Chapter 195: Skill Suspected 2
It was Zhang Liang, the deputy chief of the imperial hospital.
He had been in charge of Madame Jiang’s health. Now that Zhou Huaijin was presenting Gu Chaoyan to her, he was slapping him directly on his face. So his wrinkled face was full of disdain.
Being a doctor was a very different profession.
It was about experience. He was almost 50 years old and finally reached the position of deputy chief. So undoubtedly, apart from the Chief, he was the most skillful in medicine, otherwise he would not have been a.s.signed to carry out the treatment of Madame Jiang.
And this little girl next to Lord Huai was not yet 15! It was such a joke that Madame Jiang was going to be checked by her!
He did not care whether Madame Jiang minded being treated by her. He should not be humiliated!
With a sullen face, he said, “Lord Huai, are you implying that I am not skilled enough, that is why this girl is being brought here to humiliate me? I have to report this to the King!”
Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Zhou Huaijin involuntarily.
It seemed that this Lord Huai was indeed arrogant. He asked her to check the patient right in the face of this experienced Deputy Chief! That was not very pleasant.
Gu Chaoyan was thinking about how to explain the situation. When she was about to say something, she saw Zhou Huaijin nodd seriously and say, “True, she is here to humiliate you.”
Haha.
That was so straightforward! Gu Chaoyan almost burst into laughter, but she did not dare to utter a word or laugh when facing this deputy chief. She kept a flat expression and took this interval to check Madame Jiang, aiming to find out how she was doing.
“You... Madame Jiang, I am going to report this to the King!” Deputy Chief Zhang was so angry that his beard was twisted. “Lord Huai must have been deeply obsessed with the girl who is talking nonsense and expects to set you up, Madame Jiang!”
Zhou Huaijin looked serious. He was about to say something when Gu Chaoyan mumbled seriously, “So Deputy Chief Zhang, are you saying that I am pretty?”
Haha... Zhou Huaijin could not help but laugh.
Madame Jiang also chuckled as she was lying in bed. “This girl is so much fun.”
“Madame Jiang, she is fun but she is not helpful! You are seriously ill and we can’t allow Lord Huai to play jokes on you with this girl!” Deputy Chief Zhang said firmly, “What can this girl do? We imperial doctors were just a.s.sistant boys at her age!”
When Gu Chaoyan heard what Deputy Chief Zhang said, she understood that he did not believe her abilities because of her age.
That was quite understandable. Doctors of this age only reached some achievements at a very old age.
Instead of playing any more jokes, Gu Chaoyan said seriously, “Madame Jiang is not as seriously ill as you think. If I am right, Madame Jiang, are you often suffering from headaches, feeling dizzy, and does your heart hurt often and limbs feel numb? Sometimes you also feel tired and as if your chest is constricted?”
Madame Jiang’s eyes widened, as she nodded.
She had been worried that Huaijin was tricked by some liar when this girl showed up, but hearing what the girl said, she could not help but look at this girl. Deputy Chief Zhang and other imperial doctors did not see through those symptoms that she had mentioned.
She completely described how she was doing.
Madame Jiang was about to ask further when Zhang Liang snorted. “Those are just symptoms, maybe Lord Huai has told her before already! Don’t be tricked, Madame Jiang!”
“What if I say that I am able to cure Madame?” Gu Chaoyan asked with displeasure.
