Chapter 374 Many Coincidences Must Be Suspicious
Dr. Yuan seems to have an innate ability to balance the body's internal state. If he were compared to an embroiderer, the flowers he embroiders would surely be the most exquisite.
Knowing that the He siblings must be anxious, Zhao Lingyin didn't keep them in suspense. She looked at them earnestly and said, "General He, there is hope."
He Wuyang was overjoyed: "Thank you..."
"Does Dr. Zhao have something else to say?"
Zhao Lingyin sighed softly.
He Wuyang was sweating profusely: "Dr. Zhao, please speak frankly!"
"General He is quite old, and the damage to his body from this poisoning is irreversible. I can only guarantee that the poison can be neutralized, but no one can be sure about his condition after the poisoning is neutralized."
He Wuyu closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to reveal the panic he felt in that instant.
"Just do your best."
Chief Zhao hurriedly replied, "I came in a hurry. His Majesty and His Highness asked me to bring some medicinal herbs and tonics. More will be sent later, so General He, please rest assured."
The emperor outside the light screen suddenly said, "Filial ruler."
"The minister is here."
"Once General He has overcome this hurdle, let him return to the capital to recuperate."
Li Xiaojun suddenly looked up.
The emperor must be aware of the significance of General He to the Great Yong and Liaozhou.
In these turbulent times, will General He's departure leave the soldiers of Liaozhou feeling lost? Will it give the Brown Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
As for General He's health...
The old general is important, but compared to the entire Dayong Dynasty, he is insignificant.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind, but on the surface he only said respectfully, "That's good. This way, General He can fight with peace of mind. Hehe, let the Brown Kingdom see that our Great Yong Dynasty has produced talented people in every generation, and we don't lack capable juniors!"
The emperor was indeed pleased by his flattery.
"General He has worked hard for the Great Yong Dynasty all his life. It is time for him to return to the capital to enjoy his retirement and see the wheat planted by his grandson."
After having this thought, the emperor began to blame himself for not letting General He return sooner.
In the capital, within his sphere of influence, he would certainly not allow General He to encounter such a predicament.
In the light screen, Doctor Yuan gritted his teeth and promised, "The old general's health is in my hands! Most of the patients I treat are elderly, and no one knows better than me how to treat people of this age. In the past, we didn't have the means, but now, with His Majesty and His Highness backing us up, we can finally enjoy the luxury of having expensive medicines in our hands and thousands of taels of gold flowing like water!"
He tried to make it sound lighthearted, but as fellow doctors, the Zhao father and daughter knew very well the weight of his words.
A patient's condition can change rapidly, and no one can guarantee that no unexpected events will occur during the treatment process.
Therefore, they often say they are 70% certain when they are 100% certain, leaving 30% leeway, which can avoid a lot of trouble.
The reason why Dr. Yuan made such a boast is quite simple.
Because the person lying in the room was General He, and in front of him was the person in charge of the Liaozhou army.
He was willing to take this risk for the sake of the heroes of Dayong.
Chief Zhao's eyes flickered slightly: "That's right! General He, Young Master He, rest assured, I will take good care of General He as if he were a young lady! If I can't even save General He's life, I might as well quit being the chief of the hospital!"
Zhao Lingyin really wanted to ask him what trouble he was causing.
Is it possible for him to simply resign from his position as head of the academy?
However, seeing her usually composed father so unusually ambitious, she shook her head and didn't try to discourage him.
Moved, He Wuyu pulled He Wuyang down and knelt firmly before them: "I entrust my grandfather's health to you all. Please do your best..."
Caught off guard by the sudden pull, He Wuyang fell flat on his face.
He raised his head, still a little dazed, but subconsciously agreed: "That's right, yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Lingyin waved her hand: "I hate these formalities the most. Get up."
He Wuyu believed that she had no other merits except that she listened to the doctor, so she scooped up her younger brother who was struggling to get up.
He Wuyang was being pulled and tugged around by her, making him dizzy and disoriented, but he was already a mature adult, and he didn't panic even when he was embarrassed: "Dr. Zhao, when can we begin the detoxification?"
Zhao Lingyin looked at her father and Doctor Yuan: "Is tomorrow feasible?"
The detoxification process requires their assistance, but after a long and arduous journey, she feared that her elderly father might not be able to hold the silver needles properly.
No one else objected, and the matter was settled.
The three top doctors came up with a prescription, but when He Wuyu got his hands on it, he found that two ingredients were missing.
These two medicinal herbs grow in the south. Although they can be used for detoxification, they have no other effects. Therefore, pharmacies in Liaozhou usually only keep one or two plants on hand.
Based on General He's condition, Dr. Yuan had prepared two lists in advance, which contained all the medicines that General He might need.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huichun looked on with admiration: "I am far inferior to Brother Yuan!"
Zhao Lingyin nodded: "If Doctor Yuan had a father who was a royal physician like me, his achievements would probably be greater than mine."
"You flatter me. I just travel a lot and see a lot of patients. I'm self-taught, so my potential is limited. I can only make up for my shortcomings by being more careful," Dr. Yuan said. He knew they were exaggerating, but everyone likes to hear nice things. He waved his hand, too embarrassed to accept their praise. "It's strange, we asked all the pharmacies in Liaozhou, but we couldn't find these two herbs."
He Wuyang suddenly looked up, alert, and asked, "What's going on?"
"In short, there will be all sorts of accidents, and the reasons are not all the same. The medicinal herbs... will either be bought up or destroyed in an accident."
He Wuyang frowned: "Sister, do you believe this is a coincidence?"
He Wuyu's lips curled into a mocking smile.
There aren't that many coincidences in this world.
The medicinal herbs were always in good condition in the pharmacy, so why did they disappear just when my grandfather was poisoned and needed the medicine?
And this isn't just happening in one or two households.
"When I first noticed the anomaly, I sent people to investigate. The people who tried to intercept these two medicinal herbs were all dead, leaving no trace."
Although Brown Country's actions were somewhat harsh, they were indeed effective.
He Wuyang slammed his fist on the table next to him: "They just want to kill Grandfather!"
He was extremely grateful that Doctor Yuan happened to be in Liaozhou, otherwise his grandfather would have certainly died this time.
But that wasn't enough for them; they even wanted to cut off my grandfather's path to survival.
“If we can’t find it in Liaozhou, we’ll look in Dongzhou and Xizhou! There’s always a way out,” Zhao Huichun said earnestly. “We will do our best to keep the old general alive.”
The ministers outside the light screen were also in an uproar.
The Third Prince clapped his hands and sneered, "The Brown Kingdom is really something! Every one of their servants is dead. Isn't Qi Yongji afraid of running out of people to use in the future?"
Yes, although there is no conclusive evidence, people in Liaozhou, Zheng Jiao, He Wuyu, and the capital have reached the same conclusion—that the person behind General He's poisoning is Qi Yongji.
