Da Ming: Father, step aside, I'll be the prime minister!

Chapter 93 You actually tortured my own brother?! (Second update!)
Upon hearing Zhang Yunxiu's analysis, one of the doctors asked with a puzzled look, "Master, do you mean that allicin isn't entirely effective?"

Zhang Yunxiu slapped him on the head and said angrily, "How many times have I told you, allicin is not a miracle drug. Allicin has a miraculous effect on inflammation, but it is not a cure-all."

Previously, the illness was unclear; after such a thorough examination, it's clear that even allicin is unlikely to be a cure!

Another doctor's eyes lit up and he said, "Is this why my master used the honey-infused esophagus method?"

Zhang Yunxiu nodded and said, "One is the honey-infused broth method, and the other is the external needle injection therapy."

A doctor quickly added, his face showing a manic expression: "Using honey-infused broth to replenish the body's vital energy, the patient's body will be well-nourished, giving it the strength to fight off the bacteria. Then, an injection of allicin solution will be administered into the groin area to achieve a better anti-inflammatory effect! Master, I understand! Hahahaha!"

Zhang Yunxiu nodded and said, "You are a promising young man. You have good comprehension. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to become an associate professor in the future."

"Thank you, my dear teacher!"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Yingzhen's facial muscles twitched involuntarily, and for a moment he even had an impulse to save his younger brother.

These people all look like lunatics!

"Cough cough~"

He coughed, took a few steps forward, and asked in as gentle a tone as possible.

"Mr. Zhang, how is my younger brother?"

Upon seeing Zhu Yingzhen, Zhang Yunxiu's eyes lit up immediately, as if the other party had not had any conflict with him at all.

That's understandable. After all, if someone is willing to give you eight thousand taels of silver for a deal, what's wrong with letting them curse you a bit?
Not only was he immediately impressed, but Zhang Yunxiu also spoke very enthusiastically.

"So it's Duke Cheng! Congratulations, Duke Cheng! The surgery was a great success. Our Renmin Medical Clinic used the most advanced medical technology for your brother. You get what you pay for, Duke Cheng. Since you've been so generous, our clinic will certainly provide you with the highest level of service and the best medical care."

These words, one after another, were like a demonic chant echoing in his ears, making Zhu Yingzhen's head spin. He frowned deeply and said...

"I just heard someone say that this place is a mortuary?"

Zhang Yunxiu's face immediately stiffened, and he explained awkwardly.

"What are you saying, Your Excellency? How could this be a mortuary? Look at the plaque outside, 'Great Ming Critical Care Research and Medical Development Center,' which is a place specifically for researching medical principles and treating patients. How can it be the same as a mortuary? Your Excellency must have misheard."

Zhu Yingzhen didn't know what to say. He couldn't compare to Zhang Shiyuan's eloquence, so he sighed and said...

"Never mind, how is my younger brother? Take me to see him quickly."

“Your Excellency!” Zhang Yunxiu said with a very serious expression. “Your son has been transferred to the intensive care unit. It is best not to visit him. The patient needs to rest now.”

Zhu Yingzhen could no longer bear it. He angrily said, "No! I must see my younger brother today. If I cannot see him safe and sound, I will not give you a single penny!"

He was genuinely afraid that his younger brother would be "destroyed" by Zhang Yunxiu.

Moreover, Yingzhen has figured out this kid's temperament. It's useless to act like a duke with him, but if you talk about money, you can really threaten him.

"What the hell?" Zhang Yunxiu looked displeased and almost lost his temper.

But then I thought, this guy paid a whopping eight thousand taels of silver! The customer is always right.

After thinking it over, there was no reason not to allow a visit, so he reluctantly agreed, saying, "Then Your Excellency may go and take a look, but only for a glance."

With Zhang Yunxiu's permission, Zhu Yingzhen followed several doctors, winding through several turns, until they finally saw a tightly sealed room.

You get what you pay for. For a full eight thousand taels of silver, even the ward had glass windows, through which one could vaguely see Zhu Yinghuai lying on the bed.

At this moment, Zhu Yinghuai lay on the clean white bedding, his face still swollen, but he was clearly fast asleep.

Seeing his chest heaving as he breathed from afar, Zhu Yingzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Xian used to work in the Imperial Medical Academy and had met Zhu Yingzhen once. Having the identity of an imperial physician and standing next to Zhu Yingzhen made him feel much more at ease.

He explained to Zhu Yingzhen, "Your Excellency need not worry too much. We have adopted a syringe injection therapy to inject the garlic solution into the young master's body, which is more effective than oral administration."

Then, a honey-infused purgative method was used to nourish the young master's body, enhance his vital energy, and expel pathogenic factors.
Finally, since the young master is in unbearable pain and has difficulty sleeping, which will affect the recovery, I have prescribed a peony and licorice decoction for him, which has the effect of harmonizing the liver and spleen and relieving pain. After a series of well-reasoned analyses and descriptions, Zhu Yingzhen was once again confused, but he felt inexplicably relieved. He rubbed his temples and said.

"So, how can my younger brother get better?"

Luo Xian's face was very serious: "Well... the situation is stable now, but whether it will improve or not will require further observation over a period of time. As you know, Duke, human medicine is..."

It started again.

Zhu Yingzhen rubbed his forehead. When he first met Luo Xian of the Imperial Medical Academy, he thought he was a mature and steady person.

Who would have thought that after coming to Renmin Medical Clinic, he would also become eccentric and talk about "modern medicine" all the time.

This Zhang Shiyuan has really done a lot of harm!
However, to be honest, his own younger brother still needed their treatment. Even though this "modern medicine" seemed unorthodox, Zhu Yingzhen was not a stubborn scholar. As long as it could save his life, he would accept any amount of money, whether it was outrageous or bizarre.

There was only one requirement: to survive.

He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said.

"Then I will trouble you gentlemen to take good care of him. If my younger brother can truly recover, I will certainly repay you handsomely."

For a young master of the Duke's mansion, nothing is more important than life; every extra day lived is an extra day of enjoyment.

These young masters, in some ways, lived even more comfortably than the emperor.

"No~ No~"

Luo Xian seemed unwilling to deal with the other party any longer and was eager to leave.

After all, for a "scientific backbone" like him, every second counts in scientific research.

The sense of accomplishment from "scientific research" is far more captivating than any sexual pleasure in bed!
"If it were you, sir."

Zhu Yingzhen wanted to exchange more pleasantries, but his younger brother, Zhu Yinghuai, seemed to have turned over on the bed inside the window.

It didn't matter if he didn't turn over, but as soon as he did, the sharp-eyed Zhu Yingzhen noticed that there was a shelf next to the bed with a glass bottle hanging on it, containing a clear liquid.

The liquids extended along some kind of conduit all the way to Zhu Yinghuai's body; the conduit appeared to be made of chicken or duck intestines.

"What is that?" Zhu Yingzhen frowned, realizing something was wrong.

Luo Xian's expression stiffened for a moment. He gestured to the doctor beside him to go find Zhang Yunxiu while he hurriedly explained.

"Oh dear! Your Excellency, you are unaware of the treatment methods used at our Renmin Medical Clinic, aren't you? Let me take you on a tour and let you learn about our disease prevention tips. We've also recently been researching nutrition, which is most beneficial for a high-ranking official like yourself, promoting longevity!"

"Stop rambling on!"

Zhu Yingzhen was furious. From the moment he entered the clinic until now, he felt that these people had been playing him for a fool.

I've been patient and patient, but these people seem to be treating me like a child, playing with me!
"I want to go in and take a look!"

He pushed the door open forcefully, intending to enter the ward.

"No! Your Excellency, disturbing the patient like this will affect his condition!" Luo Xian desperately tried to stop him.

But how could a doctor who was so weak and powerless be a match for a martial artist?

Zhu Yingzhen shoved Luo Xian aside, kicked open the door, and rushed to his younger brother's bedside. He grabbed a corner of the quilt and yanked it open to take a look.

He was immediately startled.

This scene made Zhu Yingzhen's eyes bloodshot, and he roared angrily.

"You damned beasts! How dare you torture my own brother!"
