Chapter 1078: Chapter 157 Imperial Doctor Tan

Old Madam Yin couldn’t help but glare at Manbao, but Yin Huo still ignored her.

Bai Shan couldn’t help saying, "Aren’t you planning to go climb the mountain on Double Ninth Festival in school? You told us today that you want to go too. How can you go if your injury isn’t healed? Have you ever climbed a mountain when you were this age?"

Bai Erlang said, "Definitely not."

Yin Huo slightly turned his head to look at them.

Seeing an opportunity, the three of them quickly said, "The mountains near the capital are quite beautiful, especially in the crisp autumn air. There are wildflowers and insects by the roadside, it must be particularly beautiful."

Bai Erlang also had an excuse, but upon hearing Manbao’s words, he shuddered, "What’s so good about insects?"

"Butterflies are insects too," Manbao said, "Have you ever caught butterflies? I can make a net for you, and we can go catch butterflies together."

Bai Shan said, "You can also make poetry while ascending the mountain and even camp overnight, it’s very fun."

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, "There are so many fun things you haven’t experienced yet. Don’t always think about death or life or stuff like that. Isn’t it just about not wanting to have children? If you don’t want them, just don’t have them. If they don’t listen to you, you don’t have to tell them, you can tell us instead."

Seeing his attitude soften, Manbao had Bai Shan and Bai Erlang help him sit up, put a pillow behind him, then scooped a spoonful of medicine and brought it to his mouth.

Old Madam Yin watched anxiously.

Yin Huo looked down at the medicine brought to his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and drank it.

Seeing him drink, Manbao directly handed him the bowl, "Drink it all at once, spoonful by spoonful is too bitter."

Yin Huo glanced at her, took the bowl, and drank up the medicine.

Bai Erlang touched his hand, pulled out a piece of candy, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into his mouth, grinning, "How about that, not bitter anymore, right?"

Imperial Doctor Tan silently watched everything and motioned for Old Madam Yin to step outside to talk.

Old Madam Yin glanced at the three people surrounding the bed, then turned and went with Imperial Doctor Tan to the yard.

"Old Madam, the young master has his own opinions now, that medicine..."

Mentioning this, Old Madam Yin felt a bit resentful and looked suspiciously at Imperial Doctor Tan, "Did Imperial Doctor Tan not notice the switch in the medicine prescribed to Qilang?"

Imperial Doctor Tan lowered his gaze and sighed, stepped back, and deeply bowed, "I noticed, but did not inform Old Madam, this was an oversight on my part."

Old Madam Yin’s face looked grave, and she asked, "Why didn’t Imperial Doctor Tan tell me?"

Imperial Doctor Tan remained silent and did not speak.

Old Madam Yin clutched her walking stick tightly, saying sternly, "Imperial Doctor Tan, we invited you here to treat an illness..."

"Old Madam," a voice called out from behind Old Madam Yin.

Old Madam Yin turned around, and saw Imperial Doctor Tan holding a medicine chest standing behind her; she immediately tempered her anger and approached him, "Imperial Doctor Tan, why have you come?"

Imperial Doctor Tan smiled lightly, "I heard from the servants at home that a guest had arrived, so I thought perhaps the young master might be in trouble, and decided to come and see."

He glanced at Imperial Doctor Tan and sighed, "Qilang has faced many hardships. Though I have already retired, he is still a child I have dearly watched over, and I couldn’t help myself from coming over."

He pointed at Imperial Doctor Tan and said, "Earlier he came back and told me that the young master seemed to have switched to a better prescription, and he has become much more cheerful. I was quite happy to hear that."

Yin Huo is currently using the prescription left by Imperial Doctor Tan, consisting of three consecutive prescriptions for different stages. The Yin Family wouldn’t change the prescription. How could he not know that?

What he is saying now is just an attempt to gloss over the issue that Imperial Doctor Tan had discovered a problem but did not report it.

Old Madam Yin was silent for a moment before nodding her head, following his lead and saying, "The new prescription was given by a young doctor at Jishi Hall. She is young, and I don’t know what the prescription is like, but today we are fortunate to have Imperial Doctor Tan visit us. Perhaps he can have a look for us."

"That sounds good, it’s been a while since I’ve taken Qilang’s pulse," Imperial Doctor Tan smiled and said, "I’ve heard that this young doctor is a famous miracle worker in the capital. The prescription she gave must not be too bad."

While conversing, Imperial Doctor Tan had already followed Old Madam Yin inside.

He squinted at a young girl and two young boys sitting beside the bed, all laughing and chatting lively. Although Yin Huo, who was reclining on the bed, was not speaking, he looked relaxed and seemed to have a bit more energy.

Imperial Doctor Tan helped his father forward, and Yin Huo saw Imperial Doctor Tan, straightening up a bit and bending forward to greet him.

Imperial Doctor Tan quickly stepped forward, gently insisting, "You have injuries, you should lie down. No need for formalities."

He took out his own pulse pillow from the medicine box and smiled, "Come, let me take your pulse."

As Imperial Doctor Tan approached, Manbao had already made room for him by standing aside by the bed. Yin Huo unconsciously looked up at her first.

Manbao had been wanting to talk to Imperial Doctor Tan for a while. She had seen the prescription Yin Huo silently gave her. Although it was medicine to strengthen the essence, frankly, having such effects in a body like Yin Huo’s was quite impressive.

If it weren’t for Teacher Mo, she wouldn’t have been able to prescribe a better prescription. Basically, with a body like Yin Huo’s, all one could do was watch him gradually weaken and die.

Even if supplemented, it often results in inability to absorb, causing more health issues instead. She found his medication and dosage particularly miraculous.

So, as soon as Yin Huo looked at her, she nodded repeatedly at him.

Imperial Doctor Tan also observed their interaction, smiling slightly, then took Yin Huo’s pulse, before looking happily towards Manbao, "This must be the miracle worker, right?"

"I am hardly a miracle worker," Manbao quickly said, "I am just a new doctor in attendance. Imperial Doctor Tan, what do you think?"

Old Madam Yin also looked at Imperial Doctor Tan anxiously.

Imperial Doctor Tan smiled and said, "What is this new prescription you’ve started? Looking at it, it seems to be even better than what I had initially thought."

The prescription was memorized by heart, and Manbao recited it on the spot.

Imperial Doctor Tan pondered for a moment then nodded, "A method to strengthen the foundation and circulate blood. This is the first time I’ve seen such a pairing of main and auxiliary herbs, but the herbs are common, so it shouldn’t let him appear like a normal person after changing his medication."

He continued, "This child is weak, and only by following my prescription does he look a bit better. You suddenly reduced the tonics, he should be weak for a while."

Manbao said, "I gave him acupuncture."

"What kind of acupuncture?"

Manbao did not conceal it and explained her acupuncture technique to him.

The others listened in confusion, but Manbao and the doctors discussed more and more excitedly. Imperial Doctor Tan quietly stood behind Imperial Doctor Tan, occasionally chiming in, successfully joining their group chat.

Old Madam Yin waited anxiously by the side, and when they finally seemed to have finished discussing, Imperial Doctor Tan picked up his tea cup to drink, and she quickly asked, "Imperial Doctor Tan, how is the child now?"
