The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 463: The Imperial Physician's Visit

"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician?"

General Cao called out softly when he saw the imperial physician standing there in amazement looking at Zhao Ting'er.

"Old General, Madam, I am sorry for my impoliteness!"

Hearing General Cao's voice, the imperial physician came to his senses and bowed to the two of them to apologize.

He had been treating high-ranking officials and nobles for decades and had long developed the habit of not showing his emotions. However, Zhao Ting'er's condition was so strange that he was stunned for a moment.

"Nothing, I was also very shocked when I first learned about Madam's condition, so I asked you to come and see Madam!"

The old general waved his hand and smiled, not blaming the imperial physician for his impoliteness.

As for Zhao Ting'er, she would not blame him at all. She was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.

"Thank you, old general, madam, for your tolerance. Madam, please take a seat. I will take your pulse right away!"

The imperial physician raised his hand and asked Zhao Ting'er to sit down at the table, and took out a pulse pillow, a silk handkerchief and other items from the medicine box he carried with him.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician!"

Zhao Ting'er said politely, sat upright at the table, stretched out her hand, placed it on the pulse pillow, and said no more.

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Amazing! It's really amazing!"

After a long time, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and murmured in disbelief.

"Imperial Physician, how is Madam's health? Is there anything wrong?"

General Cao asked anxiously after the imperial physician had taken his pulse.

"Oh, old general, Madam is in good health and full of vitality. There will be no problem. May I ask if Madam has taken any panacea?"

The imperial physician first stood up and answered General Cao's words, then bowed to Zhao Ting'er and asked.

He had previously guessed that Zhao Ting'er's poison was related to General Cao, so he did not say anything like congratulating General Cao.

When he took Zhao Ting'er's pulse today, he didn't expect that not only were all the toxins in her body cleared, but her body was also bursting with such great vitality. As a doctor, he developed a strong interest in Zhao Ting'er and couldn't help but ask about her.

General Cao, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard the imperial physician say that Zhao Ting'er was in good health. How could this be possible? His men had been guarding here all the time. How did they cure Zhao Ting'er's poison?

Hearing the imperial physician asking Zhao Ting'er the reason, he pretended to be very happy, came to Zhao Ting'er, and asked, "Madam, I am very happy that you are in good health, but I am also curious, has anyone fed you the magic medicine recently? I must prepare a generous gift and come to thank you in person!"

"I have been taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician to warm my body. I have not taken any other medicine, nor have I seen anyone else!"

Zhao Ting'er herself was also very puzzled. She had been taking the imperial physician's medicine for some time, and her body had been gradually aging without any improvement. But when she got up this morning, her body had recovered to a large extent.

“That’s strange!”

Seeing that Zhao Ting'er didn't seem to be lying, the imperial physician stroked his beard, his face full of surprise!

"Maybe it's God's blessing that your medicine suddenly took effect today! Thank you, imperial physician. Come, prepare a generous gift for the imperial physician!"

General Cao's eyes flickered slightly, he bowed to the imperial physician and said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ting'er quickly stood up and bowed to the imperial physician to express her gratitude.

"No! No! I dare not take credit for it. It is impossible for that recipe to have such a miraculous effect. Madam must have had a fortuitous encounter. I will take my leave now!"

The imperial physician waved his hands repeatedly and said, then he quickly packed up the pulse pillow and other things, bowed to General Cao and Zhao Ting'er and took his leave.

"Imperial Physician, I will take you there!"

Seeing that the imperial physician was about to leave, General Cao took the thank-you gift prepared by his subordinates for the imperial physician and personally escorted him out of the mansion.

"Old General, please stay. I accept this gift. Please rest assured, I will not say anything more about the affairs of the mansion!"

The imperial physician took the tray from General Cao and spoke in a low voice. After that, he bowed to General Cao, turned around, got on the carriage and left.

General Cao looked at the direction where the imperial physician's carriage left for a long time without moving.

Seeing his master's gloomy expression, the guard stepped forward and whispered, "Master, we have been following your orders in recent days and have been taking turns guarding Madam's courtyard. I guarantee with my life that no strangers have been allowed into the courtyard. Madam has always been served by Madam Zhao."

"Got it. You continue to stay by my lady's side and report any disturbance immediately!"

General Cao narrowed his eyes and gave orders in a low voice.

"I obey my orders!"

"Let's go back to Madam's courtyard!"

General Cao adjusted his facial expression and put on a very happy look, then the master and servant turned around and went back home.

At this time, in Zhao Ting'er's courtyard.

"Madam, I am relieved now. God bless you, there is really no problem with your health!"

Aunt Zhao happily wiped her tears with a handkerchief, walked up to Zhao Ting'er and said.

"I wish Madam good health and a long life!"

Xi Que had been quietly paying attention to the movements in the room. Seeing this, he knelt down in front of Zhao Ting'er and said in a crisp voice.

The other maids reacted quickly and knelt on the ground as well.

"I wish Madam good health and a long life!"

"That's a thoughtful one, Mammy, reward!"

Seeing the maids were so considerate, Zhao Ting'er was very happy. She patted Madam Zhao's hand and said with a smile.

"I will serve you diligently from now on, Madam. Do you understand?"

Nanny Zhao took the order, took out a few pieces of silver from her purse and put them in the hands of the maids personally, while giving instructions.

"Yes, I will work hard!"

The maids were very happy to receive the reward and fell to the ground to thank him in unison.

"Okay, you guys go down, I have something to talk to Mammy!"

Zhao Ting'er raised her hand and said lightly.

The maids received the order and left one after another.

"Madam, what are your orders?"

Nanny Zhao returned to Zhao Ting'er and asked softly.

"Mammy, we have to find a way to contact Hongmei and ask her to come to my side for personal protection. My illness this time is a little strange, and my recovery is also very strange!"

Zhao Ting'er calmed down from her past excitement, looked at the guards in the courtyard, and said quietly.

"Madam, I once mentioned to the master that I wanted to use the excuse of buying someone to bring Hongmei into the mansion, but the master said that he was afraid that his enemies would take revenge on him recently, so he asked me to choose someone from the maids in the mansion to serve him."

Aunt Zhao said with a frown.

"If this way doesn't work, let's try another way."

Zhao Ting'er admired her fingers, which had mostly recovered, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Just as Nanny Zhao was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of General Cao entering the courtyard, so she stopped talking, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Ting'er, and stepped behind her.

"Master, you are back! I have something to discuss with you!"

When Zhao Ting'er saw General Cao coming, she stood up, walked towards him and spoke softly.

"Ma'am, please go ahead."

General Cao helped Zhao Ting'er sit down at the table and replied with a smile.

After saying that, he turned around and told the guards to set the table in the front hall and prepare some of Zhao Ting'er's favorite dishes, which he and his wife would eat together later.

"Master, I am fine now. I have been staying in the mansion for a long time and feel very depressed. I want to go out for a walk and check on the business of the shops."

Zhao Ting'er handed the tea to General Cao and spoke slowly.

"Madam, it's good for you to go out and get some fresh air, but don't overwork yourself. It's important to take care of your body first. Madam, you still have to keep these guards with you, so that I can rest assured."

General Cao paused while holding the tea, took a sip, and smiled.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, sir!"

Zhao Ting'er stood up and bowed to General Cao.

"Madam, please take a rest first. I'm going to the study in the front yard to take care of some things. We'll have dinner together later."

General Cao helped Zhao Ting'er up, patted her hands and said.

"Master, take care!"

After instructing Madam Zhao to take good care of Zhao Ting'er, General Cao turned and left.

As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared and he looked terribly gloomy.
