After some joking, Sun Shi asked about Ling Xiao’s treatment.

Ling Jingshu didn’t hide anything and said it one by one: “…Physician Wei is not sure, there is only a 30% chance of cure. And acupuncture must be performed every five days.”

Receive acupuncture every five days?

Sun Shi frowned subconsciously: “The Imperial Physician Wei has to be on duty in the palace, so he may not have time to leave the palace.”

Ling Jingshu nodded: “Yes, but Imperial Physician Wei proposed a compromise. Every five days he goes to the Crown Prince’s Mansion once to diagnose Ping’an Pulse for His Highness. I can take Ah Xiao to the Crown Prince’s Mansion and wait there. After Doctor Wei diagnoses His Highness the Prince’s pulse, he will take some time to give Ah Xiao acupuncture. It won’t take long, and so won’t delay Doctor Wei’s return to the palace.”

This was a good idea.

However, they must first go to the Crown Prince’s place to ask for this grace.

There was a bit of embarrassment on Sun Shi’s face: “Ah Shu, this matter is not difficult to say, but it is not simple either. Normally, our Ling family doesn’t have much contact with the Prince’s Mansion. To suddenly come to beg for mercy like this, I’m afraid that the Crown Princess may not be willing to agree…”

Uncle Ling actively hopes to have more contacts, but unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity.

“That’s not necessarily the case.”

Ling Ji took over the conversation with a smile: “All we ask for is a guest room that can accommodate us, and we will leave after Dr. Wei performs the acupuncture. For the Crown Prince’s Mansion, it is just a simple task. The Crown Princess is kind-hearted. She is kind and should not refuse.”

Jiang Shi also smiled and said: “My daughter-in-law will accompany Ah Shu to the Prince’s Mansion tomorrow to ask for an audience with the Crown Princess.”

Sun Shi nodded first, and then quickly said: “I’m afraid it won’t be possible for just the two of you to go. Okay, I’ll take you with me tomorrow!”

It would be safer for her as an elder to take part in such matters, so as not to be disrespectful.

In fact, Ling Jingshu had the same plan, but she just couldn’t open her mouth.

It would be best for Sun Shi to take the initiative now.

“It’s all thanks to my dà bómǔ.” Ling Jingshu stood up and solemnly blessed her.

Sun Shi chuckled reproachfully, “You, this girl, why do you bother with so many formalities within the family?” After a pause, she added, “Going to the Prince’s Mansion is not a small matter. I’ll discuss it carefully with your dàbó when he comes back tonight.”

…

Everyone had lunch together and went back to their houses to rest.

Ling Jingyan felt very regretful that she could not follow him out of the house. Shamelessly, she followed Ling Jingshu to her house and pestered Ling Jingshu to tell her the story of her trip in detail.

With Ling Jingyan’s temperament, if she didn’t satisfy her curiosity, she would never let herself be clean today.

Ling Jingshu had to waste a lot of time and start talking from the moment the carriage arrived at the Huichun Hall (at Ling Jingyan’s request, everything was detailed). She said everything until Dr. Wei finished giving Ling Xiao acupuncture and they left Huichun Hall.

Ling Jingyan was filled with indignation, even more excited than Ling Jingshu.

“That Fourth Miss Liu is really ridiculous. She ran all this way and said she was just trying to treat a servant. Humph! Did you think that everyone else is a fool? She just wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Dr Wei! And she deliberately tried to provoke you, bah! If I had been there at that time, I would have definitely replied to her. Is her servant her lover? Why are you so worried?”

Ling Jingshu: “…”

“And that Fúmǐn jùnzhǔ. She uses her power to bully others. Beating someone up when you don’t speak well of them is really abominable and despicable! If I had been there at that time…forget it, I couldn’t hit back and slap a jùnzhǔ in the face. It’s better to stay as far away from such people as possible.”

Ling Jingshu: “…”

Ling Jingyan continued to ask: “By the way, what happened next?”

Ling Jingshu composed herself and replied: “After Ah Xiao came out, Jùnzhǔ also entered the inner hall. It seemed that she was sick and requested medical treatment from Imperial Physician Wei.

“The drunkard’s intention is not to drink. Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart!” ^[1]A Chinese idiom involving and inspired by Sima Zhao states that “Everyone on the street knows what’s in Sima Zhao’s mind” (司馬昭之心, 路人皆知), meaning that a … Continue reading Ling Jingyan curled her lips and said, “How can a pampered jùnzhǔ like her be sick? She was obviously pretending to be sick to see Dr. Wei. Dr. Wei’s medical skills are so good, that he must be able to tell at a glance. Tell me, how did the Imperial Physician Wei send her out?”

Ling Jingshu thought of the situation at that time and raised the corners of her lips slightly: “I don’t know the specific situation. However, after Fúmǐn jùnzhǔ came out, she lost her temper and slapped her personal maid. She also asked the maid to get medicine!”

Obviously, she was frustrated by Dr Wei, so she took it out on the maid next to her!

Ling Jingyan clapped her hands in joy and laughed: “Okay, okay, let her be mad, she deserves this end. It’s great that Imperial Physician Wei is not fascinated by women.

Then she winked and smiled and said, “Ah Shu, what was Dr. Wei’s reaction when he saw you?”

Ling Jingshu put on an indifferent expression, without even moving her eyebrows: “That’s the reaction.”

Ling Jingyan: “…”

Ling Jingyan opened her eyes wide and blurted out: “No response? How can this be!”

How can any man be unmoved when seeing a beauty like Ah Shu?

Even the proud and cold-hearted Imperial Grandson took another look at Ling Jingshu when he first met her! Not to mention the elegant and elegant Prince Yan. …..

When she thought of King Yan, Ling Jingyan’s excited mood suddenly calmed down a bit.

Speaking of this, Ling Jingshu actually felt a little bit subtle in her heart.

She was always bored by being stared at or paid too much attention by men. Meeting such a person who didn’t look at her, she felt a little inexplicably awkward…

To be honest, her vanity was hurt.

Ling Jingshu shrugged her shoulders, pretending to be calm, and smiled: “The Imperial Physician Wei stays in the palace all year round. In the palace, there are beauties of all kinds. He is used to seeing them, and it was normal for his heart to feel calm.”

Ling Jingyan still felt that something was not normal, and she guessed whimsically: “Is Imperial Doctor Wei a woman disguised as a man? She has been hiding in Taiyuan Hospital for many years, not daring to let people notice her identity as a woman, so she has never been close to women…”

Ling Jingshu burst into laughter and said, “Yan tángjiě, please stop joking! Do you think everyone is blind?”

Imperial Doctor Wei was taller than ordinary men. Although his face was handsome, it was completely different from the beauty of a woman. You could tell he was a man at a glance, how could he be a woman!

Ling Jingyan also smiled coquettishly: “I am just making a casual statement, it can’t be taken seriously. After thinking for a while, she said decisively: “However, Imperial Physician Wei must have some secrets.”

“Think about it, he is already in his twenties. Other men at this age are already the fathers of several children. But he never got married. He is unmoved by so many women who admire him, and he is not moved when he sees a beauty like you. Either he has a hidden physical illness, or he has an ulterior motive!”

…It was rare for Ling Jingyan to say such reasonable words!

However, it had nothing to do with them whether Dr. Wei was willing to get married. Why were they arguing so fiercely?
