Chapter 83: The big deal, the princess takes a step back
It is another sunny day in Xinzheng City today, but the weather is getting colder and colder, and the warmth that the sun can bring is also decreasing.
However, more than half of winter has passed, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days. By the time of the New Year, the weather will start to get warmer.
Gu Xun is currently treating patients in the medical clinic. This is his last patient this morning:
"The accumulation of fire poison in your body is a bit serious. It's too slow to take the medicine. I'd better give you acupuncture." Gu Xun said to a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a sallow face, and at the same time he leaned under the counter to get some.
The acupuncture box came out.
Compared with preparing medicines and prescribing, Doudou is best at acupuncture with golden needles. He studied it in ancient times, so he is naturally good at acupuncture.
"Come, come to the cubicle over here, I'll give you acupuncture."
Some diseases are not suitable for treatment in public, or even for discussion, so Gu Xun has a small side room in the middle of the medical clinic for cover.
However, this rich man obviously has some... distrust in acupuncture.
Although Dr. Gu is a well-known medical expert in the city, how can this needle be inserted into the human body without causing death from pain?
"Doctor Gu, is this...is this necessary? Can't I just take medicine?" the rich man asked tentatively with a hint of embarrassment.
Gu Xun said it didn't matter, "It's all fine. If you take medicine, it can take as little as five or seven days, as long as half a month. The acupuncture is quick, and one time is enough to release most of the heat poison. Then you can take some medicine to remove the gunpowder, and you will be fine in two or three days."
Done."
"Which one do you choose, medicine or acupuncture?"
The man hurriedly said: "Let's do the acupuncture."
He was severely tortured by the fire poison on his body. Not only did he have many abscesses on his body, but his mouth was also full of sores. He also couldn't sleep well at night. In general, he couldn't eat well or sleep well. If he still had to
Ten days and a half of suffering... In comparison, being pricked with needles is acceptable.
"Um... Doctor Gu, does it hurt when your needle pricks you?" Even though he had made his decision, the man was still a little timid.
After all, he is a well-off and well-off wealthy man, but he has no experience of being pricked by acupuncture. This is the first time he has heard of acupuncture.
Gu Xun waved his hand impatiently, "Don't worry, it won't hurt. If the patient whines and hurts, then it's not saving his life, it's killing him."
There are so many people here. If it weren't for the sake of gold coins, I really wouldn't want to care about him. Anyway, it's just heat poison. It must have been caused by being exposed to too much fire. It may kill him.
Seeing that Gu Xun was a little impatient, the other party didn't dare to say anything more.
Compared with the previous attitude of most noble people towards Gu Xun, which was just respect, many people now have a fear of him.
These days, the news about Gu Xun entering the palace to diagnose Mrs. Mingzhu's illness has spread. Everyone with some influence in Xinzheng City knows that King Han and Mrs. Mingzhu are very satisfied with him. Therefore, where are they, merchants with some money and property?
Dare to provoke Gu Xun.
The patient began to cooperate, and it was not difficult to perform acupuncture. Moreover, Gu Xun was proficient in acupuncture and could not make a mistake even with his eyes closed.
After an hour and a quarter, the acupuncture was finished, and I got him some gunpowder - the serious kind - everything was done, and I got fifty gold. Just when the rich man paid the money and was about to leave, an uninvited guest came. p>
"Gu Xun! Gu Xun! This princess is here again." Honglian's whirring voice came from outside the hospital.
Gu Xun tilted his head towards the door in surprise. Did this girl regain her composure so quickly?
He originally thought that this little girl might never come to him again, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, he would come to the medical clinic again.
The wealthy businessman who was about to leave after paying the money shivered when he heard this. He didn't know Honglian, but he also knew Honglian.
He said he knew him because the people in the city knew that King An of Han had only one daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Honglian. She was deeply loved and she wandered around the city every day, including the wealthy businessmen who saw doctors. So when he heard someone calling himself the princess, he
I know it’s Princess Honglian.
He said he didn't know her because this was the first time he had the honor to see Her Royal Highness the princess' true face.
He was so lucky... Damn it, he was almost scared to death. Who didn't know that Princess Honglian was arrogant and domineering, and would behead people if they disagreed with her. When she heard Princess Honglian's voice just now, she was filled with emotion.
He is so squeamish, and then think about the handsome face of this ancient doctor, between these two people...
If something like this happened to her, Princess Honglian might not let her whole family go on the road together!
When he thought of this, the wealthy businessman's face instantly turned pale.
Gu Xun didn't know how far this guy wanted to go, so he just thought he was frightened by the princess's identity. After all, everyone in Zhengcheng knew that Princess Honglian was unruly and willful.
At this time, Honglian also walked into the hospital with cheerful steps and bounding.
"Gu Xun, I saw a carriage parked at your door. Is there a patient?"
The carriage was naturally used by wealthy businessmen who came to see doctors.
But now he has been pushed aside by the imperial soldiers accompanying Honglian.
As Honglian finished speaking, she also saw the wealthy businessman standing in front of the counter. She knew without Gu Xun's answer that there was indeed a patient coming to seek medical treatment.
When the wealthy businessman saw Honglian entering the door, he quickly suppressed the sadness on his face, forced a smile, and saluted respectfully:
"The villain has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Honglian didn't know who he was, and she wasn't interested in knowing who this middle-aged fat man was. She waved her hand casually, didn't pay much attention to him, and asked Gu Xun enthusiastically:
"Are you going to treat someone?"
"No." Gu Xun broke her fantasy, "I've finished watching the disease."
"Ah!" Honglian let out a disappointed sigh.
The wealthy businessman stood aside feeling very embarrassed, a little afraid of being offended, but Gu Xun looked at the fact that he paid so readily and waved at him, "You should leave quickly, it's none of your business."
Seeing that Princess Honglian had no objection, the wealthy businessman smiled favorably at Gu Xun and expressed his gratitude. Then he froze and ran quickly to his home under the gaze of a group of forbidden soldiers who had been driven away a few hundred meters away.
The carriage is here.
Neither Gu Xun nor Hong Lian cared much about this ordinary wealthy businessman.
It’s easier to chat after leaving.
"Princess, why are you willing to visit Gu's small medical clinic again today?" Gu Xun turned his head and looked at Honglian, who still looked like a cute girl in a peach and white dress with a flowery smile.
Hearing Gu Xun's slightly teasing words, Honglian's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed.
After learning that Gu Xun had gotten married a few days ago, she planned to never see this liar again. However, the mind of a girl who has just begun to fall in love is the most changeable. Gu Xun's face, temperament, especially the strangeness that it brought to her when they first met.
The feeling was unforgettable for her. When she was alone and had nothing to do, she always recalled it unconsciously, and then...
The more I think about it, the harder it becomes to let go, and the more I think about it, the less willing I am to completely cut off contact.
As the saying goes, if you never forget, there will be echoes, but Honglian's echoes were all created by herself, not by Gu Xun.
Then she read through a lot of messy historical records and after some research, she found that even if she got married, she wouldn't necessarily be unable to marry a princess.
At worst, this princess takes a step back and lets his current wife be a little girl and continue to stay with him.
