Yan Cigui.

For three consecutive days, Dr. Yue appeared at the Duke Fuguo's Mansion.

Eunuch Ye accompanied him every time, and he was inexplicably murmuring in his heart.

He is a respectable chamberlain to King Jin. Not only in the palace, but even when walking around the palace, he is treated with dignity everywhere. He is used to being praised, but he is not so ignorant that he cannot see through other people's thoughts.

In the Duke Fu's Mansion, all the people he met around Xu Jian, including his attendants and managers, were all very polite and considerate.

Judging from their words and responses, they did not object to "healing", and even hoped that a doctor would be able to help Duke Fu's legs and feet get better.

But in practice, Eunuch Ye's progress in the Duke's mansion was not significant.

The reason should still be Xu Jian.

Thinking this, Eunuch Ye raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Jian.

Xu Jian is reading the brochure.

The booklet was written by Dr. Yue. The treatment methods were written in great detail, one by one, involving the muscles and bones. Some pictures were also drawn to aid understanding.

Xu Jian looked at it very seriously, her brows tightening and loosening at times.

Eunuch Ye breathed a sigh of relief. At least, Eunuch Guo was interested in the method proposed by the doctor.

If you are interested, you can continue to push it down.

Xu Jian turned the page.

A long illness becomes a doctor.

He has struggled with his injured leg. Although the current injury is not comparable to the previous one, but with experience, he can understand the doctor's opinion to some extent.

Naturally, there were some things he couldn't understand, so he didn't rush to ask. After reading through them all, he turned around and sorted out those doubts.

After finishing it, he put forward a few ideas and spoke to Dr. Yue.

Dr. Yue answered them one by one and thought for a while from time to time.

The two of them talked for two quarters of an hour, asking and answering questions.

The more he talked, the more relaxed Dr. Yue became.

When doctors practice medicine, what they fear most is meeting patients and their families who "talk to themselves".

They have little or no knowledge of medical science, but they think they are very capable. They refute what the doctor says and criticize the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor. They show distrust from beginning to end.

If he encounters such a patient, Dr. Yue will retreat.

He practices medicine to save people and make money to make a living. However, it is difficult to guarantee the treatment results for unexplained patients. Let alone making money, it will be good even if he does not lose money.

Especially for powerful patients, they don't need to say a word, just a look can make their whole family miserable.

Obviously, Fu Guogong is not that kind of person.

If you communicate more, you can of course see it.

It's normal for Duke Fu to have questions. Just ask if you don't understand. This is to clear up doubts, not to question.

After all, it involves a leg injury. With a status like the Duke of Guo, there is nothing wrong with being more cautious.

This is not an emergency, and it won’t get better or get much worse. Of course, there is no need to be impatient. Therefore, choosing a doctor and treatment method is far more important than rushing a duck to the shelf.

If you can communicate the problem well in the early stage, you can have fewer twists and turns during the treatment process and get twice the result with half the effort.

Even if they couldn't reach an agreement, Duke Fu was unwilling to let him rule...

Then there is no cure.

Normal consultation money, assisting the Duke and the King of Jin, can he still be short of this little money?

Doctor Yue was very practical and answered all Xu Jian's questions.

At the same time, Xu Jian was also observing this "Doctor Yue". It seemed that this person really did not have any malicious intentions, but was actually a benevolent doctor.

However, he still did not relent, and when seeing off the guests, he kept saying "think again".

Eunuch Ye and Doctor Yue left.

Returning to Prince Jin's Mansion, Eunuch Ye called Doctor Yue and asked, "Is the treatment given too conservative?"

Dr. Yue was puzzled: "Conservative? The Duke's injury really needs to be treated conservatively, or not treated at all. There is no need for him to be radical."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Eunuch Ye.

Seeing the waiter's face darken, Doctor Yue couldn't help but murmur, thought for a while, and added: "I see that the Duke of Guo does not mean to refuse completely, and his consideration is not an excuse, but he hasn't thought about it yet, why not hold on."

Eunuch Ye chuckled.

Prince Jin came forward to invite the doctor, how could Duke Fu just refuse?
To give the prince some face, he had to ask the doctor to visit him several times.

But I just dragged it...

That was Xu Jian.

Xu Jian is not an indecisive person.

How could someone who dared to tie up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and escort him back to Yumen hesitate?

So, is it that Duke Fuguo doesn’t believe in the prince or the doctor?
Eunuch Ye was not sure.

I can't see any clues from the personal attendants, nor can I see it from the auxiliary official's face.

I have to mention this matter to the prince again.

Eunuch Ye thought about things and strode to the study.

Doctor Yue stopped where he was, looking at Eunuch Ye's figure, he couldn't help but murmur.

The strangeness that had been lingering in his mind for the past two days was still following him, and he couldn't analyze it clearly.

Half an hour later, Doctor Yue was invited to King Jin's study.

Li Du sat on the wide chair and said "Thank you" to him.

Doctor Yue said hurriedly: "I don't dare to take it."

"I heard that the diagnostic method has been written in a booklet. Doctor Yue is really interested," Li Du said. "I heard that Duke Fu was still hesitant. I think so. His injury can be overcome without treatment. Let's treat it." What Dr. Yue said was 'it will give you a little more energy' and 'it won't be uncomfortable even if the weather is cold', but it sounds like the effect is a little small."

The effect was small, so of course Xu Jian didn't need to take the risk.

Doctor Yue said: "As a doctor, you should not exaggerate."

"That's for the injured, not for an outsider like me," Li Du smiled and asked, "Tell me honestly, what's the worst that will happen, and what's the best that will happen?"

Dr. Yue hesitated for a moment and replied: "The worst is that I can't stand up, my legs are atrophied, and I will be in a wheelchair from now on. The best is to recover to [-] to [-]% of what it was before the injury. After all, after such a knife, it is impossible to cure it." It has to be like you’ve never been injured.”

"So, Dr. Yue is still very capable," Li Du said. "To tell you the truth, I originally thought that you would hide your secrets. All the treatment methods and methods have been given out. That's Fu Guogong. What kind of rare medicinal materials are there? , As long as the palace has it, he can get it, and with the help of the imperial doctors, he can completely treat the injury without you."

"Skills have specializations, even if you are an imperial physician..." Dr. Yue said subconsciously, but suddenly a thought came to his mind, and he immediately changed his mind, "Your Majesty reminded me, if you have the opportunity to consult the imperial physician, you may be able to restore the Duke of Guo's health." Gotta be better.”

Li Du glanced at him and didn't answer the question.

Dr. Yue was sweating profusely when he came out of the study.

At that moment, he felt danger, but he couldn't tell it specifically, just vaguely.

But he trusted his instincts very much.

With decades of medical experience behind him, he relied on his intuition to avoid several crises.

this time...

In the next few days, more and more people came to ask Xu Jian about his situation.

There had been a lot of rumors about Doctor Yue in the capital, especially when the Chen Dong family talked about the ten-and-a-half-month flowing banquet, which aroused the curiosity of countless people.

I watched Doctor Yue arrive in Beijing and go in and out of the Duke's mansion for a few days, but there was still no progress...

In the court room, Shan Shen was asking Xu Jian: "Does the doctor have any real ability?"

An Yibo heard this and advised Shan Shen together: "It's so hot that you can't remember the pain, right? Treat it in the summer, and you won't feel so uncomfortable when winter comes this year." Xu Jian looked calm, not at all impatient, but Not saying whether it should be done or not.

By chance, Lin Yun stepped in, met several people, and exchanged greetings.

An Yibo pulled Xu Jian aside and tried his best to suppress his loud voice, which was so loud that it sounded strange: "At the end of November, you will marry the princess.

It's freezing cold, the wind is howling, and there might even be snow falling. Do you want the people in the city to see the groom sitting on a horse with a hand stove covering his legs?
You are not afraid of embarrassment, at Uncle Chengyi’s house..."

Everyone in the uncle's house pays more attention to face!

I have to say that An Yibo is very capable of persuading people.

Especially the loud voice that could not be suppressed would not spread to every corner of the court room, but those standing closer to them, like Shan Shen, obviously did not miss a word.

Master Shan couldn't hold back his laughter until his shoulders were shaking.

Xu Jian laughed and patted An Yibo's arm: "I know it well."

An Yibo also knew that others had heard him, and his face turned red, and he said in a loud voice, "As long as you know what's going on."

Someone in the court asked, and after returning home, Xu Miao would naturally come and ask.

Since returning to the Duke's mansion, Xu Miao has hardly interfered in the affairs of the mansion, and she doesn't care about Xu Jian.

She missed Xu Jian's growth, and now rashly pointing fingers will only make both of them uncomfortable.

Except for what Xu Jian asked her to help with, she tried not to disturb him.

But "healing injuries" is an exception.

She was so looking forward to A Jian's recovery.

Ah Jian didn't like people entering the study, so Xu Miao was waiting for him outside the hospital: "Are you worried about anything? The doctor's medical skills are not good enough?"

Facing Xu Miao, Xu Jian did not say those scene words.

"It looks like you have some ability," Xu Jian comforted her, "I just suddenly got a chance to heal my injury. You have to be more cautious. I'll take a look. Don't think too much."

"I heard that he wrote you a way to treat your injuries?" Xu Miao asked, "You might as well ask more imperial doctors to brainstorm ideas."

"That's the idea." Xu Jian talked with Xu Miao for a while before she calmed down a bit.

Returning to the study, Xu Jian flipped through the book again.

What he told Xu Miao was the truth.

The way to do it was to ask a familiar imperial doctor to take a look, but he had been delaying it for the past few days, and more importantly, he was waiting for news from Guanzhong.

Also suspicious, Xu Jian questioned the King of Jin, but still had some reservations about "Doctor Yue".

After waiting for another two days, the people who went to Guanzhong to inquire came back.

"Doctor Zhang is not in Guanzhong City. I heard that he left more than half a month ago."

"Doctor Zhang is alone. There are only two apprentices in the pharmacy. The doctor in charge is not here, and he is not conducting medical consultations now. He only gives prescriptions and prescribes medicine."

"I asked the neighbors to recognize the portrait, and they all said 'yes'."

"It is said that he looks at people's orders, and either directly refuses to treat them or treats them no matter how much money they give. But as long as he takes the patients, he treats them well."

"Because he treats patients directly and has a pretty good reputation. After all, it's better not to waste people's money than to lose money and people."

After hearing this, Xu Jian was not surprised.

In his eyes, Doctor Zhang was this kind of person.

the following afternoon.

Eunuch Ye came to the Fuguogong Mansion again.

Xu Jian still had the same attitude and discussed medical theory with Dr. Yue.

Eunuch Ye didn't understand. He drank tea and observed the two of them.

Yesterday, the prince did not say it directly, but he more or less made some inferences.

If the Duke of Fu really has no idea of ​​treatment, then forget about it. Anyway, the specific extent of the injury can be determined now.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps outside.

It was a nun who came.

"My lord," Mammy said hurriedly, "Miss Ping seems to have eaten something bad at noon and is not feeling well."

Xu Jian frowned and turned to look at Dr. Yue: "Can I trouble you to go to the inner courtyard?"

Doctor Yue naturally agreed.

Eunuch Ye also stood up, but was stopped by Xu Jian.

"It's a small matter, don't bother me, father-in-law," Xu Jian said, calling Xu Bai again, "bring me some more tea and snacks for my father-in-law."

Xu Bai stepped forward and asked, "The sun is shining brightly, would you like a bowl of cold drink, father-in-law?"

Eunuch Ye rolled his eyes.

He was not worried about Doctor Yue and Xu Jianjian talking alone, but then he thought about it, what could these two people say?
Duke Fuguo didn't know Dr. Yue's true identity, and Dr. Yue didn't even know that he was here to see a doctor.

Besides, the sun is really bright and hot!

"Then the Za family is more respectful than obedient." Eunuch Ye said with a smile.

Xu Jian handed the head to Xu Bai and led Doctor Yue to the backyard.

The Duke's Mansion is a large place. It goes around east and west and enters a small courtyard.

As soon as he stepped in, Dr. Yue's heart was beating fast.

It was empty, with no maids or wives, and it didn't look like a girl's residence.

"My lord," Dr. Yue's hair stood on end, and his intuition told him that something was wrong, "This is..."

"Doctor Yue," Xu Jian stood in the corridor, looked him up and down, and said, "Or, I should call you 'Doctor Zhang', Doctor Zhang from Guanzhong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Zhang's face turned pale as if it had been painted with a layer of white pulp.

why?
How could his identity be revealed?

"This..." Doctor Zhang was extremely nervous, sweat dripping down, "No, alas, yes, my surname is Zhang, from Guanzhong."

"Doctor Zhang, don't be nervous," Xu Jian said, "Was it your idea to impersonate someone, or was it King Jin's?"

How can Dr. Zhang not be nervous?

This question is too difficult to answer.

Seeing his silence, Xu Jian asked again: "Let me change the question. King Jin asked you to replace Dr. Yue. What does he want you to do?"

Sweat dripped into his eyes, and Doctor Zhang raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously.

"Your Majesty asked me to treat your injury." He paused for a moment, looked up at Xu Jian, and then lowered his head again.

intuition.

That intuition came over again.

The strange feeling he felt from Eunuch Ye surrounded him again, coupled with the prince's attitude and the current problems of the prince...

Xu Jian looked at him for a moment, taking in his every reaction.

"It seems that Dr. Zhang has something to say, but doesn't know how to say it," Xu Jian chuckled, "Eunuch Ye is not here, and Dr. Zhang is very sharp. If you miss the opportunity, it will be hard to come by."

In that chaotic early morning, after he had murderous intentions, Doctor Zhang was able to escape so quickly and completely, which shows that this person is sharp.

And keen people can always detect some inconspicuous things. (End of chapter)
