My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 281 - 282: Inheriting from Liuli!

Chapter 281: Chapter 282: Inheriting from Liuli!

"So what if my master’s teacher is unknown? My master is highly skilled in medicine. It’s possible that his teacher is just not interested in fame and fortune, unlike some people who can only criticize others but have no abilities themselves!"

Zhuang Muyan glared at Bai Wuheng; he was truly feeling that his master had wasted his efforts saving him last time!

Why didn’t he change his name to Ingrate?

Bai Wuheng turned to look directly at Chu Nanli: "The Princess Consort hesitates to speak, could it be that she indeed has no master?"

"If the Princess Consort is reluctant to reveal her teacher, then what should be done if there are complications during the treatment of His Majesty?"

"Did I say I have no teacher?"

Chu Nanli raised an eyebrow and looked back, her emotions still incredibly stable despite Bai Wuheng’s many provocations.

Just on this point alone, she was actually much better than Bai Wuheng.

Though the crowd from the Imperial Medical Bureau hadn’t joined the argument,

most of them actually looked down on Bai Wuheng’s aggressive behaviour.

"My master is humble and has always kept a low profile, hence didn’t want me to reveal her name publicly."

"However, since you insist on asking, I have no choice but to respond."

Chu Nanli’s expression was calm as she slowly uttered a name: "My master is called Liuli."

"Clang——"

Before Bai Wuheng could say anything, an excited expression spread across Zhuang Muyan’s face.

"Master, is my great master really the Divine Doctor Liuli? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Now, in the capital, who hasn’t heard of the name of the Divine Doctor Liuli?

"Before now, wasn’t it that no one asked?"

Chu Nanli spread out her hands, her words laden with meaning as she continued.

"My master always teaches me not to become arrogant due to one’s medical achievements. For a physician, the most important thing is to have a benevolent heart interested in healing and saving people."

Upon hearing her words, many from the Imperial Medical Bureau nodded in agreement.

Even the Empress Dowager’s face showed a look of approval.

In contrast, Bai Wuheng truly seemed like a buffoon.

Zhuang Muyan looked at Bai Wuheng with a triumphant glance: "My master is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Liuli, now surely she must be qualified to treat His Majesty?"

"They say the Divine Doctor Liuli is divine, but in the end, no one has ever seen her. Those few medicines she introduced, who knows what means were used to obtain them?" Bai Wuheng, provoked by Zhuang Muyan, also began to speak without thinking.

"Throughout history, quite a few people have stolen others’ achievements to make a name for themselves. Who knows if this Divine Doctor Liuli is one of those people?"

"That is at least better than you, Imperial Physician Bai. You look so righteous, yet who knows how many atrocious deeds you’ve done behind closed doors!"

This jab from Zhuang Muyan truly hit a nerve for Bai Wuheng.

Bai Wuheng, both anxious and angry, could only look towards Chu Nanli in the end.

"If that’s the case, then speak, what illness does the Emperor have? If you cannot tell, both of you are just seeking attention!"

"And that Divine Doctor Liuli is nothing but a fame-seeker!"

Zhuang Muyan, so angry he was rolling up his sleeves, wanted to beat up Bai Wuheng on the spot.

Ultimately, it was only when Chu Nanli shook her head at him that he calmed down.

Their interactions were all noticed by Ye Yunting.

A cold look crossed Ye Yunting’s face.

If it weren’t for the presence of the Empress Dowager, he would have confronted Chu Nanli by now.

Chu Nanli ignored Bai Wuheng and began to share her conjecture with the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager, it is indeed because the Emperor has been overworking his mind on a regular basis, and has perhaps been working too hard recently, that he suddenly fainted,"

"Reviving His Majesty is not difficult, but he will need to continue recuperating afterward..."

The Emperor’s condition is actually a vascular embolism, a neurological problem.

If it were 2090, a minor surgery would completely cure him.

Since that isn’t possible now, Chu Nanli can only think of a way to wake the Emperor and then use medicinal herbs to slowly nurse him back to health.

Actually, the Emperor’s fainting spell was a blessing in disguise.

It inadvertently exposed his condition.

After all, such neurological diseases don’t usually show very obvious symptoms, and the situation can worsen if not carefully managed.

Chu Nanli tried to be as concise as possible, but many of the Western medical theories still sounded like gibberish to the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Bai Wuheng, on the other hand, didn’t have to say anything.

He didn’t understand a single word, but due to his pride, he was unwilling to show weakness to Chu Nanli.

He could only maintain his Divine Doctor’s demeanor and continue to be dismissive of everything else.

Zhuang Muyan, however, understood, "Master, you mean to say that the Emperor fainted because there’s a blood clot in his brain blocking circulation, and if we find a way to dissolve the clot, His Majesty will be out of danger, is that right?"

"Exactly," Chu Nanli was very pleased.

She had taken Zhuang Muyan as her apprentice because she felt he was young and capable of understanding new things.

Indeed, Zhuang Muyan didn’t disappoint her.

He was able to integrate what she taught him very well.

Given more time, Zhuang Muyan’s medical skills would surely surpass those old men at the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"If that’s the case, the Princess Consort should now be able to wake His Majesty, right?"

Ji Shen, who had not systematically studied Western medical theory, had more questions than Bai Wuheng.

However, he was much more humble than Bai Wuheng.

At least he knew to ask when he didn’t understand.

Chu Nanli nodded gently, "That’s correct, His Majesty’s symptoms are not too severe, and it is not difficult to wake him."

"Then you should go treat the Emperor now; the entire Imperial Medical Bureau is at your disposal!" The Empress Dowager was ultimately worried about her son, and upon hearing there was a remedy, she could hardly wait for Chu Nanli to go in.

Chu Nanli didn’t make any excuses, and she called for several items to be prepared by the Imperial Medical Bureau, then entered the sleeping chamber again with Zhuang Muyan.

"You prepare some things over there; I’ll check on His Majesty."

Zhuang Muyan was obedient to her instructions and immediately turned to start fiddling with the array of bottles and jars in the medicine chest upon hearing her words.

Meanwhile, Chu Nanli took the opportunity to inject the Emperor with a prepared syringe.

After completing all this, Chu Nanli continued to speak.

"Do you still remember what I taught you before? Now, review it again on His Majesty."

"Master, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to His Majesty?" Zhuang Muyan hesitated slightly.

He was born into a notable family, and the principles of loyalty and patriotism were engrained in him from a young age.

Not just him, in fact, all the Imperial Physicians felt similarly.

Even if the Emperor truly was gravely ill, they would definitely have many reservations when explaining the condition to him.

"This is a new lesson I want to teach you. When you are treating and saving people, you must see all patients as equal, do you understand?"

Chu Nanli was well aware that she couldn’t change the prejudices of the larger environment.

But at the very least, she could try to change the ideas of those around her.
