"Eighteen Taiyi Needles?"

When Li Changsheng saw Doctor Xie, he recognized the Taiyi Eighteen Needles at a glance and was secretly shocked.

Could it be that he also knew about the existence of "Qihuang Yaoshu"?

Doctor Xie glanced at Li Changsheng and asked, "You brought this man here, didn't you know?"

Li Changsheng continued to play dumb, shaking his head like a rattle to show that he knew nothing.

He also briefly recounted the statement he had just made to fool Xie Wanqing.

Although Doctor Xie had his doubts, he did not ask any further questions.

He looked carefully again at the palm prints and needle holes on Bai Xue's back.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Great Compassion Palm of Buddhism. The palm force penetrates the lungs and lungs, but it does not damage clothes. The person who made this move should have sent a palm strike through the air, and the power is very strong!"

"The acupuncture technique of the Taiyi Eighteen Needles is very good, but the strength is still lacking!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the acupuncturist's cultivation level shouldn't be very strong, far inferior to that Buddhist monk who injured the girl with the Great Compassion Palm!"

When I saw Doctor Xie, I could see so many things with just one glance.

This made Li Changsheng secretly shocked.

"Thank you, Doctor. According to what you said, if the acupuncturist's skills were a little stronger, he might be able to save this girl."

Doctor Xie nodded and said, "That's right. As long as you can master the Eighteen Taiyi Needles, you can achieve the miraculous effect of curing the dead and turning bones into medicine!"

"And this acupuncturist right now is using the Eighteen Taiyi Needles to help this girl's displaced internal organs realign their positions."

"But due to insufficient strength, I was unable to inject my Qi into the deep lungs through the silver needles to repair them, causing Qi and blood to stagnate again and causing him to fall into a coma!"

After listening to Doctor Xie's story, Li Changsheng suddenly understood.

"Please thank the imperial physician for the treatment!"

Doctor Xie shook his head and said, "As I said earlier, I won't treat those whose origins are unknown."

"Unless you can tell me who this girl is?"

"Who was the one who gave her the acupuncture?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

Bai Xue's identity is special, so naturally she cannot tell Doctor Xie.

Li Changsheng also didn't want this guy to know the secret that he knew the Taiyi Eighteen Needles.

"Thank you, Doctor. Didn't I just tell you that? I saw her by chance on the street. I really don't know who she is."

"As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I have been kind-hearted since childhood and it is impossible for me to stand by and watch someone die without helping. So I sent her here."

Xie Wanqing, who was standing next to him, heard Li Changsheng's sincere words and followed suit to persuade him.

"Grandpa, please save this girl!"

Doctor Xie glared at his granddaughter and scolded her:

"Wanqing, this Eunuch Li doesn't know my rules. Don't you understand them?"

After scolding his granddaughter, Doctor Xie looked at Li Changsheng again.

"Eunuch Li, the person who performed the Taiyi Eighteen Needles may be able to save her!"

Li Changsheng was slightly startled and asked, "Doctor Xie, didn't you just say that the acupuncturist's cultivation was still weak and couldn't inject the true energy into her body through the silver needles?"

Doctor Xie said, "Just try a few more times. One of these times you'll succeed!"

Li Changsheng carefully thought about what Doctor Xie said, and he understood.

"Thank you, Doctor. Could you give me some more wild ginseng? The older the better!"

Doctor Xie stroked his gray beard, squinted his eyes and smiled, "That's fine!"

"Wanqing, there's a 500-year-old ginseng on the counter. Give it to Eunuch Li!"

Xie Wanqing responded and hurried to look for 500-year-old ginseng.

She packed it in a box and handed it to Li Changsheng.

At the same time, he gave her an apologetic look.

"Thank you, Doctor. How much is this wild ginseng?"

"Two thousand five hundred taels. Since you come here so often, I'll give you three thousand taels!"

Li Changsheng: "???"

I often come here to take care of your business, why are you giving me a zero return?

"Grandpa, how could you do this?"

Even Xie Wanqing felt that what her grandfather did today was a little unkind.

It would be fine if they just watched us die without helping, but they actually took the opportunity to raise the price.

How can this be called a kind-hearted doctor?

He is simply a black-hearted profiteer who raises the price arbitrarily.

Doctor Xie ignored his granddaughter and looked at Li Changsheng instead.

"Eunuch Li, if you think it's too expensive, you don't have to!"

Li Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "I want this ginseng, but I don't have that much silver on me right now. How about this, I'll bring it to you another day, okay?"

Doctor Xie nodded slightly and said, "Okay, there's no rush. Just send it over within three days!"

Li Changsheng thanked him and stood up to leave.

Watching Li Changsheng's back as he walked away.

Doctor Xie's eyes narrowed into a line, and he looked thoughtful.

"Grandpa, you always taught me that a doctor's heart is compassionate, and saving the dying and healing the wounded is our duty as a doctor."

"But today, you're so good, not only did you not help the dying, but you also sold the wild ginseng and raised the price?"

Doctor Xie looked at his granddaughter who still had an innocent face and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wanqing, think about this carefully. A eunuch walking around the palace could just pick up an injured woman."

"Not only is this woman's origin unknown, she was also struck by a palm strike from a Heavenly Grandmaster. And on the same day, someone used Medicine King Valley's unique skill, the Eighteen Taiyi Needles, to save her life!"

"With all these circumstances combined, don't you think it's very suspicious?"

After listening to her grandfather's story, Xie Wanqing fell into deep thought.

"It's quite suspicious, but if you're afraid of getting into trouble, then just don't save him. I can understand that."

"But why do you still want to raise the price and make this dirty money?"

When Doctor Xie saw his granddaughter, he was still naive and didn't understand what was going on.

"Wanqing, why do you think this Eunuch Li, knowing full well that I was asking for a high price, still spent three thousand taels of silver to buy her and prolong her life?"

Xie Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's because he's kind-hearted and feels he can't just stand by and watch someone die. Didn't he just say it himself? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"

"Otherwise, what else could he be doing? He's a eunuch, a rootless man, how could he possibly want the girl's body?"

Doctor Xie: “…”

He realized that he had already made his point so clearly.

I was speechless that my granddaughter was so naive.

Such a silly girl, even if she was sold by someone, she would probably still have to help others count the money!

"Hey, think about it carefully in the clinic. The Queen Mother is not feeling well. I'm going to Kunning Palace for a visit!"

When Doctor Xie arrived at Kunning Palace.

Empress Dowager Jiang Nanfeng had just gotten up.

Although she is already thirty-five years old, she has been pampered since childhood and has taken excellent care of herself. Her skin is fair and delicate, and there is no trace of time left on her.

Her appearance is also extremely beautiful, even comparable to that of the peerless empress.

Moreover, compared to the empress, she has a more mature charm.

However, her complexion has not been looking good recently and she looks a little pale.

Doctor Xie took the empress dowager's pulse through the bead curtain.

"Queen Mother, you're just worrying too much. You might have caught a cold, which has caused your weakness. It's nothing serious. You'll be fine after a few days of rest!"

Jiang Nanfeng opened her lips slightly and asked, "Thank you, Imperial Physician. I heard that His Majesty has also caught a cold. Have you visited him?"

When Doctor Xie heard the news, his heart tightened.

"Your Majesty has not summoned me, so I dare not enter without permission!"

The Queen Mother said expressionlessly, "If I let you through, it won't be considered trespassing."

"Go to Changle Palace first, and then come back here. Report His Majesty's situation to me truthfully!"

"By the way, Xie Chen, if I remember correctly, your Imperial Hospital Director, Doctor Cao, is over eighty years old, right? It's time for him to retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his remaining years..."

When Doctor Xie saw the empress dowager, he suddenly called her by her real name and said that it was time for the director of their Imperial Medical Bureau to step down.

With all his years of experience, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in the Queen Mother's words?

Just go to His Majesty and then report to the Queen Mother.

Such a simple thing.

It's definitely not worth the Queen Mother's time and effort.

He even tried to tempt him with the position of the court envoy.

As an old man in the Imperial Hospital, Xie Chen knew some of the secrets of that year.

However, this secret does not only involve the Queen Mother and His Majesty.

It will also involve the late emperor and King Zhao.

This can be said to be the biggest political whirlpool in the entire Kyushu.

If you are not careful, you will be involved in it.

He ended up with no remains left.

Xie Chen pondered for a long time before mustering up the courage to speak:

"Empress Dowager, I am already in my seventies, and I'm afraid my passing is not far away!"

"I also want to be like Cao Yuanshi, return to my hometown to spend my remaining years in peace and contentment, like a fallen leaf returning to its roots!"

When the Queen Mother saw that Xie Chen, a mere imperial physician, had rejected her, she immediately looked displeased.

She suppressed her anger and said calmly:

"Thank you, Doctor. If I remember correctly, you are an unmarried granddaughter, right?"

"That girl is pretty and gentle and considerate. Although she's not a lady from a wealthy family, she has the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family. She's a good match."

"I intend to marry her to Your Majesty as a concubine. What do you think?"

When Xie Chen heard that the Queen Mother was actually interested in marrying his granddaughter to His Majesty as a concubine, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Queen Mother, this is absolutely unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!"

Jiang Nanfeng asked, "Why not?"

Xie Chen said, "Empress Dowager, my granddaughter lost both her parents when she was young. She has no one to discipline her and is naturally vulgar. She is not worthy of being in a refined place. She will be laughed at by the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty..."

Jiang Nanfeng met Xie Chen and once again refused his attempts to win him over.

His expression, which was already somewhat unhappy, now became even more frosty.

She stood up angrily, waving her sleeves and saying in an unquestionable commanding tone:

"Thank you, Doctor. I trust my own judgment. I said your granddaughter is a good match, and she is."

"Alright, no need to say more, this is settled. I'm a little tired, please leave!"

Xie Chen had no choice but to leave Kunning Palace in disappointment.

His face was full of worry.

I looked back at the Empress Dowager's Kunning Palace.

I looked again at Changle Palace in the distance.

Although it still looks majestic and magnificent, the sea is calm.

But he could clearly feel that beneath this peaceful palace, there were already undercurrents.

In order to avoid being swallowed up by the coming political whirlpool.

Xie Chen decided that among the thirty-six strategies, running away was the best one.

Stay away from the capital!

Stay away from Dawu!

He just didn't believe it. The world is so big.

There would be no place for their two granddaughters.

But when he hurried back to the Imperial Hospital, he was dumbfounded.

It turned out that he had just left that morning.

Soon after, the empress dowager sent people to trick her granddaughter Xie Wanqing into Kunning Palace.

At this moment, Xie Chen already understood in his heart.

Now, his granddaughter is held hostage by the Queen Mother.

I'm afraid of the consequences, and I have no other choice...
