Chapter 727 It's fucking chaotic
The most popular topic among men is always women, especially other men's women and women embroiled in scandals.
Xiahou Chong's mistress possessed both of these qualities, which naturally aroused Li Gousheng's interest.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xian also revealed a lewd and wicked smile that any man would understand, and clicked his tongue, saying, "General Xiahou's taste is definitely not wrong, that figure..."
Li Gousheng was distracted by the praise and secretly lamented that he had chosen the wrong profession, wishing he had studied medicine instead.
The two chatted and laughed as they quickly returned to the pharmacy. Over the next few days, Cheng Xian continued to go to the other courtyard to give the woman massages, acupuncture, and brew medicine...
Li Gousheng then staked out the county government office and Ding Shun's home, recording Ding Shun's travel patterns and planning his actions.
Li Gousheng spent seven days squatting in the county government office. One night, he secretly led his men into Ding Shun's house. While Ding Shun was asleep, they knocked him unconscious and dragged him away. The next morning, they packed him into a cargo and, with the pass given to them by Xiahou Chong, successfully left the city. They escorted the cargo straight to Runan, where they met up with Sun Lang in Wufang County. Li Gousheng handed the man over to Sun Lang and returned to Xudu.
On the way here, Ding Shun had been wearing a hood the whole time. It wasn't until Li Gousheng left that Sun Lang took off the hood, looked Ding Shun up and down and smiled, "County Magistrate Ding, I've heard so much about you."
The rest was simple. After learning that he had been betrayed by Xiahou Chong, Ding Shun decisively switched sides, changed his name and joined Sun Lang's camp, vowing to fight alongside Sun Lang into Xuchang to settle scores with the adulterous couple.
Meanwhile, after successfully handing over the people and supplies to Sun Lang, Li Gousheng hurried back to Xudu and met up with Cheng Xian at the pharmacy.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Cheng Xian reported: "Xiahou Chong's mistress's illness has been cured, and because of this, Xiahou Chong has promoted me as the number one doctor in Xudu. Recently, all the top doctors in Xudu have been seeking my treatment."
Li Gousheng laughed and said, "I've met with Sun Lang too. For now, we don't need to do anything else. Just proceed according to plan."
The two chatted for a few more minutes and were about to leave when several soldiers suddenly burst in. When they turned around, they saw that they were Xiahou Chong's personal guards.
Since they were old acquaintances, there was no need to be too formal. Li Gousheng greeted him, "Brother Xiahou, what brings you here? Is your wife ill again?"
The commander of the personal guards was a member of the Xiahou clan, and by seniority he was Xiahou Chong's cousin. Upon hearing this, he sighed and said, "Pack your things and come with me. There is a patient who urgently needs treatment, and this patient's identity is very special. If he is not cured, he may lose his head. You should prepare yourselves in advance."
The two men's expressions changed slightly, and they asked in unison, "Special identity? How special? Could you be a princess of the Great Wei?"
Commander Xiahou sighed, "She is indeed a princess, but not a princess of our Great Wei. She is a princess of the pseudo-Han on the other side, Liu Bei's daughter."
"What the heck?" Li Gousheng and Cheng Xian exclaimed at the same time.
Where did Liu Bei get a daughter? How come they don't know?
Furthermore, how did Liu Bei's daughter end up in Xuchang?
Commander Xiahou said, "Doctor Zhou, since you cured my mother's illness, I won't hide anything from you. This is a long story. Back then, the self-proclaimed Han emperor Liu Bei was defeated by the late emperor and fled in panic. He abandoned his wives and daughters more than once. Then, his only two daughters were kidnapped by General Cao Chun, and naturally, they ended up in General Cao Chun's hands as his concubines..."
Li Gousheng and Cheng Xian were completely bewildered, their minds buzzing; they genuinely had no idea about this.
But for Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty to have his daughter become Cao Chun's concubine is just too much...
Damn Cao Chun, I'll kill you!
Commander Xiahou continued, "After General Cao Chun died, these two princesses who had falsely claimed the Han throne returned to their hometown of Qiao County. But now that Liu Bei has become emperor, the status of the two princesses has naturally risen. His Majesty has issued an edict to invite them to live in Luoyang. The journey from Qiao County to Luoyang naturally passes through Xuchang, and they just arrived yesterday!"
"I don't know what happened to the eldest princess. She fell ill as soon as she entered Xudu. General Xiahou thought of you. You must cure the eldest princess. This lady cannot die now, especially not in our Xudu territory."
If Liu Bei's eldest daughter really died in Xuchang, Xiahou Chong, the garrison general, would be in deep trouble. At that time, he wouldn't be able to get past Cao Pi, let alone Liu Bei.
Li Gousheng was quite shocked by the news. He bit his tongue to force himself to come back to his senses. Seeing that Cheng Xian was still in a daze, he quickly kicked him and smiled at Commander Xiahou, "Brother Xiahou, please wait a moment. We'll go get the medicine box."
After saying that, he forcibly dragged Cheng Xian to the backyard. When they arrived at the backyard and saw that no one was around, Cheng Xian hurriedly asked in a low voice, "We actually encountered the princess here. Should we save her or not?"
Li Gousheng shook his head and said, "Save my ass. She's Cao's wife now, and she might not want to go with you. Besides, we can't expose the princess. So we just need to report to Marquis Shence and wait for his instructions."
"I've never heard of Your Majesty having two daughters before. Now, here's the question: Cao Chun is Your Majesty's son-in-law and Cao Cao's cousin. What is Your Majesty's relationship with Cao Cao?"
Instead of answering, Cheng Xian asked, "Your Majesty is the elder brother of the Third General, who is also the nephew-in-law of Xiahou Yuan, who is also Cao Cao's brother. May I ask what Your Majesty's relationship is with Cao Cao?"
The two men stared at each other, stunned for a long time, and then simultaneously cursed, "This is fucking chaotic."
Half an hour later, the two went out and, escorted by Commander Xiahou, arrived at the General's Mansion.
They successfully met Xiahou Chong and Cao Chun's son, Cao Yan, at the mansion.
Cao Yan was originally serving in another region, but this time he was ordered by Cao Pi to return to his hometown of Qiao County to bring his two stepmothers to Luoyang.
After Xiahou Chong introduced the two men to Cao Yan, Cao Yan immediately grabbed Cheng Xian's hand and said, "Doctor Zhou, my mother's illness depends on you. You must cure her."
Cheng Xian felt extremely disgusted by what he heard. "Is she your real mother? You keep calling her 'mother'!"
To be honest, Cao Yan didn't have much respect for his two stepmothers originally, but his attitude changed after Liu Bei became emperor.
These two stepmothers are now veritable princesses of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Bei's northern expedition is successful, he may still need these two stepmothers to survive. How can he not respect them?
Cheng Xian immediately assured, "General, rest assured, I will do my utmost to heal your wife."
Without exchanging pleasantries, the group headed straight for the backyard. Upon arriving at the room, they found it surrounded by many people. Besides the patient lying in bed and Xiahou Chong's wife, Cao, there was also a woman in her late twenties, presumably Liu Bei's second daughter.
There were also two girls around twelve or thirteen years old and a boy around ten years old, and they all called Cao Yan "brother".
The time when Liu Bei's daughter was abducted by Cao Chun was fourteen years ago during the Battle of Changban. According to the timeline, these children should be the children that Liu Bei's daughter gave birth to for Cao Chun.
Cao Chun, that bastard, not only openly robbed the Han princess, but his child is already so big?
After Xiahou Chong introduced everyone's identities, Cheng Xian walked to the bedside and bowed to Liu Bei's eldest daughter, saying, "Madam, let me take your pulse first."
He dared not address her as princess in front of Xiahou Chong and Cao Yan; he could only address her as "Madam."
Under the tense gaze of everyone in the room, Cheng Xian made a diagnosis by observing, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse, and then turned around and said, "These are all common ailments that women of this age should have, it's just that they've been delayed for a while, it's not a big problem."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this!
