False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

On the bed that smelled of medicine, there lay a middle-aged man with a face so thin that his eye sockets were slightly protruding.

Logically speaking, Lin Ruhai was in his prime, not yet forty years old.

Although the average life span of people in ancient times was not long, the families of officials were no better than ordinary people working in the fields.

However.

Lin Chen looked at Lin Ruhai's gray hair and knew that this person's vitality was extremely endangered.

"Father!"

After Lin Daiyu saw her father's appearance, she exclaimed and couldn't believe what she saw.

You must know that she has only been away from home for a few years.

But Lin Ruhai's appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Jia Lian and Lin Chen were considered outsiders, so they voluntarily resigned.

As soon as he came out, Lin Chen heard Sister Lin's soft sobbing from inside the room.

Although the housekeeper was sad, he did not forget how to treat guests.

Lin Chen and Jia Lian were invited to the main hall and served tea.

When Jia Lian saw this, he suddenly became restless.

After all, he didn't come to Yangzhou just to drink tea. His heart had long been attracted by the wind and moon in Yangzhou. How could he sit still?

Immediately, Jia Lian made an excuse and left.

Anyway, he had fulfilled Jia Mu's instructions and sent Lin Daiyu back to the Lin Mansion.

What happened next had nothing to do with him.

But just as Jia Lian left.

Lin Chen saw the housekeeper running over in a hurry, with a hint of joy on his face.

"Um?"

When the housekeeper saw that Lin Chen was the only one in the main hall, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After learning that Jia Lian had left beforehand, the housekeeper was not upset and respectfully asked Lin Chen to come with him.

"But Lin Yushi is awake?" Lin Chen asked thoughtfully.

The latter nodded, confirming Lin Chen's guess.

soon.

The two people who came to the retreat room where Lin Ruhai had been staying previously.

As soon as Lin Chen walked in, he saw Lin Daiyu carefully feeding Lin Ruhai a bitter-tasting soup.

As for Lin Ruhai, he was sitting firmly with his back on the cushion and closing his eyes to rest.

Hearing the sound of Lin Chen coming in, he opened his eyes and looked over.

Lin Chen looked at him, his heart slightly awe-inspiring.

As the saying goes, the tiger is dying, but its power still remains.

Although he was seriously ill, his eyes were still clear.

You know, Lin Ruhai was a top-ranked person in the imperial examination during the late emperor's time, and was by no means an ordinary person.

And he was able to hold important positions in Yangzhou, a place of right and wrong, for more than ten years.

It would be no exaggeration to say that this kind of people are old foxes.

Lin Ruhai, who was scanning Lin Chen's body, suddenly smiled and nodded towards Lin Chen.

"I heard that Master Lin was sending my daughter home, so Lin thanked her in advance."

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Yu Shi Lin doesn't have to worry about this."

"Are you on your way?"

Lin Ruhai is not blind.

After Lin Chen came in, his daughter's attention was mostly focused on him.

If it had happened in the past, he would have definitely wanted to learn from a good student.

But now, Lin Ruhai no longer has the energy.

What made him even more curious was, where were the people from the Jia family?

Lin Ruhai sent Lin Daiyu to Jia's house for more than just foster care.

It also means to find a supporter for his daughter.

Especially now that Lin Ruhai is seriously ill, she is increasingly worried about how her daughter will live in the future.

He had lived in Yangzhou for a long time. Although he didn't know when such a young military attache appeared in the court, if his daughter cared about this person, he had to take care of his funeral arrangements as soon as possible.

So Lin Ruhai's next words made the room quiet.

I would like to ask if Lin Chen is sincere to Lin Daiyu?

"Father!"

Lin Daiyu stood up suddenly and stammered to interrupt her father's next words.

"My daughter invited General Lin to come to my house because of your illness."

Lin Ruhai was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

It turned out that he had made an own mistake.

but.

As the saying goes, no one knows more about a son than his father, but Lin Ruhai still saw some clues.

Don’t say anything else.

My daughter should have a good impression of Lin Chenjia.

"Ahem... I didn't expect General Lin to know the art of Xinglin?" Lin Ruhai coughed lightly, which was considered as overcoming the mistake just now.

"Understand a little bit."

Lin Chen was also a little embarrassed and took advantage of this to make amends.

Naturally, he doesn't know any medical skills, but the internal strength plus the six senses are almost the same as the MRI in modern hospitals.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his face was neither sad nor happy.

It seems that he has a good understanding of his body and knows that he is about to die soon.

certainly.

In order not to worry Lin Daiyu, Lin Ruhai still smiled and stretched out his hand, indicating that he would cooperate with Lin Chen's inspection.

Seeing this, Lin Chen stretched out his hand and imitated the doctor's pulse-taking movements.

In fact, a touch of innate true energy quietly entered Lin Ruhai's body, and in conjunction with the six senses, he began to check for abnormalities in his body.

The blood and Qi are depleted, and the lungs and organs are damaged.

If he didn't investigate, he wouldn't know. Lin Chen found that Lin Ruhai's body was really no different from a rundown house? !

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.

Lin Ruhai is still alive right now, thanks to various precious tonics.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly when he discovered this situation.

Something's wrong!

Logically speaking, there should be no life-devouring disease.

Even cancer only causes disease in the body's organs, leading to complications and ultimately death.

However, although Lin Ruhai's body was said to be in serious deficit, it was actually quite healthy.

The only thing that caused this kind of twilight syndrome was... something that sucked away a lot of vitality.

Lin Chen's eyes were slightly cold as he thought of something.

Immediately mobilize the innate true energy to go to Lin Ruhai's heart.

"Wow!"

Just in an instant.

Lin Ruhai's face turned pale and his expression became painful.

"Father!"

When Lin Daiyu saw this, her face showed worry and she hesitated to speak.

Only Lin Chen let go of his hand holding the pulse, then stood up and looked at Lin Ruhai.

After the latter subsided from the stinging pain, he smiled bitterly and asked: "General Lin, can Lin's body be saved?"

Lin Ruhai's tone contained no hope.

However.

Lin Chen was silent, and after a long while he whispered: "Lin Yushi, the person who wants your life really has extraordinary methods."

As soon as these words came out.

The room suddenly became quiet.

The housekeeper, Miss Lin, and the expressions on Lin Ruhai's faces were stunned.

The next second.

Lin Ruhai's expression tightened and turned ugly.

"General Lin, these words should not be taken as a joke."

"Censor Lin, someone has poisoned your inner veins with a life-sucking worm."

Lin Chen pointed at the location of Lin Ruhai's heart and said in a positive tone.

"A life-sucking Gu insect!?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai calmed down and glanced at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper turned around and left with understanding, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

Apparently.

This housekeeper is Lin Ruhai's confidant.

"This general is somewhat familiar with Gu's method."

Lin Chen thought of the Five Poison Sect Gu techniques he had seen in the White Lotus Sect, which were as weird as the Gu worms in Lin Ruhai's body.

Lin Daiyu didn't know what the Five Poison Sect was, but she saw Lin Chen telling the reason why Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, as if the drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw.

"General Lin, is there any way to save my father?"

Sister Lin's tone was urgent and her watery eyes were about to cry.

When Lin Chen heard this, he nodded slightly.
