Chapter 75: A woman disguised as a man to remove lice from Xiao Xinghan and tricked him

This time, Xiao Xinghan was badly tricked by Gu Lingshuang.

It was common knowledge that the prince was unhygienic and had lice on his head.

Even the Emperor sent imperial doctors to treat him, but the effect was not obvious.

Xiao Xinghan became the subject of much laughter in Shengjing City.

Gu Lingshuang felt that the time was right, so she disguised herself as a man and went out to set up a stall.

She dressed herself up as an old man with a white beard and a goatee, looking like an immortal.

There were eight big words written on the sign: Difficult and complicated diseases can be cured with just one medicine.

The people sent by Xiao Xinghan had been looking for medicine to treat head lice in the city, but after many days, they still couldn't find any.

Even the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless against lice, and Xiao Xinghan was almost in despair.

His head was like a nest of lice. Lice were laying eggs on his head one after another. The roots of his hair were all snow-white, full of lice eggs, which made people's scalps tingle.

Xiao Xinghan was in so much pain that he wished he had shaved all his hair off.

However, as ancient people, the concept that "the body and hair are given by parents" is deeply rooted, and the hair should never be shaved unless it is absolutely necessary.

This caused him to try all kinds of medical treatments, including folk remedies, but nothing worked.

People from the Third Prince's Mansion were looking for a folk remedy to cure lice in Shengjing City and accidentally noticed Gu Lingshuang's stall.

The servant walked straight to Gu Lingshuang's stall.

"Old man, I have lice on my head. Can you cure it?"

Gu Lingshuang glanced at the man and found that he was indeed the servant who served Xiao Xinghan.

She nodded: "It's just a few head lice. I can cure them with medicine."

The servant looked happy, but still doubted: "You are not bragging, are you? If you dare to lie to me, my master will not forgive you."

Gu Lingshuang smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not, just buy a dose of medicine and try it and you'll know."

The servant thought it made sense. His Royal Highness the Third Prince had tried so many folk remedies but none of them worked. He might as well try this old man's medicine. It wouldn't do any harm anyway.

"How much is a dose of medicine?"

Gu Lingshuang stretched out a finger.

"One tael?" The servant frowned: "This is too expensive."

Gu Lingshuang shook her head: "One hundred taels."

The servant almost jumped up: "You can obviously grab it."

Gu Lingshuang was amused in his heart, but his face darkened: "This is the price of my medicine. If you want it, pay for it. If not, go away and don't disturb me while I'm doing business."

One hundred taels is not a small amount of money, and he dare not make the decision. What if it turns out to be useless, it would be a waste of one hundred taels of silver.

He smiled and said, "Old sir, would you mind coming back with me? If you can really remove my master's head lice, I will give you one hundred taels and a penny."

Gu Lingshuang was waiting for this sentence.

This time she was going to blackmail Xiao Xinghan heavily.

"Okay, lead the way."

In this way, Gu Lingshuang followed the servant to the Third Prince's Mansion.

On the way, Gu Lingshuang saw that Fu Rong Xuan's business was extremely hot.

All the jewelry she designed was snatched away by Gu Xianer. They have been on sale these days and have become the most popular styles in the circle of noble ladies in Shengjing.

If anyone doesn't have a piece of jewelry designed by her, he will be laughed at.

"'Fu Rong Xuan' is so lively." She seemed to sigh.

The servant smiled and said, "In half a month, the old lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be celebrating her 70th birthday. At that time, all the noble families will be invited to attend the birthday banquet, and the noble ladies will naturally dress up."

"I see."

Gu Lingshuang looked through the original owner's memory and found that half a month later it was indeed the birthday banquet of the old lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time of year, the wives and daughters of officials would dress up in their best clothes and compete with each other in beauty.

In previous years, it was Gu Xianer who was in the limelight, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion also gained glory and fame with her.

As for the original owner, the old lady of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion disliked her for being embarrassing and never allowed her to participate.

Gu Lingshuang looked at the booming business of Fu Rong Xuan and smiled.

The popularity of jewelry is only temporary. When more people buy it, it will become ubiquitous on the streets.

She wanted to see how awkward it would be when all these noble ladies from aristocratic families attended the banquet wearing the same jewelry.

She withdrew her gaze and, led by the servant, entered the Third Prince's Mansion and was taken to Xiao Xinghan's bedroom.

Before I even walked into the yard, I heard angry curses coming from inside.

"You lowly creatures are all laughing at this prince, aren't you?"

"A bunch of useless trash. This prince has repeatedly warned you not to spread this matter. Who on earth spread it?"

"If I find him, I will pull out his tongue and throw him to the dogs."

He was like a madman, swearing in the yard.

The servant was so frightened that he trembled and stood in front of the gate, hesitating and not daring to move.

Gu Lingshuang kept pursing her lips, wanting to smile in gloating but not daring to.

She lowered her head, looking as if she was frightened by Xiao Xinghan's anger.

After a long while, the cursing inside finally stopped.

The servant mustered up the courage to push open the gate.

"Your Highness, I have found an old gentleman who claims he can remove lice."

Xiao Xinghan's face was terribly gloomy.

Every time I saw a doctor, he said he could cure it, but each time he failed.

He looked at Gu Lingshuang coldly and found that the other party was a short and very thin old man.

His hair and beard were gray, his skin was dark, and his long eyebrows hung down almost covering his eyes.

The other person followed behind the servant, walking unsteadily.

He looks like an old man no matter how you look at him. Can he really get rid of head lice?

Xiao Xinghan was full of suspicion and said coldly: "If you can't remove all the lice on this prince's head, this prince will kill you."

Gu Lingshuang lowered her eyebrows and said: "I dare not expect your highness to fail."

"Well, in that case, then you can get started."

Gu Lingshuang didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xinghan was impatient.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, I told your men before I came here that one treatment would cost one hundred taels of silver."

Xiao Xinghan's eyes immediately became fierce.

One hundred taels of silver? He really asked for too much.

Although one hundred taels of silver was nothing to him, he was not a sucker.

"Haha." He sneered: "If you can really remove the lice on this prince's head, don't say a hundred taels, this prince will reward you with a thousand taels. If you can't, this prince will have people beat you to death with sticks and throw you to the dogs."

One thousand taels? Xiao Xinghan is really rich.

She glanced at him secretly. If she could cure his impotence, wouldn't there be more rewards?

Gu Lingshuang made up her mind and looked calm.

"I certainly wouldn't dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"Okay, then come over here." Xiao Xinghan gestured to Gu Lingshuang.

Gu Lingshuang walked up to him and took out a porcelain bottle from her arms.

In the bottle was a powder that she had prepared in advance that could kill lice and lice eggs.

She sprinkled all the powder on Xiao Xinghan's head, then took a step back.

"The powder will stay on for an hour, then your Highness the Third Prince can wash it clean. I guarantee that all the lice will be removed."

The moment the powder was sprinkled on his scalp, Xiao Xinghan's scalp stopped itching instantly.

He had been tormented by lice these days, and when his scalp suddenly stopped itching, he squinted his eyes comfortably.
