Chapter 404: Everyone Knows
After a moment, "Schisandra" let go of Wu Jili's hand, looked solemn, glanced at Wu Shaoming with a little embarrassment, stroked his beard, and began to talk incessantly about the words he had prepared long ago.
"The prince's pulse is getting more and more strange. However, my medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. Although I dare not make a conclusion whether it can be cured, I can still give it a try."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Wu brothers showed joy on their faces.
Wu Shaoming hurriedly bowed and thanked him, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Wuweizi."
Wuweizi waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet. I still need to make some preparations. Just like last time, I will prescribe a bathing recipe to dredge the meridians. I will observe for a night and give a definitive conclusion tomorrow."
"Of course, of course, please follow me." After saying that, Wu Shaoming made a gesture of invitation.
The eunuch who had been waiting beside him also bowed slightly and said to Wuweizi respectfully, "Master Wuweizi, I will go back to the prince first and come to pick you up tomorrow."
"Schisandra" said "hmm" in a nonchalant tone.
Then, the three of them came out one after another.
Pei Yi was silent for a long time, staring at the backs of the three people walking away, and praised meaningfully: "You are worthy of being the master of Medicine Valley. You can even cure difficult and complicated diseases like brain damage."
As he said this, he turned to look at "Wangxi" and caught the man's fleeting sarcasm.
At this time, Wu Haoran, who was in unbearable pain, also begged, "Wangxi, quickly carry my brother to the couch."
Upon hearing this, "Wangxi" hurried forward and carried Wu Jili to the couch.
Wu Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the young man who had been accompanying him with concern, "Junior Brother Pei, my father and second brother don't know who you are yet. They only think you are a medical attendant who delivers medicine. You'd better go back first. I'm afraid..."
Pei Yi looked at him sideways, and said with a half-smile, "Brother Wu, you are not naive enough to think that what happened here can be hidden from the emperor. With shadow guards running around everywhere, there are no secrets anywhere."
Wu Haoran was speechless for a moment.
The young man patted the man's shoulder soothingly and continued, "Don't be afraid, Senior Brother. I came here because His Majesty instructed me to see if Prince Wu can be cured. As you know, my father is Pei Dafu."
Wu Haoran glanced at the beam and asked tentatively, "Junior Brother Pei, I'm afraid you brought my shadow guard here."
Pei Yi curled his eyes without commenting, but said nothing.
The man looked at the boy's face, which was deliberately covered, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he shook his head helplessly. He knew that he could not persuade him at all, so he said, "Then Junior Brother Pei, please follow me back to the room first."
Then, Wu Haoran fumbled around for a while and finally took out a silver note. He handed it to "Wangxi" and said, "Wangxi, keep an eye on it and tell me what happened here tomorrow morning."
Wang Xi lowered his eyes to look at the hundred taels on the banknote, raised his eyebrows, and showed a flattering smile that was just right. "Don't worry, Third Young Master."
Pei Yi saw this scene, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he teased, "Although I know that Senior Brother Wu is the son of the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, every time you spend money like water, it always makes me amazed."
Wu Haoran blushed and explained awkwardly, "My mother begged my father to marry me. She had a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion. She could only give me more money to make my life better. In fact, this money is nothing compared to the money my mother earns."
The young man nodded in understanding, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across "Wangxi's" face, and as expected, he caught a hint of joy.
Wu Haoran took one last look at his elder brother lying on the couch, then reluctantly left with the young man.
The house returned to calm, with only "Wangxi" standing in the house with his eyes flickering slightly.
Soon, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He walked to Wu Jili's side, put his fingers on his neck and took his pulse.
But in a moment, he withdrew his hand and murmured in a low voice, "So it's this poison."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the house.
The people who had just gone out came back one after another. "Wangxi" retreated to the side with lowered eyebrows, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, Pei Yi, who was in Wu Haoran's house, slowly released his mental power and began to "eat melons" on the spot.
Inside the Imperial Palace
Thanks to her uncle's deliberate favoritism, little Yining won a great victory in the big character PK with the naughty kid.
However, she did not feel any joy because of this, but had to helplessly endure the "hateful" looks from the naughty child from time to time.
Not only that, she also had to take on the task of supervising the naughty child to practice calligraphy, and she could not move until the emperor was satisfied.
Little Yining raised her eyes to glance at the gradually darkening sky outside, then glanced at the emperor who was reading with a hint of resentment, and finally stared at Sheng Hongtong in front of her with extreme boredom.
Sheng Hongtong: ...
The naughty kid had been holding a lot of anger in his heart for a long time, and when the kid's mind wandered again, he finally couldn't help but throw away the pen in his hand, and the ink splashed onto the kid's face.
Xiao Yining: ...
The kid quickly glanced at the emperor and quickly wiped the ink-stained area with his hand.
Sheng Jingchen heard the noise, without raising his eyebrows, and reminded in a cold voice, "Azhu, continue practicing."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the naughty child immediately stood up, pointed at little Yining, and complained, "Father, Lin Yining is playing with ink."
Sheng Jingchen's hand that was turning the pages of the book suddenly paused, and he finally moved his gaze from the solitary copy to the little kid's face.
Little Yining's face was already covered with a large area of ink. At this moment, she was still using her chubby little hands to spread it evenly.
Sheng Jingchen: ...
Pei Dafu cried out in surprise, "Oh my, little miss, stop rubbing it. If you do, you won't be able to see anyone."
The kid was quite calm and replied, "Grandpa Pei, I still have my eyes and can see people."
Pei Dafu: There is something wrong with what you said.
Sheng Jingchen took a look at the little kid's clothes. The ink marks on them looked like blooming black plum blossoms. What was there to not understand?
He glanced at Er'er unhappily, then waved to the little kid, "Qingjie, come here, let your uncle clean your face."
Xiao Yining: ...
This script is wrong. Shouldn't uncle send her back to her mother?
How could she bear the honor of having the emperor wash her face?
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and everyone in the hall was surprised.
In just a moment, Pei Dafu reacted and hurried out to bring in water.
Sheng Hongtong's face flushed red with disbelief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a masked figure suddenly appear behind his father like a ghost without any warning.
He was startled by the sudden figure, but quickly regained his composure and stared at the mysterious man vigilantly.
Sheng Jingchen glanced at Er'er and asked in a deep voice, "Ashi, how is the situation at Wu'an Marquis' place?"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu'an is still kept in the dark and doesn't know that the valley master brought by Prince Yu is an impostor. He is now asking him to treat his son." The masked man replied respectfully.
Sheng Jingchen nodded slightly, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Keep a close eye on Xiang Sizi. If he harms any official, bring him to me."
