Chapter 88 The Prescription Is Useless

Doctor Ma happened to be in the palace.

Teng Wenfu was a close minister of the emperor, so he came whenever Doctor Ma summoned him.

"Doctor Ma, please take a look at this prescription to see if it can help the emperor's condition."

Almost everyone knows that the emperor is in poor health.

However, the emperor's pulse diagnosis is top secret in the Imperial Medical Bureau and cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

However, even so, the emperor had not summoned any other imperial physician except Imperial Physician Ma for a long time.

Teng Wenfu understood the emperor's intention.

Since it's no use anymore, don't disclose your condition anymore.

The Imperial Medical Bureau has been almost infiltrated by the princes like a sieve.

Doctor Ma is someone the emperor trusts.

He looked at the prescription for a long time.

"How is it?" A little hope rose in Teng Wenfu's heart.

"I am not very knowledgeable and can't understand it. It's simply... incomprehensible." Doctor Ma said.

He tried to find something normal about it, but he couldn't.

The little hope in Teng Wenfu's heart suddenly disappeared.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Yes, the Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless against the Emperor’s heart disease. How could a common doctor, who was so sloppy and casual, be a good doctor?

Forget it.

Teng Wenfu personally sent Doctor Ma out.

Perhaps because he was tired from leaving the palace today, his knees began to ache again.

Teng Wenfu asked someone to bring him hot water for a hot compress.

While waiting, he subconsciously moved according to the method taught by Doctor Hu.

It doesn’t feel so bad anymore?

Finally, Teng Wenfu came to the conclusion that Dr. Hu was okay, but he did not have the ability to turn decay into magic, and was not worthy of the title of miracle doctor.

At the same time, after a busy day, Lu Qiniang packed up the things she would need for setting up her stall tomorrow, washed up simply, and finally lay down.

Finally, I have time to talk to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, is your grandpa's family well-off?"

Lu Qiniang found it shocking just thinking about it.

The medicine cost three taels of silver a day, and he took it without any hesitation.

"Yeah." Xiao Yan said.

"Does he have many children?"

"yes."

"No wonder. I think he's kind and compassionate, and his family is well-off, so he shouldn't ignore you. But with so many children at home, I guess he can't take care of you. And you're about to commit a crime, so I don't dare to save you."

She finally realized that the criminals were not beggars, but important prisoners.

That requires considerable qualifications.

For example, even if she committed murder and arson, she would only be a prisoner.

Only someone like Xiao Yan can be considered a serious criminal.

Poor people just need to beg for food, there is no need to commit this crime.

"Maybe." Xiao Yan said.

He remembered what Daya asked him after the emperor left.

Daya said, "Why did he come to see you again? Did he regret selling you out?"

"How did you guess that?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

"Your stepmother is a princess. No one dares to call themselves your grandfather."

Unless, it’s the real grandpa.

Xiao Yan: Okay, okay.

As the saying goes, "One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people." The whole family's attention was occupied by Daya alone.

"It's not necessarily a regret. Because he never intended to destroy me from the beginning."

The emperor showed mercy to him.

Originally, Xiao Yan couldn't understand the reason.

But today, when Doctor Hu said that the emperor would not live long, Xiao Yan suddenly understood.

The emperor's favorite is the crown prince, although many people say that the emperor is strict and dissatisfied with the crown prince.

However, Xiao Yan only believes that whoever is given the position will receive love and expectations.

The prince's biggest problem is that he is too young.

If he guessed correctly, the emperor was taking advantage of the situation - of course, he did make a big mistake, but he left room for maneuver. His purpose should be to let the prince pardon him.

From now on, he would be the prince's man.

Perhaps because he is a father now, Xiao Yan can understand more things than before.

He thought that the day when he would be reinstated should not be far away.

Oh, that's not right.

It used to be.

Now that he has received the medicine from Doctor Hu, the emperor should still have time to endure.

He probably has to endure it longer.

This is such a mistake——

Destiny is something that is truly beyond our control.

Now Xiao Yan has absolute confidence in Dr. Hu's medical skills.

But he is also very satisfied with his current situation.

Give him a few more years to develop a relationship with Lu Qinniang, find suitable husbands for Daya and Erya, and raise Sanya.

Days like this are also full of expectations.

Xiao Yan did not hide anything from Daya and told her all his guesses.

He felt that Daya could understand.

And Daya just said, "As long as our family is well."

Xiao Yan began to think in his mind, among the people he knew, who were of the same age as Daya, unmarried, had a good family background, and were promising themselves?

After thinking about it, it seems that there is really nothing suitable.

Not to mention Lu Qin's mother was worried, he himself started to worry.

I am worried that my daughter is too outstanding and feels that all the men of marriageable age around her are ugly.

"But no matter what, he came to see you, you have to appreciate it." Lu Qinniang's words interrupted Xiao Yan's reverie.

"I appreciate it." Xiao Yan said.

I appreciate it.

The emperor treated him very well.

"I originally thought that I would visit them more often in the future. But now I think about it, they are a wealthy family, and if we go to their house, it will be like asking for money." Lu Qinniang was worried, "If we don't go, it will feel like we are being impolite."

The old man has already come to visit, and as a younger generation, I should go and see him.

In particular, Xiao Yan's grandfather is not in good health.

"Don't worry about it, we don't have to go."

The main thing is that I can’t get through the door.

Xiao Yan didn't want to hide it from Lu Qiniang, but he also didn't want to add to her psychological burden.

Daya knew everything clearly, which alleviated his guilt for hiding the truth from Lu Qinniang.

"Okay, you know better than me." Lu Qiniang said, "But tell me what you want to give as a gift. We are well off now, so the more gifts, the better."

She was a wealthy woman who could earn one or two taels of silver a day.

With more than three hundred taels a year, she is very rich.

If you save up for five years, you can buy a decent three-story house in a good location in Beijing.

Oh, no, the eldest and second daughters in the middle are getting married, so I have to give them dowry.

Forget it, why did she buy such a big house?

I'll buy a small one, two-bedroom one, which will cost me about five or six hundred taels. I'll give the remaining money to Da Ya and Er Ya, each worth 500 taels, as a deposit, so that they can have confidence in their lives.

That's five hundred taels. Even if we get divorced in the future, I won't starve to death on my own.

Bah, bah, bah, she has such a bad mouth.

Then she can earn some money to give to San Ya as a dowry, and then she can save money for her retirement, and this life will pass quickly.

You spend some money on social interactions, but it’s all done through barter, so the final cost isn’t that much.

Lu Qiniang and Xiao Yan talked about their plans, their words full of enthusiastic anticipation for their future life.

What she didn't expect was that after just a few days of smooth sailing, another blow came.

Her purse was no longer able to hold on.
