Bai Shan arranged a time for Manbao and Yin Huo, and the four met at Jishi Hall early the next day.
Shopkeeper Zheng welcomed them warmly, even brewing his best tea, and while Manbao was being treated, he took the opportunity to feel Yin Huo's pulse.
Upon touching it, Shopkeeper Zheng couldn't help but slightly frown and then looked at Yin Huo.
Yin Huo was well accustomed to such reactions. When he was very young, a physician hired by his father had said from behind a screen that his life would be short and that it would be difficult for him to survive. His body was weak, tonics were useless, and could even harm his health, so the physicians ultimately dared not leave any prescriptions.
Later, his father entered the palace and sought the help of Imperial Doctor Tan. Every other day, he had to take medicinal baths—that lasted over a year—combined with acupuncture before he could drink the medicine.
