The news that Chen's Medical Clinic was offering free treatment for leg ailments to impoverished families quickly spread throughout the capital.
Huichuntang was located opposite Chen's Medical Clinic and was among the first to hear the news.
Chu Yimeng was examining Ouyang Xi's leg when, not far away, the clinic's waiters were discussing the matter.
"Isn't the Chen Family Medical Clinic being a bit too arrogant? If they fail to cure even one of their leg ailments, the Chen Family Medical Clinic's reputation will be ruined by the Princess Consort."
"But regardless of whether he can cure them or not, it is really wonderful that he provides free medical treatment to poor families. Regardless of the true medical skills of the Princess Consort, he certainly has a great heart."
"Princess Li's medical skills are superb! You know He San, right? His leg was broken on the battlefield, and he was completely healed after only half a month of treatment at Chen's Medical Clinic. He looks just like someone who was never injured! Yesterday, when Princess Li returned to Chen's Medical Clinic to practice medicine, He San even came over to kowtow to her! Because he was a wounded soldier who had been on the battlefield, Chen's Medical Clinic didn't charge him a single penny."
"I'm not worried that Princess Li will be unable to cure the patient's leg ailment. What I'm worried about is whether Chen's Medical Clinic can afford such high medical expenses."
Who knows?
...
The waiter's conversation continued, but Chu Yimeng pretended not to hear anything, appearing calm on the surface, though inwardly she scoffed at the Chen family's medical clinic's claim that it could cure all leg ailments.
In her previous life, she was a clinical medicine student in modern times. Even in this technologically advanced era, humans still cannot cure paralysis.
Chen Fubai actually claimed he could cure all leg ailments—was he joking?
She was just waiting to see the Chen family's medical clinic make a fool of itself.
Chu Yi dreamed of inserting a needle into Ouyang Xi's leg.
She didn't actually know anything about acupuncture points; the needle pricks were just a cover.
She has a secret: she has a luck detection system.
This system cannot communicate with her, but it can help her see a person's luck value.
Take Ouyang Xi, for example. The aura above his head is very bright and dazzling.
Besides detecting a person's luck value, this luck detection system has another incredible function—it can access a person's luck through the system and then apply it to that person.
In short, it means using the other person's luck to cure their illness.
After the illness is cured, the other person's luck will become increasingly prosperous.
Once again channeling her own energy into Ouyang Xi's legs, Chu Yimeng clapped her hands, stood up, and asked Ouyang Xi gently, "Young Master Ouyang, how do you feel?"
Ouyang Xi's eyes lit up, and she said with undisguised delight, "My legs feel numb."
Since becoming paralyzed, Ouyang Xi had lost all feeling in his legs, but after Chu Yimeng treated him, he finally regained feeling in his legs.
Although it was only a slight tingling and itching sensation, it felt like a rebirth to him.
Chu Yimeng was happy for Ouyang Xi: "It's good that you have feelings for each other."
“Shuyan,” Ouyang Xi called over his servant, took the silver notes from the servant, and handed them to Chu Yimeng with both hands, saying gratefully, “Doctor Chu, this is the payment for this consultation.”
Chu Yimeng didn't stand on ceremony with Ouyang Xi and readily accepted the consultation fee.
He added, "Remember to come back for a follow-up examination three days from now, Young Master Ouyang."
Ouyang Xi nodded and had Shuyan push him away.
When they arrived at the entrance of Huichuntang, Shuyan asked in a low voice, "Young Master, Princess Li has returned to her office. Why don't you go and have her take a look? Princess Li was able to cure He San's leg, so maybe she can too."
Ouyang Xi shook his head: "I shouldn't bother two people with one thing. Since I've already had Doctor Chu treat my leg and it's been effective, it would be disrespectful to both Doctor Chu and Princess Li if I rashly went to see Princess Li again."
Shuyan gave an "Oh" that sounded like she understood but didn't quite.
Ouyang Xi smiled gently, his eyes warm: "Go to Chen's Medical Clinic now and donate one thousand taels of silver to it. The Prince and Princess are thinking of the people, and we should do our part too."
Shuyan said, "Young Master is very kind!"
After praising his young master, Shuyan took a thousand taels of silver and went to Chen's Medical Clinic.
He didn't bother with the clinic's waiter, but went directly to Fu Bai and respectfully handed over a thousand taels of silver.
“Your Highness, my young master heard that you are willing to treat the poor and needy, so he sent me here to donate money to the people. It is my way of doing my part for them. I hope Your Highness will not find it offensive.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Bai looked at him, took the silver note from Shu Yan, and then took out paper and pen: "Your young master is very kind. May I reveal your young master's name? I plan to erect a monument at the entrance of the clinic to express my gratitude."
Shuyan immediately introduced himself happily: "My young master is the eldest son of the Marquis of Changting, Ouyang Xi."
"The Marquis of Changting's residence?" Fu Bai wrote down Ouyang Xi's name, then looked as if he had just realized something. "Is Young Master Ouyang's leg better now?"
Shu Yan spoke frankly: "Young Master found a doctor to take care of him, and he's starting to feel better now."
Unexpectedly, Fu Bai frowned after hearing this.
Seeing Fu Bai's expression, Shu Yan's heart skipped a beat: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
Fu Bai: "Where is your young master now? I want to see his legs."
Shuyan preferred that Fubai treat his young master, so without thinking, he turned around and went to find Ouyang Xi.
Not long after, Shuyan pushed Ouyang Xi in.
He refused Fu Bai's offer, not because he didn't trust Fu Bai, but because he had already accepted Chu Yimeng's treatment and couldn't trouble Fu Bai any further.
Ouyang Xi's leg is his own, and it's his freedom to decide who treats it; Fu Bai doesn't care.
Just then, 748's voice came from Fu Bai's sea of consciousness.
[Fu Baibai, I just scanned Ouyang Xi's body and found that the main reason he can't stand up isn't the fall, but poisoning!]
Furthermore, I detected a residual energy on him, which, after analysis, turned out to be his own destiny.
[Now, while his own vital energy is healing the injuries to his legs and lumbar spine, it is also being absorbed by the toxins lurking within his body!]
This is the objective information provided after 748 scanned Ouyang Xi's body.
Fu Bai, however, saw quite a lot in these messages.
He asked 748, "In the original storyline, is Ouyang Xi inseparable from Chu Yimeng?"
748 has already completely over-analyzed the original plot.
Upon hearing Fu Bai's question, he quickly provided an answer.
[It seems that's really the case. In the original storyline, he would go to see Chu Yimeng every two weeks, but the specifics of what he did weren't written in the original storyline of this small world.]
Fu Bai raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "I understand."
After ending his conversation with 748, Fu Bai turned to Ouyang Xi and said confidently, "Young Master Ouyang, do you believe that no one but me can completely cure your legs?"
