Chapter 99: The Gathering of Three Flowers at the Top is Not an Illusion
On the fourth day of the sixth month of the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, a great storm raged in the capital... Regardless of whether it happened in history, there was rain in this world, and it was heavy.
Inside Xizhimen.
Qin, known as the "Tofu Beauty," is only nineteen years old, but she is already a mother of a one-year-old girl. Half a year ago, her husband passed away, and she was sent back to her parents' home.
Of course, I can't just eat and drink for free; I have to help buy the tofu.
Because she was beautiful, many families sought her hand in marriage, but those suitors were either too old, not good-looking, or in poor health. None of them met her standards, and she wanted to be more selective.
She did not remain a widow.
The reason is very practical: you can't survive on your own.
Coincidentally, a new clinic opened across the street half a month ago, and the male doctor there was also very handsome, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a straight back.
And she's very young.
Despite having grown a large beard, he looked no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, which suited her perfectly. She was willing to be his wife, or even his mistress.
So, taking advantage of the heavy rain and the lack of business that day, she sneaked over after feeding her daughter.
Doctor Qi was leaning back in his armchair, sipping tea and smoking a cigarette. Seeing his young wife, Madam Qin, approaching shyly, he immediately became interested. He straightened up, gesturing for her to sit down, and chuckled:
"Your presence here, young lady, is an honor to my humble abode. But may I ask what brings you here?"
Qin said shyly, "I...I am ill, and I would like to ask Doctor Qi to take a look..."
"ill?"
Doctor Qi asked, puzzled, "You look so healthy, you don't seem to be sick. Tell me about your symptoms."
Qin's face flushed as she said, "I...I didn't sleep well at night, and I had no energy in the morning."
She wanted to just say she couldn't sleep, but she was too embarrassed to say so.
Dr. Qi, a compassionate physician, immediately expressed his concern:
"Since we're neighbors, I'll give you a thorough examination... I'll use the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. First, open your mouth and stick out your tongue so I can see your tongue coating."
I didn't come here for a medical consultation!
Qin felt ashamed and annoyed, but she still listened to the doctor and opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.
Doctor Qi frowned and said, "Your tongue coating is also normal. Could it be... young lady, please extend your hand so I can take your pulse again!"
Qin naturally complied.
Doctor Qi frowned as he took the pulse, and finally shook his head, saying:
"Your pulse is very steady, so it's not a problem with your liver, spleen, stomach, or lungs. It could be a heart problem. Come over here..."
As he spoke, he patted the small round stool next to his legs, then took out something that looked like a stethoscope and hung it around his neck.
The Qin family is considering fleeing.
But seeing Doctor Qi's face, I couldn't bear to leave, so I moved over anyway.
Dr. Qi professionally put on his stethoscope, picked up the stethoscope tip, and pressed it against her chest.
Qin's face flushed red: "What...what are you doing..."
Dr. Qi said seriously, "Shh...don't talk, and don't be too nervous, otherwise it will affect my assessment of your heart condition."
Qin gasped twice, her heart still beating very fast.
Dr. Qi didn't mind, and after listening for a short while, he gave her a diagnosis:
"There's nothing seriously wrong with his heart, it's just that he overthinks and feels a bit depressed, this can cure that..."
After saying that, he took out an eggplant mold from the drawer and handed it to Madam Qin.
Qin said coquettishly, "I...I don't want this!"
Then there's no way!
Qi Ming picked her up and carried her into the inner courtyard amidst her coquettish whimpers.
Splash...
The rain intensified.
A group of Imperial Guards arrived in front of the clinic.
The leader looked at the couplet outside the door and recited it aloud:
"Needles penetrate all acupoints, Qi flows through the eight extraordinary meridians; to restore youth, one must seek a skilled hand; elixirs prolong life and fortune, medicine regulates Yin and Yang; why seek immortality at Penglai... What a boastful tone!"
Having said that, he waved his hand, signaling his men to come in!
Two weeks ago.
Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao, fell into the water.
Although he was rescued, he fell seriously ill and has not yet recovered...
"Nine Thousand Years Old" Wei Zhongxian naturally had to share the burden for his master. In addition to the Imperial Hospital, he also mobilized the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to search for good doctors outside, otherwise, if his master died, he would not have a good end.
The little sable maid in front of him was his trusted adopted daughter, Wei Ting.
In Wei Ting's eyes, the owner of this Qi family medical clinic probably wasn't very skilled.
If they were arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they would be scared half to death, let alone go to treat the emperor!
result……
"My hand hurts so much!"
"Oh dear, my Demon Orb..."
"It itches so much, it itches so much, help!"
"Doctor... God, spare my life!"
"..."
Wei Ting hurriedly led the remaining Imperial Guards into the inner courtyard, where he found his six former subordinates lying on the ground, rolling around and groaning in pain...
inside the house.
"Don't be afraid!"
Qi Ming put his arm around Qin Xiaoniangzi and comforted her with a smile:
"They're just a few lackeys. No matter how loudly they bark or how fiercely they bite, they can't bite you. Only I can bite them."
Qin was still afraid and trembled in his arms.
Wei Ting also heard the sounds coming from the boudoir and said in a deep voice, "Does the doctor know who we are?"
"This immortal need not know!"
Qi Ming chuckled and said, "Go back and tell Wei Zhongxian that I can cure the emperor, but I won't enter the palace unless he comes to invite me in person."
Wei Zhongxian? The Emperor?
Qin Shi trembled violently, her whole body went numb. Her lover's background was far too powerful!
Wei Ting glanced at his subordinates who had been subdued by the silver needles, and was shocked. He dared not act rashly again.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "I will immediately return to report to His Majesty!"
"Nine thousand years old?"
Qi Ming laughed, "Once the emperor dies, he won't even live nine months. Nine thousand years old? What a joke!"
Then, she sang leisurely: "The gathering of three flowers at the top is not an illusion, and soaring through the clouds beneath my feet is also real. Where are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors now? Only I remain young and eternally youthful! Go, go, go!"
How's this act?
In this world of "Brotherhood of Blades," he can act all high and mighty!
Because his martial arts skills remained undiminished.
Clearly, using the Blood Orchid to determine the upper limit of the world was inappropriate.
Black powder can be used.
For example, the Apocalypse Explosion last year.
Therefore, no matter how high Qi Ming's martial arts skills were, he had not reached his limit.
Wei Ting gave a signal, and the Imperial Guards quickly picked up their colleagues who were rolling on the ground and retreated outside.
After that, the adopted daughter went to report to Wei Zhongxian herself.
inside the house.
Qin asked in a trembling voice, "Good sir, are you really a deity?"
Qi Ming teased, "It's fine if they don't believe me! But Wan'er, you've just experienced my divine abilities, how can you not believe me? Would you like to experience it again?"
Qin agreed in a sweet voice.
Die or die!
Even if you are implicated by a man like that, you would be willing to die for him!
Inside the palace.
"What?! A deity?!"
Wei Zhongxian looked at his adopted daughter with an expression of utter disbelief and muttered a rebuke, "What kind of time is this? Why are you doing this? How many heads do you have?!"
Wei Ting was naturally very loyal and would not contradict his adoptive father. He simply recounted the details vividly, leaving it to Wei Zhongxian to judge.
"Silver needles, piercing through armor? You've already dismissed them without even showing yourselves?"
After pondering for a moment, Wei Zhongxian decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless, and went to personally invite the so-called immortal.
