Not allowed!
Han Yunxi's' not allowed 'was sonorous and forceful enough to silence the entire room. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Who would have thought that this seemingly weak little girl would actually have such guts?
"Han Yunxi, you've got guts! Do you know who you're speaking to? "Lady Lianxin was the first to recover her wits and rebuke her loudly.
No matter how well-mannered Third Elder was, he couldn't stand such provocation! Only the head of the medical academy could order him around in such a tone.
This Han Yunxi was simply unforgivable!
"Qin Wangfei, Old Man didn't bicker with you just then for the sake of the Duke of Qin. Don't reach for a yard after getting an inch!"
No one expected the Long Fei Ye to have such face in the Council of Elders. Of course, Han Yunxi couldn't care less right now. When faced with patients, she only had one goal: to save them as quickly as possible.
Even if she didn't want to save them, she wanted to fight for the dignity of her own words.
In this world, no matter where you went, it wasn't easy to get people to take your words, opinions, and judgments seriously, remember, and trust them. Thus, there was a saying that strength spoke louder than words.
Han Yunxi raised her chin and looked coldly at Third Elder. "Third Elder, you're not checking Tianning's crown prince's joints. Could it be that you're afraid? Are you afraid that you're really wrong? "
"You're impudent!" Third Elder flew into a rage and slapped the table. "Someone come, drag this uneducated girl out for Old Man. From now on, she's not allowed to take half a step into Medical City!"
This girl, how was her crimes unforgivable? She just lacked a lesson! If he didn't teach her a lesson, she really wouldn't know what kind of place the medical academy was!
As soon as Third Elder finished speaking, the attendants from outside entered the room.
Seeing this, Gu Beiyue spoke up. "Third Elder, it won't be too late to kick her out after you've examined the crown prince's joints. Otherwise, people might say that you're bullying the younger generation."
The atmosphere was tense with swords drawn, but Gu Beiyue remained as calm and quiet as ever.
He spoke unhurriedly and gently. However, the words he spoke carried a deeper meaning. It was as if there was a needle hidden in silk floss, and it had a reassuring force.
These words left Third Elder with no reason to refuse. He glared angrily at Gu Beiyue. He hadn't expected that Gu Beiyue, who had always been clean and honest, would speak up for Han Yunxi in the medical school.
"Third Elder, in my opinion, Imperial Physician Gu's words make sense. We shouldn't let others think that we, the Council of Elders, are looking down on the Duke of Qin's Mansion." Fourth Elder spoke up again.
Only then did Han Yunxi realize that her every word and action represented the man behind her, Long Fei Ye.
Thinking of this, she could not help but wonder where Long Fei Ye was at this moment.
Are they looking for the Poison Sect's storehouse in the medical academy?
Does he know what happened in the medical school?
Right now, the busy Long Fei Ye was sitting on the roof, watching everything unfold with an expressionless face …
Seeing that Third Elder didn't immediately refuse, Han Yunxi hastened to say, "Third Elder, you don't need to chase me away. If Tianning's crown prince isn't poisoned, I'll leave Medical City on my own and never set foot inside again. If …"
Third Elder cut her off disdainfully. "There's no 'if'! Heheh, very good. You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, huh? Old Man, let's examine Long Tianmo's wrist joint right now! "
Third Elder's previous hesitation wasn't because he believed that Long Tianmo had been poisoned, but because he was hesitant to use such large doses of Numbing Powder.
Although he didn't specialize in poisons, he knew quite a bit about them. Long Tianmo's complexion didn't look like he'd been poisoned, much less hypertoxic.
His decades of experience couldn't possibly compare to a little girl like Han Yunxi's eyesight.
Seeing that Third Elder was about to examine Tianning, Han Yunxi hastily called out, "Wait a minute!"
"What, is it Old Man who's afraid, or are you?" Third Elder seized the chance to retort sarcastically.
"Only those who're afraid won't dare to talk terms!" Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with an undetectable craftiness. If she didn't take advantage of a situation like this, she wouldn't be Han Yunxi.
When it came to poisons, those who didn't trust her would have to pay the price.
"What a glib tongue, hmph!" Third Elder scorned.
"If Tianning's crown prince has been poisoned, then I'd like to ask Third Elder to agree to do something for this junior," Han Yunxi seized the chance to state her conditions.
She had no connections at all in Medical City, so it'd be best if she could use this chance to gain the favor of an elder.
Of course, she was 100 percent certain that Tianning had been poisoned.
As for whether Third Elder would agree, she wasn't so sure.
Unexpectedly, Third Elder's reaction exceeded her expectations. "Qin Wangfei," he said, "That's not how you negotiate terms."
"Then how do we negotiate?" Surprise was surprise, but Han Yunxi was confident enough not to be afraid.
Third Elder stroked his beard and said slowly, "If Old Man cures Tianning's crown prince, then you'll get lost from the medical community …"
What a harsh condition, but Han Yunxi wasn't afraid. She wore a smile on her face as she nodded cheerfully.
Third Elder gave a cold snort before continuing, "If you cure Tianning's crown prince, then what do you want Old Man to do? Just say the word!"
This …
Third Elder's method of negotiation was completely different from Han Yunxi's.
Cure him?
Ignore the diagnosis and only look at the results? As long as he was cured?
Now that he'd calmed down, Third Elder's shrewd side finally showed itself!
To Han Yunxi, curing him was the same as curing him of the poison. That was her strong suit. But Han Yunxi's heart gave a lurch at these words.
Oh no!
She was 100 percent certain that Long Tianmo had been poisoned, but curing the poison …
Fine, forgive her for not seriously considering the problem just then.
To cure the poison, she needed an antidote!
Even if she used acupuncture and acupuncture to expel the poison, she still needed an antidote. Otherwise, it would be impossible to expel such a large amount of the poison.
But the antidote …
At this moment, Han Yunxi wished she could slap herself a few times. Bone Poison was a completely new poison, and the detox system had yet to create an antidote for it!
It was easy for the detox system's poison pond to create new poisons, but it took time to create an antidote. It could take a month or two at the least, or a year or so at the most.
It wasn't that Han Yunxi was negligent, but that she was too used to it. As long as the detox system diagnosed a poison, it could cure it. Even if it didn't have the antidote in reserve, it knew the formula. Thus, she didn't need to think too much. When she needed an antidote, the detox system would provide it.
But this time … Han Yunxi had fallen for it! She'd fallen for the detox system she was so proud of!
"How is it, Qin Wangfei?" Third Elder was waiting for an answer.
Han Yunxi lightly bit her lip as she hesitated. Actually, there was no point in hesitating. She was very clear on the situation. Without an antidote, there was no way to cure Long Tianmo for now.
Long Tianmo, on the other hand, had been poisoned. If things dragged on for too long, he'd die in vain from the pain.
"Qin Wangfei, you came this time for a consultation to diagnose Tianning's crown prince's illness, as well as to clear your name of misdiagnosis. How about this, we'll dispense with the consultation. We'll have everyone present as witnesses. The time limit is three days. Old Man will allow you to treat Tianning's crown prince first. I hope you can clearly explain the pain from his stomach and give us a conclusion. "
Heavens …
This didn't just require a cure, but a clear understanding of both the "relapse" and the current "pathological changes."
As expected, he wasn't an elder of the medical academy for nothing. He was ruthless and formidable!
Under these circumstances, what was Han Yunxi supposed to do?
If she agreed, there was no way she could do it. If she didn't, Third Elder would never let her off even if she wasn't afraid of losing face. He'd never let her take a single step into Medical City. If news of this spread, she'd become the world's laughingstock.
Han Yunxi was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Qin Wangfei, what do you think?" Third Elder could tell that Han Yunxi didn't have the same confidence as before, so he pressed her step by step.
It wasn't just Third Elder who was looking at her, but everyone else as well. Gu Beiyue immediately noticed Han Yunxi's strange behavior.
Third Elder and the rest of the crowd didn't understand her, but he did. As far as he knew, there was no poison that Han Yunxi couldn't cure. Right now, she should be bursting with life and glowing with splendor. What was she hesitating for?
Could it be that she was faking it so she could take advantage of the situation to trick Third Elder?
Just as Third Elder was about to urge her on, Han Yunxi spoke up. "Everything will be up to Third Elder, but there's one thing …"
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi still agreed. If he hadn't been the one offended today, Third Elder would've admired this girl instead.
"A bit of what?" he asked with some interest.
"This junior isn't used to others yielding to me. Moreover, Third Elder is my senior, so you should go first."
Han Yunxi's attitude was very firm. She looked like she had her principles, but she was calculating in her heart. She couldn't cure the poison or cure Long Tianmo, but Third Elder couldn't even diagnose him, so how could he cure him?
In this bet, whoever went first would lose.
Third Elder's eyes flashed with ridicule. He thought, this girl must be scared. Today I'll make a fool of her and show her the immensity of Heaven and Earth.
"Old Man hasn't even made a diagnosis before esteemed wangfei diagnosed Tianning's crown prince as poisoned. Naturally, you should go first," Third Elder pushed the blame aside again.
"That won't do. There's no reason for a senior to yield to a junior," Han Yunxi grew serious.
"Old Man has it. What, are you scared?" Now it was Third Elder's turn to make fun of Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was about to retort when Qinwang Rong finally seized the chance to speak up. "Stop arguing. Saving a life is more important. Hurry and think of a way to calm Mo 'er down."
Third Elder and Han Yunxi looked over at the same time, only to see Long Tianmo in so much pain that he wished he was dead. His body was drenched in sweat and even his bedclothes were soaked.
"If you're going to save a life, why don't you two draw straws to decide who goes first," Fourth Elder spoke up.
Han Yunxi wasn't willing. Drawing straws was a 50% risk, but since Third Elder had nodded, she had no reason to refuse.
Lady Lianxin quickly prepared two slips of paper and placed them in the urn. She wrote "first" and "second," respectively, before handing them to Third Elder and Han Yunxi.
Third Elder grabbed the first slip, while Han Yunxi took a deep breath and helplessly took the second. The two of them exchanged glances before opening the slips at the same time …
