However, Han Changran saw his son hiding behind the servant at a glance, and naturally thought that Li Zian was the reinforcement invited by his son.
On the one hand, he was pleased that his son had a good relationship with the prince in private, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but think about it. Now that he owed Li Zian more and more favors, he had to think hard about how to repay it.
Qian Poxin joked: "I didn't expect that the prince would take people so seriously!"
Li Zian didn't answer his words, and instead smiled slightly and said, "I was supposed to go out with her, but an urgent military report from Juzhou arrived at the last moment, so I was delayed."
Both words and expressions invisibly elevated Shen Tianshu's status.
Li Zian's attitude made Qian Poxin couldn't help but re-evaluate the weight of Lady Tong in his heart.
When he heard Li Zian mention Juzhou, Han Changran immediately became serious.
After all, there is still a war going on there. As an official of the imperial court, he should be concerned about it.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what the situation is like in Juzhou now?"
"The progress in Juzhou is good. Qi Zihao's idea has been fine from the beginning. This strategy of joining forces with the Wuman people who are familiar with the terrain not only facilitates the march, but also reduces the casualties of many of our soldiers.
"The battle report received today is actually good news. He has found a way to cut off the Xirong people's secret road in the mountains. Now there are still some Xirong soldiers who were intercepted here and have no way to retreat. They are still resisting.
"However, they are already a small force and will never succeed. It is only a matter of time before they are captured. According to the content of today's secret message, our Daqi soldiers should be able to win a complete victory and return to the court soon."
"Little General Qi deserves to be the queen of the generals, he is indeed a tiger father without a dog son!" Han Changran immediately praised Qi Zihao in agreement, "I think back when the emperor entrusted Little General Qi with important tasks, there were still many voices of opposition in the court. , Fortunately, the Emperor is wise and discerning, and now facts speak louder than words!"
Although Qian Poxin had a smile on his face, he said nothing and looked slightly embarrassed.
After all, he was the main force among those who opposed it back then.
Seeing that Shen Tianshu kept her head down and silent, Li Zian felt that her mood was very low, so he lowered his head and said to her: "You go in first to give Mr. Han a follow-up consultation."
In fact, after seeing Li Zian coming, Shen Tianshu's mood calmed down a lot.
But Liu Xukun was standing next to her, which still made her feel a little uncomfortable. She wanted to end it all as soon as possible and go back to find a place to heal herself. When she heard this, she immediately nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xukun immediately said: "Now that I'm here, I'll go in with Mrs. Tong to take a look!
"After all, I still have some experience in caring for the elderly."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Tianshu and asked, "I believe Mrs. Tong won't mind, right?"
"Of course I don't mind, Doctor Liu doesn't need to be so polite.
"Although I regret that I did not formally go to the Jiang family to have the apprenticeship ceremony, but in terms of inheritance, I should still call you my uncle. It is my honor to have the opportunity to learn from you."
Li Zian's face was a little unhappy and he glanced at Liu Xukun, but he didn't say anything. He just said to Shen Tianshu: "Go, I'll wait for you here."
Seeing Li Zian's expression, Liu Xukun flinched a little, but when he looked up and saw Qian Boxin, thinking of his promise and guarantee, he simply gritted his teeth and turned his head to pretend not to see it.
Han Changran looked at Liu Xukun who insisted on following him and was a little worried, but he knew that his son should have gone around from behind to warn the old man, so he could continue chatting with Li Zian as if nothing happened.
Li Zian kept saying this to Han Changran, but his eyes remained glued to Shen Tianshu's body. He didn't look away until his back disappeared from the house.
The two walked into the main room, and Han Guangtao greeted them with a smile on their face.
"Ms. Tong, you're here!" Han Guangtao greeted Shen Tianshu before he saw Liu Xukun standing next to her, "This..."
"This is Dr. Liu Xukun, the imperial doctor in the palace. He was specially sent by the emperor to take care of the concubine's health." Shen Tianshu introduced, "Although I have never seen Mr. Han, I should have heard about it! "
"Oh, it turns out to be Dr. Liu." Han Guangtao said with a sudden look on his face, "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet you today."
Liu Xukun smiled and joked: "Doctors like us naturally hope to meet as few people as possible."
Han Guangtao was young after all, and was not as capable as his father in keeping quiet. His smile was a bit unnatural, and he even forgot what he was doing when he was standing there.
"It's better to ask Mr. Han to go in and help spread the word. I hope Mr. Han won't blame him." Shen Tianshu could only give some advice.
Only then did Han Guangtao remember the business and said with a troubled expression: "Please sit here for a moment. The old man doesn't know that Dr. Liu is here yet. I have to go in and tell him first."
Han Guangtao came out soon after going in, with a more complicated expression on his face, helpless and a bit apologetic.
"Oh, Dr. Liu, I'm really sorry for you, my old man won't let you in no matter what.
"Oh, you don't know my old man's temper, he can be so stubborn.
"Don't say it's me, my father can't even speak.
"If he hadn't resolutely refused to trouble Mrs. Tong, how could he have dragged a minor illness into such a serious condition that he scared my father and drove him back from the capital."
Seeing the Han family like this, Liu Xukun felt more and more that as Qian Poxin said, there must be something fishy about Mr. Han's illness.
Han Changran returned to Wuchang Mansion at this time, and there was no guarantee that he had some other purpose.
Just when Liu Xukun was about to speak, Shen Tianshu suddenly said: "Mr. Han refused to trouble me before, but in the end, not only did he still have to seek medical treatment from me, he also suffered for more than a month.
"Learning from the past is now in front of us. Mr. Han should also change his temper appropriately.
"Not only is Dr. Liu more experienced than me, he is also very knowledgeable in treating elderly people. Even the Dowager Empress relies heavily on him.
"Yi Liu is an expert that no one else can hire. Today's opportunity is so rare. If you miss it, the Han family may not be able to hire him in the future!
"In my opinion, Master Han might as well try his best to persuade the old man. Only when he takes good care of himself can Master Han return to Beijing with peace of mind to serve the imperial court, right?"
"What Mrs. Tong said is absolutely true. I will go in and try again."
Han Guangtao took a little longer to go in this time. After a long while, he came out with a look of relief on his face and said, "No wonder the old man always praises Mrs. Tong so much. Those words you just said really touched his heart. It's better than me saying a hundred words.
"Excuse me for the long wait, please come inside!"
