Chapter 228 Summoning the Imperial Physician
As soon as he got back, Su Lekang came looking for him.
Because everyone was quite tired yesterday, Xiao Qinian saw Su Lekang but didn't ask him anything.
Seeing Su Lekang arrive, Xiao Qinian suddenly remembered him. However, since he was brought by his family, there must be a reason, so he didn't say anything negative.
"What do you want?" Xiao Qinian asked Su Lekang, who was sitting below him.
"Third Uncle, I beg you to help me save Xiaotian." Su Lekang knelt down, holding Su Tian.
"Get up first." Their family doesn't have the habit of kneeling down at the drop of a hat.
After Su Lekang got up, Xiao Qinian turned his gaze to Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Siyue recounted the incident to Xiao Qinian.
Xiao Siyue looked at the child in Su Lekang's arms. The child's eyes were lifeless, and he was just playing with his own hands. There was nothing different about him.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Qinian said, "I can help you invite the imperial physician, but I cannot guarantee whether he can be cured."
We've seen patients with this condition before, but the chances of a cure are very small, since it's a problem in the head.
"I understand, thank you, Third Uncle, thank you, Third Uncle." Su Lekang was very excited. This was his only hope, and now that Xiao Qinian had agreed to invite the imperial physician, he was already extremely grateful.
Seeing Su Lekang's appearance, Xiao Qinian thought to himself, "Su Lekang has changed a lot these days."
"Laixing, go and invite Physician Zhang over," Xiao Qinian instructed Laixing.
Xiao Qinian was a rising star in the court, deeply trusted by Emperor Zhou, and supported by the Grand Tutor. There were still some people in the court who would give Xiao Qinian face.
Lai Xing quickly invited Physician Zhang over.
Upon seeing Physician Zhang enter, Xiao Qinian hurriedly went to greet him: "Physician Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip, but my nephew's child is still young, and we can't bear to let him remain mentally impaired."
"Lord Xiao, you're too kind. Let me see the child first." Physician Zhang waved his hand dismissively. This man's future prospects are vast; it's just treating a child. If he can make his acquaintance, it would be his good fortune.
“Alright, Dr. Zhang, this way please.” Xiao Qinian didn’t stand on ceremony and led Dr. Zhang to the child.
"This is the child. He accidentally fell off the bed and hit his head on the ground. After he recovered, we found that he became somewhat mentally challenged." Xiao Qinian did not mention that the child was thrown by his own mother. Such a shameful thing was not easy to tell outsiders.
"Hmm, let me see." Doctor Shen touched the child's head and then examined him carefully.
"The child fell and hit his head, and now there is a blood clot in his brain, which is why he looks like this. I will first use acupuncture to clear the blockage, and it may take at least three days to do acupuncture, but I cannot guarantee whether he will recover in the end." Doctor Zhang did not give a definitive answer.
"Alright, thank you, Physician Zhang. Please begin the acupuncture." Hearing this, Xiao Qinian guessed that the doctor was very confident, and he was very happy.
Everyone watched intently as Physician Zhang performed the acupuncture.
Perhaps because Su Tian was mentally challenged, he didn't cry or make a fuss during the acupuncture treatment and was quietly held in Su Lekang's arms.
After a while, Physician Zhang removed the silver needles: "Alright, today's acupuncture treatment is over. I'll come back in a couple of days."
After saying this, Physician Zhang picked up a pen and paper and wrote out a prescription: "Get two doses of medicine according to this prescription, decoct them in cold water, and take them three times a day."
"Thank you, Physician Zhang, I understand." Xiao Qinian took the prescription and handed it to Lai Xing.
"Alright, let's head back to the Imperial Hospital then." Physician Zhang's attendant picked up his medicine box and walked out.
"Lord Xiao, please wait." After exiting the gate, Physician Zhang stopped and clasped his hands in greeting to Xiao Qinian.
"I'm sorry to trouble you today, Physician Zhang, please take care." After watching the person get into the carriage, Xiao Qinian turned and went through the gate.
"You heard what Physician Zhang said, right? I've already sent someone to get the medicine. After that, take good care of the child according to Physician Zhang's instructions." Back in the house, Xiao Qinian said to Su Lekang, who was still very excited.
"Thank you, Third Uncle. I will definitely take good care of Xiaotian," Su Lekang nodded in response.
"Great! His child is saved!" Su Lekang hugged Su Tian tightly, his face full of relief.
After Xiao Qinian left, Xiao's aunt and her family also came out.
"Third brother, thank you so much for what happened this time." Aunt Xiao sincerely thanked Xiao Qinian.
"Big sister, you're too kind. Even if this wasn't your grandson, I would still help." No matter how much he disliked Su Lekang, he wouldn't involve a child who was only a little over a year old.
"Yes, I know." Aunt Xiao understood what Xiao Qinian meant.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law, you should go and rest too. Tomorrow, Xiaoqin will take you to the capital for a stroll." Seeing that his aunt and uncle seemed a little awkward, Xiao Qinian changed the subject.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law." As soon as Aunt Xiao heard about visiting the capital, her thoughts immediately drifted away.
"Big sister, we're family, what's the trouble?" Xiao Qinian said helplessly.
"Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on the child again."
"Okay, big sister, I'll be going now."
Watching Xiao Qinian walk away, Aunt Xiao sighed and exchanged a glance with Uncle Xiao.
"How about we go back after the child recovers?" Uncle suggested. They had troubled Xiao Qinian too much this time, and they didn't have any business to do afterward, so they couldn't stay here indefinitely.
"This..." Aunt Xiao was somewhat tempted, but then she remembered that she had already promised the old couple, and it wouldn't be good to go back on her word.
"I'll talk to my parents after Su Tian is cured," Aunt Xiao finally decided to wait, as they had only been there for two days.
Even if I don't settle down in Beijing, I still want to travel around the city and broaden my horizons.
"Okay, whatever you say."
When Su Le'an and his wife, who were following in front of the two, heard their parents' words, they exchanged a glance but did not say anything.
However, they definitely wanted to stay in the capital. Having witnessed the prosperity of the capital, they were still somewhat unwilling to return to their small town.
Especially Su Le'an, whose cousins all have their own businesses, he didn't want to fall behind.
However, Su Le'an secretly made up his mind that even if he had to go back in the end, he would try his best to go to the capital again in the future.
His wife is now pregnant, and he wants to give his child a good environment.
Not long after Xiao Siyue returned home, she received the house deed from Shen Junru. She planned to go out and take a look at it the next day.
She hadn't expected this today. She had been thinking of looking for a suitable shop in a few days, but now there was one ready-made.
