The Prime Minister looked at Ye Fan doubtfully.
This must be the disciple of those two old brothers.
But this young man seems a bit impolite?
I'm talking to your elder, why are you, a junior, interrupting?
"What does this young fellow mean?" The Prime Minister was well-bred and didn't get angry over such a small matter.
Ye Fan nudged the two old men with his chin, then pointed to his temple and shook his head.
The Prime Minister froze.
Judging by the young man's meaning, these two old brothers might have some issues with their minds?
He quickly looked at the two elders again.
Elder Er, at first glance, seemed quite normal.
But upon closer inspection, one could notice a peculiar look in his eyes.
The Prime Minister couldn't pinpoint the exact feeling.
It seemed a little vacant, yet not entirely so.
If one were to say his gaze was soulless, but when he looked at the Prime Minister, he was quite focused...
In short, it felt strange...
At this moment, the two elders were intently observing the Prime Minister.
Seeing him looking at them, they both smiled gently.
To them, a smile could convey goodwill and also ease a patient's tension.
It was one of the good ways to foster connection between people.
The Prime Minister suddenly felt uneasy...
Elder Er's eyes might have been a bit odd, but at least his smile was normal.
Xie Yan Master's flat, s-shaped smile, combined with his left eye darting erratically...
The Prime Minister immediately agreed with Ye Fan's assessment.
This one was clearly not normal!
Could he be this unlucky?
He thought he had found some divine doctors, only to end up with two mentally unsound individuals?
"Esteemed elder brother, do you often feel a cold sweat and icy limbs around the hour of Chen?" Elder Er asked with a smile.
The Prime Minister's heart skipped a beat.
What Elder Er described was one of his symptoms.
"You haven't eaten breakfast or lunch for a while now, and you feel like vomiting even at the sight of food."
"Around the hour of You, your legs lose all feeling and you can't walk at all."
"Around the hour of Hai, you experience severe headaches and are completely unable to breathe normally."
...
Elder Er rattled off a long list of symptoms.
The Prime Minister's heart became hot with excitement.
They were all correct!
The imperial physicians in the palace would often diagnose and inquire for a long time before managing to state one or two symptoms.
But these two elders, after just a few glances, had gotten them all right?
However, the Prime Minister didn't get too happy.
His condition wasn't a secret, and it was possible the two had heard about it.
"Master Xie Yan, these are all I can discern," Elder Er said apologetically. "Medicine is quite different from alchemy..."
"Elder Er, you've learned very quickly," Master Xie Yan patted his shoulder in comfort. "At least you learned alchemy much faster than I learned it from you."
"Then let's keep working hard together!" Elder Er patted Master Xie Yan's shoulder back.
"Yes, let's work hard together!" Master Xie Yan nodded heavily.
Ye Fan's mouth twitched.
So you two are planning to combine your skills?
Won't that make you even more monstrous in the future?
But judging by the Prime Minister's expression and reaction, it seemed they were indeed right?
Speaking of which, Ye Fan wasn't very clear about the professional capabilities of the two elders.
In fact, apart from knowing Elder Er's pills were inedible, he knew nothing else.
Could they actually have some skills?
"Besides the symptoms I just mentioned..." Master Xie Yan turned to the Prime Minister. "Between the hours of Zi and Yin every day, you feel your blood flowing backward, causing intense pain. Your eyes turn bluish and feel swollen, and your chest feels like it's been struck by a hammer..."
Master Xie Yan 'tanged tang tang tang' added a few more points.
This time, the Prime Minister could no longer remain seated!
Everything Master Xie Yan had just said was true, and these were new symptoms that had appeared in the past few days!
He had simply felt that he wouldn't live much longer, so he had stopped bothering with imperial physicians.
It could be said that apart from his wife, no one else knew about this!
Divine doctors!
These were definitely divine doctors!!!
"Divine doctors, what you're saying is so true!" The Prime Minister was so excited that he changed his address. "What is the cause of my illness, and can it be cured?"
"Naturally, it can be cured," Master Xie Yan smiled slightly. "In at most an hour, you will be reborn."
"Then we entrust ourselves to the two divine doctors!" The Prime Minister immediately cupped his hands in a bow.
"Esteemed Prime Minister," Ye Fan interjected. "Perhaps you should... reconsider?"
Although it seemed the two elders did have some skills, Ye Fan still didn't dare to let them proceed.
Ye Fan couldn't help but imagine a monster that was half-human and half-ant...
That would be a huge disaster...
"Young fellow, you don't need to say more!" The Prime Minister turned around, his gaze unwavering. "My mind is made up!"
Ye Fan felt a pang in his liver.
He had seen people courting death, but never someone so eager to court it!
"I know what you're worried about," the Prime Minister explained. "Don't worry, no matter what the outcome, I will never trouble you. I can guarantee this!"
Especially the new symptoms that had appeared in the past two days, which were almost breaking his old bones.
He couldn't care about anything else anymore.
Ye Fan didn't want to speak anymore.
What else could he do?
Stop them with his head?
Forget it.
Whatever they wanted to do, they could do.
As long as they were happy.
At most, if something happened to the Prime Minister, he would be chopped into ten pieces by the people from the Prime Minister's mansion.
Perhaps dying would allow him to escape the 'dog system.'
You can do whatever you want, I'll just watch the show.
...
Initially, the Prime Minister wanted to invite the two elders to his home for treatment, as all the necessary herbs and medicines were there, making it very convenient.
However, the two elders said it wasn't that troublesome and that a quiet place would suffice.
So, the group went to an inn and booked a superior room.
As the Prime Minister was about to go upstairs, two guards hurried to follow.
Their mission was to protect the Prime Minister closely.
Although the three people appeared harmless just now, who knew if they were pretending?
"You two, stand down," the Prime Minister waved his hand.
"But Prime Minister..." the guards looked hesitant.
"Stand down," the Prime Minister waved his hand again and went upstairs with the two elders.
"You go contact those brothers from the Prime Minister's mansion and gather them," the guard instructed his subordinate.
If something were to happen later, having more people would make it easier to handle.
Second floor superior room.
Besides the three elders, Ye Fan and the old housekeeper were also present.
Ye Fan was there to watch the show with a resigned attitude, while the old housekeeper was there to assist.
"Two divine doctors, do you need anything else prepared?" Once the Prime Minister lay on the bed, the old housekeeper quickly inquired.
"Right, go get some chili peppers and tea," Master Xie Yan remembered something and instructed. "The tea should be last year's Bai Cao Ku, and the chili peppers should be Tiger Head."
Although the old housekeeper was puzzled, he obediently did as he was told.
Soon, the old housekeeper returned with the items.
Perhaps fearing it wouldn't be enough, he brought over a dozen pounds of each...
"Divine doctors, is this enough? I can get more if it's not," the old housekeeper asked nervously.
"You're no longer needed, go and wait aside."
Master Xie Yan waved his hand and meticulously wiped down the table.
Afterward, he took out a tablecloth from his ring and placed a handful of tea leaves on it.
Master Xie Yan took out a small knife and carefully cut the tea leaves.
The dried Bai Cao Ku leaves were only about three millimeters long, but he managed to cut them into four or five pieces.
Ye Fan wondered how he managed such precision with his eyesight...
Master Xie Yan cut very earnestly and focused, taking about fifteen minutes to cut a small handful of tea leaves.
Then came the chili peppers.
After all the cutting was done, Master Xie Yan took out a large earthenware pot.
He added water, covered it, and used his true energy to heat it...
Once the water boiled, Master Xie Yan threw in the chopped tea leaves and chili peppers.
The Prime Minister lay on the bed, watching nervously.
He was a little bewildered.
He had never heard of tea leaves and chili peppers being used to boil medicine directly.
Even if some prescriptions used them, they were only as auxiliary ingredients for other herbs.
Could this be what they called the balance of opposing forces?
Could the terminal illness he suffered from be cured simply by doing this?
Then, the Prime Minister sighed with emotion.
Whether mortal or cultivator,
They were indeed so small in the face of heaven and earth!
Looking at the busy figures of the two elders, the Prime Minister's heart filled with awe.
Worthy of being called divine doctors!
Their movements looked so expert!
Their aura was too powerful!
