Chapter 209: Consultation

Wei Yan was very gentle and polite. He raised his hands and called "Ling Wuye".

Lord Ling was quite flattered: "Mr. Wei is too polite. How much older I am to you, just call me Brother Ling."

Wei Yan is twenty-four this year, and Ling Wuye is eight or nine years older than Wei Yan. The fifth master Ling did not hold any official position, but the imperial doctor Wei was Wei Jieyu's younger brother. He was also a serious official, and his superb medical skills were well-known in the capital.

Regardless of their status, Wei Yan and Ling Wuye are equals. Being so respectful and polite, implicitly treating himself as a junior, made Fifth Master Ling both touched and uneasy.

Wei Yan smiled slightly and said in a low and sweet voice: "Young Master Ling, Miss Ling, and I have known each other for a long time, and we have always treated each other as equals. At this time, it is only natural to call me Ling Wu Master. You don't have to be polite, Ling Wu Master."

Ling Wuye didn't even dare to say anything, but he felt very comfortable in his heart.

It's always nice to be respected.

Ling Jingshu subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Wei Yan, and she happened to look into Wei Yan's eyes.

Those deep eyes contained a slight smile and many complicated and unspeakable emotions.

Ling Jingshu's heart beat suddenly faster and she looked away pretending to be calm.

After Wei Yan exchanged a few words with Mr. Ling Wu, he walked to Ling Xiao and sat down as usual. His voice was still gentle: "Master Ling, I am going to give you an acupuncture now, so you should be prepared first."

Ling Xiao unexpectedly opened his mouth to plead: "Mr. Wei, please treat Ah Shu first! My illness doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I wait for a while."

Wei Yan: "..."

Wei Yan looked at Ling Jingshu in surprise.

Have you told everyone about your strange illness?

Ling Jingshu didn't expect that Ling Xiao would suddenly say something like this, and explained with some helplessness: "My father came to the capital specially because of my illness. Therefore, I didn't hide it anymore."

Everyone who needs to know knows it, and there is nothing to hide anymore.

Wei Yan heard the hidden meaning of Ling Jingshu's words, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't explain what he felt for the moment.

Ling Wuye hurriedly took over the conversation: "I also ask Dr. Wei to do his best to diagnose and treat Ah Shu. As long as her disease can be cured, it doesn't matter how much the consultation fee is."

Before Wei Yan could say anything, Ling Jingshu frowned slightly and replied: "My father is worried about his daughter's illness, which makes me deeply moved. But Dr. Wei has never heard of my strange disease, and he doesn't know how much it will cost to cure it." Just give me your energy and thoughts. If you can't cure it, it will be a disaster for me, so don't force yourself to do anything."

Wei Yan immediately heard the song and knew its elegant meaning.

When Ling Jingshu said this, she was clearly implying that he "tried his best to diagnose and treat" but "could not cure" her illness. Only in this way can we continue to use our illness as a shield to protect ourselves from the watchful eyes of Queen Xu and King Yan...

"Don't worry, Fifth Master Ling, I will do my best." Wei Yan took over the words very cooperatively: "Master Ling, don't worry, I will give you acupuncture first. Miss Ling's disease is extremely rare, and I am still studying the treatment. It’s not advisable to treat this strange disease too hastily. I’ll give Miss Ling a detailed diagnosis later.”

These words were very solemn, and combined with Wei Yan's status as a miracle doctor, they were particularly convincing.

Ling Jingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Wei Yan gratefully.

Ling Xiao was also particularly convinced by Wei Yan's words, and as expected he stopped saying anything. Fifth Master Ling wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wei Yan had already opened the medicine box and took out the golden needle with a solemn expression.

Ling Wuye shut his mouth knowingly.

The process of acupuncture is still accompanied by forbearance and pain. Glittering gold needles of different lengths and thickness were inserted into Ling Xiao's head one by one. Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and did not move. A layer of cold sweat soon broke out on his forehead.

Ling Jingshu has seen this scene many times. Every time I see him, my heart is always clenched and I can hardly breathe.

The fifth master Ling was shocked when he saw it for the first time, and asked in a low voice: "A-Shu, is this the case every time A-Xiao performs acupuncture?"

Ling Jingshu hummed, and seeing the shocked look on Fifth Master Ling's face, she couldn't help but sarcastically said: "This is the first time for my father to see A Xiao perform acupuncture, so he is a little frightened. I've seen it more often, and I think it's normal."

Fifth Master Ling was a little embarrassed and shut up again.

…

Half an hour later.

The golden needles were pulled out one by one, cleaned and put back into the medicine cabinet.

Ling Xiao was covered in cold sweat, and his head was sore and tingling.

"How do you feel now?" Wei Yan's voice was very gentle.

Ling Xiao forced out a smile: "It's much better than before. Doctor Wei, if you are not in a hurry to return to the palace now, please help me see Ah Shu!"

Wei Yan smiled lightly and said: "I am not in a hurry to go back to Tai Hospital for the time being. There is still time for consultation. However, Miss Ling's illness is quite special. It is not appropriate for outsiders to be present when I am treating her."

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Wei Yan looked at Fifth Master Ling again: "I wonder if Fifth Master Ling is willing to agree?"

Just go to the doctor and see the doctor. There is no reason for men and women to be alone. This Imperial Physician Wei is so young and handsome... If the news reaches the ears of the Emperor's grandson, how can he not mind?

Lord Ling was quite reluctant, but he couldn't refuse directly, so as not to offend Imperial Physician Wei. Then he responded vaguely: "As long as Ah Shu is willing, I have no objection."

With that said, he winked at Ling Jingshu.

Why don't you open your mouth and refuse!

Ling Jingshu turned a blind eye to Master Ling Wu's eyes and smiled at Wei Yan: "Then there is Imperial Doctor Lao Wei."

Ling Wuye: "..."

The corners of Ling Wuye's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but finally held back.

…

Ling Xiao sat for a while, and soon pulled the reluctant Ling Wuye out. The maids and servants also left.

Soon, only Wei Yan and Ling Jingshu were left in the room.

Wei Yan stared at Ling Jingshu, and Ling Jingshu's eyes touched his lightly, and her heart seemed to be gently brushed by a feather. She subconsciously lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze.

Wei Yan's deep and pleasant voice sounded in his ears: "Miss Ling, I was rude today. After you go back, if Master Ling Wu is unhappy and blames you, just put the blame on me."

"How is this rude?" Ling Jingshu raised her head and looked at Wei Yan quietly: "Thank you for covering for me just now. Otherwise, my father would definitely be suspicious."

Wei Yan said half-jokingly: "Since I promised you, I must keep my word. No matter who asks in the future, you can use me as a shield. Just say that I am treating you and there is no need to invite other famous doctors."

Ling Jingshu coughed: "I have already said that."

Wei Yan: "..."

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then laughed at the same time.

The previous slight strangeness and tension also disappeared in an instant.
