At this moment, Shen Xiaochen probably already guessed what was inside the box.
It's probably something he's been dreaming of!
Shen Shi'en slowly said, "Xiao Chen, although you are our adopted son, you have been in my Shen family for more than ten years and have always been obedient and filial, and you have been good to Man Shu!"
"My Shen family has no male heirs. After I leave, I will entrust the Shen family and Manshu to you!"
Shen Shi'en was having some difficulty speaking, but he was trying his best to keep going.
Shen Xiaochen quickly moved closer and said emotionally, "Dad, what are you saying? You're my own father! Dad, you're a lucky man, you'll definitely be alright!"
Shen Shi'en shook his head, saying weakly, "Time is running out. While I'm still lucid, there are some things I need to explain... This is the seal of the Marquis of Guanwai, and the letter of succession. After I leave, you, you take these things to Yandu, and you can officially succeed to the throne..."
At this point, Shen Shi'en's face suddenly turned ashen, as if he couldn't breathe.
Beep beep beep!
The surrounding instruments immediately emitted rapid sounds.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"master!"
Everyone was shocked, but Shen Shi'en could no longer utter a word, and his hand fell limply to his side.
"dad!!"
Shen Manshu was frantic and hurriedly called out to Yang Mingyuan, "Dr. Yang, please take a look at my father and see what's wrong with him!"
"Young Miss, don't worry, I'll give the Marquis acupuncture right away!"
Yang Mingyuan immediately took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints on Shen Shi'en's head.
Beep, beep, beep!
Yang Mingyuan truly lives up to his reputation as the top doctor in Xidu; he really has something. After working on it for a while, the wavy line on the instrument finally began to stabilize again.
Yang Mingyuan then wiped his sweat and said to Shen Manshu, "Miss, we really can't delay any longer. The Marquis is already on the verge of death. With my medical skills, I'm afraid I can't save him more than a few times!"
"You have to hold on, even if you can't!" Shen Manshu gripped his arm tightly. "Dr. Yang, please, please keep my father alive for two more days. I've already sent people to fetch renowned doctors from other places. There will be news in the next two days!"
"Go to another city to find a famous doctor?" Yang Mingyuan frowned.
It wasn't that I was dissatisfied.
As a doctor, he naturally hoped that his patients could recover.
However, he was quite confident in his medical skills.
If even he can't cure it, then there are probably very few people in the world who can cure Shen Shi'en's illness.
Even in Yandu, a city teeming with renowned doctors, he didn't believe that many could surpass him in medical skills.
He felt that Shen Manshu's efforts were completely futile.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed, "Miss, if I may be frank, traditional Chinese medicine is no longer effective for the Marquis's illness!"
Shen Manshu gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll give it a try. The person I invited is an unparalleled expert. He's currently in Guanzhong and is said to have cured many terminal illnesses, even genetic diseases! I want to ask him to give it a try!"
"Oh? Genetic diseases can be cured?" Yang Mingyuan found it unbelievable.
Genetic diseases are congenital diseases, brought into the womb, so how can they be cured?
Even though he has cured many patients with terminal illnesses, he wouldn't dare say he can cure patients with genetic diseases. Unless he uses the Five Elements theory to compensate for the deficiencies in these patients, it still cannot be considered a cure.
Who exactly is this person?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, I, Yang Mingyuan, am quite senior in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. I know most of the experts to some extent. May I ask what this famous doctor's name is?"
Shen Manshu pursed her lips and said, "I don't know his name either, but from what I've gathered, it's said that even the Divine Physician Su from Fengtian is his disciple!"
"What??"
Yang Mingyuan was deeply shocked.
He naturally knew Su Bingchen, the top traditional Chinese medicine expert in Fengtian.
If there's anyone in the entire Feng family who can convince him of their medical skills, it would undoubtedly be that old fellow Su Bingchen.
However, even Su Bingchen calls him a teacher, so just how amazing is this person?
Yang Mingyuan couldn't help but mutter, "If that's the case, this person's medical skills have probably reached the level of unfathomable mystery, and he might really have a chance to cure the Marquis's illness!"
Shen Manshu nodded emphatically. Seeing that Yang Mingyuan was also so certain, she became even more confident.
If her subordinates can bring this miracle doctor back, her father will definitely be saved.
Shen Xiaochen, standing to the side, had a gloomy and uncertain expression.
Damn it!
I thought this old man was going to die soon, but I didn't expect him to pull through again.
How can I become the Marquis of Guanwai if this old fellow doesn't die?
Although he was extremely anxious, he still pretended to be serious and said to Shen Manshu, "Sister, don't worry, Father is a lucky man, he will definitely be alright!"
"How dare you call me 'little sister'?" Shen Manshu coldly swept her gaze over.
"Shen Xiaochen, don't forget, you're just an adopted son! How many times have I warned you not to call me 'sister,' and you're not my brother either!" Shen Manshu coldly reminded him.
She had warned him years ago not to act like an older brother.
Now that his father is seriously ill, he openly calls her his sister. What is his intention?
Shen Xiaochen's face darkened, and he suddenly became somewhat annoyed.
"Young Miss, what are you saying? Even if I was adopted, I've worked hard for this family for over a decade, and been Dad's son for over a decade. How can I not deserve to be the eldest son of the Shen family?!"
In the past, Shen Xiaochen would have tolerated it, and might even have apologized to Shen Manshu in a submissive manner.
But now that Shen Shi'en is critically ill and the imperial seal is within his grasp, he simply cannot bear it.
