Chapter 3859 128. The best doctor heals the country (the old prime minister sets up defenses against Mei Luo)

"So that's what happened?"

Mei Luo looked at the silver needles floating in the air, and then obediently entered Yuhua's sleeves. Mei Luo couldn't bear it anymore and asked with a wry smile.

Yuhua slowly turned around, his eyes flashing with some surprise, as if his eyes could speak, and asked Zhi Meiluo, "Why are you here?"

It's not surprising that Yuhua would have such doubts. After all, Yuhua left such a big mess for Meiluo, how could the other party get away with it?

Both of them have doubts about each other, and now is the time to solve the mystery for each other.

Just as Yuhua opened his mouth to explain something, the old prime minister lying on the sickbed had slowly woken up. He looked at Yuhua, glanced at Mei Luo with alert eyes, and then asked tentatively.

"Doctor Mei, is this another important matter?"

When Mei Luo saw how wary the old prime minister was of him, his intuition told him that this old fox was probably not as simple as he thought.

"Well... I was worried about the old prime minister's health, so I put aside my work over there and came over to take a look."

"Ah... hehe~ It's my poor health that has caused you imperial doctors to worry."

As he spoke, the old prime minister's eyes unconsciously glanced towards Yuhua, as if he was intentionally asking for Yuhua's opinion.

Seeing this, Yuhua simply spoke directly and explained the situation: "I sealed the old prime minister's meridians. In order to escape from that environment as soon as possible, I had no other choice."

"Hehe~ So, the old prime minister woke up after taking the pill, right?"

"Well...I woke up."

"That's great, at least it proves that my medical skills are not bad! You scared me to death! I thought there was something wrong with the pills I brewed! Maybe the medicine was too strong and the old prime minister got hurt after taking it, so he rushed over here!"

Mei Luo is such a smart person. He immediately grasped the subtle relationship between Yuhua and the old prime minister. He also knew that when the old prime minister woke up, something must have happened between the two of them. Otherwise, the old prime minister would not have cooperated with Yuhua to escape from Ye Mansion.

Mei Luo was also very clear that there were some things that could be said between two people but not between three. This was an unspoken rule in officialdom. Even for some very obvious things, when said by two people, they would have different contexts, different positions, and different perspectives on things. Everyone would be calculating their own interests and gains and losses in this situation.

If a third person came in, it would become a situation of three-way checks and balances, so Mei Luo tried to suppress the matter so that he could open his heart to Yuhua in private.

"So that's how it is... I was wondering... how come I saw Doctor Mei here when I woke up..."

The old prime minister did not know the depth of the relationship between Mei Luo and Yuhua. There is an unspoken rule in the officialdom, that is, interpersonal relationships are changeable, and all interpersonal relationships will change together when the situation changes.

Relationships are inherently fluid. No one can predict how a person you seem to have a close relationship with may become a hateful person in the future.

In the Quan family, trust no longer exists. Only by grasping the immediate interests and understanding the key to the main contradiction can everything become normal. Therefore, the old prime minister is a person who will not easily open his heart to others. Even the people around him can't see through his mind. After all, there are many examples of being betrayed by his own confidants in the officialdom. Raising confidants often requires the sacrifice of handing oneself over. You don't know when you will be stabbed in the back or framed.

It is often because the people around you know you too well, so they will give you a fatal blow at the critical moment, leaving you no chance to even breathe.

Therefore, the reason why the old prime minister was able to survive so long and climb so high in officialdom was because he was cautious and extremely sensitive, and had long since developed a deep understanding of human nature.

Instead of putting your life in the hands of others, it is safer to hold it in your own hands. Don't rely too much on others in everything, but rely more on yourself.

And now, with the situation and interpersonal relationships unclear, the old prime minister will never say a word that would expose himself. Even if it is just silence with a smile, he will not say a single useless word.

Mei Luo was naturally well versed in the ways of officialdom, and seeing that the old prime minister was very reserved in his words to her, she did not want to say a word more to make the other party alert, so she just smiled and became awkward.

Seeing that the situation has come to a standstill, even someone without much foresight would understand what will happen next.

"Old Prime Minister, you are fine now. I will prescribe some warm tonic medicine for you tonight. You just need to recuperate for a while."

"Well... I feel refreshed now. Thank you Doctor Yu for your kindness."

As he said this, the old prime minister actually stood up and bowed to Yuhua, showing his true admiration and gratitude for the other party.

Seeing this, Mei Luo was surprised in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he chose to watch with a smile.

Yuhua bowed respectfully and returned the greeting: "You are too polite, old Prime Minister. As a doctor, it is my duty to cure diseases and relieve heart ailments. Why do you have to do this, old Prime Minister?"

"If you're talking about heart disease, Doctor Yu, you know that some heart diseases require the test of time. If a person makes a promise, he must fulfill it to the end!"

The old prime minister slowly raised his head, and his words began with a mixture of praise and criticism. He first spoke words of praise for the other party, and then gave a seemingly light reminder, but in fact, this was the main point of his topic.

The old prime minister was reminding Yuhua in a secret code that he had handed all his life and property over to the other party, and if you, Yuhua, could not protect the things he wanted to protect, I, the old prime minister, would not let you off easily.

Yuhua naturally understood the other party's intention behind his words, so he responded respectfully: "Old Prime Minister, don't worry, I have already diagnosed your heart disease. As for the people or things you can't let go of, I will definitely make proper arrangements."

Since the other party was playing charades with him, Yuhua would also respond in a charades to prevent the other party from having any other ideas.

After hearing this, the old prime minister said nothing more. He raised his hand, bowed, and turned to leave.

After watching the old prime minister leave, Mei Luo's breath, which had been raised in his throat, suddenly relaxed.

He could feel the game of conversation between the two, and he could also feel the majesty of the pressure exerted by the old prime minister. As a bystander, he could not say much, but he was also afraid that Yuhua would say something wrong and offend the old prime minister, and then he would really be unable to save the other party.

He could only stand aside silently, feeling anxious and worried for Yuhua...
