Lu Junyuan had not heard that the Imperial Preceptor was ill. Moreover, given the Emperor and Empress Dowager's respect for the Imperial Preceptor, if he were ill, the imperial physicians would immediately come to treat him. Under normal circumstances, there would be no need to invite the divine physician Kang.
Unless the Imperial Preceptor or someone in the Imperial Preceptor's residence suffers from an acute illness that even the imperial physicians cannot cure.
Lu Junyuan whispered a few words in Steward Qiu's ear, and Steward Qiu nodded, "Young master, don't worry, this old servant will take care of it right away."
When Kang Taihe arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, he was led to a room where a seven or eight-year-old child was lying on the bed.
The guard gestured for Kang Taihe to enter, saying, "Dr. Kang, please."
Kang Taihe went to the child's side; the child was already asleep.
He had just touched the child's wrist when the child suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Kang Taihe coldly as if he were an enemy.
The child's cold, hateful gaze startled Kang Taihe.
He had come to treat his child, so he couldn't be intimidated. He tried his best to suppress his anxiety and continued to take the child's pulse.
Just as he was about to stop, the child lying down suddenly reached out and grabbed Kang Taihe's hand tightly, then raised his head and bit down hard on Kang Taihe's wrist.
"ah--!!"
Kang Tai was caught off guard and bitten squarely. The child seemed to have used all his strength to bite, and blood immediately flowed from the child's mouth.
Kang Taihe instinctively threw a punch, which landed on the child's temple.
This punch was delivered with full force, and the opponent, being just a child, was immediately knocked unconscious by Kang Taihe.
Fortunately, Kang Taihe was not a martial artist; otherwise, that punch could have killed the child.
Kang Taihe covered his hand and looked at the unconscious child. Only then did he realize that he was in the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
The fact that the Imperial Advisor would invite him to his residence for the sake of a child suggests that the child must be no ordinary person.
His mind raced, his eyes brightened, and he suppressed his panic, adopting a confident demeanor. Before the guards could ask any questions, he spoke first.
"This child suffers from hysteria and needs to be knocked unconscious before treatment can begin."
The two guards remained expressionless. One of them said, "Then please, Physician Kang," gesturing for him to begin the treatment.
Kang Taihe took out silver needles and performed acupuncture on the child. After a series of procedures, the child slowly woke up.
For a doctor, administering acupuncture to revive a child who has been knocked unconscious is not a difficult task.
Seeing the child slowly wake up, Kang Taihe subconsciously stepped back, quickly returned to the table, picked up a pen, and said, "I will prescribe some medicine for him. He should take it for seven days and he will get better."
After speaking, he quickly wrote down the prescription and handed it to the guard.
"Is the Grand Preceptor at home? Now that I'm here, I should at least pay my respects to him," Kang Taihe said, his tone no longer as composed as before, but carrying a hint of flattery.
The guard took the prescription, glanced at it, and put it away. "The Imperial Preceptor has important matters to attend to and is temporarily unable to receive guests. Physician Kang, this way please."
This is to send Kang Taihe out of the mansion.
Kang Taihe couldn't say anything more, so he could only follow the guards out of the mansion.
After Kang Taihe left the room, a hidden door opened, and Gao Hongyuan and an old man came out.
The guard came over, took out the prescription that Kang Taihe had written earlier, and respectfully handed it to the old man with both hands, saying, "Director Bao."
The Imperial Physician took the prescription and examined it carefully.
"How is it?" Gao Hongyuan asked.
"Your Excellency, this is just a common prescription for treating hysteria. Any doctor in any clinic could prescribe it. I'm sorry, but I really can't see anything special about it."
Gao Hongyuan sneered, "Hysteria?"
This child was specifically chosen by him based on Ji Yanzhuo's case. He had already been treated by Imperial Physician Bao and was not suffering from hysteria at all.
If Kang Taihe's prescription could impress people, perhaps Gao Hongyuan would still believe him.
Now any doctor can prescribe his medicine. Is he really the disciple of the Sage of Medicine?
Gao Hongyuan raised his hand, and another guard brought over several packets of herbs.
