Ji hurriedly opened the cabinet door and took out the medicine bottle. She handed it to Zhuge Qing. “Why aren’t you taking it?”
Zhuge Qing smiled casually and said, “I forgot.”
It was purely because a certain young brat made him so angry that he forgot to take the medicine.
Mei Ji heaved a sigh of relief. She was frightened to death and almost thought that the medicine was useless!
The medicine was effective, but it was indeed not that good.
“Uncle. ”
The three little ones walked in.
Dahu said, “I’m hungry.”
Zhuge Qing said, “What do you want to eat?” Xiaohu thought for a moment. “Pig balls.”
Zhuge Qing wondered, “What dish is this?”
After Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting returned to the inn, they immediately went to look for Zhuge Qing and the three little fellows. Unexpectedly, the door was locked.
“Looks like Second Brother took them out.” Su Xiaoxiao looked around. “Ah, right, where’s Fusu? I haven’t seen him for two days.”
Wei Ting choked. He had forgotten about Fu Su in the opera house…
While Wei Ting went to the opera house to inform Fu Su, Su Xiaoxiao was carefully reading her second brother’s medical case at the inn.
About an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
“Madam, a guest with the surname Shen is looking for you.”
Second Master Shen?
Su Xiaoxiao closed the medical book and went to the lobby on the first floor. Second Master Shen waved at her. “Madam Wei, here! ”
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and sat down opposite him. “Second Master Shen, is there any news that you came to the inn to look for me?”
Second Master Shen smiled mysteriously and took out the blueprint Su Xiaoxiao had given him. He unfolded it and asked, “Is it this medicine?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes.”
Second Master Shen smiled and said, “I really found it for you!”
