"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that? You've given me such a hot potato, you've really put me in a difficult position." Although Miao Shou agreed at this moment, he still felt aggrieved. If Li Wei hadn't led them here, why would he have come out of seclusion?
"Doctor, just treat him like a businessman, take the money and leave after the consultation," Li Wei said cautiously, knowing he was quite displeased.
“Ordinary patient? Don’t you even think about it? Are they ordinary people?” Miao Shou glared at the carriage.
"Doctor, you've already guessed who I want to see?" Li Wei was surprised that the old man was so astute and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, just look at his clothes, even I, an old man, can't tell. They're made in the palace, and he's accompanied by eunuchs. My eyes aren't blind, how could I not see? I wonder which prince he is?"
"Sir, you are truly a divine being. He is the Fourth Prince," Li Wei exclaimed in astonishment. This old man was practically a spirit.
"The Fourth Prince, known as the 'Cold-Faced King'? It's him! I've been blind." Miao Shou stroked his goatee and looked at the carriage road ahead.
"Fourth Master isn't actually cold-faced; he's just very serious about his work and resolutely enforces the law against disregarding national laws for personal gain, which gives him a tough image. He rarely laughs, perhaps because he has too many things on his mind to smile." Li Wei seemed to be acting as Fourth Master's spokesperson.
"You little brat, did you take some money from him? Why are you always saying nice things to him? I'm still sharp-witted and my eyes aren't blurry. I can still tell right from wrong." Miao Shou glanced at Li Wei sideways.
"Yes, the good thing is that Fourth Master agreed to help me find my brother." Li Wei then told Miaoshou about Li Chuang's disappearance in detail, and of course, he also mentioned Fourth Master's kindness in recognizing his talent.
"Such a thing actually happened? Your brother just disappeared in broad daylight?" Miao Shou said, stroking his goatee. He and Li Wei's friend's mother often chatted together when he was treating her eye disease, so they were quite familiar with each other.
“It’s absolutely true. Li Chuang hasn’t shown up yet. I really don’t know where he went or what he’s doing,” Li Wei sighed.
"So, this cold-faced king is actually a kind person with a warm heart despite his cold exterior?" Miao Shou still refused to believe it. He possessed extraordinary skills, but he didn't open a clinic or become a royal physician because he didn't agree with the Qing Dynasty established by the Manchus.
"After observing him for some time, I can see that the Fourth Prince is indeed a man of great talent and ambition. Although he is not the eldest son of the legitimate wife, he is highly regarded by the current emperor." As Li Wei said this, his expression became very distant.
"Hehe, what, you've bet everything on him?" Miao Shou retorted.
“Sir, you have such skills. Why not use them to save more people instead of entrusting them to these remote villages? It doesn’t matter who sits on the throne. What matters is that he treats the people well and lets them live in peace and prosperity. What difference does it make?” Li Wei advised.
“I am different from you. I am a doctor. Doctors can save lives, but they can also take them. I have no desire to get involved in those struggles.” The skilled healer closed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.
Li Wei knew that if he continued to talk, he wouldn't be able to persuade them and it would only have the opposite effect, so he didn't say anything more.
