Chapter 3: Visitors to the Palace

As they moved further away from the residence, Feng Baocai let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Young Master, who exactly are they?"

Over the past few years, he has followed Qin Feng and has become considerably bolder than before. However, he has never mingled in official circles, nor has he had close contact with anyone from the palace. Today, receiving the imperial edict was an eye-opener for him, and he did not expect to encounter someone from the palace again in the evening

Feng Bao is mimicking Qin Feng's tone and mannerisms, while Qin Feng himself remains silent, deliberately allowing this to happen

Feng Bao then understood the situation and was about to erupt in anger when Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, helping others is the priority. How did this elder brother know about my background and coincidentally block me here? We will discuss this later"

The elderly gentleman with a rosy complexion and white teeth sighed in relief: "I wonder if Doctor Qin will be available tomorrow at noon for a meeting with our master at Yuchun Tower."

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Feng Bao shivered, looking incredulously at the man on the bed, a eunuch? A court official?

The modern term for the method of angle manipulation is cupping therapy

A high-ranking official can easily crush a person, let alone the powerful figures in the palace. Qin Feng stood up and clasped his hands, saying: "At a quarter past noon, we shall meet without fail"

Feng Bao dispelled his doubts about this illness, but Qin Feng suddenly sat down, arms spread wide: "Young sir, do not tease me. With your robust health and profound internal strength, how could a mere cold afflict you so severely?"

Young Master, it is getting late, and the patient is not even anxious himself, insisting on dragging his illness along; let him do as he wishes. Feng Bao shouted, "The people in this courtyard are unreasonable; it is best for you not to pay them any mind."

Qin Feng smiled faintly, leading Feng Bao out the door without concern for any angles or methods.

A hand extends out: "Please, doctor, help me take my pulse"

The person on the sickbed seemed to hesitate for a moment. Feng Bao, surprised, said: "You people are quite strange. Having invited my young master, you should be at ease during the consultation. Why are you so hesitant? Enough of this; my young master is not a person to be trifled with. It is already quite late, and it is time for him to rest."

The elder, sitting cross-legged on the bed, remained composed, his tone colder than before. However, lacking one aspect of masculinity, his speech still carried a hint of softness: "Doctor Qin, a pleasure to meet you"

This man speaks in a soft and weak manner, taking three breaths to say a single sentence. He appears frail and his voice is a blend of masculine and feminine tones

and the book " ... ... "

Feng Bao is well aware of what this represents for the young master; it is the gaze of an eagle upon its prey

Feng Bao shivered, after all, the other party was a high-ranking official, and it was easy to imagine how noble their master was. The young master actually dared to openly challenge him; this was akin to putting one's head on the line, showing a complete disregard for his own safety

Feng Bao is also a young man, and he simply feels that this eunuch is somewhat good-looking

Esteemed physician, I have been shy around strangers since childhood, let alone undressing in front of others. I hope for your understanding. If it is not possible to proceed with the examination, may I inquire if you could prescribe some medicinal herbs that I can take?

As Qin Feng turned his head, he saw the man's half-dead appearance, as if he were on the verge of death. He let out a muffled grunt through his nose, wondering how this unsophisticated fellow could be so easily intimidated.

As soon as this person spoke, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Have we met? Even my surname Qin is known, and there is more than one doctor in the medical clinic."

This statement is quite interesting; it is not an invitation at all, but rather a command.

The instigator who pushed himself to be a candidate for the prince consort must be quite anxious, right? Qin Feng immediately adopted the attitude of a physician and said: "The physician's priority is to save lives. Where is the patient? What are the obvious symptoms? Should they be sent here, or should I come to their location?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately stood up, lifted his robe with both hands, and with a flick of his garment, pretended to leave.

Qin Feng was not polite; he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his hands, and calmly held the other person's pulse. At the same time, he glanced at the person on the bed, who was wrapped up tightly, revealing only a thick head of hair.

"Please remove your clothing," Qin Feng said. As he finished speaking, the person who had just escorted them in twitched his eyelids, as if he had heard something inappropriate. Qin Feng glanced at him and nonchalantly replied, "Isn't this for treating an illness? Since it is an emergency, we cannot afford any delays."

Please have Doctor Qin accompany me

Feng Bao nervously clenched his palms, anxiously watching our young master, silently praying for the protection of the gods from all directions

The courtyard appears quite ordinary from the outside, with a tall phoenix tree standing within. It is already late at night, yet the lights inside are still on

The frame is actually made of Huanghuali wood

The voice is hoarse, but not to the extent of being faint; it sounds somewhat weary

Qin Feng stepped inside, entering the room at a measured pace. He saw a person lying on the bed, completely covered by the quilt.

Ah, Qin Feng secretly chuckled, performing, letting you perform, comparing acting skills with me

Upon getting into the carriage, Qin Feng closed his eyes and disregarded everything, while Feng Bao sat in front of the carriage frame alongside that person

If one were to apply some lip balm and make the skin even more delicate, one could easily impersonate a woman. Even the figure looks quite feminine. Feng Bao had seen the eunuch who came to the residence to announce the imperial edict, and in comparison, this one before me is simply extraordinary

I am merely an ordinary physician. Although I hail from the residence of the Grand Tutor, I hold no official position and am just an ordinary commoner, having no connections with the palace. I do not understand why this esteemed eunuch has specially feigned illness to seek me out. What urgent matter could there be?

"What a fortunate encounter? To be toyed with at the dead of night? What kind of fortunate encounter is this?" Qin Feng's tone was languid as he leaned lazily against the back of the chair, a mocking smile playing at the corners of his mouth: "I wonder which noble in the palace has taken a liking to me?"

Qin Feng agreed so readily that those who came were somewhat taken aback, sizing him up from head to toe, and they completely forgot the words they had prepared.

Feng Bao, somewhat slow to react, asked in all seriousness how much longer it would be until they reached the residence. The man merely replied that they were almost there, and continued to urge the horse-drawn carriage forward. Eventually, they turned into an alley and, after disembarking, he led the two of them into a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

"When the wind invades the body, the quickest remedy is..." Qin Feng raised the corner of his mouth: "The Corner Method."

When Qin Feng spoke, he was too lazy to feign weakness, no longer coughing; his voice was more robust than usual, and his eyes sparkled with brilliance!

The person is so embarrassed that they feel like their head might fall off; this task has been handled with numerous flaws, and they will be severely punished upon returning

Qin Feng recalled the Mulan Poem learned in school, and wondered how that line goes—"the male and female are indistinguishable"

What do you think? Qin Feng looked up at the moon above and recalled a saying he learned many years ago—risk and opportunity coexist. What kind of fate does he share with the one in Yuchun Tower tomorrow? Let us wait and see.

As soon as the foot was lifted, the person on the bed suddenly sat up. He was a man who appeared to be somewhat older than Qin Feng, with a face like jade and skin so pale it was almost unbelievable. His long hair was disheveled, and although he was drenched in sweat, he still retained an air of elegance.

Qin Feng had Feng Bao go inside to fetch the medical kit, and then followed that person onto what appeared to be an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. As he got on, he caught a whiff of a spicy fragrance, causing the corners of Qin Feng's mouth to twitch. This 'patient' who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere was a wealthy individual.

The man who brought them was not at all displeased upon realizing that he had been exposed; instead, he was quite excited, saying, "Doctor Qin is truly formidable"
