Chapter 293 - 292: Testing the Waters with Medical Skill (Bonus - for Recommendation Tickets)
After Little Xinzhuo was taken away, Xin Lin entrusted Captain Yang to immediately inform her of any suspicious activities.
After all, this was still under the watchful eye of Empress Feng, and Xin Lin feared that the Empress would secretly interfere.
She was only halfway there when she received news that Long Qingchen had gone to the Medical Hall, so Xin Lin used the Ghost Escape Technique and hurried over.
Just approaching the Medical Hall, she saw an apprentice grabbing medicine with a prescription, and Xin Lin knew something was wrong with just one glance at it.
"You say I am plotting against Xinzhuo, but which eye of yours saw me do it? I just instructed Doctor Lu to take good care of him."
Long Qingchen’s face was full of anger.
He admitted to having changed the prescription, and he had learned some pharmacology at Qingtian Academy. The ingredients in the prescription were merely replaced, none of them harmful.
He didn’t believe that Xin Lin could figure out what was wrong.
"Whether the prescription is correct should be confirmed by Doctor Lu. Polygonum multiflorum was replaced with Ophiopogon, ginseng was replaced with Crane Grass, and the medical properties changed from nourishing blood to stopping blood. Not to mention, the quantities of Blood River Sword Grass and Panax notoginseng were also reduced. The prescription looks fine, but Little Xinzhuo suffered light internal injuries, his organ’s stagnant blood needs to be expelled, but you replaced a tonic with an astringent, which will only worsen the blood stagnation and aggravate his condition! Doctor Lu, am I right?"
Doctor Lu, standing nearby, was also shocked.
He had diagnosed Little Xinzhuo several times before daring to prescribe any medicine.
But now, this young girl, without even feeling his pulse, saw the details of Little Xinzhuo’s injuries clearly!
The several medicines she mentioned were indeed altered previously by the Third Prince.
"This... this... Perhaps I, Doctor Lu, have seen it wrong. The prescription might need further reconsideration."
Doctor Lu, too, found himself in a difficult position. If he admitted, wouldn’t that offend the Third Prince, potentially endangering his position as a medical official?
He hurriedly wrote a new prescription and sent someone to get the medicine.
Long Qingchen’s face couldn’t hide the embarrassment. If he let her go just like that, Long Qingchen’s face would be at stake.
At this hour, the Imperial Examination should still be ongoing.
If he detained Xin Lin, causing her to miss the time for the Imperial Examination, let’s see how she can still show off her skills.
"The error in the prescription lies with Doctor Lu, and you dare to slander me, which is also a serious crime. Guards, take her and her lowly brother down!"
"Dare to touch a single hair on Xinzhuo and see what happens, thinking you can be lawless just because you’re a prince."
Furious, Xin Lin’s face turned red, and her small fists creaked.
Little Xinzhuo has yet to wake up, and all this is due to Jin Chen and his people!
"Let me meet this so-called second-place of the Martial Arts Examination, the prowess of an Advanced Spirit Master."
Long Qingchen snapped open the Golden Bone Fan in his hand.
Xin Lin was an Advanced Spirit Master; her movement technique just now was like vanishing and appearing at will; Long Qingchen had his apprehensions. His gaze shifted, landing on the unconscious Little Xinzhuo.
Capture the younger one first, the older one will surely surrender obediently!
From the Golden Bone Fan, several steel blades protruded, shimmering coldly. Long Qingchen infused the fan with True Qi, causing it to move on its own, spinning and striking toward the bed where Little Xinzhuo lay!
Xin Lin’s eyes narrowed as she channeled Fu Xi’s Energy into her right fist, swinging fiercely without fear of the Golden Bone Fan. With a loud bang, her fist’s wind smoothly redirected, striking with precision and power, forcefully deflecting the trajectory of the Golden Bone Fan.
The Golden Bone Fan plunged into the nearby wall with a ’puff’, embedding itself as easily as into tofu.
