Chapter 372 - 132: Seeing a Patient
Guan Jingshuo was not in good health, so he always traveled by carriage instead of on horseback. Midway, Guan Jingshuo said to Ning Shaoming, "Shaoming, I have a favor to ask of you." After what happened last time, he did not want the people of the Marquis’ household to know he was seeking a doctor. To shake them off, he needed Ning Shaoming to cover for him.
Guan Jingshuo and Ning Shaoming were close as brothers, not to mention hiding a little secret, even if it meant facing a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, he wouldn’t bat an eye.
With Ning Shaoming’s cover, things naturally went smoothly. Guan Jingshuo left through another door of the Qingfeng Bookhouse.
Guan Jingshuo returned to Capital City with Heping and after much inquiry, finally found the Doctor Li from the Herbarium Hall whom Yueyao had mentioned.
Upon arriving at the Herbarium Hall, as soon as the shop assistant heard he was looking for Doctor Li, he immediately shouted loudly for Doctor Li. The man who emerged was dressed in dusty grey clothes, plump, and about thirty years old. This man was still stretching and looked half asleep, as though he had just woken up when he saw Guan Jingshuo.
Heping stared wide-eyed, "El... Young Master, is this the doctor we’ve been looking for all this time?" Could such a doctor possess exceptional medical skills? Heping was certain their Young Master had been deceived.
Guan Jingshuo was immensely surprised as well; this was a far cry from any doctor he had seen before. If the shop assistant hadn’t confirmed repeatedly that this was indeed Doctor Li, Guan Jingshuo would have thought he had encountered a charlatan.
Heping whispered, "Young Master, are you sure you haven’t been duped?" Could someone who looked nothing like a doctor cure their Young Master’s illness, which even the Imperial Physician couldn’t? It wasn’t doubt he felt, it was downright disbelief.
Guan Jingshuo had planned to look into this Doctor Li, but due to Lady Xiao Ning’s actions, he had become more cautious and decided to come find him himself instead of sending someone to investigate. Later, Guan Jingshuo was incredibly grateful that he came directly, rather than sending someone to inquire, because no one at the Marquis’ household knew, allowing him to see Doctor Li successfully and receive treatment.
