The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 29 Follow till death
Su Peisheng carried the medicine and followed Wen Xianqing into the house.

Wen Xianqing knelt down and saluted Yinzhen.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty, may His Majesty be well and safe."

"Get up. I am still healthy thanks to Doctor Wen. Doctor Wen, you don't have to be so polite."

Yinzhen returned gently.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Xianqing stood up, took the medicine bowl from Su Peisheng, and planned to serve the medicine to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng, who suddenly felt blessed and bowed before leaving.

Wen Xianqing didn't look surprised at all, and said as he fed Yinzhen the medicine.

"I think the prince has something to ask me in private. Please wait until the prince finishes drinking the medicine."

Yinzhen didn't say anything, but just looked at Wen Xianqing inquiringly.

"I already know that Doctor Wen gave me acupuncture and prescribed medicine. But Doctor Wen's coming was strange and coincidental. I have to ask who Doctor Wen is."

When Wen Xianqing heard Yinzhen ask this, he stood up and put down the medicine bowl.

He bowed.

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I am Wen Xianqing, a free-spirited person who often likes to travel. But last year, my family suffered a sudden accident, and my parents, wife, and children almost didn't survive. My son, Wen Shichu, is only six years old."

Speaking of this, Wen Xianqing recalled those days when he could get no help from heaven or earth. His eyes became moist and his nasal tone became noticeably heavier.

He calmed himself down and continued.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. My family almost died, and I was emotional at the time."

Yinzhen looked at him quietly and said softly, "It's okay."

"Under the circumstances at the time, it was Young Master Nian who came to the rescue and saved my family's lives. A few days ago, the prince came back injured, and Young Master Nian found me and asked me to come and see the prince. He said that Miss Nian was the prince's concubine, and if the prince was ill, then the concubine was ill."

"Since it was Young Master Nian who asked you to come to the palace, why did you tell Mrs. Fujin that you came because she was looking for a good doctor?"

Yinzhen asked.

"Reporting to the prince. Young Master Nian saved my family. Let alone asking me to treat you, even if Young Master Nian ordered me, I would be happy to do it. But Young Master Nian is humble and never asks for repayment. He said that he believed in my medical skills, but he couldn't let Mrs. Fu know that I was sent by the Nian family."

After Wen Xianqing finished speaking, he bowed and that was all he had to say.

Yinzhen looked at Wen Xianqing for a long time and saw only frankness on his face.

"Su Peisheng, reheat the medicine." Su Peisheng had been waiting outside. After hearing Yinzhen's order, he immediately came in, took out the medicine bowl, and reheated the medicine.

"I understand. Nian Xiyao is afraid that I will die and delay his sister's death."

Yinzhen smiled seemingly helplessly.

Wen Xianqing also laughed: "Your Highness, you are joking. In my opinion, you are in good health. I have completely detoxified you and applied my family's knife wound medicine to your wound. You can rest assured and you will recover soon."

"Okay, stop being a commoner. It makes me sad. Those imperial doctors couldn't even cure the poison. Fortunately, you saved me. Now I ask you solemnly, are you willing to stay by my side and take care of my health and the health of the palace?"

Yinzhen no longer called himself "the king" when talking to Wen Xianqing, he asked solemnly.

Wen Xianqing was stunned. How could a common doctor like him stay with the son of the current emperor?

Seeing that Wen Xianqing didn't say anything, Yinzhen spoke again.

"I will not let you stay in the palace as a palace doctor. When I get better, I will ask the emperor to commend you and invite you to take up the post in the Imperial Hospital."

After a pause, Yinzhen smiled.

"But, you will have to face those old antiques again. Are you willing?"

Wen Xianqing knelt down and returned solemnly.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. Wen Xianqing is willing to follow Your Highness until death."

At that moment when he was stunned, he realized that he had been too free and easy in the first half of his life.

But common people are common people, they cannot just live freely for themselves.

After experiencing the misfortune at home, he had to take responsibility for his parents, his wife and his children.

He is the eldest son in the family. Not only are his brothers not ambitious, they also get into trouble every now and then.

If it weren’t for Young Master Nian’s rescue last time, I’m afraid their family would have been thrown into a mass grave by now.

The opportunity to rise to the top is right in front of you, so grab it.

Yinzhen nodded: "I hope you will always remember what you said today."

Wen Xianqing kowtowed and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
