Chapter 008: Consultation

Rumors regarding the critical illness of Shen Gong'ao in Zhenhai City are escalating increasingly.

The eldest son, Shen Wuzhuo, had a face as resolute as iron, appearing indifferent as he flipped through the documents in his hand

Lin Dao Miao Dao: "Regarding this ailment, the Medical Institute of Tianshui Academy has a total of five recorded cases, none of which were successfully treated"

At that moment, the voice of Abu could be heard from outside

If he falls, the Shen family will truly face a catastrophic disaster

If it truly cannot be cured, each episode will worsen the body. In this case, it is necessary to make early preparations, calling both sons back as a precaution.

Desperately closing my eyes, but it is completely useless

... ...

Shen Gong'ao, invincible in his dominance, amidst scenes of countless slaughters, blood splattering, and heads flying.

A full quarter of an hour has passed

The neural pathway is as follows: "The human brain controls all parts of the body. My lord, this indicates a pathological change in the brain. Your right leg is paralyzed, which means there is a pathological change in the left hemisphere of the brain"

In the eyes of everyone, if anyone can cure Shen Gong'ao, it is undoubtedly this Master Lin Daomiao before us

At that moment, Mu Hongyu and everyone present fell into despair

Everyone around held their breath, especially the three doctors, their gazes towards Lin Daomiao filled with anticipation and admiration

In an instant ... ...

Lin Dao Miao Dao: "The heart of a doctor is akin to that of a parent. As long as there is a possibility of healing, I will certainly do my utmost. However, this illness of the Marquis is beyond the remedy of medicine or stones. Please forgive this old man for his inability to assist, and I take my leave!"

Everyone around was overjoyed, and Shen Gong'ao said: "I can actually feel my right leg now. For the past few days, my right leg has been numb and completely devoid of sensation"

"The people I worked so hard to save, you all just killed them without a second thought." Lin Daomiao said, "Although I do not particularly like His Excellency the Marquis, I will still do my utmost."

The entire body convulses wildly. Various bends and twists occur, completely uncontrollable

He did not utter a single threat

Lin Dao Miao, who is already ninety-three years old this year, appears to be no more than in his sixties. His hair and beard are completely white, yet his face is as smooth and rosy as a peeled egg, without a single wrinkle

Including the governor of Nanhai County, the president of Zhenhai Academy, and the vassals of the Mi family, all who went to visit Lord Shen Gong'ao were turned away at the door

It has relapsed again

Shen Gong'ao was exceedingly tyrannical, daring to kill anyone. Although Lin Daomiao held a prestigious status and no one in the entire South would dare to kill him, Shen Gong'ao might not hesitate to take action when the matter was of great importance

Several shadows moved aside, and Lin Dao Miao Li disappeared from sight

Shen Wuyu said: "If I truly abandon the important matters here and recklessly return to Zhenhai City, that would play into the hands of certain people's schemes. If my father were to fall at this moment, those surrounding wolves would have long since pounced, completely dividing and devouring the foundation of the Shen family. What difference would there be in the struggle between my elder brother and me? Without the skin, where would the hair attach?"

The eldest son, Shen Wuzhuo, bears a striking resemblance to Lord Shen Gong'ao, standing tall like a mountain and exuding a majestic presence like steel

Mu Hongyu asked: "What illness is this"

Even if Shen Gong'ao is not in any life-threatening danger, whichever son is present at this moment will have the initiative in inheritance rights

With Shen Gong'ao absent, the eldest son Shen Wuzhuo serves as the supreme commander of the private army of twenty thousand families

Mu Hongyu stated: "Moreover, with each episode, the symptoms of paralysis become increasingly severe"

If Shen Gong'ao does not recover, then whoever is in Zhenhai City will hold the initiative and become the new Zhenhai Marquis

And at this moment

Mu Hongyu, who was beside her, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Master Lin Daomiao, I have offended you on several occasions before, please forgive me"

It is precisely at this critical moment

Tianshui Academy, the chief master of the Medical Path Institute, the foremost physician in the south

They were received by Madam Mu Hongyu, who stated that Lord Shen Gong'ao was currently in seclusion for cultivation and it was not appropriate for him to meet guests

Multiple signs are proving that the rumors are not merely rumors

Young Master, the rumors are escalating. It has spread throughout the army that the Marquis is gravely ill. The Second Young Master has sealed off the news and has secretly left Magic Stone City, heading to Zhenhai City to plot for the title of Marquis.

Lin Dao Miao Dao: "Brainstorm!"

Mu Hongyu said: "Slow down!"

Having said that, he was about to turn and leave directly

Mu Hongyu felt cold all over, and even the faint path in the forest could not be cured. It seems that there is truly no hope left

Mu Hongyu asked: "Is this illness possibly treatable?"

"I hope you have been well, Master Lin Daomiao." Shen Gong'ao said: "I did not expect our meeting once again to be in such circumstances"

He wore a white cloak and secretly entered the Marquis of Zhenhai's residence to provide medical treatment for Shen Gong'ao

Master, the Third Young Master Wuqie has forcefully barged in. Should we stop him

The aide shook his head and said, "No need, I will take care of it immediately"

Here it comes, again!

"Second Young Master, this is already the fifth piece of intelligence that has been received. Rumors are rampant in Zhenhai City, and they have even spread to Magic Stone City and throughout all the fiefs of our Shen family, stating that the Marquis is gravely ill and on the brink of death." A middle-aged man bowed and asked, "At this critical moment, are you sure you will not return to Zhenhai City?"

Suddenly, several figures appeared abruptly, blocking Lin Daomiao's path.

... ...

He will not return. Shen Wuyu said: "If he really went, it would instead make me happy, and he would no longer be worthy of being my opponent."

Several doctors rushed forward, yet they were completely at a loss and had no idea how to treat the condition

The key point is that many prominent figures are visiting the marquis's residence one after another

Shen Gong'ao's right leg moved, twitching slightly, with the knee bending and then straightening out again

Previously, only the right leg was affected, but now the entire right side of the body is completely paralyzed

The middle-aged advisor said: "But what about the eldest son? What if he really goes to Zhenhai City?"

Have the court officials not finished measuring yet? Does it really take so long to measure such a small piece of red earth?

Mu Hongyu said: "Master Lin, we are willing to pay any price"

Time passed second by second

Lin Daomiao said: "I will keep it a secret, but if you truly do not trust me, then just eliminate me."

Lin Daomiao is the foremost divine physician of the South and the master of the Tianshui Medical Institute. If even he cannot cure it, then it is truly an incurable disease

Shen Gong'ao's heart roared in agony: "Heaven, if you think my killings are too severe, then just take me away, let me die suddenly, why must you torment me so?"

Frontline military camp

Shen Wuyu resembles his mother, possessing a handsome and elegant demeanor, exuding an air of nobility.

Look at the majestic Shen Gong'ao on this bed; despite being ill, he still exudes an imposing presence, radiating authority without anger. Numerous images involuntarily surfaced in Lin Daomiao, the divine physician's mind.

... ...

Lin Dao did not pause for a moment and walked towards the door. He knew that if he did not leave now, he might not be able to leave at all

If Shen Gong'ao does not appear soon, the situation will become even more unfavorable

Master Lin Daomiao took out a silver needle and gently inserted it into several acupoints of Shen Gong'ao, then turned it slightly

A doctor beside him said: "Master, we have examined the marquis thoroughly and found that he is indeed in very good health, yet his right leg is paralyzed. Moreover, every other day, he suddenly experiences dizziness and vertigo. It is truly strange; I have no idea why this is happening, nor do I understand what illness he has."

Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that in this painful convulsion and distortion, he felt that the entire right side of his body was completely paralyzed, having utterly lost all sensation

Then, she waved her hand

Having said that, Lin Daomiao stepped forward to examine Shen Gong'ao's body

After quite a while, he trembled and said: "Husband, should we... should we let the eldest and the second come back for a visit?"

Terrifying epilepsy

The divine physician Lin Daomiao has arrived

Mu Hongyu stepped forward, desperately embracing her husband to maintain his dignity

Dizziness and vertigo, the world spins around.

Indeed

Shen Gong'ao suddenly felt a tremor in his body, followed by a sharp pain in his brain

"Fool, that is exactly how you fell into the enemy's trap," Shen Wuzhuo said. "Unless my father writes the letter himself, I will not believe anything! Pass the order down, do not wait any longer! Our troops will set out immediately to occupy the Hongtu territory"

However, that is still not the territory of the Shen family, and it is still being measured. Our army's stationing there is unreasonable and would fall under the authority of others

"Not yet," said the court official, "the illness is due to the local climate and soil, so the measurement of time must be postponed." The aide beside him said, "Eldest son, you can entrust this matter to the General without illness, and you should secretly proceed to Zhenhai City to avoid being passive."

At this point, the rumor is no longer that Shen Gong'ao is seriously ill, but rather that he has already passed away

Truly deserving of the title of divine physician

The middle-aged advisor said: "But... what if the eldest son abandons his current affairs and leads the troops back to Zhenhai City? And if the marquis's illness is indeed real, then... we would be at a disadvantage."

Consequently, the measurement work of the frontline court working group has come to a complete standstill, and friction and even conflict have arisen between the court's army and the army of the Shen family

However, Shen Gong'ao has not made a public appearance for several consecutive days, and the defenses of the marquis's residence have evidently become much more stringent

Shen Gong'ao gazed at Lin Daomiao for a long time, then waved his hand and said: "I believe, let Master Lin leave"

Sit like a mountain, stand like a sword

How should the Shen family navigate the crisis that lies ahead?

Shen Wuyu said: "My father did not write to me asking me to return, so why should I go back?"

He did not dare to speak too plainly, but the meaning was very clear

Shen Gong'ao's complexion was pale, and his breathing was rapid

Shen Wuzhuo said: "If you are afraid of this and afraid of that, then you will not accomplish anything. Is there no reason to station troops? Can't we find one? Just say that the army of the Great Li Kingdom has disguised itself as bandits to occupy the Hongtu territory, and our army will go to eliminate the bandits. As for how those bandits arrived, do I need to teach you?"
