Divine Physician Wang hadn’t expected this white-bearded old man to be so fierce, with such a loud voice too.

At his age, wasn’t he afraid of shouting so loudly he’d pass out from anger?

Because his crying stopped so abruptly, he hiccupped. Divine Physician Wang honestly confessed: “This old one’s Thousand Gold Pills and Longevity Pills formulas were both given by Miss Luo—”

Divine Physician Li angrily rapped Divine Physician Wang on the head: “What Thousand Gold Pills and Longevity Pills? Those are Cold-Expelling Pills and Nourishing Origin Pills!”

This ignorant charlatan—he didn’t even know the pills’ proper names, yet he dared to swindle people.

Having vented his anger over this, Divine Physician Li struck Divine Physician Wang again: “You dare call yourself ‘this old one’ in front of me? If I had a grandson, he’d be older than you!”

After finishing his scolding, Divine Physician Li had a sudden realization.

All given by Miss Luo?

That wasn’t right. Hadn’t that girl surnamed Luo said the Nourishing Origin Pills were obtained from a divine physician surnamed Li in Nanyang City?

Of course, it had now been proven that there was no such Divine Physician Li in Nanyang City—only a swindler selling fake medicine, and he was from Jinsha.

Did this mean that girl had been deceiving him from the start?

Divine Physician Li’s expression darkened as he said word by word: “Explain in detail how you obtained these two medicines from Miss Luo. Don’t leave out a single thing!”

Divine Physician Wang had been beaten too much these past days and was somewhat terrified. For a moment, he cowered without speaking.

The expressionless servant at the side said coldly: “Should I throw you out?”

Divine Physician Wang shuddered and began recounting the entire story in minute detail.

After listening, Divine Physician Li was so angry his beard bristled.

Sure enough, he’d been deceived by that little girl!

So the question was: where exactly had that girl obtained the formulas for the Cold-Expelling Pills and Nourishing Origin Pills?

Both the Cold-Expelling Pills and Nourishing Origin Pills were medicines he had specially developed for the Zhennan Princess Consort years ago. Though he had also given them to others later, the formulas had absolutely never been leaked—no wait, if one spoke of people who knew both formulas, there were one or two from the Zhennan Prince’s estate.

One was the maid specifically responsible for preparing and brewing medicine for the Zhennan Princess Consort, and the other was Princess Qingyang.

Princess Qingyang was extremely filial. When the Zhennan Princess Consort was gravely ill, she had personally brewed medicine for her mother and had specifically memorized the formula.

He had even instructed that young princess not to spread the Nourishing Origin Pills formula.

Where had that girl surnamed Luo obtained the formula?

Divine Physician Li’s eyes narrowed.

Could it be that the maid who brewed medicine for the Zhennan Princess Consort was still alive, and by some chance had contact with that girl surnamed Luo and gave her the formula?

Divine Physician Li couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling this conjecture was too farfetched.

“Miss Luo only said this much. Do you, do you have anything else to ask?” Seeing Divine Physician Li’s expression change unpredictably, Divine Physician Wang carefully spoke up.

He didn’t know this elder’s identity. That fierce-looking person hadn’t told him during the journey to the capital, but it was certain this elder was not to be trifled with.

Actually saying he wasn’t as old as his grandson—wasn’t this taking advantage of him?

But there was no helping it. When one was under someone’s roof, one had to bow one’s head. If the other wanted to act like a grandfather, then at his age he could only accept it.

Divine Physician Wang thought of those brief glorious days in Jinsha and wished he could slap himself.

He regretted being too greedy!

Meanwhile, Divine Physician Li, reminded by Divine Physician Wang, came to his senses.

That’s right—since he couldn’t figure it out, why not simply go directly to the source and ask that little girl who spouted nothing but lies to explain clearly!

“Fuling—” Divine Physician Li walked out and called to the gatekeeper boy.

Fuling hurried in: “What are your instructions, Divine Physician?”

“Go tell those waiting outside that no number tokens will be issued today, no consultations. Tell them to disperse.”

Fuling froze, then before Divine Physician Li could urge him on, quickly ran out of the courtyard.

“Everyone disperse. The divine physician has matters to attend to today and won’t be seeing patients.”

Those who had been waiting outside for quite a while felt dejected upon hearing this, asking one after another: “Why won’t the divine physician see patients today?”

“If not today, then what about tomorrow?”

“This is the first time number tokens haven’t even been issued. What matter does the divine physician have?”

The gatekeeper boy could do nothing to help with everyone’s confusion.

At this moment, Divine Physician Li walked out expressionlessly.

“Divine Physician—” Everyone unconsciously gathered around, then regaining their senses that this was a living immortal who must be respected, returned to reason and made way.

“Everyone, come again tomorrow.” Having said this, Divine Physician Li walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back, a plainly featured middle-aged servant following close behind.

Everyone looked at each other. Someone hesitantly said: “Has the divine physician encountered some matter?”

“Who knows? The divine physician wouldn’t tell us.”

“Should we follow and see?”

“That, that wouldn’t be proper, would it?”

“What if the divine physician has encountered difficulties but is too embarrassed to trouble us? If we follow, couldn’t we help resolve the divine physician’s worries?”

This reasoning was grand enough.

Those with gossip fires burning fiercely immediately agreed and silently followed behind Divine Physician Li.

Divine Physician Li’s carriage traveled in front, the crowd’s carriages and horses followed behind. When traveling on the official road it wasn’t particularly conspicuous, but upon entering the city it attracted sidelong glances.

Who was sitting in that plain gray carriage at the very front to have so many luxurious carriages following behind?

From experience, there was excitement to be seen!

Soon, another string of people on foot followed behind those luxurious carriages.

“Divine Physician, many people are following behind. Should we—”

Divine Physician Li sat with his eyes closed in meditation, not even opening his eyelids: “No matter.”

The carriage stopped in front of the Grand Commander’s estate. Divine Physician Li descended from the carriage and walked toward the main gate with a stern expression.

The carriages and horses following behind successively stopped, everyone’s expressions astonished.

Divine Physician Li had actually come to the Grand Commander’s estate!

This was too extraordinary—the divine physician had actually voluntarily entered the Grand Commander’s estate’s gates.

The reason Miss Luo had been able to invite the divine physician previously still hadn’t been clarified, and now here was another scene like this?

This, this was killing people with curiosity.

Those whose status prevented them from leaving their carriages to watch the excitement instructed their respective drivers to turn around and return home, while leaving one or two servants behind to observe the situation.

Shi Yan practically sprinted back to the Kaiyang Prince’s estate.

“Master!” Upon seeing that crimson figure in the study, Shi Yan gasped breathlessly.

Wei Han set down his book scroll and, suppressing his uncontrollably rapid heartbeat, asked calmly: “The divine physician went to the Grand Commander’s estate?”

Shi Yan looked astonished: “How did you know?”

Wei Han smiled faintly: “With you running like this, what other reason could there be?”

Surely it couldn’t be that Miss Luo had flirted with some young master again?

Such news was unimportant to him, and Shi Yan should have grown accustomed to it by now.

However, Wei Han’s mood wasn’t as calm as his surface suggested. Rather, he felt the curiosity common to all people.

Why would the divine physician enter the Grand Commander’s estate’s gates? And how had Miss Luo predicted this scene over a month ago?

Could it be that Miss Luo possessed the ability to predict the future?

This conjecture made Wei Han shake his head slightly.

Predict the future? He didn’t believe such people existed in the world.

But how exactly did Miss Luo know?

Wei Han felt he had never wanted to meet that girl as much as he did at this moment.
