As soon as the Grand Tutor finished speaking, everyone's curious gaze turned towards Xiao Ye.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess just came in together, and apart from a few servants, there didn't seem to be anyone else behind them.
Could it be that the divine physician was dressed too plainly, causing people to mistake him for the prince's servant?
People couldn't help but speculate.
Xiao Ye turned his gaze to Su Liluo and curled his lips, "My Crown Princess is willing to treat the Grand Tutor's eldest son's leg."
What!
She's actually the Crown Princess!
this......
Apart from Xiao Ye and his group, Qin Shuang was the only one present who did not show any surprise.
Grand Tutor Song looked at Xiao Ye nervously, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is of such noble status, are you joking with me?"
He could hardly believe that the divine physician the Crown Prince had spoken of was this Crown Princess.
Although I am not a very gossipy person, I vaguely know that His Highness the Crown Prince's wife is just the legitimate daughter of a sixth-rank official.
Among all the noble ladies in the capital, she was not famous or talented. Although she could tell that Princess Cheng was under a spell at the palace banquet, she was not able to cure her.
I heard that in the end it was this Miss Qin, who was under the command of His Highness the Prince of Chu, who cured Princess Cheng of the curse. In that case, it seems that the Crown Princess's medical skills are nowhere near as good as Miss Qin's!
Is His Highness the Crown Prince playing a trick on him?
Grand Tutor Song guessed to himself.
"Do I look like the kind of person who would joke with the Grand Tutor?"
Xiao Ye looked at Grand Tutor Zhao with a cold expression.
this......
It's obviously not like that.
Seeing Xiao Ye's expression, Grand Tutor Song thought to himself.
This prince is usually taciturn and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, so why would he come to visit this joke?
Grand Tutor Song glanced at the Crown Princess, still somewhat distrustful.
He said tactfully, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I have invited the divine physician Miss Qin, who cured Princess Cheng of the curse, to examine my son's leg. She has proposed a treatment method, which I am still considering."
This means that he is now considering Qin Shuang's method. Qin Shuang is capable of curing the Princess Consort's Gu poison and is more powerful than the Crown Princess.
Su Liluo naturally sensed the Grand Tutor's distrust, but he didn't blame him, after all, he really didn't have any reputation as a divine physician.
So she said, "Oh, then why is Grand Tutor Song still considering it? Is there some danger in the method proposed by Miss Qin? May I see the prescription Miss Qin has given me?"
"That's certainly possible."
Grand Tutor Song had someone deliver Qin Shuang's prescription to Su Liluo.
Qin Shuang kept her eyes on Su Liluo, wanting to see what she would say.
Su Liluo carefully read through the prescription. Based on what she had learned in medicine, she discovered that Qin Shuang's method could indeed cure the legs, but it could also shorten a person's lifespan.
However, whether it will work or not depends on the current situation of the Grand Tutor's eldest son.
"Grand Tutor, Miss Qin's prescription is indeed quite dangerous, but we must also consider your son's condition before making a conclusion. May I take a look at your son?"
Su Liluo said.
The Crown Princess's request was not excessive, so Grand Tutor Zhao naturally did not refuse and had his eldest son pushed out of the room in a wheelchair.
Song Lingshi was thin and melancholy, with a faint air of scholarly pride about him.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort!"
Song Lingshi bowed slightly to Xiao Ye and the others.
"No need for formalities. I will now take your pulse. Please extend your hand, young master."
Su Liluo stepped forward directly, and Song Lingshi was surprised for a moment when he heard that the Crown Princess wanted to take his pulse.
However, seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince did not stop it, and that his own father did not say anything either.
So he obediently stretched out his hands.
He had already heard about his father's doubts in the hall and the argument between the divine physician Qin and the family doctor from his personal servant in his own courtyard.
Actually, he was willing to give it a try.
Just as he was thinking of going out to tell his father that he agreed to Miss Qin's treatment method, the Crown Princess unexpectedly said that she wanted to take his pulse.
Su Liluo first checked his pulse, and then asked him about the condition of his legs.
Finally, he said, "Your leg is indeed in serious condition. Miss Qin's method can help you stand up again, but it will also shorten your lifespan."
“I am willing. I am willing to accept Miss Qin’s method. As long as I can stand up, it doesn’t matter if I live a few years less.”
As soon as Su Liluo finished speaking, Song Lingshi said with certainty.
"Ling Shi, are you really willing?"
Grand Tutor Song looked at his son with a complicated and sorrowful expression.
He certainly hoped his son could stand up, but that would shorten his lifespan...
Thinking of this made his heart ache again.
Su Liluo pursed her lips. "Actually, I also have a way to cure you without shortening your lifespan."
"What? Your Highness, is this for real?"
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Song became excited.
He was so focused on the fact that the Crown Princess could cure his son without harming his lifespan that he completely forgot his earlier concern that the Crown Princess's medical skills were inferior to Qin Shuang's.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuang's eyes narrowed, and she, who had been silent until now, asked, "I wonder if the Crown Princess has any way to cure this without shortening one's lifespan?"
Her method was already the best she knew; what other options did the Crown Princess have?
Her gaze remained fixed on Su Liluo.
Su Liluo naturally sensed the urgency in Qin Shuang's eyes; she knew that this woman cared a lot about her medical skills.
"Using needles to expel the poison, along with the aid of medicine, my master once taught me a powerful acupuncture technique, which I used to cure the Crown Prince's leg."
Su Liluo said frankly.
"Using needles? What kind of needlework can be so powerful? I wonder if the Crown Princess would allow us all to witness it?"
Qin Shuang pressed on with her question.
She had considered using needles to expel the poison, but the needle techniques she knew were insufficient to force out all the toxins; she would still need to use other poisons.
But now that the Crown Princess actually says she can do it, she is indeed very curious about what kind of acupuncture technique she doesn't know.
Su Liluo glanced at her and said, "There's no need for Miss Qin to worry about that."
"....."
Qin Shuang froze, realizing that she had crossed the line.
"Your Highness, can your prescription truly cure my son without any danger?"
Grand Tutor Song asked excitedly.
"Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince is the best example. The poison on your son's leg is not as serious as it was for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Liluo nodded in agreement.
Song Lingshi's legs are indeed much better than Xiao Ye's back then.
Relieved to receive a positive answer, Grand Tutor Song was about to ask Su Liluo to treat his son.
Suddenly, his wife spoke up to stop him, "My lord, the Crown Princess is of noble status. Wouldn't it be rather inconvenient for her to give acupuncture to a man like Ling Shi?"
