Chapter 557 He Comes (4)
The person who came was Gao Yang, a young imperial physician in the palace.
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin looked at the list with suspicion. Although Gao Yang's medical skills were praised in the palace, the doctors who treated him were all concubines, and women always liked flashy things. No one could say that Gao Yang's medical skills weren't praised because of his good looks. Moreover, people generally have a common perception of doctors: the older they are, the more outstanding their medical skills are, while the younger ones only know the basics.
Shen Xin did not expect that the imperial physician invited by the palace was actually Gao Yang. It was difficult to refuse for the time being. If he asked again, it would probably waste a lot of time.
The legendary Doctor Gao was very knowledgeable about worldly affairs. He was first welcomed in with great style, walked up to the unconscious Luo Tan, and took his pulse.
Everyone stared at him intently. After a long while, Gao Yang shook his head and sighed, "His breath is weak, his pulse is disordered, the wound is too deep, it has damaged his lungs, and he has lost a lot of blood. It's difficult."
Luo Xueyan immediately said, "He's just another quack. Qiu'er, take your father's note and ask for another doctor."
"Wait!" Gao Yang said unhappily, "I only said it was difficult, I didn't say it was incurable. You invited me to come over for a visit, and then went to find another doctor. What do you mean, General Shen?"
"Can you really save cousin Tan?" Chen Qiu stepped forward and asked.
"If you delay any longer, I will be helpless." Gao Yang said.
"Okay." Shen Xin said, "I trust you. If you can cure Tan'er, the Shen family will definitely pay you a large sum of money!"
Gao Yang laughed and said, "No, no, I dare not. A doctor is like a caring parent. There is no need for money or anything like that. Miss Luo's life is in danger. There is no time to delay. I must give Miss Luo acupuncture first. Please wait outside."
Luo Xueyan was still hesitant, but Chen Xin had already left. He had traveled extensively and knew that some capable people often had peculiar habits. Furthermore, medical skills were most afraid of being leaked to outsiders. Gao Yang was probably afraid of being overlooked.
Chen Qiu and Luo Ling also followed closely behind Shen Xin. Seeing this, Luo Xueyan had no choice but to follow them out no matter how worried she was.
Gao Yang and Luo Tan, who lay unconscious on the bed, were the only ones left in the room. Gao Yang put down his medical kit and muttered to himself as he opened it, "What does this have to do with me? I'm the one doing the hard work."
He took out a cloth bag and spread it out, revealing dozens of golden needles of various sizes and shapes.
Gao Yang said, “It’s fine to please Shen Miao, but now you have to please your family as well?” He shook his head, reached out to unbutton Luo Tan’s clothes, and said helplessly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to do this. If you want to take responsibility, then go to Prince Rui’s mansion. The one wearing the mask is here.”
…
Time passed quickly, and two days went by in a row.
Over the past two days, the imperial physician, Gao, had truly demonstrated his exceptional medical skills. When all the other doctors were at their wits' end, Gao Yang administered two acupuncture treatments and had Luo Tan fed two bowls of decoction. After that, Luo Tan's breathing gradually stabilized, and his pulse was much stronger than before. Another doctor, who examined him, declared that at least his life was saved.
Luo Xueyan changed her previous skeptical attitude towards Gao Yang and treated him as a guest of honor. Because she was worried that Luo Tan's condition would relapse, and Gao Yang only had two more acupuncture treatments to complete, Luo Xueyan let Gao Yang live in the Shen residence so that she could check on Luo Tan's condition every day.
Luo Tan's condition has stabilized, but there is still no good news from Shen Miao.
Emperor Wenhui was furious when he learned of this. Putting aside his prejudice against Chen Xin, the thought of someone abducting the emperor's legitimate daughter from beneath his feet, especially with the envoys from Qin and Daliang still present, clearly indicated that the capital was in turmoil and the people could no longer live and work in peace. Therefore, he tacitly approved of Chen Xin's high-profile search for his daughter.
