Chu Yan turned around and saw her master smiling as she talked to someone. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Master, you two talk first. I'll go and urge the food preparation."
With the food they had ordered, Chu Yan quickly slipped away.
Xu Che then looked at Zhou Quan and Li Mai and quickly introduced them: "It was inconvenient on the road before, so let me introduce you two. This is our good friend, Yun Chang, also known as the famous Prince Yun."
"I believe you have heard about him. The wheelchair we asked you about last time was for him, but we didn't remember how the old craftsman used it. Now that we've seen you, we wanted to ask you. I wonder if you and your wife could tell us a thing or two?" Xu Che humbled himself and spoke to Zhou Quan and Li Mai.
Li Mai and Zhou Quan quickly bowed to Prince Yun, saying, "We, the humble people Zhou Quan and Li Mai, greet Prince Yun."
"Young Master Zhou and Madam Zhou, no need for formalities!" Although Prince Yun had some doubts about their identities, he still maintained the proper manners and demeanor of a prince.
“Young masters, please lift the prince onto the couch over there. I will demonstrate how to use this wheelchair for him,” Zhou Quan said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Che and Cheng Jianghai quickly pushed Prince Yun to the side of the bed and helped him sit up.
Li Mai asked Xu Che in a low voice, "May I take the prince's pulse?"
Xu Che glanced at her in surprise and nodded subconsciously. He hadn't expected that this Madam Zhou would also know medicine.
But she looks very young!
"Your Highness, please forgive me!" Li Mai came over, bent down and pressed her finger on the Prince Yun's pulse point.
She had been listening to storytelling at the teahouse and had a general idea of what was wrong with Prince Yun. Now that she had seen him, she decided to take his pulse. If she could help him, she would naturally do so. After all, it was only because of such a brave and skilled general protecting the country that they could live a peaceful and prosperous life.
Yun Wang's attention was originally on Zhou Quan, but when he heard her talk about offending someone, he noticed that her fingers were placed on her pulse point like a doctor taking a pulse. He looked up at Li Mai in surprise, "Madam Zhou is a doctor?"
Li Mai nodded and hummed in agreement. After taking the pulse, he stepped back a few steps and said respectfully, "This humble one is not very knowledgeable and only knows a little about medicine. This morning I heard some rumors about you at the teahouse and became curious about your illness. Now that we have the opportunity to meet, I thought I would like to take your pulse."
Yun Wang nodded, not holding out much hope for her. Since his injury, he had been examined by dozens of doctors, and every time his leg injury started with hope, it ended in disappointment.
"Your Highness, what do you feel in your waist while sitting like this? Can your toes move? Can you control your urination and defecation?" Li Mai asked.
When Yun Wang heard Li Mai ask, he nodded, “When I sit, my waist feels the same as before, I can feel myself urinating and defecating, and I can move my toes.”
Li Mai nodded. "Would it be convenient for me to feel your bones later?"
Li Mai believes the injury is likely to be to the bones, rather than the meridians and nervous system.
King Yun subconsciously looked at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan was about to sit down and demonstrate, but when he saw Li Mai taking his pulse, he didn't move and waited for Li Mai's pulse diagnosis results.
Seeing Li Mai say she would examine his bones, he looked at her with suspicion, "Little Wheat, do you have a way to treat the prince's legs?"
Li Mai shook her head. "It's not certain yet. We need to feel the bone to see where it is injured. But I think it should be different from your previous situation. You didn't injure any bones, but his situation should be a bone problem."
Zhou Quan nodded, "Yes, I couldn't feel my legs at all before, but Your Highness can feel them. That's the biggest difference, right?"
Yun Wang nodded. "Was Young Master Zhou also unable to walk before?"
Zhou Quan nodded, "Yes, I fell down the mountain and I can't feel my legs, but I can control my urination and defecation."
The worst thing about lower body paralysis is the inability to control urination and defecation, which causes great pain for the paralyzed person.
"Was it your wife who cured you?" A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Yun.
Zhou Quan looked at Li Mai, wondering if they should mention Doctor Niu. Would it bring trouble to Doctor Niu?
Li Mai received his gaze and nodded to Yun Wang, "Yes, but your condition is somewhat different from my husband's. Besides, we spend every day together. In addition to giving him acupuncture, I also massage him frequently so that he can recover faster."
Yun Wang gave a soft "hmm" and nodded. He understood what Li Mai meant; having a doctor by his side would indeed be more convenient.
"Young Master Zhou, you and your husband have arrived in the capital. Are you staying at an inn? Would you like to stay at the Prince Yun's residence for a while?" Xu Che's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan was taken aback. "This...isn't it inconvenient?" He then looked at Li Mai and asked, "What does Madam think?"
Li Mai thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, I also want to see if I can cure the prince's illness, but there are two conditions."
"Please speak, Madam," King Yun asked, staring intently at Li Mai.
"First, Your Highness and the two young masters cannot tell others that I am a doctor, because I do not make a living by practicing medicine, and I do not want to offend people I cannot afford to offend."
"Secondly, if I fail to cure the prince, I hope you will not take our lives or blame us, but allow us to leave the capital safely."
"I only have these two conditions. If Your Highness can fulfill them, then my wife and I can stay at your residence for a few days," Li Mai said, looking at Prince Yun.
After thinking for a moment, Prince Yun understood what she meant. She was just curious about her illness and wanted to try to treat it. Moreover, she didn't want word to spread that she was a doctor. After all, if the high-ranking families and nobles in the capital knew that a female doctor with excellent medical skills had come, they would invite her to see them.
They are ordinary people, and if they want to refuse the invitations extended by high-ranking officials, they might lose their lives. But once they set that precedent, the troubles in the capital will indeed be endless.
"Don't worry, my lady. We can do both of these things. Even if we can't cure you, it doesn't matter. Before you, I have been examined by thirty-eight doctors who felt my pulse and examined my legs. There were also people who felt my bones."
Li Mai was relieved after hearing what Yun Wang said.
Seeing that Li Mai had agreed, Zhou Quan didn't say anything more. He would just stay wherever Xiao Mai lived.
Now, his superpowers make dealing with these ordinary people a piece of cake, and he's confident he can protect his wife.
Afterwards, Zhou Quan sat in his wheelchair and demonstrated all the functions to Yun Wang.
After watching it twice, Yun Wang roughly understood it. He then had Xu Che and Cheng Jianghai carry him over and put him on a chair. He operated the mechanism to rise and fall on his own, finding it very novel and surprising that it had such a function.
Currently, they have only used the function of two wheels rolling. Xu Che suddenly realized what was going on when he saw this.
Yun Wang was very happy with his practice, but there was one problem: he couldn't use his feet to brake properly. Otherwise, he could use his hands to operate the brakes.
