The group of people had no idea that the point of their complaints had actually gone seriously astray. Following Fang Huaiying's instructions, they did not reveal Yu Zizhen's true identity to others.
Although Uncle Shun had doubts about Yu Zizhen's "good medical skills" at such a young age, when he thought about how reliable Fang Huaiying and the people around him had always been, Uncle Shun still had some expectations and confidence in Yu Zizhen.
"Zizhen!" Fang Huaiying was very embarrassed for having forgotten Yu Zizhen. He remembered his friend while chatting with his father. After telling Duke Weiguo, he hurried out with red eyes to invite Yu Zizhen.
Duke Weiguo never dreamed that the man with good medical skills mentioned in his son's letter was actually the Prince of Zhenbei. Moreover, after escaping from the capital, the Prince of Zhenbei did not return to the northern border immediately, but accompanied his son to the western border.
Although he was not feeling well, the Duke of Weiguo's brain was still as good as ever. Although Fang Huaiying only said a few simple words and ran out to ask Yu Zizhen for help, he still realized that Yu Zizhen's visit was definitely not just to see him.
"Junior greets Duke Weiguo." Yu Zizhen followed Fang Huaiying, who apologized to her repeatedly, into the main hall and saluted Duke Weiguo, who looked pale and thin but still had a straight back.
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite." Duke Weiguo was a little out of breath. He raised his hand and gestured to Yu Zizhen, "Sit down."
Yu Zizhen sat down as he was told, and Fang Huaiying quickly asked the servants to bring in snacks and hot tea.
Yu Zizhen glanced at Fang Huaiying, who was looking worried. "If you trust me, my Lord, I would like to take your pulse."
Duke Weiguo had heard Fang Huaiying mention Yu Zizhen's medical skills more than once. He held out his wrist and said, "Thank you, my Lord."
Yu Zizhen took out the pulse pillow and motioned Duke Weiguo to put his hand on it.
After a moment, she released her grip on the Duke of Wei's wrist. "Excessive worry, overwork, and a flare-up of an old injury... I'm sure many doctors have already explained the Duke's physical condition and its causes to you."
Duke Wei's expression remained normal. He nodded slightly and said, "I have indeed heard these words many times."
"Father!" Fang Huaiying's face was pale. He found it even harder than the Duke of Wei to accept that his physical condition had deteriorated to this point. He looked at Yu Zizhen with hopeful eyes, "Zizhen, my father..."
"I can cure it." Yu Zizhen nodded. "Although it's definitely impossible to make the Duke fully recover in a short period of time, it's no problem to make him healthier."
From hell to heaven, Fang Huaiying was so excited that tears came to her eyes.
He chased after Yu Zizhen anxiously and asked, "How long will it take for my father to fully recover? You..."
He suddenly got stuck in the middle of his speech because he suddenly remembered that Yu Zizhen didn't have much time to stay here.
Yu Zizhen pressed his hands down, signaling him to remain calm. "Although I can't stay here permanently, I believe the Duke has experienced doctors he can trust. After I develop a treatment plan, I can bring the Duke's trusted doctors with him. That way, even after I leave, they can continue to use my methods to remove the cold poison, repair hidden injuries, and regulate the Duke's body."
Fang Huaiying was overjoyed. "Are you willing to pass on your medical skills to others?"
Yu Zizhen shrugged. "Didn't someone teach me my medical skills? If I were to say, the thing that shouldn't be hidden the most in this world is how to keep people well fed, clothed, and healthy. It would be fine if I didn't know how to do it, but now that I do, I'm definitely going to spread the word so more people can benefit from it."
When Fang Huaiying heard her say this, she immediately remembered that when Yu Zizhen organized free medical consultations in the capital, he would always tell the poor people some pharmacology, so that for minor illnesses and pains, they could go to the countryside to find herbs and boil water to drink, instead of just enduring it.
But that simple herbal knowledge is definitely not the same as the medical methods that Yu Zizhen is going to use on his father. Fang Huaiying didn't expect that Yu Zizhen would be willing to teach others this kind of secret skill that can be regarded as his signature skill.
What he didn't know was that Duke Wei was actually more touched by Yu Zizhen's words than he was.
Duke Weiguo is different from Prince Zhenbei and Duke Jingguo. He has truly experienced hunger, cold, and illness without money for medical treatment. People like Duke Weiguo who have truly suffered are most easily moved by Yu Zizhen's broad-mindedness and kindness.
"I'll go write the plan, please do as you please, Duke." Yu Zizhen said this and walked to the long table where there were pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Seeing this, Fang Huaiying, who was in a complicated mood, hurriedly helped Duke Weiguo back to the inner room and carefully placed him on the bed.
Duke Weiguo lay down comfortably with the help of his son. The father and son sat face to face and began to discuss in a low voice what had happened in the capital during this period.
Before, Fang Huaiying only had time to tell him a few short sentences: "Lu Tong forced the emperor to abdicate, the empress dowager died, the emperor and the eldest prince, the second prince, and Xiao Shaoke fled, and he got the news about Yu Zizhen, so he also fled the capital." Now, the Duke of Weiguo had time to ask him about the details.
They deliberately controlled the volume so that the conversation would not affect Yu Zizhen's writing of what she called the "treatment plan".
The Duke of Weiguo had many health problems, and excessive worry and illness caused by overwork were the first problems that Yu Zizhen had to solve.
She wrote the word "rest" carefully in the treatment plan.
She had already made up her mind. Once the plan was finalized, she would suggest that the Duke of Wei go to live in a separate courtyard or a military camp where none of his brothers or nephews were serving. Although the conditions in the separate courtyard and the military camp were more difficult than those in the Duke's Mansion, at least he would not have to face the mess at home every day.
Fang Huaiying didn't know about the news because she had no channels, but she had heard a lot of gossip about the Weiguo Mansion from the baby voice system.
As for the Duke of Wei's confused old mother and his greedy brothers and nephews, none of them truly cared about the Duke of Wei's health and longevity.
In their minds, the most important thing is how to continue to hold power after the death of Duke Weiguo. When Duke Weiguo dies is the least important thing to them.
It would be strange if Duke Weiguo was not exhausted and overly worried as he was always being harassed by this group of people.
Let him stay away from these weirdos, and let him delegate some of the tasks at hand to his trustworthy subordinates, and he can basically achieve the goal of "resting".
As for the cold poison in his body, Yu Zizhen could remove most of it through acupuncture and medication, and she could also ask others to help remove the remaining small part.
The rest of the conditioning of the body and the repair of hidden injuries cannot be solved in a short period of time. Except for a few injuries that the Duke of Wei suffered in the past but were not properly treated, thus leaving great hidden dangers, Yu Zizhen has already planned to help him operate with the assistance of the little baby voice system. For the rest, Yu Zizhen plans to slowly adjust him with Chinese medicine, acupuncture and food supplements.
