Chapter 234: Seeing a Doctor
"The king will go and see it in person."
After all, there is still more than a month before the death. If the old doctor Gu can recover during this period, then there will be no problem.
Ling Fengxun acted decisively and took a car directly to the home of the doctor Gu. The
one who came to greet him was the old doctor's son, Gu Yuanpan. When
Gu Yuanpan saw that the person outside the door was the prince, he bowed hurriedly. His face was a little pale and haggard, and his eye sockets were sunken. It seemed that he had not rested well recently.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Ling Fengxun asked directly: "The king is here to visit Mr. Gu."
Gu Yuanpan hurriedly leaned over and made a gesture of invitation.
"My father is recuperating in the courtyard inside. Please follow me, Your Majesty."
He walked in front and led the way. They passed through the tree-lined path of Gu's mansion and soon arrived at an elegant courtyard.
As soon as they entered, they could even smell the elegant fragrance of herbs. Ling Fengxun was still in the courtyard and saw many herbs planted by the old doctor himself. He
strode into the room and suddenly the strong smell of medicine rushed into his nose. Ling Fengxun's eyes fell on the bed inside. The old doctor Gu was lying on it with his eyes closed, and his heart sank.
Although he often ordered this old man, the old doctor never complained.
Even though he is the regent king, he is the only one in the capital city whom he trusts the most and who can make him feel at ease.
Ling Fengxun sat on a chair brought by a maid in the room, his eyes fell on the old doctor, then he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the court judge Gu who was standing beside him.
"How is the old doctor's condition?"
Court judge Gu sighed, his eyes were full of worry and his heart was full of powerlessness: "Your Highness, my father is suffering from a stroke due to blocked meridians and poor blood circulation. Fortunately, it was discovered early, but it still needs careful conditioning. He will not be able to get out of bed for about two or three months."
When he heard that it would take two or three months, Ling Fengxun's eyes fell into deep thought.
He did not speak, but just kept looking at the old doctor on the bed.
A doctor should not treat himself, and the old doctor who has been practicing medicine for so long has now fallen ill.
Suddenly, the old doctor Gu on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
He seemed to have noticed something, and turned his old and weak face to look in the direction of Ling Fengxun.
"Master Wang!"
He struggled to get up.
But his body would not obey.
Ling Fengxun immediately got up, walked to the bedside, helped the old doctor to lift his upper body slightly, and leaned on the pillow. The
old doctor hesitated for a long time, then coughed softly, and spoke in a very hoarse voice.
It's just that he can't speak clearly at all, and even has a bit of a lisp, so he can only say very slowly, word by word: "I, the old minister, cannot come to greet you, please forgive me, Your Majesty
." Ling Fengxun's eyes were moved: "You should have a good rest, I came here today just to see you."
When the old doctor Gu heard this, he was very moved.
The corners of Gu Yuanpan's mouth twitched, who was standing not far away.
He didn't believe that the prince just came to visit his father.
The old doctor Gu swallowed his saliva and continued: "As for the princess, I'm afraid I can't help her, but fortunately everything went well. If there is anything urgent, you can let Gu Xun replace me."
Ling Fengxun turned around and glanced at Gu Yuanpan not far away.
Judge Gu quickly leaned forward and bowed his head respectfully, showing great courtesy to Ling Fengxun.
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly at Gu Lao's words.
He thought that Judge Gu was indeed quite accomplished in medicine, so he slowly said, "Just focus on recuperating. We can talk about other things after you have recovered."
He suddenly waved his hand to the outside.
A moment later, the servant of the palace came in from outside, holding a tray with a hundred taels of gold. Mr. Gu, who
was lying on the bed, was so wide-eyed when he saw the shining gold ingots. If he was not really ill and could not get out of bed, he would have rushed over with his hands and feet and hugged the gold in his arms.
Seeing the look in the old doctor's eyes, Ling Fengxun couldn't help laughing.
"When you recover and the princess is safe, I will reward you with more."
Regardless of whether it was a cake or not.
The old doctor ate it very happily.
The old man's originally pale face was now a little rosy, and he spoke more fluently.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you. When I recover, please feel free to tell me if there is anything you can use."
Ling Fengxun's originally cold face also had a crack in front of the old doctor, and his expression was obviously a little gentler.
He stood up and said goodbye, then said to Judge Gu who was guarding the door: "Master Gu, come with me, I have something to tell you in detail." Judge
Gu quickly gathered his thoughts and followed the Regent King to a deserted place outside the door.
He said respectfully: "Whatever you have to say, Your Majesty, just tell me. I am willing to serve you at my whim!"
Ling Fengyan waved his hand: "That's not necessary, but someone must take over the old doctor's affairs. Since he recommended you to me, I believe in his vision and hope you will not disappoint me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that I will complete the entrustment well."
Judge Gu's voice was extremely sincere, but his heartbeat quietly accelerated.
He has always known that his father goes to the palace every day, and the princess has not left the house for several months.
Although there is no news coming out of the palace, he knows that there must be some huge secret hidden in the palace.
It's a pity that no one is able to place spies and spies in the palace, otherwise, he would not be completely deprived of information.
His father is still very strict. No matter how he tried to ask indirectly during this period, he couldn't get any clues.
Ling Fengxun glanced at him, and then slowly spoke again with a serious expression: "You must promise not to tell anyone about your visit to the palace for treatment."
Court Judge Gu wanted to raise his hands and swear to the sky.
"I will keep my mouth shut. If you dare to reveal any information, I will die!"
His words finally won Ling Fengxun's trust.
Ling Fengxun nodded and agreed with him: "Well, you will treat this infertility for me now."
Gu Yuanpan: "?"
He was stunned at first, and then he suddenly realized.
It turned out that his father often went to the palace to diagnose diseases, and it was for this disease!
This disease is related to the privacy of the prince, no wonder he didn't say anything
. This disease really can't be told to others.
Gu Yuanpan quickly came back to his senses and suppressed the surprise in his expression: "Prince, I will diagnose your pulse now"
