Chapter 925 Injury (6)
Luo Tan stood at the door angrily, her expression haggard, with dark circles under her eyes. She looked at Gao Yang with an expression that clearly demanded an explanation from him.
Gao Yang was coming back to make medicine. His pharmacy was in his mansion, which also contained many medicinal materials. Gao's mansion and Prince Rui's mansion happened to be not far away from each other, so he returned to his mansion to make medicine. However, he did not expect to be questioned by Luo Tan as soon as he came back.
Luo Tan's maid looked at Gao Yang with an apologetic look. On the morning of the royal hunt, Luo Tan had been instructed by Gao Yang to stay away, but she had slipped out and happened to see Gao Yang walking among the courtiers. Luo Tan, usually clueless about small matters but incredibly shrewd about big ones, immediately turned back to question the maid. Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, the maid confessed everything.
For Luo Tan, this was a bit hard to accept. Gao Yang was a pure doctor, so it didn't matter whether he was in Daliang or Mingqi. But Gao Yang, the Minister of Defense of Daliang, was serving as the imperial physician in Mingqi. In Luo Tan's eyes, this was no different from a spy or a spy from the enemy state. Furthermore, the Luo family was a family of military commanders. When Luo Tan was a child, he and Luo Qian often attended opera troupes, where many of the loyal and brave heroes had been killed by the spies behind the scenes.
Luo Tan originally had a good impression of Gao Yang. Although she had some minor shortcomings, he usually took good care of her. Now the person who took care of her has become a bad person, Luo Tan couldn't accept it.
It was truly a double whammy. Gao Yang was already preoccupied with Xie Jingxing's affairs, and now, coincidentally, he encountered Luo Tan's incident. Previously, he would have certainly explained things to Luo Tan in a gentle and polite manner, but now, time was truly too late. He also thought that Shen Miao must be feeling bad right now, alone in a foreign country with her husband's life hanging by a thread. Perhaps having a sister by her side would be helpful. He said to the servant beside him, "Tell her I'm going inside first. No one else is allowed in." Then he walked straight to the pharmacy.
Luo Tan had originally thought that Gao Yang would explain his difficulties. After all, in her heart, she still didn't believe that Gao Yang would do such a despicable thing. Unexpectedly, Gao Yang not only didn't explain but also ignored her and walked into the house. She said, "Hey, what do you mean by this? Tell me clearly first, what exactly are you..."
"Miss Luo," the servant beside Gao Yang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Let me tell you, things are a bit tricky right now. My master is out seeing a patient today. His Highness the Prince of Prince Rui's mansion is in trouble and needs your treatment."
Luo Tan was stunned: "Prince Rui? Isn't that my brother-in-law? What happened?"
The servant wiped his sweat and said, "This is a long story..."
On the other side, Shen Miao leaned over Xie Jingxing’s bed, blinked, and sat up again.
After taking a nap, she felt much better. She turned her head to look at the man on the bed. He still had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. Seeing that he was fine at the moment, Shen Miao felt relieved. However, she was still worried.
Shen Miao felt that since her rebirth, she had always lived a stable life. Because she had the path of her previous life ahead of her, she always had control over things that others could not. She had never been forced into a desperate situation. But now, for the first time in her life, she had truly experienced the feeling of powerlessness. Although it did not happen to her, it was even more painful than if it had happened to her.
But she didn't know any medical skills, and she couldn't detoxify. All she could offer were three Guiyuan Pills. Putting all her hopes on Gao Yang was something Shen Miao wasn't used to. She slowly reached out and held Xie Jingxing's hand, which was exposed outside the quilt, as if this would put her mind at ease.
Uncle Tang came over to bring some hot tea and snacks to Shen Miao. Shen Miao hadn't rested well and hadn't eaten well, and she looked haggard. Uncle Tang said, "Madam, please eat something too. It must be tiring to take care of the master all the time."
Shen Miao thanked him, then suddenly remembered something. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Uncle Tang, was it the same when His Highness first arrived in Longye two years ago?"
Two years ago, Xie Jingxing returned to Longye for another reason. On the battlefield in the northern border, the Xie family army of Mingqi included Emperor Wenhui's troops, and they were determined to kill him. Xie Jingxing escaped death, but not severe injury. It sounded like a life-or-death situation. Fortunately, Gao Yang was by his side at the time, and Xie Jingxing himself was blessed with good fortune. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be the Prince Rui he is today.
Uncle Tang was startled, and glanced at Xie Jingxing lying on the bed with a melancholic look. His eyes were filled with reminiscence as he said, "So Madam knew this too. Indeed, when the Master first returned to Longye, he was also escorted back. The doctors at the time said there was no hope, and Master Gao was helpless. But in the end, the Master managed to pull through. It was truly a miracle."
