Chapter Forty-Eight: Everybody Knows

I have fallen into the fire pit, how can it be so easy to get out.

Wang Xiyao just complained, and sat there listlessly, like a frosted eggplant.

"You don't have to be so afraid. Ling Shang comforted.

"Can you not be afraid, that's ......" Wang Xiyao muttered, looked up at Ling Shang, and sighed: "Forget it, let's say you brought me here for something." ”

The topic came around, Ling Shang's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "You must promise me that what you heard here must not be leaked to a third person." ”

Seeing that Ling Shang was so solemn, Wang Xiyao was a little timid in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, you better don't tell me, otherwise, if I accidentally say it, will I still have my life?"

"I'm sure you'll keep it a secret. Ling Shang paused, and his tone suddenly lowered, "Because this matter is related to your next decision." ”

Wang Xiyao was stunned for a moment and looked at Ling Shang in a daze.

The ink in the study was fragrant, and Wang Xi waited with bated breath, waiting for Ling Shang to tell the secret.

"Do you believe that there is an elixir of life in this world?"

Ling Shang's words made Wang Xiyao's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: It's the elixir of life again, isn't this a secret?

"You don't seem surprised at all. Ling Shang looked at Wang Xiyao with a calm face, feeling a little strange.

Wang Xiyao came back to his senses, pretended to be surprised, folded his hands and said, "Wow, the elixir of life, it's so powerful, what kind of thing is it?"

The exaggerated performance, as well as the clumsy cover-up, was undoubtedly telling Ling Shang that Wang Xiyao actually knew about the elixir.

Ling Shang said in a deep voice, "How much do you know?"

The questioning tone made Wang Xiyao's heart tighten, shrunk his body, compared a small appearance, and said with a dry smile: "Not much, just a little." ”

In the following time, Wang Xiyao told Ling Shang everything he knew.

After Ling Shang heard this, he didn't speak, but nodded, and said in a flat tone: "Since you all know, this also saves us a lot of time. ”

"So you're coming to me to talk about this?"

"It's not just that. Ling Shang showed a hint of fatigue, and his waist slowly bent down.

It was only at this moment that Wang Xiyao realized that Ling Shang was an old man.

The essence in his eyes weakened, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased, and the whole person seemed to have aged for decades in an instant.

Ling Shang cheered up, stared at Wang Xiyao, and said word by word: "Our master is the only one who can distinguish the true medical book. ”

The shocking news frightened Wang Xiyao to sit on the ground, covered in cold sweat, and his hands and feet trembled.

Now he finally understands why some people want Ling Tingnan to die, while some people want him to continue to live.

"So, you didn't let me renew Ling Tingnan's life, just to prevent people from discovering this secret?" Wang Xiyao said with difficulty.

"You're so naΓ―ve. Ling Shang smiled bitterly: "Do you think that such a thing is still a secret at the top?"

"But Xu listened to the rain and they said......"

"A bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, know a fart!" Ling Shang snorted coldly, "After so many years, do they really think that only they know about these things?"

Wang Xiyao didn't answer, and slowly sat down.

Indeed, as Ling Shang said, perhaps at the beginning, the secret of the prescription was only circulated among a few families.

But in the past thousand years, the dynasties have changed, how can such news not be known by those in power.

And Wang Xiyao heard rumors that Ling Tingnan's ancestors were either high-ranking officials or wealthy people.

The whole family has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is strange that such a huge family has not experienced any twists and turns, and it has been passed down like this.

Now listening to Ling Shang say this, Wang Xiyao also understood. This is because the Ling family has always circulated the method of identifying medical books, so they can always maintain their wealth.

And the ancestors of the Xu and Sun families have seen the authentic prescription, so they have also been preserved by the people in power, and when they find the prescription in the future, they can be used to corroborate each other with the Ling family.

What's ridiculous is that the Xu and Sun families think they are hiding well and are still working behind closed doors.

Wang Xiyao sorted out his mood for a while, and after finally digesting the news, he sat up straight and said, "Steward Ling, I have a question that I have to ask you again." ”

"Just ask. ”

"Do you want Old Man Ling to continue to live, or let him leave in peace. Wang Xiyao rarely became serious, and his tone was very serious, "Your opinion is extremely important to me!"

Ling Shang's face showed a look of struggle, his palm grasped the crutches, and green tendons bloomed on the back of his hand.

"Naturally, I wanted to...... I miss him, and die peacefully!"

"If you say that, then I understand. Wang Xiyao stood up straight, "Old Man Ling, you will definitely pass away peacefully, and there will be no pain." ”

The words made Ling Shang's mood stir, and the old tears were rampant.

"Thank you, thank you!" Ling Shang grabbed Wang Xiyao's palm, his whole body trembling.

Wang Xiyao patted the back of Ling Shang's hand and said softly: "Okay, let's leave here first, it's not too early, I still have to go to the appointment." ”

"Is it Ling Zhi?" Ling Shang's face suddenly sank, and he said in a low tone, "Did he go to your room and tell you something?"

"It's nothing, he let me drag it out until the evening, and then he can get me out safely. ”

"Do you really believe him?"

"That was the case. Wang Xiyao spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't believe it, I have to believe it." ”

"What time did you agree with him?"

"I don't know, he only said in the evening, I think he's going to come to me. ”

Ling Shang's face sank like water, his eyes were hidden by the cold light, he slowly straightened up, and his crutches were heavily on the ground, "It's really getting more and more excessive!"

Both of them understood what Ling Zhi meant, and they wanted to kill Wang Xiyao, but no one said anything.

Wang Xiyao looked at Ling Shang's face full of murderous intent, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "This Ling Zhi's reputation in the Ling family is not very good. ”

Not to mention that Brother Ling Zhi can't get used to him, even Ling Shang, who is a subordinate, seems to have a big opinion of him.

But this is none of Wang Xiyao's business, he is just a doctor, who comes here to see a doctor, as long as it does not threaten his life, what if the sky falls.

Under the leadership of Ling Shang, Wang Xiyao returned to his bedroom, and after leaving the underground study, he found that it had only been more than an hour, and there were still three or four hours before dark.

Just when Wang Xiyao didn't know how to pass this time, Ling Hao came to the door.

Ling Hao didn't seem to know that Wang Xiyao had disappeared for a while, pushed open the door, and the first thing he said was, "Cure my father, or die!"
