After General Su and his family arrived in Yanyang, in order to ensure Xiao Liu's safety and to prevent some people from having any ulterior motives, making random claims of kinship, and causing unnecessary trouble.
General Su, Su Yunfeng, Su Jiu'an (the eldest son of the Su family), and Su Wenzhou (the third son) took off their fancy clothes and put on the coarse cotton clothes of ordinary people. They arrived at Shili Village without making a sound.
They arrived at the home of the girl suspected of adopting Xiao Liu. The girl did indeed resemble General Su somewhat, and her age matched. However, the blood test failed.
When General Su saw that the blood was incompatible, he staggered and fainted. He was immediately taken to Jirentang by Su Yunfeng and his son.
Su Yunfeng heard rumors that the legendary doctor Cai from Jirentang was a kind-hearted and benevolent physician, so he naturally trusted his medical skills and patiently waited for Cai Fanzhou to return and treat his father.
Seeing Awang walk in, Su Jiu'an hurriedly went to greet him: "How is it? Has Doctor Cai returned?"
Awang glanced at the old man lying on the bed, who was breathing heavily but not deeply, and sighed inwardly.
The most skilled doctor in the entire Jirentang clinic is the second master of the family. Since he is unwilling to lend a hand, the other doctors in the clinic can hardly be relied upon.
But since his master was unwilling to help, what could a lowly servant like him do? He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'm so sorry, but Doctor Cai is unwell today and cannot see the patient for the time being. I will go and fetch some doctors to come back and treat the patient."
Upon hearing this, Su Wenzhou's eyes widened, and his tone became fierce: "What did you say?!"
Su Wenzhou had served in the army for many years, killing countless enemies on the battlefield. He naturally possessed a murderous aura, which he usually restrained. But in this moment of urgency, his murderous aura erupted instantly. Awang felt his scalp tingle, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and his voice even trembled with tears.
"I...I'm so sorry, Dr. Cai has suddenly fallen ill and really...really can't see the patient. The doctors at the clinic...the doctors who were on call will be back soon, and they will see the old man. Or...or you could try another clinic?"
Ah Wang's voice trailed off as he spoke, and he didn't even believe what he was saying.
If Jirentang can't cure the illness in Yanyang, where else can they go for treatment?
Su Wenzhou flew into a rage, grabbed Awang by the collar, and lifted him up: "Say that again! Where is Doctor Cai? Bring him out here right now! Do you know who we are? We are..."
"Wenzhou!" Su Yunfeng shouted sharply, stopping Su Wenzhou from saying what he was about to say.
The Su family intended to travel discreetly from Beijing and did not want to attract the attention of local officials. Moreover, the Su family precepts clearly state that no member of the Su family is allowed to use their power to oppress others.
"Father, what about Grandfather?" Su Wenzhou swallowed the words that were about to come out, threw Awang to the ground, and looked at the old General Su lying on the bed with slightly red eyes.
The Su family usually had a physician, but this time they went out to find Xiao Liu, so everyone traveled light, without even bringing guards, let alone a physician.
Even if they travel as fast as they can to get back to the capital from Yanyang, it will take at least twelve hours, a full day and night. In addition, the weather is cold now, and if they really have to rush back, General Su's body won't be able to withstand it.
Awang felt a little sorry for them and said in a low voice, "Gentlemen... brave warriors, the Regent is currently holding a consultation conference at Juxian Tower. Doctors from Yanyang and the surrounding area will be coming to see patients. Why don't you go there and have a look?"
"The Regent has also come to Yanyang?" This time it was the Su family's turn to be surprised.
When they left the capital, they heard that the Regent had taken the young prince out to seek medical treatment, but they didn't expect him to come to Yanyang as well.
“Let’s go to Juxianlou.” Su Yunfeng no longer hesitated. He had heard that Mu Jingshan, the physician of the Regent’s Palace, was no less skilled than the imperial physicians in the palace.
Su Wenzhou carried General Su on his back and hurried towards Juxianlou.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Juxianlou, they were stopped: "Halt! Who are you?"
