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 heavier. Please walk more slowly, Your Highness. I will hold the umbrella for Your Highness…”

“No need!”

The Imperial Grandson said with a sullen face, interrupting the chamberlain: “Step back first!”

The chamberlain was stunned: “Your Highness, it’s still raining, and I have to hold an umbrella for you…”

“Step back!” The Imperial Grandson’s voice was slightly higher, and a clear trace of sullenness emerged.

The chamberlain was shocked and did not dare to say anymore. 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. You can step back first!”

With that, he took the umbrella from the chamberlain’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 Imperial Grandson’s profile.

The emperor’s grandson still pursed his thin lips, with no unnecessary expression on his face.

Only those who were familiar with his temper could see that his mood at this time was really not very good.

The Imperial Grandson said nothing and kept walking forward.

Wang Tong didn’t dare to say anything to comfort him. He just raised his arms, held an umbrella, and followed the Imperial Grandson closely. Seeing that they were almost reaching the gate, with the vermilion gate already in sight, the Imperial Grandson suddenly stopped.

Wang Tong was worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. His reaction was quick and sensitive. He stopped almost immediately: “Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Why did he suddenly stop again?

The Imperial Grandson did not turn around, but seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Wang Tong: “I have good intentions, why doesn’t she appreciate it?”

The “her” who refused to appreciate it was, of course, Ninth Miss Ling.

Wang Tong carefully weighed his words: “It is normal for women to have delicate and changeable minds. Perhaps it is because Ninth Miss Ling 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, and her life hung on a thread. She didn’t panic either. Her expression didn’t change even as he fired several arrows, but waited for the right moment and killed the bandit with one blow!

It was normal for such a courageous and stubborn girl to not want to accept his kindness again and again!

The Imperial Grandson figured this out, and his expression finally softened a lot.

Wang Tong saw the Imperial Grandson’s face brighten a little. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: “Master Ling’s eye disease cannot be cured in a day. From now on, the siblings will visit every few days, and there will be many opportunities to meet. Your Highness, there is no need to rush. …”

“When did I say I want to see her? And when did I get so anxious?” The Imperial Grandson snorted and interrupted Wang Tong.

Wang Tong took over the conversation calmly: “Yes, yes, this subordinate is too talkative. Your Highness accidentally passed by the study room today. That’s why he met the Ling family siblings.”

The Imperial Grandson said: “…”

The Imperial Grandson’s face was tinged with a hint of suspicion, but it quickly returned to normal. He said lightly, “Never mind, I couldn’t be bothered to argue with a young lady. Father’s health is more important. I’ll just go to the study and wait, and listen to what the imperial physician has to say.”

Wang Tong: “…”

So, you walked out angrily for a while, but now you have calmed down and 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.

…

Doctor Wei carefully checked the Crown Prince’s pulse and asked in detail about his recent daily life.

The servants around the Crown Prince answered one by one. After careful consideration, Imperial Physician Wei re-prescribed the health-preserving medicine and gave it to the chamberlain beside him: “Stop the original decoction for the time being and replace it with this one. Drink it for a few days and then let’s see.”

The chamberlain took the prescription with both hands respectfully. Then he put the prescription away carefully.

The Crown Prince was in good spirits today and said with a smile: “Thank you, Dr. Wei.”

Dr. Wei smiled and said: “It is a blessing for me to be able to diagnose the pulse and nurse the body of His Highness the Crown Prince.”

He was the emperor’s full-time doctor. In the past two years, he had been the emperor’s full-time doctor. He also diagnosed his pulse and prescribed medicine for His Royal Highness. Many imperial doctors were full of envy and jealousy regarding that. Fortunately, he had excellent medical skills, a good reputation, and a strong background. All the imperial doctors were secretly jealous, but no one dared to trip him up openly.

The prince asked again: “How is my father’s health lately?”

Due to his weak health requiring rest, the Crown Prince only attended the major court meetings on the first and fifteenth of each month. He rarely attended the small court meetings for daily affairs, mostly being represented by the Imperial Grandson to enter the palace. As a result, the opportunities for the Crown Prince to meet the Emperor were not many.

Imperial Physician Wei was in the palace and could see the Emperor every day.

“Your Majesty, he occasionally felt cold a few days ago. After drinking the decoction for a few days, he is almost healed.” Imperial Physician Wei smiled and replied, “Your Highness, don’t worry.”

Just as he was talking, a chamberlain came to report: “Your Highness, the Imperial Grandson has arrived.”

…….Dr. Wei raised his eyebrows, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

He had lost face because of Ninth Miss Ling in front of him before, but with the pride of being the grandson of the Emperor, he was still willing to show up… How interesting!

The Imperial Grandson quickly stepped in. He first greeted the Crown Prince and then looked at Imperial Physician Wei: “Physician Wei, you checked my father’s pulse today. How is his pulse?”

After pondering for a moment, the imperial physician said, “On the day of the incident, His Highness the Crown Prince suffered a severe injury, greatly depleting his vitality. He has been resting diligently since then, and there are no major issues now. However, excessive tonics should be avoided to prevent further imbalance and excessive internal heat.”

“I just made a new prescription and used two herbs with mild properties. The effect will be slower, but it will not hurt the body. “

Not fast, not slow, and clear.

Although the words were gentle, they still had a strange and unquestionable majesty.

The Imperial Grandson breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips. “I appreciate the concern, Imperial Physician Wei.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “I know that Imperial Physician Wei resides in the palace and lacks neither gold nor jade. When I traveled out of the capital recently, I managed to acquire some rare medicinal herbs. Please accept them, Imperial Physician Wei.”

Imperial Physician Wei did not refuse and accepted the reward.

A reward of gold and silver was both vulgar and demeaning. The Imperial 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 was certainly in line with his wishes.

Then, Imperial Physician Wei bowed and took his leave, saying, “Ling Gongzi is still waiting for me to administer acupuncture and treatment. I will take my leave now.”

The Imperial Grandson suddenly asked: “Is there any hope that Ling Gongzi’s eye disease can be cured?”

Imperial Physician Wei responded calmly: “Not too sure, only 30%.”

Only 30%?

The Imperial 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 couldn’t be cured, Ling Jingshu would definitely be very sad!
