" Alright, alright. As long as you're willing to save me, I'll agree to any of your conditions!"”
He looked like he wanted to worship Ning Ruqiu like a Bodhisattva.
"In that case, we can sit down and have a good chat.”Ning Ruqiu was very satisfied with how sensible Qing Ning was.
However, Ning Ruqiu's image in Lan Mo's eyes suddenly changed from being as tough as a plum blossom to being an unscrupulous businessman. However, he was very curious about what this woman was thinking.
The group of people arrived at Ming Yi Fang. Ning Ruqiu noticed that the business here could be said to be very different from that day. If it could be said that it was bustling with customers before, it could only be empty now.
Seemingly able to read Ning Ruqiu's mind, Qing Ning smiled bitterly and said," I've become like this now. I can't even perform the most basic looking, listening, asking, and taking. Of course, no patients will come to see me again."”
Qing Ning knew that she had done many wrong things in the past, but his original intention as a doctor was to treat and save people. Unfortunately, he had gone astray and ended up like this.
"Where's the quack sign that I asked you to wear? If you didn't fulfill the previous bet, how can I be sure that you won't go back on your word this time?”Ning Ruqiu snorted coldly, seemingly 'brooding' over Qing Ning's past.
Facing this kind of person, only by giving him a deep lesson would he be able to remember what he should and shouldn't do. In front of Ning Ruqiu, it was useless to gain sympathy.
Qing Ning's face turned slightly red. She then ordered someone to take out a wooden board with the words 'I'm a Quack' engraved on it. However, he did not want to hang it up because it was too embarrassing.
Ning Ruqiu chuckled." I want you to hang this wooden token to practice medicine. As for how long you have to hang it, it will depend on your performance."”
" Alright, I'll do as you say," said Xiaoning reluctantly.”
"Then, I need to take a few medicinal herbs from your Ming Yi Lane.”
"No problem. You can have any medicinal herbs you want.”Qing Ning readily agreed to his request, but he had forgotten that Ning Ruqiu was a doctor through and through. All the herbs she had collected from Ming Yi Lane were of the highest quality, and some of them were even priceless. Even the treasure of Ming Yi Lane could not escape Ning Ruqiu's 'vicious' hands.
Lan Mo did not expect Ning Ruqiu to have such a big appetite. The two big baskets of medicinal herbs in front of him were probably the entire fortune of Ming Yi Fang.
"Are you heartbroken?" Ning Ruqiu raised her eyebrows. Qing Ning's pained expression was too conspicuous.
Qing Ning shook her head hurriedly. He had a way to find these herbs again, but this was the only chance for her arm to recover.
Ning Ruqiu took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve and poured out a pill from it before handing it to Xiaoning." Eat it."”
" This…" Qing Ning hesitated for a while before taking the pill from Ning Ruqiu's hands. However, she did not have the courage to put it into her mouth.
"Don't worry, this isn't a poison, at least not now. As long as you treat people honestly, it will never become a poison. On the contrary, you will very likely soon see its true effect.”Ning Ruqiu paused and continued," Whether you want to eat it or not, the decision is yours. It's up to you.”
Ning Ruqiu had given Qing Ning the absolute right to choose, but she knew very well that he had no choice at all. With or without this poison in his body, Ning Ruqiu could take his life at any time. Ever since the incident that day, especially after he had no way to seek medical help, his fear of Ning Ruqiu had unknowingly seeped into his bones.
Qing Ning threw the pill into her mouth and closed her eyes for a long time, not daring to open them.
"You have met all my requirements. I will help you rejoin your bones now. It might hurt a little, so bear with it for a while.”As Ning Ruqiu spoke, she grabbed onto both of Xiaoning's limp arms and forcefully touched the acupuncture points on them. Her movements were so fast that it dazzled the eyes. In the end, there was a click, as if a key had unlocked the right lock, and her arms were restored to their original positions in no time.
Before Qing Ning could react to what Ning Ruqiu had done, he felt his arm suddenly regain some sensation. He shook his arm in disbelief, finally able to move it like before.
Qing Ning knelt down in front of Ning Ruqiu once again. This time, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with gratitude towards Ning Ruqiu." Thank you…thank you for saving my life, Miss. If you need me in any way in the future, please let me know. I'll definitely do anything for you!"”
"A man has gold on his knees, so it's better not to kneel so easily. Besides, we're just exchanging something of equal value. You don't have to make a mountain out of a molehill.”For Ning Ruqiu, reconnecting bones was really a piece of cake. Those so-called famous doctors couldn't do it because they didn't know much about the acupoints and joints of the human body. Moreover, they had no confidence in their own art.
Lan Mo had been watching the whole process from the side. He had to admit that Ning Ruqiu was indeed capable, so she must not have just said that she wanted to enter the palace to see the Emperor.
"Are you really confident that you can cure the emperor's illness?”Lan Mo suddenly asked. If not for the fact that all the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless, he would not have to treat a dead horse as a living horse.
Ning Ruqiu's lips curled up." As a doctor, the worst thing you should do is lie and boast. Now, I haven't even met the Emperor, so how can I guarantee that I can cure him? However, the Emperor's life was probably in danger. If he tried more at this time, there might be unexpected gains. It would depend on whether General Lan had the courage to take this gamble.”
Lan Mo could see the pride and determination that belonged only to Ning Ruqiu in her eyes. Somehow, he felt that her words could not be doubted.
"In that case, I'll risk my life to gamble with you. I believe you won't disappoint me.”Lan Mo said truthfully.
Ning Ruqiu and Lan Mo looked at each other and smiled. They both got the answer they wanted from each other's eyes.
"Now that the Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, if you want to enter, you can only pretend to be a little eunuch. This way, it won't arouse too much suspicion.”
Lan Mo's gentle voice was like a calm lake without any ripples, making people's hearts calm down. Coupled with his handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, it was reasonable for so many women to flock to him.
Ning Ruqiu didn't mind disguising herself as a eunuch. As long as she could figure out what was going on with the Emperor's illness, the following matters would be much easier to handle.
"From now on, you have to act according to my intentions. The palace is not like the Ye Imperial Residence. If you're not careful, you might lose your head. At that time, even I might not be able to protect you.”Lan Mo kindly reminded her. This was also one of the reasons why he was unwilling to bring Ning Ruqiu to the palace.
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace gate. Just as they got off the carriage and were about to enter the palace, a man walked towards them. At first glance, Ning Ruqiu thought that Si Tingye had been released.
"He is?" Ning Ruqiu asked doubtfully. The man's face was at least 70% similar to Si Tingye's, but his aura was very different. If Si Tingye was a lone wolf waiting for an opportunity to strike, then this man was a cunning fox.
"He is the current Sixth Prince and also the younger brother of King Ye's mother, Si Hengqing.”Lan Mo lightly introduced.
Almost everyone in Great Hong Kingdom knew about the deep relationship between these two brothers. That was why Lan Mo found it strange that Si Hengqing did not react at all to Si Tingye's attempt to murder the emperor. He did not make any moves on the surface or in the dark, as if he did not know anything at all.
"Lan Mo, when did you get a eunuch?”Si Hengqing walked towards them. His face was like jade and his eyes were like bright stars. He was handsome and elegant. He was the perfect example of a playboy.
Lan Mo pulled Si Hengqing aside and said mysteriously," This is a quack doctor that I spent a lot of effort to find. Maybe he can prove Ye's innocence."”
"Really? Where did you find this quack doctor? Is he reliable?”When Si Hengqing heard that there was someone who could prove Si Tingye's innocence, his bright eyes instantly lit up like a few hundred Watt light bulbs.
Ning Ruqiu indeed wanted to find out the ins and outs of this matter, but it didn't mean that she wanted to be labeled as a quack doctor. She was a professional, after all, so why did Lan Mo suddenly say that she was a quack who could read a fortune on the street for a few taels of silver?
Si Hengqing sized Ning Ruqiu up. He felt that this quack doctor had delicate features and was slightly younger. He did not expect her to be one of his many third sisters-in-law.
"Of course it's reliable, but before that, we still need Ye to agree to this plan.”Lan Mo's tone sounded like he was deceiving a child. The speed at which he fell for Si Hengqing was much faster than Ning Ruqiu had imagined.
"That's not a problem. I can arrange for 'him' to meet Third Brother.”Si Hengqing replied confidently.
Everything was ready. Now, all that was left was to meet Si Tingye. Ning Ruqiu had been waiting patiently until night time. It was said that the guards in the imperial prison were the most relaxed at 11:00, so Ning Ruqiu took the opportunity to sneak into the imperial prison with the people she had arranged.
Ning Ruqiu restrained her breath and carefully went to the cell where Si Tingye was being held. She saw Si Tingye standing there with his back facing the cell door. His tall figure was elongated by the moonlight that shone through the small window. For some reason, he gave her a sense of loneliness.
Si Tingye heard movement behind him and turned around calmly. He did not expect to see the woman standing in front of him, whom he thought would never appear here.
"Ning Ruqiu, why are you here?”Si Tingye furrowed his brows, a complicated look flashing across his eyes.
Ning Ruqiu said with some amusement," I'm just curious about how His Highness looks like when he's reduced to a prisoner. Sure enough, he still looks the same as usual, just as annoying."”
"What did you say?" Si Tingye sneered and leaned forward. His good mood was completely ruined by Ning Ruqiu's words.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 27PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
