Chapter 184 Condition improves
Chapter 184: The Condition Improves

"Yes, there is no harm anyway. Besides, Doctor Hua is the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital and has superb medical skills. It would be a good idea to ask him to check your pulse again, Earl Chengyi."

Ye Xuan also picked up the teacup and said with a smile.

When Hu Weiyong heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he seemed very satisfied with Ye Xuan's attitude.

Hua Yuan's face turned red.

If it were in the past, even if Ye Xuan said this two days ago, he would think that this was a way of giving in to him.

But listening to it now, it is indeed extremely harsh.

Yes, he was a skilled doctor and was the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but he was helpless against Liu Bowen's illness. However, Ye Xuan, a Jinyiwei who only had a rough understanding of medicine, cured the man with just a first-grade potion.

Isn't this irony to the core? Hua Yuan was even a little worried about how he would face people when he returned to Yingtian Prefecture.

However, as Liu Bowen nodded in agreement, Hua Yuan no longer had the mind to think about anything else. He stood up, walked to Liu Bowen and began to take his pulse.

After a while, Hua Yuan had to admit: "The old man's condition has improved greatly, but his pulse is still a little weak. Wait for me to prescribe some Qi-replenishing prescriptions to warm him up for a while and he will be fine."

But as soon as he said this, he looked at Ye Xuan with some embarrassment.

The person who actually cured the patient is sitting here without saying anything, but I, who am just there to make up the story, am asking you to prescribe a prescription. Isn't that ridiculous?

At this time, Hu Weiyong said again: "Captain Ye, what do you think? Do you have any warming and nourishing prescriptions that you can prescribe? I hope that Earl Chengyi can get well soon."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I really only have a rough understanding of it. This medicine was passed down to me by my mentor to protect my house. As for the others, I really know nothing about them, let alone prescribe a prescription."

"If you really want me to prescribe a prescription, I'm afraid I can only prescribe a stewed hen with old mountain ginseng."

These witty remarks immediately made everyone laugh.

Even the pale-faced Earl Chengyi smiled and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Hua."

Hua Yuan was flattered and said, "It is my responsibility, I dare not refuse."

Liu Lian took out a pen and ink, and Hua Yuan wrote down a prescription in a short while. He handed it to Liu Lian and explained how to take the medicine.

Several people were chatting and laughing in the yard, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

However, Liu Bowen had not yet recovered, and after just chatting for a while, he showed signs of fatigue.

Ye Xuan and Hu Weiyong immediately stood up and said goodbye. Liu Bowen did not try to keep them. However, when Ye Xuan was the last one to leave, Liu Bowen suddenly called out to her.

Ye Xuan turned to look at the legendary strategist, only to see that Liu Bowen's eyes were filled with love and peace, and he said solemnly: "Little Brother Ye, thank you very much!"

Ye Xuan didn't take it too seriously, thinking that this Earl of Sincerity was approachable and didn't put on airs and knew how to be grateful, so he smiled and said, "It's just my job to be with Imperial Doctor Hua, so you don't have to be polite, Mr. Liu."

Liu Bowen didn't say anything more, just smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan nodded and left the courtyard.

I thought Hu Weiyong and Hua Yuan, who had left earlier, had already left, but when I came to a small courtyard, I saw Hu Weiyong standing not far away, looking at me with a smile on his face.

Ye Xuan took a few quick steps, came to Hu Weiyong and saluted, saying: "Prime Minister Hu, are you waiting for me?" Hu Weiyong nodded and said with a smile: "It is true that heroes emerge from youth, and great nations produce great talents! Seeing you, I can no longer deny my age."

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Minister Hu? I still have a lot to learn from you."

It’s not that Ye Xuan is trying to curry favor with the powerful, but Hu Weiyong is the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat, second only to the emperor, and he won’t die if he says a few polite words.

But if you act in a rebellious manner, you will really die a miserable death.

Obviously Hu Weiyong was very satisfied with Ye Xuan's tact, and for the first time ever he patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you are very good. I am very optimistic about you."

"It's a pity that you are serving in the Jinyiwei. If you were in the imperial court, I could promote you."

At this point, his eyes flickered, and he said meaningfully: "If Brother Ye is interested, I can talk to the emperor about this and have you removed from the Imperial Guard. Then, whether you are sent to a remote place or serve in the court, isn't it much better than living a miserable life in the Imperial Guard?"

Ye Xuan did not show any excitement when he heard this. He just bowed and said, "Thank you, Minister Hu, for your kindness. However, I am doing very well in Jinyiwei and have no plans to be transferred out. I really failed Minister Hu's kindness!"

Hu Weiyong seemed to have guessed that Ye Xuan would say this. He did not look annoyed or unhappy at all. Instead, he said with great appreciation: "I like young people like you who are not greedy for pleasure the most."

"When we get back to Yingtian, if you have time, feel free to come to my residence for tea."

When these words were spoken, Hua Yuan on the side was suddenly shocked. He looked at Hu Weiyong in disbelief, and then at Ye Xuan.

Being personally invited by the prime minister of the time, if this were to be made known, it would undoubtedly cause a new stir in the court.

Not to mention that the man was just a small captain of the Jinyiwei, only a fifth-rank official.

Ye Xuan made a flattered expression and quickly replied, "When I return to Yingtian Prefecture, I will definitely visit Prime Minister Hu's residence to bother him."

Hu Weiyong seemed very satisfied with Ye Xuan's attitude. He nodded and left with Hua Yuan.

However, after Hu Weiyong left, Ye Xuan looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.

…………

That night, in Liu Bowen’s courtyard.

Liu Lian was personally decocting medicine for his old father. While decocting the medicine, he said in a good mood: "Father, I never thought that Jinyiwei was so talented that there was even a genius doctor like Ye Xuan among them."

"It's all thanks to him, otherwise I don't know what to do!"

Liu Bowen, lying in a rocking chair covered with a blanket, looked at the light in the stove and said, "Life is like this charcoal fire, it will go out sooner or later. Even if your father is really gone, you don't have to be too sad, Lian'er."

When Liu Lian heard this, his brows immediately frowned.

Putting down the palm-leaf fan he was using to fan the fire, he said, "Father, what are you talking about? Even ordinary people know that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Moreover, now that we have Ye Xuan's magic medicine, your illness will soon be cured."

Liu Bowen did not refute, but just looked at the fire in the stove with an inexplicable smile on his face.

It seems like a kind of pleasure of impending liberation.
