After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

"Oh...? No one in the capital can explain this." Doctor You was obviously interested. "Wake up and tell me what your symptoms are."

Liu Yuefu thought that her mother's condition had not yet progressed and looked like an ordinary cold. How could she explain this so as not to arouse suspicion?

"Miracle doctor, my mother has been bedridden for more than a month. Her symptoms are like those of a cold, with coughs and wheezing. Our family has invited many doctors, but her condition has not improved. I happened to hear from someone that there is a highly poisonous substance. If eaten by a person, the initial symptoms will be like those of a cold, with coughs, wheezing and fatigue. People often diagnose and treat it as a cold, but it cannot be cured, and it will only delay the disease. Then slowly the person can't run, and then can't walk, and can only lie in bed to rest. Afterwards, the throat will gradually become hoarse, accompanied by severe pain, and in the later stage there will be bleeding, inability to speak, and difficulty eating." Liu Yuefu replied after a little thought.

"There is indeed such a poison, but it comes from a foreign country and few people know about it. I have been unable to leave Shaocheng recently. There is a patient here who is in a critical condition and needs my care. My disciple is very good at detoxifying. If you trust him, let him go with you." Doctor You said.

No one noticed that Doctor An Shen, who was writing, unconsciously tightened his hands.

Liu Yuefu hesitated for a moment and made a decision, "That's great." Since Doctor You highly approves of this person's detoxification, he must be good. In addition, at the last birthday banquet, Li Jianzhang kept calling him Doctor An, so he must be a good doctor.

"Then you should go with this lady." Doctor You said to Doctor An.

Doctor An Shen nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

"Thank you for your help, Doctor An." Liu Yuefu said.

"Oh? Do you know each other?" Doctor You asked with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I only met him once at Lord Li's mother's birthday party." Doctor An replied.

He then turned to Liu Yuefu and said, "I am not worthy of the title of miracle doctor. Madam, please call me Doctor An."

"Then I'd better obey your command." Liu Yuefu nodded and said.

"Thank you, Doctor You. I will take my leave now." Liu Yuefu bowed and said goodbye.

"It's okay, you can go ahead. The mountains are high and the waters are long, so it's important to hurry and save people." Doctor You said kindly.

Doctor An got up and packed his medicine box, then went into the inner room, got some clothes to change into, and said goodbye to Doctor You.

Liu Yuefu and Doctor An walked out of the hut one after the other, ignoring the noisy voices of the people around them, and got on the carriage together.

Chuntao had packed her luggage and went to the inn to get it. Then they left Shaocheng and headed for the capital.

On the road, the carriage was silent for a while.

"Doctor An, um, Doctor An, how do you know my husband?"

Liu Yuefu broke the silence. She was a little worried that the two of them were too close, even though Doctor An looked cold and aloof, and it didn't seem like that. But who could tell for sure?

It's always a good idea to be cautious. Who knows if Li Jianzhang has anything to do with my mother's poisoning.

When Dr. An heard the word "husband", his heart trembled.

He calmed himself down and said, "I met Lord Li at the birthday party of the Emperor's Majesty before the birthday party of the Li family."

He paused, as if to reassure her and know what she was thinking, and then said, "It was just a one-time encounter."

"Thank you, Doctor An, for coming. My mother-in-law loves lively occasions the most." Liu Yuefu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on her face.

"You're welcome, madam."

Liu Yuefu heard this and dispelled some of her doubts, but she expected that Li Jianzhang could not control the people around Doctor You. Doctor You was always aloof, and even the emperor gave him some face.

"Doctor An is really young and promising. At how old was Doctor An when he started to learn from Doctor You?" Liu Yuefu asked.

Liu Yuefu's question made some images flash before Dr. An's eyes.

The little man raised his head, looked at the man in green, and said, "Dr. You, I want to learn medicine. Can you be my master?"

"Why do you want to study medicine?" the man in blue asked, squatting down and touching the child's head.

"I want to stay with mother longer. I want to grow up. They all say that when I grow up I can protect mother." The child said in a childish voice.

The child's eyes darkened. "But they all say that I won't live long and won't grow up."

The man in blue hugged the child and touched his little head.

"But my mother told me that as long as I took the medicine and had the acupuncture obediently, I would get better, and when I grow up I would be as strong as my big brother. But... I took the medicine and had the acupuncture well for a long time, but I still didn't get better..." The child buried his head in Doctor You's arms, speaking intermittently, his voice a little aggrieved.

"The nanny who takes care of me told me that Doctor You is a living god and very capable. My mother said the same thing."

The man in blue stood up and held the child's hand, "But studying medicine is very hard and tiring. Can you handle it?"

“Is it more bitter than medicine?”

The man in blue smiled and said, "Not really."

The child nodded, "That's fine with me."

"...Five years old. I was taken care of by my master when I was five years old and started to learn medicine." Doctor An recalled and said.

"No wonder Doctor An is called a miracle doctor at such a young age. His age in studying medicine is no less than that of the children of aristocratic medical families." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

"Then, Doctor An, have you ever cured my mother of this kind of poison before?" Liu Yuefu asked.

"I solved it once with my master."

"After the patient was detoxified, is he in good health? Are there any hidden dangers?"

"Master and I have been observing for more than a month, and we have not found any hidden illness."

...

The two chatted intermittently along the way.

The group traveled at full speed along the way, but it still took them nearly a week to reach the capital.

After entering the capital, the group went straight to the Liu family.

Liu Yuefu took Doctor An and went straight to her mother's room.

As she was walking on the corridor, she heard the sound of Liu's mother coughing violently from afar. When she entered the house, she saw Liu's mother sitting at a round table drinking a bowl of medicine.

When Liu's mother saw the person coming, she forced herself to smile, "Yue Fu, you're here."

Immediately, she saw the person behind Liu Yuefu, who was like the breeze and the bright moon. "Who is this?"

"Mother, this is the doctor I invited for you."

"Mom has already called a doctor and is taking medicine. Don't worry, it's just a cold."

Liu Yuefu walked forward, held her mother's hand, and said, "Mother, since Doctor An has been invited, let him take a look at you. Don't look at Doctor An's young age, he is the apprentice of Doctor You."

"Forget it. Mother really can't do anything about you." Mother Liu said helplessly but with some doting meaning.

Doctor An sat down next to Liu's mother, laid a pillow and a white towel on her, and took her pulse.

He frowned slightly, it turned out to be that strange foreign poison.
