There were more and more empty wine jugs on the table.

King Yan felt dizzy and was trying hard not to fall down. The wine bowl in his hand was already unstable: “Come… drink this one more bowl…”

Doctor Wei’s face had long been blurred, and his voice drifted into his ears: “I have drunk too much. Your Highness has also drunk a lot, you can’t drink anymore. Drunkenness can harm your health…”

King Yan grinned and replied incoherently, “It’s fine for me. I can drink two more pots of wine.” As he spoke, he poured all the wine in the bowl into his mouth.

Then, with a thud, he fell on the table.

Ling Xiao, who had been keeping his ears perked up, was startled and shouted nervously: “Your Highness King Yan, are you okay?”

King did not respond, apparently, he was drunk and unconscious.

Ling Xiao looked anxiously in the direction of Doctor Wei: “Doctor Wei, how are you now?” Could it be that he was also drunk like King Yan and couldn’t get up!

Doctor Wei put down the wine bowl in his hand, glanced at the drunk King Yan, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and replied leisurely: “Don’t worry, Master Ling, I’m not drunk.”

The voice did sound quite sober.

Ling Xiao was relieved then, and said with great admiration: “I never thought that Doctor Wei could drink so much.” If he remembered correctly, King Yan and Doctor Wei drank more than ten pots of wine in total.

King Yan, who had a very good alcohol tolerance, was drunk, but Doctor Wei was very sober. From this comparison, it was obvious that Doctor Wei could drink even more.

Doctor Wei pulled the corners of his lips silently without further explanation.

“Your Highness is already drunk. You should help him back to his bedroom to rest. Remember to ask the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup.” Doctor Wei instructed the maids beside him: “If Your Highness asks about us after he wakes up, just say that we have gone back to our own places. Thank you for your hospitality.”

The palace maids bowed their heads and agreed. Then they helped King Yan go back.

Doctor Wei stood up and walked around the screen with Ling Xiao.

Ling Jingshu and others have also stood up.

Ling Jingshu looked at Doctor Wei subconsciously. He had clear eyes and steady steps, and he was not drunk at all.

He was sober as hell!

Strange! King Yan was drunk, and Doctor Wei drank no less than the King of Yan, so how could he not look drunk at all?

A thought flashed through Ling Jingshu’s mind, and she couldn’t help but whisper, “Doctor Wei, did you take alcohol sobering medicine before drinking?”

What a sharp and intelligent girl!

Doctor Wei’s eyes flashed with approval, but he did not deny it: “Yes. Before the banquet started, I expected that His Royal Highness King Yan would persuade me to drink, so I secretly took a pill to sober me up while His Royal Highness was not paying attention.”

After a pause, he smiled and said, “It’s not quite right to call it a hangover pill. I can’t drink much, and I’m afraid I’ll get drunk and lose my composure at a banquet, so I specially developed a pill. As long as you take it before drinking, you won’t get drunk no matter how much you drink. When you go back, take another pill and you’ll vomit out all the alcohol in your stomach.”

Everyone: “…”

Everyone looked over with admiration. He was indeed a miracle doctor! He actually developed such a miraculous medicine!

“Doctor Wei, you are amazing!” Ling Xiao’s voice was full of excitement: “Can everyone take this pill?”

With this medicine, you will never have to worry about such situations again.

Ling Xiao’s thoughts were almost all written on his face.

Doctor Wei liked this kind, simple, and lovely boy very much, and said with a smile: “I developed this pill specifically for myself, and I have never let anyone else take it, so I don’t know the specific situation. If you like it, it’s okay to give you some.”

Tian Dong on the side was very smart. Without waiting for Doctor Wei’s instructions, he opened the medicine box and took out a white porcelain bottle from it.

“The pills in this porcelain bottle are the hangover remedy.” Doctor Wei said with a smile, “Take the yellow one first, and you will be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Then take the white one, and all the alcohol in your stomach will come out.”

“This pill is harmless to the body, but it can’t be taken frequently. Vomiting alcohol will always damage the stomach.”

Ling Jingshu took the medicine bottle on behalf of Ling Xiao and thanked him with a smile: “Thank you, Doctor Wei.”

“It’s just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.” Doctor Wei smiled faintly.
Their eyes met in the air, and somehow, they both felt inexplicably uncomfortable and quickly looked away.

…

After leaving the gate of King Yan’s Mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Wei did not take the carriage. After saying goodbye to the Ling family, he and Tiandong walked away slowly.

“Please wait a minute, Doctor Wei!” Ling Jingshu hesitated for a moment, but still quickly chased after him.

Doctor Wei paused and turned around: “Miss Ling, what else do you want?”

It seems that this hangover medicine cannot completely resist alcohol. At this moment, Doctor Wei no longer looked calm and composed as usual. His eyes were unusually bright, and he was looking at her steadily.

Such a focused gaze made her heart tremble slightly…

Why was she having wild thoughts again!

Ling Jingshu secretly cursed herself in annoyance, and said calmly, “King Yan’s Mansion is still some distance away from the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Wei just drank so much wine. If he walks back, I’m afraid he won’t be able to control his drunkenness. Let us take you there!”

There was a hint of concern in her clear eyes.

Tian Dong had been with Doctor Wei for many years and was most familiar with his temperament. He smiled and politely declined, “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Ling. This short journey is nothing…”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Ling to give me a ride.” Doctor Wei’s voice suddenly rang out.

Tian Dong: “…”

Tian Dong glanced at Doctor Wei and immediately closed his mouth.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: “Please wait a moment, Doctor Wei, I will ask the carriage to come over right away.” After that, she turned around and went back to the carriage. Soon, the carriage drove over.

The Ling family’s carriage was not as luxurious as King Yan’s carriage, but it was also very spacious.

Doctor Wei led Tiandong into the carriage and sat next to Lingxiao naturally.

Ling Jingshu and Jiang Ling Jingyan sat on the other side.

It was actually a bit awkward for a man and a woman to ride in the same carriage. Although they had met Doctor Wei many times, their interactions were limited to treating Ling Xiao, and they had no other interactions. They didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Ling Jingshu took the initiative to break the silence: “Doctor Wei usually lives in the Imperial Hospital? Or does he have his own residence in the capital?”

Probably because he had drunk some wine, Doctor Wei talked a lot more than usual: “I have been in the Imperial Hospital since I was twelve years old, and it has been exactly twelve years now. I have always lived in the Imperial Hospital and have not bought a house in the capital.”

Ling Jingshu was a little surprised and subconsciously asked, “What about the Wei family’s ancestral home? Hasn’t it been rebuilt?”

As soon as she said this, she secretly regretted it.
