Chapter 74 The Prince is about to be pried away
Old Liu took a step back, perhaps with a hint of anticipation for the show.
These young people are still too arrogant. They are so bold as to take on any disease.
We are now in a difficult situation. If we just sit there and do nothing, the free medical consultation plan organized by Huichuntang will fail before it even starts.
Lu Wanning turned around and looked at the man's nervous face.
He seemed to understand Mr. Liu's expression. His eyes were a little confused, mixed with hope that had not yet been extinguished.
It seemed that with just one word from Lu Wanning, the light in his eyes would completely dim.
Lu Wanning said, "It can be cured."
When Elder Liu heard this, his eyes widened. "How are you going to treat this congenital lung problem? Do you have to gouge out this lung and replace it with a new one?"
These words were a bit creepy, and the man shuddered.
Hu Yan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch this. Even though Old Liu usually helped their prince to take care of his health and had a good relationship with Prince Qi's Mansion, she was the prince's wife's person, so naturally she had to protect her.
What's more, Sang Mingyue helped her change her appearance, so Old Liu couldn't recognize her.
So Hu Yan said with a stern face, "If you can do it, then go ahead. If you can't, then get out of the way. Our Doctor Lu said he can treat it. Why are you causing trouble here?"
Liu Lao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You little medicine boy really have no manners."
Hu Yan snorted and ignored him.
Lu Wanning didn't care about the argument between the two people. She glanced at the little head peeking out of the window over there, and her brows softened a little.
"My lungs are congenitally weak. I've heard from my master before that cloudgrass can protect the heart and lungs. It works really well with acupuncture, but the process is a bit painful. I'm not sure if a child of this age can handle it."
The man slumped over when he heard there was a solution, and he barely managed to stand by rubbing his hands against a nearby tree. "Yes, my child has been suffering from minor illnesses and pains since she was little. She just hopes to get better so she can go out and have a look. If I tell her there's a cure, she'll endure any pain."
Lu Wanning nodded. "Okay, acupuncture needs to be done for seven consecutive days. If possible, let's start today."
Old Liu couldn't help himself again. "Old Luo's needlework is superb. It's not surprising that he passed this technique on to you, but this Yunying grass is an extremely precious medicinal herb. Not only is it not found in Huichun Hall, but even in Yunque Pavilion. Where are you going to find it?"
Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, Mr. Liu. I have my own way."
The man went in and said a few words to his daughter, and soon he asked Lu Wanning to go in and give her acupuncture.
Hu Yan followed in carrying the medicine box. Elder Liu wanted to follow immediately, but Hu Yan stopped him and said, "Our Doctor Lu's acupuncture method is not to be passed on to others."
Old Liu's beard curled up, but he couldn't refute it.
As the little girl took out the cloth bag containing the silver needles, she kept staring at Lu Wanning.
Lu Wanning brushed her eyes with her palm and said, "Turn away, or close your eyes."
The silver needle is very long, and it is inevitable to be scared when looking at it.
But the little girl just shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid."
She seemed to be truly unafraid, and she didn't tremble at all when she saw Lu Wanning take out the long silver needle.
He just stared at her and asked, "Sister, can my disease really be cured?"
Lu Wanning slowly inserted the needle into her back and whispered, "If you are cured, what would you most like to do?"
"I'm going to sell vegetables with Daddy." The little girl blinked. "Brother Niu next door said that people always bully Daddy on the street. If I go, I will definitely throw the vegetables in the faces of those who bully him."
Lu Wanning burst out laughing, "That would be a waste of the dishes."
The little girl also laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll pick it up and eat it with Daddy."
What a good child.
Until all the silver needles were inserted into her body, she never cried out in pain.
He even held Lu Wanning's hand when she stood up, "Sister, tell Daddy it doesn't hurt at all, and I'm not afraid."
Lu Wanning nodded and patted her head. "Get some sleep. You'll be fine once the needle is taken out."
When Lu Wanning left, Old Liu was still there. When he saw her come out, he immediately came forward, rubbing his hands and asking mysteriously, "Which acupoints did you insert the silver needles into? I can go in and take a look now, right?"
"No," Lu Wanning shook her finger at him, showing a rare temper. "Master said this acupuncture technique is only passed down to apprentices. If you let Old Liu learn it, Master will think you are his grand-disciple if he finds out."
Mr. Liu: “…”
If you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it. It's petty.
As expected of someone taught by Old Man Luo, he has the same character as him.
Lu Wanning sat down, and the man hurriedly brought tea, a little awkwardly, "We don't have any tea at home, please don't mind, doctor."
She was indeed a little thirsty, so Lu Wanning picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, then lowered her eyes and thought about something.
Old Liu was still unwilling to give up. He walked around in circles, trying to get closer to Lu Wanning. While Hu Yan was tidying up the medicine box, he came closer again.
Fortunately, Yan Er was quick-witted and stepped forward to hand Lu Wanning a handkerchief, "Wipe the sweat off."
Lu Wanning took it casually, and only reacted when the handkerchief touched her forehead. She looked up and thanked Yan Er.
However, she couldn't help but smile when she saw the kitten embroidered on the handkerchief. "I didn't realize Second Master Yan had such a cute handkerchief."
Yan Er said embarrassedly, "This was embroidered by my sister-in-law. Almost everyone in the mansion has one. If you like it, this is a gift for you."
It was indeed embarrassing to return something that had been used, so Lu Wanning accepted it and thanked her, thinking that she would pick out a gift for Yan Shu when her daughter’s full-month celebration came.
Seeing her staring at the kittens, Yan Er seemed quite fond of them. He cleared his throat and said quickly, "They're from home. They just gave birth to a litter a few days ago. If Doctor Lu likes them, I'll bring you two later."
You know what, Lu Wanning was really moved.
With sparkling eyes, she pointed at the little orange cat on the handkerchief and said, "Is that so?"
"This is a mother cat. Her new cubs are not even a month old yet. They should look like this when they grow up."
Yan Er felt a little foolish after saying this and scratched his head. "Then I'll take you back to Spring Hall tomorrow."
Lu Wanning's mouth suddenly opened wide, "Okay, okay."
"Cough cough cough..." Hu Yan started coughing again.
Raising her hand and touching her nose, Lu Wanning calmed down a bit and stood up. "That's enough. I'll go remove the needle."
At this short distance, Hu Yan whispered in her ear like a mosquito, "It's obvious that Yan Er has bad intentions. If the Crown Prince's wife wants cats, ask the Crown Prince to find one for you. You can keep as many as you want."
Lu Wanning made a silent gesture, "We need to be quiet when removing the needle."
Hu Yan fell silent.
But he was obviously still a little wary of Yan Er.
What should they do? It's obvious that Yan Er has bad intentions towards their Crown Prince's Consort, but the Crown Prince's Consort can't reveal her identity and prove that she is married and has a family.
The prince is out all day now, and he doesn't even realize that the foundation of the wall is about to be pried open.
