"Hey, by the way, I just told you about the reform and forgot that there are important things that I haven't mentioned yet." After Lu Zhengming made an impassioned speech, he suddenly scratched his head and said, "His Majesty, I hope you can go." See a doctor."
"Since it is the prince's order, I am naturally obligated." Xiang Nan nodded, "I will pack the medicine box and we will leave immediately."
"No, no, not now, we will go in the evening." Lu Zhengming waved his hand quickly.
"At night?!" Xiang Nan was stunned and suddenly thought of something.
At this time, Hu Suhua came in with tea. When she heard Lu Zhengming's words, she immediately frowned, "Mr. Lu, why do you have to go to see a doctor at night? Isn't this a shabby place?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengming quickly waved his hands and said, "If the superiors find out, their heads will be lost."
"What kind of place is so arrogant and makes you lose your head every time you say it? Could it be the Forbidden City?" Xiang Nan asked knowingly. He thought it was time to see Concubine Zhen.
"Xi Langzhong, you are really smart. Yes, you can go into the palace and treat the empress." Lu Zhengming nodded immediately.
"Really, going to the palace to see a doctor?! Oh, old man, I heard a magpie chirping this morning. It turns out there is indeed a happy event." Hu Suhua said excitedly after hearing this.
Xiang Nan smiled.
Knowing this, it was actually Prince Jing who tricked him.
She knew clearly that Concubine Zhen did not please the Queen Mother, and anyone who treated her would be resented by the Queen Mother. She also recommended him to attack Concubine Zhen to treat her.
Fortunately, it was a near miss and Cixi was not too angry. Otherwise, your life will be at stake.
To be honest, it was a bit unkind for the prince to do this.
It means treating yourself as a tool that can be used and discarded at any time. Thinking about it, it's really chilling.
"Master Lu, tell the truth, what kind of disease does Concubine Zhen have? Is it that even the imperial doctor is helpless?" Xiang Nan asked immediately.
"I'm not sure about that. I just said he was bedridden." Lu Zhengming waved his hands. He really didn't know. After all, the matter involved the palace, and the prince didn't say much to him.
Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that Lu Zhengming was straight-tempered. He couldn't explain clearly, so he probably didn't. It seems that this matter was done by the prince alone.
Thinking about it this way, he had no resentment towards Lu Zhengming.
"Well, since it is the prince's order, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate." Xiang Nan then smiled.
"Then it's settled, I'll pick you up tonight." Lu Zhengming nodded.
…
"Old man, I really didn't expect that you would really bring honor to our old Xi family when you go to the city to see your wife." Hu Suhua giggled, extremely happy, "Sister Xi Shi, Defu, Yu'er... ...Come and congratulate the old man~"
"Sister, what's going on?" Sai Xishi walked in with Yin'er's support, her belly bulging. In another month at most, she will give birth.
Defu, Shengzi, Luzi and others also ran in, "Master's wife, what's going on?"
"The old man is going to the palace to see the empress~" Hu Suhua announced proudly.
"Oh, is it true? Congratulations, big brother, congratulations, big brother!"
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
"Master is really amazing. Going to the palace to see a doctor is something I have never thought of in my life."
Everyone was very happy when they heard it.
"Okay, just be happy and happy, it's not a big deal actually." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "The imperial doctor of the imperial hospital can go to the palace every day, so what does it matter? It's not the same life.
Defu, please pack the medicine box and go to the palace with Master in the evening. "
"Master, are you telling the truth? Do you really want me to accompany you into the palace?" Defu said in surprise when he heard this.
"Son, can I forget you for such a good thing?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Defu has done a good job in the past six months. He is a doctor in Yixiaotang. He is diligent and conscientious. He has countless people and is well-known in the capital. Many patients know that there is Dr. Zhang in Yixiaotang, who is good at treating patients.
His temperament has also changed from being extravagant to becoming more stable. In the past six months, he has not made any mistakes when visiting doctors. He is very practical and stable.
In fact, the reason why he was so frivolous and carefree before was largely because of Xilaile and Hu Suhua's spoiling him. The two of them treated him as their own son and could not be said to be obedient, but compared to other apprentices, Defu was undoubtedly treated much better.
Coupled with Hu Suhua's strong personality and Xilaile's excellent medical skills, Yixiaotang is supported by them, without wind or rain, which makes Defu not bullied much since he was a child. Naturally, he does not know the dangers of the world, so he is naive, childish and frivolous.
However, in the past six months, he has begun to stand alone, and the burden on his shoulders has become heavier, which naturally puts pressure on him. In addition, Wang Tianhe sent people to harm him several times, which also made him see the ugliness of human nature.
So he began to grow rapidly. Xiang Nan is also willing to let him see more of the world so that he can grow faster.
"Thank you, Master." Defu said happily.
"Brother Defu, congratulations~"
"Brother Defu, I really envy you~"
"Brother Defu, it's great that you are going to meet the emperor~"
Everyone congratulated him.
…
"Okay, don't rush to congratulate me yet." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Telfu, come here, master will teach you some rules in the palace so that you don't go in and talk nonsense.
At that time, if you say something incorrectly and offend Long Yan, do you know what will happen? "
"What's the end?" Defu asked doubtfully.
"Ka~" Xiang Nan pointed his fingers like a knife and made an empty cut between his neck.
"..." Defu was immediately frightened, "Master, otherwise I'd better not go."
Entering the palace is a good thing, but there is a risk of losing your head. Instead, he would rather stay at home.
"Look at your potential. A man, you would rather be beaten to death than scared to death." When Yu'er saw it, she hated iron and said.
"I dare you not to go, that's why I say it so easily." Defu retorted.
"Okay, be honest, no one will behead you." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Come, learn from me how to salute when you arrive in the palace..."
Xiang Nan immediately started teaching Defu.
His understanding of court etiquette is much better than that of Hu Suhua.
Hu Suhua's little knowledge was gained on the stage and in storytelling. It was just a matter of hearsay and anecdotal evidence. In fact, that was not the case at all.
Defu also knew that if he did it wrong, he might lose his head, so he studied very seriously.
How to recognize people, how to salute, how to answer questions... I basically figured it all out.
In fact, when foreign ministers enter the palace, they need to have eunuchs and eunuchs to teach them the rules. They are afraid that the lack of etiquette will offend Long Yan.
However, in the late Qing Dynasty, order was chaotic and many rules were abolished. In addition, this time the treatment was urgent, and there was no time to prepare.
…
Master and apprentice Xiang Nan prepared for a long time. In the evening, Lu Zhengming took them into the palace.
