Chapter 41: Asking for Someone
"Your Highness, these people are all famous doctors in Sui County. I have already investigated them."
The imperial physician beside Xiao Yan spoke at the right time.
Although only these few people were asked to process the medicinal materials and decoct the medicine, their skills could still be seen.
Doctor Wang was shocked.
He had imagined that the nobleman in front of him was of noble status, but he had never thought that he was a member of the royal family.
For people like them, the highest official they can meet is the county magistrate.
Even if you meet the county magistrate, you must be extremely careful and respectful in front of him.
What’s more, he is a member of the royal family.
He was incredibly lucky.
When the family tree is compiled in the future, it can be said that he treated members of the royal family.
Doctor Wang was extremely excited, but at this moment he knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
He didn't even dare to move the jade pendant forward.
"Um."
The nobleman at the head said in a calm tone: "Take it away and prepare it."
Doctor Wang was taken away again, and the nobleman did not notice the jade pendant.
He felt a little disappointed, but not hopeless.
After all, he was kneeling at a lower level, some distance away from the noble, so it was normal that the noble did not see him.

"What happened to the assassins?"
Xiao Yan took the bowl of medicine handed to him by Liu Zhongquan and drank it all in one gulp.
"Return to your highness."
Liu Zhongquan lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Most have been killed, and a few are still being captured..."
Xiao Yan's eyelids drooped and his eyes were cold.
"I'll give you three days. If you can't capture these people, you don't have to stay with me."
Xiao Yan's face was cold and his tone was emotionless.
But Liu Zhongquan lowered his head even lower.
He knew that this was the final deadline given by His Highness.
Your Highness is a wise ruler, but that doesn’t mean he is easy to talk to.
If it is said to be three days, then it will only be three days.
"I will give the order right away."
Liu Zhongquan didn't dare to delay any longer.
Xiao Yan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. Ask Cui Zhe to go to Chongzhou Prefecture and bring the person here."
The assassin disrupted Xiao Yan's itinerary. He was shot in the chest and could not move, so he had to stay in Sui County.
In order to ensure the safety of Meng Mingshu and her daughter, the assassins must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Xiao Yan's eyes darkened and his gaze became deep.
He naturally guessed who wanted to kill him.
Before he returned to Beijing, his cousins in the royal family all had the opportunity to compete for the throne.
After he returned to Beijing, those people's years of hopes were dashed and they naturally wanted to kill him.
He hadn't taken action against these people before simply because he didn't care about the throne.
With his wife and children gone, power and status were just passing clouds to Xiao Yan.
But things are different now.
Meng Mingshu likes to be flattered and likes wealth and glory.
So there is no need to keep those grasshoppers in the capital anymore.
"You also follow Cui Zhe."
Although Liu Zhongquan is too flattering, he is indeed good at serving people and doing things properly.
"I obey your command!"
Liu Zhongquan was delighted.
He knew that His Highness trusted him.
After all, Cui Zhe is His Highness's confidant.
The people from Chongzhou Prefecture are also His Highness’s sweetheart and the little grandson of the emperor.
How can His Highness not value him when he is asked to accompany you on such an important mission?
After Liu Zhongquan left the inner room, feeling that he had become the prince's confidant, he found Doctor Liu again.
"You've asked me many times, and I've said it many times. There won't be any problem."
"Your Highness, the arrow was shot in a dangerous position, but fortunately it wasn't too deep. I'm confident. After all, this also concerns the lives of my family."
"That's good, that's good. How long will it take before we can start?"
Doctor Liu: "Let me take these three people to practice beforehand."
It was an hour later that Doctor Wang saw Xiao Yan again.
After entering the inner room, he didn't dare to think about the jade pendant anymore, not daring to be distracted at all, after all, this was a matter of life and death.
Fortunately, the imperial physician in the palace was truly extraordinary. Half an hour later, the arrow was completely removed.
"Get some cloth! Stop the bleeding!"
Doctor Wang hurried forward.
After another half an hour, the bleeding completely stopped and the cloth no longer oozed blood as quickly as before.
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Wang was finally able to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Doctor Wang couldn't help but admire this noble man. He endured the pain and didn't make a sound during the whole process of pulling out the arrow.
"You guys go down and make the medicine according to this prescription."
Doctor Liu gave orders.
Even if I wanted to stay a little longer, I couldn't do that now.
Doctor Wang sighed inwardly.
I entered the inner room twice. The first time I was too far away, and the second time was at such a dangerous moment.
It’s the time and the fate.
Or perhaps, the woman deceived him, so the noble man did not notice it.
Yes, how could a nobleman’s wife live among the common people?
Fortunately, he didn't lose anything.
"etc……"
"Come forward."
When Doctor Wang and his companions bent over and retreated, Xiao Yan only took a casual glance, but saw a jade pendant that looked extremely familiar.
This was Xiao Yan's own thing, which he had carried with him for decades. There was no way Xiao Yan would make a mistake about it.
Doctor Wang realized that the nobleman was talking to him, and his mind went blank.
He hurried forward.
Xiao Yan grabbed the jade pendant from Doctor Wang's waist and looked at it again and again. He asked anxiously:
"Where did you get this jade pendant?"
When Doctor Wang was questioned by the noble, his heart instantly became tense, and he felt both nervous and excited.
His voice trembled:
"It was given to me by a woman I met in prison. She said it was a gift from her husband..."
"when?"
It seemed to be a normal tone, but Doctor Wang's heart was shaking.
He knelt on the ground and crawled even lower.
"Yes...it was the day before yesterday. In prison, she knew that I would be treating you, so she temporarily gave the jade pendant to me..."
————
"Get out..."
Meng Mingshu was pushed into the pool again, this time with Tuan'er.
She admitted she was scared.
She doesn't care about her own life, but she cannot help but care about Tuan'er's life.
Meng Mingshu hugged Tuan'er desperately and lifted her up with all her strength.
The water I choked on was even more serious than before.
"Zhi Wan, do you think this is a drowned dog?
"I didn't expect that she seemed to care about her bastard so much."
The laughter of Xie Zhiwan and others could be heard continuously from the shore, and anyone could hear their pride and joy.
Meng Mingshu gritted her teeth and memorized the faces of these people in her heart.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, Xie Zhiwan finally got tired of playing.
"Pick them up."
Xie Zhiwan walked up to Meng Mingshu and looked down at her: "How does it taste?"
Meng Mingshu didn't say anything, but just hugged Tuan'er tightly.
Xie Zhiwan didn't want to hear Meng Mingshu's answer.
She looked at the ladies beside her with a smile:
"Today's fun ends here. I'll invite you all over again when I come up with a new way to play."
"Then we'll just wait."
After these people left, Xie Yuan came.
"Brother, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Xie Yuan's expression was cold: "I came to ask you for someone."
"Who is it?"
Xie Yuan's gaze fell on Meng Mingshu.
