After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 58
The only two people left in the bedroom were Jiang Suizhou and the old man.
"Please speak, doctor," Jiang Suizhou prompted the moment the door of the room was closed.
The old doctor knelt in front of his bed and said, "If I am not mistaken, Your Highness's current illness is caused by poisoning."
Jiang Suizhou fell silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Doctor, you have excellent medical skills. I was indeed poisoned some days ago. I just don't know if you have a cure for it."
The doctor pondered for a long time and said, "Although Your Highness is poisoned, the poison is very strange. It's floating on the surface and messing with Your Highness's pulse, but not hurting your body. During this period, you only need to recuperate and wait for the effects of the medicine to subside. Just..."
He paused and raised his head to look at Jiang Suizhou.
"Your Highness has been weak since childhood, right?" he asked.
Jiang Suizhou nodded: "Indeed."
The old doctor frowned and said thoughtfully, "Although Your Highness's weakness is seemingly congenital, honestly... it's a bit like it's caused by drugs."
Jiang Suizhou was stunned.
"You mean...?"
The old doctor nodded.
"For the specifics, I still need to prepare some medicine for Your Highness. After taking the medicine, only then can we know where the crux of Your Highness' physical weakness lies," he said.
Jiang Suizhou was rendered momentarily speechless.
He really did not expect that the original owner's so-called congenital weakness was also tampered with. But on further consideration, the mother of the original owner was favored by the previous Emperor at that time, and her beauty was unparalleled. It was only right to assume that a tall tree attracted the wind1 and incurred the jealousy of others.
So, since it was not congenital, was there a cure for his weakness?
Jiang Suizhou didn't want to be this weak for the rest of his life, coughing after taking only two steps.
He was surprised for a moment, and only after a while did he find his voice and ask, "If you say so, Doctor, is there a cure for my illness?"
The old man shook his head and replied, "I am only thirty percent sure."
This was promising for Jiang Suizhou.
He wasn't at all affronted, and so he said, "Thirty percent is fine. From today onward, you can stay in Jingwang Manor with peace of mind and just treat my illness. If there is anything you need, just ask."
The old man bowed and thanked him for his favor.
Then he heard Jiang Suizhou pause and asked, "Do you have any other specialties?"
The old man was stunned and asked, "What is Your Highness asking about...?"
Jiang Suizhou cleared his throat; his expression indifferent; and his tone calm and waveless.
"There is a cripple in my room, as you have seen," he said indifferently.
The old doctor lowered his head in response.
Jiang Suizhou frowned, and then said: "This man is just crippled. Every cloudy and rainy day these days, his legs will hurt. It's really annoying to hear him toss and turn in the middle of the night. Doctor, please examine his legs. If you can find a way to relieve him some, it'll save him from disturbing my rest."
The old man, kneeling on the ground, obviously froze.
Jiang Suizhou only thought he was surprised because he wanted to let him heal a prisoner of war. He pondered for a moment and said unhurriedly, "Heal him, by all means. I love peace and quiet. If you can cure him of his disease, your reward will be indispensable."
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and looked at the old man.
The old doctor, kneeling on the ground, kowtowed: "I'll be at Your Highness's disposal."
--
After the consultation, it was the first time in a while that the doctor was given a place to stay.
Knowing that this doctor was quite capable, Meng Qianshan naturally treated them both as guests. When the consultation was finished and Jiang Suizhou asked him to make arrangements, Meng Qianshan generously invited the two guests into a spacious courtyard, and also assigned a few maids to wait on them.
This treatment gave off the impression that they were distinguished guests.
After arranging the courtyard, Meng Qianshan didn't forget to ask someone to prepare all the daily needs of the two. It wasn't until it was late in the day that he smilingly bade farewell.
The old man led his disciple into the room.
The moment the door was closed, Wei Kai turned around and hurriedly asked what had happened between the old man and Jiang Suizhou in the room.
The old doctor sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and told Wei Kai one by one what he had talked to Jiang Suizhou just now.
"So Jingwang was really drugged?" Wei Kai couldn't help but ask.
The old doctor nodded.
"Someone had drugged him from the time he was born. Otherwise, how can any child who has been pampered and born from his mother's womb in good health fall ill with such an unexplainable disease?" he said, stroking his beard.
"However...it's a bit fishy that he was drugged this time."
"How so?" Wei Kai asked urgently.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and shook his head.
His mysterious reaction made Wei Kai anxious, and he said angrily, "Li Changning, don’t beat around the bush!"
The doctor named Li Changning snorted when he heard his words, and replied, "Can't I speculate? Who knows who inflicted such painless poison on him?"
His remarks rendered Wei Kai speechless.
Then Li Changning said, "But...it seems so coincidental."
"What?" Wei Kai did not understand.
"Jingwang isn't seriously ill, but he asked for medical treatment. We had no way to find the General, but we were able to take this opportunity to get close to him," Li Changning said slowly, "Just now, Jingwang specifically mentioned that the General’s leg injury always flares up, and asked me to examine the General's legs in the next couple of days. Say, how can everything be so coincidental that it all turned out to be beneficial for the General?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Kai fell into deep thought.
"It is indeed too coincidental..." he echoed, "And just now, the General was also a bit strange."
"What?" Li Changning asked.
Wei Kai looked at him with doubts all over his face.
"Just now, when I told the General that Jingwang had been kind to us, so I would leave his body intact later on, the General was a little upset," he said. "I also said that I would tear him to pieces, and the General's eyes seemed to have turned even more frightening."
Speaking of this, Wei Kai paused and hissed.
"Then...the General also asked me whether you can cure the Prince's illness."
He looked at Li Changning.
"You say, what exactly does the General want, ah?"
Li Changning showed disdain.
"Why are you asking me when you're the one who has been with the General for so many years?" he said, "I've only met him for the first time today, yet you expect me to guess what's in his mind?"
Wei Kai frowned and shook his head.
"If I must guess, it would be that the General wants to cure him and then torment him to death with his own hands." he said. "And then, later on, he'll chop his corpse and hang it on their Southern Jing's walls."
"But ..."
His words took a turn.
"Why do I feel, again, that it's not quite like that?"
