Chapter 239 - 239 239 Poison Gu

239: Chapter 239: Poison Gu 239: Chapter 239: Poison Gu Everyone listened in astonishment as Qin Han and Bruce rapidly exchanged in English.

Especially Zhang Henian and Ming Xizhi, with Zhang Henian having spent the most time with Qin Han, was shocked to discover that Qin Han could speak English, and to speak it so fluently at that.

And Ming Xizhi was equally stunned.

He had originally thought Qin Han just acquired a medical book or had learned his medical skills from a reclusive master.

Although his skills were superior, Ming Xizhi had never considered Qin Han to be on the same level as himself.

After all, he was an individual with higher education.

But now, Ming Xizhi could no longer underestimate Qin Han.

The purity of Qin Han’s spoken English was definitely not learned in a classroom.

Qin Han followed Bruce to Dirac’s bedside and said with a light smile, “Your Highness, hello.

My name is Qin Han.”

“Little Jim, this doctor has been arranged by the Dragon Country.

Since it has some reputation as a mysterious ancient country, let them give it a try,” said Bruce helplessly, as he was still skeptical about Qin Han’s abilities.

Upon hearing this, Dirac said with a smile, “Mr.

Qin, you speak English very well.

Dragon Country indeed lives up to its reputation as a land of courtesy.

Please do what you can.”

Qin Han smiled faintly, having a good impression of Dirac.

Many of the foreigners he had encountered felt superior, especially those so-called nobles.

However, Dirac, being a prince, spoke modestly and courteously.

“Your Highness, please extend your right hand,” Qin Han said lightly.

Dirac did as Qin Han asked, extending his right hand in front of the hospital bed.

Qin Han placed his fingers on Dirac’s pulse and carefully took the pulse for a long time.

Then, with a furrowed brow, he signalled for Dirac to stretch out his left hand.

After taking the pulse again, Qin Han withdrew his hand, apparently deep in thought.

“Mr.

Qin, what is the situation?” asked Zhang Henian.

Qin Han looked up at Zhang Henian and said, “I suspect that this is not a genetic disease at all.”

“What?” exclaimed Zhang Henian.

Qin Han stood up and said, “I need to examine a few other areas before I can be sure.”

Having said that, Qin Han spoke to Bruce, “I need to check the prince’s groin area.”

Upon hearing this, Bruce’s face darkened as he said, “May I ask how this relates to His Highness’s illness?”

“It’s very important, I suspect that His Highness’s condition is not a genetic disease at all!

I suspect it’s another disease, so I need to confirm it,” Qin Han said calmly.

“Nonsense!

The Dirac family has suffered from a hereditary disease for over two centuries, known to all nations.

Yet you claim it is not a genetic disease?

Mr.

Qin, we had little hope in you to begin with, so why persist in this charade?” Bruce said angrily.

Then he turned to Ming Xizhi and said, “Mr.

Ming, I am skeptical about Dragon Country’s sincerity in treating His Highness.

This person is simply a charlatan!”

Upon hearing this, sweat formed on Ming Xizhi’s forehead.

If this issue was not handled properly, it could turn into an international incident, a responsibility he could not bear.

Therefore, he turned his head and looked at Qin Han with a pleading face.

“Mr.

Bruce seems quite well-versed in Dragon Country culture to be familiar with charlatans.

However, even a charlatan may have his own unique remedy for a certain ailment, and once His Highness’s condition is confirmed, I happen to have a cure.

Furthermore, the Dirac family will no longer suffer from this disease in the future,” Qin Han said indifferently.

Dirac was just about to speak when he said, “Uncle Bruce, it’s just a look at the groin, there’s nothing to it, and I’ve seen that Doctor Qin is not the kind of person who pretends to know more than he does.”

“But, Little Jim, you are the Crown Prince of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and it’s impolite and unfriendly to treat you this way,” Bruce said anxiously.

Dirac smiled and continued, “I remember there’s an ancient saying in the Dragon Country, that hiding your illness is like shunning the doctor.

Status is just a title, it doesn’t represent anything else.”

Qin Han looked at Dirac with surprise yet again, astonished at how thoroughly Dirac understood the culture of the Dragon Country, and he admired Dirac’s sense of self-understanding.

In society, often the higher a person’s status, the more outstanding their composure, breadth of mind, and way of thinking; conversely, those of lower status care more about others’ opinions and are more petty.

“However, it’s still better for unrelated people to leave for a bit, after all, this place does involve some privacy,” Dirac said with a smile.

After that, everyone except Zhang Henian and Bruce left the sickroom.

Outside the sickroom, the municipal leader of Zhongzhou City asked Ming Xizhi, “Lord Ming, can this Mr.

Qin really cure the Prince’s illness?”

“How would I know?

Don’t the doctors in your own jurisdiction understand?

All I know is that he cured my father!” Ming Xizhi replied irritably, deeply anxious, with no time to clear up confusion for others; when facing his subordinates, the aura of authority that came with being in a high position for years radiated from him.

“I’ll give it a try, Lord Ming, your lesson is well taken!”

In the sickroom, Bruce helped Dirac take off his trousers, revealing his groin to Qin Han; when Qin Han saw the five red spots on Dirac’s groin, he nodded gravely, signaling that Dirac could put his trousers back on.

Turning to Zhang Henian, he said, “Why would there be Gu poison from Miaojiang on Dirac’s body?

How deep must the hatred be for someone to do this?”

?” Zhang Henian looked puzzled; he had never heard of such a disease.

Seeing the two converse in Xia Language and without a translator at hand, Bruce couldn’t understand a word they were saying, but judging from their expressions, it seemed as though Qin Han knew what the disease was.

“Mr.

Qin, what are you talking about?

What exactly is the condition of Little Jim’s illness?” Bruce asked anxiously.

It was only then that Qin Han realized Bruce did not understand Xia Language, and he hastily said, “I’m so sorry, Bruce, just a moment.”

He then gestured for Zhang Henian to call the translator back in, and after the translator and everyone else came back in, Qin Han slowly began to ask, “Dirac, how much do you know about your family’s medical history, I mean, when did this hereditary disease start appearing in your family?”

“It seems to have started with the establishment of the Dirac family’s empire where the sun never sets; this hereditary disease suddenly appeared in our family.

If this is related to the condition, I can ask my father about it,” Dirac said thoughtfully.

Qin Han shook his head, “There’s no need for that, I’m just curious why, living in the sun that never sets, you were stricken with the Gu poison more than two centuries ago!”

“Mr.

Qin, what is Gu poison?” Dirac asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Bruce stepped forward, staring intently at Qin Han, “Mr.

Qin, do you mean the Dirac family doesn’t actually suffer from a genetic hereditary disease, but instead, from the Gu poison of Miaojiang in the Dragon Country?”

“Exactly!” Qin Han nodded, not expecting Bruce to be so knowledgeable about the Dragon Country, even knowing about the Gu poison of Miaojiang.

“How can that be?

The Empire on which the sun never sets has only had open communications with the Dragon Country for just over a century, whereas the Dirac family’s hereditary disease appeared over two centuries ago; the timelines just don’t match up!” Bruce said, shaking his head.
