Chapter 537 Yellow Among Men
Wang Wenzhou glanced at Empress Zhou, then at the medicine, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, if you don't drink your medicine soon, it will get cold."
Empress Zhou looked at Wang Wenzhou with resentment, truly regretting agreeing to this scoundrel's request, but the words were already spoken. She thought for a moment, it's just feeding him medicine, no one will know anyway, just consider it feeding the dog.
Empress Zhou took a sip of medicine and fed it to Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou was overjoyed. He hadn't wasted his time traveling. He had slept with Huang Taiji's baby, and he had not only slept with Zhu Youjian's baby, but he was kissing him right now.
Wang Wenzhou put the medicine in his mouth and found it bitter and smelly. He tried to swallow it, but it was really hard to swallow.
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou tilted his head and spat the medicine onto the ground.
Empress Zhou, both amused and exasperated, complained, "Boxin, good medicine tastes bitter. You're such a grown man, why do you still complain about the bitterness of medicine?"
Wang Wenzhou frowned. He wasn't against traditional Chinese medicine, but the medicine was just too unpalatable. He wanted to talk to a doctor to find out what was wrong with him and whether he could stop taking the medicine.
"Sister-in-law, please invite the doctor over. I'd like to talk to him," Wang Wenzhou said quickly.
"Boxin! Be good, drink your medicine quickly!" Empress Zhou hurriedly picked up the bowl.
Wang Wenzhou felt that the Empress Zhou's words sounded increasingly familiar! Pan Jinlian had said the same thing to Wu Dalang back then!
Wang Wenzhou quickly tried to appease her, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't rush to take your medicine. Please invite the doctor over first; I'd like to thank him in person."
Empress Zhou knew that Wang Wenzhou was just making excuses to avoid taking his medicine. She thought for a moment and decided to have the doctor come over so he could persuade him.
Empress Zhou quickly got up, opened the door, and ordered the guards to bring Chen Zhengwei over.
"I am Chen Zhengwei, greetings to Lord Wang!" Chen Zhengwei greeted Wang Wenzhou respectfully as soon as he entered. He had already learned Wang Wenzhou's identity from the guards.
Wang Wenzhou looked at Chen Zhengwei and asked, "Old Chen, what medicine did you prescribe for me? Why does it smell so bad?"
"Um..." Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment, then stammered, "My prescription contains a herb called 'human placenta extract,' which may be the reason for the problem."
"What the hell is 'human venom yellow'?" Wang Wenzhou muttered to himself.
"Pfft!" Empress Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then she suddenly remembered that she had also drunk this medicine, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
Chen Zhengwei stroked his beard and explained in a serious tone: "Human placenta extract is made by placing licorice powder in a bamboo tube and soaking it in human excrement for a certain period of time. It has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, and detoxifying."
"What?!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, "So, you dare to feed me shit?"
Wang Wenzhou went crazy. He could tolerate ginseng and bird's nest being used as medicine, but human excrement being used as medicine? He really couldn't stand it!
"Someone come here!" Wang Wenzhou shouted immediately.
The two guards outside the door hurriedly entered the room and asked, "What are your orders, Lord Wang?"
Wang Wenzhou pointed at Chen Zhengwei and cursed, "Drag him away, cut off all ten of his fingers, and pull out all his teeth!"
"Huh?" The two guards were completely bewildered. "Lord Wang, you've gone too far! Mr. Chen was the doctor who saved your life; you're repaying kindness with enmity!"
Empress Zhou immediately scolded, "Boxin, stop fooling around!"
"Sister-in-law, did you hear what he said? We just ate shit!" Wang Wenzhou said angrily.
Empress Zhou blushed. "You scoundrels! How could you say such things in front of outsiders?" Then she thought, "It wouldn't hurt to taste the medicine before feeding it to a patient. I doubt those two servants would even imagine I'm feeding Wang Wenzhou mouth-to-mouth."
Thinking of this, Empress Zhou felt much better. She quickly advised, "Boxin, good medicine tastes bitter and honest advice is hard to hear. With your extensive knowledge, how could you not know this? Doctors are like parents. Doctor Chen would not harm you. You woke up after drinking the medicine he prescribed."
"Ugh..." Wang Wenzhou gagged. So, I really did eat shit!
Wang Wenzhou stared intently at Chen Zhengwei, wishing he could kill him with his gaze, but suddenly, he sensed something was amiss. Looking at Chen Zhengwei, with his silver hair, he was at least seventy or eighty years old, yet his face clearly had few wrinkles and no age spots—this didn't make sense!
Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou waved to Chen Zhengwei and said, "Old Chen, I'm really sorry! I'm in a bad mood because I'm sick, please don't be angry. Come here, I'll thank you face to face."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengwei smiled slightly and quickly walked up to Wang Wenzhou, saying with a smile, "Lord Wang, you are too kind. It is my great honor to be able to treat you!"
Wang Wenzhou observed Chen Zhengwei up close and immediately noticed something fishy. The guy's hair and beard were clearly dyed white.
"Slap!" Wang Wenzhou raised his hand and slapped Chen Zhengwei across the face, angrily ordering, "Men, arrest this swindler!"
"Huh?" Everyone present was completely dumbfounded. What was wrong with Wang Wenzhou, this mad dog, this time?
Empress Zhou frowned deeply. What was the deeper meaning behind Bo Xin's actions? Was he mocking the Emperor for repaying kindness with enmity?
"Lord Wang, I am not a fraud!" Chen Zhengwei said quickly.
"Pah!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, "You damned swindler, you dare to fool me? How could you know I'm the king of swindlers? I saw through your little tricks in a second. Your hair and beard are all dyed white! If you weren't a swindler, why would you pretend to be an old man? Tell me, how old are you really?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengwei broke out in a sweat. He truly couldn't believe that Wang Wenzhou would recognize him despite his superb makeup skills.
Wang Wenzhou is a time traveler. He usually spends a lot of time online judging whether girls' photos are fake or not, so he has developed a keen eye for it. This kind of makeup skill is really child's play for him.
"Thump!" Chen Zhengwei immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Lord Wang, you have sharp eyes. I did indeed conceal my age. I am 48 years old this year. The reason I dressed like this is because everyone trusts older doctors, because the elderly have experience."
"Hmm!" Wang Wenzhou nodded, cursing as he said, "Old people do have experience, but some old people can be scoundrels! Don't try to fool me, you weren't even born when I was a conman! Someone go and fetch the imperial physician, let's see what kind of prescription he wrote!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengwei knew he couldn't hide it any longer, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Lord Wang, please spare me. Although I am a fraud, I do have some medical knowledge, and I was lucky enough to cure your illness by accident. You can't repay kindness with enmity!"
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "You cured my illness? Bah! I was poisoned. My circulatory system expelled the poison itself. I didn't drink your medicine. I still woke up! Men, drag this damned swindler out, cut off all ten of his fingers, and pull out all his teeth!"
The two guards looked at Empress Zhou, who nodded, and the two quickly pulled Chen Zhengwei out.
Empress Zhou knew that Wang Wenzhou was angry but had nowhere to vent his anger. Now that this swindler had run into trouble, it would be good for Wang Wenzhou to let him vent. The swindler could only accept his bad luck.
