As Zhan Fei and the imperial doctor returned without success several times, and as the Duke Wen's government's aggressive search for private doctors came to light, the news that Zhuang Yutang had become a useless person spread like wildfire.
Speaking of Wen Guogong's banker, among the many nobles in the capital, he is also extremely prominent.
The late emperor was only eight years old when he ascended the throne. In order to stabilize the court situation and control the regent, Ying Zong appointed four assistant ministers before his death, and Mr. Zhuang was one of them.
In the early days of the emperor's accession to the throne, the four ministers were indeed very popular. However, after the regent was executed, the four ministers slowly withdrew from the court.
Even after he retired, the Zhuang family was not affected by Mr. Zhuang's many years of management in the court. Later, Mr. Zhuang's eldest granddaughter married the fourth son of the late emperor, the current emperor, and became the fourth prince's concubine.
Unfortunately, the fourth princess died of illness before the emperor ascended the throne.
Although the banker was the emperor's immediate family, after the emperor ascended the throne, the banker took the initiative to keep a low profile.
It is necessary to keep a low profile. Firstly, although the fourth princes and concubines were posthumously named queens, they were already dead. Secondly, the eldest prince, the eldest son of Queen Zhuang, was poisoned and died soon.
Finally, the emperor's successor came from the Wei family of the Duke of Chengguo. Mr. Wei was the first of the four assistant ministers. At the same time, Mr. Wei's eldest daughter was the first wife of the late emperor and the current queen mother.
The Queen Mother and the Empress are both daughters of the Wei family. The Emperor also appointed the second prince born by Empress Wei as the crown prince. Due to the embarrassing status of the eldest prince, the banker had to choose to avoid it.
Shi Fuxin looked at the banker's information in her hand and was speechless for a long time.
Someone from Duke Wen's palace came to Saihua Tuoju to seek medical treatment. When she found out, she exchanged a pill for relieving lung disease and a cigarette bag for this information about the banker.
She didn't expect that the banker of Duke Wen's mansion was actually the grandfather's family of the cheap apprentice.
However, this grandfather's family is a bit unreliable for a cheap disciple.
In all the time she had been in Beijing, she had never heard of any contact between Duke Wen's mansion and the eldest prince's mansion.
Obviously, as the emperor's eldest son, the cheap apprentice had a noble and embarrassing status. In addition, due to his poor health, the dealer avoided him in order not to make the Wei family suspicious.
For practical reasons, it is understandable that they do this, but for emotional reasons, it is a bit callous.
"sister."
Shi Dinghao came to Lanyuelou to find Shi Fuxin to accompany him to practice Cuju. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shi Fuxin reading a letter: "What are you looking at?"
Shi Fuxin handed him the information in her hand.
After Shi Dinghao saw it, he was also surprised that Zhuang Yutang and the eldest prince were relatives.
"Sister, why did you think of asking about Duke Wen's mansion?"
Shi Fuxin: "The Duke of Wen went to Saihua Tuoju to seek medical treatment."
Hearing this, Shi Dinghao's expression suddenly brightened: "Sister, can you heal General Zhuang's injury?"
Shi Fuxin just said: "A hero who has stayed at the border for many years to protect his family and country should not end up like this."
Shi Dinghao nodded with approval, then showed uncertainty: "But sister, Doctor Zhan said that General Zhuang's injury cannot be cured."
Shi Fuxin said quietly: "This time, I'm afraid I'm going to slap my senior brother in the face. Fortunately, I got myself a vest. As long as he doesn't know that Sai Huatuo is me, the relationship between our senior brothers and sisters will not be affected.
"
Shi Dinghao: "......" Do sister and Dr. Zhan have a brother-sister relationship?
...
In late May, during the day, Fuxin went to the Imperial Women's Prison to study as usual, and at night, she began to visit Duke Wen's mansion at night.
The security of Duke Wen's Mansion was much tighter than that of Cigarette Mansion. It took Shi Fuxin quite some time to figure out the layout of Duke Wen's Mansion and the patrol rules of the nursing home.
On the first day of June, after making all preparations, Shi Fuxin sneaked into the courtyard where Zhuang Yutang lived in Duke Wen's mansion.
Zhuang Yutang has been unable to sleep peacefully since he was seriously injured. He feels hazy every day and sometimes cannot even distinguish between day and night.
However, the alertness developed through years of fighting was not lost. When Fuxin sneaked into the room silently, he noticed it at once. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he was tapped on his sleeping hole and fell into a deep sleep.
Shi Fuxin used her mental power to scan Zhuang Yutang's body and immediately understood the extent of his injuries. She took out the silver needle and applied the needle while using her healing powers to help with the treatment. Finally, she took out the ointment she had prepared earlier.
Where the vertebrae are broken and shattered.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Wen Guogong came to see her son and found that the room in Zhuang Yu's hall was quiet. None of the maids serving him were seen, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on her face.
Thinking that the servants were bullying Zhuang Yutang, who was paralyzed in bed and did not serve him seriously, he rushed into the room with others.
Seeing that the maids in the room were sleeping like dead pigs, Mrs. Wen Guogong was furious and immediately asked the mother-in-law beside her to wake them up.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law screamed and shook, but the maids showed no response.
"They were tapped in their sleeping holes."
A weak voice came from the inner room. When Mrs. Wen Guogong heard it, she didn't care about the maid, and walked into the inner room quickly, three steps at a time.
When he saw Zhuang Yutang lying on the bed, with thick white bandages wrapped from the waist down, he froze on the spot.
"How is this going?!"
Mrs. Wen Guogong's face changed drastically. When she left last night, her son was not like this at all. She turned pale when she thought of the maid outside who couldn't be woken up.
Someone sneaked into the Duke's mansion and even touched his son's yard!
"Mother......"
Zhuang Yutang's voice sounded again. Mrs. Wen Guogong came to her senses, ran to the bedside, and looked at Zhuang Yutang nervously: "Yutang, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
"Come here, hurry up. Go and notify the Duke of Guo and ask him to come over quickly. Also, ask the imperial doctor who is staying in the mansion to come over quickly."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. That person didn't mean any harm to me last night." If it was really bad for him, he wouldn't be able to wake up today.
Zhuang Yutang raised his hand with some difficulty and pointed to the coffee table by the window. There was a note on the coffee table.
Mrs. Wen Guogong hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the note: "I won't charge you this time. Your banker owes me a favor. I will come to ask for it, Sai Hua Tuoliu."
Zhuang Yutang quickly asked: "Mother, who is Sai Huatuo?"
After seeing the note, Mrs. Wen Guogong suddenly calmed down: "Sai Huatuo is a wandering doctor. Before, the girls from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the Prince of Nanhe Mansion were bitten by the Red Flame Marten, and it was he who detoxified the poison."
"He has a small clinic in Anyefang. This man is very mysterious. No one knows who he is or where he comes from."
At this time, Wen Guogong came with the imperial doctor.
"Imperial physician, please take a look at Yutang's injury."
Mrs. Wen Guogong first asked the imperial physician to check Zhuang Yutang's condition, and then gave the note left by Sai Huatuo to Wen Guogong: "Sai Huatuo sneaked into Yutang's room last night."
After seeing it, Duke Wen looked a little solemn. The imperial physician was present and did not say anything immediately.
When Zhuang Yutang saw that the imperial doctor wanted to take off the bandage, he immediately stopped him: "Don't take it off."
Imperial Physician: "If you don't untie it, I won't be able to examine your injuries."
Zhuang Yutang was silent for a moment, then looked at Duke Wen and his wife: "Father, mother, and son want to wait and see what happens."
Wen Guogong and his wife looked at each other. During this period, they had looked for countless doctors, but no one could cure Zhuang Yutang. Now someone stepped forward, and the two of them had some hope.
However, they sneaked into the mansion without even saying hello, which made the two of them a little dissatisfied.
"Okay, wait and see. If Saihua Tuo can't cure you, my father will destroy his courtyard."
