Only Jiang Suzhou and the old doctor were left in the room.
"Teacher, please speak." Jiang Suzhou said after the door was closed.
The old doctor knelt in front of his bed and said, "If this humble one didn't make a mistake, the prince's current illness was caused by poison."
Jiang Suzhou was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Teacher's medical skills are excellent. This prince was indeed poisoned a few days ago. I just don't know if teacher has a cure? "
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "Although the prince has been poisoned, this poison is very strange. It floats on the surface and messes up the prince's pulse, but it doesn't harm your body. During this time, you only need to recuperate a little and wait for the effects of the medicine to subside. It's just that … "
He paused and raised his head to look at Jiang Suzhou.
"The prince has had a weak constitution since he was young, right?" He said.
Jiang Suzhou nodded, "That's right."
The old doctor frowned and said thoughtfully, "Although the prince's weak constitution seems to have been brought out of the womb, in fact … it seems to be caused by drugs."
Jiang Suzhou was stunned.
"You mean …?"
The old doctor nodded.
"As for the specifics, this humble one will need to prescribe some medicine for the prince. After taking the medicine, we will know where the cause of the prince's weak constitution lies." He said.
Jiang Suzhou was speechless for a moment.
He really didn't expect that the original owner's so-called innate weak constitution was also tampered with by others. But thinking about it carefully, the original owner's mother was greatly favored by the previous emperor and had an unparalleled status. Thinking about it, a tall tree attracts the wind and being envied by others was natural.
Then, if it wasn't innate, then wouldn't there be a cure for his weak constitution?
Jiang Suzhou didn't want to be so weak that he couldn't stand the wind for the rest of his life and would cough after taking two steps.
He was pleasantly surprised for a moment. After a while, he found his voice and asked, "Since teacher said so, is there a way to cure this prince's illness?"
The old doctor shook his head and said, "This humble one only has a thirty percent chance of success."
For Jiang Suzhou, this meant that there was hope.
He didn't feel offended at all and said, "Thirty percent is fine. After today, teacher can stay at Prince Jing's Estate and treat this prince's illness. If there's anything you need, just tell me. "
The eldest man bowed down to express his gratitude.
Jiang Suzhou paused and asked, "Is there anything else you're good at?"
The old doctor was stunned and asked in confusion, "Your Highness is talking about … …?"
Jiang Suzhou cleared his throat. His expression was cold and his tone was calm.
"There is a cripple in this king's room. You saw it yourself," he said indifferently.
The old doctor lowered his head and responded.
Jiang Suzhou frowned and continued, "It's okay that this person is crippled, but these days whenever it rains or cloudy days, his legs hurt. Once he's tossed and turned for half the night, it's really annoying. Mister, please help this prince take a look at his legs. If there's any way to alleviate the pain, this prince won't be disturbed. "
The old doctor kneeling on the ground was obviously stunned.
Jiang Suizhou thought he was surprised because he wanted him to treat the prisoners of war. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said slowly, "Just treat them. This prince loves peace and quiet. If you can cure his illness, you will be rewarded. "
After he finished speaking, he looked down at the old doctor.
The old doctor knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "This humble one will follow your orders, Your Highness."

This was the first time in a long time that a courtyard was arranged for this doctor to stay in after the consultation.
Knowing that this doctor had some skills, Meng Qianshan naturally treated them as guests of honor. After the consultation, Jiang Suzhou asked him to make the arrangements. Meng Qianshan very generously invited the two of them into a spacious courtyard and even gave them a few maidservants to serve them.
From the looks of it, they were going to treat the two of them as guests of honor.
After the courtyard was arranged, Meng Qianshan didn't forget to have people prepare everything that the two of them needed for their daily lives. He didn't leave until the sky was dark and he was all smiles.
The old doctor led his disciple into the room.
After the door closed, Wei Kai turned around and hurriedly asked the old doctor about the situation in Jiang Suizhou's room.
The old doctor sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He told Wei Kai about the contents of his conversation with Jiang Suizhou.
"Then Prince Jing was really drugged?" Wei Kai couldn't help but ask.
The old doctor nodded.
"Someone drugged him from the moment he was born. Otherwise, how could a child be pampered for such a long time and end up with such an unknown illness when he came out of his mother's womb? "He stroked his beard as he spoke.
"It's just that … it's a bit strange that he was drugged this time."
"What do you mean?" Wei Kai hurriedly asked.
The old doctor muttered to himself for a moment and then shook his head.
Wei Kai was annoyed by the doctor's unfathomable appearance and angrily said, "Li Changning, if you have something to say, say it directly!"
The doctor named Li Changning clicked his tongue and said, "It's not that I can't guess. Who knows who drugged him with such a painless poison? "
Wei Kai was speechless when he heard this.
Li Changning continued, "But … it seems like such a coincidence."
"What?" Wei Kai didn't understand.
"Prince Jing isn't seriously ill, but he's asking for medical attention. We originally had no way to find you, but now we can use this opportunity to get close to you, "Li Changning slowly said. "Just now, Prince Jing specifically mentioned that your leg injury keeps acting up, so he wants me to take a look at your leg in the next few days. Tell me, how could it be so coincidental? After going back and forth, it's all for the good of the general. "
Wei Kai fell into deep thought when he heard this.
"It really is a bit too coincidental …" he said. "Also, just now, the general was a bit strange."
"What's wrong?" Li Changning asked.
Wei Kai looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Just now, I told the general that Prince Jing is our benefactor and that we should leave his corpse intact. The general was a bit displeased," he said. "I also said that I wanted to cut him into pieces. The general's eyes seemed to be even scarier."
At this point, Wei Kai paused and let out a hiss.
"Then … the general asked me if you could cure the prince's illness."
He looked at Li Changning.
"What do you think the general wants to do?"
Li Changning looked at him with disdain.
"How many years have you been with the general? Why are you asking me?" he said. "I just met him for the first time today. Do you expect me to know what he's thinking?"
Wei Kai frowned and shook his head.
"If I had to guess, the general wants to cure him and then torture him to death," he said. "Later, we'll chop off his corpse and hang it on the city walls of Nanjing."
"But …"
He changed the topic.
"Why do I feel like it doesn't seem like it?"

In Anyin Hall, it was a gloomy night.
Jiang Suizhou felt that he was in a good mood. Many things that were worth being happy about had already happened.
Originally, the arrival of a doctor with excellent medical skill, who might even be able to cure Huo Wujiu's legs, was already something to be happy about. But just now Xu Du sent him another message, saying that the Empress had taken the bait.
That day, when the official from the Ministry of Justice returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to report the news to the future master. Presumably, the future master was also very excited when he heard the news. A few days later, he sent this official to lead troops to seize the residence in Changle Lane.
Changle Lane was located in the middle of the north and faced the south. The information he gave to the future master was detailed enough.
Xu Du arranged for people to monitor Changle Lane. In the past few days, there were already a few informants from the Ministry of Justice there to scout the area. Presumably, when they completely confirmed their target, it would be the time for the real owner of the residence to be arrested.
Jiang Suizhou felt refreshed.
He went to the study. When he came back, he saw Huo Wujiu sitting on the edge of his bed with his head lowered, reading a book.
When Jiang Suizhou thought of the rather reliable doctor that had arrived in the prince's residence, he sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but look at Huo Wujiu.
He didn't know how skilled the doctor was. Perhaps he could cure Huo Wujiu's legs in advance? As long as his meridians were restored to their original state, then neither Prince Jing's Estate nor Nanjing would be able to imprison him.
If that was the case, then Nanjing would be finished in less than three years. Who cared about the future master? Who cared about Pang Shao? None of them would be able to strut around like they were now.
Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
However, he thought about it again. At that time, he wouldn't have the chance to spend time with Huo Wujiu like he did now.
Although he had been afraid of Huo Wujiu from the beginning, Huo Wujiu was really a very good person. During this period of time, although the two of them didn't talk much, they were able to coexist peacefully. Even now, he could roughly guess what Huo Wujiu was thinking with just a glance.
As he thought of this, Jiang Suizhou's heart suddenly felt a little empty.
After all, he had been in this era for such a long time. Other than his subordinates, Huo Wujiu was the only person who was closest to him.
However, a golden cage couldn't imprison a falcon forever. Huo Wujiu didn't belong to this place in the first place …
Jiang Suizhou was lost in his thoughts for a moment. He didn't notice that the person he was staring at had long sensed his gaze. A pair of dark eyes met his gaze.
The sudden exchange of gazes scared Jiang Suizhou so much that he trembled.
At some point, Huo Wujiu had raised his eyes from the book in his hand and was looking at him quietly.
Jiang Suizhou felt a brief moment of awkwardness.
However, he immediately calmed down. He looked at Huo Wujiu calmly and said, "The doctor who came today will take a look at your leg tomorrow."
Huo Wujiu didn't say anything for a moment.
Jiang Suizhou continued, "However, don't get your hopes up. Even the doctor in the palace couldn't treat it. I don't think he has the ability to do so. "
After he finished speaking, he looked away and was about to lie back on the bed.
However, at this moment, Huo Wujiu suddenly opened his mouth.
"Jiang Sunheng ordered my leg to be broken," he said.
Jiang Suizhou paused. "What?"
He looked at Huo Wujiu and saw Huo Wujiu looking at him quietly.
"You know that his intention is to make me suffer a fate worse than death here," Huo Wujiu said.
The two of them had never spoken these words out loud, but they had both tacitly agreed.
Jiang Suizhou sat up straight and said, "So?"
Huo Wujiu slowly let out a sigh of relief, looking somewhat helpless.
"After my leg is healed, have you thought about how to explain it to him?" he asked.
Jiang Suizhou laughed in his heart.
Explain it to him? Why would I explain it to a dead man? Huo Wujiu is the butcher's knife hanging over his head. I'll put down this knife in advance and kill this incapable ruler. That's the only explanation I can give to the people today.
As he thought of this, a smile appeared on his face.
"I won't explain it to him." The corners of his lips curled up. Under the dim light, he looked gorgeous. "I'd like to see how he will deal with me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Huo Wujiu indifferently and lay back on the bed.
Jiang Suizhou only felt that his eyes were filled with the wisdom of a person who knew about the future.
However, he didn't expect that Huo Wujiu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, didn't come back to his senses for a moment because of his gaze.
After a long time, he lowered his eyes.
Perhaps the light in the room was too bright. He thought.
Otherwise, how could it light up the eyes of the foolish rabbit that was trying to strike a stone with an egg and risking its life so brightly?
