He Zui is an excellent doctor, especially good at detoxification, but when faced with Zhang Ye, who is almost at the end of his life, he is painfully helpless.
The two of them pooled their money for the twenty taels, and they had no savings left. He Zui went to ask the doctors in the Imperial Hospital for help, but no one was willing to help him.
The two men were unlucky. At that time, Pei Yu's collusion with Nanzhao had been exposed. Dashun went to war with Nanzhao and lost many cities to Nanzhao. The whole country fell into chaos. The emperor indulged in wine and women every day and daydreamed of escaping reality.
At this moment, everyone is trying to find a way to escape from danger so that they and their families can survive better.
There were only a few doctors left in the city who had fled, and the remaining ones were helpless against Zhang Ye's illness.
No one paid any attention to them. He Zui tried his best to treat him, but it was a drop in the bucket. He could only watch him become thinner and thinner, and his spirit became more and more depressed.
He Zui's life in the Imperial Hospital was not easy either.
He originally wanted to go in and use his talents, to cure diseases and save lives, and to make a name for himself, but he found that the Imperial Hospital did not care about these things at all. What mattered more was your family, your background, and your "ambition", which was to see how much you could "respect" your superiors.
Zhang Ye eventually passed away, and He Zui took leave to bring him back to his hometown for burial.
He did not tell Zhang Ye about his situation in the Imperial Hospital, so that when Zhang Ye was leaving, he smiled and told him to make a name for himself and strive to make meritorious deeds so that he could burn incense at his grave.
After returning to Beijing, he found that he had been abandoned by the Imperial Hospital and thrown out to take the blame.
He Zui failed to resist and couldn't stop feeling sad.
But he didn't expect that the troubled times would bring him hope.
The last emperor of Dashun passed away, the southern border was in chaos, the army was defeated, and the world was in uncontrollable chaos.
The country might be destroyed. The palace maids hid and fled, and the people from the Imperial Hospital also fled in all directions. No one cared about him, the person who was pushed out to take the blame.
He Zui watched the chaos and desolation of the world and returned to his hometown, planning never to return to the capital again. He would just live his life quietly and guard Zhang Ye's grave for the rest of his life.
I didn't expect that my hometown was not only in the midst of war, but also suffering from famine, and there were very few people left.
Only his old father and a younger sister were left in his family. Zhang Ye's parents were also missing. After making inquiries from many sources, he finally found out that they had taken refuge in the surrounding counties of the capital.
A deserted village and graves overgrown with weeds.
For the first time, He Zui felt homeless.
He cleared the weeds from Zhang Ye's grave, wiped the tombstone, and set out again to leave his hometown to look for his father and sister.
As a result, the remains of several people were found at the foot of Yunwu Peak. They were among a pile of corpses of disaster victims, lying in a pile of rocks. Under the howling wind and rain, they had begun to rot.
He Zui knelt on the ground and cried loudly, crying all night long amidst the storm.
Early the next morning, He Zui found a way to drag a cart to bring the remains of several people back to his hometown and buried them one by one.
At this point, he was truly alone.
Disasters hit his hometown frequently, the climate was dry, and the harvest failed. He Zui had no choice but to leave, and finally arrived at Yunwu Peak aimlessly.
Looking at the peaks shrouded in clouds and mist, the heavy mist in his heart seemed to loosen a little, so He Zui settled down in Yunwu Peak, living by the mountains and rivers, which had a sense of seclusion.
Yunwu Peak is quite high and is actually not very suitable for human habitation, but he has never thought of moving down the mountain.
When he came down the mountain again, it was already the Great Gan Dynasty.
The weather was exceptionally cold that year, and he had no choice but to go down the mountain to buy some cotton quilts to keep out the cold. However, he saw the brightly lit, peaceful and happy capital city, which stunned him for a long time.
After that, he occasionally treated people and earned a meager income. Because of his excellent medical skills, he became somewhat famous over time.
He doesn't care about fame or fortune, and he cures diseases and saves lives based on his mood.
There is a secret in it, which neither Zhou Jing'an nor Jiang Ling knows.
That was the reason why He Zui agreed to help Wan Ran. Apart from Zhang Ye's "Spring Snow Picture", a bigger reason was that Wan Ran had helped them before.
Maybe Wanran herself has forgotten it.
At the beginning, Zhang Ye created calligraphy and paintings to raise money for He Zui, and set up a stall on the street, but the profit was not very high.
Later, a young man saw him and his calligraphy and paintings, and said that he liked them very much, so he gave him five taels of silver and wanted to buy all his calligraphy and paintings.
Zhang Ye realized that the man did not really appreciate his calligraphy and painting, but just felt pity for him seeing him setting up a stall alone in the snow, so he offered his help in a tactful way.
He was very grateful to him and painted two portraits of him, intending to give them to the young man.
The young man only took one painting, saying that five taels of silver was only enough to buy one painting, and he would come back to buy another one and other calligraphy and paintings later.
But he never came back later.
That person was Wanran.
Zhang Ye had been thinking about this matter all the time and told He Zui Ting about it, asking him to keep it in mind and give the second portrait to the young man when he met him in the future.
He Zui only has two paintings and calligraphy by Zhang Ye, one of which is the painting "Wanran".
When he was in the Imperial Hospital, he had heard their gossip. According to their description, he roughly knew that the person in the painting was Pei Xuan, the fifth prince of the previous dynasty. So when Jiang Ling's people asked him to detoxify the bone-dissolving grass, he vaguely guessed that it might be Wanran. After all, Wanran was the only surviving royal orphan at that time.
When he saw Wanran, He Zui recognized him in an instant.
Gorgeous yet cool, it is unforgettable.
