Nie Liang seemed to want to laugh, but because his movements were too big, he accidentally choked. The smile that had just risen froze at the corner of his lips.
"You're really straightforward —" Nie Liang took a breath and looked at Wei Ci with a faint smile, "I thought that Zixiao and your brother's temperament is similar, but now that I see it, I've misjudged you. Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself by saying this to me? "
Wei Ci opened his thin lips, "Mister Nie, please open your mouth … Your tongue is thick and has a different color. Are there any differences when you eat or drink tea?"
Nie Liang looked straight at Wei Ci's face. Whatever the other person instructed, he would do as he was told, acting like a well-behaved patient who was highly cooperative with the doctor.
"Differences? Yes! Occasionally you can't taste it or the tip of your tongue is slow. Something that is obviously bitter, but it doesn't taste as bitter as I remember. "
The process of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, every move was smooth and pleasing to the eye.
If he did not know Wei Ci's identity, Nie Liang would have suspected that Wei Ci was a reclusive and virtuous doctor.
"You discovered it in time. If you carefully dispel the poison, except for a weak body, your life will not be in danger. Remember not to overwork or waste too much energy. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll die young. " Wei Ci said, "I can see that Big Brother regards Mister Nie as a confidant — according to Big Brother's temperament, if something happens to Mister Nie under his watch, he'll probably be depressed and depressed for the rest of his life."
Nie Liang wanted to laugh bitterly.
Living in troubled times, every day alive was a day earned. How many years was there between dying young and dying of old age?
Nie Liang's identity meant that he could not stay out of the struggle. He discovered it in time this time, but could he escape a second time?
However, he never expected Wei Ci to mention Wei Dan.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Nie Liang's eyes, as if he did not expect that the reason Wei Ci was willing to help was for Wei Dan.
"There are many heroes in the world, and it can be said that there are many bright stars, but — there is only one Nie Liang in the world." Wei Ci smiled lightly, his overly delicate and colorful face instantly became lively, like a hundred flowers blooming, "Of course, Mister Nie only has one life."
Nie Liang was about to speak, but his sharp ears heard Wei Dan's footsteps and he quickly stopped.
"Zixiao, the prescriptions are all here."
Wei Dan took out several prescriptions. Some were in the form of bamboo slips, while others were folded bamboo paper. They were all well-preserved.
Wei Ci took it and looked at it closely. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, making Wei Ci's heart beat wildly.
"There's no problem with these prescriptions. Whether it's the herbs or the measurements, they're all good for treating colds." After Wei Ci looked at them, he arranged them neatly and returned them to their original positions. "However, you must prescribe the right medicine to treat the illness. Although Mister Nie has signs of a cold, these symptoms are caused by poison and not a cold. Drinking these medicines will not only not treat the symptoms but will also worsen the poison entering the body."
After Wei Yong heard this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. If not for the fact that the situation was not right, he would have drawn the sword at his waist and killed all of the accompanying physicians.
"Eldest Brother, you said that all the doctors spoke the same words. I'm afraid there's something fishy behind this."
Wei Ci did not say much, but his meaning was clear. It was not an accident that Nie Liang was poisoned and killed. The actions of the few physicians were also instigated by the mastermind. Rather than venting his anger on a few physicians and making the mastermind vigilant, it was better to beat them at their own game.
Nie Liang lowered his head slightly, a few rays of light flashed past his eyes.
He smiled weakly and said softly, "Family scandals should not be spread in public. I've embarrassed myself in front of Zixiao."
Wei Ci wrote a new prescription for Nie Liang. "Mister Nie's body has accumulated a lot of poison, but getting rid of it is not a day's work. Mister's body is not suitable for heavy medicine now, so we can only take it slowly. My medical skills are limited. Mister Nie, you can find a trusted medical officer later. "
His slender fingers pinched the pen and dropped the pen. His handwriting was clean and beautiful, pleasing to the eye.
Nie Liang said, "No need. Zixiao's medical skills are good and trustworthy."
Wei Ci did not reply and handed the prescription to Wei Yong.
"Does Mister Nie have any other instructions?"
Nie Liang knew that Wei Ci was planning to leave.
"There is indeed one thing …" Nie Liang's eyes wandered and said awkwardly, "There's licorice in the prescription. Can the amount be heavier?"
Afraid of bitterness?
Wei Ci asked with his eyes. Nie Liang hesitated for a second between 'bitterness' and 'disgrace' before decisively choosing the latter.
Feng Zhen, who had been in the background, was speechless.
He seemed to have found out a secret.
Nie Liang was seriously ill and could not get up to send him off. He could only let Wei Yong take his place to be polite.
After a distance, Feng Zhen's gossipy nature could not help itself.
"Why did Zixiao save him?"
Although he did not understand Nie Liang's position in the Nie family, he felt that this person was not easy to deal with. Leaving him alive would be a disaster.
"The master of the Nie family is Nie Liang's grandfather. This old man was an influential figure when he was young. Now that he is old, he is still full of energy and does not lose to the younger generation. He controls the Nie family's authority." Wei Ci said coldly, "Although he is not muddle-headed, he has not chosen a suitable successor. As time drags on, his children will gradually grow up and the people's hearts will waver. They will start to think about things they should not. "
Feng Zhen immediately thought of the Xu family from Zhe County.
The two brothers, Xu Bei and Xu Fei, fought so fiercely. Wasn't it because the grandfather favored the youngest grandson and caused a fight between the eldest grandson and the second grandson?
The Nie family's situation was more complicated than the Xu family. The two sons of the old master of the Xu family were both dead, leaving only two grandsons. The Nie family was different.
"Each branch feels that they have hope. How can they live in peace?" Wei Ci's eyes flashed with a trace of memory. In his previous life, when he lived in seclusion in Zhongzhao's Bianzhou, he had also been solicited by the second branch of the Nie family. They tried to pit him against the fifth branch that his elder brother worked for. "Nie Liang is the most outstanding of the grandchildren. He also holds the title of the eldest son of the fifth branch. If he gains the favor of the old master, the status of the fifth branch will rise along with him. Thus, some people could not resist. "
After hearing this, Feng Zhen finally understood the whole story.
"In that case, if Nie Liang is alive, he can muddy the waters of the Nie family even more?"
Wei Ci nodded. "Exactly."
Feng Zhen smacked his lips. "Just watch. That Nie Liang is not simple. If he is allowed to live and clean up the internal affairs of the Nie family, he will be a formidable opponent!"
"Ci said that Nie Liang's body is not suitable to expend too much effort and energy." Wei Ci lowered his eyes and said, "Moreover, the internal affairs of the Nie family are intertwined. To clean them up is not something that can be done in a day or two. Although Nie Liang is the most outstanding of the grandchildren, the fifth branch of the Nie family does not have much power. If not for this, the mission of diplomatic envoy to another country would not have landed on Nie Liang. If he wants to clean up the Nie family, there is still a long way to go. "
Feng Zhen's mouth twitched. He asked blankly, "If he does not follow the doctor's advice …"
Wei Ci said, "His lifespan will be shortened."
Internal strife was common in every aristocratic family. Even the righteous Shangyang Feng family could not avoid it.
