Chapter 196: Testing 1
Wei Yan didn't notice Tian Dong's surprise, his eyes were only on the two young men and women standing opposite each other.
From his angle, he could only see Ling Jingshu's back, but the look of the Crown Prince was clearly visible.
The Crown Prince was looking at Ling Jingshu, his eyes focused on no one else.
This was the look a young man gave his favorite girl!
He had always known that the Crown Prince was very interested in Ling Jingshu, but this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene.
What about Ling Jingshu? Did she have the same feelings for the Crown Prince? No, it shouldn't be. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so worried about the King of Yan...
Wei Yan calmed down, walked forward, and bowed: "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince hummed casually, and his eyes fell on Wei Yan's face: "It's been quite a while since Doctor Wei gave acupuncture to Young Master Ling. I wonder if there has been any progress in Young Master Ling's condition?"
Wei Yan replied with a restrained expression: "There has indeed been some progress. The blood clots in Young Master Ling's brain have dissipated a lot, and his eyes can see a little. As long as he persists in acupuncture treatment, there will always be a day when he will recover."
The Crown Prince smiled meaningfully: "Doctor Wei has done his best to treat Young Master Ling. If he cures Young Master Ling's eye disease one day, Miss Ling will definitely be grateful and remember it in her heart."
Wei Yan pretended not to hear the sourness in the Crown Prince's words, and smiled lightly: "As the saying goes, a doctor is like a parent. I am devoted to studying medicine for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives, and I never expect any reward."
The tone was neither humble nor arrogant, neither soft nor hard.
The Crown Prince's eyes flashed, and he pulled the corner of his lips with a smile: "Doctor Wei has a noble medical ethics, and he is dedicated to treating patients without asking for rewards. It is really admirable."
Wei Yan looked calm: "Your Highness, you are too kind."
The four looked at each other. Wei Yan's eyes were calm and peaceful, but the Crown Prince looked cold and intimidating. It seemed that they were competing with each other invisibly.
Ling Jingshu also felt a little uncomfortable, and broke the silence with a cough: "Your Highness, A Xiao has finished the acupuncture, so we won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave and go back to the mansion."
The Crown Prince did not say anything to keep him, but just hummed casually.
Ling Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly at Wei Yan, and then turned and left.
The Crown Prince stared at Ling Jingshu's back steadily, and when he looked back, he suddenly found that Wei Yan was actually in the same action as him. The flame that had just been suppressed suddenly came up.
"Why is Doctor Wei still not leaving today? Is there something he is reluctant to leave?" The Crown Prince asked with a fake smile.
Wei Yan smiled calmly and said, "Your Highness hasn't left yet, how dare I go first."
The Crown Prince resisted the urge to sneer and said expressionlessly, "Well, then I will go first." After that, he turned around and left.
Wei Yan stood there for a moment, with no emotion in his expression.
Tian Dong was confused and asked cautiously, "Doctor Wei, are we not leaving yet?" What happened just now? There seemed to be a little tension between Doctor Wei and the Crown Prince.
Wei Yan came back to his senses and said lightly, "Okay, let's go."
Tian Dong said, "Oh," and followed Wei Yan out of the Prince's Mansion.
The Imperial Hospital is a distance away from the Prince's Mansion. Wei Yan doesn't like to ride in a carriage, and he always walks. Today is no exception. However, Wei Yan's pace today is a little slower than usual.
Tian Dong secretly glanced at Wei Yan and said boldly: "Doctor Wei, are you in a bad mood?" There was no smile on that gentle and handsome face.
Wei Yan would not admit it: "No."
Tian Dong muttered in a low voice: "You are obviously in a bad mood, but you still refuse to admit it." He has been with Wei Yan for several years and is familiar with Wei Yan's temperament. Wei Yan clearly looked worried at this time.
As for the reason, he couldn't figure it out for a while. I think it has something to do with the Crown Prince.
Wei Yan turned a deaf ear to Tian Dong's chattering and just quickened his pace.
...
After returning to the Imperial Hospital, before he could calm down, the eunuchs came to the palace.
"The Queen is a little unwell today, please ask Doctor Wei to come to the palace now and take the Queen's pulse." The one who came was Hu Gonggong, the eunuch in charge of the Pepper Room.
This Hu Gonggong relied on the prestige of Queen Xu and was used to showing off his power on weekdays. At this time, he was very attentive and warm to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan frowned slightly, then smiled and agreed.
He rushed to the Pepper Room.
Wei Yan stopped outside the Pepper Room and said gently: "Please let Eunuch Hu report for me."
Eunuch Hu smiled and said: "The Queen has been waiting for Doctor Wei in the palace, and she also specifically told me to go in directly when you arrive, without the need to inform you."
He paused and then joked in a low voice: "The Queen is so fond of Doctor Wei, this favor is really enviable. Who in this Pepper Room doesn't know the illustrious name of Doctor Wei?"
The envy and ambiguity in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were particularly glaring.
Wei Yan felt disgusted and even a little nauseous.
He didn't care about this "favor" at all!
After entering the Pepper Room, a pretty maid came to greet him. The maid said little to Wei Yan, and was quite reserved: "The Queen is not feeling well and is resting in bed. Please ask Doctor Wei to follow me into the Queen's bedroom."
...According to the palace rules, if the concubines are sick, they should ask the doctor to go to the outer hall. Unless they are seriously ill, they should not be bedridden.
The corners of Wei Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he responded without any expression, and followed the maid into the bedroom.
The Pepper Room is the residence of the empress, and it is also the most luxurious bedroom in the palace. Empress Xu's bedroom is naturally decorated very delicately. From a distance, you can smell a faint fragrance, and the closer you get, the stronger the fragrance becomes.
The maid lifted the beaded curtain, and Wei Yan walked in. Tian Dong was about to follow him in, but was stopped by the maid with a smile: "The imperial doctor Wei wants to check the pulse of the empress, you just wait outside."
Tian Dong had to stop.
Wei Yan entered the bedroom, without looking around, and bowed: "I greet the empress."
Empress Xu was originally lying on the bed. When she heard Wei Yan's voice, she immediately ordered the maid to help her sit up and leaned against the thick and soft pillow. She stretched out her wrist lazily: "Doctor Wei, I have felt lazy and weak since I got up today. Please come and see what is going on for me."
Wei Yan said calmly: "The Queen felt unwell when she got up early, so she should have summoned the doctor earlier. Otherwise, she would have delayed the recovery of her health. There are many doctors with excellent medical skills in the Imperial Hospital, and Doctor Zhou and Doctor Li are both outstanding."
Empress Xu raised her lips and smiled: "I am used to you taking my pulse, so I didn't summon other doctors."
