Princess Nanyang was dressed in a long black robe that covered her completely, revealing only a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes.
Upon seeing Shen Muxun, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. She hadn't even had a chance to settle accounts with the Marquis of Chengen's mansion for what happened last time.
If Shen Muxun can't cure her face today, this matter is far from over.
Princess Nanyang stood in front of Shen Muxun with her chin held high, looking down on him with an air of superiority. This made Shen Muxun subconsciously frown, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
But this wasn't the time for him to dwell on it. Suppressing a slight displeasure, Shen Muxun parted his lips slightly and asked, "Miss, would it be convenient for me to take your pulse?"
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. The young woman in front of him was wrapped up too tightly, so he couldn't immediately discern the cause of her illness.
Without taking a pulse and observing the patient, it would be difficult to prescribe the right medicine.
Princess Nanyang snorted and stretched out her hand, wanting to see if Shen Muxun really had any skills.
All the onlookers saw was a dazzlingly white, delicate hand emerging from the black robe, the wrist so slender it seemed as if it could be broken with a single pinch.
Everyone's attention was focused on Princess Nanyang's wrist, or more precisely, on the hand with which Shen Muxun was taking her pulse.
With her delicate and fair skin, she looked like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family. I wonder what illness she has that makes her afraid to show her true face.
Shen Muxun's brows furrowed and relaxed repeatedly for a while, which aroused great curiosity among the onlookers.
The woman's symptoms were truly strange. Her pulse would become erratic at times, but when he tried to examine it closely, it would return to normal and even beat stronger than before. This was the first time he had ever seen such a situation.
Princess Nanyang, who was never very patient, pulled her hand back abruptly. "What exactly have you figured out?"
She wasn't afraid that Shen Muxun would find out about the beauty's blood, since very few people knew about this forbidden technique that had been lost for many years, and no one would make that connection.
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Muxun slowly spoke, "Miss's symptoms seem somewhat like poisoning."
He paused, and before Princess Nanyang could speak, he continued, "Is your face covered with red rashes and broken capillaries, young lady?"
"You can cure it?" Upon hearing this, the haughty Princess Nanyang sat up straight, showing some interest. Shen Muxun's description of her symptoms was spot on.
“I am willing to give it a try.” Shen Muxun nodded. Although the poison was troublesome, it was not incurable.
His master made this special arrangement so that he could win today's match. Although he didn't quite agree with it, he didn't want to disappoint his master.
Well then, once he becomes the next head of the hall, he will definitely devote himself even more to studying medicine, strive for higher attainments, and live up to his master's expectations.
As his thoughts raced, Shen Muxun's face relaxed. Although he didn't know much about poisons, he did know the specific methods of detoxification.
Princess Nanyang didn't want others to see her disfigured face, so she made her demands in a firm tone.
Because of her status, the manager of Huishengtang had no choice but to take her behind a screen, leaving only a few blurry outlines for everyone to see.
Song Zhiyu leisurely sipped her tea, one cup after another, showing little interest in Shen Muxun's methods for treating Princess Nanyang.
The problem was diagnosed incorrectly from the beginning, so no matter what treatment was given, it couldn't be cured.
Just as she expected, the next moment, a woman's piercing scream came from behind the screen, startling everyone present.
"My face, my face hurts so much!"
Upon hearing this wail, the elder of Huisheng Hall's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to investigate the situation.
Seeing this, others also crowded behind the screen, some worried, some curious, and some eager to see a good show.
But what they saw made them gasp involuntarily.
Blood was slowly flowing from Princess Nanyang's face, which was originally covered with red veins, making her look even more terrifying, especially with her wide-eyed and ferocious expression.
"What did you do?" The elder pulled up Shen Muxun, who was standing there stunned, and questioned him in a low voice.
"Master, I don't know why this happened either. My treatment method is not wrong." Shen Muxun said with a sullen face, his dark eyes fixed on Princess Nanyang's face. He was also puzzled by this unexpected event.
Even though the medication and treatment were correct, why did her symptoms worsen?
"Shen Muxun, this princess is going to kill you!" Princess Nanyang was filled with remorse and no longer cared about the occasion. She roared that she wanted to skin him alive.
She actually believed in the medical skills of a doctor who had been studying at Huishengtang for many years and was well into his twenties.
The elder quickly tried to smooth things over, "Princess, please calm down and give Mu Xun another chance. He will definitely have a way to cure you."
Now, the only way for Shen Muxun to resolve this matter is to cure Princess Nanyang.
Otherwise, not only would Shen Muxun's reputation be damaged, but their Huishengtang would also be questioned by the public.
Seeing this, Liang Yue spoke up at the right time, seizing the opportunity to gain some favor, "Princess, the elder is right. The symptoms on your face are caused by toxins in your body. As long as the toxins are drawn out, your face will definitely return to normal."
The treatment Dr. Shen used for you just now was rather conservative, which is why you experienced symptoms of incomplete toxin elimination. Do you feel much better now?
Upon hearing this, Princess Nanyang calmed down; she did indeed feel much better.
If that's the case, she wouldn't mind giving Shen Muxun another chance.
Shen Muxun cast a grateful glance at Liang Yue. Their thoughts were in sync, and their doubts about her had vanished.
Even the elders of Huisheng Hall looked at Liang Yue with great admiration, which further strengthened their resolve to befriend her.
Liang Yue smiled reservedly. She had just read about the poison in Princess Nanyang's body in a medical book, which was why she dared to speak so confidently.
These words immediately won him a wave of praise.
"As expected of Liangyue, the divine doctor who became famous at a young age, his reputation is well-deserved."
"Divine Physician Liangyue, I've been having nightmares lately, could you please take a look?"
"..."
Faced with everyone's questions, a hint of impatience flashed deep in Liang Yue's eyes, but she still smiled and answered one question after another in a soft voice.
On the other side, Lu Bai tilted her head. She watched as the red marks on Princess Nanyang's hand changed from a small dot to a dense, large patch. She couldn't help but ask, "Miss, I feel like something's not right."
The red marks on Princess Nanyang's hands seem to be getting worse. Is the Second Young Master's treatment really effective?
As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent, creating an eerie and somewhat frightening atmosphere.
Liang Yue's lips drooped. She had just confirmed Shen Muxun's treatment method when Song Zhiyu came out to undermine her, clearly trying to make things difficult for her.
