Chapter 621 - Chapter 621: Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty-Seven (2/2)
The conversation shifted back to the treasure map; Su Wenyue and Han Yu were both clear about the past events, especially since the Emperor had already questioned Han Yu about it.
Yet Han Yu took Su Wenyue’s hand: “Whether the treasure map is real or fake, it has nothing to do with us, right? Since I’ve decided not to get involved, there’s no need to pay any attention to that matter.”
Su Wenyue nodded, squeezing Han Yu’s hand back, instantly feeling reassured. The atmosphere warmed up in an instant, but then Han Yu suddenly furrowed his brow.
“Husband, what’s wrong? Is your leg causing you trouble again?” Su Wenyue quickly asked, seeing Han Yu in such a state, she promptly helped Han Yu lie down on the bed. Although there was no panic—his leg pain had acted up more than once or twice, and she could handle it calmly—she still felt distressed for Han Yu and immediately ordered the servants to summon the Imperial Doctor.
“Does it hurt a lot? Your leg condition is worsening. The Imperial Doctor’s visits only provide some pain relief and don’t seem to have much actual effect. It is merely treating the symptoms, not the cause. In my opinion, we should find Divine Doctor Mu as soon as possible. With his extraordinary medical skills, perhaps he could come up with a way to cure your leg pain, so you no longer have to endure such agony.” Su Wenyue had long harbored this thought and had even dispatched people to search for Divine Doctor Mu. However, with Doctor Mu’s unpredictable whereabouts, there had been no news so far, causing Su Wenyue’s frown to deepen.
“Silly little girl, don’t worry. I have already contacted Divine Doctor Mu, and he arrived in the Capital City yesterday. I just haven’t had the chance to tell you.”
“Really? That’s great! We don’t need to summon the Imperial Doctor now. With Divine Doctor Mu here, everything will be more effective.” Su Wenyue said joyfully, ready to take action immediately but Han Yu stopped her.
“Wait, let the Imperial Doctor come…”
Su Wenyue turned to look at Han Yu, who was in such urgent need that she hadn’t thought about anything else. She instantly understood Han Yu’s intention: “You mean…”
“You’re smart, Daughter-in-law. With my leg pain flaring up, suffering so much that even walking is hard, I can barely look after myself, let alone manage court affairs. I am truly at a loss for strength and must ask the Emperor to appoint another capable person. As for you, Daughter-in-law, you should stay in the mansion to take care of me.”
Han Yu said with a smile, having already intended to retire; this situation presented a good opportunity. Not only would it fulfill his wish, but it would also not embarrass the Emperor. Moreover, with the Emperor likely still harboring suspicions regarding the colorful exquisite lamp incident, it was imperative not to delay any longer, lest they become entangled in it.
“You’re right, Husband. Given your severe condition, one Imperial Doctor will not be enough. We should summon several Imperial Doctors to discuss if there’s any treatment.” Su Wenyue went along with Han Yu’s suggestion and immediately made arrangements. She wasn’t the least bit concerned about whether Han Yu’s leg condition was as serious as he claimed—since Han Yu had spoken, it must be well-planned.
Before long, several Imperial Doctors were hastily summoned by the Marquis of Zhen Guo’s Mansion. Upon seeing the teary-eyed and red-eyed Madam Zhen Guo by the window and the Marquis of Zhen Guo lying pallid, weak, and sweating on the bed, any minor complaints they harbored vanished. They took Han Yu’s condition seriously and began their examination.
