Chapter 79: Please accept me as your disciple, Princess
Doctor Cui was in a very good mood.
He stroked his beard and said, "When I'm on my day off, I can go to the Princess's clinic for free consultation."
"I don't want any money. A meal will be enough for you, Princess."
"It's great that Doctor Cui is willing to come and see me." Xie Yingmian expressed his sincere gratitude.
She opened a clinic, and treating ordinary people was secondary.
Her real purpose is to build her own network of influence through the clinic.
This gave her the confidence to leave Prince Ling's Mansion and not cling to anyone else.
With the help of an expert like Doctor Cui, she can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Doctor Cui, I won't let you help me for nothing." Xie Yingmian said,
"I will take the time to record the information I know about the methods of detoxification and antidote and give it to Imperial Doctor Cui. I hope Imperial Doctor Cui will accept it."
Doctor Cui was shocked: "Princess, what are you talking about?"
"Are you going to... teach me the Gu Saint's Gu and poison techniques?"
"No, no."
"This is absolutely unacceptable."
Xie Yingmian was puzzled: "Why not?"
Doctor Cui waved his hand and said, "These things cannot be passed on to others."
"Doctor Cui, don't feel any psychological burden. The old man didn't tell me not to spread it." Xie Yingmian said with a smile.
"If I teach this to Imperial Doctor Cui, he will be able to quickly save people if he encounters similar symptoms."
"If Imperial Physician Cui teaches these to other doctors, and other doctors teach them to other doctors, and if they pass them on, they can save many more lives, and that can be considered a good deed."
Doctor Cui still shook his head and waved his hands: "That's the truth."
"but……"
"I'm not exaggerating. The Gu Saint's status is special. If his abilities were to be easily spread, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble."
Xie Yingmian: "Why?"
Imperial Physician Cui patiently explained, "Your Highness Princess may not be aware of the name of the Gu Saint."
"The Gu Saint's secret technique has always been coveted by many."
"The princess is in Prince Ling's mansion, and with the protection of Prince Ling's mansion, those villains wouldn't dare to make plans against her."
"Therefore, for the princess, the Gu Saint's secret technique is the icing on the cake."
"For ordinary people, even if a person is innocent, he will be guilty of possessing a treasure. The secret technique of the Gu Saint may bring about a catastrophic disaster."
Xie Yingmian said in a faint voice: "I don't think so."
She had considered this when she decided to use the title of Gu Saint Disciple.
The title of Gu Saint is useful, but it will also bring a lot of trouble.
The identity of Princess Ling does not make her absolutely safe.
If you want to avoid these troubles, the simplest and clearest way is to engage in internal competition.
"Doctor Cui, how about I tell you a story?"
"Suppose Li Da and Zhang San are enemies, they are sworn enemies, and both want to kill each other."
"But Li Da and Zhang San's kung fu are about the same, neither can kill the other."
"Li Da wanted to kill Zhang San so badly that he spent all his money to buy a manual on magical skills. However, to practice the skills, one must first cut off one of his arms."
"In order to defeat his enemies, Li Da endured the pain of losing his arm and finally mastered the magic skills."
"Zhang San was so frightened that he hurriedly bought a secret book on how to suppress magical powers."
"As a result, neither Li Da nor Zhang San could kill the other. Not only did Li Da lose everything he had, but he also lost an arm, leaving him crippled."
Doctor Cui was stunned when he heard this.
He seemed to understand what Xie Yingmian meant.
"You mean to make the Gu Saint's secret technique something readily available? When it's no longer rare, people won't fight over it. Once these people master the technique, others will learn it as well."
Xie Yingmian: "Yes and no."
"What Imperial Doctor Cui is talking about is the secret technique of the Gu Saint."
"What I want to give you is only the method of removing poison and detoxification. These are completely different concepts."
"Just like Li Da and Zhang San in the story, Li Da went through great lengths to obtain the secret manual of the magical skill, even cutting off one of his own arms to cultivate it, while Zhang San easily obtained the method to conquer the magical skill."
"If Mr. Li knew this in advance, would he still spend all his money looking for the secret manual?"
Doctor Cui suddenly realized.
He completely understood what Xie Yingmian meant.
Xie Yingmian's intention should be to write down everything he knew about poisons and insects, as well as their solutions, in a letter and spread it out.
The notebook is just a notebook and does not involve any secret techniques such as how to cast a spell or make poison.
To put it bluntly, the princess gave a direct answer.
Imagine that someone desperately snatched a secret technique, practiced it, and used it to cast a curse on his enemy. The enemy then easily found the answer and untied the curse.
Then, what’s the use of the secret technique that I fought so hard to get?
Now that the secret technique is no longer useful, naturally no one will fight for it.
This is equivalent to solving the problem directly at its root.
Imperial Physician Cui was full of admiration.
"The princess is very thoughtful. This move is truly brilliant, truly brilliant."
"However, if this happens, the Gu Saint's secret techniques will be useless. If everyone can find the antidote, the Gu Saint's Gu and poison techniques will lose their deterrent power."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Xie Yingmian said.
"I don't know what happened to the old man ten years ago, but I could sense during my time with him that his pursuit wasn't about the secret art of Gu insects, but about a higher level of realm."
Xie Yingmian sighed:
"I was young at the time and didn't understand what the old man was pursuing."
“When I was at Zhuangzi, I didn’t come into contact with many patients, and I didn’t understand it.”
"After coming to Prince Ling's Mansion and experiencing so many things, I suddenly had a flash of enlightenment."
"I remember when the old man was teaching me medicine, he angrily denounced the famous doctors of the time as those who were only seeking fame and reputation. He said they were complacent, arrogant, and had a narrow view of the world. They didn't know how to study and share, and they only knew how to fight and kill."
"He was heartbroken when he said that."
"I think the realm the old man wants to pursue is not his secret technique, but how to carry forward the secret technique, how to reach a higher level, and how to reach a new realm."
"These are too empty to say."
"My own understanding is that doctors should share their knowledge and experience with each other, learn from each other's strengths and overcome their weaknesses, and help those who come after them avoid detours. The essence of a doctor is to save lives and heal the wounded, nothing more."
Doctor Cui was shocked.
Xie Yingmian's words struck his heart like a thunderbolt.
He suddenly remembered his original intention when he decided to study medicine.
His original intention was to cure diseases and save lives.
Later, under the influence of the secular world, his original intention gradually changed.
"I am narrow-minded."
"I was swept up in the secular world and forgot my original intention."
"Princess, your words have enlightened me."
Imperial Physician Cui bowed deeply to Xie Yingmian, "Princess, please accept Cui Yi's greetings."
"Please get up quickly, Doctor Cui." Xie Yingmian gave him a light support.
Doctor Cui shook his head and said, "Princess, I will stop being shy. I really want this information."
As a doctor, if he is lucky enough to get one, he will die without regrets.
The princess was so generous as to give him these materials, but he couldn't take them for free.
"I, Cui Yi, would like to take the princess as my teacher."
"Please accept me as your disciple, Princess."
