Mu Jingshan had been treating the young prince for many years without any improvement. Yet, a cotton candy could make a difference in the young prince. For someone obsessed with medicine like him, even if it seemed a bit unbelievable, he wanted to find out the reason, even if the reason seemed a bit far-fetched. But what if it was true?
Everything in the world is interconnected and interdependent; sometimes, seemingly insignificant things can become the key to solving a problem.
Cai Fanzhou and Lin Wanqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.
The young man seemed oblivious to the intruder, remaining lost in his own world.
Cai Fanzhou could only cough lightly, walk towards the old man, and respectfully bow: "Greetings, Divine Physician Mu."
Mu Jingshan, the physician of the Regent's Palace, is a disciple of the Ghost Physician and is his last disciple. The current emperor once wanted him to join the Imperial Medical Academy, but he refused on the grounds that he was not free in the palace and preferred to stay in the Regent's Palace as a lowly physician.
Even though he was the physician of the palace, with the reputation of being a disciple of the Ghost Doctor, no one dared to underestimate him. Sometimes, even the imperial physicians would consult him on medical techniques.
No matter how aloof Cai Fanzhou was, he dared not be presumptuous in front of Mu Jingshan.
Not only because he was backed by the Regent, but also because, as the Ghost Doctor, even if he met his disciple, he would have to call him Martial Uncle according to the seniority in the martial arts world. Moreover, this Doctor Mu was much older than him.
However, thinking that Mu Jingshan was in the Regent's Palace and that he would have to ask him to treat the young prince, Cai Fanzhou felt a little smug.
So what if someone is older or more senior than him? They're still less capable than him.
When the old man saw Cai Fanzhou bowing to him, he looked surprised and quickly stepped aside to avoid the bow. He pointed to the young man next to him and said, "No, no, you've mistaken me for someone else. This is Doctor Mu."
This time, Cai Fanzhou and Lin Wanqing were surprised. There were rumors that Doctor Mu was a highly skilled doctor, but no one said that Doctor Mu was so young.
In the public's perception, those with superb medical skills should be elderly people with white hair. This young man in front of me looks like he hasn't even grown his hair yet, so how can he be considered a skilled doctor?
Mu Jingshan seemed oblivious to the astonishment in Cai Fanzhou and Lin Wanqing's eyes, and beckoned to them: "Come and see for yourselves, what's so special about this cotton candy?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Fanzhou and Lin Wanqing were even more surprised, but they still walked over to a pile of cotton candy and began to examine it carefully.
No matter how the two looked at it, they could only see that it was just ordinary cotton candy sold in the market, nothing special.
If I had to say something, it would be that the rabbit marshmallow has one blue ear and one red ear, which is... quite unique.
“Dr. Mu…” Cai Fanzhou was about to speak when Mu Jingshan interrupted him, “Don’t call me a doctor. I can’t even see anything special about this cotton candy. I don’t deserve the title of doctor.”
Cai Fanzhou paused for a moment, then changed his form of address and said, “Young Master Mu, although this cotton candy looks very ordinary, as far as I know, there are many colorless and odorless medicinal powders in this world that are mixed into white sugar to make cotton candy, making them difficult to detect. This cotton candy may have been mixed with such medicinal powders.”
Doctors are all proficient in observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. In particular, Cai Fanzhou has mastered the art of observation to a high degree. He can perfectly adapt his approach to the patient's tone and expression, hitting the patient's sore spot precisely.
It can be said that his reputation as a divine healer largely stems from this word "望" (wang, meaning hope/expectation).
In Cai Fanzhou's view, how could a cotton candy that Mu Jingshan studied so carefully be an ordinary product? It must have something special about it. But he couldn't admit that he couldn't see it, because that would mean his medical skills were lacking.
He had no choice but to use this excuse to prove his ability. After all, the powder was colorless and odorless, so no one could tell that he was wrong.
"Oh...I see." Mu Jingshan rested his chin on his left hand as if deep in thought, then stood up, clapped his hands, turned around, and looked at Lin Wanqing: "Miss Lin, what do you think?"
