Chapter 32: The Princess’s Illness

Gu Yunlan laughed: “Alright, then I’ll open your eyes!”

“Wait!” Wang, the imperial physician, interrupted her.

“What? Are you regretting it, Imperial Physician Wang?” Gu Yunlan arrogantly raised an eyebrow: “It’s okay if you regret it, I’m a good person, if you apologize to me, then this matter is settled.”

Wang, the imperial physician, was so angry that his goatee was twitching: “You little brat, you’re so reckless with your words, what will you do if you can’t cure her?”

“If I can’t cure her, then I’ll give up this identity as the Divine Doctor’s disciple.” Gu Yunlan was confident, but to others, it sounded arrogant.

Li Wei sneered: “Don’t, you’ve worked so hard to get this identity as the Divine Doctor’s disciple, why would you gamble with it? Or are you and the Princess of Nan Kang colluding to put on a show for everyone?”

Gu Yunlan looked at her like she was crazy: “Are you sick? Everyone here knows that I, Gu Yunlan, was just an unfavored concubine’s daughter before, I’ve always been excluded from various banquets, let alone knowing any noble ladies. How could I have the ability to make the Princess of Nan Kang risk her life to act with me the first time we met?”

“That’s true.”

“The Princess of Nan Kang has a strange personality, even if Gu Yunlan wanted to, the Princess probably wouldn’t cooperate.”

“This Li Wei really likes to talk nonsense, she doesn’t have any of the demeanor or bearing of a noble lady.”

Seeing that the people around her were starting to criticize her, Li Wei was a little annoyed that she had provoked her for the sake of a moment of satisfaction.

But now she was in a bind, she could only stubbornly retort: “Who knows what tricks you’re up to!”

Gu Yunlan sneered, not wanting to bother with Li Wei.

She looked at Murong Xiaoxiao, her tone softened: “Sister Xiaoxiao, do you believe me?”

Murong Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Yunlan’s sincere eyes and nodded.

She didn’t know why, but she had an inexplicable trust in Gu Yunlan.

“Alright then.” Gu Yunlan smiled: “To see results quickly, I’ll use silver needles combined with medicine, the needles will be a little painful, the medicine will be a little bitter, but it will stop your cough in a quarter of an hour and temporarily maintain the balance of Yin and Yang in your body.”

“But to cure it completely, it will take a period of continuous treatment.”

Wang, the imperial physician, laughed: “Don’t be ridiculous, the Princess has had this cough since she was young, all kinds of prescriptions have been tried, nothing works!”

Gu Yunlan rolled her eyes.

That’s because you don’t understand the treatment of combining Chinese and Western medicine!

First, use cough suppressants to stop the cough, then use silver needles and Chinese medicine to nourish the body, it won’t make the patient uncomfortable, and it won’t deplete the body.

Too lazy to argue with him, Gu Yunlan directly found the medicine from her medicine box and had Murong Xiaoxiao take it, then she started to use needles.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Although Gu Yunlan had gone to treat Gu Ziming’s broken finger, no one had seen it, so many people still had doubts.

Now, being able to see Gu Yunlan treating a patient with their own eyes, everyone present was very excited.

Mu Chenye, in the third-floor box, felt a little bored.

These people were really making a fuss.

Couldn’t they just finish the banquet and go home? He missed his little wife’s fragrant and soft embrace.

Gu Yunlan didn’t know that her little fool was secretly watching her, she was seriously using needles.

As soon as she inserted the first needle, Wang, the imperial physician, couldn’t help but shout: “Nonsense! Nonsense! That’s a death point…”

“Don’t you dare shout!” Du Gu Yue couldn’t help but grab a cloth and stuff it into Wang, the imperial physician’s mouth: “My disciple uses needles like this! Just watch!”

Gu Yunlan’s needlework was fast, but every needle was steady. She dared to insert needles on the top of the head, the palm of the hand, all sorts of places, the people around her were initially discussing it, but later they didn’t dare to say anything.

There was no other reason, this young girl was too daring!

But with Du Gu Yue, the great Buddha, present, no one dared to say a word against her.

After all, this great Buddha even dared to stuff the mouth of the Chief Physician of the Imperial Medical Institute with a cloth.

She was pricked like a hedgehog, but Murong Xiaoxiao didn’t even blink, her face even had a comfortable smile. She had been sick for so long, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to be healthy and carefree.

After a quarter of an hour, Gu Yunlan removed the needles, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled easily: “Done.”

Murong Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, her eyes widened: “It’s really not coughing anymore?”

“How is that possible?” Wang, the imperial physician, finally broke free from the people holding him down, quickly pulled the cloth out of his mouth, took Murong Xiaoxiao’s pulse, and looked like he had seen a ghost: “It’s, it’s really balanced Yin and Yang?”

The other imperial physicians looked at each other, and swarmed around, taking Murong Xiaoxiao’s pulse one after another, just looking at their expressions, they knew that Wang, the imperial physician, was telling the truth.

Du Gu Yue looked proud: “My disciple, of course, is a genius! What’s so strange about that!”

Murong Xiaoxiao held Gu Yunlan’s hand, her eyes were moist: “Sister, please accept Xiaoxiao’s bow.”

She was about to give Gu Yunlan a big bow.

Gu Yunlan hurriedly pulled her back.

Nonsense! How could she let Murong Xiaoxiao, a princess of the royal family, bow to her? That would be a crime of disrespect!

She smiled and patted Murong Xiaoxiao’s hand: “Sister, you’re so beautiful, even the King of Hell wants to take you away. But I, your sister, love beautiful women the most, how could I bear to let you go? If you really want to thank me, then wear red and green every day, laugh happily, and your sister will be happy too!”

Her words made Murong Xiaoxiao’s face turn red: “Then, then I’ll wear more beautiful dresses and come to see my sister.”

People in the capital city mentioned her, all saying it was a pity.

Talent was useless, beauty was wasted, only a short life hung on her, plus the torment of illness, how could she be happy?

But girls don’t dislike being praised for their beauty, especially when they are praised by a beauty like Gu Yunlan.

Just as the two were about to sit down and talk intimately, they saw Wang, the imperial physician, pondering for a while, then frowned: “Something’s wrong!”

He glared at Gu Yunlan, his goatee sticking up even higher: “You deceiver, you actually used a dying light method to consume the Princess’s life force to raise your reputation, you are truly malicious!”

Gu Yunlan was speechless: “I said, old man, I’m being very kind to you, considering that you’re at least the Chief Physician of the Imperial Medical Institute, I didn’t make you fulfill your promise, why are you still slandering me?”

Wang, the imperial physician, snorted coldly: “The Princess’s illness has been seen by everyone in the Imperial Medical Institute, the treatment methods are all decided by dozens of imperial physicians together, it’s not easy to have lasted until now, how could it suddenly improve? Unless you used a secret medicine to drain the Princess’s life force, making her seem to improve, but she will decline in a few days, isn’t that malicious?”

Gu Yunlan dug her ears: “Are you getting old and your memory is getting bad? I just said that Sister Xiaoxiao’s illness can be cured, if she suddenly dies, how can I escape unscathed?”

“You can just make up other excuses then, after a long time, no one will be able to prove that you have anything to do with the medicine you fed the Princess today, that’s your plan!” Wang, the imperial physician, looked righteous.

“You don’t believe my disciple, then you must believe my medical skills, right?” Before Gu Yunlan could say anything, Du Gu Yue spoke.
