Chapter 141 - Wei Yan
When Tang Yue heard about this rumor from Crown Prince Zhao, he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. “This… this…” Where did this come from?
He really admires the ability of these people to spread rumors. They are comparable to modern paparazzi. No, they should be better. At least paparazzi wouldn't be able to do it. Make a village full of living people into dead people.
“Your Highness, would anyone believe such ridiculous rumors?” Tang Yue could not understand why someone would use such a lame lie to plot against someone.
The villagers of Yellow Flower Village were not dead. Wasn't it obvious with just a glance?
Crown Prince Zhao patted Tang Yue's shoulder and sat down next to him. Tang Yue leaned on his body spontaneously and absorbed that bit of warmth.
Crown Prince Zhao glanced at him with a smile on his face. The infatuation in his eyes was released without a care in the world.
Tang Yue only glanced at him once and quickly dodged it. That kind of gaze was too aggressive. He could not resist it.
There was a wet and hot sensation on his face. Tang Yue turned his head and wiped Crown Prince Zhao's lips. Both of them were stunned.
Tang Yue was about to take a step back and open his mouth to speak when the other suddenly grabbed his waist and pressed a hand on the back of his head. His tongue took advantage of the situation and rushed in.
Tang Yue's heart rate instantly shot up. He originally thought that the other party would first try to stop and then take it step by step. Who would have thought that Crown Prince Zhao would not act according to common sense this time. As if he could not wait, he hooked his tongue and took a deep breath.
Tang Yue felt his tongue go numb. He pinched the flesh on his arm, but he could not do it with his hard muscles.
“Do you have a problem with that?” Crown Prince Zhao looked at him.
Tang Yue blinked his eyes. His tongue was still sticking out. Suddenly, his face turned red. “You are…”
“I don't know why I am so impulsive when I see you. Maybe it is because I have grown up?” Crown Prince Zhao asked with a smile. Then, he held Tang Yue's hand and placed it on his lower abdomen.
Tang Yue's eyes widened and the corner of his mouth twitched. “Adolescent. Ha-ha… Impulsiveness is the devil…”
“Then…”
Tang Yue cut him off, “Then let's talk about the current situation first.”
He was not done with the proper business. Wasn't this trying to whet his appetite?
Crown Prince Zhao pecked him on the lips a few more times before he was willing to let him go. “I don't know what kind of place you used to live in, but in this place, even the most ridiculous things will happen.”
Tang Yue did not know what was going on. The first half of Crown Prince Zhao's sentence seemed unusual, but he did not probe further. He followed Crown Prince Zhao's words and said, “The king is not stupid.”
Crown Prince Zhao nodded and shook his head again. “A deer is a horse, and a plum represents a peach. This is nothing. Do you know how many years it has been since Royal Father walked out of that palace?”
Tang Yue understood a little. The other party explained, “The throne is too high and too big. It's easy for people to escape reality and be blinded. Take this incident as an example. How could Royal Father know if the people of Yellow Flower Village are dead or not? Even if they were standing in front of him, how could he know them?
The three of them are tigers. As long as more than half of the witnesses he met say they are fake, they are fake!”
Tang Yue knew that the cruelty and darkness of politics were beyond his imagination. “So, the problem now is who the king is willing to listen to?”
Crown Prince Zhao nodded in satisfaction. Tang Yue was not stupid. He only knew too little about the dark side. Or rather, he did not want to believe in the darkness of people's hearts.
“I have sent people to investigate this matter. They want to use this matter to ruin our reputation. How can it be so easy to kill two birds with one stone?”
“I feel that the eyes of the people are bright. Even if the king's eyes are blinded by the treacherous officials, our reputation will not be damaged.”
What Crown Prince Zhao didn't want to see the most was… Someone is using Tang Yue's kindness. In his eyes, Tang Yue was naturally a good person. He couldn't bear to let a single strand of hair fall off his head. Now that he was in danger because of him, his mood could be imagined.
Tang Yue did not sleep that night. The other doctors were too old, so he could not let them stay up all night. Therefore, he was the one keeping watch this night.
Although the medicine was correct, those patients who were seriously ill could be cured with just one or two bowls of soup. Many of them had degenerated bodies. Even if they were not malarial, it would be difficult for their bodies to recover.
Crown Prince Zhao accompanied him to guard the first half of the night. Tang Yue chased him back to rest in the latter half of the night. He was the backbone of this team and could not afford to let anything happen to him.
In Tang Yue's words, “Only if you are in good health and in good spirits will we all be fine.” He believed that with Crown Prince Zhao around, those small fries would not be able to cause any trouble.
In the latter half of the night, a figure sneaked out from the third room. Before he even got close to Tang Yue, he was captured by a few guards.
“The commoner doesn't have any bad intentions. He just came to visit me, Father and Brother.” A young voice entered Tang Yue's ears. He was cutting the woman's pulse yesterday. He had learned this skill from Imperial Doctor Wu. He wanted to take this opportunity to practice.
Tang Yue gently covered the woman with the blanket and walked out of the room. He recognized the young man who spoke for him yesterday, so he asked the guards to let him go.
“Why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night?” Tang Yue took him to the water room at the side. There was a stove in the room. There was a large pot of hot water in the stove. It was prepared to brew medicine for the patient.
Tang Yue scooped a spoonful of water for him. He looked him up and down a few times and asked, “How is your body? Do you still have a fever?”
“No… I am much better.” The young man took a sip of hot water, exhaled a mouthful of white air, and smiled bashfully.
Tang Yue asked him to stretch out his hand and take his pulse. His pulse was very stable, and he could not find anything wrong with it.
He did not know who diagnosed him last night. So Tang Yue could not know whether his illness was real or fake. No matter what kind of illness it was, it was good that he was safe and sound.
“You want to visit your father and brother?”
The young man became excited. “Yes, I don't know if they have recovered. Godly Doctor… Your Highness Crown Princess, can the commoner secretly visit them?”
Tang Yue asked him to come back tomorrow morning. What the hell could he see in the middle of the night?
The young man smiled happily and thanked Tang Yue again and again, “Your Highness is really a good person. The reincarnation of Bodhisattva will definitely be rewarded in the future!”
Tang Yue smiled and urged him to go back to rest. The filial piety of the young man reminded him of his past life, and his heart was somewhat heavy.
“What's your name?” Tang Yue took two pieces of dried meat from the table.
“Wei Yan, the commoner's surname is Wei Yan, and his life is long. Father hopes the commoner can live longer.”
“Have you read?” Tang Yue did not look like someone who had never read.
“I've only learned a few words,” the young man replied humbly. “The peasants work in a bookstore in Ye City. The owner is kind and allows the peasants to read some books when they are free.”
Tang Yue thought to himself, “To be able to understand books, you must know more than just a few words.”
He knew that there were many scholars among the people, but none of them came from a good background. If they did not meet Bo Le who recommended them, they might not be able to use their talents for the rest of their lives.
Tang Yue had an idea. When Crown Prince Zhao ascended to the throne, he hoped that he could move the imperial examinations to this era. If there were conditions, it would be even better if he could combine it with the modern education system.
However, if he could not become fat in one go, the best would not necessarily be suitable for this era. As for how to implement it, it would depend on the situation.
“Reading is very good. Don't give up. Perhaps there will be some accomplishments in the future.”
The young man revealed a bitter smile. “You overestimated the commoner. The commoner's background is destined to never have any great achievements in this life. Learning calligraphy is just to not let oneself be an ignorant and stupid person.”
Tang Yue did not give him any great reason. He only comforted him. “This time and this time are different. The future is uncertain.”
When the sun rose, Elder Chen brought people to replace Tang Yue. Before Tang Yue left, he took Wei Yan to see his father and brother, but he did not let him in. He just stood outside the window and said a few words.
As the patient's health gradually improved, laughter gradually appeared in the room. Some people even joked, “The new year is coming soon. Why don't we spend New Year's Eve together in Yellow Flower Village?”
This suggestion received the support of everyone. The people who were lying here used to be in despair and thought that they would die for sure. Now that hope was in front of them, they were naturally in a good mood.
Compared to death, the difficulties and setbacks in life were nothing.
Originally, there were always some contradictions and sordid things in a village. Ever since the outbreak of malaria, everyone's state of mind had changed. When their old enemies met again, they would at most ignore them.
They were all people who had finally managed to take back their breath from Hell King. How could they care about those grudges?
Tang Yue looked at their gradually relaxed smiles and also felt emotional. In history, due to the lack of medical technology, many innocent civilians were annihilated because of an unknown infectious disease. For the first time, he realized how correct his decision to study medicine was.
