Chapter 905: Have to Sue
Lanterns, as bright as stars, cast light and shadows, embellishing the night, soothing all the noise and adding a touch of tenderness.
The moonlight is like silk, blurring Zhuang Shao's handsome face, exuding a sense of mystery, grace and calmness.
The silver gauze was thin, pure and clear. Leng Man was in a trance, recalling the scenes of chasing and playing in her childhood.
She was confused and asked herself in her heart.
The person in front of me is obviously Lord Jingshan, but why do I think of Shao'er?
Perhaps, I imagined when I was young, when Shao'er grew up, he would have the demeanor of Duke Jingshan.
Seeing her dull eyes and no reaction, Zhuang Shao repeated his words.
"I said, I am willing to marry you."
Leng Man sneered.
"Ah."
She did not respond, pretending not to hear, and pulled her daughter to bow together.
"Respectfully wish you the best, Lord Fang."
Zhuang Shao took a few steps forward and helped them stand up.
"Please get up quickly."
Leng Man was indifferent. She withdrew her hand and kept a distance from him.
"Why is Lord Jingshan here?"
"Are you following me?"
Zhuang Shao put down the lantern, sat on the stone bench, and gestured to invite him to sit down.
"No."
"I have something important to do, so I have to come here."
"I have finished my work and have nothing to do, so I came here to take a walk and relax."
Leng Man did not return to her seat. She looked haggard and dejected, as cold as ice.
"I guess it should be something important that Emperor Jin and Wang Yu ordered, so it's inconvenient to let me know, right?"
"Lord Jingshan is indeed a favored minister, and is highly valued by the prince. I am incompetent, but I admire you."
Seeing that her mother had not taken a seat, Xu Yingyuan stood respectfully where she was, not daring to sit down.
Zhuang Shao smiled kindly.
"It's not the prince's order, it's my own business, I can tell you."
Leng Man had no smile on her face and didn't even look at him.
"I don't want to hear it. Thank you for your kindness, sir."
"We are busy, please excuse me."
Seeing that she was reluctant to sit down, Zhuang Shao also stood up.
"I must tell you about this, or tell Madam Yuan."
“I have to sue.”
Out of love for her daughter, Leng Man became somewhat interested.
"Oh? It's about my daughter?"
"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"
Zhuang Shao reached into his pocket, took out a purse and handed it over.
"Mrs. Kite, please look, what is this?"
Xu Yingyuan took it with both hands, opened it and was greatly surprised.
"Heyin Grass?!"
Leng Man was also surprised.
"Heyin grass?"
"When did you learn to recognize herbs?"
There was a loophole in Ning Jiewei's plan, which caught Xu Yingyuan off guard and she was stunned.
"Ah I……"
Zhuang Shao remained calm in the face of the emergency and used his storytelling to make up for Lady Yuan's words.
"Yesterday, Lord Xiao Tao requested to see Prince Di Jin and asked for a good prescription on how to treat his wife's illness."
"I happened to be in Prince Dijin's mansion. After hearing what he said, I learned that Madam Yuan had back pain."
"Your Majesty wrote down the prescription in one go, but one of the ingredients made Master Tao worried."
"It is the Heyin grass."
"According to the Imperial Physician, Lord Lin, Heyin grass is not commonly seen and is very rare. He usually collects herbs and has only seen it once on Mount Qiong in Hechang County."
"Your Majesty is wise. You replaced Heyin grass with Qiancao. Unfortunately, the efficacy of the medicine has weakened. The disease that could be cured in one or two days will take five or six days to be relieved after the change of medicine."
"I couldn't bear to see Madam Yuan suffer so much, so I asked His Majesty to draw the Heyin grass so that I could identify it when I was picking herbs. Master Xiao Tao also asked His Majesty to draw it with his own brush."
"I think it's the prince's masterpiece. Madam Yuan has seen it, so she recognizes this herb."
Xu Yingyuan quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, the master has shown me the prince's paintings."
"Hechang County is not far from Shangshu County. The master originally wanted to rush to Qiongshan to collect herbs early tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, Lord Fang got there before him and found the good medicine."
"Mother, you don't know that this Heyin grass grows on cliffs and is extremely difficult to collect."
"Going up the mountain to collect herbs, Master Fang will definitely suffer."
Leng Man was not concerned and was unmoved.
"Yuan'er is worrying too much."
"Master Fang, there are guards on the left and right to protect him."
Zhuang Shao understood the meaning of the words and remained calm.
"Miss Leng is right. It was Guard Master Yan who helped me collect the herbs."
Leng Man was sarcastic.
"I'll just say it."
"Why does Lord Fang need to go there in person? Yuan'er is too naive."
Xu Yingyuan was startled and pointed at the back of Jingshan Gong's hand and pointed it out loudly.
"Look, mother, he's hurt!"
"He picked the herbs himself, without anyone else's help!"
Zhuang Shao covered the wound with his sleeve.
"Madam Yuan, you misunderstood. I fell accidentally and got hurt. It has nothing to do with picking herbs."
Xu Yingyuan exaggerated.
"The master said that there is a kind of cold insect that is unique to Qiongshan. It mainly lives on cliffs. This is what it looks like when you get stung."
"Sir, please do not take it lightly. This is a chronic disease. If it is not treated in time, it will endanger your life!"
Leng Man was moved and showed worry.
"Huh? Is it so serious?"
Zhuang Shao was calm and composed.
"I'm fine, thank you Madam Kite for your concern."
"Take a walk and you'll be safe."
Xu Yingyuan's expression was a mixture of sadness, guilt, and urgency.
"How can it be safe?"
"The wound has festered, and the master's life is in danger."
"Mother, let's take him to the doctor."
Leng Man became nervous when she heard this, and without giving it time to think, she agreed immediately.
"it is good."
Zhuang Shao declined.
"I'm really fine, Madam Kite, please rest assured."
Receiving the look from her beloved daughter, Leng Man understood and also gave some advice.
"Sir, please don't take life lightly. I beg you to go to the doctor as soon as possible."
Feeling Man'er's care, Zhuang Shao's mood is extremely sweet.
"OK then."
"Thank you both."
This way, we are closer to the prosperous Hechang County.
The three of them got on the carriage, and Xu Yingyuan ordered the coachman to rush to Shoushan Hall on East Street in Hechang County as quickly as possible.
Leng Man was curious and asked.
"How do you know about the clinic in Hechang County?"
Xu Yingyuan answered with a false answer.
"The master was on a business trip and went to Hechang County. He heard that the doctor at Shoushan Hall on East Street in the county was very skilled in medicine."
"It's getting late now, and it's getting dark. Other clinics may have closed. Shoushan Hall is different. I remember the master said that they work day and night, all day long, and they have doctors and pharmacists on hand."
Leng Man had no doubts.
"Very good."
"Is it far?"
Xu Yingyuan replied.
"Not far."
"Hurry up, we'll be there soon."
Shoushan Hall is a medical clinic under Xinglin Hall and was funded and opened by Yan Yu.
After receiving the oral order from Prince Di Jin, the doctors and pharmacists took their positions, waiting for Lord Fang to arrive.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at Shoushan Hall.
The doctor's exaggeration further confirmed that the cold worm wound Xu Yingyuan mentioned was true.
In fact, Zhuang Shao was not injured at all.
Just as the doctor finished his performance and the three were preparing to leave, Zhuang Shao's injury suddenly flared up.
There was a noise and Zhuang Shao fell to the ground.
Leng Man was shocked, and Xu Yingyuan, the doctor and others were even more frightened.
Upon seeing him, it was indeed the case of a cold worm attack. The doctor then carefully felt his pulse and was shocked to discover that Master Fang was really injured.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Leng Man felt guilty.
Xu Yingyuan was stunned and couldn't react in time.
Several doctors urgently prepared medicine, surrounded Zhuang Shao, and started treatment quickly.
Everyone in Shoushan Hall was in chaos.
