I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 478 It turns out to be intestinal obstruction

It must have been more than an hour since the two of them separated. A strange look flashed in Luo Qianhuai's eyes: "Your young master has been waiting here all this time?"

"Yes." Wei Ying answered respectfully, took the medicine box from Xing Xuan attentively, and sent Luo Qianhuai to the carriage.

The interior of the car is quite spacious, and the facilities and appliances are elegant and exquisite, forming a sharp contrast with the simple and low-key exterior.

In front of Master Mo stood a purple copper charcoal stove, on top of which sat a sky-blue ceramic pot, with tea bubbling in it.

He held a small purple bamboo clip and took out two dried green plum blossoms from the jade pot, and threw them into the pot very gracefully. The fragrance of tea accompanied by the cool fragrance of plum blossoms immediately filled the car.

Luo Qianhuai sat down beside him, took the cup handed to him by Master Mo, blew it slowly, and was not in a hurry to drink it.

"The person has been picked up, why doesn't he leave?" she asked.

Master Mo smiled. It was like the ice and snow melting, the clouds clearing and the rain stopping, which was very pleasing to the eyes.

Luo Qianhuai's gaze froze on his face and he couldn't move away.

She knew that this was wrong, but she couldn't control her natural love of beauty.

Fortunately, in less than twenty days, this person will become my legal spouse, so even if I look at him a few more times, it won't be against moral standards.

Thinking of this, her eyes became more open and unrestrained, with a little pride, which made Mr. Mo's smile deepen even more.

"No hurry." His voice was soft and pleasant, like the ice crystal bells hanging on the eaves, ringing softly in the warm wind: "Yinyin, don't you want to know what happened to Zhao Fu later?"

"It's nothing but a dead end." Luo Qianhuai guessed, "You and Mr. Wen did not avoid him when dealing with him. I think there is only one reason: there is no need to keep secrets from the dead."

Mr. Mo shook his head.

"In Yinyin's heart, I only left the impression of a murderer." He sighed and looked at Luo Qianhuai pitifully: "Yinyin misunderstood me."

The phoenix eyes that were deep and unfathomable just now suddenly changed their appearance, and a handsome face continued to enlarge in front of her, which made Luo Qianhuai unable to accept.

She suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. Fortunately, the tea in her hand was no longer as hot as before, so Luo Qianhuai drank it all in one gulp, put the cup back on the table fixed in the car, and kept retreating backwards.

"Since he wasn't killed, then let's talk about it. What happened to Zhao Fu?" she asked, trying to free herself.

Mr. Mo's lips finally landed on her forehead and stayed there for a long time before she reluctantly pushed them away.

"He's a smart man." He straightened up and sat upright, not showing the frivolous look he had just shown. "He's also a good father and a good husband."

Luo Qianhuai thought of the conversation he had heard before, between Zhao Fu and the Hu man Altai, and an idea flashed in his mind: "So now, he has abandoned the dark and joined the light?"

Master Mo took a sip of the tea in the cup and showed a comfortable look.

"He is just a chess piece. The Xiongnu Wuchanmu Chanyu was newly appointed and was eager to win a big victory to consolidate his position, so he activated this chess piece that had been arranged for many years. But he didn't expect that the chess piece had been out for a long time and had already had its own ideas. Even if you and I didn't expose this matter today, Zhao Fu might not honestly follow Wuchanmu's orders." After hearing this, Luo Qianhuai roughly understood Master Mo's thoughts: "He has ulterior motives towards the Xiongnu people who pushed him to the top, and you can't completely trust him."

Mr. Mo laughed again: "The one who understands me is Yin Yin."

Without waiting for Luo Qianhuai to ask more, he explained himself: "Anyway, he is just a chess piece. Anyone can use him. It's nothing more than mutual use. And I promised to protect his family and keep his life secret. He doesn't dare to betray me for the time being."

Luo Qianhuai nodded. Zhao Fuben was half Dayu blood, had been influenced by Han culture for many years, and had married and had children. It would be strange if he was willing to return to the uncivilized grassland to live.

Of course, Master Mo helps him protect his family (as hostages) and keep secrets (holding the evidence), which can indeed guarantee his loyalty to a certain extent.

Luo Qianhuai and Mr. Mo smiled at each other, neither of them having any intention of discussing this topic any further.

The carriage still did not move, but many carriages and horses arrived in front of the prime minister's residence one after another.

Through the lifted corner of the curtain, Luo Qianhuai saw Shao Zong from Shouhe Hall and Miao Laolangzhong from Wanying Hall. They got off the carriage in a hurry and were welcomed in.

But a moment later, Xue Wen also arrived.

He turned his head calmly, nodded slightly in the direction of Mr. Mo's carriage, then strode into the mansion with the medicine box.

It's just a nice spring banquet. If nothing goes wrong, who would ask doctors to come over one after another?
Luo Qianhuai thought of the maid who rushed into the water pavilion in panic before he left. Could it be that she rushed in at that time just to report that someone was seriously ill?

Suddenly, Luo Qianhuai realized why Master Mo still stayed here after picking him up, and why Xue Wen was so sure that Master Mo was in the carriage and nodded in greeting.

He had known for a long time that there was a patient in the mansion, and it was a very important one!
Luo Qianhuai suddenly turned his head and looked at Master Mo with burning eyes. The latter smiled slightly and said directly: "It's Madam Xin. It is said that she suffers from Guan Ge disease and is incurable."

Luo Qianhuai understood. The syndrome of Guan Ge mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is divided into two types: Wai Guan is constipation, which is what Western medicine in the past called intestinal obstruction; Nei Guan is constipation, which is called acute and chronic renal failure in Western medicine.

At the flower viewing banquet today, countless people vied to praise Madam Xin, so she also learned a lot of information about her: she was only ten years old, the same age as the young emperor; she had always been in good health and had never been known to have any chronic illness; she was very interested in food and often cooked herself to make some novel snacks to honor her elders.
Whether it was her age or her physical condition, including her attitude towards food, it was not likely that Mrs. Xin had kidney failure. In contrast, intestinal obstruction was much more likely.

Of course, whether it is intestinal obstruction or renal failure, they are incurable terminal illnesses in this era, but this may not be the case for Luo Qianhuai.

Without giving it time to think, she stood up, grabbed the medicine box, and was about to get out of the car, but was pulled back by Master Mo.

"Yinyin." He sighed, "I know everything that happened today. Huo Xiu set a trap to kill you, and after failing, she wanted to make you look bad in public. I will repay her for what she did in the future. But the sick person in front of you is Huo Xiu's daughter, and the source of her arrogance - are you sure you still want to save her?"

"Yes." Luo Qianhuai said without hesitation: "I am 60% sure that I can cure her."

She was not a saint, but just a conscientious doctor. Knowing that the patient's illness was something she was the only one who could cure, and that the patient was only a ten-year-old child, she would not sit idly by.

Mr. Mo's expression did not fluctuate, as if he had already guessed that she would make this choice.

"Yinyin, please sit down first." He said in a gentle voice: "Even if you want to save people, you can't be so straightforward. Think about Huo Xiu's attitude towards you. I'm afraid she may not allow you to diagnose and treat her. There is no doctor in the world who actively comes to ask for help. If you really can treat, then listen to my arrangements, okay?"

What he said was true, but Luo Qianhuai always felt that something was not right.
