Pang Tangping sneered as he waited in antic.i.p.ation to see what Baili Huangzhuang would look like with no hope left. Now all he was doing was waiting for her to fail.Once Baili Huangzhuang finished taking Xuanyuan Huan"s pulse, she began to check the pustules all over his body, her face flushed with a serious look.
The methodical, meticulous, orderly way in which Baili Huangzhuang treated him was not that of a fledgling, little, 15 year old girl, but rather it was as if she had been practicing medicine for many, many years more than her age.
In the way that all those experts had not, Baili Huangzhuang had a unique style of treatment that certainly caught many people"s attention.
Those who had once belittle Baili Huangzhuang now stared in shock and awe, wondering what magical methods she had used to cure Xuanyuan Huan.
After a while, Baili Huangzhuang stopped moving her hands and turn around to face the crowd.
"Stop putting on airs already, you can’t cure it! Admit it!" Pang Tangping taunted her. After all, this girl was all talk and no show. She really didn’t have any skill.
Baili Huangzhuang put on a smug smile and raised an eyebrow. "Who says I can’t cure him? You don’t believe me? Just because you can’t doesn’t mean I can"t. Don’t put me on the same level as you."
Looking at Baili Hongzhuang’s proud, smug face made Pang Tangping burst out in anger. "Then cure him! If you aren’t able to cure him, then try your best to sc.r.a.pe up a hundred thousand gold coins and bow down to me!"
"All talk, no skill," Baili Hongzhuang said dismally.
Ning Hong stared at Baili Hongzhuang, mystified by the strange type of medical treatment. Baili Huangzhuang must have been taught very well by an extreme expert.
Despite how good her teachers were, he still did not believe that Baili Huangzhuang could cure this illness.
"Indeed, the crown prince is poisoned," Baili Hongzhuang said slowly.
"Anyone could figure that out! Who doesn’t know that?" Pang Tangping exclaimed, annoyed. This illness of the crown prince only has one explanation—poison.
But Baili Hongzhaung"s next words made everybody snap up in attention
"However, I have coincidentally seen another similar case to this one, and thus understands how to treat this."
Hearing her words, everybody was in an uproar.
Baili Hongzhaung actually knows how to heal him?!
If she was boasting, then this Baili Hongzhuang would really be a complete fool. But if she wasn"t…
Baili Hongzhuang opened up her medicine bag to take out a needle box, opening the needle box as well. Glittering silver needles of all different sizes suddenly appeared in the crowd"s vision.
Watching such a scene, everybody"s faces turned into blatant shock.
"This couldn"t be the lost art of acupuncture, could it?"
"Those silver needles looked exactly like the ones described in the ancient texts, but the art of acupuncture had disappeared several hundred years ago!"
Any doctor or physician in the Shengxue Continent would know what the word, "acupuncture" really meant. It was a technique regarded as on the level of G.o.ds by the outside world!
Unfortunately, having been lost for more than a few hundred years, although they"ve all heard of its prestige, none one of them had actually ever seen it before.
However, the needles in the box held in Baili Hongzhaung"s arms were clearly the ones used in accupuncture!
Ning Hong"s eyes were also wide as he stared intently at Baili Hongzhaung. He was extremely curious to see if this little girl truly had skill, or was only causing trouble.
Ignoring the stunned looks from the crowd, Baili Hongzhaung directly pulled her needles out from the box and started to quickly and accurately puncture Xuanyuan Huan"s accupuncture points.
Acupuncture was first created by her Baili family, so it was only natural as head to have mastered the art of acupuncture. With such mastery, Xuanyuan Huan"s treatment flowed without a hitch.
Watching as Baili Hongzhaung stuck needles into Xuanyuan Huan, everybody"s hearts couldn’t help but jump into their throats. This was the Crown Prince, ah!
If those needles worsens the Crown Prince’s condition, then be careful of your head!
Everybody"s eyes gathered on Ning Hong"s body. However, Ning Hong had no intentions of stopping Baili Hongzhuang, only staring at her, resolve in her eyes.When Baili Hongzhuang punctured Xuanyuan Huan"s body, everybody was surprised to see no discomfort or pain on Xuanyuan Huan"s face.
The crowd was knew that for the past three days, the Crown Prince was in a constant state of unbearable pain. Although he had fallen into a coma, even if there was tiniest hint of more pain, then he would"ve instantly awoken.
By now, Baili Hongzhuang had already stabbed his body with her needles many, many times, yet Xuanyuan Huan showed no response, this Baili Hongzhuang was in no way simple.
Soon, Xuanyuan Huan"s body was covered in needles.
Baili Hongzhuang"s hands reached out and started to form a series of complicated hand seals. Her right hand p.r.i.c.ked in one last silver needle. Everybody watched astonished as the silver needle started to shake.
"It"s a miracle!!"
n.o.body knew who spoke first. Everybody"s minds were too full, stunned sily by how the lost art of acupuncture was held in this little girl"s hands.
The ancient books had stated, that those who have the ability to cause tremors-post acupuncture, was far superior to the basic art.
What was displayed in front of them, was the legendary, top tier art of acupuncture!
Ning Hong was amazed, the shock shaking even his heart. His lips twitched, wanting to say something, yet he couldn"t.
For any doctor or physician infatuated with the art of healing, seeing the practice of acupuncture, a skill lost for hundreds of years, nothing could possibly be more exciting.
The ridicule that was present on Pang Tangping"s face had long faded away, his heart trembling with shock as he watched this scene.
Recalling the scene when he had mocked Baili Hongzhuang so, Pang Tangping"s face couldn"t help but turn comical.
This was no different from slapping his own face!
He had repeatedly spoken of how Baili Hongzhuang was a girl still wet behind the ears, with only a bit of superficial knowledge, believed herself to be extraordinary.
However, the current Baili Hongzhuang could use the acupuncture techniques of a G.o.dly doctor!
If Baili Hongzhuang had only possessed superficial knowledge, then how could he have any medical expertise at all?
At this moment, n.o.body was actually paying attention to Pang Tangping"s expression, as they had focused all of their attention on Baili Hongzhuang.
As the silver needles continuously trembled, the relatively close middleman, Ning Hong could clearly see the red and swollen marks on Xuanyuan Huan"s body already disappearing, causing his wrinkled brows to relax a bit.
An excited appearance that he couldn"t control rose in his face. Originally, he really had believed that they would have had to request for Xuanyuan Huan to be buried today, they didn"t expect hope to suddenly emerge!
A quarter hour later, Baili Hongzhuang took out a pen and paper from a medicine chest, smoothly writing out a string of medicinal ingredients, saying, "Seniors, all of you must be able to prepare this, right?"
Ning Hong, without the slightest hesitation, nodded, "No problem, we"ll all immediately prepare it properly!"
"Three cups of boiled water and one cup not. Every day, the crown prince must take three doses."
After Ning Hong beckoned, a young court eunuch ran over soon after. Taking the prescription, he once again ran hurriedly off.
n.o.body doubted Baili Hongzhuang"s judgement anymore, even if they were still unable to imagine her having such medical expertise at her age. However, ordinary people were often unable to understand genius doctors.
When Xuanyuan Huan, who had been previously immersed in suffering, unexpectedly felt the pain in his body diminish, he made an effort to open his eyes and saw an indistinct and breathtaking white figure appear in his line of sight.
For a moment, he thought he was looking at a fairy, the tender and beautiful kind. In other words, someone he longed for even in his dreams.
As the fairy gave him medicine and helped alleviate his pain, he really wished to open his eyes wide so he could see her appearance clearly. However, he was too weak, and he once again sunk into slumber……
The second Baili Hongzhuang finished, everybody"s tensed bodies relaxed.Ning Hong walked over and took Xuanyuan Huan"s pulse, surprised to find how steady it was compared to its previous chaotic beat.
"What might young lady be called?"
Ning Hong"s voice was much more courteous than before, no longer daring to regard Baili Hongzhuang as any other ordinary girl.
Baili Hongzhuang bowed, "Your junior, Hongzhuang."
Ning Hong didn"t know why, but when he heard Baili Hongzhuang identify herself as his junior, his heart couldn"t help but have a trace of shame.
He had lived for so many years, but couldn"t even compare to a little girl!
Hongzhuang. Everybody silently imprinted this name into their hearts- this was the name of the one who"d mastered the art of acupuncture!
"So your name is Hongzhuang lady" Ning Hong smiled, "Does Hongzhuang lady live within the imperial city?"
"This junior arrived in the Imperial City not long ago. A few days ago, I opened G.o.dly Doctor Square here, so I guess that could be considered settling down."
Baili Hongzhuang"s face rippled with a simple yet elegant smile like a graceful lotus blooming with fresh and radiant charm.
Hearing the words, G.o.dly Doctor Square, everybody"s face turned strange.
Nearly all of them had heard about this G.o.dly Doctor Square, but they had all seen it as nothing but a big joke.
After all, with only a single 15 year old girl as the doctor, who would dare to enter the hospital?
But why actually, that little girl in G.o.dly Doctor Square was actually the same Hongzhaung standing in front of them!
Now, everybody knew that the words, G.o.dly Doctor Square, wasn"t a joke, but a reality worthy of its t.i.tle!
They all couldn"t help but recall their contempt for the hospital when it had first opened, but now, the only thing they felt was contempt towards themselves.
"So the rumored G.o.dly Doctor Square was actually run by Hongzhuang lady."
Ning Hong"s smiling face was gentle. There was a real G.o.dly Doctor right in front of them, but they didn"t have the eyes to see her true skill.
Baili Hongzhuang turned, her eyes landing onto Pang Tangping"s body.
"Physician Pang, have you prepared the bet yet?" Baili Hongzhuang smiled as she asked.
Pang Tangping"s already pale face turned even more pale when Baili Hongzhuang spoke.
100,000 gold coins, that was everything he owned!
He had never thought that his years of hard work would"ve ended up flowing into another"s hands!
"Pang Tangping, so many people are watching. You couldn"t have wanted to renege on the debt, did you?" Ning Hong"s voice was dark.
The trouble Pang Tangping had caused today was something that gave him headaches to no ends. Baili Hongzhuang had helped them fix a crisis, so of course he would spare no effort into helping her.
At this moment, everybody"s eyes suddenly landed on Pang Tangping!
Feeling the crowd"s ridicule and taunts present in their eyes, Pang Tangping wished that he could just run away.
But when he headed to the door, the crowd had already blocked it. Their intentions were clear- if the debt was not paid, then he would not be let out!
"I was taking a walk, and didn"t carry that much money on me!" Pang Tangping spoke angrily.
"That doesn"t matter, it can be dealt with some other day." Baili Hongzhuang"s lips hooked up into a smile, "Well then now, you can start apologizing!"
"It just so happens that all the doctors are gathered here today, making it much more convenient for you to apologize rather than waiting for some other day. After all, I believe that Physician Pang doesn"t have that much free time."
Baili Hongzhuang"s voice was light, and not even a hint of aggression could be heard from her tone. It was like she was just having a casual conversation as she discussed plans with you.
But for Pang Tangping, it felt as if he was being forced into a dead end, left helpless with no other way.
