Chapter 507 - The doctor has ghosts in the heart

Marshal Wang looked at Doctor Gong sideways and stretched out his arm: “Look at this old man, is there any cure for this old man’s disease?”

Doctor Gong put his fingers on his wrist and pretended to be checking his pulse, then said: “Your condition is not so good. Marshal, I told you long ago that you need to recuperate. You shouldn’t take a long journey. Along the way, didn’t you become sick several times? Every time, I advised you to go back, but you don’t listen.”

Doctor Gong stopped talking and looked up at Marshal Wang.

Marshal Wang looked as usual, but asked in a low tone: “Go on.”

Doctor Gong nodded his head and then added: “At present, you are getting sick more frequently. If you go on like this, I’m afraid that it can’t be suppressed even if you take medicine.”

Marshal Wang asked: “If the medicine cannot suppress it, what will the consequences be?”

Doctor Gong lowered his head: “This subordinate doesn’t dare to say.”

Marshal Wang’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Doctor Gong. If he can, he really wanted to smash his head.

“Is there no other way?” He asked.

Doctor Gong replied: “Marshal if you stay in bed, rest quietly, and don’t bother about things outside, you may be able to delay the onset of your disease.”

Meaning, he mustn’t bother about Prince Jin’s affair and don’t do anything in the military camp. As long as he does nothing, he can live a few more days, right?

Marshal Wang thought of Bai Zhi’s words and said: “Go and give me medicine, I’ll lie down for a while.” Bai Zhi said, if his doctor had ghosts in the heart, then his medicine must also have ghosts.

To know if there are ghosts, he just needs to take a look at it.

Doctor Gong responded and turned to leave the tent.

Bai Zhi who was hiding behind the wooden cabinet came out, then said to Marshal Wang: “This doctor is very interesting.”

Marshal Wang raised an eyebrow: “Why is he interesting?”

“Didn’t you see the look in his face when you are suffering? He was indifferent. You’re sick, he is the doctor in charge of you, but he didn’t get anxious. He only looks at you as if he’s watching a play, then wait for you to recover on your own. Then he just said a few words, I’ve never seen such a doctor before.”

Marshal Wang had never felt anything wrong with Doctor Gong before, nor did he felt that he was so negligent when he became sick. Before, whenever he gets sick, his mind was not clear because of pain. He didn’t bother to care about the emotions of those people around him.

Bai Zhi then said: “In a few moment, he will bring the medicine. I’ll stay here and play with him with words. You should keep him alive, so that we will know the mastermind behind the scene. Let’s see if he harm you because Prince Jin’s enemy ordered him to do so.”

Marshal Wang nodded his head: “This old man went to the battlefield in his early years and never returned to the capital for many years. I never had any deep relationship with the ministers in the palace court. If someone hates me, I’m sure he will kill me. But, aside from the generals, I defeated in battle, I can’t think of anyone who can be my enemy.”

Bai Zhi said: “It’s because you didn’t have any encounter with a prince before. But later on, you and Prince Jin became superior and subordinates. Even if your relationship has only been the master and the disciple, the situation still change.”

These, Marshal Wang had already thought of it.

“But why did they just poison me with chronic poison? Why torture me like this and keep me alive? What else do they want to do?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “This, you can only ask the person who poisoned you.”

An hour later, Doctor Gong delivered the medicine. Marshal Wang was lying on a wooden bed and sleeping. When he heard movements, he sat up and looked at him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Doctor Gong put the medicine on the table and help Marshal Wang get out of bed: “You should take a good rest. After you drink the medicine, sleep some more for a while.”
