Chapter 284 Pulse Diagnosis
As Cao Xian spoke, he led the way in front, his steps hurried and his expression showed a hint of anxiety.

Liang Jin, Jiugong Zhenren and Mu Mu followed closely behind.

Along the way, Liang Jin remained calm and composed.

Master Jiugong's face was full of anticipation, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he had already seen the scene of himself being honored after curing the princess.

Mu Mu, on the other hand, looked worried from beginning to end, with a frown on his face, as if he was worried about the difficult disease he was about to face.

Soon, everyone arrived outside the bedroom.

I saw that a large number of people had already gathered outside the palace, including the prefect, garrison commander, and other major officials of Minzhou. They were dressed in official uniforms, with solemn expressions and full of anxiety.

In addition, there are some people who are dressed in luxurious clothes and have extraordinary temperament. They all speak standard Mandarin, and you can tell they are from the capital at once.

Looking closely, among these people there were eunuchs, female officials and palace maids.

Everyone gathered together, talking in low voices, worry written all over their faces, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Liang Jin and the other two had already learned that the person they were going to treat was Princess Kangning, so they were not too surprised to see this scene.

As soon as Cao Xian arrived with the three men, he wanted to arrange for them to enter the palace to treat the princess.

However, a woman suddenly stood up, stretched out her hand to stop everyone, and said sternly:
"stop!"

"Your Highness is a person of great wealth. How can anyone meet him?"

"Even if the imperial physician is diagnosing the princess, he must feel her pulse through the gauze curtains, and this must be done under supervision."

"Eunuch Cao, it is really inappropriate for you to bring people here so rashly!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xian hurried forward and bowed respectfully to the woman.

After a conversation, everyone realized that the woman was the princess's school attendant, that is, a female study companion.

Although this female attendant's position was not high and she had no martial arts skills, she had a considerable say in matters concerning the princess.

Liang Jin had seen many people like this in the palace.

They will never miss any opportunity to exercise the little power they have.

It seems that he is deliberately making things difficult for others, but in fact he is just satisfying his own twisted vanity.

Fortunately, Cao Xian was eloquent and after some persuasion, he finally made the female official who accompanied him understand that saving people was the most important thing.

The female official hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to let everyone enter the bedroom.

She explained the rules to the three of them with a serious look, and then slowly opened the door.

Cao Xian knew he was not qualified to enter, so he could only wait anxiously outside.

Liang Jin and the other two finally entered the bedroom.

As soon as I entered, I saw a man guarding the door of the bedroom.

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, an upright posture, and an imposing bearing. His every move and gesture shows the demeanor of a noble family.

He was wearing a brocade robe, a bright red cloak, a long sword at his waist, and a black gauze crown on his head.

This is how a guard dresses!
That is commonly known as the Imperial Guards.

The guards in the palace are also divided into many levels.

The guard in front of him who was protecting the princess with a sword was a second-class guard, but he was an official of the fourth rank.

Seeing this guard, Liang Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly praised in his heart:

"This is the true genius!"

The guard looked to be in his twenties, about the same age as Jiang Lengxue.

Jiang Lengxue was able to enter the fifth-grade realm when she was in her twenties. Her late husband lived to be over ninety years old and was very knowledgeable. They all called her a rare genius.

The guard in front of him was also in his twenties, and he had already reached the fourth level!
Liang Jin had seen many fourth-grade masters, but most of them were middle-aged or elderly. This was the first time he had seen someone so young achieve such accomplishments.
This shows how talented this guard is.

The guard stared at everyone with a lightning-like gaze and said in a deep voice:
"I will treat His Highness in a moment. All actions must be reported in advance."

"Whoever dares to act rashly will be merciless!"

There was a murderous look in his words, and it was obvious that he was not joking.

When Master Jiugong and Mu Mu heard this, their hearts trembled. Only then did they realize that if they were not careful while treating the princess, they would be in danger of losing their heads.

Liang Jin didn't care about it at all and remained calm and composed.

Even if this guard is a rare genius who only appears once in a century, Liang Jin is fully confident that if he wants to leave, the guard will definitely not be able to stop him.

But who would have expected.

The next moment, the guard's expression suddenly became stern, and he stared at Liang Jin like an eagle. He suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Liang Jin and said sternly:
"You are also at the fourth level!"

"You are not allowed to go in, get out!"

Everyone was stunned, obviously not expecting the guard to do this suddenly.

Liang Jin couldn't help but be surprised, frowned and asked:

"Why?"

The guard snorted coldly and did not answer.

True Man Jiugong is a sixth-rank warrior, and Mu Mu is a fifth-rank warrior. If these two want to murder the princess, the guards are confident that they can kill them before they can make a move.

But if a fourth-rank warrior attacked the princess at close range, he would not be absolutely sure to stop him.

For the princess's safety, he could only stop Liang Jin from approaching the princess.

So the guard said again in a deep voice:
"I'll say this one last time, get out!"

Liang Jin felt that all this was ridiculous. He was invited to the hospital for treatment, but when he arrived at the door, he was not allowed in?
Love can’t cure it!

His expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"How ridiculous!"

"You asked me to treat you, but I didn't ask to come here."

"Don't come begging me from now on."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time.

Suddenly, a young girl ran out of the bedroom. It turned out to be the princess's maid that Liang Jin had seen in the lobby before.

The girl held Liang Jin and said:

"Come in quickly, the princess is waiting for your treatment."

Having said this, she glanced at the guard:
"Don't pay attention to this big fool. He's just a stupid fool, like a puppet."

"What he said doesn't count. Just treat it as bullshit."

"Come, let's go in and treat the princess."

As she spoke, the girl pulled Liang Jin and walked towards the inner room of the bedroom.

The guard frowned, but he could only retract his hand that was blocking Liang Jin.

Liang Jin glanced at the guard indifferently, then went in with the girl.

Seeing this, Mu Mu and Jiugong Zhenren hurriedly followed.

The guard was obviously worried, so he followed everyone into the inner room.

The group entered the inner room of the palace and saw a luxurious bed against the wall.

A gauze curtain hung down, covering the entire bed.

Everyone could only vaguely see that there was a woman lying on the bed.

The woman was covered with a quilt, but she coughed from time to time and emitted a fishy smell.

It was obvious that she was seriously ill. Beside the bed, an old man in imperial physician's attire stood with his head bowed.

"The one lying on the bed is the princess, and the one standing next to her is Imperial Physician Zhang."

"Hurry, go and treat her!"

"Cure it, and there will be a huge reward!"

The girl said to everyone.

Jiugong Zhenren's gaze was the most urgent.

Whoever can heal the princess first will undoubtedly achieve great success.

He immediately became restless and wanted to step forward.

But the next second, he rolled his eyes, stopped and remained silent.

Liang Jin was already feeling a bit impatient when he saw that the people around the princess were so arrogant and had so many rules.

So he just stood there and didn't make any move.

finally.

Mu Mu said helplessly:
"I'll go first."

"Next, I will take the princess's pulse."

"Princess, please extend your hand from the veil."

Inside the gauze curtain, the princess heard this and stretched out her hand from the edge of the curtain.

Then, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from the gauze curtain:
"Thank you, my doctor..."

The voice sounded extremely weak and powerless.

Just from the sound, everyone could tell that the princess was in a very bad condition.

at this time.

The girl blinked her eyes and stood beside the princess' bed and said in a high voice:
"The princess is a precious creature. If you dare to have physical contact with her, I'll chop off your hand!"

Everyone thought that these words could scare Mu Mu.

After all, it is obviously unrealistic for a doctor to take a pulse without physical contact.

But Mu Mu was unmoved. He raised his hand and pulled out a few threads from his sleeves.

Then, Mu Mu activated his internal energy and waved his hand forward.

Several silk threads shot out like snakes, one end tightly wrapped around the princess' wrist, and the other end was still in Mu Mu's palm.

Mu Mu stretched the thread straight, raised his fingers and gently pressed on the thin threads.

He was actually able to determine the princess's pulse by the trembling of the thin line on her wrist!

Seeing this, the imperial physician couldn't help but praise:
"What a great way to diagnose a pulse!"

"Mr. Mu, you are worthy of the title of miracle doctor!"

"Please keep quiet and don't disturb Divine Doctor Mu from taking your pulse."

Liang Jin was surprised when he saw this.

He knew nothing about medicine and originally thought that Mu Mu was helpless, but who knew that he actually had this technique of diagnosing the patient's pulse by hanging a thread, and he could accurately take the pulse without even touching the patient's body.

This method of diagnosing pulses by hanging a thread is truly magical.

Only a moment later.

But Mu Mu raised his hand, and all the thin threads wrapped around the princess' wrists were retracted.

Mu Mu just shook his head and sighed:
"Especially since the princess hasn't practiced martial arts, her body isn't strong enough. Furthermore, she's been overworked lately and is already very weak."

"I'm afraid the princess has had a poor appetite in recent months, leading to malnutrition. The plague is like adding insult to injury."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang showed approval on his face.

Obviously, Mu Mu's diagnosis was basically consistent with his.

Instead, the girl urged:

"What is the result? Please tell me clearly!"

Mu Mu sighed again after hearing this:
"The princess is terminally ill."

"I haven't mastered my skills enough to find a way to save the princess."

"Please, find someone else."

After saying that, Mu Mu stood aside and made room for him, looking ashamed.

Inside the gauze curtain, the princess let out a long sigh.

The girl was even more dissatisfied:

"What a waste!"

"Substitute!"

Mu Mu was a martial arts genius doctor after all, but now he was being called a waste by a little maid, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

But after all, he has a very well-mannered character and will not get angry over such a small matter.

Jiugong Zhenren quickly stood up:

"Let me, the Immortal Master, exorcise the plague ghost for Your Highness!"

Mu Mu is no longer able to play, so it’s his turn to play next.

He wouldn't let Liang Jin go on stage first.

After all, he and Liang Jin are in the same industry, which is different from Mu Mu, who is an outsider.

Among peers, whoever is first will gain the upper hand.

Having said that, Master Jiugong turned his gaze towards the girl and sought consent from the princess's personal maid.

I don't know.

The girl didn't notice his gaze, but pulled Liang Jin aside and said expectantly:

"Can you show me the trick you just performed?"

"It's the one that can make the zither disappear."

"I just don't believe it. I can't see your flaws."

The guard couldn't bear to watch it any longer and could only cough twice.

Only then did the girl notice the urgent gaze of Master Jiugong.

She immediately waved her hand impatiently:
"If you need treatment, do it quickly. Don't delay the princess's recovery."

"Otherwise, be careful or I'll ask the princess to chop off your head!"

Jiugong Zhenren did not dare to neglect it immediately.

He was about to wave his whisk, but stopped quickly.

Because he saw the guard following in.

Recalling the guard's instructions, Master Jiugong immediately said in a high voice:
"Next, I will begin the ritual!"

"I will wave my whisk, take the Seven Star Steps, and chant scriptures to dispel the plague!"

As he spoke, Master Jiugong actually walked beside the princess's bed with the Seven Star Steps, waving his whisk and chanting scriptures in a confident voice.
