Chapter 186
When they arrived at Trillium Hall, Dr. Liao was so panicked that he didn't know how to place his hands and feet when he saw that Ling Yu had brought Hua Lao, the medical guru of Western Qin, and the distinguished Prince Cheng of the imperial capital.
In the imperial capital, among the experienced doctors, who doesn’t know Mr. Hua?
But Mr. Hua didn't have any airs in front of Ling Yu. He said eagerly as soon as he sat down.
"Master, please tell me quickly. When Zhang Zhe wanted to stab Lao Cheng in the middle of his body, why did you say that the stabbing might cause Lao Cheng to suffer from hemiplegia?"
Ling Yu didn't hide anything, just said.
"At that time, Mr. Cheng's blood was flowing backwards. Zhang Zhe only needed to put needles on both sides of Mr. Cheng's neck and two needles on the soles of his feet, and the old man would be fine!"
"But Zhang Zhe refused to listen and stabbed the man's philtrum, causing all the old man's blood to squeeze into his chest. Mr. Cheng's heart could not withstand such great pressure, so he lost his heartbeat and stopped breathing!"
When Prince Cheng heard that it was so dangerous, he was a little scared and glared at Cheng Dong who was waiting at the side.
Cheng Dong was also frightened so much that his face turned pale. He knelt down and regretted it beyond words.
"Master, it's all my fault for being stupid. I heard Zhang Zhe bragging about being the apprentice of an ancient miracle doctor, so I thought that if a famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple, his medical skills should not be bad!"
"I didn't expect that I almost killed the master... Damn it, little one!"
Ling Yu looked at Cheng Dong, smiled and said to Prince Cheng.
"Old man, you can't blame Cheng Dong. He is a loyal servant. Seeing that you are in critical condition, he wanted to save you, so he mistakenly trusted Zhang Zhe!"
"Although he is reckless, he is a responsible person! If it had been anyone else, I would not be able to get close to him even if I wanted to treat him!"
Prince Cheng nodded and said, "Get up! Lady Ling will speak for you, and I won't argue with you anymore."
Cheng Dong stood up quickly and glanced at Ling Yu gratefully. He remembered the sentiment that Lady Ling spoke for him.
Ling Yu then said to Hua Lao.
"I put an acupuncture in the old man's arm to divert the blood out of the chest and reduce the pressure on the old man's heart."
"Starting the needle from the feet is also a way to reduce the pressure on the heart, so that the old man will not be revived and his legs will be paralyzed!"
When Ling Yu said this, he looked at Prince Cheng and asked.
“Old man, have you lost your taste in everything you’ve eaten in the past two years?”
Prince Cheng was stunned for a moment when he was asked, then he reacted and exclaimed.
"Ms. Ling, you are so amazing. Everything I have eaten in the past two years has indeed tasted the same, whether salty or spicy!"
Ling Yu nodded and said: "The old man must have taken a lot of herbal medicine to treat this disease in the past two years. It's three-thirds of the medicine that is poisonous!"
"The bumps on both sides of your neck are lymph. The lymph cannot filter the poison, so it accumulates!"
Ling Yu said methodically: "If this continues to develop, the old man will die within three months!"
When Cheng Dong heard this, his heart moved and he said, "Mrs. Ling, can you completely help my old man cure this disease?"
Ling Yu smiled and said: "It's not difficult. Take five doses of medicine and your master will be able to eradicate the root cause of the disease!"
Cheng Dong knelt down and kowtowed excitedly: "Then please ask Madam Ling to give you a prescription! My old man often suffers from this disease and can't sleep well! Madam Ling is a good person who will do it to the end. Please help my old man!"
Li Xiong cleverly brought a pen and paper, and Ling Yu wrote a prescription for Prince Cheng.
Hua Lao took it and studied it. If he didn't understand, he asked Ling Yu.
Ling Yu also explained patiently.
Prince Cheng has been listening patiently, thinking that Lady Ling saved his life today and gave him a prescription to remove the root of the disease. How should he repay this debt?
Seeing that Mr. Hua had finished asking, Prince Cheng said.
"Ms. Ling, your Trillium Hall is located across from Huichun Hall, and today I offended Huichun Hall because of me. Aren't you afraid that Huichun Hall will cause trouble for you?"
Ling Yu chuckled and asked playfully: "Grandpa Cheng asks this, does he want to support Trillium Hall?"
Prince Cheng glared at her and shook his head.
"There are a lot of people with good medical skills in this imperial capital, but the medicine shops they open don't last long! I'm afraid that you are young and don't understand these things, so I gave you some advice!"
Doctor Liao nodded with deep sympathy, but he couldn't guess what Prince Cheng meant, and he didn't dare to interrupt casually!
Hua Lao's expression also changed, and he said angrily.
"Old Cheng, are you referring to Huichun Hall's banditry of forced buying and selling? When I came back this time, several old friends came to me to complain, and they were talking about these things!"
"They relied on the power of Imperial Physician Zhang and Uncle Guo to suppress their counterparts in the imperial capital! The medicinal materials they sold were almost astronomical! If this continues, who among the poor can afford to see a doctor!"
"I am thinking about going to the palace to talk to the emperor about this someday. If you are serious, Lao Cheng, just go with me!"
Prince Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "You have been away for a few years and you don't understand the affairs of the DPRK!"
"Believe it or not, even if we both play together and the emperor closes the Huichun Hall to save our face, within a few days, Zhang Chuntang and Guchuntang will be opened in this imperial capital!"
"Mr. Hua, it's hard to change this situation with just the strength of you and me, if we don't stop this from happening at the source!"
"Are they just allowed to be so rampant?"
Hua Lao was so angry that his hands were shaking. He looked at Ling Yu and said annoyed.
"If I can't protect others, can't I protect even my master?"
"Mr. Hua, don't worry!"
Ling Yu thought for a while, then simply pulled off the veil and said with a smile: "I am the Spirit Lady, but I have other identities!"
"I am Ling Yu, Princess Yi, and my grandfather is the Marquis of Zhenyuan! I believe that Huichun Hall cannot touch me!"
ah! Hua Lao and Prince Cheng were both shocked.
Prince Cheng looked at Ling Yu for a long time before he suddenly realized something.
"So you are Lao Ling's granddaughter! I haven't seen you for a few years, and I can't even recognize you!"
Ling Yu smiled playfully: "Grandpa Cheng has not changed at all, he is still as energetic as before!"
Prince Cheng glared at her and cursed with a smile.
"Isn't this lying? If I want to be as energetic as before, how can I pass out on the street! Hey, it's so embarrassing today, with so many people watching!"
"I have never made such a big mistake in my life!"
"Birth, aging, illness and death are normal. Who can control when they get sick?"
"You should be lucky that you passed out on the street today to meet Princess Yi. Otherwise, with your family's high threshold, would my master be able to go in and treat you?"
Mr. Hua joked: "You fainted at the time and didn't see it. My master wanted to treat you, but he was almost arrested by the government officials!"
"These servants of yours knelt down and begged Zhang Zhe, so they gave you an acupuncture!"
Prince Cheng was so angry that his beard trembled, and he silently made a note to Zhang Zhe and Huichun Hall!
He's not even dead yet, and these people are so following the trend!
"Girl, I'm here to support you. If Huichun Hall dares to provoke you, I'll see if I don't overthrow it!"
"I can't protect other drug stores, but I can protect you Trillium Hall!"
Prince Cheng promised with a slap on his chest.
"Thank you, Grandpa Cheng!"
Ling Yu would not bully others, but there was nothing to lose from having multiple backers, so she agreed.
"When will your Trillium Hall be opened? Set a date and send someone to tell me, and I will come to support you!" Prince Cheng said enthusiastically.
"I'm coming too!"
Mr. Hua benefited a lot from discussing the prescriptions with Ling Yu. He felt that Ling Yu's medical skills far surpassed his own. How could he not praise his master!
He recognized this master and was convinced.
