It was already deep into the night after Leng Ruo Li had finished detoxifying Chen Yin, but the Leng Royal Manor was still brightly lit.
She hadn't returned to the General's Manor for the entire day, and Xing'er must have been worried sick. Her stomach was also rumbling with hunger.
But just as she emerged from the room and took a few steps, someone called out to her from behind.
"Young sir, please stop!"
Leng Ruo Li turned around at the sound of the voice. A thin old man, panting, was chasing after her from behind. This person was precisely Imperial Physician Zhang.
Fortunately, she was wearing men's clothing and a mask when she went out today. Otherwise, Imperial Physician Zhang would surely have recognized her identity.
However, it was already so late. Why was Imperial Physician Zhang still here?
She knew that this little old man had arrived while she was giving Chen Yin acupuncture earlier. He had babbled a lot of nonsense in front of her, which had annoyed her greatly.
But later, this little old man suddenly fell silent and quietly stood to the side watching.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, why are you still at the Leng Royal Manor?"
Leng Ruo Li asked politely, as if by chance.
"Zhang is waiting here specifically for the young sir. Earlier, in the room, Zhang's perspective was too narrow and he offended you. Zhang hopes the young sir will forgive him!"
Her words caused Leng Ruo Li to freeze slightly. This little old man had changed his demeanor too quickly.
She then regained her composure and said calmly, "Imperial Physician Zhang, you don't need to mind. I haven't taken what happened earlier to heart."
"That... young sir, could you explain to Zhang the detoxification acupuncture technique you just used?" Imperial Physician Zhang asked with a thick skin.
Oh, so he wanted to learn her detoxification acupuncture technique.
Thus, Leng Ruo Li replied readily, "Certainly, but it's already very late today, and I'm in a hurry to return to my manor. How about we arrange another time? I'll explain it to you in detail then."
Imperial Physician Zhang felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this. He had waited outside Chen Yin's door for a long time tonight, not returning to his manor in a hurry, precisely because he feared missing this opportunity and never finding this young man again.
He looked at the young man's attire and the fact that he wasn't showing his true face. Even if they were to bump into each other nose-to-nose in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him. Therefore, he wanted to learn her detoxification acupuncture technique now.
However, before Imperial Physician Zhang could respond, a cold and domineering voice reached his ears.
"You cannot leave the Leng Royal Manor tonight. Although Chen Yin's poison has been resolved, he has not yet woken up. Therefore, you must wait for him to wake up before you can leave the Leng Royal Manor."
Upon seeing who had arrived, Imperial Physician Zhang quickly cupped his hands in greeting. "This subordinate pays his respects to His Highness!"
Jun Mo Han: "Rise."
Only Leng Ruo Li stood upright without any movement.
Jun Mo Han's handsome brows furrowed slightly. Was the eldest daughter of the General's Manor this ill-mannered?
But considering her meritorious service in saving someone tonight, he would not bother with her for now.
Tonight, Jun Mo Han was wearing a dark purple brocade robe, with an exquisite jade pendant hanging from his waist. He had a tall and slender figure, fair skin, and a handsome face as if carved by a knife. This man was indeed very handsome, but he always had a cold demeanor, which made him very unlikable.
"Didn't you say that if I cured Chen Yin of the corpse poison, you would let me go? Are you breaking your promise now?"
Leng Ruo Li was so angry that she exploded. The ball of fire suppressed in her chest instantly shot up to the crown of her head.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, just not tonight. After Chen Yin wakes up, I will let you return immediately," Jun Mo Han said calmly.
"I've already explained clearly to you. I've already resolved Chen Yin's poison. As long as the residual toxins in his skin are soaked out with medicinal soup, he will be fine and will wake up soon. There is absolutely no need for me to stay here.
Besides, I haven't been home all day, and I'm starving. My maid must be extremely worried," Leng Ruo Li said, growing more and more annoyed.
"You don't need to say anything more. If I say you cannot go back, you cannot go back. You are Chen Yin's attending physician, and no other physician understands your treatment methods. If you leave and Chen Yin has an accident, who will be responsible?"
"I have already instructed the guards to inform your maid that you will not be returning tonight. As for eating, I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare food for you, and it will be delivered shortly. You should stay in the Leng Royal Manor with peace of mind until Chen Yin wakes up."
After Jun Mo Han finished speaking, he walked away elegantly and stylishly with two guards, leaving only his aloof and proud back behind.
"You... Jun Mo Han is a big scoundrel..."
Damn him!
He was really making her furious!
Imperial Physician Zhang's expression changed drastically. He quickly covered Leng Ruo Li's mouth with his hand, preventing her from continuing her insults.
"My dear young ancestor, are you tired of living? How dare you curse the Prince of Leng? Haven't you heard the rumors about the Prince of Leng?"
Hearing her curse the Prince of Leng, Imperial Physician Zhang broke out in a cold sweat. His legs trembled, fearing that if the Prince of Leng heard it, he might get displeased and kill them both.
"This Prince of Leng is a cruel and bloodthirsty prince. There are few people in the entire capital who are not afraid of him," Imperial Physician Zhang said to her tremblingly.
"Hmph!"
She, Leng Ruo Li, would not fear him, Jun Mo Han! If he pushed her too far, she would shoot him with a gun and then throw a bomb to blow up his Leng Royal Manor.
After a long while, Leng Ruo Li finally regained her composure and asked calmly, "Imperial Physician Zhang, are you returning soon?"
"No, no, young sir. Zhang will stay with you in the Leng Royal Manor tonight as company," Imperial Physician Zhang quickly replied.
Although he was also very afraid of the Prince of Leng, who was filled with hostility, he was even more unwilling to see this medical genius lose her life for provoking the Prince of Leng. He wanted to stay in the Leng Royal Manor to protect this young sir to the best of his ability.
"Alright then, after I eat, I'll explain that detoxification acupuncture technique to you."
Imperial Physician Zhang's heart rejoiced, and he quickly nodded. This was exactly what he wanted.
After the meal
Leng Ruo Li secretly took out a human acupoint chart from her portable system and called over Doctors Han and Yang as well, so they could listen. Perhaps it would greatly help their medical skills.
When the three of them saw the acupoint chart in Leng Ruo Li's hand, they were all stunned.
"Heavens!"
They had been practicing medicine for decades and had never seen such a clear acupoint chart. Every acupoint was marked so clearly, and there were colors, which truly opened their eyes!
"Young sir, where did you get this acupoint chart from?" Imperial Physician Zhang asked curiously.
"This acupoint chart was given to me by my mysterious master. As for where it came from, I'm not sure either," Leng Ruo Li replied.
"Young sir, this acupoint chart is a treasure for anyone who studies medicine!"
"Is it? If you need it, I have another copy of this acupoint chart. After I finish explaining later, I'll give these two charts to you."
The three of them were overjoyed to hear this.
This young sir was too generous!
He was willing to give away such a treasure.
However, they did not know that she had many such acupoint charts in her portable system space. The reason she did not give each of them a chart was that she was afraid of her secrets being leaked too much and attracting covetousness from others.
Afterward, Leng Ruo Li skillfully changed the subject.
"Now I'll ask you a question. Do you know how many acupoints the human body has?"
Doctor Yang and Doctor Han said in unison, "Three hundred and sixty-six acupoints."
Imperial Physician Zhang: "Five hundred and six acupoints."
"No, the human body has a total of seven hundred and two acupoints."
The three elder doctors looked incredulous. "So the human body has so many acupoints!"
"Then does everyone know what an acupoint is?"
All three fell silent.
"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acupoints are the parts where the qi and blood of the internal organs' meridians are infused into the surface of the body. They are also called Shu Xue. The Shu Xue of the human body are not only reaction points of diseases but also the points that acupuncture needs to stimulate."
"As for the detoxification acupuncture technique I used tonight, it is to use the methods of unblocking and blocking the meridians to guide the toxic blood in Chen Yin's body to his left arm, and then let it flow out from the broken opening at his fingertips... Then, when removing the needles, special attention must be paid to the order. The needles cannot be removed casually, as it can easily lead to severe bleeding..."
Although Leng Ruo Li's face was covered by a mask, her eyes were like glazed glass, and her unique and extraordinary temperament easily captivated people.
At this moment, she was tirelessly and eloquently explaining the knowledge of acupoints and the detoxification acupuncture technique used tonight to the three elder doctors.
This knowledge was extremely precious to ancient physicians.
Leng Ruo Li spoke vividly, with great concentration, and in an easy-to-understand manner. The three elder doctors listened attentively, and none of them noticed a tall figure suddenly appear in the room.
Jun Mo Han had quietly entered the room when Leng Ruo Li took out the acupoint chart, but he did not disturb her as she imparted her acupuncture techniques to the three doctors.
Even he was shocked by the acupoint chart Leng Ruo Li had taken out.
Although he dared not claim to know everything under the sky, he was considered a prince who had read extensively and was accomplished in both literature and martial arts. However, even he had never seen such a clear acupoint chart. It was very incredible for a former mentally disabled and ugly woman to have two such acupoint charts the moment she spoke.
Who was this woman?
Could it be that the rumors of her being foolish in the past were all false?
Or was it true, as she said, that she feigned foolishness to protect herself?
