Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 712 Superb Skill (First Update)
The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Prayer for the Origin.

Time passes slowly.

Xie Anjun had never experienced such agonizingly long days.

Unfortunately, I can't leave now; all I can do is continue waiting here.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Xuanping arrived in a hurry.

"His Majesty is tired and has gone to rest in the side hall," Eunuch Li explained in a low voice. "I'll need your help to check on Lord Fan's condition..."

After Zhao Xuanping entered, he subtly looked around and was secretly alarmed.

Although he had heard that His Majesty's trial of Zheng Baosu today would not be a pleasant affair, he never expected it to turn out this way.

Zheng Baosu looked disheveled and haggard, his face contorted with illness. He appeared both frantic and timid, standing there blankly as if he had lost his mind.

Fan Chengzhuo lay unconscious on the ground, bloodstains around his mouth and nose, and his face was pale.

The two were relatives, and Zhao Xuanping had heard of them before, so seeing Fan Chengzhuo at this time was not particularly surprising.

only……

What are those two Xie brothers doing here?!
But now is not the time to ask those questions.

Zhao Xuanping stepped forward, first wiping away the bloodstains around Fan Chengzhuo's mouth with a handkerchief, then turning him over to take his pulse and examine him carefully.

However, the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"This……"

A look of hesitation appeared on his face.

Seeing his expression, Eunuch Li became somewhat uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Imperial Physician Zhao, how is Lord Fan's health...?"

Zhao Xuanping did not answer his question immediately, but took his pulse for a while longer, looking at Fan Chengzhuo with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

"Imperial Physician Zhao?" Eunuch Li spoke again, raising his voice slightly.

Zhao Xuanping came to his senses, remained silent for a long time, and then shook his head.

Xie Anjun saw his reaction and was immediately overjoyed—could it be that Fan Chengzhuo was beyond saving?

It would be best if we just died like this!
Eunuch Li also became worried, "What's wrong?"

His Majesty still wants to spare Fan Chengzhuo's life, to be interrogated in detail!
If this person dies, then...

“Eunuch Li, I’m not entirely certain about Lord Fan’s illness,” Zhao Xuanping said.

Eunuch Li was taken aback. "What do you mean by that, Physician Zhao?"

Zhao Xuanping stroked his beard and sighed deeply. "I suspect Lord Fan has been poisoned, but I can't be sure what kind of poison it is. In fact... I'm not entirely sure if he's even been poisoned. His condition is too strange; it's really hard to make a judgment right now..."

Eunuch Li was completely confused.

Zhao Xuanping is a top physician in the Imperial Medical Academy! If even he can't be sure, then... then wouldn't that be troublesome?

How can I explain this to His Majesty?
"Then, what should we do now?" Eunuch Li asked anxiously. "Does Physician Zhao have any way to wake him up?"

Zhao Xuanping was somewhat embarrassed.

“I can try to prescribe a medicine, but I can’t guarantee he will wake up. Judging from his pulse, he has been depressed and anxious lately, suffering from seizures and qi deficiency, and is already extremely weak... His sudden vomiting of blood today must be due to a great shock?”

Eunuch Li hesitated, then finally raised his chin slightly in Zheng Baosu's direction.

it is more than words.

Zhao Xuanping understood and didn't ask any further questions.

He went to the side and pondered for a long time before finally writing down the prescription.

But when he handed it to Eunuch Li, his expression still showed hesitation.

"My medical skills are limited, and this prescription may not be able to..." He didn't finish his sentence, but Eunuch Li understood.

He took the prescription and was about to turn and leave when he caught a glimpse of Xie Anbai out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly remembering something, he paused.

"How about... we wait a bit? Miss Ye should be arriving soon. We can check the prescription and see if there are any adjustments needed. What does Physician Zhao think?"

"Miss Ye is coming too?"

Zhao Xuanping was taken aback at first, then breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "Good, good! Then let's wait for Miss Ye to arrive! Perhaps she can find a solution!"

He arrived in a hurry and was unaware that Ye Chutang had also been invited to the palace.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanping immediately felt much more at ease—even if there were any flaws in the prescription, Ye Chutang would definitely be able to resolve them!
Relieved, Zhao Xuanping even had a hint of a relieved smile on his face.

"When Prince Lie was injured earlier, it was Miss Ye who came to his rescue in time. With her here, there will definitely be no problem!"

Many people were initially unconvinced by Ye Chutang, but after several incidents, they have come to realize that Ye Chutang's medical skills are indeed superior to theirs.

So now, even Zhao Xuanping felt relieved when he heard this name.

Seeing his reaction, Eunuch Li smiled and agreed.

"If that's the case, then... let's wait a bit!"

Xie Anjun overheard their conversation and felt both amused and resentful.

Do they really think Ye Chutang is some kind of goddess?!
Given Fan Chengzhuo's current condition, he's exhaling more than he's inhaling, and he might stop breathing at any moment!

Even if Ye Chutang has great abilities, it is impossible for everything to go as she wishes!

Putting aside others, she also went to see a doctor for her father back in the Xie family, but what happened in the end?

Father still died, didn't he?!

Thinking of this, Xie Anjun felt much more at ease.

Just wait patiently...

"Miss Ye has arrived!"

The announcement came from outside, and Xie Anjun's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively turned around.

Not only him, but several people in the hall also looked toward the graceful figure walking out of the door.

Eunuch Li immediately beamed with joy.

"Miss Ye! You've finally arrived!"

The moment Ye Chutang stepped into the hall, she took in everything.

Her expression remained completely calm, with a slight upturn at the corners of her lips. "Chu Tang is late, please forgive me."

"Not too late!"

Eunuch Li quickly explained the situation to her briefly, and then handed her the prescription Zhao Xuanping had just given her.

"This is the prescription that Physician Zhao just wrote. Please, Miss Ye, take Lord Fan's pulse and examine him first, and then see if there are any improvements needed to this prescription—"

Ye Chutang then turned her gaze to Fan Chengzhuo, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Xuanping assumed she was also finding it troublesome and couldn't help but say, "I just took his pulse, and it felt weak and feeble, like he was being poisoned, but then again, it didn't seem like it. I don't know..."

“It’s poisoning,” Ye Chutang said.

"What!?" Zhao Xuanping was stunned.

Ye Chutang's tone was firm and calm, but, but she had just come in and hadn't even taken Fan Chengzhuo's pulse yet!

How did she figure that out?!
Xie Anjun even let out a cold laugh.

"Everyone says that Miss Ye is a medical genius, her silver needles are incredibly skilled at saving lives, and in just a short time, she has become even more amazing! Without even taking his pulse, she can tell what illness Lord Fan has just by looking at him! Such skill is probably unmatched in the world!"
