Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan did not even frown hearing what the Empress Dowager said.
If not for the dowries as an exchange condition, Gu Chaoyan was not at all willing to treat someone like the King.
Since the Empress Dowager wanted her to take a rest, she would absolutely do that. After all, she already got her dowries back. She said calmly, “Sure.” Then she stopped pulling out the needles from her bag.
She said with a serious look on her face, “I have written the prescriptions, and the imperial doctors don’t need to watch me doing anything. But whoever wants to take over should remember the spots for the acupuncture. So I can wait until the imperial doctor arrives before doing the acupuncture.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe did not mind showing the imperial doctors anything. Nor was she worried about anything either.
The Empress Dowager became unsure inwardly. She gave a light cough instead of answering her directly.
She said those words just because she wanted to counter Gu Chaoyan, rather than make her leave. Also, she knew pretty well that if the imperial doctors were capable enough, this girl would not have been here, but Gu Chaoyan turned out to be totally fearless. She feared nothing and that annoyed the Empress Dowager.
She had been dominating the court for so many years and this girl turned out to be the most pestering one of all.
The King was wearing a terrible expression on his face too.
This girl was not threatened! He could not take the risk of asking the imperial doctors to treat him. Even Zhao Yiqiu admitted that Gu Chaoyan was so good at doing the acupuncture that she could find the right spot directly, and that he himself could not exceed her. So the King did not dare to get the imperial doctor here at all.
The King laughed loudly. “Mom, look at you, you must have gotten very bored for you to like teasing young girls. Go and find some young princesses for your joke, Chaoyan is not young any more, she will take your jokes seriously!”
The Empress Dowager snorted. Even if the King was defending Gu Chaoyan, she still had no intention of letting her go. She disliked Gu Chaoyan. She truly hated this girl after hearing what Anxi said to her earlier.
This girl might be good at medicine, yet she was not at all as modest as how a young girl should be.
She disliked her. She truly did.
The King threw a look at the Empress Dowager and said nothing more. The Empress Dowager was used to being intimidating, and the King thought that he did not have to go deeper with it in front of Gu Chaoyan. So he stopped mentioning the Empress Dowager.
Instead, he said to Gu Chaoyan. “Come and do your job. We can’t let imperial doctors learn anything from your medical skills, right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Chaoyan nodded, but she was not unconvinced. When they were getting the prescriptions from her, they never mentioned a thing about keeping her medical skills secretive.
She was confident about her own medical skills too. Those who tried to learn from her would only get an outline, not the real essences. So she had nothing to fear.
Also, she was the only person who could detoxify the poison, meaning that he put his life in her hands. Gu Chaoyan truly had no idea what the King was so proud of.
Just as she did before, she performed acupuncture on his arms and legs.
Gu Chaoyan was fast with her job and it wasn’t difficult for her. Soon, she was done.
After the acupuncture was done, Gu Chaoyan brought out the prescription. “This is the medicine you will have to eat these days. Keep eating accordingly for one month and we will see later.”
The King was a bit excited. He took the prescription and asked, “Can I recover completely if I follow the prescription?”
