Chapter 65: Diagnosis and tricky condition
At around midnight, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan and the Emperors personal eunuch suddenly arrived at the Xiao Wangfu. So, Xiao Wangfus people who didnt receive any prior noticed got very confused.
Fortunately, Xiao Wangfus people has already been used in receiving the emperors decree so in just half an incense stick. Both them are now kneeling in front of Xiao Tianyao who is currently sitting in his wheelchair near the door of the hall in his courtyard
With Xiao Tianyaos numerous great achievements, he didnt even kneel in front of the Emperors decree. However, despite all those achievements, he became like this. So, they dont really felt jealous of him whenever they see him.
And as for Lin Chujiu who is now being called Princess Xiao?
Sick people should no longer be awake around midnight, so only Xiao Tianyao received and heard the Emperors decree when the eunuch had read it.
The content of the imperial decree is very simple. First, the Emperor ensure that they will catch the assassin as soon as possible to comfort Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. And then, the Emperor gave them a lot of valuable medicinal herb to help them nourish their body. The Emperor also state that Xiao Tianyao should take this opportunity to focus nourishing his body and doesnt need to worry about the court.
The Emperor did not only state his concern and support with his decree but also tried to show more of his grace to Xiao Tianyao by sending his private imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Princess Xiaos condition.
After reading the emperors decree, the Emperors personal eunuch respectfully handed the decree to Xiao Tianyaos hand and pointed out Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan to the corner while saying: Wangye, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan has come to help and save Princess Xiao. So, this slave wonder if he could now go and see Wangfei?
Send someone to see if Wangfei is still awake. Xiao Tianyao didnt even give the emperors eunuch a face and just simply ordered Housekeeper Cao.
This slave will obey immediately. Housekeeper Cao immediately answered. However, he let someone else go to Lin Chujius courtyard. And as for the Emperors eunuch and Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan?
Xiao Tianyao only sits there motionless and didnt even greet them. So naturally, Xiao Wangfus people wouldnt do something. So they can only stand outside Prince Xiaos private hall where the wind keeps blowing.
Fortunately, the summer season is still around the corner so the wind is not extremely cold. If not, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuans worries about getting sick are not impossible even if they only stand outside for a couple of minutes.
Xiao Wangfu is the second largest mansion in the Imperial city and its only a bit smaller than the Imperial Palace. But because Lin Chujiu lives in the most secluded part of the mansion, the servant who was ordered to look for her needs to walk at least two-quarter of an hour (30 minutes) before he could arrive in her courtyard and another two-quarter of an hour before he could report back.
So within this two-quarter of an hour, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan, the Emperors personal eunuch and a few of their underlings were still waiting outside. And it seems their usual small eyes gets bigger and bigger with unknown meaning.
Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan never felt time run this slow in his entire life. Honestly, two-quarter of an hour is really short, but inside the Xiao Wangfu, it almost felt like two years.
Because of this, his breathing gradually turns fast and unstable. Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan is a doctor, so he knows his condition is not normal, but because he is powerless he cannot do anything about it.
Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan almost want to fell on his knees. However, the servant who went to Lin Chujiu suddenly arrives and reported: Wangye, Wangfei is still awake.
Lets go. Xiao Tianyao simply said without any trace of embarrassment. As if the people in front of him are only ordinary servants. When Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan and the Emperors personal eunuch heard the report, they felt relieved so they started walking. But
Xiao Tianyao leads the way.
Of course, Housekeeper Cao was pushing his wheelchair so he is just sitting comfortably. Its just, they didnt expect and couldnt change the fact that Xiao Tianyao is going with them towards Lin Chujius courtyard.
Didnt you say that Prince Xiao doesnt like Princess Xiao? Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan look at the Emperors personal eunuch to ask. They are both the Emperors confidant so they shared some information between them.
However, the Emperors personal eunuch only look at him innocently because he really doesnt know what is going on.
Xiao Tianyao is the person that is sitting in the wheelchair so Housekeeper Cao cannot push too fast. While all the people behind him, naturally wouldnt walk ahead. So
All of them could only walk slowly. If its during the day, they might be able to enjoy the scenery inside the Xiao Wangfu. But because it was in the middle of the night, the journey is extremely boring. What is there to see anyway if its dark?
So, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan has become speechless.
Hes already been played by Prince Xiao a couple of times now. So, he believes that soon hell get accustomed with his tricks. And when that time comes, he wouldnt be shocked with Prince Xiaos behavior anymore and he can remain calm.
Xiao Tianyao was leading the way, so they spent twice as much as the usual time before they arrived at Lin Chujius courtyard. On the other hand, Lin Chujiu is already asleep around this time. So, she was very drowsy and her head almost fell slowly on the side and hit the candles glowing light. At that moment, she looks very
Beautiful!
Xiao Tianyao hold the side of his handrail tightly and couldnt help but ask himself: How could you dare to think such a nice word to describe her?
While Xiao Tianyao is still thinking, Lin Chujiu heard a sudden noise so she stands up and tried greeting him with her tired sounded voice: Wangfei pays her respect to Wangye. May Wangye lives a thousand more times. Lin Chujius voice sounds as sticky as wax and sounded like a spoiled a brat.
So, Xiao Tianyao looked up and saw the tears in her eyes due to yawning. At that moment, Xiao Tianyao unconsciously curves his lips with a smile and said: Benwang excuses your manner. His voice sounds peaceful and not the usual cold tone. So, Lin Chujiu didnt notice the change.
After greeting, Lin Chujiu just sat back. Then, Housekeeper Cao introduces the Emperors personal eunuch and Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan to her. After seeing Lin Chujiu, they pay their respect by saying: This servant greets Wangfei and wishes Wangfei to live for a thousand and thousand years more.
You may get up. Lin Chujiu simply said while biting hard her lips to prevent herself from yawning.
Its impossible anyway to get sober immediately when you suddenly got awaken in the middle of the night.
Thank you, Wangfei. When the two of them got up, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan approach Lin Chujiu and said: Wangfei, this servant was ordered by the Emperor to see and check Wangfeis condition.
Youre Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan? Lin Chujiu look at Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan and looked at Xiao Tianyao to confirm. However, she just saw Xiao Tianyaos emotionless face, so she realized that he wouldnt say anything. Then, she just obediently put out her hand and said: Imperial Doctor Qin, will you please
Doctor Wu can diagnose her sickness, so definitely he could also diagnosed it. And if not, it would really be strange.
So, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan bent forward and carefully check Lin Chujius pulse. After two stick of incense
Quietly passed by, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan havent withdrawn his hand to Lin Chujius pulse. And the more he tried to make his diagnosis, the more his eyebrows knit tightly and frown. But, his face got more and more look dignified. However, the serious look on his face seems wanted to say that Lin Chujiu had acquired an incurable disease and will about to die.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu already know the result so they are not feeling nervous. But, Housekeeper Cao and the other servant couldnt help but look at Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan so serious. They felt afraid that Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan might suddenly open his mouth and say something that they couldnt accept.
After a long hour of diagnosis, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan finally pulled out his hand to Lin Chujius left wrist carefully. Then, gradually restored his usual dignified facial expression before saying
Wangye, Wangfei After Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan recover his hand. He could only say in front of Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu the words: Wangfeis body is very frail, so this servant will give her a prescription.
He dared to diagnosed her condition for a long time, but he doesnt dare to say the result. But it seems Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu have a tacit understanding, so the two of them didnt speak.
However, the Emperors personal eunuch and Housekeeper Caos face turn dark. And they both wonder: Is Wangfei dying? Or shes just pretending to be sick?
