Chapter 161: Can't Succeed
"Your Highness, the Night King, I am about to give you an acupuncture injection. Please do not move your head, or I may accidentally hurt you."
Luo Junhe pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I understand. Doctor Zhu, please give me the acupuncture!"
Doctor Zhu responded, and this time he had an idea. Thinking that Luo Junhe couldn't see anyway, he deliberately changed the silver needle to the longest and thickest one.
Planning to succeed in one strike!
He held the silver needle and slowly moved it closer and closer to Luo Junhe's neck. His whole body was shaking with excitement.
Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to stab, Doctor Zhu suddenly screamed in pain, "Ah!"
When he looked down, he found that the silver needle was actually stuck on the back of his hand, and the tip of the needle on one side had pierced through the entire palm.
Doctor Zhu's forehead was covered with cold sweat due to the pain. He couldn't understand what was going on. Why did the silver needle he was using to prick Luo Junhe end up stabbing himself?
But Luo Junhe seemed not to have heard the scream and was adding fuel to the fire.
"Doctor Zhu, what's wrong with you? Have you finished acupuncture for me? Why don't I feel any pain at all? I think Doctor Zhu's medical skills must be getting better and better!"
"It is a blessing for Dongchen State and the Imperial Hospital to have a doctor with such superb medical skills as you."
Doctor Zhu: "..."
He wanted to say that he hadn't given him acupuncture yet, but Luo Junhe had already put a high hat on his head.
People were obviously praising him. If he said at this time that he had not given him the injection yet, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?
Doctor Zhu can't afford to lose this person.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, and said with a bit of flattery: "Your Highness Ye Wang, you are too kind. Treating illnesses and saving lives is my job. I am just doing my job. It is not a blessing."
"We in Dongchen are truly blessed to have a war hero like His Majesty the Night King who protects our country."
Luo Junhe thought he was talking nonsense and laughed mockingly. Doctor Zhu clearly did not perform any acupuncture, but he did not refute it either. So was he admitting that his medical skills were excellent?
That’s right, if he doesn’t admit it, he wouldn’t be Doctor Zhu.
Seeing that his first plan failed, Doctor Zhu prepared a second plan.
He took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out a black pill from it.
He was like a profiteer who used candy to trick children, and he patiently said to Luo Junhe:
"I just took the pulse of His Highness the Night King and found that his body was bleeding suddenly, his Qi was insufficient, and his Yang was weak and his Qi was weak. He was really seriously ill. I think it was because he changed to an ordinary bed and lost the suppression of the ice stone bed. The fire poison penetrated into his heart and lungs. If it is not stopped, I am afraid his life will be in danger!"
"It just so happens that I have a Jinwu Pill here. I spent 49 days refining it in the Imperial Hospital using ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Qianshan snow lotus and more than a dozen other precious medicinal materials. I have finally made this pill. I guarantee that after Your Highness eats it, your Qi and blood will be replenished within three days, and your complexion will be radiant."
Luo Junhe's face looked uncertain, but he was sneering in his heart.
Radiant?
He thought it was just a last gasp.
If this thing was really as good as he said, he would never give it to him even if he wanted to please Emperor Jingyang.
When has Doctor Zhu ever been so generous?
Luo Junhe knew there was a trap here. His dim eyes flashed, he coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Doctor Zhu is very thoughtful. I also feel that I have been very weak recently. If I feel better, I will definitely reward you handsomely one day."
Doctor Zhu rolled his eyes in disdain. He didn't take Luo Junhe's words to heart at all.
The Ye Palace can't even afford the newly arrived spring tea. How poor are they? Can Luo Junhe still thank him handsomely?
Even if he wants to thank me, he has to have something presentable!
Doctor Zhu thought Luo Junhe was blind, rolled his eyes self-righteously, and then put the pill in his hand to the corner of his mouth.
"Come, Your Highness, I will feed you the medicine."
There was a flash of viciousness in Luo Junhe's black eyes. He looked at the smelly black pill that Doctor Zhu fed to his mouth, sneered in his heart, opened his lips, and spat a mouthful of blood on the pill.
Doctor Zhu: "..."
Doctor Zhu: "!!!"
Doctor Zhu, whose hand was covered in blood, instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
That wasn’t all. He looked down and saw that the pill in his palm was also sprayed with red blood.
And he only prepared this pill.
Will Luo Junhe still eat it if it’s stained with blood?
Doctor Zhu didn’t know.
He felt that this thing should not be wasted, and decided to feed Luo Junhe again. Anyway, he couldn't see any blood on the pill.
At this moment, blood was still flowing from the corner of Luo Junhe's mouth.
Doctor Zhu looked around the room, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth perfunctorily.
"Oh, Your Highness the Night King, look at how sick you are. You're spitting out blood like it's free."
"If you don't take the medicine now, it will be too late. Open your mouth quickly and I will feed you the medicine."
Luo Junhe neither moved nor opened his mouth, but at this moment, the door outside was suddenly pushed open, and Ji Yuntang flashed in, snatched the pill from his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said with disgust:
"Doctor Zhu, why does your pill smell like shit? Are you trying to trick my prince into eating shit?"
Doctor Zhu: "!!!"
Ji Yuntang has such sharp eyes, how could she see it?
His pill was indeed made of moon-watching sand, silkworm sand, human philtrum yellow, chicken droppings white, duck droppings green, and horse urine.
There is also a colorless and odorless chronic poison in it. After taking it, people will become more and more sleepy until they can no longer wake up.
Of course, all this was instructed by Concubine Li.
Concubine Li thinks that Luo Junhe is not worthy of eating good food. If she really uses more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs to make medicine for him, wouldn’t that be a waste?
The reason she did this was that on the one hand she didn't want Luo Junhe to die too easily, and on the other hand she wanted to humiliate him.
Ji Yuntang looked at Doctor Zhu's reaction, and a hint of coldness appeared in his almond-shaped eyes.
"It seems that this princess really guessed it right?"
"You are here to treat the disease, but you are really trying to use this thing to harm our prince. If that is the case, I will take the pills and report to the Dali Temple. I have all the evidence, and let's see how you can argue when the time comes!"
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, he was about to leave angrily, and Doctor Zhu was so scared that his soul almost flew away.
This pill cannot withstand the inspection of the Dali Temple. What will happen if she really takes it to the authorities?
Ruining their reputation as a doctor after many years of practice is a small matter, but they are afraid that the lives of their entire family may not be saved.
Thinking of this, Doctor Zhu hurriedly chased after him and pushed Ji Yuntang from behind.
