Chapter 1711 Madam Wan Wants to Hire a Wizard

Only Cheng Youning didn't believe the imperial physician's words. His little monkey obediently pushed the wheelchair over. The wheelchair was big, but the monkey was small, so the little monkey used all its strength to push the wheelchair over, albeit wobbly. Then Cheng Youning took the man and the monkey to the inner room. He and Qiao Rong worked together to move the drowsy Master Wan into a chair. When he saw it was Cheng Youning, Master Wan opened his eyes in surprise, "Where is my grandson taking me?"

"Grandson will take you to bask in the sun!"

"Grandpa seems to have sunbathed today." Not only was Master Wan drowsy, but he was also confused, though he still remembered that he had sunbathed.

"Grandpa should get more sun exposure."

"Alright then!" Master Wan was completely obedient to Cheng Youning.

Seeing the smug Cheng Youning pushing the smiling Master Wan out, everyone was surprised at how Cheng Youning had managed to wake Master Wan up. When the imperial physician was giving him acupuncture, Master Wan didn't react at all. Could this be a case of a final burst of energy before death?

Physician Li intervened, saying, "Your Highness, you've just received acupuncture. You shouldn't take Prince Pang outdoors; he should rest."

"You're wrong. My grandfather believed what you imperial physicians said and rested all day long. Now he can't even walk. If my grandfather had listened to me, he would have recovered long ago. Don't you think so, Grandpa?"

Master Wan smiled and nodded, "What my grandson said seems to make sense."

“What I said makes sense. Grandpa will listen to his grandson from now on. In less than a month, I will be able to take care of Grandpa until he recovers.”

Cheng Feng's face was not good. The imperial physician's words were a heavy blow to him. "I'll let you serve your grandfather. You'll be able to take care of him for three days. Listen to the imperial physician and send your grandfather back."

"No!" As she walked, Cheng Youning said, "Look how well my grandfather looks."

Master Wan's face was deathly pale, without a trace of color, like a living dead man. Where did Cheng Youning get the idea that he looked healthy?

Seeing that his brother was thoroughly enjoying the happiness his grandson brought him, Wan Lianxing didn't stop him. He said to Cheng Feng, who was getting up to go out with the grandfather and grandson, "Feng'er, let You Ning accompany your father for a walk! Perfect timing, we can talk about what's to come."

When the topic of Mr. Wan's funeral arrangements came up, Mrs. Wan was the first to burst into tears.

Preparations for Master Wan's funeral began a year or two ago, and the tomb has already been built. But when the topic of the matter is brought up again, it's still hard to bring up.

"Sister-in-law, about my elder brother's funeral arrangements..."

“Lianxing, in my opinion, we should invite a sorcerer from the southern Yan Kingdom to take a look at your elder brother.”

Wan Lianxing glanced at Cheng Feng, who was sitting there blankly, and then looked at his sister-in-law who had made the suggestion. He thought it was all unreliable. "Sister-in-law, I remember that the Prince's Mansion invited a sorcerer from the south, didn't it?"

“It’s precisely because I invited her before that I decided to invite her again. Lianxing, you didn’t see the wizard when she came to the palace that time. That wizard was quite capable. She was holding a wooden staff, wearing a mysterious black robe, and had patterns on her face that we couldn’t understand. She said she could control everything.”

Wan Lianxing asked in doubt, "Is this for real?!"

"Of course it's true! She drew circles on your brother's head and bed with her wooden staff while chanting incantations, and your brother quickly regained his senses."

"Really?" Wan Lianxing still didn't believe it!

"Why don't you believe what your sister-in-law says? If you don't believe me, ask them!"

Xing'er, who was standing next to Madam Wan, was the first to lower her head, not daring to look at Wan Lianxing. Shang Xi also quickly raised her little hand and whispered, "The day the wizard came to treat my father, I was on the mountain. When I came back, I didn't even see the wizard's shadow. I don't even know if the wizard was male or female."

Yu Hua said, "It's a woman, dressed in strange clothes, exactly like me from head to toe."

Wan Lianxing asked, "How capable are you?"

Yu Hua thought for a moment and said, "She's dressed up like that, so she must have some skills! I wasn't there when she treated the master, but I caught a glimpse of her when she left. But she smelled amazing; the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance as she walked by."

Madam Wan chimed in, "Yu Hua is right. When she treated your elder brother, she lit a kind of incense. Not long after he smelled it, he woke up! It was miraculous!"

Wan Lianxing asked tentatively, "Could it be that something in that incense woke Big Brother up?"

Cheng Feng, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak up, "He was awakened by the smoke. I was there that day. The incense was indeed fragrant, but it didn't smell good. Even someone as strong as me felt choked by it. How could my father not open his eyes? Besides, my father's health was much better back then than it is now. He was still conscious. The sorcerer's contribution was not significant. I don't think it was necessary to invite the sorcerer. It would take too many days for him to come and go. Before the sorcerer could even arrive, my father was already gone. We all knew in our hearts that my father's time was coming. No matter who came, it would be powerless to save him."

"Feng'er, you are unfilial!" Madam Wan cried because Cheng Feng said he wouldn't invite a wizard. "Your father has spoiled you for nothing, you can't even bear to invite a wizard for him!"

“Mother, it’s already a miracle that Father has managed to hold on until today, but that’s all thanks to the imperial physicians. Now Father’s health is deteriorating rapidly, and I know he doesn’t have much time left without anyone else seeing him. Even hiring a shaman can’t prolong Father’s life. Mother, Father’s days are numbered, so let’s not rush into any treatments; it won’t help.”

"Feng'er, you are unfilial!"

“Mother, there are imperial physicians here. Why should we believe in sorcerers? In all my life, I’ve only ever seen my father use sorcerers to treat illnesses. Look at everyone else, who doesn’t go to a doctor for treatment? If you don’t believe me, ask my uncle what he thinks. See if he agrees to hire a sorcerer!”

Madam Wan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, then looked at Wan Lianxing with hope: "Lianxing, tell me, your sister-in-law will listen to you. Whether your elder brother can fall for the wizard depends entirely on your word."

Wan Lianxing was caught in a dilemma by the mother and son. "If it can dispel my doubts, then... let's hire a sorcerer!"

Cheng Feng objected, "Uncle, all of this is in vain."

Madam Wan grew anxious. "Feng'er, you don't listen to your mother, and you don't listen to your uncle either. Do you want to watch your father die?"

Cheng Feng helplessly raised his hands in surrender, "I'll listen to you. If you want to invite me, I'll send someone to the south to find a highly respected wizard in a little while."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wan immediately smiled. She had been extremely worried about Master Wan's health and had tried countless methods, but none of them had worked.

Wan Lianxing said, "Leave the search for the wizard to me. I already have someone in mind."

The next day, after court, Wan Lianxing kept Ge Dongqing behind alone. Ge Dongqing's lips were bluish-purple and his face was pale, as if he had been poisoned.
