Although Wang Tianhe is only a fifth-rank official, his ancestors have been imperial doctors for several generations, serving the emperors, queen mothers, and imperial concubines of the past generations. With hundreds of years of accumulated connections, it is also a quite huge force.
Moreover, Wang Tianhe himself was extremely favored by the Empress Dowager Cixi. If he dug out his eyeballs out of anger and blamed the Queen Mother later, it would really not be worth it.
Therefore, seeing that everyone was interceding for him, Prince Jing gave up.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty." Wang Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not grateful at all to Xiang Nan.
Because in his opinion, Xiang Nan was not worthy of interceding on his behalf.
Xiang Nan is just a country doctor, but Wang Tianhe has been serving the royal family for generations.
The two of them are in the sky and the other is on the earth. He is not worthy of interceding for himself.
Furthermore, if it weren't for him, how could he have failed in the bet, and how could he have been humiliated today.
Moreover, in Wang Tianhe's view, Xiang Nan's plea for mercy on his behalf was simply [Shi En] and wanted to please him.
"Bah! You want me to read you well, no way! Even if I, Wang Tianhe, die, I won't be grateful to you." He thought bitterly in his heart, looking at Xiang Nan with murderous intent.
Xiang Nan is not a fool, so he can naturally see it.
I thought that Wang Tianhe was indeed narrow-minded, jealous of talents, and had no tolerance for others.
"Master, didn't you say that he wanted to harm us? Then why did you plead for mercy on his behalf?" At this time, Defu asked in confusion.
Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Don't talk too much, just eat your food."
The reason why he knew that Wang Tianhe wanted to harm him was why he took the initiative to plead for him.
For one thing, he knew that Prince Jing was just joking and didn't really mean to poke Wang Tianhe's eyes out, so he was happy to just go along with it.
Secondly, he wanted to show an image of a benevolent person who was open-minded, magnanimous and did not care about trivial matters, so that Wang Tianhe would owe him a debt of gratitude.
In this way, if Wang Tianhe wants to deal with him in the future, and everyone knows, then he will be an ungrateful and unjust villain.
Therefore, if he does not want to bear such a reputation, he must be careful when doing bad things. Moreover, it has to be done behind the back of others and cannot be known to anyone.
This makes it more difficult for him to do evil.
…
"Come here, bring me the gift for the happy man." Prince Jing then said.
Immediately, the butler walked up to Xiang Nan carrying a tray covered with red cloth. After removing the red cloth, he saw a tray of silver ingots, at least five hundred taels.
In addition, there is an exquisite belt made of gold wire and inlaid with jade.
Silver is valuable but jade is priceless! According to Xiang Nan's guess, this jade belt must be worth at least three to four thousand taels.
"This jade belt is a guessing game between the Emperor and I. He lost to me and was given to you as well." Prince Jing explained.
"Oh, it turns out to be the emperor's thing. It's priceless."
"Oh, only the emperor is worthy of enjoying such an exquisite jade belt."
"It's amazing. Such a great gift is truly a generous gift!"
When the guests heard this, they all talked about it.
Even Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong showed envy and jealousy.
They often went to the palace to see the emperor and the queen mother, but they had never received such a valuable reward.
This can't help but arouse their jealousy even more.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said, "Practicing medicine is the duty of a doctor. Just pay me the consultation fee. I really don't dare to accept extra gifts."
"Hey, if I give it to you, just accept it." Prince Jing said with a smile, "You have cured Princess's disease, and I am very happy. Whatever you wish for, just say it, and I will agree to it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I really have one thing. I hope you can help me and report it later." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "But I really can't accept this gold, silver and jewelry."
"Just accept it if you are asked to do so. If you push back any more, I will get angry." Prince Jing said with a straight face.
"In that case, I would like to thank you for your gift." Xiang Nan bowed and saluted, then turned to tell Defu, "Son, take it!"
"Hey!" Defu was eager for it, and as soon as he heard that he could accept it, he immediately took it.
"Xi Langzhong, you just said that you still have something to ask for. Just tell me what it is and I will help you with it." Prince Jing said again.
"Your Majesty, if it's inconvenient to say it now, I'll tell you later." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's drink first." Prince Jing said with a smile.
…
"I'm so glad to see the miracle doctor. I'd like to toast you. Your medical skills are so good. Even the diseases that Wang Taiyi couldn't cure can be rejuvenated by your hands. It's amazing!" A guest raised his glass.
"The method you use to treat Gege is unheard of and unseen. Even Dr. Wang, who has been practicing medicine for generations, has never heard of it. It is really amazing!" Another guest raised his glass and laughed.
"It's an anecdote that diseases can be cured without taking medicine. It's an age-old wonder. Doctor Xi's medical skills are truly unparalleled and the best in the world!" Another guest said flatteringly.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't take it, you are so complimentary." Xiang Nan smiled and said, cupping his hands, "I just read a few medical books and know some folk remedies, how can I deserve such praise from you?"
"Haha, the real person is not the real person, and the real person is not the real person. The miracle doctor Xi is so humble, he is a truly capable person." The guests all laughed.
Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel jealous and angry when they saw that everyone praised Xiang Nan so highly, calling him "No. 1 in the world" and "The most brilliant person in the world", and even using themselves as his stepping stone.
"Everyone, in fact our doctor Wang also knows about this fumigation method." Lu Zhong couldn't help but say, "This method was not pioneered by Xi Langzhong. Some people have used this method to treat diseases as early as the Tang Dynasty."
"If that's the case, why doesn't Dr. Wang treat Princess like this?" Lu Zhengming asked with a sneer after hearing this.
This method was not used to treat the disease at the beginning, but after Xiang Nan cured Gege, it turned out to be a hindsight, which is really laughable.
"Hey, Gege's disease is very rare. There is no way to verify whether the fumigation method works." Wang Taiyi immediately explained, "Furthermore, our doctor is hampered by ethics, and Gege is a wealthy person. Naturally, it is not convenient to strip off her body like this." Native method."
"That's right. With this fumigation method, the patient's chance of survival is only one or two in ten thousand. Imperial Physician Wang is mature and prudent, and Princess is a wealthy person, so naturally he cannot take such risks. Only a charlatan like Xilaile would dare to act so boldly." Lu Zhongye stood up and said, "Besides, if it wasn't for Dr. Wang's good health before, I'm afraid Gege would have long..."
"Xi Langzhong, are they telling the truth?" Prince Jing asked Xiang Nan in confusion upon hearing this.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he knew that Prince Jing's soft-eared problem had occurred again.
If Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong had known about this method, they would have used it long ago, why would they have waited until now to talk about it.
They only learned the origin of this method after they used it themselves.
