Chapter 854 - 763: Searching for Someone_3
That day, Consort Li wanted to ask who the heir of the Undying Poison Doctor was, but Meng Zhang changed the topic, and she didn’t inquire further, nor did she think in the direction of searching for it.
Now, when she wants to search, she has no leads for a moment.
After the palace maids had cleaned and tidied up the Seventeenth Princess, the two of them once again felt her pulse through a silk handkerchief and found that, just like before, there was no change in the pulse.
Consort Li looked at them and asked, "How is it?"
The two were really at a loss for words and braced themselves to say, "The princess’s condition has been controlled somewhat. Once we return, we will discuss and carefully consider the medication!"
Consort Li had become much more haggard, and looked at them with a few traces of suspicion: "Controlled somewhat? But the princess’s condition hasn’t improved and she’s still not awake!"
The remarks left the two unable to lift their heads.
Their medical skills were top-notch in the entire Imperial Hospital, but it was also a fact that they hadn’t healed the Seventeenth Princess.
After leaving Consort Li’s palace, the two of them did not want to delay any longer. They didn’t even return to the Imperial Hospital, but headed straight to the Prince Kang Mansion to request an audience.
The unprecedented visit by the dean and deputy director from the Imperial Hospital, going together, led King Kang to think that Huangfu Jinxuan had caused some trouble again. He was contemplating whether the situation could be handled well this time, but when he learned they were inquiring about a person, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
Of course, Huangfu Jinxuan was not at home then, and King Kang expressed that he could send someone to find him.
When it came to this point, unless it was something urgent, Meng Zhang and the other would normally take their leave. Although they held significant sway in the Imperial Hospital, this was the Prince Kang Mansion, and they were facing a prince. Naturally, a prince did not need to curry favor with them.
However, Meng Zhang and his companion remained calm and composed, expressing their willingness to wait.
Seeing this, King Kang naturally called for a servant to bring Huangfu Jinxuan back.
When the servant found Huangfu Jinxuan at the gambling house, he was quite unhappy, and he stormed back. Seeing Meng Zhang and Luo Jia sitting and drinking tea, he hurried over to greet them.
Suddenly, two middle-aged men in official attire enthusiastically approached him, scaring Huangfu Jinxuan nearly to the point of kicking them. Fortunately, he decided it was best to ask before kicking anyone, and barely held back his legs.

Meng Luo both wore smiles and inquired about Xia Wenjin.
After hearing that they had waited so long, insisting the household send for him just to ask about Xia Wenjin, Huangfu Jinxuan widened his eyes.
Seeing his expression, Luo Jia stammered, "Could it be that Young Master Jinxuan doesn’t know where Doctor Xia, Miss Xia Wenjin, is?"
Huangfu Jinxuan swallowed a gulp of surprise and said, "Mr. Luo must not go out much, huh? That Miss Xia is in the Capital City!"
Luo Jia was extremely surprised. Initially, while organizing the medical cases and prescriptions left by Xia Wenjin, he grew increasingly amazed and admired further, thinking that if he had the chance, he’d like to seek advice from Xia Wenjin. He didn’t expect she was actually in the Capital City.
They immediately inquired about Xia Wenjin’s residence, and Huangfu Jinxuan did not conceal anything.
Meng Zhang and Luo Jia were very pleased to receive the address. Of course, the happiest was Luo Jia, while Meng Zhang’s heart relaxed, relieved to be able to offload such a challenging case as the Seventeenth Princess onto someone else, which was advantageous with no harm to him.
They prepared gifts and rushed to the Xia Mansion without delay.
Back at the Prince Kang Mansion, after Meng Luo left, Huangfu Jinxuan was laughing heartily, prompting King Kang to ask the reason. Huangfu Jinxuan detailed the events in Wangshan Town for him.
Originally, when Huangfu Jinxuan took an imperial envoy post to Wangshan Town for errands and returned, he mentioned it, but did not speak of Xia Wenjin.
Now learning what Xia Wenjin and Huangfu Jingchen had done in Wangshan Town, King Kang shook his head lightly and said: "Prince Cheng’s Heir does indeed have his father’s flair! Years ago, Prince Cheng was squeezed out of the Capital for being too rigid and nearly fell out of favor, losing his chance at the position! But Prince Cheng was able to build a prosperous city in a barren land and provide a place of peace for displaced people, showing... great talent. Unfortunately, those few in the Capital today only have eyes for that position!"
Huangfu Jinxuan stopped laughing and said, "Father, you have always remained neutral, not favoring any side, yet you are still being watched. The atmosphere in the court today is indeed somewhat murky!"
"On the surface, the court seems calm, but a storm is brewing," King Kang sighed, his voice mixed with anger and helplessness, he said heavily, "Those targeting the Prince Kang Mansion are just after the control of the City Patrol in my hands!"
