Luoyang Brocade Chapter 120: Awkward
The rain was pouring down. Not only did it not stop, it actually became heavier than before.
The chamberlain caught up to him, opened his umbrella, and said diligently: "The rain is getting harder and harder. Please walk more slowly, Your Highness. I will hold the umbrella for Your Highness..."
"No need!"
The emperor's grandson interrupted the chamberlain with a sullen face: "Step back first!"
The chamberlain was stunned: "Your Highness, it's still raining, so I have to hold an umbrella for you..."
"Stand back!" The emperor's grandson's voice rose slightly, revealing a trace of sullenness.
The chamberlain was frightened and did not dare to say any more. Just as he was about to put away his umbrella, Wang Tong, the commander of the guards beside him, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Okay, give me the umbrella, and you should step back first!"
As he spoke, he took the umbrella from the waiter's hand.
The chamberlain was relieved and bowed back.
Wang Tong held the umbrella steadily, and the raindrops fell on the surface of the umbrella, and then dripped along the edge of the umbrella. Looking from Wang Tong's perspective, he could only see half of the emperor's grandson's profile.
The emperor's grandson still pursed his thin lips, with no unnecessary expression on his face.
Only those who are familiar with his temper can see that his mood at this time is not very good.
The emperor's grandson said nothing and kept walking forward.
Wang Tong didn't dare to say anything to comfort him. He just raised his arms and held an umbrella, and followed the emperor's grandson closely. Seeing that they were almost reaching the gate, with the vermilion gate already in sight, the Emperor Taisun suddenly stopped.
Wang Tong is worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. He reacts quickly and sensitively. He stopped almost immediately: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Why did it suddenly stop again?
The emperor's grandson did not turn around. He seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Wang Tong: "This king has good intentions, why doesn't she appreciate it?"
The "she" who refuses to appreciate is of course Miss Ling Jiu.
Wang Tong carefully weighed his words: "It is common sense that women's minds are delicate and changeable. Perhaps it is because Miss Lingjiu has a strong self-esteem and does not want to always accept His Highness's kindness. Your Highness does not need to take it to heart."
Yes!
When they first met, she was held hostage by the gangsters, with the bright tip of the knife pressed against her back. Her life was hanging by a thread, but she didn't panic. His expression didn't change even as he fired several arrows, and he spotted the right moment and killed the gangster with one blow!
Such a brave and stubborn girl. It is common sense not to want to accept his kindness again and again!
The Emperor Taisun figured this out. His expression finally softened a lot.
Wang Tong felt relieved when he saw the emperor's grandson's face softening slightly, and whispered: "Master Ling's eye disease cannot be cured in one day. From now on, the siblings will visit us every few days. We will meet each other. There are plenty of opportunities. Your Highness doesn’t have to rush..."
"Since when did I want to see her? When did I get too anxious?" The emperor's grandson snorted and interrupted Wang Tong.
Wang Tong took over the conversation calmly: "Yes, yes, this subordinate is too talkative. Your Highness met the Ling brothers and sisters only when he passed by the study room by chance today."
The emperor’s grandson: “…”
A suspicious dark red flashed across the face of the emperor's grandson. He quickly returned to normal and said calmly: "That's all. I am too lazy to vent my anger with a girl. My father's health is urgent, so I'd better go to the study and wait for a while to hear what Dr. Wei has to say."
Wang Tong: "..."
So, walk away angrily. Now that you are relieved, do you want to go back?
Your Highness, Your Highness, you have such an awkward temper. Do you know that it’s hard to please a girl’s family if you talk duplicity all day long?
Of course. Wang Tong only dared to complain silently in his heart, and did not dare to say another word. He agreed with a smile, turned around, and continued to hold the umbrella.
……
Physician Wei carefully checked the prince's pulse and asked in detail about his recent daily life.
The servants around the prince answered one by one.
After careful consideration, Imperial Physician Wei re-prescribed the health-preserving medicine and gave it to the waiter: "Stop the original decoction for the time being and replace it with this one. Drink it for a few days and see."
The waiter took the prescription with both hands respectfully and put it away carefully.
The prince was in good spirits today and said with a smile, "Thank you, the imperial doctor."
The Imperial Physician Wei smiled and said: "It is a blessing for me to be able to diagnose His Majesty the Crown Prince's pulse and take care of his body."
He is the emperor's full-time physician. In the past two years, he has diagnosed the prince's pulse and prescribed medicine. I don't know how many imperial doctors he aroused the envy and jealousy of. Fortunately, he had a good reputation for his superb medical skills and a strong backing. All the imperial doctors secretly resented him, but no one dared to hinder him openly.
The prince asked again: "How is your father's health lately?"
Because he is weak and needs to rest, the prince only attends the court meeting on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Very few people attended the small court meetings where political affairs were dealt with every day, and most of them were entered into the palace by the emperor's grandson. Therefore, there were not many opportunities for the prince and the emperor to meet.
Physician Wei was in the palace and could see the emperor every day.
"Your Majesty occasionally felt cold a few days ago. After drinking the decoction for a few days, he is almost healed." Imperial Physician Wei replied with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry."
While he was talking, a chamberlain came to report: "His Royal Highness is here."
... Doctor Wei raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
I had lost face because of Miss Ling Jiu in front of him before, but with the pride of the grandson of the emperor, he was still willing to show up... How interesting!
The emperor's grandson quickly stepped in. He first greeted the prince and then looked at Imperial Physician Wei: "Physician Wei, you are diagnosing my father's pulse today. How is his pulse?"
The Imperial Physician Wei pondered for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured that day, and his body was greatly damaged. Now he has been taking care of himself quietly, and there is no serious problem. However, it is not advisable to take too much supplement, so as to avoid insufficient replenishment and deficiency fire. Exuberant."
"I just wrote a new prescription, using two herbs with mild medicinal properties. The effect will be slower, but it will not harm the body."
Not too fast, not too slow, and very clear.
Although his words were gentle, there was a strange and unquestionable majesty about him.
The emperor's grandson breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I'm sorry for you, the imperial doctor."
After a pause, he said: "I know that Imperial Physician Wei lives in the palace and has no shortage of gold, silver and jade articles. When I left Beijing a few days ago~IndoMTL.com~ I bought some rare medicinal materials. Please also ask Wei The imperial doctor smiled and accepted it."
The Imperial Physician Wei did not refuse and accepted the reward.
Bounty silver is both vulgar and expensive. The emperor's grandson said that since it was a rare medicinal material, how much money it was worth was second, and more importantly, it was very difficult to find.
Such a reward is what he wants.
Then, Imperial Physician Wei resigned again: "Young Master Ling is still waiting for Wei Chen to perform acupuncture treatment, so Wei Chen will retire now."
The emperor's grandson suddenly asked: "Is there any hope of curing Mr. Ling's eye disease?"
Physician Wei responded calmly: "I'm not too sure, only 30%."
Only 30%?
The emperor's grandson couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "What if it can't be cured?"
Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao have a deep love for each other. If Ling Xiao’s eye disease cannot be cured, Ling Jingshu will definitely be very sad! (To be continued.)
