Chapter 323 Eunuch Liu
The Second Prince's Prince's Mansion was built outside the Imperial Palace, right next to it. From a distance, although it was not as big as the Imperial Palace, it was still magnificent! Its building area was no less than that of a small city!
The gate of the mansion was guarded by a team of guards, each of them had a serious expression and looked very heroic!
When Li Yu and others entered the mansion under the guidance of the guards, they found that the mansion was full of houses and pavilions! They were surprised to find that there was a mountain surrounded by it! The mountain was covered with lush trees and greenery, and at the foot of the mountain there was a lake with rippling green waves!
The Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded inside and outside, with a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps! There were also royal guards patrolling back and forth!
When Li Yu and the others saw it, they were shocked! They dared not look around and followed the guard who led the way with their heads down.
Turning left and right, he walked an unknown distance and after an unknown amount of time, the guard finally stopped in front of an independent courtyard.
Li Yu and others found that there was an endless stream of eunuchs and palace maids coming in and out! Two young eunuchs stood in front of the door, watching the people coming in and out vigilantly.
The guard leading the way hurried forward and whispered something to one of the eunuchs. The young eunuch glanced at Li Yu and the others, then turned around and went into the mansion.
The guard bowed to Li Yu and said:
"Please wait here for a moment, my doctor! I have my duties to perform, so I will take my leave now!"
Li Yu hurriedly bowed and said:
"General, please do as you please! Thank you for your help!"
After a while, the eunuch guarding the gate came out in a hurry, followed by a handsome eunuch. The two ran to Li Yu and bowed at the same time. The handsome eunuch said:
"Please come in, Imperial Physician! Chief Steward Liu is very busy and cannot be away for the moment, so he has entrusted us to welcome him. I hope you will forgive me!"
"I dare not! I dare not! Please forgive me for disturbing you, sir!"
Li Yu also hurriedly bowed. Although he didn't know the other party's background, judging from the attitude of the eunuchs and palace maids who came in and out towards this eunuch, his status should be not low!
The eunuch was greatly pleased to see Li Yu's respectful attitude! Although the imperial physician had no real power or benefits, he was still an official of a certain rank after all. Especially this one, who was granted the third rank by the emperor at such a young age!
You know, although eunuchs like them have some power, they are often looked down upon, especially by officials. When they meet on weekdays, unless they are issuing an imperial decree, most of them will ignore them.
In any case, this Li Yu is a third-rank official! He is so polite to me, so I naturally like him more! I immediately smiled and said:
"You are so polite, my doctor! Come in, please!"
Li Yu immediately stepped aside and said:
"Father-in-law, please!"
The eunuch just smiled slightly and pushed Li Yu into the courtyard.
Li Yu was stunned when he saw the palace maids and eunuchs lined up in front of a room door!
The eunuch hurriedly said to Li Yu:
"The Second Prince's wedding is imminent, and there are many matters to be dealt with, all of which require the decision of Chief Steward Liu. I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time for the moment. Please ask the imperial physician to wait in the guest room!"
The waiter led Li Yu and others into the room and ordered the palace maids to serve tea. The eunuch then bowed to Li Yu and said:
"I'm so sorry! I have some urgent matters to deal with at home, so I can't accompany you. Please forgive me, doctor!"
Li Yu quickly stood up and bowed to see him off.
They waited until noon, but the eunuch Liu still didn't show up! They didn't dare to walk around, so they could only sit in the room and stare at each other, feeling extremely bored!
Li Yu was fine, but Hu Qian was so anxious that he kept sitting or standing up, and couldn't sit or lie down! Liu Hai was also scratching his head and was restless. Even Qi Biao kept looking at the door from time to time.
At this time, they heard a noise at the door. They were very excited! When they looked up, they were disappointed. It turned out that it was not the eunuch Liu who came in, but a few palace maids carrying plates.
Looking at the food on the palace maid's plate, Li Yu and others felt hungry!
Qi Biao and the others felt very sleepy after eating and drinking their fill. They couldn't help but curl up in their chairs and fell into a deep sleep!
Although Li Yu's eyelids were drooping, he was afraid that the eunuch Liu would suddenly appear, so he resisted the sleepiness and insisted on waiting. However, he could not resist the temptation of sleepiness, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. When he was half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear footsteps approaching, and woke up suddenly! He found that a fat eunuch with big ears appeared in front of the door, and the handsome eunuch who had received them earlier followed closely behind him.
Li Yu knew that this eunuch should be the eunuch Liu! He stood up immediately without waking up Qi Biao and others.
As soon as Eunuch Liu entered the room, he bowed to Li Yu and said:
"I am late and have made the imperial physician wait for so long. I beg the imperial physician Li to forgive me!"
"Your Excellency is too kind! You are very busy with all kinds of affairs. I have come here without permission and I am disturbing you!"
Li Yu said hurriedly.
"The doctor is joking! These are mostly trivial matters! It's just that the people below are too lazy and always ask me to make the decision on everything. Alas! There is nothing we can do. I am destined to be a hard worker!"
Eunuch Liu smiled hurriedly.
At this time, Qi Biao and others had also been awakened. They stood up hurriedly, looking a little at a loss!
Li Yu hurriedly said:
"I am rude, please forgive me, sir!"
Eunuch Liu waved his fat hand and said nonchalantly:
"Hey! Waiting for someone is boring, I understand that! What's more, you don't know when I will show up? It's understandable to take a nap, there's nothing rude about it! You don't need to be restrained or blame yourself!"
Originally, in Li Yu's opinion, as the chief eunuch of the Second Prince's Mansion, he should be someone who is not easy to deal with, but he did not expect that this eunuch Liu would be so approachable! He immediately bowed and said:
"My father-in-law is so generous, it's really admirable!"
Eunuch Liu waved his fat hand again and said with a smile:
"Doctor Li! Let's not talk nonsense! We both work for the Second Prince, and there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future. I've heard that Doctor Li's medical skills are so amazing that he can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh! I'm afraid we will have to trouble the doctor in the future!"
"You are too kind, sir! I am just an ordinary person, how can I have such ability? If you have any orders, please let me know! Li Mo is new here and does not understand anything, so please give me more guidance!"
Li Yu hurriedly bowed.
"Hahaha! Easy to say! Easy to say!"
Eunuch Liu immediately burst into laughter! Then he turned to the handsome eunuch and said:
"Xiao Wei, go over and see if the Second Prince has time now?"
The eunuch Wei agreed and turned to leave.
Seeing that Li Yu was somewhat puzzled, Eunuch Liu hurriedly explained:
"The Second Prince has said that if Doctor Li comes, he wants to see him in person!"
Li Yu was even more confused when he heard this! The Second Prince should be very busy with his wedding, so how could he have the time to see a royal doctor like him?
