Chapter 1299: Ready to Turn Hostile at the Slightest Disagreement

~8 min read 1,568 words

Wang Hai came to the Heavenly Prison in the middle of the night for the appointment. This time the treatment was finally better, with wine and dishes. A soft couch was also prepared for rest.

Seeing this treatment, he knew there was definitely nothing good.

His mood was immediately not very pleasant.

But then he thought, helping means money, and his mood improved again.

So it is said, eunuchs are fickle, even harder to guess than a woman's mind.

Chen Guanlou seemed not to see the change in the other's expression, greeting him with a smile, extremely enthusiastic. A complete change from his previous attitude where his nose wasn't a nose and his eyes weren't eyes.

Wang Hai was very disdainful. "Brother Chen, you are arrogant before and humble after, don't you feel ashamed?"

Chen Guanlou was not at all weak, opening his mouth and starting to talk nonsense. "We are brothers, how can there be any shame? If I were enthusiastic every time I saw you, you would probably suspect that I harbor evil intentions. Occasionally giving you a cold face is treating you as one of my own. If you weren't one of my own, how could I give you a cold face?"

This seemed to make some sense.

Wang Hai's IQ didn't seem to be online at this moment.

He drank a cup of wine, feeling a bit smug. That's right, only one's own people would casually give cold faces and lose their temper, and occasionally being treated poorly was normal.

"Why did you call me here?"

"Does Brother Wang know the situation of Imperial Concubine Tong?"

"Why do you ask about her? Just an old Imperial Concubine, relying on a bit of affection from His Majesty, she has some face in the palace." Wang Hai's tone was contemptuous; it could be heard that in his eyes, Imperial Concubine Tong was not worth mentioning and was not an important figure.

An old Imperial Concubine without value, being able to be supported with dignity, was the best result. She would definitely not dare to make waves in the palace. If not for herself, she had to think for her maiden family.

"I heard she is ill."

"There is such a thing."

"The Taiyi Academy invited foreign aid and invited it to my Heavenly Prison. Do you know about this?" Chen Guanlou mentioned this matter very casually.

Wang Hai frowned slightly, seemingly surprised. "As far as I know, Imperial Concubine Tong has a tumor on her body, and it has been several years. Recently, the Imperial Physicians have indeed been running to the harem frequently. Mu Yiguan Mu cut a tumor a few days ago, and I heard the patient survived. No wonder the Taiyi Academy would set their sights on Mu Yiguan Mu."

"You heard about this too?" Chen Guanlou never expected that Mu Yiguan Mu's one surgery would attract so much attention.

"For such a big thing, of course, I have to pay attention. You might not know, cutting a tumor is not simple. In previous years, out of ten tumor cuttings, at least seven or eight died. Mu Yiguan Mu not only succeeded in cutting the tumor, but he also cut a tumor on the neck, and the patient survived, which is extremely rare. People eat grains, and no one can guarantee they won't get sick or grow tumors. Even if there is no illness, for the sake of those around them, they have to pay attention."

Wang Hai's thinking was exactly what most people were thinking right now.

Everyone was secretly paying attention to Mu Yiguan Mu. However, Mu Yiguan Mu was old, and it was estimated that he only had a few years left to operate. Fortunately, Mu Yiguan Mu was fully cultivating his eldest grandson, Mu Wenxu. It is said that last time he cut the tumor, Mu Wenxu was the assistant.

And many smart people could guess that Mu Yiguan Mu insisted on staying in the Heavenly Prison, definitely aiming at the large amount of patient resources in the Heavenly Prison and the large number of opportunities to practice. Regarding the treatment of various external injuries, the Mu family was three points stronger than the Imperial Physicians of the Taiyi Academy. Now that even tumors could be successfully cut, staying in the Heavenly Prison was indeed right.

Precisely because of this, these smart people did not intend to transfer Mu Yiguan Mu away from the Heavenly Prison. Just let the Mu family descendants practice in the Heavenly Prison for generations. Once the medical skills are practiced, the beneficiaries are all these nobles.

Now that the palace wants to invite Mu Yiguan Mu to cut the tumor for Imperial Concubine Tong, the whole capital, inside and outside the palace, is paying attention to this matter.

If Mu Yiguan Mu can succeed in cutting tumors twice in a row, tsk... his value will increase greatly in the future!

"Did you call me here just for this?" Wang Hai asked curiously.

Chen Guanlou nodded. "The Taiyi Academy is not acting like humans, only allowing Mu Yiguan Mu to bring his granddaughter into the palace to cut the tumor. But Mu Yiguan Mu told me that he must bring his grandson Mu Wenxu into the palace to help. His granddaughter has only handled ordinary external injuries and is not qualified for the job of cutting tumors. Without his eldest grandson as an assistant, he has no confidence and is worried about something going wrong. And..."

Chen Guanlou pointed in the direction of the Jia-grade prison.

"You should know about Prince Anping."

Wang Hai raised his eyebrows slightly. "You mean the fact that he is very accurate?"

Chen Guanlou nodded. "I treat you as a brother, so I tell you the truth."

Wang Hai was very pleased with this, feeling very comfortable, and a little smug.

"What truth?"

"Prince Anping took a look at Mu Yiguan Mu and said that Mu Yiguan Mu has a disaster of blood this time. Unless I protect him, he can avoid it. So, when Mu Yiguan Mu enters the palace to cut the tumor, I also have to follow. These two things are actually one thing. I leave it all to you!"

Chen Guanlou made a request, and Wang Hai was speechless.

After a long while, he said: "You really know how to find trouble for me. Letting Mu Yiguan Mu's eldest grandson enter the palace as an assistant is simple. But letting you accompany him into the palace is not according to the rules."

"How is it not according to the rules? It's not like I haven't been there. A few years ago, when that person was poisoned and found Mu Yiguan Mu, I also accompanied him into the palace to protect him. Everything has a first time, and there is a second..."

"That time it was an Imperial Prince, this time it is an Imperial Concubine, it's different." Wang Hai explained.

"I'm not going into the room to see the Imperial Concubine's body, I'm just guarding outside to protect Mu Yiguan Mu, how is it different? You are just prejudiced!" Chen Guanlou scolded.

Wang Hai had a headache.

"You must enter the palace."

"Mu Yiguan Mu is a precious asset of the Heavenly Prison, protecting his safety is my duty. And, I believe what Prince Anping said. If I don't enter the palace to protect him, Mu Yiguan Mu will be bullied to death."

Mu Yiguan Mu is most afraid of entering the palace and dealing with people in the palace. Without him guarding, he suspects the old man's mindset will be unstable, and if his hand shakes, oh well, his life will be lost. Since he is timid, let him, the bold one, protect him, no problem!

Wang Hai said solemnly: "This matter must be agreed to by His Majesty."

"Then find a way to make His Majesty agree. Brother Wang, you definitely have a way, right?"

Wang Hai did not agree, but did not refuse. He was pondering the pros and cons of this matter.

Chen Guanlou was more direct, taking out a stack of silver notes and placing them in front of the other party. "This is for your hard work. With me, I never let you help in vain. Unlike those old guys in the palace, who only know how to order you around without giving any benefits."

Giving money while also slandering the people in the palace, playing the game of sowing discord very well.

"It's not impossible to help you accomplish this." Wang Hai said deliberately. "However, in the future, if there is a place where Mu Yiguan Mu is needed, you must help me. I know Mu Yiguan Mu is not willing to treat nobles, but if you want to live comfortably in the capital, you cannot do without the support of nobles, how about it?"

Chen Guanlou made a tsk sound. "I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a sucker. If I promise you, wouldn't I be letting down Old Mu? Change the condition."

"Are you so protective of that old guy?"

"Presumptuous! What old guy! That is my old partner, my friend of a different generation. You know nothing."

Two 'fake brothers', you glare at me, I glare at you, with a posture of turning hostile at the slightest disagreement. ===== CHAPTER 1300 =====
