Chapter 77: Doctor Cui feels he has discovered the truth
Doctor Cui felt very comfortable after hearing this.
Xie Yingmian's words not only acknowledged his medical skills, but also elevated his status.
"The prince's pulse is indeed very strange." Doctor Cui was in a good mood and talked more.
He continued with Xie Yingmian's words,
"In fact, as early as half a year ago, when the prince first fell into a coma, his pulse was not normal."
"At that time, Pei Xun was mainly responsible for the prince's daily diagnosis."
"Later, Pei Xun went to the mountains to look for a herb, so he entrusted the prince to me and asked me to pay special attention to the prince's pulse."
"To be honest, my medical skills are not as good as Pei Xun's. Even though I took the prince's pulse every day, I didn't find many abnormalities. Over time, I forgot about it."
"Until yesterday..." Doctor Cui sighed.
"Actually, Young Master Fu Mo didn't say anything wrong. My medical skills are indeed not very good."
"If my medical skills were more advanced, if I could keep Pei Xun's words in mind and observe him more carefully, perhaps the prince would not have been in danger."
Xie Yingmian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Doctor Cui is truly a man of character.
After she flattered him a little, Doctor Cui treated her as a confidant and opened his heart to her, revealing countless information to her.
This information is vital to her.
She was new to the place, had few people to work with, and knew very little information.
Due to her restricted status, she could only move around in the small house of Danyueyuan for the time being.
The source of all information is Yu Lingye.
Identity, money, connections, etc. also come from Yu Lingye.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Yu Lingye is her "heaven".
This feeling of not being able to control the overall situation made her feel very insecure.
Therefore, she must actively develop her own network of contacts.
Both Wen Juexia and Doctor Cui are good.
They are all fish in her "network pond".
Xie Yingmian comforted him, "Doctor Cui, please don't underestimate yourself."
"The prince's pulse is ever-changing, even the most skilled doctors can't figure it out. This has nothing to do with Imperial Physician Cui's skills, but rather the Du'e Gu in the prince's body."
"Speaking of which...Does Imperial Doctor Cui know that the prince has the Du'e Gu in his body?"
Doctor Cui didn't think much of it and just thought Xie Yingmian was chatting with him.
"I know it, of course." He said ashamedly, "I only heard about the prince's Deliverance Gu from Pei Xun. Before Pei Xun mentioned it, I had never heard of it, and I hadn't even checked it out."
"Including Fu Mo and Fu Feng's silk-binding poison, and Nanny Lin's pea poison, I've never heard of them, so naturally I'm helpless."
Speaking of this, Doctor Cui felt very frustrated.
After all, he is a well-known imperial physician.
Repeated setbacks made him feel like a waste.
Doctor Cui sighed:
"When I was young, I traveled extensively, encountered many rare cases in the Divine Doctor Valley, and also encountered countless poisons in the Poison King Valley."
"I consider myself well-informed."
"But, whether it's the Silk-Wrapping Poison or the Pea Gu, I've never heard of them before."
"It seems I've been in the Imperial Hospital for too long, becoming a frog in a well."
Xie Yingmian remained calm: "According to Imperial Physician Cui, this is what Divine Physician Pei Xun told you?"
Doctor Cui said, "It was discovered by Pei Xun's investigation."
"Where did you find out?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Doctor Cui had never considered this issue.
Generally, when encountering unfamiliar poisons or insects, I would look through various medical books and texts to look for clues and conduct investigations.
As for where Pei Xun went to investigate, he really had no idea.
Doctor Cui shook his head: "I don't know about this."
"You can ask the prince, maybe he knows."
At this point, Doctor Cui suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh right, I wanted to ask this a few days ago."
"Princess, how did you get to know Pea Gu?"
"And about that Fire Crystal Butterfly Scale Powder. I'm particularly curious. How did you manage to find the person who poisoned you by soaking your hands in hot water?"
Doctor Cui felt relieved after finally asking the question that had been bothering him for several days.
His eyes were shining as he waited for Xie Yingmian's answer.
"The Fire Crystal Butterfly Scale Powder is very simple," Xie Yingmian said. "Scale powder is a fine powder, so even if you are very careful, you will still get some contamination."
"My main purpose is not to soak my hands in hot water."
"The scales of the Fire Crystal Butterfly have a very strong thermotropism. They melt when exposed to heat, burn when exposed to fire, and solidify when exposed to cold."
"When the murderer was soaking his hands, he leaned forward, and the steam from the hot water enveloped him. The scale powder on his body melted when it encountered the heat and fell into the hot water basin."
"When the hot water cools quickly, the lin powder solidifies on the water surface like a layer of wax."
"Scale powder is so fine that it might be hard to detect when it falls on the ground, but if it floats on the water, it can be seen with the naked eye."
Doctor Cui suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Xie Yingmian laughed and said, "It's just a trivial trick."
Doctor Cui asked, "What about the pea poison?
Xie Yingmian brought out the same rhetoric she had used to fool Yu Lingye: "This is a long story."
"Ten years ago, I saved an old man."
"To thank me, the old man taught me about some strange insects."
Xie Yingmian sighed, "Doctor Cui, I'm not going to hide the truth."
"The reason I asked a few more questions is because the old man taught me things like Pea Gu and Destruction Gu."
"After he disappeared, I never heard anyone talk about these things again."
"These things appear, and I suspect that the old man might have returned. I haven't seen him for ten years. If I can find him, I'd like to meet him."
Doctor Cui’s eyes widened.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly he clapped his hands loudly.
"Princess Princess, are you, are you not the disciple of the Gu Saint?"
Xie Yingmian was confused: "Who is the Gu Saint?"
Doctor Cui looked at Xie Yingmian's bewildered expression and immediately had countless thoughts in his mind.
He vaguely remembered that there had been a bloody storm in the martial arts world ten years ago.
The Gu Saint was also seriously injured in that martial arts dispute.
After the storm subsided, the Gu Saint disappeared without a trace, and no one in the world knew where he had gone.
It seems that in order to protect the princess, the Gu Sage only passed on his mantle to the princess, but did not tell the princess about his own life experience.
Doctor Cui felt that he had discovered the truth.
He accidentally witnessed history and said excitedly, "If I'm not mistaken, the old man who taught you about insects back then was the Gu Sage."
"Princess, you just said that you learned some medical skills at Zhuangzi?"
"Excuse me, did you learn your medical skills from that person?"
Xie Yingmian was confused: "Yes."
"The old man not only taught me about insects, but also told me that many insects are poisonous and asked me to identify the different poisons. He also said that if I accidentally got poisoned, I had to learn how to detoxify."
"Later, he said he was afraid I would die of illness, so he taught me some medical skills."
Doctor Cui sighed, "It can't be wrong."
"The Gu Saint is not only skilled in Gu insects, but also in poison making and strange medical techniques."
"The old man who taught you these skills back then was the legendary Gu Sage."
Xie Yingmian was stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"This, can't be true?"
"How could that sloppy old man be a Gu Sage?"
