Chapter 1318 - 180, Frost Pavilion_2
Knowing Xiao Linshuang was Lao Fan’s disciple, Wang Dahai and his wife didn’t bother to hold anything back when talking. Although Linshuang had known the couple for more than a day or two, the content of their conversation still greatly surprised her.
It turned out that Wang Dahai’s father, Wang Jishan, had been a good friend of Lao Fan for many years and both had served as Palace Doctors. Before Consort Tian had the Sixth Prince, she had once been pregnant with another child. At that time, Consort Shu was the favored one, and given her friendship with Consort Tian, it naturally made Consort Liu very uneasy. Therefore, Consort Liu secretly took measures to terminate Consort Tian’s pregnancy. It was much later after recovering for a long time that Consort Tian had the Sixth Prince. That’s why she now watched over the Sixth Prince like a mad woman, fearing something might happen to him.
Causing a miscarriage for a concubine was no trivial matter, of course, they needed a suitable scapegoat. Thus, the Imperial Physician responsible for caring for Consort Tian back then became the perfect scapegoat. And this Imperial Physician was none other than Wang Dahai’s father, Wang Jishan.
As expected, Wang Jishan was covertly threatened by Consort Liu to take the blame himself, and not long after, Wang Jishan’s wife died of depression, leaving behind only their son, Wang Dahai. Initially, Wang Dahai had no intention of learning medicine, but upon seeing the notes his father had left, documenting his lifelong medical knowledge, he was eventually moved.
Later, with Lao Fan’s guidance, Wang Dahai’s medical skills surpassed even those of Wang Jishan. However, he always held a grudge about his father being framed and no longer associated with the wealthy and influential families. Especially since, when the incident involving Wang Jishan happened, the officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau acted as if they knew nothing, he even stopped trusting other medics.
Hearing this, Xiao Linshuang finally understood the conversation she had overheard when she first visited the Hall of Salvation with Du Ruo. It turned out that the old man who had come to visit Wang Dahai and was turned away was not just anyone; he was actually the former head of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He had already retired to civilian life, but the incident from many years ago still unsettled him, and he sought forgiveness from the descendants of Wang Jishan.
How could Wang Dahai easily forgive the old man for a tragedy that led to the ruin of his family?
Thinking this way, Xiao Linshuang understood the thoughts of Wang Dahai.
But, Consort Tian...
Linshuang knitted her brows and pondered. Consort Tian was the mother of the Sixth Prince. It was due to her losing a child that so many incidents had occurred. She wondered if Wang Dahai would blame Consort Tian for any of this.
