Feng Ji seemed to understand at first, "Then why did Princess Weiyang ask that question?"
Mu Chenshuang suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked that question; what kind of person Feng Mozhan was had nothing to do with her.
"Nothing, just curious."
Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any more questions.
Feng Ji didn't press further. "Presumably, Princess Weiyang is the one who can cure the Empress Dowager. What are Princess Weiyang's plans?"
"Of course we wouldn't stand by and watch someone die."
On the way back to the Marquis's residence by carriage, Mu Chenshuang went to Tonghe Pharmacy.
As Doctor Li was closing the door, he saw someone coming. Upon closer inspection, he recognized the person alighting from the carriage as the princess from earlier that day.
He quickly stepped forward and respectfully asked, "May I ask what brings the Princess here?"
"Dr. Li, may we go inside and talk?"
Doctor Li hurriedly invited, "Princess, please come in."
Dr. Li brewed a cup of hot tea. Mu Chenshuang looked around. The small pharmacy was fully equipped, and the whole room was filled with the strong aroma of Chinese herbal medicine.
“Doctor Li is an untrained disciple of the Divine Physician School,” Mu Chenshuang suddenly said.
Dr. Li's hand, which was brewing tea, suddenly trembled, and the tea almost spilled onto the back of his hand.
His expression became very uncomfortable, and his trembling gaze turned to Mu Chenshuang, "I wonder why the princess would say such a thing?"
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and slowly said, "Today, Doctor Li knew as soon as he smelled it that it contained the Illusionary Beauty Grass. The Illusionary Beauty Grass is not something that ordinary doctors can come into contact with. Also, Doctor Li, the scar on the back of your right hand must have originally been a mark that people who were expelled from the Divine Doctor Sect would brand."
Although he removed most of it, a small part of the scar remained, which she recognized at a glance.
He was only an outsider and not yet a member of the Divine Physician Sect, but even as an outsider, he was at least qualified to be a royal physician.
"And today I saw you administer acupuncture to a patient, using a unique skill of the Divine Physician Sect: the Plum Blossom Needle."
Mu Chenshuang spoke each word calmly, revealing little emotion.
But Dr. Li was already pale, his eyes were trembling, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
Those who are expelled from the Divine Healer Sect are forbidden from using the sect's medical skills to save lives. If they are discovered, there is only one fate.
For quite a while.
Doctor Li turned with difficulty to look at Mu Chenshuang, “Princess… is a member of the Divine Physician Sect.”
He should have realized that only the spiritual healers of the Divine Physician Sect could have so miraculously cured Miss Xue's face by using spiritual energy.
The Spiritual Physician of the Divine Physician Sect is the highest-ranking member, personally taught by the sect leader, and the next sect leader is also selected from among the Spiritual Physicians.
Mu Chenshuang sat down on the bench with a flick of her sleeve, her slender fingers gripping the teacup on the table. "Don't worry, Dr. Li, I won't do anything to you. Saving lives is a doctor's duty."
The words were spoken.
Doctor Li was slightly stunned and looked at Mu Chenshuang in disbelief.
The Divine Physician Sect has strict rules, and no one is allowed to disobey them.
But hearing her words, he felt a sense of relief.
"I'd really like to know why Doctor Li was expelled from the Divine Physician Sect?" Mu Chenshuang asked.
Dr. Li sighed and said, "It's a long story. I was framed and have no way to defend myself."
"After leaving the Divine Doctor Sect, I worked odd jobs at a local pharmacy under an assumed name to make a living. The original owner of the pharmacy was an old man who had lost his wife and children. I often accompanied him on trips outside the city to provide free medical services. Most of the patients who came here for treatment were ordinary people. He taught me medical skills, and before he left, he told me that I must inherit his mantle. Although I had concerns, I still chose to stay."
He thought to himself that it wouldn't be easy to run into people from the Divine Healer Sect, and as long as he didn't use their special techniques, he wouldn't be discovered.
