Fan Chengzhuo's heart skipped a beat.
His expression changed, "I just feel a little unwell."
Ye Chutang blinked, seeming a little puzzled, "Really? But seeing how anxious Master Fan's driver was just now, it doesn't seem like a small problem, does it? Otherwise, how about I diagnose Master Fan's pulse?"
She said it so calmly, naturally and logically.
Fan Chengzhuo's first reaction was to refuse, "No need!"
He had seen the methods of the woman in front of him, who knew if she would notice anything!
Ye Chutang was stunned.
The people around also cast confused and suspicious looks at him.
Only then did Fan Chengzhuo realize that his reaction was too intense and too abnormal - everyone in the capital knew that Ye Chutang was an excellent doctor. He was not feeling well at the moment, and Ye Chutang took the initiative to ask if he could see him, but he refused without even thinking about it.
Anyone who sees this would probably think that there is something wrong with him!
Fan Chengzhuo was secretly annoyed, thinking that today was really a bad day for him!
He had been sick for quite some time, but today he just couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to see a doctor, but he happened to meet Ye Chutang as soon as he went out!
In front of so many people!
Fan Chengzhuo took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calm. "Don't misunderstand Miss Ye Er. This is actually an old illness. I can just find a doctor to check it out. There is really no need to trouble Miss Ye Er..."
Ye Chutang interrupted him with a faint smile, "Seeking medical advice is a common thing. Lord Fan should not be afraid of seeing a doctor. As for me... Lord Fan, you don't have to worry. When I opened a clinic in Jiangling, I saw dozens of patients every day. Sometimes there were long queues outside the door. Now I am only seeing you, so it is natural. Or... Lord Fan is dissatisfied with me and doesn't want me to feel your pulse?"
"I--"
Fan Chengzhuo was speechless for a moment.
Even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it in front of so many people!
After a moment of stalemate, Fan Chengzhuo could only bite the bullet and say, "In that case, I'll trouble Miss Ye Er."
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly, "The street is too noisy, why don't we go somewhere else. It happens that this place is not far from Yunlai Tavern, I wonder if Lord Fan would be willing to come?"
Fan Chengzhuo had no choice but to accept it.
That’s all!
Just deal with her casually!
Fan Chengzhuo calmed himself down and said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Ye Er."
…
Yunlai Tavern.
As soon as Ye Chutang arrived, he asked Xue Ran to vacate a private room.
Xue Ran didn't react at first, but when she saw Fan Chengzhuo behind her the next moment, she guessed something and responded with a smile.
"Yes. Second Miss, would you like some wine?"
Ye Chutang shook his head. "Master Fan is not feeling well and should not drink alcohol. Just bring a pot of hot tea."
"yes."
Xue Ran responded respectfully, turned around and took the two of them to the second floor.
Fan Chengzhuo's whole body was filled with resistance.
The last time he came, he was just feeling depressed and had no place to vent his emotions. He also wanted to take the opportunity to find out if there was anything fishy about the Yunlai Tavern.
But this time it was different, he didn't have that intention at all.
All he was thinking about now was how to prevent Ye Chutang from discovering his problems!
Fan Chengzhuo really didn't dare to gamble.
It would be fine if it was anyone else, but it had to be Ye Chutang!
If she really noticed something...
Just as Fan Chengzhuo was thinking about how to deal with the situation, a man came down the stairs and bumped his shoulder with him.
Fan Chengzhuo suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw the other person's face clearly, his heart skipped a beat.
The man looked hurried and seemed very anxious. He just said "I'm sorry" in a low voice and walked away quickly without looking around.
Fan Chengzhuo turned around and saw the man walking out quickly.
Xue Ran noticed that Fan Chengzhuo hadn't caught up, so he looked back and said with an apologetic smile, "Oh, I'm so sorry, that guy may have drunk too much and offended you. Master Fan, are you okay?"
As he spoke, Ye Chutang also turned around and looked over with a questioning look.
Fan Chengzhuo immediately retracted his gaze, "No, nothing."
Ye Chutang did not doubt him and came to the first box on the right side of the second floor. He raised his hand and said, "Master Fan, please come in."
Fan Chengzhuo paused, then came to the door, but did not go in immediately. He just looked around the corridor calmly for a few times, and asked casually,
"The second floor of Yunlai Tavern is really well-known. I heard that the cost of renting a room alone is very high?"
Xue Ran smiled and said, "A thousand gold coins cannot buy the things you love. It is rare to find happiness in life, and no amount of money can compare to it, don't you think?"
Fan Chengzhuo had a strange smile on his face.
"Yes, that's right."
He looked at Ye Chutang with an ambiguous expression, "Second Miss Ye, the shopkeeper you invited seems to be a rare and insightful person - cough - cough cough!"
Before Fan Chengzhuo could finish his words, he started coughing again.
Ye Chutang was the first to push the door open, took out the medicine box from the carriage, took out the pulse pillow, and gestured politely.
"Master Fan, please take a seat."
Fan Chengzhuo followed in coughing and sat down opposite Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang seemed unaware of his uneasiness and began to feel his pulse.
Fan Chengzhuo's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something, and he swallowed back the rest of his cough, his face slightly purple.
Time seems to be taking longer.
Every minute and every second is torture for Fan Chengzhuo.
Ye Chutang frowned slightly.
Fan Chengzhuo's heart suddenly jumped. He tried his best to suppress the urge to pull his arm back and kept his voice steady. "Why, did Miss Ye Er see anything? What is going on with my illness?"
Ye Chutang paused for a moment before withdrawing his hand, looking hesitant.
"Master Fan's pulse... seems to indicate poisoning?"
"Seems?" Fan Chengzhuo asked back.
Ye Chutang nodded, frowning even more tightly, "Master Fan's pulse is rapid, and he is cold inside and hot outside. Did he have a high fever in the past few days?"
Fan Chengzhuo's heart tightened, but he could only nod, "I have had a high fever for several days in a row. Today, the fever finally subsided, but... I feel more and more tired. I am out of breath after walking a few steps. The previous doctors didn't know why, so I thought of going out to find another doctor to see."
He stared at Ye Chutang closely, not missing any subtle changes on her face, and cautiously tested her, "Am I really poisoned?"
Ye Chutang paused for a moment, "Looking at your condition, it is indeed caused by poisoning, but... it doesn't seem like it. I have seen many kinds of poisons, but I have never heard of any kind that would cause such a pulse condition..."
Fan Chengzhuo immediately said, "There are many kinds of poisons in the world, and it is impossible for Miss Ye Er to have seen every kind. What I want to know is, is this poison fatal?"
Ye Chutang pondered for a moment, "This should be a chronic poison. How about this, I will prescribe a prescription for you first, you take it back and have someone prepare the medicine according to the prescription to see if there is any improvement, how about that?" (End of this chapter)
