Looking at Baili Huangzhuang"s calm and composed appearance, the head physician Ning Hong"s expression had already changed somewhat. Regardless of the little girl"s medical skill, just her mental strength alone wasn"t something normal people could compare to.
"You are young. Even if you"ve studied medicine since you were a child, it would still be impossible for you to master the art. Go back." Ning Hong said.
He could already see the Crown Prince not making the night. When he dies, the Emperor would surely grow angry, and everybody here would be implicated. A little girl doesn"t have to come here only to experience such a calamity!
"Even this little girl who still smells of her mother"s milk can help treat the Crown Prince, I see your group of doctors are really lacking, ah!"
An arrogant voice suddenly sounded behind Baili Huangzhaung, interrupting Ning Hong"s words.
Everybody turned around only to see a man in his 40s appear in the crowd.
The man who seemed to be around 40 wore an embroidered dark green robe, but even his top-notch robes couldn"t hide his rather large pot belly. He was currently mocking Ning Hong.
Spotting this man, Ning Hong"s face instantly darkened, "Pang Tangping!"
Pang Tangping smiled happily, "I was originally driven away from this imperial physician"s inst.i.tute, but who knew that you all would one day need my help?"
"You had no medical ethics at all, you shouldn’t have even been allowed into the imperial physician inst.i.tute!" Ning Hong"s voice was heavy.
As he listened, Pang Tangping"s eyes flashed with a trace of disdain.
"As long as I"m a doctor, the most important thing is being a doctor. How are my medical ethics no good? At least it"s much better than this little girl who still stinks of her mother"s milk that you let in!"
"I"ve only left the imperial physician"s insitute for a few years, but it seems the inst.i.tute had already crumbled away enough to actually place its hopes on a child."
Pang Tangping"s speech was extremely proud, contempt clear in his eyes as his glance swept everybody in the imperial physician"s inst.i.tute disdainfully.
He still remembered the day he was driven out from this imperial physician"s inst.i.tute. Today, it can finally be considered as the start of his revenge.
Baili Huangzhuang frowned a little, why does this guy insist on dragging her into their conversation?
She"s actually getting shot even while lying down, ah!
Meanwhile, many of the pharmacists and doctors by the Crown Prince were all looking at Pang Tangping unhappily.
This man was simply too arrogant!
This situation in the East Palace was just because the Crown Prince"s illness was never seen before, but with just a glance, he already started to look down on them all!
Pang Tangping noticed Baili Huangzhuang"s frown and instantly started to taunt her, "Little girl, what are you looking at?"
Hearing Pang Tangping"s disdainful and provocative words, Baili Huangzhuang"s rosy face turned icy.
"I see a fat pig. What about you?"
Hearing such words, everybody was stunned.
n.o.body expected this refined and elegant little girl to have actually spat out such words. Only, dead fatty…… Actually resembled Pang Tangping very much.
Pang Tangping couldn"t help but be surprised. This girl who he never took seriously had actually dared to talk back to him!
"I see this little girl really lacks discipline! Didn"t your mother teach you any manners?"
He originally wanted to walk unbridledly in front of everybody, but having lost face to a little girl, Pang Tangping"s words became even more impolite.
Baili Huangzhuang"s voice was heavy and her ink-black pupils gleamed coldly.
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you think you have to do such a thing?"
Her icy voice was domineering as Baili Huangzhuang raised her chin, a fearful, imposing aura erupting from her.
Baili Huangzhuang has been changed to Baili HongzhuangBaili Hongzhuang"s original delicate and pet.i.te figure suddenly seemed to appear taller.
Everybody looked at her, astonished. In a flash, they were already no longer able to regard Baili Hongzhuang as a normal little girl that was ignorant of how the world works.
"Who is this girl? How could her aura be so extraordinary?"
"I don"t know, but if the guards allowed her inside, then her ident.i.ty couldn"t be ordinary."
"This Pang Tangping was unwillingly driven out of the insitute, so now that the imperial pharmacist inst.i.tute is weak, it"s only natural that he wanted revenge."
"I heard that after Pang Tangping was expelled from the inst.i.tute, he ran into a highly skilled doctor, and his medical skills had greatly improved. If he really cured the Crown Prince, then Imperial Physician Ning definitely won"t have an easy time"
As soon as one discussion fell, another began.
n.o.body thought that the Crown Prince"s illness would actually be so difficult, completely surpa.s.sing their own imaginations. They"ve tried a number of different techniques, but not one improved Xuanyuan Huan"s condition.
When Pang Tangping heard what Baili Huangzhuang had said, he could only feel a burst of anger well up inside him as his right hand suddenly lashed out, prepared to give Baili Hongzhuang a lesson.
A layer of ice frosted over her charming face. Just as Baili Hongzhuang was about to teach Pang Tangping a lesson, Ning Hong had already blocked Pang Tangping"s hand.
"Pang Tangping, you are one of the older generation, but you actually raised your hand towards a junior. Don"t you have even the slightest bit of tolerance?"
Ning Hong"s face was sullen. At that time, it was him who had driven Pang Tangping from the imperial physician inst.i.tute, but now he had come back only to behave atrociously.
As long as he"s here, he will never let Pang Tangping pollute the imperial physician inst.i.tute.
Pang Tangping smacked Ning Hong"s hand away, "I"m not the same person I was in the imperial physician"s inst.i.tute. You are not qualified to teach me."
Seeing the two in a stalemate, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up, "You said that I was young and inexperienced, with no skill in the art of medicine. Don"t tell me you can cure the Crown Prince?"
Her cold voice was taunting. She really didn"t know what kind of sickness this guy had to sprout such arrogant words without taking one look at Xuanyuan Huan"s condition. Were there always this many idiots in the world?
Hearing her words, Pang Tangping laughed contemptuously. How could he fall for such a simple taunt?
"If I can"t cure the Crown Prince, then that means you also can"t cure the Crown Prince."
"And if I did cure him?"
The corners of Baili Hongzhuang"s rose into a barely noticeable smile, fixing her gaze on Pang Tangping as she asked questioningly.
"You"re joking!" Pang Tangping"s face was full of mockery.
"Really, it was true that new born calfs don"t fear the tiger. You take yourself to be exceptional at the art of healing despite only just knowing a bit of the basics. If you can cure the Crown Prince, then pigs can fly."
Facing Pang Tangping"s taunts, Baili Hongzhuang wasn"t the slightest bit angry and only smiled sweetly, "Since you are so sure, how about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"If I cure the Crown Prince, then you must pay me 100,000 gold coins and apologize to everybody on the scene!"
Her clear, exquisite face glowed with self-confidence and pride, as if she had victory already in her grasp. Her eyes shined provokingly, her imposing mannerism strengthening.
Pang Tangping was about to agree to Baili Huangzhuang, but when he heard the stakes at risk, his "good!" was swallowed back down into his throat.
One hundred thousand gold coins. That was not a small sum, even if he were to have sold all his belongings.
But when he looked at Baili Hongzhuang"s young face, he couldn"t help but grow much more confident!
Ning Hong was completely shocked. No one had thought that this little girl who was only deliberately creating trouble, would make such a reckless bet!One hundred thousand gold coins!
Almost n.o.body on the scene would choose to make such an huge bet, but when Baili Hongzhuang asked Pang Tangping to apologize to everybody, they all felt a trace of warmth in their hearts.
"Little girl, betting a hundred thousand gold coins isn"t a joke. Don"t be impulsive!" Ning Hong quickly advised her.
In his view, Baili Hongzhuang was young and impetuous. She was angry from Pang Tangping"s words, so she made such a spur of the moment bet.
If the other party was your ordinary, lenient elder, then it would be nothing. But Pang Tangping wasn"t!
As long as Baili Hongzhuang lost here today, then he would definitely force her to bankruptcy!
Noticing the concern on Ning Hong"s face, Baili Hongzhuang smiled. This physician had a good heart, reminding her to possibly prevent her from making serious mistake.
"Elder, this is my own discretion."
The sound had just fallen when Baili Hongzhuang turned to face Pang Tangping, taunting him, "What"s wrong? You don"t dare to accept the bet?"
"How could I not dare to!"
Pang Tangping"s tone was hard. This girl was only about 15, what kind of medical skills could she have?
He had never heard of such a girl in the whole country, so since she is willing to lose, then he"ll help her!
"If you lose, then you must not only give me a hundred thousand gold coins, but also kneel down and call me grandpa!"
Pang Tangping"s oily face grinned, he simply couldn"t wait to see Baili Hongzhuang"s appearence as she begs him for mercy!
"Pang Tangping, don"t go too far!"
Ning Hong"s face was indigent. This guy was actually treating a junior so seriously, just disgraceful, ah!
"Ning Hong, this matter has nothing to do with you. Instead of chirping here, it would be better to think about how you can keep your position!" Pang Tangping mocked coldly.
"No problem, I can promise you!" Baili Hongzhuang"s face didn"t change as she replied indifferently.
Watching Baili Hongzhuang"s confident approval, everybody"s faces couldn"t help but change slightly. Although they still believed that Baili Hongzhuang would lose, they were still curious whether or not Pang Tangping would be able to cure the Crown Prince.
"Prepare to kowtow and call me grandpa!"
Pang Tangping smiled arrogantly before walking directly into the room. He had specifically waited until the group of doctors and physicians were helpless before he entered, in order to truly show off his skill.
Since having the guidance of that medicinal expert, his skill in medicine had improved greatly and was now quite well known in Feng Bo country as a famous doctor. His self-confidence had been improved greatly. Ning Hong and the others, they were all no match for him!
Baili Hongzhuang followed, entering Xuanyuan Huan"s room.
"Master, will this guy really be unable to cure Xuanyuan Huan?"
Little Black"s voice was worried. If this Pang Tangping"s skills were really as good as he claims, then wouldn"t that mean…
The corners of Baili Hongzhuang"s lips rippled with a faint smile, "This is my personal recipe. Besides me, n.o.body else can cure it!"
It wasn"t because she was conceited, but due to her long and meticulous research on the misama poisoning powder. This was the powder that she used every mean to develop. Even the elders back then had tried to detoxify it, but not one was successful.
Since then, she had fallen dangerously ill a few times. But she was very interested in poisons, investing much of her time to it and had a certain degree of confidence with this.
