Chapter 155 Refusing to See a Doctor
"I agree." Ling Xiyue nodded.
The performance was gradually coming to an end. Ling Xiyue hadn't seen any reaction from He Jingcheng yet. She became a little anxious and asked He Tingxi in a low voice.
"Tingxi, why hasn't King Lu taken action yet? It's almost over."
"Don't worry, he will take action after the performance." He Tingxi comforted.
"Okay." Ling Xiyue didn't ask any more questions.
After the last dance, the emperor saw that everyone was "full and satisfied" and it was time to leave.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my bedroom first. You guys can do whatever you want." The emperor said to the people in the room.
"Farewell, Your Majesty." The people in the hall stood up and saluted.
Soon after, the Empress Dowager and the Queen also left the hall, and the people in the hall also stood up to see them off respectfully.
After seeing the emperor and the others leave, a smile appeared on He Jingcheng's face. He picked up the wine glass with one hand and took Su Mei's hand with the other. They stood up together, left their seats and walked to Jian Ye Shen.
"Dr. Jian, thank you for curing my brother's leg disease. Here, I would like to offer you a toast. I will drink it. You can do as you please." He Jingcheng held the wine glass towards Jian Ye Shen.
"Sumei, you should also offer a glass of wine to Doctor Jian." He Jingcheng instructed Sumei.
"Su Mei also offers a toast to Divine Doctor Jian." Su Mei raised her glass conspicuously and toasted to Jian Ye Shen.
When Ling Xiyue saw this, she immediately understood He Jingcheng's motive. She stared at He Jingcheng closely, afraid of missing anything.
As soon as He Tingxi saw He Jingcheng coming over, his eyes followed He Jingcheng.
Jian Ye Shen had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and stand up to respond to He Jingcheng and Su Mei.
"Your Highness Prince Lu, Madam Sumei, you are welcome."
"Please come in, Doctor Jian." After He Jingcheng clinked glasses with Jian Ye Shen, he drank it all in one gulp.
Su Mei also toasted.
"please."
Seeing that He Jingcheng was so generous, Jian Ye also drank the wine in his glass.
He Jingcheng took the initiative to toast Jian Ye Shen, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. They all looked at Jian Ye Shen as if they were watching a fun event.
"Dr. Jian has a good alcohol tolerance, have another glass." He Jingcheng advised again.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Prince Lu. I have drunk a little too much today." Jian Ye Shen declined politely.
"Yeah, let's drink next time." He Jingcheng smiled faintly and didn't persuade him anymore.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Lu." Jian Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
After toasting, He Jingcheng did not leave, but looked at Jian Yeshen and continued, "Doctor Jian, my brother's leg disease is so serious, but you can cure it. This shows how good your medical skills are. Today, I would like to ask Doctor Jian to help me solve a problem. I wonder if Doctor Jian can help?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall looked at Jian Ye Shen in unison, curious about Jian Ye Shen's reaction.
Everyone in the palace knew that Jian Ye Shen had only treated Prince Yan and His Majesty.
Jian Yeshen's heart skipped a beat; the thing he had been worried about finally happened.
He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue looked at each other tacitly, then they both stood up and looked at Jian Yeshen.
He Tingxi saw Jian Yeshen's worry, and before Jian Yeshen could speak, he said, "Second brother, what problem do you have that you need Brother Jian's help with? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
When Jian Ye Shen saw He Tingxi "joining in", he immediately felt relieved. He said nothing, just looked at He Tingxi.
He Jingcheng felt displeased when he saw He Tingxi stepping forward to help Jian Yeshen block the words.
"It's Su Mei's health problem. She has been with me for some time, but she has never gotten pregnant. I would like to ask Doctor Jian to help me see what's wrong."
He Jingcheng still said it.
He Tingxi's mouth curled up when he heard this. Everything was just as he expected.
"Second brother, have you seen the imperial physician?" He Tingxi asked, deliberately changing the subject.
He Jingcheng was stunned, a little unhappy appeared on his face, but he still responded: "I have looked for it."
"What do you mean?" He Tingxi asked.
He Jingcheng became annoyed when he saw that He Tingxi was trying to change the subject. He noticed from the corner of his eye that the people in the hall were all listening to their conversation with their ears pricked up. He didn't want more people to hear it, so he had to lower his voice.
"They said Su Mei is weak and it's hard for her to get pregnant. I think Doctor Jian is very skilled and should be able to cure her."
"Is that what all the imperial doctors say? Are they all helpless?" He Tingxi continued to ask.
"Well, there is no better way." He Jingcheng nodded.
"If that's the case, it's indeed a headache. The imperial doctors are helpless." He Tingxi frowned slightly.
"So, I would like to ask Doctor Jian to take a look. Doctor Jian is very skilled in medicine and he must have a way." He Jingcheng continued.
"Ugh--"
He Tingxi sighed deliberately.
"Brother Emperor, why are you sighing?" He Jingcheng had a bad feeling when he saw this.
"Because Brother Jian is only good at treating injuries and bruises, not women's diseases. Nowadays, even the imperial doctors are helpless with these diseases, so Brother Jian is even more helpless, isn't he?" He Tingxi had an embarrassed expression.
Jian Ye Shen was secretly delighted to see that He Tingxi had finished saying everything he wanted to say, but he still remained silent.
Being rejected by He Tingxi in person, He Jingcheng's face instantly turned black and he was very angry.
He glanced at Jian Ye Shen, and seeing that Jian Ye Shen remained silent, he immediately understood Jian Ye Shen's attitude.
At the same time, he understood He Tingxi's character. His plan to get Jian Ye Shen to see a doctor was no longer possible, so he stopped persuading him. When he looked at He Tingxi, he accidentally saw Ling Xiyue. Looking at Ling Xiyue's belly, suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
"Really? My brother, your leg disease has been cured. I believe that Doctor Jian will be ready to leave the capital after today, right?"
He Tingxi was stunned by this question. He was afraid that He Jingcheng would be suspicious, so he replied, "I haven't considered it yet."
Ling Xiyue stared at He Jingcheng blankly. She felt that He Jingcheng seemed to know what He Tingxi was thinking, and she felt uneasy.
"Divine Doctor Jian longs for freedom. He has been in the capital for almost half a year. Now that your leg disease has fully recovered, how can you bear to let him stay in the capital any longer?"
He Jingcheng looked at Jian Yeshen with a considerate look, "Divine Doctor Jian, don't you think so?"
"Well, as for when to go back, I'm still considering it." Jian Ye Shen had no choice but to deal with it.
He Jingcheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He looked at He Tingxi and continued, "Why don't I send someone to escort Doctor Jian home? Just to thank Doctor Jian for curing my brother's leg disease. My father paid to reward Doctor Jian, and I didn't pay. Anyway, I have to contribute, right?"
"Second brother, let me take care of Brother Jian's affairs. Don't bother me." He Tingxi refused directly.
"Royal brother, it's too formal for you to say that. We are brothers. Your business is also my business. Let's settle it. When Doctor Jian returns, I will send ten guards to escort him and will ensure his safety." He Jingcheng made the decision on his own.
"There's no need for guards. Prince Yan's Mansion has no shortage of guards." He Tingxi refused with a sullen face.
