"It'd be great if there was a second or third Sun Zaidao. He'd definitely be good at this."
Wei Ci glanced at Feng Zhen and said, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others."
Feng Zhen shook his head like a rattle drum. How could he do this kind of work with his small body?
"Zixiao is really vicious. Beiyuan has always been known as the Northern Country of Ice and Snow. Out of the four seasons, it's only warm for a few months. The rest of the time, it's snowing and freezing the city. If you really went there, you'd probably be frozen before you could even convince anyone." Feng Zhen's eyes flashed and he teased, "In my opinion, Zixiao is a great candidate with a silver tongue. I heard that the people of Beiyuan, regardless of gender, are all tall and strong. Zixiao, with your beauty, I wonder how popular you'd be. "
The first few sentences were decent, but the last few sentences went off the rails. Wei Ci strode forward, too lazy to waste his breath on Feng Zhen.
"Cough cough cough … Zixiao, don't walk so fast …"
Feng Zhen saw Wei Ci's frosty expression and sighed. Honest people really couldn't take teasing.
After jogging for two steps, Wei Ci stopped in front of him.
"Zixiao still cares for people. I know …"
Feng Zhen didn't finish his sentence when the smile on his face disappeared. His gaze fell on a man not far away. He looked similar to Wei Ci and had a more honest and gentle temperament. Wasn't this Wei Dan from the Nie Family Envoy, Wei Ci's eldest brother? What was he doing here?
"Eldest Brother …" Wei Ci stepped forward to greet him. Before he could get up, Wei Dan's cold right hand grabbed his wrist. Soon, a few red finger marks were left on his skin. It was clear how much force he had used in his anxiety. "Eldest Brother, what happened?"
Why did the usually calm eldest brother lose his composure like this?
Feng Zhen was also observing Wei Dan. Only then did he realize that his eyes were slightly green and his expression was tired and dispirited.
"Zixiao, do me a favor …" Wei Dan's tone was nervous.
Wei Ci lowered his face to hide the emotions in his eyes. He said, "Don't rush, Eldest Brother. Let's talk as we walk."
Wei Dan didn't invite Feng Zhen, but he didn't refuse either. The latter shamelessly followed the two.
Wei Dan's steps were swift and his strides were wide. His clothes brushed against each other and made a clear rustling sound.
If it was in the past, Wei Yong wouldn't have been so rude, but he couldn't care less now.
"Zixiao, you've learned the art of Qi Huang. Can you diagnose a common cold and fever?"
Wei Qiang knew that Wei Ci had medical skills. As the saying goes, a prolonged illness makes one a doctor. Wei Ci's medical skills had been trained this way.
Wei Ci nodded. "Although my medical skills are not as exquisite as those of famous doctors, it is not a problem for me to treat minor illnesses and fevers."
Feng Zhen asked, "If someone is sick, why don't they find a doctor?"
"I don't trust you."
When Wei Ling said these three words, his expression darkened several degrees, and a heavy and oppressive aura lingered around his body.
Feng Zhen's eyes widened in shock. You can't trust the doctor you brought, but you trust your own brother from the opposing camp?
How much trust did Big Brother have in Wei Ci's integrity?
Wasn't he afraid that Wei Ci would tamper with the prescription and complete the Ultimate Killer Move with just one set of medicine?
Just as Feng Zhen was curious about the patient's identity, Wei Ci quickly guessed the patient's identity.
In the entire world, apart from family members, only Nie Liang could make Eldest Brother so nervous and lose his composure.
It was rare to find a confidant in life. In his previous life, Nie Liang had died early, and Eldest Brother had been depressed for more than ten years before he finally passed away from illness.
Following Wei Ling's footsteps, Wei Ci and Feng Zhen entered the Nie family's quarters.
Before the two entered the courtyard, they smelled the scent of medicine in the air. Wei Ci secretly twitched his nose, his brows furrowing.
"Guangshan, Zixiao is here."
Feng Zhen looked at the sneaky formation and furrowed his brows in displeasure. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had followed. If he had not followed and Wei Ci had been brought here by Wei Ling alone, and someone with ulterior motives had spread the news to Jiang Pengji, the lord might have become suspicious.
Entering the room, the scent of medicine in the air was even stronger, mixed with an indescribable sour smell.
Just as Wei Ling finished speaking, the two of them heard a heart-wrenching cough.
Wei Ci was startled. It had only been a few days since they had last seen each other, why had Nie Liang become so ill?
Nie Liang lay on the bed, his cheeks pale and his lips chapped. Faint bruises could be seen at the corners of his lips.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become like this?"
Nie Liang struggled to sit up. He looked very weak, as if his vitality had been sucked away by something.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Why did Zishun invite your younger brother here? The doctor has already taken a look at me. It's not a serious illness … "
With that, he said to Wei Ci and Feng Zhen, "Forgive Liang for being too ill to entertain the two of you. Please help yourself."
Wei Ling said, "Zixiao's skills are not bad. No matter what, let him take a look. If he is really fine, Liang will be at ease. "
Nie Liang could not dissuade his best friend, so he could only smile apologetically at Wei Ci. "Thank you, Zixiao, for making this trip."
Wei Ci nodded and lifted the bedding. He let Nie Liang stretch out a hand and carefully feel his pulse.
Nie Liang was seriously ill. His pulse was much weaker than an ordinary person's. It was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
"This pulse …" Wei Ci paused and turned to ask Wei Ling, "What did the other doctors say?"
"They only said it was a common cold. They prescribed a few prescriptions, but Guangshan's cold did not improve."
Wei Ling frowned. He even revealed the matter of Nie Liang secretly pouring out the medicine.
Nie Liang, who was lying on the bed, secretly turned his face away. He felt embarrassed.
"The day before yesterday, the doctor prescribed a new medicine for Guangshan. I watched him drink it, but not long after, Guangshan's condition worsened rapidly. I checked that prescription and the dregs of the decoction. They were all for a cold. The doctors took turns to diagnose and treat him, but their statements were too uniform. I became suspicious and was afraid of alerting the enemy. I had no choice but to get Zixiao to take his pulse and see what was going on. "
Wei Ci said, "In that case, Mister Nie also noticed it."
"What do you mean?"
"He was poisoned. Although the poison is weak, taking something poisonous for a long time will definitely cause the poison to accumulate in his body, making him weak and frail. " Wei Ci said, "The prescription prescribed by the doctor for a cold is definitely useless. Drinking it will do more harm than good."
Nie Liang did not have a cold at all. He was poisoned by someone.
Nie Liang's eyes flashed with astonishment. Wei Ling even tightened his grip on his sleeves.
"Poisoned?"
"I still have to look at the prescriptions prescribed by the other doctors. I'm not sure what went wrong." After Wei Ci finished, he added, "Big Brother, you should pay attention to the doctors who came with you. Such a simple pulse, any qualified doctor can take it. They all said that Mister Nie had a cold. This doesn't make sense. "
Wei Ling endured it. It took a lot of effort to suppress his anger. He got up and took the prescription prescribed by the doctor.
"I didn't expect that Zishun would find you."
Taking advantage of Wei Ling's departure, Nie Liang laughed softly. A smile appeared on his sickly face.
"Mister is of noble character and unquestionable integrity. Liang admires you very much."
If Wei Ci wanted him to die, he only needed to hide his illness and pulse. Wei Ling could not say anything.
