Gu Qingli nodded.
After Zhu Wei An left, Xiao Yi Xiu looked at her and smiled, "Are you planning to collect a sky-high diagnosis fee?"
"No, I only accept rice noodles."
Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head with a smile. "You have more than just seven orifices, don't you?"
Gu Qingli asked, "Does Your Highness think that a forced method would be better?"
"Naturally, your method is better." He wasn't stupid. Even if her method didn't work too well, she could still use his method after failure. If her method could solve all problems, that would be even better. But now, if she was questioned, wouldn't that just be looking for trouble? If she kicked him out of bed tonight, that would be bad.
Not to mention the families of the female family members, there weren't many merchants and gentry who had arrived for the first time.
Zhu Wei An followed Xiao Yixiu's instructions and was not allowed to force anything. Although each of the families had posted a notice, from the looks of the carriages and horses in front of the yamen, he knew that there wouldn't be many people present in his large living room.
The only reason why some of them came was because they were curious. First, they wanted to see the prince, and second, they wanted to see the so-called 'Ghost Doctor'.
Although the citizens did not fight with the officials, these people were well-known and influential in the local area, and were not ordinary merchants. Zhu Wei'an, this thorny history, was unexpectedly unable to suppress it, and after listening to their whispers and discussions about the gathering with ridicule, he could only let out a light sigh.
However, when Xiao Yi Xiu appeared on the stage, the entire hall was silent.
They all stared at the man in white who was slowly walking in. His gentle and distant face unknowingly carried a terrifying noble aura, causing the noisy merchants to instantly quiet down.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts that, as expected of the War God whose name shook the East Mountain Range back then. Even after the final battle, he was seriously ill. Even now, when he saw the real person, he still felt inexplicably shaken.
Following him was a woman dressed in a fire like suit. Her face was covered by a red veil, and the only exposed gaze was proud and aloof. Everywhere it swept past, everyone couldn't help but shiver, and unexpectedly felt an intangible biting cold killing intent.
With a flash of killing intent, the woman slowly stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the man. Her red and white radiance reflected off of her, making her seem like a person who hadn't been seen in a long time.
Zhu Wei An immediately stood up and bowed. All the merchants then paid their respects, realizing that this woman in red was the 'Ghost Doctor' that Zhu Wei An mentioned, and also the Consort Mo Wang.
A girl could actually treat a patient in public? All the merchants and gentry revealed expressions of distrust. Some of them had already lost their interest and decided to find an excuse to leave.
Gu Qingli didn't mind. She walked forward and pointed at an old woman who was half leaning on the sedan chair. "This old lady has been bedridden for at least seven or eight years. But her mouth is crooked and her body is paralyzed. Is she suffering from a stroke?"
Next to the old woman was a local gentleman. He tried his best to cover the contempt in his eyes as he said in a perfunctory manner, "My mother insisted on coming over to take a look, so I brought the old man out for a stroll. From the perspective of the concubine, after having suffered a stroke for so many years, will you be able to regain your limbs and stand up again? "
Gu Qingli could tell that he did not trust her, but she gave him a faint smile. "The madame's illness is not something that can be solved easily. She has been paralyzed for many years, so her muscles are naturally weak. However, in the blink of an eye, it is possible for her to make her limbs feel normal. "
She calmly spread out a silver needle bag on the table, and a silver needle flashed at the tip of her finger. Just as everyone was wondering how she was going to use the needle, they saw a cold flash of light, as if a needle net was descending from the sky, covering half of the old woman's body.
The squire was caught off guard and jumped up in fright. He pointed at her and angrily said, "You …. What are you trying to do to my mother? "
Gu Qingli smiled. If she wanted to do something to those present, could it be that she had to be wary of them? The squire's face was full of anger as she forgot her identity. At the moment his face turned pale as he saw her calm and mocking eyes. She restrained her anger and said: "Although Imperial Concubine Gu is a member of the royal family but you can't disregard life!"
"This is making too much money and reading too little?" Is this how people explained their lives? " Gu Qingli waved her hand as she talked. Half of the old woman's body was twitching on the spot the tip of her finger pointed at. Her fingers even curled up slightly.
"This …?" The squire's eyes widened in shock.
The silver needles that were quivering at the tip of her tail had disappeared one by one, and the old woman was trembling as she moved her originally limp feet, trying her best to sit up straight. Her wrist, which was twitching a moment ago, could already be slowly lifted, and even she was staring at her own hand in disbelief.
"Mother!" The squire half knelt in front of her in shock, supporting her body. What was even more inconceivable was that the old woman's slanted eyes had already opened normally, and her crooked mouth had become much more straight.
"How amazing!"
Accompanying the exclamations of surprise, Gu Qing Li walked to another sedan, which was also occupied by an old man. His eyes were closed, and his face was haggard.
She extended her finger to check the old man's breath, and then connected her wrist with a vein. Without saying a word, she extended her palm and struck out in quick succession, and like a lightning bolt, the silver needle pierced into the old man's body.
With the previous example, this Shang Jia did not shout in surprise, but the doubt and distrust on his face did not decrease, and he only stared at the old man's face. Actually, the reason he brought his father here was purely because he wanted to embarrass the Ghost Doctor so that she would know the difficulties and retreat.
His father had been in a coma for nearly a year, and before that, he had suffered from an unspeakable illness. People would wail and bawl all day, and the pain would be endless. How many of the local doctors and nominees had tried to find a cure for him?
While waiting for the needle to be pulled out, Gu Qingli took a brush and ink and wrote a prescription, carefully drying it before pulling out the silver needle.
Sure enough, the eyelids of the old man who had been unconscious for a long time twitched as he slowly opened his eyes!
A short and shocking cry exploded in the living room, and Gu Qing Li's gaze slowly turned respectful.
"I can't guarantee that he will live to a hundred years old, and I can't make him completely normal again, but just follow the instructions. After three months of continuous consumption, his movements will be normal, and his thoughts will be weakened and delayed by a year of slumber. However, he won't fall unconscious again."
"Gu Xiangfei is so strong!"
The following gazes were filled with anticipation, hoping to see her marvelous medical skills.
Gu Qingli put away the silver needle bag, looked around with a solemn expression, and said, "All of you are born into travelling trades, and occasionally, there are some who are not, and are considered to be from wealthy families. What you are most concerned about must be the benefits. At the same time, this wife had just tested her medical skills and only confirmed her skills. However, to this wife, there were no benefits whatsoever. "
"What benefits does Consort Gu want?" After talking for half a day, Gu Beiyue wanted nothing more than money. The shrewd merchants all had an expression of understanding. They looked at each other tacitly, thinking that this secondary wife really loved money.
