Remember "Bookworm" in one second.
Illness comes like a mountain collapsing, and goes away like pulling out silk threads.
Ling Jingyan was usually quite healthy and rarely got sick. This time, after falling ill, she obediently took her medicine and carefully nursed herself for several days, but didn't recover much.
The trip to Hui Chun Tang, Ling Jingyan will never be able to go again.
Ling Xi specially took a day off from Guozijian to accompany Jiang and his siblings, Ling Jingyu, to Hui Chuntang.
It was just before dawn, and the sky had just begun to lighten, when everyone got on their horse-drawn carriages and set off.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and it was quiet outside the carriage. Only the sound of the wooden wheels rolling over the solid blue brick road surface could be heard.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm troubling you both again today." Ling Jingxu looked at the couple with a mixture of embarrassment and gratitude: "My brother even took a day off from the Imperial Academy to let us siblings have a good time... it's really making me feel guilty..."
Ling Xi smiled casually and said, "It's just a day off, what's there to be unhappy about? In the Imperial Academy, we have to study hard every day, I'm eager to get out and take a breath of fresh air."
Chiang also said with a smile, "Yes, I've been feeling bored and suffocated staying at home all day. Today, I'm using the excuse of accompanying you two to finally go out openly. It's me who should be thanking you siblings instead. Don't say anything about being grateful again, or it would be impolite."
These warm words made Ling Jingxu feel very warm in her heart.
Yes, it's really too impolite to say these things!
Some feelings are better left unspoken. If others treat her with sincerity, she will repay them doubly when the opportunity arises.
Ling Jingyu quickly changed the subject: "We set off now, and it will take about an hour or so to arrive. I heard that on the first and fifteenth of every month, there are many patients queuing up in front of Hui Chun Tang. Will we be late?"
"That won't do. Luoyang has a curfew, and once the hour of zi is passed, the gate will be closed. It won't open again until the fifth watch." Ling Xi explained patiently: "We set out at the fifth watch, which is just right."
Wanting to leave early is also impossible. The shops are still all closed!
Wei Taigong wanted to leave the palace gate and go back to Hui Chun Tang, but he also had to wait until after the fifth watch before he could do so.
Jiang smiled and took over: "That day we went to Hui Chuntang, Han Guanshi had already received the name card of Ta Sun, and also remembered the name of Xiao Tangdi. We arrived there without waiting, and could see Wei Taidi directly. You don't have to worry."
It concerns whether Ling Xiang's eye disease can be cured, which is related to his fate and future. How could she not worry or feel anxious?
Ling Jingxu suppressed the anxiety in her heart and nodded with a smile.
Ling Xiao is more anxious, tense, worried and uneasy than Ling Jingyu.
It won't be long before we arrive at Hui Chun Tang and soon we will see Wei Tai Yi.
If Wei Taizhen's medical skills were exceptional and he really cured his eyes, he would be able to see the world again. Like all ordinary boys, he could study hard and take the imperial examination. At the very least, he could take care of himself and not become a burden to Ling Jingxuan anymore.
What if... even Imperial Physician Wei can't cure his eyes?
These days, Ling Xiao has been hearing about Wei Taigong's past glorious deeds. He also unknowingly placed great hope in Wei Taigong.
The more anxious you are, the stronger this feeling of gain and loss becomes.
Ling Xiao had been unable to eat or sleep well for several days. He had been carefully hiding it, not wanting Ling Jingxuan to know, so as not to worry her.
......
The more anxious you are, the longer the journey seems.
This is a long and arduous journey.
When the carriage stopped, even Ling Xi and his wife secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The horse carriage stopped far away. The road to Hui Chun Tang had to be walked on foot. Ling Xi and Ling Xiao also got off the horse carriage, while Ling Jingxian and Jiangshi carefully put on their veils before getting off the horse carriage.
There were already people coming one after another in front of the empty space of Huichuntang.
Most of the patients who came to see Wei Taigong were suffering from incurable diseases, and many of them were carried here. One by one, they showed painful expressions, but all of them tightly grasped their bamboo nameplates, as if drowning people grasping at the last straw.
Ling Jingyu took a fleeting glance. Seeing the glimmer of hope in the eyes of those patients, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Ling Xiao's beautiful and mysterious eyes also shone with the same light.
If it can cure eye diseases, no matter how much time, energy and money are spent, it is worth it. In case Wei Taishan is also helpless, Ling Xiang will be very disappointed...
"Ah-shu, don't worry."
The sister and brother had a special connection, often sensing each other's emotions when they were intense. Ling Xiao quietly took Ling Jingxuan's hand and said in a low voice, "If your eyes can be cured, I'll certainly be happy. If they can't be cured, I won't be too disappointed either. After all these years, I've gotten used to it."
Ling Jingxuan's nose turned sour, a thin layer of mist floated in her eyes, but she smiled lightly and said: "Hmm. I know Ah Xiao is the bravest."
As I walked up to the entrance of Hui Chun Tang, just as I was about to step inside, a sudden commotion broke out behind me.
"A middle-aged woman's voice rang out: 'Someone is going to die! Let us through quickly!'"
"You haven't even gotten a number plate, what makes you think you can cut in line?" The patients' family members who had rushed to get up early to queue were unhappy.
"I'm familiar with the rules of taking a number plate to see Dr. Chun Tang, but Wei Taitai has also made exceptions to the rules. It's just that it can't be delayed for a moment. At any time, she may stop breathing at any moment. This can't wait!"
"Get out of the way! Hurry up and let us put him down."
The middle-aged woman's voice was loud and rapid, drowning out everyone else's voices.
Everyone's attention was drawn over there.
Ling Jingxu slightly furrowed her brow and also looked over.
Something's off just by looking at it.
That middle-aged woman, plump and quite attractive, was dressed with great care, obviously the dignified and respectable housekeeper of a wealthy family.
A young girl with a pink dress and a veil stood beside the woman, her face and age could not be seen, slender figure, extraordinary temperament, also unknown which famous door thousand gold.
Behind the girl were several pretty maidservants. There were also more than a dozen strong and robust guards.
A woman's voice came from a patient who was about to die, it was a man in his 40s.
The man was carried over on a stretcher, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over, while also making extremely painful moaning sounds. He indeed looked like he had contracted a sudden illness.
The man wearing the servant's clothes, carrying the two attendants who came with him, didn't have much of a sorrowful or mournful look on his face, and roughly put the door panel on the ground.
The man's head heavily hit the door panel with a thud. Blood seeped out soon after.
A noble lady from a wealthy family, specially came out of her chambers to Spring Hall just to ask for medical treatment for a servant?
