Chapter 843: The princess’s legs are unconscious
The errand boy cupped his hands and no longer complained, then said after bowing his head: “Thank you, master!”
Imperial Doctor Xu waved his hand: “You don’t need to thank me. If there is someone you have to thank, you should thank Miss Bai. Your master has been working in the Imperial Hospital for so many years that he has long forgotten his original intention.”
The internal officer stared at Imperial Doctor Xu. He couldn’t believe that a man at this age was convinced by a little girl. He didn’t know what the little girl did to make Imperial Doctor Xu highly respect her and looked at her full of admiration.

Bai Zhi returned to the consulting room. However, before she comes inside, she heard the princess’s cry.
Isn’t she alright just now? Why is she crying now?
Bai Zhi hurriedly came inside and asked Jin’er: “What’s wrong?”
Jin’er quickly got away from the bed and looked at Bai Zhi with a pale face: “Miss Bai, please look at the princess. The princess said she can’t move her legs. She said that if she becomes disabled, she didn’t want to live anymore.”
Don’t want to live anymore? That’s good. If she really wants to die, she can’t let her die in Chu Country. Otherwise, things will become more troublesome.
Bai Zhi stepped forward, opened the quilt covering the princess’s legs, stretched out her fingers, and pressed several acupuncture points on the princess’s legs: “Does it hurt?”
The princess cried and shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt, I didn’t feel anything at all. Are my legs broken? Am I disabled?”
Bai Zhi didn’t make a sound, turned around and went to the table, and opened the lock on the medicine box. This was Lin Yang’s medicine box. Each medicine box in the hospital has a pa.s.scode. Lin Yang’s pa.s.scode was her birthday. She knew it a long time ago.
After taking out a small hammer from the medicine box, she asked Jin’er to help the princess sit up. She hit the princess’s knees several times with this small hammer, but there was no response at all.
What’s going on?
She pinched the muscles on the princess’s calf, but there was no problem. So why did her legs lose consciousness?
“Miss Bai, my legs, what’s wrong with my legs?”
Bai Zhi lowered her head and fell into deep thoughts. The princess began to cry again: “It must be disabled, it must be disabled. I don’t want to live anymore, how can I live like this?”
Bai Zhi frowned, she just thought of something but was interrupted by the princess’s cry.
“Crying won’t solve any problems. I said I will cure you so don’t worry, I will find a way.” After speaking, she turned and went out.
The princess was stunned and looked up at Jin’er who was supporting her.
Jin’er quickly said: “Princess, don’t be angry, Miss Bai will definitely find a way to cure your illness. She has no other meaning.”
The princess nodded her head: “I know, I know, but my legs.”
Jin’er busily tried to calm down the princess: “Princess, when you are unconscious before, I thought that you’ll never wake up in this life. But now, didn’t you woke up? Miss Bai will definitely find a way to cure your legs, so don’t worry.” For some reason, Jin’erbelieved in Bai Zhi.
Can she not get worried? But right now, getting anxious was useless.

When Bai Zhi returned to the library, Imperial Doctor Xu and the others were still searching. All of them were frowning their eyebrows while moving their hands. Apparently, they hadn’t found the records yet.
Bai Zhi stepped forward to replace the errand boy. She took the record book in his hand and flipped through it, but her mouth was not idle: “The princess’s legs are unconscious, does Imperial Doctor Xu have an idea why?”
Imperial Doctor Xu looked up at her: “Unconscious? There is no sensation at all?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “There is no sensation at all. Even the nerves–” She paused when she mentioned the word nerves. This word seemed to be inappropriate in this era.
