Hua Yao was led into the front hall by the guards of Zhenguo Palace. He saw Shen Haolin sitting in the middle seat, and Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao sitting on his lower right. The two were whispering to each other, not knowing what to say.
What really surprised him was Bai Meng. He didn't expect to see the commander-in-chief at the Zhenguo Palace. He thought that the commander-in-chief, who had just returned to Beijing today, would go back to the mansion to rest after completing the handover procedures.
Although he was a little surprised, Hua Yao still bowed to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and the commander in a polite manner, nodded towards Jin Miaomiao, smiled, and said hello.
"Master Hua, please sit down!"
"Thank you, General!" Sitting next to Bai Meng, Hua Yao looked at Shen Haolin, "I have come to disturb you so rudely, please don't dislike me, the Duke and the General. Originally, the two of you have just returned to Beijing, so you should let them Have a good rest, but..."
"Mr. Hua is a little anxious because Liu Shuai hasn't responded, right?" Shen Cha waved his hand, "Don't be anxious, the appointment will be sent to the house by the staff within three days at most."
Hua Yao couldn't believe his ears. He had been working hard for more than a month, but he got the news so quickly. He didn't react for a long time, he could only open his mouth and stare at Shen Cha blankly.
"Close your big mouth and come to your senses!" Bai Meng rolled his eyes at Hua Yao and stretched out his leg to kick him. Seeing that Hua Yao was awake, he continued, "The Duke of the country and the eldest son When the general came out of the palace, he met Liu Shuai. Liu Shuai agreed to your request for the sake of both of them. You have to thank them properly. You have to be grateful, understand? When you get to Liu Shuai, you can't give them two. A disgrace!"
Hua Yao stood up and saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha solemnly.
"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, General! Yao will definitely live up to your recommendation and will work hard!"
"I hope so, but you don't have to force yourself." Shen Haolin raised his hand and motioned for Hua Yao to sit down, "Liu Shuai's temper is a little impatient. When his temper gets angry, he might say something that makes him uncomfortable. If you regret it, don’t take it to heart, there’s no need.”
"However, Liu Shuai also told us that if you fail to meet his requirements, he will drive you back to Xijing at any time." Shen Cha continued what Shen Haolin said, "This time you follow Liu Shuai on the expedition, and your identity is him My personal soldier, you must keep this in mind and don’t do anything that is inconsistent with your status. Don’t be willful, impulsive, and don’t go against Liu Shuai’s wishes, do you understand?”
"I definitely won't do it randomly, but..." Hua Yao looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, and finally at Bai Meng, "Didn't you always have a deep grudge against Liu Shuai before? Has he been too stubborn in recent years and unwilling to listen to other people's advice? If I find that Liu Shuai's decision is wrong and will cost the lives of innocent soldiers, can't I object?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Your Majesty will arrange for someone to assist him. Just follow Liu Shuai and come back with all your beard and tail intact." Bai Meng, who was finally full, picked up the tea, rinsed his mouth, and put down the cup. He turned to look at Hua Yao, "How is your father? People from the hospital go to see him every day and take medicine every day, but he still doesn't get better. It's not a big deal to keep suffering like this!"
"To be honest, it's not very good. I came to see the Duke and the General today, and I also have something to ask for." Hua Yao looked at Jin Miaomiao, "Isn't Master Jin here too? I dare to invite Master Jin Show it to my father."
"There's no problem with that. I can come and visit tomorrow. But..." Jin Miaomiao stood up, walked to Shen Haolin, picked up the pen and paper on his desk, walked back and sat down, staring at it carefully. Hua Yao, "Before you go, I need you to explain your father's current situation, the diagnosis given by the Tai Hospital, and their prescriptions. Mr. Hua can do this, right?"
"I have brought the pulse records and prescriptions from Tai Hospital." Hua Yao took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, stood up, walked to Jin Miaomiao, and handed them to her hands respectfully. "It's like this. After returning from Jiapingguan City, I asked the commander to go home with me." He turned around and looked at Bai Meng, "That's what happened, right?"
"That's right!" Bai Meng confirmed that Hua Yao's words were correct, and added, "However, when I came to visit that day, the old master's condition was not very good. He had no energy and was out of breath. I was so angry that I called the imperial doctor at that time. The imperial doctor said that the old man was old and frightened. The boy was also very nervous when he left home and did not have a good rest. Therefore, his body collapsed all of a sudden. Why? You also need to take a good rest for two or three years."
"Two or three years?" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow and moved his gaze from the pulse table to Bai Meng, "Did the imperial doctor say that?"
"Exactly, it's because the old master is too old and doesn't dare to use too powerful medicine."
"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "There is a saying that if the patient's physical condition is particularly bad, he really needs to be treated slowly." She pointed at Chencha, "It's basically the same as her situation, indeed. It takes a long time.”
"We're not afraid of this. We're just afraid that someone will hold us back, aren't we?" Bai Meng rolled his eyes at Hua Yao as he spoke, "This kid saw that his father was sick, so he stayed honest for a few days and wanted to say I didn't say anything. I thought it was over like this, but less than half a month later, this guy's petty mind started to show up again. He dragged me to their house again and insisted that I intercede with the old teacher. Let him go to Liu Shuai."
"Your father is already so ill, and you still want to go to Liu Shuai's place?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "Old Master definitely disagrees."
"Of course, after hearing what he said, the old master's face turned livid instantly, and he scolded him. This kid must have felt uncomfortable after being scolded, and he didn't discuss it with me, so he just left the Jiaping Pass with a bang. All the things that Cheng saw have been told, and they have completely exposed the Grand Master." Bai Meng felt a headache when he thought of the scene that day, and pointed at Hua Yao, who had embarrassment written all over his face, "I... ...Tell me about you, what should I say about you? Once this little temper comes up, I will completely ignore it."
"In front of you?"
"Isn't that right? In front of me, he wiped out all the bad things that happened to his father when he was young." Bai Meng pointed at Hua Yao, "The old master's face at that time was as swollen as a pig's liver. Yes, before I could save him, the old master vomited a large mouthful of blood and passed out immediately. However, the imperial doctor later said that this mouthful of blood was good and it vomited out all the things accumulated in the heart. Sure enough, from that day on, the old master's condition has improved. Some time ago, when I went to see him, he could walk around and talk to others." He raised his eyebrows at the people who were looking at him. , "I know I just said that I suspected that the old master was pretending to be ill, because in my opinion, his current situation is much better than before. If he still stays behind closed doors, there is something wrong."
"The Commander-in-Chief doesn't know. Although he is feeling much better physically, what I said seems to have hit him hard. He has been in a bad mood and wakes up from nightmares every night."
"Look at the good things you did!" Bai Meng sighed heavily, "I'm telling you, if your father wasn't here at that time, I would have wanted to slap you!"
"Stop talking, Commander-in-Chief, I even want to slap myself." Hua Yao squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed, "I...I know what I did was wrong, so , I want to make up for it, at least before I leave Xijing, I can see that my father's condition has improved."
"Okay, it's good enough to know that you were wrong, not to mention that you still have the heart to repent! But, having said that, after listening to what you two said, I can almost understand the situation of the old teacher. At least I can be sure that he is not because of you. He would only have nightmares if he was provoked in front of the commander-in-chief." Jin Miaomiao put down the pen in his hand and gently blew the ink stains on the paper, "It's because he feels guilty about the Lu family, and this guilt is hidden in He has been thinking about it for decades. In the past few decades, whenever he thinks about this incident, he will have nightmares. Therefore, over time, his body will be worn down step by step. This is a heart disease. Just relying on eating There’s no cure with medicine.”
"So that's it!" Hua Yao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. "My father still has... well, there is medicine to treat it, right?"
"Of course this is, it's not a difficult or complicated disease." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "But the specific method can only be determined by seeing the person in person. Mr. Hua, don't be so anxious. There is no need to be anxious."
"I understand, thank you Master Jin!" Hua Yao got up from the ground and bowed deeply to Jin Miaomiao, "I'll leave everything to Master Jin. I will be waiting for you at home tomorrow!"
"This is what a doctor should do. Mr. Hua doesn't need to be polite." Jin Miaomiao waved her hands and tried to help him up. She almost fell down and touched her nose in embarrassment. "I hope that Mr. Hua will leave Xijing." Before, I could give you complete peace of mind.”
