Chapter 120: Awkward
The rain was falling, not only did it not stop, but it was even heavier than before.
The eunuch caught up, opened the umbrella, and said attentively: "The rain is getting heavier, please walk slower, your highness, I will hold the umbrella for you..."
"No need!"
The Crown Prince interrupted the eunuch with a sullen face: "You go back first!"
The eunuch was stunned: "Your highness, it is still raining now, I have to hold the umbrella for you..."
"Go back!" The Crown Prince's voice was slightly higher, revealing a hint of anger.
The eunuch was startled and dared not say anything more. Just as he was about to put away the umbrella, the guard leader Wang Tong suddenly said: "Okay, give me the umbrella, you go back first!"
As he said, he took the umbrella from the eunuch.
The eunuch felt relieved and bowed and retreated.
Wang Tong held the umbrella steadily, and the raindrops fell on the umbrella surface and then dripped along the edge of the umbrella. From Wang Tong's perspective, he could only see half of the Crown Prince's profile.
The Crown Prince still pursed his lips, with no extra expression on his face.
Only those who are familiar with his temper can see that his mood at this time is not very good.
The Crown Prince did not say anything and kept walking forward.
Wang Tong did not dare to say anything to comfort him. He just raised his arm and held the umbrella, following the Crown Prince step by step. Seeing that he was about to reach the gate, the vermilion gate was already in sight, and the Crown Prince suddenly stopped.
Wang Tong is worthy of being a martial artist. He reacts quickly and sensitively. He stopped almost immediately: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Why did he stop suddenly again?
The Crown Prince did not turn around, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Wang Tong: "This king has good intentions, why doesn't she appreciate it?"
The "she" who refused to appreciate it was of course Miss Ling Jiu.
Wang Tong carefully considered his words: "It is common sense that women are delicate and changeable. Perhaps it is because Miss Ling Jiu has a strong self-esteem and does not want to always accept Your Highness's kindness. Your Highness does not need to take it to heart."
Yes!
When they first met, she was held hostage by a bandit, with a sharp knife against her back. Her life was hanging by a thread, but she didn't panic. She remained calm when several arrows were fired at her, and killed the bandit with a knife when the time was right!
It was common sense that such a courageous and stubborn girl would not want to accept his kindness again and again!
The Crown Prince figured it out, and his expression finally eased a lot.
Wang Tong saw that the Crown Prince's expression was slightly relieved, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Mr. Ling's eye disease cannot be cured in one day. In the future, they will visit her every few days, and there will be many opportunities to meet. Your Highness doesn't have to rush..."
"When did I want to see her? When was I too anxious?" The Crown Prince snorted and interrupted Wang Tong.
Wang Tong took over the conversation swiftly: "Yes, yes, yes, I am too nosy. Your Highness accidentally passed by the study today, and that's why you met the Ling siblings."
The Crown Prince: "..."
A suspicious dark red flashed across the Crown Prince's face, and he quickly recovered as usual, saying lightly: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to get angry with a girl. My father's health is important, I'd better go to the study and wait for a while to hear what Doctor Wei has to say."
Wang Tong: "..."
So, after walking a distance in anger, now that you've calmed down, you want to go back again?
Your Highness, Your Highness, you have such a weird temper, and you say one thing and mean another all day long. Do you know that it's hard to please a girl?
Of course, Wang Tong only dared to complain silently in his heart, and didn't dare to say a word. He smiled and agreed, turned around, and continued to hold the umbrella.
...
Doctor Wei carefully examined the prince's pulse, and asked about his recent food, clothing and daily life.
The eunuchs around the prince answered one by one.
Doctor Wei considered it for a while, and then wrote a new prescription for health care, and gave it to the eunuch beside him: "Stop the original decoction for now, and change to this one. Drink it for a few days and see."
The eunuch took the prescription respectfully with both hands and carefully put it away.
The prince was in good spirits today, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Doctor Wei."
Dr. Wei smiled and said: "It is my blessing to be able to diagnose and recuperate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
He is the emperor's full-time doctor, and he has been diagnosing and prescribing medicine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past two years. I don't know how many doctors are envious and jealous of him. Fortunately, he has superb medical skills, a great reputation, and a strong background. The doctors are secretly jealous, but no one dares to trip him up in public.
The prince asked again: "Is my father in good health recently?"
Because of his weak body and the need for rest, the prince only attends the big court meetings on the first and fifteenth of each month. He rarely attends the small court meetings to deal with government affairs every day, and most of them are replaced by the crown prince's grandson. Therefore, the prince and the emperor do not have many opportunities to meet.
Doctor Wei is in the palace, and he can see the emperor every day.
"The emperor caught a cold a few days ago, and he has been drinking medicine for a few days, and he is almost recovered." Doctor Wei smiled and replied, "Your Highness, don't worry."
As he was talking, a eunuch came to report, "The Crown Prince is here."
... Doctor Wei raised his eyebrows, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
Before, he lost face in front of him because of Miss Ling Jiu, but with the pride of the Crown Prince, he was willing to show up... It's really interesting!
The Crown Prince quickly stepped in. He greeted the prince first, and then looked at Doctor Wei: "Doctor Wei, you took my father's pulse today, how is his pulse?"
Wei Taiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness was seriously injured that day, and his body was greatly damaged. Now he has been resting and recuperating, so there is nothing serious. However, it is not advisable to take too much tonic. Otherwise, the deficiency will not be able to be supplemented and the deficiency fire will be strong."
"I just wrote a new prescription, changing to two mild medicinal herbs. The effect will be slower, but it will not hurt the body."
Never hurried, clear and orderly.
Although the words are gentle, there is a strange majesty that cannot be questioned.
The Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "I am sorry for the trouble of coming to Taiyi Wei."
After a pause, he said, "This king knows that Taiyi Wei lives in the palace and has no shortage of gold, silver and jade. When he left the capital a few days ago, he bought some rare and rare medicinal herbs. I hope Taiyi Wei will accept them."
Taiyi Wei did not refuse, and thanked for the reward.
Rewarding gold and silver is both vulgar and loses status. Since the Crown Prince said it was a rare medicinal material, how much it was worth was secondary, what was more important was that it was very hard to find.
Such a reward was naturally to his liking.
Then, Doctor Wei bowed and took his leave: "Young Master Ling is still waiting for me to give him acupuncture treatment, I will take my leave now."
The Crown Prince suddenly asked: "Is there any hope that Young Master Ling's eye disease can be cured?"
Doctor Wei replied frankly: "Not too sure, only 30%."
Only 30%?
The Crown Prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "What if it can't be cured?"
Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao have a deep relationship as siblings. If Ling Xiao's eye disease can't be cured, Ling Jingshu will definitely be very sad!
