Yueyao didn’t feel cold, so she let a few maids gather around the fire.
Doctor Li placed the dicinal herbs down and leisurely sat in the chair he uses for consultations, staring at Xiang Wei. Seeing Xiang Wei standing still for a long ti, he said impatiently, "Are you seeing the doctor or not? If not, go back ho; don’t occupy space here."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wei was furious, and coldly retorted, "You’re the one who’s sick, quack!" She was fine; how could there be sothing wrong with her?
Yueyao’s heart sank, and she firmly pressed Xiang Wei’s arm. Xiang Wei gave a cold snort and said nothing more. Yueyao apologized to Doctor Li, "Doctor Li, she has a bad temper, please don’t mind her."
Doctor Li heard Yueyao’s apology and indifferently said, "There’s nothing for to mind. If no one is seeing , quickly leave."
Upon hearing these words, Xiang Wei looked at Doctor Li with cold eyes, but in the end, she held back her anger because of Yueyao, and simply said to Yueyao, "Miss, let’s go back! This person is clearly a quack." How could this be a doctor, he was more like a rogue.
Yueyao felt a headache coming on; previously, Xiang Wei had a bad temper, but she wouldn’t go overboard. Now her temper was getting more and more volatile.
Doctor Li, with his legs crossed, was warming himself by the fire, took out a dical book from the drawer and was reading it, not even glancing at Yueyao and her group.
Yueyao pulled Xiang Wei aside and whispered, "Let Doctor Li check your pulse."
Xiang Wei shot a cold glance at Doctor Li, then said with displeasure, "Miss, where did you hear about this person? How could he possibly be a doctor? Miss, don’t be fooled."
Yueyao glared at Xiang Wei and said, "Doctor Li’s dical skills are excellent. Your health has been poor since the last incident; let him take a look!" As there were six of them entering, Doctor Li identified Xiang Wei as the one needing a checkup. Just from this, Yueyao was convinced of Doctor Li’s dical expertise.
Xiang Wei was unwilling: "I think he’s just a quack."
Yueyao specially glanced at Doctor Li and, seeing him imrsed in his book, felt at ease: "Nonsense, let him check your pulse; it’s not like it’s going to take your life. I tell you, if you don’t get checked, don’t ever think about the Kitchen Maid making any delicacies for you." This was Yueyao’s trump card.
Xiang Wei thought Yueyao was being foolish: "You only know how to threaten this way, can’t you think of a new trick?"
Yueyao, for the first ti, found Xiang Wei so stubborn: "I’m telling you, Doctor Li’s dical skills are extraordinary. Back when Guan Jingshuo was weak, even the Imperial Physician was at a loss, and it was Doctor Li who cured him."
Xiang Wei asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"
Yueyao lowered her voice, "I told him that Doctor Li’s dical skills were brilliant, that he would certainly cure his illness."
Xiang Wei widened her eyes, "How do you know this Doctor Li’s dical skills are brilliant?" If this person truly cured Guan Jingshuo, then his dical skills must indeed be excellent.
Yueyao kept it a mystery, "If you let Doctor Li check your pulse, I’ll tell you." Sotis Yueyao thought Xiang Wei was like a three-year-old child, always needing coaxing.
Finally, Xiang Wei agreed to let Doctor Li take her pulse.
Doctor Li did not refuse, but he set a price that shocked everyone: "I can check the pulse, but it’s a flat rate of five hundred taels, and I need it now." Doctor Li nad the price at will, as he found Xiang Wei displeasing to the eye, naturally asking an exorbitant amount.
Without saying a word, Yueyao imdiately took out the money. Xi Yu and Gu You were left with mouths agape, but nobody dared to utter a single word.
Doctor Li cast a glance at Yueyao, seeing her earnest expression, he did not make things difficult further and nodded slightly. Yueyao then promptly asked Gu You to fetch the silver.
Doctor Li placed his hand on Xiang Wei’s wrist. After a long ti, so long that Xiang Wei was starting to feel impatient, Doctor Li finally withdrew his hand and said blandly, "My humble dical skills are insufficient, unable to treat this young lady. Please go ho."
Upon hearing this, Yueyao’s heart plumted. She knew that Xiang Wei had been severely injured in the past; although she had recovered, she could no longer use martial skills, which was why she could be by her side. This was why she was so worried after knowing about Xiang Wei’s injury. However, upon returning, Xiang Wei and Bai Yi both said it was nothing. She felt uneasy, fearing they were deceiving her, so she specifically asked Doctor Zhang to check Xiang Wei’s pulse. She felt reassured after Doctor Zhang said that Xiang Wei just needed proper care. But now it seed things were not as they seed; Xiang Wei had been concealing her health condition all along.
Xiang Wei looked unhappy: "What do you an ’can’t treat,’ you..."
Yueyao sharply interrupted Xiang Wei, "Xiang Wei, go outside." Xiang Wei must be seriously ill, otherwise, she wouldn’t be hiding it from her.
