[Here it is... um... it really is an imposter!]

This person's original surname wasn't Tian, ​​but Zhao, and he was called Physician Zhao... Hmm... You can tell how much his family wanted to produce a physician...

[Previously, Tian Xiliang's family was murdered by bandits. Those bandits even took their medical books down the mountain to sell them, thinking they could get a good price. However, no one wanted to buy them, and the bandits had to brandish knives to force them to accept them. The one who accepted the bandits' medical books was Zhao Taiyi's grandfather.]

The emperor and Shen Congliang were both stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is."

However, it's not over yet. The message continues:

However, Dr. Zhao's grandfather didn't refuse the books because they were old and worn; he recognized their value at a glance. But his grandfather had a flaw, a common trait among all businessmen—he wouldn't pass up a chance to make money, and he wanted to make the maximum profit possible!

However, the other party was a bandit. He was afraid of being sent to hell for haggling with bandits, so he simply pretended to be reluctant to accept the money. After the bandit brandished his knife, he quoted the lowest possible price. Haha! This is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth! How cool!

Chuanwen was so impressed he wanted to applaud the man, but the Emperor and Shen Congliang had mixed feelings about the middle-aged man. To be able to impersonate a descendant of the Medical Sage, it was clear that his ancestors were not exactly respectable people either.

After all, what decent person would make a deal with bandits!

[After that, Grandpa Zhao, the Imperial Physician, abandoned his business to pursue medicine, even changing his surname. However, this family was too ambitious for fame and fortune; although they gained some small reputation by studying medical books, they didn't achieve anything greater. Later, Imperial Physician Zhao—well, you could also say Imperial Physician Tian—had a son named Tian Shengyi, uh... okay.]

[Tian Shengyi did possess a greater talent for medicine than his ancestors, and coupled with his extensive study of medical books from a young age, he quickly established his reputation as a descendant of the Medical Sage by his teens. However, without the guidance of a master physician, his further study of medical texts had its limits. Although his medical skills surpassed those of most renowned doctors, he was still far inferior to Tian Wanyin, who had received oral instruction and hands-on training from her mother.]

Only then did the emperor and his entourage understand the origin of the Tian family's medical clinic, and a smile appeared on their lips.

The middle-aged man felt uncomfortable being stared at, as if his identity had been exposed, even though no one spoke; the lobby was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her: [Tian Wanyin had mentioned that her medical books were incomplete. If her ancestors' medical books were all there, she might still have a way to save Er Gou. Now, she's found the remaining medical books!]

Chuanwen then looked at the middle-aged man called Physician Tian, ​​his eyes gleaming. "How can I get those medical books? He definitely won't give them to me if I ask!"

The emperor couldn't help but shudder; those words sounded so familiar!

Suddenly, he remembered Chuanwen's scheme to steal the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from Zhang Chengjue's house, and a chill ran down his spine. Could this girl be planning to poison him again and then suggest to Physician Tian that he could save him by contributing the medical books they had swindled from him?

Imagine that situation; Physician Tian might actually bring out all his medical books just to curry favor with him.

The rumor is true: [Did he poison the emperor and then offer advice?]

Emperor: Cough!

Although Shen Congliang maintained a good expression, he was on high alert, fearing that Chuanwen might do something to the emperor.

While everyone in the hall was lost in their own thoughts, Tian Wanyin also put away her needles, felt Qi Feng's pulse, which was weak but clearly much more stable, breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and walked over.

"His condition has stabilized, but it's not advisable to move him yet; he'll probably have to spend the night here."

Tian Wanyin said to everyone, but was rejected by Imperial Physician Tian, ​​who said, "What if something happens to him tonight!"

He didn't believe the man's condition had stabilized; he was sure the woman wanted him to die here so she could shirk responsibility.

"Besides, how can you say it's stabilized just like that?"

Tian Wanyin carefully examined the person and felt that it was impossible for such a heartless and unethical person to exist in their Tian family. Besides, she was the only one left in their Tian family, so how could there be any other successors of the medical sages!

"If you don't believe me, you can go and feel his pulse."

Tian Wanyin stared at Physician Tian and asked again, "Did you administer the acupuncture to him before?"

It seems that this person not only impersonated a descendant of the Tian family, but also had very poor medical skills.

"He pricked himself with the silver needles; it has nothing to do with me!"

Physician Tian quickly denied everything and shifted the blame, but Tian Wanyin didn't believe him. "He's not a doctor and doesn't know anything about medicine. Even if he took silver needles and stuck them in his head, how would he know to needle the Baihui acupoint?"

Physician Tian's explanation might fool those who don't know medicine, but it would expose him if he encountered an expert. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes. "Perhaps it was just a coincidence!"

"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Tian Wanyin had no good feelings towards people who used their family's name to swindle and deceive, and they almost caused someone's death. Therefore, she disliked and even hated them even more, and asked with a cold laugh.

After a brief moment of panic, Physician Tian was no longer afraid. Since the man was still unconscious and he couldn't confront him directly, he sneered, "Miss, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

The passersby who came to testify for Physician Tian also began to offer their opinions, believing that Physician Tian, ​​as a descendant of the Medical Sage, could not possibly lie.

Upon hearing this, Physician Tian straightened up, a smile playing on his lips.

Tian Wanyin frowned as she listened, glancing at the smug middle-aged man, wondering who he was and why Qi Feng had become like this.
