It was already midnight.

Shen Lie stood in the yard, holding the secret letter from his adopted sister Yue Xuan'er in his hand, and stood in silence for a long time looking at the shocking handwriting.

Shen Liecai forced himself to calm down and told Wang Hu, "Go prepare the horse."

Wang Hu did not dare to neglect.

He said yes and hurried away.

"yes!"

The courtyard door is closed.

Shen Lie quickly returned to the room.

Think about it.

He took out the fire stick from his arms and blew on it. As the flame lit up, Shen Lie first lit a red candle as thick as his arm, making the room a little brighter.

Then he burned the note written by his adopted sister and stomped the ashes on the ground.

Shen Lie hurriedly started packing his bags.

On the bed.

Bai Zhenzhen, who was awakened, put on her bellyband, put on her own clothes and stood up.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Lie who was walking in a hurry, and seemed to smell an unknown smell.

Na Dai frowned.

Bai Zhenzhen said softly: "What happened?"

Shen Lie turned around and looked at her delicate and beautiful face.

I was speechless for a moment.

Thinking deeply.

Shen Lie walked to the edge of the bed and warned with a solemn face: "The Grand Master's condition has been recurring, I'm afraid it's not optimistic. You should be well... wait for me to come back and tell your father to be alert."

Bai Zhenzhen did not dare to neglect, and quickly responded softly: "Well, then you should be more alert."

Shen Lie nodded.

In a hurry, he grabbed a few changes of clothes, took a few flintlock pistols with him, picked up Little Lady Bai, patted her, and left quickly.

After a while.

After getting on his horse with a few guards outside the Yamen, Shen Lie raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was pitch black, and the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger.

"drive!"

With a low drink.

Several riders in front raised torches and illuminated the road ahead. The strong horses carried the brave Dongchang Tiqi of the Ming Dynasty and galloped towards the capital.

After dawn.

Taishi Mansion.

Critical moment.

Shen Lie didn't care about etiquette anymore. As soon as he rushed back to the capital, he handed over the post and soon entered the palace and entered the inner residence of the Taishi Mansion.

The luxurious living room of the inner house was already filled with gloom and gloom at the moment.

In anxiety.

My fourth uncle, Zhang Jianxiu, who had been up all night, and several young masters from the Zhang family were all here, and they were all talking with pale faces.

Shen Lie sat aside and listened attentively, and soon got an idea.

The Grand Master's illness has already completely recovered.

The medicine was also stopped.

I can see my complexion getting better day by day.

But just after dinner last night, my condition suddenly worsened again, and there were also signs of blood in the stool.

Now the Zhang family panicked and hurriedly invited the imperial doctor again.

Today.

The imperial doctor had been treating him in the room for several hours, but had not been able to diagnose the cause, and Zhang Juzheng was bedridden again.

In urgent need.

Shen Lie frowned.

It was not until daybreak that the imperial doctors walked out of Zhang Ju's main room, and Zhang Jianxiu and his brothers hurriedly greeted them.

They gathered around the imperial doctor and asked questions.

"What's wrong?"

"Say it quickly!"

In this chaos and noise, several imperial doctors were evasive and vague. They could not tell the cause of the disease and only told him to stay in bed and rest.

Shen Lie, on the other hand, watched coldly in the living room.

My heart is awe-inspiring.

It’s bad to scream secretly!

Judging from the hesitant attitudes of these imperial doctors, Zhang Juzheng's condition seems not to be optimistic.

suddenly.

Shen Lie recalled an incident he had encountered when he was in Hengdian. An old man who was also an extra had colon cancer, but was misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids.

If that is the case.

Shen Lie's hands and feet were already cold.

At this time, the Taishi Mansion was already in chaos.

Think about it.

Shen Lie left hastily.

He quickly walked out of the Taishi Mansion.

He pondered for a moment.

Shen Lie turned around and whispered to his subordinates: "You guys go to Dingzhou... invite Doctor Ma here... don't make any noise."

Several fans responded knowingly: "Yes."

In chaos.

It's afternoon.

There was an eerie silence in the inner house of Shen Mansion.

Following his subordinates, Ma Jintang, a famous doctor in Dingzhou, was invited into the inner house.

Shen Lie said nothing, just looked at the famous doctor in Dingzhou, and then slowly pulled out a heavy musket from his boot.

With the flintlock musket that never left his side, he opened the faucet and placed it gently on the table.

The famous doctor Ma Jintang was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot. Then he trembled like chaff and said, "Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Shen Lie said coldly: "There are no outsiders here... Just tell me."

This man was not only a famous doctor in Dingzhou, but also treated Zhang Juzheng.

Shen Lie didn't believe there was anything hidden in it.

Sure enough, in the face of life and death, Ma Jintang trembled and told the truth: "Your Excellency, the Taishi's disease is by no means a minor illness... It is actually due to overwork, staying up late, resulting in a loss of qi and blood, and a deficiency of yin and yang... He is already terminally ill. Already."

Shen Lie frowned and said coldly: "What kind of disease is it?"

Ma Jintang gritted his teeth and said with a shudder: "Dampness, heat and stagnation of poison are hopeless."

Shen Lie's heart skipped a beat as he savored the meaning of these words.

There is no concept of cancer in traditional Chinese medicine, but Shen Lie probably figured it out.

This damp heat is depressing and poisonous.

It probably means cancer

Think about this.

Shen Lie couldn't help but said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me a few days ago!"

Ma Jintang kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, and said in panic: "I don't dare to do that. Your Excellency has seen it clearly... How dare you talk nonsense in front of several imperial doctors!"

Shen Lie lowered his head.

Say nothing.
