Such an aristocratic family usually has Xinglin experts they are familiar with to diagnose and treat them. How could a little-known, newly-opened small medical clinic like theirs welcome such a behemoth?
Even if he was a servant in his house and had an appointment with a doctor, why couldn't he go to his hospital? Gu Chengchi was puzzled.
Li Lang was startled. His hands at his sides were clenched into fists, and his heart clenched involuntarily.
Gu Chengchi couldn't make up his mind. He glanced at Mr. Li and had doubts in his heart.
Gu Chengchi's hesitant expression was noticed by Manager Sun, and his face darkened.
"What? The majestic Duke's Palace can't afford to hire a doctor from your medical clinic?"
Gu Chengchi quickly apologized, thinking that no matter what the reason was, he still had to make this trip.
After all, the patient is a guest, so there is no reason to kick the patient out.
Besides, if they can cure patients, then maybe their medical clinic can become the doctor appointed by the government, which can be regarded as building momentum for the medical clinic.
"What did Manager Sun say? Please wait a moment while I go get the medical kit."
Gu Chengchi quickly agreed without waiting for Li Langzhong to speak.
They can't afford to offend the Zhenguogongfu and their medical clinic. They can stop them from opening in the capital with just a few words.
Manager Sun was very satisfied. He sat down and then looked at Mr. Li.
Li Langzhong recovered from his surprise and quickly followed Gu Chengchi into the inner hall.
"There will be trouble when we go to the Zhenguo Palace. You stay in the hospital while I go!"
He clenched his fist and said to Gu Chengchi who was packing the medicine box.
Gu Chengchi smiled and looked up at his master, "Master! It's better for me to go! I can't always hide behind you. This time is also an experience."
Gu Chengchi said this sincerely. This time, Master is by his side to help, but what about next time?
The teacher still plans to return to Jingyuan Mansion. What if the master is not here? This will happen sooner or later.
Besides, his medical skills have improved a lot in the past few years. As long as it's not difficult and complicated diseases, he can still be somewhat sure of it.
If it is really a difficult and complicated disease, then the person must have hired many doctors, and no one can criticize him if he cannot cure it.
Mr. Li's expression was somewhat excited. He stepped forward and grabbed the medicine box, "I'll go with it! Have you ever thought about why the manager came to our hospital to invite us instead of inviting a familiar doctor?"
There must be something hidden in it. Your qualifications are still too low, so it would be just right for me to go."
Gu Chengchi was startled by Li Langzhong's actions. He felt that his master was a little abnormal.
But then he thought that this matter might really involve the underworld of a wealthy family. These masters had told him before, but he hadn't thought of it just now.
Presumably the master is worried about him. It would be bad if he loses the name of the medical clinic.
Besides, he is too young, so it is difficult to gain the trust of others. Secondly, it is still somewhat inconvenient.
There are many female relatives in wealthy families. If he encounters young female relatives, although he can diagnose and treat them through the curtain, it is not convenient after all.
Thinking of this, Gu Chengchi stopped trying to persuade him.
Mr. Li had already turned around to pack his medicine box. He opened the medicine box and saw a small porcelain bottle inside.
He opened the porcelain bottle, took a look, and poured out the pills inside. It was a small black pill, and it also gave off a strange fragrance.
After stuffing the pills into the small porcelain bottle, Mr. Li wrapped the bottle in cotton cloth and carefully put it in his arms.
"Master, this?" Gu Chengchi was a little surprised. This pill is so precious to Master! How could he be willing to take it out?
This pill was refined by Mr. Li based on the one given by Gu Chengyu back then. It took him five years and a lot of medicinal materials wasted during this period to refine it.
However, this pill is much less effective than the one Gu Chengyu gave him at the beginning, and it lacks several medicinal ingredients.
It wasn't that Mr. Li didn't know how to make it, but that there were some medicinal ingredients that he couldn't taste at all.
Helpless, he could only find other medicinal materials instead. After five years of painstaking research, he finally made this pill.
Although it is not as good as the original one, the effect is definitely much better than ordinary medicine.
It's a pity that several of the medicines here are very precious. All his savings over the years, except for leaving some for his apprentice and daughter, have been spent on these medicines.
"If I come back late, you should inform your wife and say that I went to see a doctor. Remember! Don't tell me which house I went to."
This request of Mr. Li made Gu Chengchi very strange, but he agreed in the end.
"Master, I will wait for an hour and a half and let the boy from Xiaobao's house pick you up."
Gu Chengchi was still a little worried. What his master had just said made him feel uneasy, as he was afraid that his master would be involved in disputes at other people's houses.
They are just ordinary people, and the only one they can rely on is Xiaobao.
But Xiaobao is only in the sixth rank now, how can he compare with the Duke's Mansion?
Mr. Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Gu Chengchi watched Mr. Li climb onto Manager Sun's carriage, but his heart felt heavy.
The carriage drove away, leaving Gu Chengchi with a worried look on his face.
Gu Chengyu arrived at Yin's house in a carriage. Yin Kun had just returned from visiting another house.
As soon as Gu Chengyu arrived at the Yin Mansion, he was taken to the outer study room.
"Have you heard about the assassination of the eldest prince?" Yin Kunfu talked about it as soon as he sat down.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "I heard about it in the Hanlin Academy today. What is going on? Does senior brother know the inside story?"
Yin Kun poured a cup of tea for Gu Chengyu and then said: "I don't know why the eldest prince went to Hejian Mansion. Just two days ago, the eldest prince was suddenly stabbed when he returned to Beijing. It is said that the injury was quite serious.
.When he returned to the capital, he was sent to the palace. The emperor was very angry and ordered that the matter must be thoroughly investigated."
"Then was there someone who responded at that time? Who was the person who responded? Was the eldest prince awake?" Gu Chengyu felt that since it was an assassination, there must be more than one expert sent.
Since the eldest prince was injured, it was obvious that he did not expect such a thing to happen.
Someone must have taken care of it, otherwise I don’t know if he would have come back alive.
"Still unconscious. He was stabbed in the chest and lost a lot of blood. You may not guess the person who responded, but he was a lieutenant in the third prince's house."
Gu Chengyu was really surprised this time. The third prince was the target of suspicion, but he rescued the eldest prince. This was really incredible!
"How could it be such a coincidence? Did Zuoling pass by that place?"
Gu Chengyu thinks this is too coincidental, right? It can't be because Na Zuoling has been following the eldest prince and found that he was injured, and then took action to protect him, right?
"I also think it's a coincidence. Moreover, the eldest prince's trip to the capital this time is a secret matter. Logically speaking, no one knows about it. What Zuoling said is indeed a coincidence, because he had already reported it eight days ago.
I took family leave and went back to my hometown to visit my relatives. When I rescued the eldest prince, he was about to return to his hometown, and the three parties bumped into each other."
