Seventh cousin?
Doctor Zhou knew Changle. Could the person she called "Seventh Cousin" be...Princess Chen?!
Doctor Zhou couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of what everyone in the capital had said about Princess Chen.
There is no way such a fool could know medical skills!
Thinking of this, Doctor Zhou swept away his panic, straightened his back, and looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Princess Chen, I'm just a doctor at Jirentang. I don't know what you're talking about! If you want to find out, why not go find the owner?"
"Oh?" Qu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "Isn't Doctor Zhou the owner of Jirentang?"
Doctor Zhou's face was filled with astonishment, his eyes were wide open, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were a little lighter.
"Seventh cousin, whether it is true or not, we can send someone to the Ministry of Revenue to ask and we will know!" Changle sneered and turned to look at Meng Zhi, "Why don't you go quickly? Otherwise, he will cry before he sees the coffin!"
Doctor Zhou's breathing stagnated and his face turned pale and blue.
He was indeed the owner of Jirentang, but because he was only obsessed with medicine, he found a shopkeeper to be in charge of the business.
Jirentang has become the largest medical clinic in the capital in recent years. He thought it was because of his superb medical skills, so he focused all his attention on healing and saving lives, and had no idea about the dirty deeds behind Jirentang.
"What's wrong?" Changle walked forward slowly, "Are you mute?"
"Changle County Lady, I am indeed the owner of Jirentang, but I stopped being involved a long time ago!"
"Oh! Do you think we're fools? You flatly denied being the owner of Jirentang before, but when you heard they were going to the Ministry of Revenue to verify, you admitted it again. You're even more quick to fall than a fence-sitter!"
Changle's words were like sharp slaps in the face, slapping Doctor Zhou without any hesitation.
Meng Zhi asked, "County Lady, are you still going to the Ministry of Revenue?"
"You've already admitted it, why are you still going to the Ministry of Revenue? You've caused such a big mess, you should be going to the Ministry of Justice or Jingzhao Prefecture!" Changle folded his arms, his eyes cold and sharp.
Doctor Zhou's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He stammered twice before saying, "I really didn't know what Princess Chen and the County Lady just said! I've been obsessed with medicine all my life, not good at business. I handed everything over to the shopkeeper a long time ago!"
"Quibbling!" Changle threw out two words and said loudly: "Seventh cousin, are you also mute?"
Xiao Xian glanced at her, then glanced at Qu Li's calm face and said to Guangping, "Take him away."
"Wait a moment." Doctor Zhou said firmly, "With acupuncture methods like Princess Chen's, the wife of Duke Dingguo will either never wake up or die instantly!"
These words were like water dropped into a frying pan. After a brief silence, the entire entrance of the private room was boiling with excitement.
Wang An angrily put his hands on his hips and said, "You are a bad grandfather. You actually cursed my grandmother!"
The little maidservant's face was filled with anger as she scolded, "The old lady is kind and loyal, blessed by heaven, and will surely live a life without worries. How vicious of you to curse the old lady like this!"
Changle was so angry that her face turned ashen, and she wished she could slap Doctor Zhou in the face.
"You're just a frog in a well. You have no medical skills, yet you dare to so confidently frame your seventh cousin's wife! Seventh cousin, are you going to let others bully your wife like this?"
Xiao Qi clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed lightly.
Cheng Ruolan had been extremely unlucky before, and it seemed that Doctor Zhou’s good days were completely over.
Xiao Xian: "He has committed a crime, and the Jingzhao Yin will investigate!"
Changle looked at him in disbelief.
How could this seventh cousin say such a thing?
Qu Li glanced at Xiao Xian indifferently.
She really doesn't want him to stand up for her, it would make her feel burdened!
Estimating that the time was almost up, she glared at Doctor Zhou coldly, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist! You think piercing those acupuncture points will kill people, but with me, they can save lives!"
After saying that, she took out the needle.
The wife of Duke Dingguo did not open her eyes for a long time, and Wang An and the little maid were worried.
"Sister Fairy, why hasn't Grandma woken up yet?"
Qu Li reached out and pinched Wang An's face, "It will be quick, just wait a little longer!"
Doctor Zhou scoffed, "Those acupuncture points are simply... well!"
Before he could finish his words, he found himself suddenly mute and unable to make a sound.
Xiao Qi and Changle both turned their heads to look at Xiao Xian, who had a calm expression.
Xiao Xian said calmly, "Too noisy!"
Xiao Qi saw through it but didn't say anything, with a teasing smile on his face.
Brother Seven still couldn't control himself and actually took action!
Qu Li gently patted the wife of Duke Dingguo, "Madam, it's time to wake up."
The wife of Duke Dingguo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Everyone was shocked and started talking loudly.
"My God, is Princess Chen's medical skills so superb?"
"I heard from my husband that the miracle doctor who unveiled the imperial edict and treated the Empress Dowager's headache was actually Princess Chen!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Qu Li with burning eyes and admiration.
"Madam, you must often suffer from insomnia, palpitations, and nightmares, right?"
Meeting Qu Li's clear and clean eyes, Lady Dingguo was stunned for a moment.
"Grandma!" Wang An was overjoyed and threw himself into her arms. He pointed at Doctor Zhou and sobbed, "That wicked grandpa just now actually cursed Grandma to never wake up again!"
Lady Dingguo looked at Doctor Zhou and asked in surprise, "Doctor Zhou?"
Doctor Zhou's face turned pale, he pointed at his mouth, sweat dripping from his anxious face.
The maid helped her up, and then Lady Dingguo asked, "How did Princess Chen know?"
Qu Li asked Meng Zhi to bring paper and pen and wrote a prescription. "If you trust it, Madam, please follow the prescription. If you don't trust it, you can find another doctor to look at the prescription."
Everyone sighed.
Only a fool would not trust someone who could cure the headache that had troubled the Empress Dowager for decades and keep the wife of Duke Dingguo, who was already at risk of a stroke, safe and sound.
Those whose relatives have hidden illnesses want to ask her for help.
The wife of Duke Dingguo hurriedly stood up and thanked him, saying, "Princess Chen is so open-minded and generous. I am ashamed of myself! I will have my maidservant get the medicine for this prescription when I return!"
Seeing her about to bow, Qu Lixu helped her up and said, "Madam, there is no need to do this. Doctors are kind-hearted!"
Duke Dingguo looked at her with a little more kindness in his eyes and stretched out his hand to call Wang An over.
"An'er, you must remember Princess Chen's life-saving grace!"
Wang An nodded heavily, "An'er will keep it in mind!"
Everyone was stunned again.
The family of Duke Dingguo has always been aloof and they don't usually make friends with anyone. Being able to get Wang An to accept their favor means that Princess Chen will have the support of the Duke Dingguo Mansion in the future!
"So many things happened today, I'm really tired, I'll take An'er back first!" said the wife of Duke Dingguo.
"Mengzhi!"
"What are your instructions, Princess?" Meng Zhi smiled, and his eyes, which were not big to begin with, narrowed into slits.
