Nowadays, most of the people who support King An hold important positions in the court. In the past, if there were patients in their families, these high officials would receive divine grace and ask for the imperial doctor. Therefore, there are also a few people who are familiar with the imperial doctor Cao, and they would occasionally visit him on weekdays.
Get together too.
This time, the person who invited Dr. Cao to have a drink was Di Weiming's eldest son, Di Yun, who was granted the title of uncle-in-law by Emperor Ming Yuan.
Originally, only the Empress Dowager or the Queen's brother could be named the Imperial Uncle. However, Di Yun served as a convoy three years ago and Emperor Ming Yuan escaped the disaster, so he made Di Yun the Imperial Uncle on the spot.
The uncle-in-law's mother-in-law had suffered from a myocardial infarction in the early years, so she always asked for mercy through the imperial concubine. Dr. Cao had been there several times, and she became familiar with the uncle-in-law after repeated visits.
Now that Uncle Guo invited him to have a drink, Dr. Cao had no reason not to go.
However, Imperial Physician Cao was not a fool. Now the undercurrent between Prince An and the Crown Prince was becoming serious. Before he went, he asked Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao said: "You can just go. If you ask about Aunt Xi during the dinner, you can say that Aunt Xi is indeed ill, but you did not participate in the treatment. The Crown Princess did the treatment herself, and you must say that Aunt Xi is ill."
Mammy lives in a separate courtyard and no one is allowed in or out."
Dr. Cao didn't know what kind of illness Nanny Xi had, but the prince told her that he must have his intentions, so he agreed.
After meeting Uncle Di Guo, they exchanged polite greetings and immediately served wine.
He was so quick and just toasting, the imperial doctor Cao paid attention. After drinking for three rounds, he pretended to be a little drunk.
When Uncle Di Guo saw this, he put down his wine glass, rambled for a while, and then asked: "By the way, people outside said that Aunt Xi, who used to serve the Supreme Emperor, has now gone to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to serve. Mr. Cao and
Is she familiar?"
When Doctor Cao heard that he was really asking about Grandma Xi, he felt that the Crown Prince had the ability to predict the future. He nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma Xi is indeed serving the Crown Princess. I occasionally talk to her."
, but not very familiar.”
Uncle Di Guo chuckled, then raised the wine bottle to pour wine for him, "I heard that she was sick, is she fine now?"
Dr. Cao shook his head, "I don't know, the princess locked her in a small courtyard and didn't allow anyone to come in or out. Even the food was put in through the window."
When Uncle Di Guo heard this, he was very surprised, "Why? What kind of disease is this? It has to be closed and no one is allowed in or out? Could it be that it is tuberculosis?"
The imperial doctor thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't sound like tuberculosis. I've never heard of her coughing."
"It's not tuberculosis, what kind of disease is it? Why are we still locked up?" Uncle Di Guo guided the half-drunk Dr. Cao, "Only contagious diseases require isolation."
Doctor Cao's expression suddenly changed, "What Uncle Guo said made me think of the official's memory of the time when the Crown Princess suddenly came to ask me about leprosy more than a month ago."
Uncle Di Guo's eyes moved, and he continued to pour wine and toast, "Here, have another drink."
Dr. Cao waved his hand and said, "I won't drink anymore. I'm too drunk."
Uncle Di Guo pushed the cup to him, "You can't get drunk even if you drink less than three or four kilograms. It's not the first time I've had wine with you, so don't be disrespectful by drinking this drink."
Dr. Cao hesitated and drank another glass.
Uncle Di Guo put down his wine glass, looked at Dr. Cao and asked, "At that time, did you ever ask the Crown Princess who got leprosy?"
