Chapter 369: Since I have come, it just so happens that I also know some medical skills

But this was not the most painful part. The most painful part was that even if they hated him this much inwardly, these Wei family men still had to face Li Chen with smiles, showing that being able to serve Li Chen was their greatest honor.

Still the same sentence, if they weren't remnants of the previous dynasty, they might not have been this humble.

Actually, this was still Li Chen being subtle; if it were another place, these Wei Fu female relatives wouldn't just be massaging shoulders and legs.

That scene would probably make Pan Chengwu and Wei Yu vomit blood from anger and die on the spot.

And at this moment, Pan Chengwu discovered that Wei Mingde was even directing Wei Lu to serve tea and water for Li Chen, which made him furious.

I can't beat Li Chen, and I really don't dare to say anything, but what qualifications do you have to direct my wife to do things?

You like directing so much, right? Let's see later.

Not long after, the dishes on the table were all set, all mountain and sea delicacies, which they might not even be able to eat this well usually.

At the dining table, it was still the old rule: Li Chen moved his chopsticks first, and only then did they dare to move; if Li Chen paused slightly, they wouldn't dare to continue eating, all looking at Li Chen's face.

Pan Chengwu letting his wife invite the Emperor over was not just a simple matter of having a meal.

Because at the same dining table, Pan Chengwu could also be considered to have chatted with Li Chen for two sentences.

At this time, Li Chen was chatting with Wei Manping about some family matters.

Pan Chengwu saw the opportunity and took over the topic, saying: "Manping, is your mother sick today? Why didn't she come to eat?"

Hearing this, Li Chen also looked at Wei Manping with concerned eyes and asked: "Really? There is an imperial physician accompanying; I can let the imperial physician help take a look."

Wei Manping had served Li Chen very well recently; with this figure and face, plus that charm, it was only right for Li Chen to care about her.

Although he didn't know why Pan Chengwu opened this topic, facing Li Chen's inquiry, Wei Manping still immediately answered: "Oh, mother caught a cold and is resting in the inner room. I estimate she is already better now. Sorry to trouble Your Majesty for your concern."

Before Li Chen could say anything, Pan Chengwu continued: "It is rare for Your Majesty to be able to come personally. Being able to gaze upon the holy face is also something your mother has been thinking about day and night. Since the illness is already cured, call her over."

Pan Chengwu was determined to pit Wei Mingde today; it was estimated that no one could stop him.

Li Chen, however, said: "It's fine. Since the cold is just cured, it is better to rest first and not walk around casually. It is better if I go to see her personally."

Li Chen's words sounded polite, but he was the Emperor; who dared to refuse his words?

The reason he said this was also because he was very curious.

Wei Manping's appearance was outstanding; it would not be an exaggeration to say she was a peerless beauty.

Being able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter, Li Chen was also somewhat looking forward to what her mother looked like.

Just like last time, when Li Chen saw Wang Yueyao, he guessed that her mother must also be a peerless beauty.

Anyway, since lunch was finished, Li Chen also planned to move around.

Besides, Wei Manping was single and could be an imperial consort in the future, so it was only right for him to care about her.

Hearing Li Chen say this, Wei Manping also obediently led Li Chen to the backyard.

Originally, Wei Manping's mother wasn't sick, but it seemed that upon hearing the news, she immediately lay on the bed, pretending to be weak.

Under Wei Manping's guidance, Li Chen passed through several courtyards, bypassed a rippling pond, and arrived at a quiet and elegant small courtyard.

The maids along the way saw the holy carriage and immediately knelt and bowed, even breathing extremely lightly.

Pushing open the carved wooden door, a faint, elegant fragrance rushed towards them.

The furnishings in the room were simple and elegant, and a pot of "Moon Shadow Orchid" by the window was spitting out clear fragrance.

On the bed, a beautiful woman was about to get up to salute.

She was only draped in a plain white thin gauze, which slipped slightly due to her movement, revealing rounded shoulders and a patch of snow-white skin.

Just seeing her for the first time, Li Chen knew his trip was not in vain. It turned out the Wei family still hid such a peerless beauty; why didn't they say so earlier?

It seems this kid Pan Chengwu is very sensible.

Actually, Li Chen was also very curious just now why Pan Chengwu opened this mouth; now he understood.

Perhaps Pan Chengwu wanted to slaughter Li Chen, but in Li Chen's eyes, this was a loyal subject!

"No need for formalities."

Li Chen raised his hand to signal, but his gaze couldn't help but linger on the woman for a moment.

Where does this look like someone who has given birth to a child?

Madam Wei's cloud-like hair was slightly messy, adding a bit of lazy charm.

Although she pretended to be weak, those apricot eyes were moist and bright, and there was a natural romantic charm in her glances.

The figure under the thin gauze was plump and graceful, but the waist was still as slender as a young girl, and the full curves on her chest rose and fell gently with her breathing.

The most wonderful thing was the temperament of her whole body, which had both the charm of a mature woman and a bit of the reserve of a lady.

A tear mole at the corner of her eye made her even more pitiful and moving.

"This concubine has been rude..."

Her voice was soft and charming with a hint of hoarseness, like a feather gently scratching at one's heart.

Li Chen sighed inwardly: No wonder she could give birth to such a peerless beauty as Wei Manping; it turns out that like mother, like daughter.

This Madam Wei looked to be only in her early thirties; some would even believe it if one said she was Wei Manping's sister.

Wei Manping observed Li Chen's expression from the side, and seeing where his gaze was directed, she was both happy and worried.

What she was happy about was that her mother was indeed still charming; what she was worried about was...

Li Chen suddenly spoke: "Madam's complexion is not bad; it seems the cold is no longer a major problem."

Madam Wei's eyes turned, and she said softly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune."

It could be seen that Madam Wei was still somewhat afraid of Li Chen, and she didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"Since I have come, it just so happens that I also know some medical skills."

Li Chen seemed to be hinting at something.

After all, this was the Wei Fu, and the Wei family was respectful to him, so Li Chen could still give them some face.

Who knew that at this time, Pan Chengwu showed an expression of "great joy," saying: "Then I will trouble Your Majesty. Let us go out first."

He knew what was going to happen next, but he didn't care.

This left Wei Manping and Wei Mingde on the side dumbfounded.

With you saying it like that, what can we say?

If we had the slightest disagreement, wouldn't that be resisting an imperial decree?

In that instant, the surrounding Wei family members all seemed to feel: Are Li Chen and Pan Chengwu in the same gang? They cooperate quite well.

Even Pan Chengwu's wife, Wei Lu, felt that her husband was crazy; isn't this just giving it away for free?

Pan Chengwu naturally didn't care; anyway, mine had already been sent, so I don't feel heartache for the one being sent now.

In the room, Pan Chengwu finished his bad deed and left directly. A palace maid from the palace looked at Wei Manping and Wei Mingde and made a gesture of invitation.

Only then did they respectfully express their gratitude to Li Chen and then walked out.

The palace maid left last and closed the door.

Now only Li Chen and that even more peerless and plump Madam Wei remained in the room.
