The Duke of Qi also looked soberly at Doctor Yao, “How long will it take, you say?”
“The location where you have the bruises is rather special, and it is very troublesome to perform the needles, if you are not careful, you will ……”
The latter words were not said by Doctor Yao, and Duke Qi’s heart sank again.
“I suggest that the State Duke should go back to the capital to find an imperial doctor, they are highly skilled in medicine and will certainly be able to help you remove the bruising very quickly.”
Doctor Yao suggested sincerely.
The Duke of Qi’s voice had a cold tone in it, “You are unwilling to treat this Duke.”
“It’s not that I’m unwilling, I don’t dare, my medical skills are shallow, in case my men are unstable ……, I don’t have anything, it’s a big deal to lose this life. However, we cannot involve my family’s master, and please do not make things difficult for me.”
“That’s you, give you ten days, if you can’t remove the bruises in my brain, I will send everyone in the Gu family to prison.”
“This ……”
“Get up, follow my lord in to perform the needles, Imperial Doctor Zheng, you follow.”
The Duke of Qi got up and headed for the inner room, Imperial Doctor Zheng followed, and Doctor Yao hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and got up, walking in with his own medicine chest on his back.
The flower hall was instantly quiet.
The guards quietly retreated, leaving Imperial Doctor Liu alone to face the stern-faced Third Prince.
“I, I will follow you in to take a look too.”
Imperial Doctor Liu found an excuse to follow him in as well.
The Third Prince was so angry that he almost overturned the table.
In the inner room, the Duke of Qi lay down on the bed while Doctor Yao opened the medicine chest and took out the needle set.
The Duke of Qi, however, vocalized to stop it, “Imperial Doctor Zheng, go and bring your silver needles.”
Imperial Doctor Zheng answered and quickly ran to get the silver needles and placed them by the bed.
“Begin.”
The Duke of Qi closed his eyes.
Doctor Yao picked up a silver needle.
Imperial Doctor Zheng and Imperial Doctor Liu watched without blinking their eyes.
Doctor Yao quickly stuck the silver needle in Duke Qi’s sleeping point.
The two men almost cried out in shock.
Duke Qi’s head lolled and he passed out.
“What, what are you doing?”
Imperial Doctor Zheng asked in a shaky voice, if anything happened to Duke Qi, the two of them wouldn’t survive.
Doctor Yao did not panic as he moved Duke Qi’s head upright and picked up another silver needle, “Didn’t I just say that the location of the bruise in Duke Guo’s brain is rather special, if he is awake, his brain will be tense all the time, which is not conducive for me to stick the needle.”
The two men watched with trepidation as he stuck the silver needles one by one on Duke of Qi’s head.
After he finished sticking them, Doctor Yao unhurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, “The needles will be ready to be removed in half an hour.”
The clothes on Imperial Doctor Zheng’s and Imperial Doctor Liu’s backs were soaked through, these silver needles were all stuck in Duke Qi’s major acupuncture points, the slightest mistake could make Duke Qi never wake up.
“My apprentice is still waiting in the side room, so I won’t be here to keep watch, please ask the two imperial doctors to let me know when His Imperial Highness wakes up.”
After saying that, Doctor Yao picked up the medicine box and walked out.
Only when they could not see his figure did Imperial Doctor Zheng and Imperial Doctor Liu dare to take out their handkerchiefs and wipe the sweat from their own faces, and after they had done so they looked at the same time at Duke Qi’s head.
If it were them, they would never have dared to put the needle down like this, it was too dangerous. However, Dr. Yao had not hesitated in the slightest before placing the needle.
Doctor Yao walked into the side room.
“Master.”
Song Wangyue got up.
Doctor Yao walked over and sat down, placing the medicine box on the floor, “I have just administered needles to the Duke of China, I’m afraid we will have to wait some time before we return.”
“You administered needles?”
Song Wan Yue was surprised, her voice was not lowered, the guards in the courtyard could hear her clearly.
“Yes, there is bruising in His Imperial Highness’s brain, the location is special, those two imperial doctors don’t dare to give the needles, so I can only do it.”
“A bruise in the brain? Is that his persistent problem?”
Song Wangyue raised her voice again.
What had just happened in the Flower Hall had not been heard by the rest of the guards except for the two at the entrance, and when they heard Song Wangyue’s words, almost everyone subconsciously pricked up their ears.
“No, it’s that he should have been injured not long ago and bruises have accumulated in his brain.”
Doctor Yao also raised his voice in tandem.
Song Wangyue nodded, then turned around and went out, saying towards the guards not far away, “Did you hear that, my master is performing needles on the Duke of China, so why don’t you guys be polite and bring us tea and cakes.”
The two guards looked at each other, one stayed where he was, the other hurriedly went to the house and came out of the courtyard a short while later, followed by a few maids when they returned, holding trays with not only cakes but also fruits. They carried them into the house, put them down and then retreated out.
The three of them ate comfortably while talking about inconsequential things.
An hour later, Imperial Doctor Zheng himself came over and shouted, “His Imperial Highness has woken up and wants to see you.”
Doctor Yao pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth clean as he went over.
The Duke of Qi was already up and sitting in his chair, after waking up, he felt as if his head was better and his mind was clearer.
Dafu Yao bowed, “Your Highness.”
“Your medical skills are good, if you don’t want to give in to this countryside, when I return to the capital some day, I will recommend you to join the Imperial Hospital.”
“Is it true what Your Highness said?”
Doctor Yao was overjoyed, “My greatest wish in life is to be admitted to the Imperial Hospital, don’t worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to treat you.”
The Duke of Qi gestured and an attendant handed him a small box, “This is a reward for you.”
Doctor Yao took it with a thousand thanks and rejoiced as he retreated.
Looking at his attitude, which was different from what he had just seen, the Duke of Qi smiled coldly.
The three of them came out from inside the county courthouse, and Song Lin, who was waiting with almost white hair, saw them and hurriedly rushed the carriage over, “Yue’er, Yi’er.”
Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi came over, Song Lin put the horse stool down for them to get on, turned the carriage around and walked back, after they got out of the street and turned a corner, they were about to ask them why they took so long to come out, when Sheriff Liu came out from the side, “Miss Song, Young Master Gu.”
Seeing him in the clothes of a magistrate, Song Lin was so frightened that he jerked the reins.
Song Wangyue lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Sheriff Liu walked over and lowered his voice to say quickly, “His Excellency asked me to tell you that he is at his wits’ end, so I hope you two will forgive me, and he will visit the old man later. ”
“Thank you for thinking of me, my lord.”
“And ……”
Sheriff Liu glanced at Song Lin, “That one is not dead, he should have been bribed, the lord said for you to be more careful.”
“I’m grateful to Sheriff Liu.”
Song Wangyue pulled out the silver ticket that Song Lin had given her and slipped it to Sheriff Liu, “Thank His Excellency on our behalf.”
Sheriff Liu quickly tucked the silver ticket in his sleeve and hurriedly left.
Thinking about the amount of the silver ticket, Song Lin forgot to ask about what had just happened and said heartily, “Yue’er, that’s fifty taels.”
He usually had no money on him, but it was only because Xu was afraid that something would happen to him in the past few days that he had given him this silver cheque.
“That’s Sheriff Liu, in the future if we come to the county office if anything happens, he will send a letter to our family in time.”
Song Lin was suddenly not heartbroken.
