Jing Feiyuan looked down at the little man, her red lips raised slightly, "Whether my medical skills are great or not, whether I can save you or not depends on whether you are willing to tell me the truth."

She stared into Zheng Zhien's eyes and said, "If you don't tell me the truth, who is your name, where do you live, and why do you obey the old emperor's order to pretend to be the prince's son? What on earth do you want to do to the prince by sneaking into the palace?" If you still refuse to tell me these things, do you think I can save you?"

Zheng Zhien was silent after hearing this.

Want him to tell the truth?

If the regent's medical skills are really better than that of the imperial doctor who made him grow taller, then there is nothing he can't say.

His secrets, apart from the fact that he is a descendant of the Imperial Prefecture, cannot be told, there is nothing else to hide.

As for the secret of his descendants, it would be easy to hide it.

After all, he is an abandoned baby who was abandoned in a mass grave when he was born. He was picked up by his master. He can use the excuse that he still doesn't know his life experience. Isn't that enough?

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhien looked up at Jing Feiyuan.

He said, "I am indeed twenty-one years old this year. You are right. I did obey the old emperor's orders to pretend to be a child and sneak into the palace. I can tell you all my affairs honestly, but I have to First, make sure your medical skills are really great and can you really save me?"

Having said that, his voice changed.

"After all, the reason why I obeyed the old emperor's orders is because there are doctors in his imperial hospital who can detoxify me and make me grow taller. If you can make me grow taller now, then I can also take refuge in you. I can also swear to God. From now on I will work hard for you, be your personal guard, and be loyal to you alone!"

Jing Feiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"You said that the doctors from Taiyuan Hospital can help you grow taller?"

Seeing Zheng Zhien nodding, Jing Feiyuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Do you know that when you are twenty-one years old, you have missed the growth period. Even if the imperial doctor detoxifies you from the poison in your body, you will not grow any more. You will only grow two or three inches at most, like a four-year-old to a six- or seven-year-old, and then you will stay at this height forever and never change."

Zheng Zhien was shocked.

He stared at Jing Feiyuan for a few breaths, then gritted his teeth and shook his head violently, "No way!"

He snorted viciously, "You said I can't grow taller, that's because your medical skills are not as good as those of the doctors in the hospital! They can make me grow taller, they can make me become a normal person again! You can't do that. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it!"

Jing Feiyuan was not angry, but she smiled.

If her heaven-defying medicinal jade space can be called "poor medical skills", then there will no longer be anyone with superb medical skills in this world.

However, she understood Zheng Zhien's irritability and harsh words.

After being a dwarf for so many years, he finally saw some hope from the imperial physician, but now that hope was shattered by her, how could Zheng Zhien not be anxious?

She didn't care about Zheng Zhien's offense and explained the facts to Zheng Zhien with a smile.

"You question my medical skills, and you blindly trust the doctor at the Imperial Hospital. Then let me ask you, the growth period of the world is in childhood and adolescence. How many people have you seen who can grow taller after the age of twenty?"

Zheng Zhien's pupils tightened.

He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.

Jing Feiyuan continued to ask, "Have you seen that imperial doctor? Is he tall? If he really has a magical medicine that can make a twenty-one-year-old person return to the growth stage again and grow taller, then does he himself take it? Take this kind of medicine and make yourself a tall and mighty person?"

Before Zheng Zhien could speak, she asked again, "Also, I heard that the late emperor who died not long ago was not very tall, right? If the imperial doctor you mentioned can really make people in their twenties grow taller again, he Why not dedicate this medicine to the late emperor, why not let the late emperor become tall and mighty in exchange for being promoted to a higher position?"

"..."

Zheng Zhien's face turned pale and he staggered back.

That imperial doctor...

He has seen.

Not high.

Jing Feiyuan was right. If the imperial doctor really had such a magical medicine, why didn't he take it himself? Why didn't he give it to the late emperor in exchange for benefits?

Could it be that the imperial doctor was lying to him?

The late emperor was also lying to him?

Is it...

Could he just be a dwarf in this life?

No.

He doesn't believe it.

He has been taking orders from the old emperor for three years. He has done so many things for the old emperor. Now Jing Feiyuan actually tells him that he has been cheated and that he has never grown taller. How can he accept this?

He doesn't accept it!

On the side, Grandma Tan, who was covering her lips and weeping silently, suddenly came to her senses when she saw Zheng Zhien's pale and shaky face.

She stared at Zheng Zhien's short body, pursed her lips in distress, and then turned to look at Jing Feiyuan.

She knelt down with a plop, walked forward on her knees, held Jing Feiyuan's hand tightly, and begged.

"Miss! You must have a way to help him, right? You are the disciple of the miracle doctor. You and the miracle doctor can cure the wife's ten-year-old illness of being weak and cold, and you can make Master He'er turn from a weak patient to a weak one. You can definitely help Zheng Zhien become healthy and able to practice martial arts, right?"

Jing Feiyuan looked down at Nanny Tan who was kneeling in front of her.

Her eyes were complicated and somewhat relieved.

Look at the tears on grandma’s face, look at grandma’s eagerness to kneel down to beg her, it’s really...

It's not in vain that she deliberately talked about this with Zheng Zhien in front of her grandma.

She deliberately let Zheng Zhien see his mother-in-law feeling so distressed for him. Zheng Zhien would be a little bit moved, right?

Jing Feiyuan looked sideways at Zheng Zhien.

really.

Zheng Zhien was staring at Nanny Tan in surprise and uncertainty.

Zheng Zhien clenched his fingers.

He couldn't figure out what the relationship between Nanny Tan and him was.

Why did the old man secretly test him with glutinous rice balls made with fermented rice yesterday, and why did he cry so hard for him today and kneel down to beg Jing Feiyuan for him?

He had a vague guess in his mind.

However, he couldn't believe it.

Isn't he a descendant of the Imperial Master's Office? How could he be related to a servant woman from a merchant's family?

Could it be that his mother was not the wife of a national master, but a servant who had no respect for herself, and that was why he was ruthlessly abandoned in a mass grave as soon as he was born?

Zheng Zhien was staring at Nanny Tan. Suddenly, he heard Jing Feiyuan's voice——

"Since grandma begged me, let me tell the truth. I can indeed help him."

Zheng Zhien was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jing Feiyuan!

When he saw Jing Feiyuan, he said again——

"However, to allow him to grow again as an adult requires a lot of medicinal materials, many of which are precious medicinal materials. Therefore, the amount of silver required is not just a few hundred taels, but it may be an amount that he simply cannot bear..."

Before Jing Feiyuan could finish speaking, Zheng Zhien immediately spoke excitedly!

"I have money! I do!"

He took a step forward and stared at Jing Feiyuan with burning eyes, "No matter how much money you want, I can get it! As long as you can make me a normal person, I can do anything!"

Jing Feiyuan looked up at Zheng Zhien.

She and Zheng Zhien looked at each other for three breaths and then spoke slowly, "We'll talk about it later. I want you to agree to a condition first -"
