Lu Dacheng returned to the palace and carefully reviewed Fan Zuan's medical skills.
This is truly something I've never heard of or seen before!
Perhaps Fan Zu'an has cured the poison in Li Ting's body, otherwise how could there have been no news of Li Ting's illness for so long?
Lu Dacheng then recorded his observations of the day in detail and presented them to Empress Zhao Yunwan.
Zhao Yunwan then remembered to send someone to investigate Fan Zuan.
According to the information found, Fan Zu'an is from a small, now-extinct country on the border of the Cangxuan Continent. He has no parents or family. Ten years ago, he came to the capital of Nanchen Kingdom, became an apprentice of Ouyang Taohua, and practiced medicine at Jishantang.
He had long been known as a famous doctor in the capital, but he never treated officials, so only ordinary people knew about him.
Fan Zuan had already become sworn brothers with Li Ting and his wife shortly after Li Ting had his beloved daughter, and lived in the Li family home.
After Ouyang Taohua retired and returned to his hometown, Jishantang was bought by the Li family and given to Fan Zuan.
After learning that Fan Zuan and Li Ting had become sworn brothers, Lu Dacheng was even more certain that Fan Zuan had cured Li Ting and Xu Ningyou of their poison without a doubt.
Because of Fan Zu'an's mastery of acupuncture point identification, his superb medical knowledge, and his 100% accuracy in diagnosing illnesses, Lu Dacheng knew that there was probably no illness in the world that could stump Fan Zu'an.
If Fan Zu'an met the emperor, then...?
As if struck by a thought, Lu Dacheng quickly wrote another letter and had it sent out. This letter ended up on Li Ting's desk.
This is a letter from Lu Dacheng to the leader of the Yuexing Sect in the Great Yue Kingdom. The letter lists several prescriptions and requests the sect leader's assistance in verifying the origin of the medical techniques used. Additionally, he requests that manpower be sent as soon as possible.
There was another line of text, seemingly written in special runes, which Li Ting couldn't understand.
Li Ting then showed the letter to Fan Zu'an. Fan Zu'an saw that the prescriptions in the letter were all from patients he had treated that day. He simply said, "Brother, it's alright. Let him ask. There's no such medical technique on the Cangxuan Continent. It's called a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. He wouldn't understand it."
Continuing to look, he also saw that line of small characters. Fan Zuan was puzzled; how could such writing exist here?
“Brother, I’ve seen this line of small characters before, but I can’t tell you what they mean right now, because it’s a kind of coded symbol.”
"Then copy these words down, study them carefully, and let me know when you have any news."
Aunt Cheng carried Li Xingran inside.
Li Xingran blinked her big eyes, looked at Li Ting and then at Fan Zuan.
What are Father and Third Uncle discussing?
“Third brother, Lu Dacheng must already know that the poison in your second sister and me has been cured. He is a very vengeful person and will not tolerate anyone surpassing him in medical skills. Therefore, I am very worried about your safety while practicing medicine.”
"Brother, don't worry. If it's poisoning, no one can poison me. I know a thing or two about the tricks of the martial world. Just send two bodyguards around me, that will be enough. By the way, this is my own unique communication code. I'll draw it out. If I'm in danger in the future, I'll draw these marks on the road. As long as you follow the marks, you'll definitely be able to find me."
Fan Zuan drew a mark on the paper, and Li Ting looked at it and memorized it.
“Brother, I want to study the emperor’s illness. I’ve been watching him from afar and I have some doubts that I want to verify.”
"Father, in the book, the emperor has been bewitched by Zhao Yunwan and now obeys her every word. The emperor's life is in Zhao Yunwan's hands. Once Zhao Yunwan decides the emperor is no longer useful, she will launch a palace coup. Even if we have immense power, we won't be able to defeat her."
[Oh, right, Uncle San can break curses! He's incredibly skilled! He can even heal your leg.]
"That might be a bit difficult, but I'll try my best to create opportunities and wait for the right time!"
[Right now, only Xiao Sheng has access to the Emperor. We could have Xiao Sheng bring Third Uncle into the palace. Leng Yu's disguise skills are amazing.]
However, we must proceed with caution. Zhao Yunwan is undoubtedly on guard now. We must consider things she hasn't thought of before.
"Brother, this matter probably can't be delayed any longer. I see that the emperor looks like he's terminally ill."
Li Ting recalled Wei Xuanji's words.
"Then make preparations. Tonight, the Crown Prince will take you to the palace. You will stay there for a day or two and find an opportunity to meet the Emperor. However, do not alert him. Try to subtly cure the Emperor's illness, is that alright?"
"That's fine, but you'll need to give me enough time."
[Father, that somewhat ugly eunuch beside Xiao Sheng possesses unparalleled martial arts skills; he should be able to protect Third Uncle. However, the imperial city is sealed off by Lu Dacheng and Zhao Yunwan using the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation. Do not wander around the imperial city; just stay by the Crown Prince's side.]
"Third brother, prepare all the necessary medicinal herbs. We'll be going to the palace with the Crown Prince tonight. But I heard that after the opium in the Cold Palace was destroyed last time, people are searched when entering and leaving the palace. How are we going to bring these things in?"
"Brother, you don't need to worry about this. I have a good plan."
Wow, could Third Uncle have some kind of teleportation ability?! I really want to ask Third Uncle, Li Xingran, grow up quickly and learn to talk!
Li Ting: Ruan Ruan is saying things he doesn't understand again.
When it was time for dinner, Li Ruizhang, along with his brothers, Xiao Sheng, and Luo Bingqian, sat down at the table.
Li Ruiyue kept pestering Fan Zu'an to teach her medicine. Fan Zu'an, unable to resist her nagging, taught her a few methods for handling emergencies. The others listened attentively.
Li Ting secretly remembered this as the fastest way to save a life on the battlefield!
