Chapter 542 Why don't you just rob it?
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard this: "If Your Highness can't learn it, then I'll have to do it myself. The way of acupuncture is that the vital energy is only available for a single breath, and it disappears in an instant. Your Highness wouldn't make me wait for you, would you? That would only delay the Princess's health. Your Highness, you should take it seriously and watch the baby carefully."
Jiang Nuanzhi's impolite words echoed in the room, startling the advisor beside her, who broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to lift his head, staring intently at Jiang Nuanzhi's hands.
I wonder where this lady came from, how dare she speak to the prince like that?
Don't let them all be dragged down with her.
With a loud bang, Xiao Yuanshan slammed the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at him, pretended not to hear, and continued to administer acupuncture to Qin Lin.
"Qin Lin, calm down."
Seeing Qin Lin's distracted state, as if he were worried about Xiao Yuanshan, he coldly reminded him.
Qin Lin glanced apologetically at Jiang Nuanzhi in a daze, then followed Jiang Nuanzhi's guidance to take deep breaths and calm himself down.
In fact, Jiang Nuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. This kind of acupuncture technique was exactly what she wanted Xiao Yuanshan to be unable to learn.
When Jiang Nuanzhi was teaching Doctor Que before, she didn't use such fast acupuncture techniques. Now that she's teaching Xiao Yuanshan, if he really understands how to treat patients, how can she save her own life?
Furthermore, Qin Lin's illness is actually much more serious than Li Mingyu's. She couldn't guarantee whether Qin Lin's body could be cured, but since she had already come this far, she had to give it a try.
The entire acupuncture treatment to relax muscles and improve blood circulation has been completed.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the Regent Prince beside her.
"Your Highness, please see clearly: first like this, then like this, and finally like this, and then it will be done. Later, you can give the Princess acupuncture in this way, but you can omit one set of the acupuncture technique on the upper back in the middle."
Xiao Yuanshan only saw a pale white hand waving twice in front of him. And then, nothing more.
His face suddenly turned terribly gloomy.
He finally stepped forward and placed his fingers on Qin Lin's pulse. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Jiang Nuanzhi in disbelief.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "Well, Your Highness, do you believe me now that I didn't lie to you?"
Unconvinced, Xiao Yuanshan placed his fingers on Qin Lin's wrist again. The previously blocked pulse now showed a faint flow of energy, however small. But Xiao Yuanshan was certain he was not mistaken.
He straightened up, and when he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi again, his eyes flickered, as if he were deep in thought.
Dongzang and the others became even more vigilant, almost surrounding and protecting Jiang Nuanzhi and Qin Lin.
Jiang Nuanzhi patted Dongzang's shoulder reassuringly, then stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yuanshan.
"If Your Highness hasn't learned this acupuncture technique yet, I can teach you later. After all, there are still three months until the Princess Consort's treatment. Your Highness can learn slowly. However, to be honest, I know roughly dozens of sets of this acupuncture technique. Even a single acupoint can have vastly different effects. In addition, the blood exchange method is also somewhat special."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xiao Yuanshan asked impatiently.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "What I mean is that Your Highness can observe me every time I perform acupuncture, and also when I perform blood transfusions. However, the silver must be paid. Your Highness can't expect me to teach you acupuncture techniques for free, can you?"
Xiao Yuanshan was so angry at these words that he laughed: "Do you think my Regent's Palace would be short of such a small amount of money?"
"The more the better. I want ten thousand taels of gold."
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "I suppose the Regent's Palace wouldn't be short of such a small amount of money, would it?"
Xiao Yuanshan gritted his teeth: "Why don't you just rob it?"
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Such a large Regent's Palace, surely they wouldn't be stingy with ten thousand taels of gold for the Princess's treatment?"
Jiang Nuanzhi had learned from experience. She had previously only asked the Emperor of the Great Wilderness for five hundred taels of silver, a mistake that would haunt her for life! She would never make the same mistake twice!
Xiao Yuanshan took a deep breath: "Don't force me to kill you."
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked twice: "But..."
"If you cure the princess and the prince, I will give you ten thousand taels of gold."
As Xiao Yuanshan spoke, his gaze lingered on Jiang Nuanzhi's delicate neck. He then rubbed his fist together, his face darkening.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked: "No, His Majesty should know that Your Highness invited me to make a diagnosis today. And for making a diagnosis, there must be a consultation fee."
"Someone, go and fetch her a hundred taels of gold."
Xiao Yuanshan only realized today that he actually had such a good temper.
"Your Highness, that..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuanshan frowned and roared, "If you dare to say another word, I will poison your throat and make you mute. Anyway, even a mute can administer acupuncture."
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately shut her mouth. She'd known how to be flexible and adaptable since she was a child.
"The princess's preparations are complete. You may come with me."
Xiao Yuanshan frowned and said, "I will be watching you. If you dare to have any wicked thoughts, I will snap your neck."
As he spoke, Xiao Yuanshan heard no sound for a long time. He squinted and turned around, only to see Jiang Nuanzhi acting as if she hadn't heard him, with her head down writing something.
At this moment, the official stepped forward from behind: "Your Highness, does the lady need medicine? Is it the same as this general's?"
Xiao Yuanshan frowned and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi again.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked, looked up, and pointed to her nose.
Xiao Yuanshan: "Are you deaf when I talk to you?"
Jiang Nuanzhi pointed to her mouth, then to Xiao Yuanshan.
The meaning is obvious—you told me not to say it.
Xiao Yuanshan gritted his teeth: "If you don't speak, I'll cut your mouth off."
"Tsk, Your Highness, you're really hard to please." Jiang Nuanzhi said, speechless.
He then handed a prescription to the steward: "Isn't this the Princess's prescription? Steward, just prepare the medicine according to this."
Xiao Yuanshan had now figured out some of the patterns and vaguely felt that getting angry with this kind of person would really drive him crazy, so he simply turned his sleeves and left.
Upon exiting the door and seeing Jiang Nuanzhi still inside, Xiao Yuanshan narrowed his eyes: "Go and administer acupuncture to the Princess! Are you deaf?"
"Your Highness, I have another request."
Xiao Yuanshan's anger, which he had just suppressed, flared up again: "Spit it out if you have something to say."
"Can he come home with me?" Jiang Nuanzhi asked, pointing her slender finger at Qin Lin.
"Heh," Xiao Yuanshan chuckled coldly in a daze.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled in return.
The next second, Xiao Yuanshan's smile vanished abruptly: "No."
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately stopped smiling: "If you can't, then you can't. But please, Your Highness, take a little care. Give General Qin some good food and clothes. If the guests you invite to your residence are settled like this, people who don't know better will think that Your Highness's residence is very shabby."
"Jiang Nuanzhi, have I given you the time of day?"
Jiang Nuanzhi laughed: "Look, why are you getting angry again? At your age, you shouldn't get so angry. It's bad for your health."
"Jiang! Nuan! Zhi!"
Jiang Nuanzhi still smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's settle this once and for all. If you take good care of General Qin for me, I will naturally pay more attention to your wife's illness and the young master's health. As a physician, Your Highness should know the difference between using full force and using eight-tenths of your strength in treating an illness, right?"
Xiao Yuanshan finally flicked his sleeves, turned around, and went out the door.
Seeing the person leave, Jiang Nuanzhi was overjoyed and instructed the steward beside her, "Your prince has agreed. Take good care of General Qin, and choose the best for his food, clothing and other necessities."
