countered any unique treasures there. Uncle Cai mentioned this wooden box, which immediately caught Song Hushan's interest, especially since his grandfather was also very fond of collecting wood produ...Chapter 756: Honeymoon Trip (9)
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, Vice Premier Liu just called me and asked you to come over to the British Royal Palace!" After Marshal Ma Tengliang heard what Xiao Yu said on the phone, he quickly informed him.
It turned out that in the morning, Queen Elizabeth had invited Vice Premier Liu and his entourage for a banquet. When they arrived there, suddenly, Vice Premier Liu's secretary, Wang Changning, called Marshal Ma Tengliang to ask him to find Xiao Yu and bring him to the British Royal Palace. Although Wang Changning did not specify what exactly was needed, from his tone of voice it seemed quite urgent.
Upon hearing this request, Marshal Ma Tengliang went straight to Xiao Yu's place to make a phone call. When he found out that Xiao Yu had already left, he quickly called the driver, Little Mo, hoping they hadn't boarded their flight yet. After making contact and learning that Xiao Yu was still not at the airport, Marshal Ma Tengliang breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing Marshal Ma Tengliang's explanation over the phone, Xiao Yu felt quite puzzled but did not ask too many questions since Vice Premier Liu asked him to come to the British Royal Palace. It was just one more trip; what if it really were something urgent So after a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yu agreed.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's agreement, Marshal Ma Tengliang instructed Little Mo to drive towards the British Royal Palace, while he himself hurried there as well. He would be waiting at the palace entrance for them soon.
The driver, Little Mo, seeing that Xiao Yu had agreed to come, turned the car around and sped back in the direction of Buckingham Palace.
After a half-hour drive, the car came to a stop on the square outside Buckingham Palace. Xiao Yu was somewhat familiar with this place since he and Yunxi had been here for a visit just a few days ago. Of course, they were only able to admire it from the outside. After their car stopped, two people got out of another nearby vehicle. One of them was Marshal Ma Tengliang, while behind him stood a young man in his thirties, who happened to be his secretary. This secretary had arranged accommodation for Xiao Yu and his companions last night, so Xiao Yu wasn't entirely unfamiliar with him.
"Mr. Xiao, you're here! I'm really sorry for troubling you to come all the way!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu getting out of the car, Marshal Ma Tengliang hurried over, extending a hand and expressing his apologies.
“It's alright. Mr. Ambassador is too courteous. Where’s Vice Premier Liu” Xiao Yu extended his own hand to shake hands with him while asking.
"Please follow me, Mr. Xiao! Vice Premier Liu is waiting for you in Buckingham Palace!" After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Marshal Ma Tengliang released his grip and led the way towards the palace ahead of them.
The entire Buckingham Palace retains a European style from the seventeenth century. Ma Tengliang walked around while introducing everything to Xiao Yu. For ordinary people, Buckingham Palace is shrouded in mystery, but for someone at Ma Tengliang's level, it has already lost its mystique.
However, what was most impressive was the interior. The palace houses over 600 rooms and features numerous paintings and exquisite redwood furniture. A gallery hall is dedicated to more than a hundred portraits and busts of kings and queens throughout British history, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In front of the palace square stands a statue of the victory goddess and Queen Victoria's seated statue. Additionally, there is a 40-acre royal garden.
Ma Tengliang walked around while introducing things to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu and Yun Xi listened as they walked around. Everything around them had a strong English style from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, giving both of them a sense of novelty.
In one of the dining rooms at Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth II was hosting Vice Premier Liu's delegation to dinner.
The two sides sat down at the table, chatting endlessly about topics they were interested in.
Actually, Vice Premier Liu found it quite strange. He wasn't surprised that the British queen wanted to see him, but he was taken aback by her invitation for a meal and her intense interest in traditional Chinese medicine from China.
Usually, when coming here, the Queen would invite them to eat as well, but those were state dinners. This private family dinner was Vice Premier Liu's first time encountering such an event.
Moreover, after joining the family dinner, the British queen didn't discuss any official matters; she mainly asked about personal issues and focused on traditional Chinese medicine from China.
"When something is abnormal, there must be a reason behind it!" So, Vice Premier Liu considered why this was happening. When Queen Elizabeth II talked about traditional Chinese medicine each time with such anticipation and continued to ask questions persistently, whenever he tried to steer the conversation away, she would gradually bring it back to traditional Chinese medicine, leading him to conclude that her actions were related to traditional Chinese medicine.
After a period of conversation, Queen Elizabeth II finally expressed her intention. It turned out that one of her granddaughters had developed an unusual condition for which Western medicine was ineffective. Recently, her son told her about a mysterious form of traditional Chinese medicine from China with some mystical powers. Upon learning that Vice Premier Liu was visiting Britain, she invited him to Buckingham Palace.
Vice Premier Liu immediately agreed to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor after hearing what the Queen said. He knew that when he came to Britain for his visit, there was also a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner in the medical team accompanying him. Therefore, once the Queen mentioned this, he quickly accepted her request. If they could indeed help cure the Queen's granddaughter, it would make future negotiations much easier, so Vice Premier Liu naturally wouldn't miss out on such an opportunity.
However, when Vice Premier Liu summoned the TCM practitioner accompanying his team and had them examine the patient, there was no solution. This left Vice Premier Liu extremely disappointed. He originally intended to have another doctor from the medical team look at it again, which would be a great chance for them, but this idea was rejected by the Queen. She didn't think that Britain's Western medicine was worse than any other country's, so there was no need to see Chinese西醫。
As such, Vice Premier Liu felt quite helpless.
Just as Vice Premier Liu was feeling somewhat disappointed, Zhou Keji thought of Xiao Yu. During the exchange meeting, Xiao Yu had demonstrated a miraculous side. If one didn't count what happened during the exchange meeting, he had personally witnessed the incredible medical skills used to treat Old Tang; that was definitely divine technique.
"Vice Premier Liu, I know there's an expert in TCM here in Britain now. He might have some ideas!" Zhou Keji thought of Xiao Yu and immediately stood up to tell Vice Premier Liu about him.
"Oh Who is it Where are they now" Upon hearing what Zhou Keji said, Vice Premier Liu turned around and asked him.
"Premier, I met them last night at the embassy. They seem to be in London on a public mission. He's called Xiao Yu, an extremely skilled master doctor! I don't know if they're still here."
Hearing Vice Premier Liu’s questions, Zhou Keji didn’t hesitate and quickly spoke up.
"Oh... Xiao Yu! How could I forget about him Haha!" Upon hearing that the TCM practitioner was Xiao Yu, Vice Premier Liu's eyes lit up as he nodded in recognition. He then chuckled, his expression becoming very relaxed, as if he were confident of success.
Regarding Xiao Yu’s medical skills, he knew more than Zhou Keji did. Back then, he had been aware of the patients from the Zhong family, Song family, and Tang family, especially having visited Old Tang himself back when he was in critical condition. He also knew a lot about Old Zhong's situation—Old Zhong’s case involved蠱! Furthermore, they had all investigated Xiao Yu, so while there were some things they couldn't find out, the information that was openly available wasn’t concealed by these elders, and it could be easily obtained with inquiries. Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Keji mention Xiao Yu, Vice Premier Liu secretly felt relieved.
"Um..."
After hearing Deputy Premier Liu's words, not only the medical team members but also everyone else was taken aback, with a hint of confusion on their faces. Could it be that Deputy Premier Liu knows this doctor
Upon finishing his words, Deputy Premier Liu didn't pay attention to these people and instead quietly instructed his secretary Wang Changning. Upon hearing Deputy Premier Liu's instructions, Wang Changning hurriedly went out to make a phone call. This was the reason for the scene where the ambassador stopped Xiao Yu.
It was evident that Ma Deliang had communicated with Deputy Premier Liu beforehand, as they proceeded without any delay toward a building.
The surrounding buildings here seemed very elegant amidst the gardens and green spaces, while several carriages were parked in front of them, with some carriage drivers sitting atop looking like knights.
"These carriages belong to Queen Elizabeth!" When Ma Deliang noticed Xiao Yu eyeing those carriages, he whispered this information to Xiao Yu.
Both Xiao Yu and Yun Xi nodded upon hearing Ma Deliang's words before being led by him into a castle-like building.
The interior of the building was incredibly luxurious and opulent. Although Xiao Yu did not touch them, he could sense that some golden elements embedded on the walls were genuine gold, with such decorations present everywhere in the place.
After they entered, an elderly man in a tuxedo led Xiao Yu's group through a grand hall to a room.
"Xiao, you're here!" Upon seeing them enter, Zhou Keji was about to speak but when Deputy Premier Liu stood up and greeted Xiao Yu, he stopped abruptly.
“Deputy Premier Liu, nice to meet you!” Hearing Deputy Premier Liu's greeting, Xiao Yu responded quickly.
Hearing Deputy Premier Liu’s greeting to Xiao Yu, Zhou Keji was startled, rapidly retracting his step and staring at Xiao Yu in disbelief. When Deputy Premier Liu mentioned Xiao Yu, he assumed the deputy premier must have heard of him through word-of-mouth for treating Old Tang, but never expected that they were acquainted. policeman did not even blink; he quickly pinned all sorts of labels onto Xiao Yu."Right, right, he also hit a doctor who was trying to save someone’s life!"At this moment, the emergency department ch...
