Zhao Kun just glanced at Du Laoliu who was running like a monkey.
Then he nodded slightly towards Cheng Chubi, who was walking quickly towards him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the exaggerated low voice of His Highness King Wu.
Then he looked at Du Laoliu in surprise, and saw this guy who seemed to be walking and running as usual, with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes, nodding and bowing and saluting in this direction.
"I have seen two officials."
Mr. Du naturally recognized the King of Wu, Li Ke, who had passed a few steps in front of him. Although he did not know Zhao Kun, seeing his posture and demeanor, it was right to call him an official after all.
"Your Highness...is he him?" Zhao Kun asked Li Ke in a low voice.
Li Ke nodded crazily and circled around Du Laoliu with a click of his tongue.
His expression was curious and surprised, as if he was examining the handsome and appetizing young man who had caught the eye of this romantic prince.
Du Laoliu was frightened when he saw this sinister-looking man, and his figure became even more stooped.
"Come here, expose your legs for these two officials to take a look at... Could you please stop unbuttoning your waistband and pick it up from underneath?"
Cheng Chubi scolded Du Laoliudao, who behaved too stiffly, with a black look on his face, and promptly stopped him from acting like a hooligan in front of three grown men.
Soon, Zhao Kun saw the long, ferocious scar on Du Laoliu's calf, which looked like a centipede lying there.

Outside the Imperial Medical Office, not far away on the second floor of the tea shop, the guards around Li Shimin had already paid to send away the chattering guests on the second floor.
The couple sat on the second floor near the window, sipping the ordinary-tasting tea soup and looking at the Imperial Medical Office not far away.
Queen Changsun looked at her husband who, after Zhao Kun and Ke'er left, had glanced in the direction of the Imperial Medical Office every few breaths.
It seems that her husband's level of nervousness and anticipation is no less than her own, or even more so.
But on weekdays, when he saw Cheng Qian, he behaved like a superior and subordinate, which really made Empress Changsun quite helpless.
He filled the pot with tea soup for Li Shimin and gave him gentle advice.
"Husband, don't worry. They have only been in for a short while. They will appear soon."
"Hmm, my husband is a little anxious..." Li Shimin turned his head, forced a smile at Empress Changsun, and couldn't help but glance around.
Seeing that in this empty second floor, in addition to a dozen guards, there were just a few squatting couches, I couldn't help but frown and muttered in a low voice.
"Why is there not even a drip? How long has it been since that Guanyin maid?"
Seeing that this man who always likes to look at the dripping of copper kettles whenever something happens starts again, Empress Changsun raised her hand to touch her forehead and whispered.
"...It's not even a moment yet, husband."
"Hmm, I'm just asking. Hey... look, Ke'er and Cheng Laosan are out."
Looking back, Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he saw someone coming out of the Imperial Medical Office.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin saw his confidant Zhao Kun walking out of the Imperial Medical Office with a young man who nodded and bowed, but looked dry and skinny.
"Could that be Du Laoliu?" The low voice of Guanyin Maid came from beside him.
"That should be the case...could it be that everything is really healed?"
Li Shimin straightened his spine, took a deep breath, and wished he could go downstairs to see it for real.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke entered the teahouse together, went straight to the second floor, and saw the guards scattered around, as well as Li Shimin and Empress Changsun dressed as ordinary rich gentry.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "I've seen my uncle and my aunt. Du Laoliu is down there right now. Why don't you let him come up?"
"Well, let him come up quickly." Li Shimin had already stood up and could not continue to sit calmly.
After a short while, Du Laoliu walked up the steps tremblingly. He glanced around and saw the distinguished middle-aged couple.
He also saw the guards around him standing with swords in their hands and guarding them with murderous intent, and he became more and more frightened.
"Du Laoliu, come here." At this time, the handsome middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing smiled and waved at him.
Du Laoliu hurriedly ran forward a few steps, and then prostrated himself to the ground very quickly. "I have seen the noble officials and the madam."
"I heard that my nephew cured your leg. I was curious and came here to have a look..."
"Thanks to Mr. Cheng's kindness, I don't have to be crippled for the rest of my life." Du Laoliu replied honestly.
Soon, he once again revealed his leg with a scar like a big centipede.
Empress Changsun looked at Du Laoliu, who had such a long scar on his leg but was walking and jumping in front of her.
The stone that has been hanging in my heart for a long time can finally fall to the ground with peace of mind.
Li Shimin was also very happy and asked Du Laoliu some questions in a pleasant manner.
At the end, Li Shimin whispered instructions to Zhao Kun on the side.
"Give him thirty guan of money. In addition, inform Chang'an County. If there are no other bad deeds, he will be released."
After giving a few instructions, Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Du Laoliu in front of him.
"It's thanks to Cheng Sanlang that your leg injury can be healed. I hope you get the money, return home soon, make a living honestly, and don't cause any more trouble..."
Du Laoliu was overjoyed and fell to the ground, kowtowed and thanked him repeatedly, and happily left the teahouse with the guards appointed by Zhao Kun.
Seeing Du Laoliu leaving, Li Shimin said quietly in his heart, you are relying on the prince's blessing.

Empress Changsun personally handed Cheng Chubi a bowl of tea soup, admiring Cheng Sanlang, who had a new approach to medicine, and was very kind and polite.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear nephew. It's me and your uncle who underestimated your ability, my dear nephew.
It’s actually possible to do this. It’s hard to believe unless you see it with your own eyes.”
"Auntie, there is no need to praise you so much. In fact, my nephew can understand your and uncle's thoughts very well.
Many things, related to the safety of loved ones, are ultimately worse than seeing them with your own eyes."
"Yes, that's the truth." Li Shimin nodded approvingly.
Rarely, I didn't feel uncomfortable like in the past when I couldn't say more than three sentences without criticizing Cheng Laosan.
"Okay, I saw Du Laoliu recovering today. I feel more at ease. I feel confident that it will be easier to handle."
"Mr. Guanyin, we have free time today. How about going to visit the grass market in Chang'an? Although it is not big, it has a unique flavor."
Empress Changsun smiled sweetly. "Everything is decided by your husband..."
Although Cheng Chubi was a little confused as to why Li Shimin didn't make the decision immediately, he wisely did not raise any questions of his own.
He said goodbye to the tea shop together with Li Ke. When he arrived at the door of the tea shop, Li Ke looked around, as if the heavy shackles on his body had been lifted, and he felt relaxed.
"Brother, everything is fine, why don't we go for a walk?"
