Chapter 34 You Don’t Have to Sacrifice for Me
He was quite curious about Qi Muchao's wife. After two glasses of wine, he muttered, "You don't have to sacrifice yourself for me like this."
He thought Qi Muchao married Lu Wanning in order to win over the Chen family for him.
Qi Muchao paused his movements, speechless, but did not explain.
But in Qi Liuchuan's view, this move was obviously a tacit approval.
"Father's body is getting weaker and weaker. Elder Liu prescribed medicine for him, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. I heard that the disciple of Dr. Luo is in charge of Huichun Hall. I want to ask about Dr. Luo's whereabouts. I'm afraid that Dr. Luo is the only one who can save Father now."
Qi Muchao raised his eyes and asked, "What did Elder Liu say about His Majesty's condition?"
Speaking of this, the Crown Prince's face suddenly darkened. "He said Father was poisoned, but I don't believe it. This is simply ridiculous. Not to mention that Father's food needs to be strictly inspected and tested by palace servants before it is consumed. How could someone take advantage of such a loophole?"
Rather than saying it was poisoning, he would rather believe that it was because Mr. Liu’s medical skills were not good enough.
If not, how come I couldn't help Qi Muchao recover his health over the years?
He continued, "I heard that Dr. Luo is very good at making poisons. If he can make poisons, he can naturally detoxify them. Is my father sick or poisoned? I'm afraid we can only find out by finding Dr. Luo."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qi Muchao, but found that he didn't seem to be listening to him, but frowned, wondering what he was thinking.
The prince raised his hand and waved it in front of him, "Did you hear what I said?"
Qi Muchao came back to his senses, "I heard it."
"I'm going to Yanzhou tomorrow to secretly investigate the murder of the Yanzhou governor. I'll leave the task of finding Dr. Luo to you. Since Dr. Luo's disciple is in Huichun Hall, I think finding Dr. Luo won't be difficult."
With his lips slightly pursed, thinking of what happened in Yanzhou, Qi Muzhao responded with drooping eyelids and said "OK".
Qi Muchao had not returned yet, so Lu Wanning stayed in the house for a while and then left.
Hongling and Luoluo are now working as maids in the yard to sweep the floor. Although they are unwilling, they dare not say much.
She only took the servant named Hu Yan, whom Qi Muchao had assigned to her, with her when she left the house.
The master and servant arrived at Huichun Hall, and the shopkeeper welcomed her in, explaining the identity of the person who came to her for medical treatment as they walked.
"This time, the patient who sought medical treatment paid a large sum of money. The master said that he would not accept a single cent of the payment for this consultation, and would give it all to Doctor Lu."
This surprised Lu Wanning a little. Could it be that the stingy man had finally come to his senses and was willing to give her all the remuneration?
The shopkeeper snorted coldly, his tone completely different from before, "To be honest, Doctor Lu, the one seeking medical treatment this time is the Sang family. Doctor Lu, you should know the Sang family. They are well-known wealthy merchants in our capital."
"Not only is he generous, but he also knows a lot of people. After helping the Sang family with their medical treatment this time, I'm sure our Huichuntang's reputation will instantly surpass Yunque Hall. The boss naturally doesn't care about this little reward."
Skylark Hall and Huichun Hall can be considered as sworn enemies in the medical clinic.
Originally, the reputations of the two clinics were not much different. However, ever since Old Liu started seeing patients at Yunque Clinic, Yunque Clinic's reputation suddenly surpassed Huichun Hall, causing Huichun Hall's consultation fees to drop again and again in the past two years.
That's why the boss of Huichuntang tried to invite Lu Wanning to take charge.
However, it can be said that the owner of Huichuntang is very foresighted. Since Lu Wanning took over Huichuntang under the name of Dr. Luo Shen's apprentice, the number of people coming to Huichuntang for medical treatment has increased several times in just two months.
But the Sang family asked her to see a doctor?
Lu Wanning seemed to be lost in thought. "Didn't something happen to the Sang family? Who wants to see a doctor?"
When talking about the incident of the Sang family, the shopkeeper also sighed. He usually admired Mr. Sang's character and was naturally sad about his death, but the world changed and the family declined, there was nothing he could do about it.
He sighed, "It was Wei Xun, the son-in-law of the Sang family, who invited you over."
"What are the symptoms?"
The shopkeeper hesitated. "That's not what he said, but I heard that the Sang family's daughter stabbed him twice some time ago, and the wounds haven't healed yet."
"Sang Mingyue?"
"That's right," the shopkeeper nodded. "Does Doctor Lu know him?"
Lu Wanning raised an eyebrow, a little curious. "As far as I know, it's been a few days since Sang Mingyue stabbed him. How come the wound hasn't healed yet?"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but show disdain on his face, "To be honest, no doctor in the capital is willing to treat Wei Xun's injuries. Master Sang is a kind man, and many people have received his kindness. Wei Xun doesn't dare to send anyone casually. Look, this person is acquainted with our boss, so we invited him to come here."
Lu Wanning said "Oh" and understood.
The clinics nearby are afraid of being scolded, but their boss is not.
The shopkeeper asked, "Are you going?"
"Go, why not?" Lu Wanning turned around and looked at Hu Yan, "There's no time to lose, just follow me and go there now."
Hu Yan is a serious person, like a puppet, but she obeys Lu Wanning's orders.
Lu Wanning even suspected that if she asked her to cut her own neck with a sword, she would do it immediately without hesitation.
The master and servant went to the Sang Mansion. In order to facilitate their actions, Lu Wanning still wore a veil and covered Hu Yan with a veil.
When they arrived at the Sang residence, upon hearing that it was Doctor Lu from Huichun Hall, the doorman immediately ushered them in, "Doctor, please come in quickly. I'll go and inform our young master right away."
Lu Wanning sat in the front hall and drank a sip of tea. Before she could even sit down, the servants came over and invited the two of them to Wei Xun's residence.
It can be said that the Sang family is worthy of being the richest family in Beijing.
Every plant and tree in the yard looked unusual.
Despite the hot weather, the yard is full of flowers. Regardless of whether they are in season or not, they are all in full bloom.
But in stark contrast to the scene of flowers in full bloom in the Sang Mansion, there is now silence in the Sang Mansion.
There seemed to be very few servants in the huge Sang Mansion. Along the way, apart from the doorman, I didn't see even a servant who was cleaning the house.
When she was almost at Wei Xun's residence, she stopped and looked at the green plant with dense, tooth-like leaves, wondering, "What kind of tree is this?"
The doorman said, "This is what our master brought back from southern Xinjiang when he went there. I heard that we don't have this kind of plant in Ming Dynasty."
Lu Wanning looked at the plant twice more, nodded, and followed him in.
Standing in Wei Xun's room was a guard with a cold face and a long sword in his hand, who seemed to be there to protect his safety.
After walking a few steps forward, Lu Wanning saw Wei Xun's current condition.
Unlike the glamorous appearance in his previous life, Wei Xun was in a very miserable state at this moment, only slightly better off than He Maoshan, whom she had rescued a few days ago.
Sang Mingyue stabbed him twice, both times in the abdomen.
This guy is lucky, as neither of the two stab wounds was fatal.
