At this moment, the innkeeper's voice came: "Here we are, the doctor is here!"
He walked quickly to Zhao Ju's side and said, "This is the best doctor in the city..."
Before the waiter could finish his words, Zhao Ju had already grabbed the doctor's collar and dragged him into the house.
The cold tone was full of threats and warnings: "If anything happens to her, none of you will survive!"
The old doctor didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, but the people standing at the door were all dressed as officers and soldiers, so he thought they must be important people with extraordinary status.
He didn't dare to delay and quickly bent down to agree.
He walked to the bed and looked at the jade-like person lying on the bed. His face was pale at this moment.
Thinking of how much the official cared about this woman, the old doctor took out a piece of cloth and placed it on Su Muyan's wrist.
He took Su Muyan's pulse for a long time with trepidation, and his frown gradually relaxed, revealing a look of relief.
The pulse diagnosis is over.
Zhao Ju asked in a deep voice, "What was the result?"
The old doctor bowed respectfully and said carefully, "This lady's pulse is tense and rapid, which is a sign of anger attacking her heart. In addition, the cold has entered her body, which is why she has fainted. Wait for me to prescribe a prescription to relieve depression and feed her. She will recuperate for a period of time."
"You must keep your mood open at ordinary times and avoid extreme mood swings."
"I want her to wake up immediately!"
"Sir, calm down! My wife is weak, and forcing her to wake up might damage her health!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ju's face darkened and he said in a hoarse voice, "What about the external injuries?"
The old doctor was startled for a moment, then immediately checked Su Muyan's arm, which was exposed outside her sleeve. "They are just scratches. Apply the Jade Cream for a while and they will heal."
As he spoke, he opened the medicine box and took out a jade box: "This plaster is made of pearl powder and..."
Zhao Ju snatched the ointment from his hand, smelled it, frowned, and shouted sternly: "Get out!"
The old doctor had never been treated so badly before, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time. Instead, he felt a little relieved.
He quickly packed up his things and left.
Zhao Ju shouted, "Bring me paper and pen."
After a while, the attendant brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhao Ju frowned and wrote down a prescription.
The Zhao family has been royal doctors for generations. Although he is not specialized in this, he has been exposed to it since he was a child and knows a little about it.
The prescription written by the old doctor was quite standard, so he added some rare herbs to enhance its efficacy.
As for the Yurong ointment given by the old doctor, it was just an ordinary anti-inflammatory ointment with a bad smell.
How could his Yan'er use such a crude thing?
After Dayu Valley, there were several days of clear weather.
In a courtyard in Yuquan Town, southern Jiangsu.
In the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, the exquisite attic with flying eaves and pointed corners is hidden among the swaying flowers and trees. Various flowers are blooming in front of the windows and on the eaves, which are colorful.
The breeze brought the faint fragrance of flowers. Su Muyan looked up and saw countless servants and guards walking back and forth, and small paths leading to deep courtyards.
But there was no way for her to leave this cage.
She has been imprisoned here by Zhao Ju for several days, and has been harassed and bullied by him every day. If it were not for the desire to see her brother again, she would have died with Zhao Ju long ago!
Early this morning, Zhao Ju was suddenly called away by his close followers, as if some news had come from the capital.
At this time, Zhao Ju in the front yard heard that Xiao Yunchen had captured the bandits who fled to southern Xinjiang, and the Su family's charges were settled and they would be beheaded in public tomorrow.
He suddenly felt a black screen before his eyes.
"Mu Yan must not know about this!" He ordered in a cold voice with a gloomy face, "Tell everyone in the courtyard to watch their mouths. If I find anyone gossiping and leaking this, I will pull out their tongue, chop it up, and feed it to the dogs!"
The housekeeper was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly replied, "Yes!"
Zhao Ju waved his hand, signaling everyone in the room to leave.
The attendant who came to report the news whispered, "There is one more thing."
He looked around and saw that everyone in the house had left. He then took a few steps closer and whispered, "Master told you not to return to the capital for the time being. If you think the situation is not right, flee to the northwest."
Zhao Ju: "But something happened at home?"
The attendant said, "It seems that there has been some grudge between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor recently. After Xiao Yunchen finished investigating the affairs of the Su Mansion, he set his sights on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Prince and the Emperor..." Zhao Ju drummed his fingers on the table and snorted coldly, "Xiao Yunchen is truly vindictive. He's so resentful of the Crown Prince for forcing him to take the immortality pill that he's actually considering deposing him as the Crown Prince because of it?"
He suddenly slammed his palm on the table and said, "I want to see if he has the ability!"
The attendant lowered his voice and said, "The master said that the incident at the Su Mansion was probably just a prelude. Now the rumors are spreading in the court that the emperor and the crown prince will..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Ju suddenly shouted at him to stop.
He quickly walked to the door to confirm that no one was there, then turned around and kicked his attendant, whispering a warning: "How dare you say such a thing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The attendant covered his abdomen, his face pale. "I know I was wrong. But the master specifically instructed that if there is any incident in the capital, you must let me take Miss Su with you..."
"Take her with you?" Zhao Ju thought of Su Muyan's attitude towards him and curled his lips in self-mockery: "She wants to kill me now."
"Go prepare the carriage and set out from the small road at midnight tonight."
The attendant was startled: "Master, are you planning to..."
Zhao Ju's eyes were gloomy. "Go prepare some calming incense first. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"yes!"
The midday sun was shining brightly outside. Zhao Ju remembered that he had not had lunch yet, so he walked out of the study to look for Su Muyan.
In the attic, Su Muyan leaned against the carved window, her fingers unconsciously stroking the wood grain on the window frame, thinking of her elder brother who was far away in the capital.
No, she wanted to go to Zhao Ju to find out, but something unexpected happened in the Su family.
"Miss, it's time for you to take your medicine." The maid came in holding a medicine bowl and reminded softly.
Su Muyan glanced at the thick black medicine juice, raised her hand and knocked over the medicine cup.
The jade-colored medicine cup shattered into pieces with a crisp "crack." The brown medicinal liquid spilled onto the wooden floor, and the bitter aroma of traditional Chinese medicine filled the entire room.
Su Muyan said coldly: "Tell Zhao Ju that unless he lets me see my brother, I would rather die of illness!"
After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the corridor outside the house and went to the front yard.
When walking through the corridor and passing the rockery in the middle courtyard, I could vaguely hear the deliberately suppressed voices of conversation behind the rockery.
"Tomorrow at noon? ...Caishikou..."
"Hush! Are you going to die? The Master said..."
"Alas! Who could have imagined that the Su Mansion would end up like this..."
Su Muyan didn't hear it clearly, but she knew that something must have happened in their Su Mansion!
Her already uneasy mood reached its peak at this moment. Su Muyan always felt that some truth that she could hardly accept was about to be revealed.
She felt as if the blood in her body had solidified, and her pale fingertips trembled slightly.
Just as he was about to rush over to ask for clarification, he unexpectedly bumped into a hard chest on his back.
