"Apologize?"

Governor Poly pondered for a moment, and seemed to feel that this was necessary, and just now Pete himself was very angry when he learned that his retinue had been thrown into the dungeon.

Lawrence always paid attention to Paulie's expression, and when he saw Paulie nodding slightly, Lawrence couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, thinking that he was done and would be able to see Pete soon.

However, I saw that Poly suddenly sighed, then shook his head and said:

"But let's wait until next time, Your Excellency Pete suddenly felt unwell and is resting."

"Not feeling well?"

Lawrence couldn't help but frown and glanced at Paulie, he didn't look like he was lying.

Plus what Lawrence observed and speculated at the beginning: Paulie was leaving the banquet in the middle of the way.

Then it is not difficult to think that the situation just now should be William Pitt's sudden ill health, which caused the interruption of the banquet.

It's just that Paulie's words just now suddenly reminded Lawrence of William Pitt's health problems in historical records.

In Lawrence's mind, Pitt suffered from mental illness and gout in his later years.

Even the reason why he was forced to resign as prime minister in 1768 was in large part because of illness that made it difficult for him to get the job done.

As Paulie said, Pete's sudden physical discomfort was probably due to the fact that he ate some taboo food during the banquet, which caused him to have a gout attack.

"Wait... This may be an opportunity..."

Lawrence's eyes lit up and he realized that this could be the perfect opportunity to get close to Pitt.

Although Lawrence was not a medical expert in his previous life, because there were elderly people in his family who suffered from gout, Lawrence had spent a lot of effort on the knowledge of treating and regulating gout.

Even if he was not as good as the doctors of his previous life, Lawrence dared to say that in this eighteenth century, his understanding of gout was absolutely unmatched.

If he can use this knowledge to alleviate Pete's injury, then he can stay by Pete's side often in the name of treatment.

Gout is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment, and as long as Lawrence's treatment plan is effective, then Pete will rely on Lawrence's treatment for a long time.

After all, the pain of the onset of this horrific illness is still unbearable, even in the 21st century, when painkillers are available.

After quickly making up his mind in his mind, Lawrence immediately put on a concerned expression and said:

"Your Excellency Pete is not feeling well? Could it be that you have a gout attack? ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Paulie said with a suspicious look at Lawrence.

Lawrence, on the other hand, was unhurried, remembering that Maria was Pitt's personal physician, and explained:

"I've heard from His Excellency Pete's entourage that one of them is a doctor."

"Well... That's right, His Excellency Pete is recuperating at his lodgings. ”

Poly didn't think too much about it, waved his hand to Lawrence, and directly ordered the eviction of customers, saying:

"I'll convey your apologies on your behalf, now, go and do your thing."

"Wait, Lord Governor."

Lawrence did not leave, but stood there and said mysteriously:

"You may not know it, but I actually have a lot of research in medicine."

"You? I don't see the slightest hint of a doctor in you. ”

Paulie frowned and said mercilessly, he hadn't heard of Lawrence still doing anything about medicine in more than two years.

"Ahem, I actually went to college in Pisa."

Lawrence ignored Pauly's taunts, and lied without blushing and heartbeat, and said that it was more reliable to dress himself up as a scholar.

Whether or not this body went to college, Lawrence has no memory of it.

However, his older brother Carlo did study at the University of Pisa, and as his younger brother, it makes sense that Lawrence had the same educational experience.

Pauli also thought about this, in his eyes, Lawrence was from an aristocratic background in Florence, and it was not uncommon for him to go to college.

However, Lawrence saw that Paulie still looked a little skeptical, so he immediately said:

"Governor, if I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency Pete has eaten a lot of fish recently, and when he got sick, the middle joint of his toes was red, swollen and painful, and in addition, his body should also be accompanied by obvious fever, as well as ......"

"Shhhh How do you know? ”

When Poly heard this, he blurted out in surprise, and his eyes were about to widen.

He didn't expect Lawrence to not only accurately describe Pete's symptoms, but also his recent eating habits when he had never seen Pete.

Even some of the symptoms that Lawrence said, even Paulie, who was present at the time, did not notice it, and it was only after Lawrence said that Paulie recalled that it was indeed the case.

Even Pauly's secretary, who was standing behind Lawrence, couldn't help but look at Lawrence a few more times, he hadn't seen Pauly look so shocked for a long time.

Looking at Pauly's surprised expression, Lawrence also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little glad that his guess was not wrong.

Gout sufferers are very taboo about eating fish, and Corsica is a small island, and Lawrence guessed that there must be a variety of fish to entertain Pete.

Knowing this, Lawrence easily deduced that Pete's attack should be acute gout caused by diet, and Lawrence also knows the symptoms and coping methods of this disease.

"As I said, Lord Governor, I do have some research in medicine."

Lawrence puffed up his chest and said confidently:

"I've seen a lot of cases like Your Excellency Pete, maybe I could..."

Paulie also recovered from the shock just now, and looked at Lawrence with a complicated expression.

From Lawrence's performance, Pauli basically believed that Lawrence did have some ability in medicine.

And for Paulie, if Lawrence can really treat Pete's condition, then his negotiation with Pete will definitely be much easier.

Because William Pitt is the plenipotentiary envoy for this negotiation, his personal emotions and feelings will have a considerable impact on the negotiations, and it is also for this reason that Pauli will spare no effort to entertain Pitt with the highest standard of treatment.

Thinking of this, Paulie looked at Lawrence with a little less hostility in his eyes, and even his tone softened a lot, and he changed his angry expression like a change of face, and asked with a little excitement:

"Lawrence, are you sure?"

"Of course, I can vouch for it with honor."

Lawrence nodded and said, this confidence also comes from his advanced knowledge.

Even if Pete is not treated with medication, just by assisting Pete to improve his lifestyle habits, Lawrence is sure that Pitt's current condition will be greatly alleviated.

Paulie stood still and stared at Lawrence for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Lawrence waited for Paulie to make a decision with a calm expression, and he knew that with Pauly's character, he would not let go of this excellent opportunity to pull in a relationship with William Pitt.

"I don't need your reputation to vouch for you, Lawrence."

Poly suddenly said in a deep voice:

"But if your treatment is not effective, or even negative, then... I don't need to talk about the consequences. ”

"Of course."

Lawrence replied without hesitation that this opportunity to get close to Pitt could not be missed, even at the risk of treatment failure.

"Very well, I believe you are a young man who is sure of anything, come with me."

Paulie dropped the words, and turned to lead Lawrence forward.
