Chapter 487 Treating a strange person, Xuetuan assists
The old man snorted, "Do you even need to ask? I've been practicing medicine for 35 years. How can a kid like him, whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, compare with me?"
The guard looked at the two people who took down the list in front of him. One was an old man and the other was a young man. In terms of strength and experience, it must be the old man.
"Then you, please follow me."
The old man looked at Shen Chuwei proudly, then left with the guards.
Shen Chuwei watched the old man follow the guards away, but she was not angry.
At this time, Qin Xiao came over and said, "Master, you can only climb to the other side of the mountain, but you can take a carriage to the Xing Miao Imperial City, but..."
Shen Chuwei asked: "Just what?"
Qin Xiao said: "There are checkpoints to enter the Imperial City. Without someone inside the Imperial City to lead the way or a token, you cannot enter."
"It's so troublesome, almost the same as entering the imperial palace." Shen Chuwei looked at the old man and the guards who had already gone far away in the carriage. It seemed that if he went in, he could only be led by the guards.
"If I had known, I would have stopped them earlier."
Qin Xiao followed Shen Chuwei's line of sight and saw people and merchants everywhere. "What happened to the master?"
Shen Chuwei said, "Someone from the Imperial City just posted a notice saying that they would give a reward of 10,000 gold to anyone who cured someone."
Qin Xiao immediately understood that Shen Chuwei wanted to take the opportunity to go in.
"Master, do you think His Highness is in the Imperial City?"
Shen Chuwei said faintly, "I don't know either. General Xing sent so many people but couldn't find him. He must have not been found in the imperial city. So I want to go in and try my luck. By eliminating one by one, one day, I will be able to find His Highness."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard this. There would be a chance only if he looked for it.
Shen Chuwei glanced around and saw many small shops, restaurants, and teahouses nearby. She was ultimately disappointed with the teahouse.
"Let's go in and have some tea while we wait."
"Yes." Qin Xiao responded and followed Shen Chuwei into the teahouse.
Shen Chuwei chose a seat near the window, from which she could see the bulletin board.
Shen Chuwei ordered some fruits and tea, then sat down, ate slowly, and drank tea when she was thirsty.
Qin Xiao had never eaten at the same table with his master, so etiquette and hierarchy were already ingrained in his bones.
Shen Chuwei had no choice but to repeat: "Sit down, have tea and snacks together."
Qin Xiao lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, "Master, I dare not."
Shen Chu snorted: "You don't even listen to the master. Are you so bold?"
Qin Xiao paused when he heard this.
Shen Chuwei continued, "Let's conserve our energy first, otherwise how can we have the energy and strength to go find His Highness, right?"
"Master, what you said makes sense." Qin Xiao had no choice but to sit down at the table. He felt a little uncomfortable at first.
But after a while, Qin Xiao found that sitting at the same table with Shen Chuwei did not cause any pressure other than the rules of etiquette and hierarchy.
No wonder Chunxi said that her master was the best master in the world. He was never mean to her, nor did he let her do rough work. His food and drink were all very good.
Whenever there is delicious food, hers is indispensable.
Such a master is indeed very rare.
Shen Chuwei ate a plate of fruit and drank two cups of tea.
Xuetuan sat on another chair, ate two fruits, drank some tea, and then leisurely fell asleep on the chair.
The wait lasted until the afternoon. Shen Chuwei and Qin Xiao had lunch and continued to wait.
Finally, at 3 p.m., the guards came to post the imperial edict again, stating that the old man had not been able to cure the disease.
"Go out and take a look." Shen Chuwei picked up Xuetuan, stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
Qin Xiao took out the silver and put it on the table, then followed him.
Shen Chuwei came to the bulletin board holding Xuetuan. At this time, people who were there to watch the fun and eat onlookers gradually gathered around.
Even Doctor Qian, who had revealed the imperial edict earlier, was there, and some onlookers couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Qian, you didn't get the reward."
Doctor Qian snorted: "What do you want to take? He has a strange disease, it's incurable. If I can't cure it, then no one can cure it."
"It seems that the patient has an incurable disease. I'm afraid no one will be able to get the bounty."
"That's for sure. No matter how long the imperial edict I've uncovered has been posted, no one would dare to uncover it."
As soon as Doctor Qian finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers shouted in surprise: "Someone has revealed the imperial edict."
"Impossible." Doctor Qian looked at the imperial edict, and saw the person who had unveiled the imperial edict with her in the morning.
Shen Chuwei held Xuetuan in her arms, stretched out a hand, and neatly took down the imperial edict.
Doctor Qian snorted: "He is just a young boy, how dare he reveal the imperial edict?"
The guards also thought Shen Chuwei was here to cause trouble, "You are just a little kid, go play somewhere else."
As the guard said this, he tried to reach out and grab the imperial edict, but Shen Chuwei dodged him skillfully.
The guard was stunned when he saw the young man in front of him.
Shen Chuwei said quietly, "Since I dare to reveal the imperial edict, I must have medical skills. As the ancients said, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't judge the sea by its measurement. Do you understand?"
The guard was speechless and after a long pause, he said, "If you are just a show-off, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Shen Chu smiled slightly, "You have been feeling a little weak during sex recently, am I right?"
The guard was stunned when he heard this. He had been unable to control himself whenever he was intimate with a woman recently. He had never mentioned such a private matter to anyone else. How could he be so accurate in his prediction without taking her pulse?
"How do you know that?"
Shen Chuwei said calmly: "Your lips are a little black, which is a sign of kidney deficiency."
The guard hurriedly asked: "How can it be cured?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "My medical fee is very expensive."
The guard wanted to say something, but Shen Chuwei asked again, "Can you lead the way now?"
The guard was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay, please follow me."
A carriage was parked not far from the bulletin board, and Shen Chuwei got on the carriage under the guidance of the guards.
When Qin Xiao was about to go up, someone stopped him, "You can't go up."
Shen Chuwei said: "He is my follower and my assistant. If you don't let him get on the carriage, who will help me treat the disease?"
The guard hesitated and stared at Qin Xiao for a long time before allowing him to get on the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, the guards drove the carriage towards the imperial city.
Shen Chuwei held Xuetuan in her arms, opened the curtain and looked outside. The carriage was moving very fast.
She didn't know how long it had been before the carriage suddenly stopped. She opened the curtain again and looked out, and found that it was a checkpoint. After passing it, she could enter the Xing Miao Imperial City.
At this moment, the curtain of the car was suddenly opened by someone. It was a guard who checked and made sure that there was nothing wrong, then let the person pass.
After driving for a few minutes, the carriage slowly stopped.
Shen Chuwei heard the sound of the door opening. It was not because she had good hearing, but because the sound was too loud, so loud that she could not ignore it.
When the carriage started moving again, it was much slower than before. Only after it stopped did the curtains open by the guards.
"Young Master, we're here."
Shen Chuwei got off the carriage holding Xuetuan, and looked up at the imperial city in front of her. It was completely different from the magnificent Daxia Palace.
The Imperial City is not as big as the Imperial Palace, and its shape is very much like a castle, but it is shorter than a castle. The walls seem to be painted white, and at first glance, they look snow-white.
"Please follow me, young master."
Shen Chuwei retracted her gaze and followed the guards into the white gate. After entering, she found that there was a different world inside. Compared with the white walls, there was green inside, with large tracts of green plants and the grass on the ground was also green.
The exotic flowers and plants are dazzling.
Shen Chuwei was indeed attracted by those exotic flowers and plants, but suddenly a cold voice made her look away.
"Isn't this a child? Why are you taking even a child back?" The speaker was the eldest son of the clan leader, Ouyang Jingyu.
Shen Chuwei looked at the person who was speaking. He was a man in his early thirties. He was wearing gorgeous Xing Miao clothing and a scarf on his head. Because he was handsome, he looked good even in clothing that was different from that of Da Xia.
The guard leaned his head and said, "Master, this young master can treat illnesses."
Ouyang Jingyu asked in a questioning tone: "Can you treat illnesses?"
Shen Chuwei said: "Of course, otherwise you wouldn't dare to reveal the imperial edict?"
Seeing that the young man was so frivolous, Ouyang Jingyu snorted, "In that case, I'll give you a chance. If you're just an empty shell, get out as soon as possible."
Shen Chuwei said nothing.
Ouyang Jingyu said: "Come with me, but your followers cannot enter."
Shen Chuwei glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "Just wait here."
Qin Xiao hesitated for a long time, then nodded, "Yes, young master."
Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyu and took a look at the imperial city of the Xing Miao tribe. Both the layout and decoration inside were in great contrast to the Daxia Palace.
The Daxia Palace has red walls and green tiles, while the Xingmiao Imperial City is full of a fresh and clean feel.
Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyu into a room, and then came to the bed, where she saw a man lying on the bed. The man's face was very pale, his brows were wrinkled, and he looked very uncomfortable.
Ouyang Jingyu introduced: "This is my third brother. He has been ill for more than two years. The doctor said there is no hope for him. If you can cure him, ten thousand gold coins will be yours."
Shen Chuwei said: "Let me take your pulse first."
"Okay." Ouyang Jingyu stepped aside.
Shen Chuwei walked to the bedside and sat down. She put Xuetuan on her legs, took the patient's hand out, and then took the pulse.
She frowned, took back her hand and said to Ouyang Jingyu: "He is indeed very ill, but I don't have that much medicine with me, I need to go back and get it."
Ouyang Jingyu asked in a questioning tone: "You mean, my third brother can be saved?"
"Yes," Shen Chu paused for a moment and continued, "But it's very difficult."
"You wait outside first, I'll go tell father." Ouyang Jingyu said and led Shen Chuwei out.
When they reached the stone table in the garden, Ouyang Jingyu asked Shen Chuwei to wait here, and then strode away.
Just as Shen Chuwei was about to sit down, the snowball in her arms suddenly jumped out and ran all the way to the other end of the garden.
"Xuetuan." Shen Chuwei hurriedly chased after him.
The snowball actually didn't run very fast.
Shen Chuwei knew Xuetuan too well. He was a very lazy pet who would rather let someone hold him or her and let him walk.
It ran away by itself now, there is a high probability that something happened.
Shen Chuwei followed closely behind Xuetuan. They didn't know how long they had walked before they arrived in front of an artificial lake. On the right side of the lake was a water pavilion.
Xuetuan ran all the way into the pavilion, and she followed him in.
When I stepped into the pavilion, I found that it was cooler inside than outside.
Just as she was admiring Xuetuan's ability to find a place, she saw a man sitting at the table. The man was sitting in a wheelchair with his back to her, holding a teacup in his hand and drinking slowly.
The man had a gauze covering his eyes, which might indicate that he had an eye injury.
At this moment, Xuetuan suddenly jumped into the man's arms and called out "meow" to him.
Shen Chuwei has been with Xuetuan for such a long time, but it won’t let anyone hug it unless it’s someone it’s particularly familiar with, let alone a stranger?
Xuetuan actually jumped into his arms on her own initiative, which really surprised her.
