Chapter One, at the Duke's residence.

A middle-aged man with a prominent forehead and a gleam of intelligence in his eyes strode out from the hall, asking, "What is the matter that you are in such a hurry?"

A handsome young man, around twenty years old, dressed in satin and draped with a snow-white fox fur on his shoulders, was shouting loudly from the carriage: "Where did this little brat come from? How dare he not yield to the carriage of a nobleman."

The doctor knew that the middle-aged man before him must be the master of this residence, Duke Guo, Pu Liu Ru Jian, and that the young woman was his wife, Du Gu Shi, Du Gu Jia Luo. The doctor quickly cupped his hands towards the middle-aged man and said, "Your Excellency, Duke, I pay my respects to you."

On the opposite side, there stood two boys under the age of ten on a magnificent carriage. These boys exuded an air of nobility, adorned with fine mutton-fat jade at their waists, and their attire was no less splendid than that of the young man who claimed to be a duke.

Note: Yang Jian was granted the title of Duke of Sui. At the time of establishing the Sui dynasty, Yang Jian found the character for 'Sui' to contain the radical for 'to walk,' which he deemed inauspicious. He created a new character, and 'Pu Liu Ru' was the surname bestowed upon him by Yang Jian. His Xianbei name was Pu Liu Ru Jian. Later, he became the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou and restored the Yang surname.

"Hit, hit to death, there is a powerful backer behind."

The carriage raced until it came to a stop in front of a luxurious mansion marked with the words "Duke of Sui's Residence." A guard jumped down from the carriage, holding the previously unconscious boy, and rushed straight into the mansion. Before even entering, the guard shouted loudly, "Quick, inform the master and the lady, the young master is in trouble"

He considers himself highly skilled in medicine, yet he does not dare to claim the ability to bring the dead back to life; he can only take preventive measures to avoid suffering the same fate of being expelled by the servants of the Duke's residence.

Two groups of people suddenly engaged in a brawl in the street, as if it were a gang fight on the street

The Duke and his wife fixed their gaze on Xu Yinzong's face, fearing that he might utter the words "no hope". Xu Yinzong was not comparable to those mediocre doctors before him; if he too was at a loss, then their son's illness would be doomed.

What has happened, and why is the carriage of the Duke of Suiguo also galloping wildly down the street

The carriage raced down the street like the wind: "Make way, make way."

The little boy was taken aback, hurriedly jumped down from the carriage, shook his brother's body, and seeing that he remained motionless, began to cry loudly: "Brother, wake up, wake up"

On the third day of March, the weather is new, and by the waters of Chang'an, there are many beautiful women

A surge of anger welled up in the doctor's heart; the Duke's residence was indeed too overbearing. He immediately thought of turning to leave, but upon seeing the guards watching him intently, he dismissed the thought.

Upon hearing the doctor's words, the guard, fearing that the Duke of the State might look down on him, quickly said: "Duke, this is Doctor Xu Yinzong, renowned for his medical skills throughout Chang'an. Even the palace has invited Doctor Xu to treat patients."

It is not good, my lord, madam, the eldest young master is in trouble

Upon seeing the boy in the guard's hands, the middle-aged man's expression changed dramatically: "Quick, please call a doctor"

The pedestrians on the street were suddenly thrown into chaos, with some vendors directly tossing their goods to the side of the road and hurriedly fleeing. Women tightly held onto their children, fearing that if they were struck by such a fast-moving horse-drawn carriage, they would either die or suffer severe injuries.

"I dare not, I dare not." The middle-aged man was about to decline a few more times, but Pu Liuru was impatient and said, "I have heard of the great name of Doctor Xu, please have the doctor take a look at my son quickly"

"Brother, we cannot allow this. He is merely a duke relying on his family background, far inferior to our father." The younger boy, displaying even more assertiveness, shouted as he saw his bodyguard retreating after being whipped by the other party's servant: "Charge forward, attack"

Passing through several houses, the doctor was led to a secluded courtyard, where the guard pushed open the door and said, "Your Excellency, Madam, another doctor has been invited."

"Rice buckets, a group of rice buckets, you have been raised for nothing usually." The young man was so angry that he jumped up.

Amor, why don't we let https://wwwhetushu.com.com take a look at it" said the older boy

Both masters stood on the carriage, rallying their followers. Although the young man's followers held whips in their hands, they were no match for the two boys who were unarmed. Gradually, the young man's subordinates were forced to retreat step by step, with several of them even falling to the ground and groaning loudly.

... ...

Behind the middle-aged man emerged a beautiful young woman in her twenties. Ignoring the dirt covering the boy, she snatched him from the guard's hands and, her voice choked with emotion, cried out: "Difa, Difa, wake up."

The guards who were fighting heard crying from behind, turned around to look, and saw their young master lying motionless on the ground. Unable to continue fighting, they stepped back. One guard hurriedly said: "Second Young Master, quickly, take the Eldest Young Master back to the residence"

A slender middle-aged doctor, carrying a medicine box, was just roughly pushed into the Duke's residence by a guard when he saw several colleagues being beaten out of the Duke's residence with clubs, while being scolded: "Quack, quack."

The carriage stirred up a cloud of dust as it passed through the street, leaving a trail of disorder in its wake. Once the carriage had gone far away, the pedestrians on the street dared to discuss it among themselves

Pu Liuru Jian waved his hand and said: "There is no need for excessive courtesy, divine doctor. Quickly, take a look at my son"

The young man was filled with rage, and with a fierce determination, he jumped down from the carriage, picked up a stone from the ground, and hurled it at the boy who was shouting the loudest. The older boy, noticing something flying towards his younger brother, quickly pulled him aside, only paying attention to the fight in front of him: "Amor, be careful"

Hit him, hit him hard for me

"Please hurry, please hurry." An anxious voice came from the room

"Good, well done, you will be richly rewarded upon your return." In contrast, the two boys were laughing and smiling on the cart

I do not dare to accept the title of National Duke and Divine Doctor; I will do my utmost. However, medicine cannot cure all ailments, and if I am unable to discern the issue, I hope the National Duke will not take offense

A stone struck the back of the big boy's head, causing him to sway a few times before he fell off the cart

The servants coming out of the mansion were all taken aback upon seeing the boy held in the arms of the guard, and the entire residence of the Duke of Sui was instantly thrown into chaos

"Go, hurry up." The young man saw that the other party had fainted and, losing the will to continue fighting, commanded his followers to turn the carriage around and leave quickly

The doctor also stepped into the room, where he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a python belt and jade robe pacing back and forth. On a large bed lay a handsome boy, his eyes tightly closed, with barely perceptible breaths. Beside the bed sat a beautiful young woman in her twenties, holding the boy's hand and silently shedding tears. Strangely, there was also a seven or eight-year-old child kneeling under the bed, his face showing deep sorrow, while his two eyes darted around restlessly.

Oh my, is it possible that the Four Evils of the Capital are to become the Five Evils? How is one to survive in this world?

It is now March in Chang'an, where the spring scenery is bright and beautiful, willow catkins dance with the wind, and the green grass sprouts tender shoots. However, at this moment on the streets of Chang'an, there are no beautiful women to be seen; instead, two groups of people are in a tense standoff, and those around them keep their distance, fearing to be caught in the crossfire.

Xu Yinzong then approached the bedside, carefully examining the boy's body. He also took the boy's pulse and found it to be unusually tight. At times, it was tense and strong, but just as he felt it, the pulse weakened again. He had never encountered such a pulse before, so he could only close his eyes tightly and ponder deeply in his heart

"Make way, make way." As soon as the young man finished speaking, several wicked servants immediately lashed their whips forward, producing a crackling sound in the air

This doctor appears as if he is in his thirties, with a long beard beneath his forehead, and his handsome features add a touch of ethereal charm, making a favorable impression at first sight. In this era, men can marry at the age of 15 and women at 13, yet this doctor is actually over 40 years old, and he does not mind referring to himself as an old man.
