Chapter 785 Toothache

"Damn it, why did my tooth start hurting all of a sudden? Oh right, we're missing a royal physician here, on standby at any time." The Fourth Prince frowned. Even the best plans can go wrong. He definitely needed to find a good doctor to take care of things here.

"Grandpa, it hurts so much. Maybe it's because I ate too much mutton and my internal heat got all over me. I don't use this side of my teeth often, so it started hurting all of a sudden," Lan said painfully, clutching her back molar.

"Su Peisheng, go and summon Zhou Momo~" Fourth Master looked at the little woman's impatient face, feeling both annoyed and amused. Serves her right for eating fewer pieces~

Su Peisheng immediately withdrew and jogged towards Zhou Momo. A moment later, Zhou Momo followed Su Peisheng, also jogging over.

"Is there a doctor on the estate?" Fourth Master asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes, there is, but that doctor is for servants, so he’s probably not suitable for public use. Consort Zhou is delicate, so it’s probably not appropriate for her,” Zhou Momo said cautiously, her head bowed.

"We can't worry about that now, let's go and call them over." Fourth Master was both distressed and annoyed.

"Your Majesty, may I fetch some ice? Applying it to the cheeks will help relieve the pain," Cui Niang said hurriedly.

"Go quickly." Fourth Master waved his hand.

Lanchun Courtyard was in a flurry of activity. Lanqin was both ashamed and in pain, and only felt a little better after applying ice for a while. Zhou Momo found the only doctor in the estate, surnamed Liang, known as Blind Liang because he was blind in one eye. Blind Liang followed her in, trembling with fear, to pay his respects. Hearing that he was to see the concubine, he was too frightened to come, and it was only through a combination of coaxing and cajoling that Zhou Momo managed to get him to come.

"Toothache, do you even know how to diagnose it?" Fourth Master immediately disliked the man for his timid and hesitant manner.

"I...I can see a little," Blind Liang replied tremblingly. The Fourth Master's face was frighteningly dark, and his tone was not very gentle. How could Blind Liang, who had never seen the world, not be afraid?

"Master, why don't you go and see Wuxiha and the others, and let this doctor examine me?" Lanqin said, seeing that the Fourth Master had an unapproachable expression, as if he wanted to freeze her into an ice block.

"Hmph, what a troublesome fellow. I'll go check on the child." Fourth Master knew his anger had probably frightened the country doctor, so he stood up angrily and went outside. He was angry at himself for not being able to face Lanqin's pain, yet being powerless to help, and could only hand the stage over to this seemingly unreliable countryman.

"Come here and take a look at me. Don't pay attention to him. He's not angry at you." Lanqin knew that Fourth Master was worried about her, but he had scared the doctor half to death.

"Yes, yes." Blind Liang sighed, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his back despite the cold winter. That man just now, his anger seemed like he could really drag them out and beat them to death at any moment. It seems this concubine is the apple of the Fourth Prince's eye.

The two doctors carried a tattered medical kit. When Lanqin opened the kit, she was surprised to find that it contained not the usual medical towels and needles, but injections, various medicine bottles, and even something that looked like a stethoscope.

"You studied Western medicine?" Lanqin asked, covering her mouth.

Blind Liang was startled. Looking at Lanqin as if he had found a kindred spirit, he took out a round, pen-like object from inside and said, "Does the concubine know about Western medicine?"

"Take a look at my teeth first." Lanqin wasn't in the mood to argue with him about Western medicine this time; she was just surprised. Then she felt a little relieved. She was already fed up with the endless drinking of bitter, black medicine residue from traditional Chinese medicine. Besides, toothache wasn't a serious illness; it might just be a wisdom tooth coming in. Thinking about this, Lanqin really wanted to go back in time. Wisdom teeth weren't something that could be cured by drinking Chinese medicine; those little teeth that grew into the flesh had to be pulled out.

“Consort, please open your mouth. I, I want to see inside your mouth.” Blind Liang picked up the small pen-like object and then a lens that looked like a magnifying glass.

"How dare you! How dare you look at the concubine's mouth!" The more Cui Niang looked at the doctor, the more suspicious she became. He actually wanted the concubine to open her mouth.

"Cui Niang, go and close the door, and move that screen over to block the view." Lanqin felt that her back molars were hurting so badly that she couldn't bear it anymore.

“But Consort Cui, this doctor is so rude, he actually wants to see you…” Cui Niang was still not recovered from her astonishment.

Blind Liang was already used to her reactions, so he simply lowered his head and stopped arguing.

"My teeth hurt. How can he diagnose the problem without looking at my mouth? Alright, Dr. Liang, please continue," Lanqin scolded.

Seeing Lanqin say this, Cui Niang had no choice but to say to Doctor Liang, "Go quickly and see the concubine."

Blind Liang walked up to Lanqin and said, "I have been rude. Please open your mouth wide, Consort, so that I may shine this light on the back alveolar region of your mouth."

Lanqin nodded and said to Nianxue, "Help me hold my chin." After saying that, she placed her chin on Nianxue's hand and opened her mouth wide.

The maids, including Cui Niang, were all too embarrassed to look at the doctor, as it was the first time they had ever seen a doctor treated like this.

Seeing Lanqin's cooperation, Blind Liang immediately picked up the small, searchlight-like device and shone it into her mouth, then raised the magnifying glass in his other hand to examine her.

"Madam, your back alveolar ridges are slightly inflamed, and the sudden consumption of too much mutton has caused your internal heat to rise," Doctor Liang said after examining you.

After he put away the utensils, Lanqin shut her mouth and said painfully, "Is there any pain reliever? It really hurts. This mutton is absolutely unbearable. I only ate a few extra pieces, and it all came up to me right away."

When the maids saw her muttering like that, they could only cover their mouths and laugh, but they didn't dare to do it in front of Lanqin.

"Here's some pain-relieving medicine. Could you please get some cotton balls, wrap them in gauze, soak them in the medicine, and have the concubine put them in her mouth?" said Blind Liang.

Upon hearing this, Cui Niang immediately went to prepare the things he had mentioned.

“Then how do we reduce this anger? Just relieving the pain will only provide temporary relief,” Lanqin said.

"Yes, I have some Western medicine here that can reduce internal heat. I just don't know if the concubine dares to use it," said Blind Liang.

"Give me some quickly. Traditional Chinese medicine works too slowly; Western medicine is much faster," Lanqin said hastily, not caring about anything else.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Master wandered around outside for a while and heard that the guy actually made Lanqin open her mouth to look. He was furious, but he was restrained because he was treating Lanqin, otherwise he would have rushed in.
