The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"A letter from Wei Ze? Master, didn't you say that Wei Ze went home to visit relatives? I still remember to write you a letter. Could it be to greet New Year's Eve? But today is already the fifth day."

Wen Changheng didn't respond, and lowered his head to open the envelope to look at the contents. Xie Lingbai didn't know if he had read it wrong, but he always felt that there seemed to be a flash of surprise in Wen Changheng's eyes for a moment.

"What did Wei Ze say?"

"Eat first."

Wen Changheng put away the letter, and his usual indifference returned to his face. Xie Lingbai thought that he was really dazzled just now, probably because of drinking last night?

"Master, I heard that Yucaoxuan will resume business today, so I'm going to help out. I will definitely need to clean up on the first day."

In fact, the main reason is that he had been absent from work for too long before, if he didn't go, it is estimated that Uncle Gu would simply ignore him when calculating his wages in the future.

Although Wen Changheng gave him his seal, Xie Lingbai felt that it would be more at ease to spend the money he earned through hard work.

After he was full, he stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wen Changheng: "Let's go another day."

"Huh? Closed today?"

"I have something to tell you." Wen Changheng stood up and said, "Follow me..."

Xie Lingbai looked puzzled, as if what had happened was serious, he asked Xiaorui worriedly: "Xiaorui, didn't I cause trouble after I got drunk last night?"

"There is no trouble."

"You have something to say."

"Does it count if the master sings a tune for you?"

"Ah?" Xie Lingbai opened his mouth wide. He asked Wen Changheng to sing?how could it be possible!

"Not only that, the master washed your feet, and you even splashed water all over his body."

Xie Lingbai: "..."

"And then threw up all over the floor."

Xie Lingbai didn't want to go to the study any more, because he felt that he must be in danger. Did he really do these bastard things by himself?Why don't you have any impression? !

"No wonder I didn't look very good when I saw the master this morning. If I were tossed like this, I wouldn't be able to get better. It's over, why did I drink so much wine!"

"Ma'am, it's no use blaming yourself and regretting here now. The master has gone away. If he waits in a hurry later, he will be even more angry."

"Yes, yes, you are right, I will apologize to him now."

Xie Lingbai quickly turned around and ran towards the study room. Xie Jinqing, who was full, asked Xiaorui: "Sister Xiaorui, did Boss Wen throw my brother out last night?"

Xiaorui shook her head, and Xie Jinqing exclaimed: "It's really admirable. If I were Boss Wen, I would definitely throw him out."

"Second Young Master Xie, the relationship between your brothers is really "good"—"

"I'm helping the manager and not helping the relatives. Who made him always get drunk and trouble others. It was like this before. Every time, it was my mother who took care of him. Alas, he really didn't make any progress."

Several maids in the dining hall laughed, Xie Jinqing and Xie Lingbai had two completely different personalities.

Obviously, people like Xie Jinqing are more attractive. After all, when everyone mentions Young Master Xie, the first impression is that he is domineering and fierce.

Xie Lingbai lingered furtively at the door of the study for a while, thinking about how to apologize later, which would be more sincere?Sigh, would he do such outrageous things when he was drunk?

Leaving aside the other things, he didn't even dare to think about splashing Wen Changheng's footwashing water all over his body. For such a pampered master, it's very rare to serve him to wash his feet. He still...

Ah, it's unforgivable, let alone Wen Changheng, he can't even forgive himself!

"Are you standing at the door as a door god?!"

Wen Changheng asked a little impatiently, Xie Lingbai came back to his senses and hurried in, dawdled slowly to the desk, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and said: "Master, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I know you must I can't forgive me, I must reflect on it, and there will be no next time."

Wen Changheng looked at him with an expression of looking at a fool, Xie Lingbai said with a broken face: "I really know I was wrong, I promise I will never drink again in the future."

"When did your guarantee take effect?"

"I... Actually, I can't blame it all last night. You see Yundie is so pitiful, right? Although I didn't deal with him very much, we are familiar with each other anyway, and we should be comforted, right?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you about this." Wen Changheng handed the letter in his hand to Xie Lingbai, and Xie Lingbai took it and opened it with some puzzlement.

"Isn't this the letter from Wei Ze? Let me read..." He stopped suddenly when he said this, and then stared at the contents of the letter in surprise.

"I didn't intend to intervene in your family's affairs at first, because I thought you should handle them yourself, but being assassinated again and again made me think that perhaps the forces behind it should not be underestimated. Of course, you can still take revenge with your own hands, I I just asked my friends to inquire about some content."

"Master, what does it mean? What is the relationship between Xie Yang, the imperial physician who disappeared 19 years ago, and my father?"

"I have a trustworthy friend named Murong Ningzhu. He is also an imperial physician. I originally wanted him to secretly investigate your father and who in the imperial hospital would have an enmity."

"So this Xie Yang might have a grudge against my father?"

Wen Changheng shook his head: "I suspect that this Xie Yang is your father Xie Sheng'an."

"what?"

Xie Lingbai was really shocked this time. When he saw the content mentioned in the letter just now, he hadn't thought of it. He just thought that maybe his father had offended this man named Xie Yang.

"Master, why... why do you think so?"

"It's just a guess."

"If you're not sure, you certainly wouldn't have made this guess so easily. Have you discovered anything that I don't know?"

"The belt badge you picked up in the ruins of the Xie Family Medical Center was the belt badge of the Tai Hospital."

"You told me that at the time, didn't you?"

"Yes, but that is the previous waist card. Murong mentioned in the letter that the hospital's waist card was completely replaced three years ago, so the current waist card is somewhat different from that one."

Xie Lingbai read the letter carefully again, and found that this was indeed mentioned. He thought for a while and said, "So, master, you suspect that the waist card I picked up back then is actually my father's?"

"That's right, let's assume that your father is Xie Yang, the former imperial physician, who left the imperial city for some reason and came to Xixia City to live incognito.

Because he disappeared suddenly, he didn't resign from his position as an imperial physician and return his waist card, so he naturally brought out that waist card and kept it all the time. "

"But I have never seen it, and I have never heard my father mention that he used to be an imperial physician."

"Since it disappeared suddenly, something serious must have happened. It was for your sake that you kept it from you. The people in the city praised your father for his good medical skills, so it is not surprising to say that he is an imperial physician based on his attainments in medical skills. "

After hearing this, Xie Lingbai felt that his mind was a little confused. These things were completely beyond his imagination. How could his father be the imperial physician in the palace?Haven't they always lived in Xixia City?

"I have been in Xixia City since I can remember, and I have never heard anyone mention that we came from other places."

"People mentioned it when you were a child, and you may have forgotten it. Besides, your father's reputation here is extremely high. People usually mention him and talk about medical skills. Naturally, they rarely mention other things."

"If my father is really an imperial doctor, why would he suddenly leave the palace to open a medical clinic in this high mountain and far away city of Xixia? And why did those people refuse to let go after so many years? Where's my dad?"

"I'm not sure about this yet."

Although Wen Changheng had some guesses in his mind, but there was no proof, so he didn't want to say it to increase Xie Lingbai's troubles, Xie Lingbai walked over and sat beside him, sighing: "Master, this matter was quite complicated at first, but now it seems It seems to be more complicated, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything by then."

"Where was your drive to go to the Imperial Hospital to find out the truth when you swore at the beginning?"

"Even if I become an imperial physician, I may not be able to find out the truth. Think about it, my father is an imperial physician. He is different from you because someone hunted him down.

So coming to Xixia City should be regarded as fleeing for his life. What kind of person can have such power?If it was just an ordinary Jianghu assassination, my father would definitely not have to run around. "

Because it is more dangerous to flee to a remote town, it is better to be safer at the feet of the emperor, but now that he has escaped from the imperial city, it means that this matter must have involved forces that he cannot resist.

"Master, tell me, is it possible that the emperor wanted to kill my father in a fit of anger because of something wrong when he was treating the emperor?"

"will not."

"Why?"

Wen Changheng explained: "If the emperor wanted to kill your father, it would be as easy as flipping one's palm. Even if your father fled to the ends of the earth, he could just issue a warrant, but for so many years, no one has heard of a criminal named Xie Yang in the imperial court. "

"That's right, since it's not the emperor, who could it be? The royal family and nobles? Or the court officials? But no matter which side it is, it seems that I can't afford it."

"So? Are you ready to give up?"

Xie Lingbai stared at the letter for a while, then shook his head, and said firmly: "I said before the grave of my parents that I would definitely find out the truth, so I won't give up halfway. And, as I said before, even if If I give up, they won't let me and Xiao Jin go, I'm just a little worried, if the other party is really powerful, will it hurt the Wen family?"

As he spoke, he looked at Wen Changheng with some concern, and said, "Master, I don't want to harm you."

Wen Changheng smiled, held his hand and said, "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about yourself, Xie Lingbai, with all due respect, with your current medical skills, it is far from enough to enter the Imperial Hospital."

"I'm just learning. Besides, if I fail the selection meeting, it's because you, the master, can't do it!"

"When did I become your master?"

"Then you taught me my medical skills, so I can be regarded as half a master?"

"I don't accept apprentices who are too stupid, you, forget it."

"Cut, stop looking down on people, I will definitely prove it to you, and I will definitely be able to enter the imperial hospital to become an imperial physician, but you, master, you want to be my master, I am not happy—"

With soft eyes, Wen Changheng said with a smile, "I'll wait and see."
