557 He’s Here (4)
This person was the young imperial physician in the palace, Gao Yang.
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin looked suspicious. Although Gao Yang’s medical skills were commendable in the palace, the people who sought treatment in the palace were mostly consorts. Women always liked flashy things. No one could say for certain that it was not necessarily because Gao Yang was good-looking that he was highly praised. Moreover, most people in the world had the same thought about doctors. The older they were, the more outstanding their medical skills were. As for the younger ones, they only knew a little.
Shen Xin did not expect the imperial physician to be Gao Yang, but he could not reject him. If he went to get another imperial physician over, it would probably take a lot of time.
The legendary Imperial Physician Gao was welcomed in and walked to the unconscious Luo Tan to take her pulse.
Everyone looked at him with bright eyes. After a while, Gao Yang shook his head and sighed. “Her breathing is weak, and her pulse is in a mess. The wound is too deep and has hurt her lungs. She also bled a lot. It’s difficult.”
Luo Xueyan immediately shouted, “Another quack. Qiu, go and find another one.”
“Wait!” Gao Yang said unhappily, “I just said that it’s difficult. I didn’t say that it’s incurable. General Shen, what do you mean by inviting me over and then looking for another doctor?”
“Can you really save Cousin Tan?” Shen Qiu took a step forward and asked.
“If the treatment is delayed any longer, she’ll really be incurable,” Gao Yang said.
“Alright.” Shen Xin said, “I believe you. If Imperial Physician Gao can cure Tan, the Shen family will definitely pay you a lot of money!”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “There’s no need for money. It’s my duty to save lives. Miss Luo’s life is at stake. I have to perform acupuncture on her first. Please wait outside.”
Luo Xueyan was still a little hesitant, but Shen Xin had already walked out. He had traveled extensively and knew that some capable people had strange habits. Gao Yang was probably afraid of his medical skills being seen and stolen.
Shen Qiu and Luo Ling followed closely behind Shen Xin. Seeing this, no matter how worried Luo Xueyan was, she could only follow suit.
Only Gao Yang and the unconscious Luo Tan were left in the room. Gao Yang put down his medical box and muttered to himself as he opened it, “What does this have to do with me?”
He took out a cloth bag and opened it. There were dozens of golden needles of different sizes.
Gao Yang said, “It’s fine if you want to please Shen Miao, but now you want to please her family too?” He shook his head and reached out to unbutton Luo Tan’s shirt. He said helplessly, “I don’t want to offend you. If you are angry and want to vent your anger, go to Prince Rui’s mansion and take everything out on the one wearing the mask.”
…
Time passed quickly. Two days were gone in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Imperial Physician Gao had indeed displayed outstanding medical skills. Gao Yang performed acupuncture twice and prescribed some medicine to Luo Tan. Luo Tan’s breathing gradually stabilized, and her pulse was much stronger than before.
Unlike before, Luo Xueyan treated Gao Yang as an esteemed guest. Because she was afraid that Luo Tan’s condition would relapse midway, Luo Xueyan asked Gao Yang to stay in the Shen mansion now so that he could check on Luo Tan every day.
Luo Tan was getting better, but there was still no good news about Shen Miao.
When Emperor Wen Hui found out about this, he was furious. Putting aside his prejudice against Shen Xin, if someone kidnapped the daughter of an official at the territory of the emperor, wouldn’t it show that the public safety was in danger and the people could not live and work in peace? Therefore, he tacitly agreed to Shen Xin’s large-scale search for his daughter.
