Fearless of powerful figures, that's what a true miracle doctor is.
No one noticed that, under the table where no one could see, Dr. Kang's legs were trembling slightly with tension.
At this moment, Steward Qiu arrived with several servants.
"Dr. Kang, the Prime Minister's residence requests your presence."
Kang Taihe continued writing at a leisurely pace: "Please line up for your appointment."
Butler Qiu was not as good-tempered as the two guards sent by the Imperial Advisor. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Dr. Kang, did you hear what I said? The Prime Minister's residence requests your presence."
Kang Taihe stopped writing and looked up at Butler Qiu. "I don't care who you are. If you want to see a doctor, please line up."
"Dr. Kang, don't push your luck! You have to leave now, whether you like it or not!" Butler Qiu said angrily.
Kang Taihe still ignored him, so Butler Qiu simply overturned the table.
Faced with Steward Qiu's domineering attitude, a group of people surrounded Doctor Kang, and the scene at Jishetang was repeated once again. This time, there were even more people protecting Doctor Kang.
However, before Steward Qiu could summon the people from Shuntian Prefecture, two guards stepped forward and blocked his way.
"This must be Steward Qiu from the Prime Minister's residence."
Butler Qiu's imposing manner immediately softened upon seeing their attire, and he asked with a smile, "And you two are?"
“We are from the Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion. We have come to invite Physician Kang to the Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion. We were just queuing up at the back.”
Upon hearing this, Butler Qiu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The people from the Imperial Preceptor's residence were all obediently queuing up, yet he, a mere steward of the Prime Minister's residence, was acting so arrogantly.
Steward Qiu's eyes darted around, and he smiled obsequiously, "Is the Grand Preceptor ill? I will certainly go back and report to the Prime Minister so that he can visit him."
The guard glanced at him. "That's none of Steward Qiu's concern. Is Steward Qiu trying to snatch the person away from the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"
"No, no, since you all arrived first, I should wait a little longer. Please." Steward Qiu waved his hand and left with his servants.
He was merely the steward of the Prime Minister's residence; how could he possibly dare to compete with the Imperial Advisor for someone?
The other people applauded.
Kang Tai bowed to the two guards and said, "Thank you. After I finish examining these patients, I will go with you to the Imperial Preceptor's residence."
The guard glanced around and saw that there weren't many people left before it was their turn. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Kang."
This comparison has greatly increased the people's goodwill towards the Grand Preceptor.
“Look at the people in the Grand Preceptor’s residence, they all follow the rules, unlike some people.”
"The Imperial Advisor is the best."
"Sigh, the comparison is too much."
"Shh, stop talking, are you guys out of your minds?"
Everyone shut up.
When it was the guards' turn, Kang Taihe called over the medicine boy, slung his medicine box over his shoulder, and bowed to the waiting people.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but now it's these two people's turn. I have to go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence with them, and I don't know when I'll be back."
If it's a mild case, you can see other doctors at the clinic; it's the same for everyone. If other doctors can't treat you, please come back tomorrow.
The waiting people had already witnessed what had happened. It was already quite good that the Grand Preceptor was willing to wait like ordinary people. When it was his turn to see a doctor, he should do so without any objection.
After Kang Taihe and the guards left, Steward Qiu returned to the Prime Minister's residence and hurriedly reported to Lu Junyuan, "Young Master, the person has been taken away by the people from the Imperial Preceptor's residence."
Lu Junyuan smelled the licorice in his hand and asked with some surprise, "Who in the Imperial Preceptor's residence is ill?"
