An Jing said, "Neither my husband nor I can bear to see our little son on medication for life, so we can first seek out Gong Juechen to examine Yun Er. If he can’t cure him, we’ll think of other methods."
Seeing An Jing’s determination, Fang Shicai then said, "Gong Juechen’s whereabouts are erratic, but he is often active in the South Shen area. When it comes to treating people, he is driven solely by his whims. If he himself is not pleased and unwilling to help, even if you killed him, he would not offer his assistance. It is for this reason that the people in the South Shen area have dubbed him the Stubborn Doctor."
An Jing frowned in distress and said, "But what do we do if we find him and he is unwilling to help?"
At that moment, Meng Lanqing happened to bring in tea.
As soon as Fang Shicai laid eyes on Meng Lanqing’s stunning and breathtaking face, his eyes lit up and he said, "Gong Juechen befriends only those who are good-looking, and only those who are attractive can please him. If General Meng were to seek him out, I believe he would certainly come to treat the young master."
Meng Lanqing: "..." Good-looking... Can’t this imperial physician be dealt with a single blow?
Only friends with good-looking people...
After a moment of silence, An Jing turned to Meng Lanqing and asked, "Would you be willing to go to the South Shen area to find this Stubborn Doctor?"
In his heart, Meng Lanqing thought: I don’t wish to go!
He truly detested when people complimented his looks! And he was especially averse to the idea that people thought he was good-looking! He genuinely felt it was an insult to him!
But upon catching a glimpse of Xiao Changyi’s cold gaze sweeping over him, Meng Lanqing immediately said, "I am willing to go!"
An Jing smiled and said, "Then we will be troubling you." After a pause, she continued, "You can leave the rice store in your brother’s care for now, and you can take over again when you return."
Even though he really didn’t want to, compared to searching for a man who liked to make friends with good-looking people, Meng Lanqing still preferred managing the rice store as the Store Manager. Nevertheless, Meng Lanqing replied with utmost respect, "Yes."
An Jing said, "Then pack your things and head to South Shen as soon as possible."
"Yes." Having agreed, and after respectfully bowing to An Jing and Xiao Changyi, Meng Lanqing then withdrew from the inner chamber.
Seeing Meng Lanqing leave, An Jing turned back to Fang Shicai and asked, "Have you seen the prescription Doctor Jiang has written to regulate Yun Er’s condition?"
Fang Shicai honestly replied, "Doctor Jiang showed it to me earlier."
An Jing asked, "Do you find anything inappropriate with the prescription? Do we need to switch to a different one?" The medical expertise of the man in front of her surpassed that of Doctor Jiang, so naturally, if he had a better prescription for her little son, she would switch.
Fang Shicai did not comment directly on whether the prescription was suitable or not, but simply said, "If you were to ask me to prescribe, I would prescribe the same thing."
An Jing nodded, indicating she understood. Then she said, "You may rest for a couple of days in Qilin County before returning to the Capital."
She had only learned about Hecheng County being renamed Qilin County after the Emperor of Xiyun had mentioned it in a letter.
"Thank you, Prince and Princess, for your understanding. Your servant is extremely grateful," Fang Shicai sincerely said.
He really was getting old.
He truly needed to rest for a couple of days before setting off again.
After Fang Shicai left the inner chamber, An Jing looked at her little son again, and after a long moment, she sighed and said, "Husband, do you think that Gong Juechen can really cure Yun Er?"
Xiao Changyi had just finished dressing their little fellow, Su Yixing. Hearing An Jing’s words, he took her hand and held it tightly.
His thin lips parted, and he softly said, "Fang Shicai is a man of composure who never speaks thoughtlessly. If he didn’t have great confidence, he would never mention Gong Juechen."
