Chapter 127.2: Rebirth of the Black Lotus (4)
When he saw that the medicinal soup was all consumed, Lin Shiheng seemed to be relieved to have completed some task, and placed the medicine bowl to one side. He clapped his hands, “I have to ask my Emperor Brother what kind of eunuch doctor was sent here. One moment he said he wanted to treat it this way and the next he said he wanted to treat that way. He also said that he was better at medicine than even the court’s Imperial Doctor.”
He snorted coldly, without concealing it from the people serving in the room, “Princess doesn’t know, right? Yesterday, that Doctor Cui said you needed the flesh of your biological relatives for the medication, and your unruly third sister volunteered to do it. I admired her courage so much that I drew my sword and intended to remove the flesh myself, but before I could do so, that Doctor Cui popped up from somewhere, saying that there was no need for the medicine, and that it would be better to treat it directly.”
Mu Qingling paused as she wiped her mouth with her handkerchief, “Does Your Highness mean Doctor Cui, Cui Mu?”
If she remembered correctly, he was a cousin of the Old Madam’s maiden’s family and had stayed at the residence for some time when she was a child. Mu Qingling had met him once. His affection for Mu Qingrong was clearly written on his face, but Mu Qingrong had always ignored him.
Later, when the Old Madam got sick and he got older, he moved out of Marquis’s Residence. She heard that he later became an Imperial Doctor and was once praised by the Emperor for his excellent medical skills.
Now that Cui Mu had misdiagnosed and Mu Qingrong was involved, it was hard not to make Mu Qingling wonder about it a little more.
“That’s him. He’s a real troublemaker.”
Lin Shiheng snorted once again, “In all my life, I’ve never seen an Imperial Doctor from the Imperial Hospital misdiagnose. What the hell is going on here? Today, I had a good idea and sent the prescription he gave me to the court’s Imperial Doctor to see, and guess what the Imperial Doctor said?”
“He said that the prescription wasn’t for the deficiency that Cui Mu said, but for an antidote to a poison, which Cui Mu hadn’t mentioned to this Prince.”
