Only members of the royal family, or nobles specially authorized by the saint, can pass a sign to the palace to request the imperial physician to come out, and they are important officials in the court.
However, nobles and important officials could not invite imperial physicians at will. Usually, they could only do so when their illnesses were serious.
Gu Shangqing himself was not qualified to find an imperial physician, let alone ask an imperial physician to treat Old Man Zhang.
Gu Shangqing said, "Miss Zhang, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't find an imperial physician myself. The reason why an imperial physician was able to heal my injuries before was all thanks to the grace of the Saint. It was the Saint who sent an imperial physician to me. Otherwise, I would not be qualified to go to the palace to hire one."
"Don't worry, young lady. I will go and ask Doctor Wen from Xuanji Medical Clinic." Gu Shangqing added, "He is the best doctor in the whole capital, except for the palace. Even the nobles and important officials in the capital will ask Doctor Wen to see them if they have any illness."
If old Doctor Wen doesn't help, they will naturally seek help from the imperial physician.
Otherwise, it would be too high-profile to consult a royal physician for no reason.
Moreover, in their opinion, the medical skills of the imperial physicians in the palace were not necessarily much better than those of Doctor Wen.
Imperial doctors were cautious in using medicines, for fear of taking responsibility. No matter what the disease was, they dared not use strong medicines and must take care of the patient slowly.
Sometimes the disease is delayed and becomes more serious.
"Thank you, General Gu." Zhang Yingzi said this, but she felt a little indignant in her heart.
They had saved Gu Shangqing's life, but now when they asked him to invite an imperial physician, he refused and was only willing to invite some folk doctor for them.
No matter how good you are, can you be as good as the imperial physician? Otherwise, why don't you become an imperial physician?
If she just wanted to see a civilian doctor, why did she come all the way to the capital? But Zhang Yingzi didn't know that the old doctor Wen was also a doctor that everyone in the capital was fighting for, and his schedule was very tight.
You can't just go there and invite him.
Gu Shangqing couldn't help but owe some favors and ask for help.
"Where do Miss Zhang and Old Man Zhang live now? I'll call a doctor and bring him to you." Gu Shangqing said.
"It's at the Tonghe Inn on Baihu Street." Zhang Yingzi said.
"Okay." Gu Shangqing nodded, "Where are you going now, Miss Zhang?"
"I was originally going to go to Gu's house, but now that I have met General Gu, there is no need to do so." Zhang Yingzi said.
Logically, Old Man Zhang should be brought into the house to recuperate, but Zhang Yingzi is also here.
Gu Shangqing hesitated for a moment and decided to go back and discuss it with Li Mumu.
"Miss Zhang, please be careful on your way back. I should have sent you back, but we still have to find a doctor, so there is no time to delay." Gu Shangqing explained, then immediately got on his horse and hurried to the clinic.
It was just that Doctor Wen was out seeing patients at the time, and Gu Shangqing did not expect to be able to invite Doctor Wen immediately, so he asked where Doctor Wen was going to see patients.
Unexpectedly, Doctor Wen actually left Beijing directly.
Gu Shangqing had no choice but to go back and discuss with Li Mumu to see if he could ask the Crown Princess to ask the imperial physician to come out.
Just as I was about to go out, I happened to meet the errand shop guy coming in.
The guy is here to get medicine for the customer.
"General Gu." The waiter saw Gu Shangqing and saw that Gu Shangqing did not look sick, so he asked, "Why are you in the clinic? Who is sick?"
"A friend of mine is ill, so I came to ask for Dr. Wen," Gu Shangqing said. "Unfortunately, he is out seeing patients."
"Is it urgent?" the waiter asked. "I heard that Doctor Wen will be away for more than half a month this time."
"It's urgent. I'll think of a solution." Gu Shangqing said.
Gu Shangqing hurried back home without even having time to say hello to others, and quickly found Li Mumu.
"What's wrong?" Li Mumu saw that he looked anxious, "Tell me slowly."
Li Mumu pulled Gu Shangqing into the house, fearing that there might be some bad news and that it would scare other people.
He poured another cup of tea for Gu Shangqing.
"I just met Zhang Yingzi on the street." Gu Shangqing took the tea and said.
"Zhang Yingzi?" Li Mumu was really surprised. "She actually came? Did she come with Old Man Zhang, or did she come alone?"
This Zhang Yingzi is so brave.
It's such a long way from Chong'an to the capital.
"Is there anyone guarding you?" Li Mumu asked again.
Hearing that Li Mumu was worried about Zhang Yingzi's safety first, Gu Shangqing sighed in his heart that Li Mumu was kind-hearted, and then told Li Mumu about Zhang Yingzi's affairs.
"Old Man Zhang is still in the inn. I'm in a hurry to find a doctor, but I haven't checked on him yet." Gu Shangqing said, "But Doctor Wen is out of the capital for a consultation. He won't be back for more than half a month. I can only find another doctor."
Doctor Wen is the most famous doctor in Beijing.
Gu Shangqing didn't know much else.
He is in the army and has his own military doctor.
Military doctors are good at treating injuries, but they are not good at treating pain.
Especially those difficult and complicated diseases whose symptoms many doctors cannot diagnose.
"Gu Mian, go call Butler Yao." Li Mumu said hurriedly.
"Yes." Gu Mian hurried over.
After some time, Butler Yao came hurriedly.
"Butler Yao, take some people to the Tonghe Inn on Baihu Street and bring Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi back to the mansion to recuperate." Li Mumu said, "Find a quiet courtyard in the mansion and clean up two rooms."
"Yes." Yao Xingcai immediately understood what Li Mumu meant.
Find a quiet yard, far away from the Gu family's yards, especially far away from here.
Tell Zhang Yingzi to stop passing by here for no reason.
It's quiet, suitable for recuperation.
Li Mumu thought for a moment and said, "Fu7jun and I will go to Tonghe Inn with you."
Li Mumu turned around and said to Gu Shangqing, "Old Man Zhang is your husband's savior. Now he is seriously ill. We have to go and pick him up in person no matter what."
Gu Shangqing nodded. This was what he meant, especially if Zhang Yingzi was not around.
But with Zhang Yingzi around, Gu Shangqing really has a headache and doesn't want to get involved in these troubles.
Give Old Man Zhang the treatment he needs, but at the same time, don't let Zhang Yingzi have any inappropriate thoughts.
But now that Li Mumu said so, Gu Shangqing naturally agreed.
"Okay." Gu Shangqing nodded.
"I'll go talk to my parents and my brother and sister-in-law about the matter of Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi first." Li Mumu said.
Gu's father and mother knew about Zhang Yingzi and Old Man Zhang, but they had to let them know that Old Man Zhang would move in soon.
"Butler Yao, please ask someone to clean up the room first. After I talk to the master and the mistress, we'll go to the inn." Li Mumu said.
"Yes." Butler Yao went to get busy.
Li Mumu went with Gu Shangqing to look for Gu's father and mother.
After Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei finish their work on Gu's snacks in Beijing, they will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow to go to various branches of Gu's snacks to take care of the grilled skewers and fruit tea.
So I've been resting at home for the past two days and packing my luggage.
