Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 9

by North Night (夜北)

  Imperial Physician Li’s words immediately elicited several nods of agreement from the other physicians.

  Lei Chen’s face was turning even darker. He was certain that Imperial Physician Li must have received instructions from the Emperor himself and that was why he dared to use an impudent tone against him.

  “Miss Qu is the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City and if anything happens to her in our Yan Country, no one will be able to answer to the Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City. When the people of the Thousand Beast City arrive here, are we then supposed to tell them that the Yan Country’s Crown Prince had sent a young and ignorant little girl to provide treatment for their Young Miss? Your Highness, if word of this leaks out, don’t you think it sounds completely like a joke?” Imperial Physician Li was highly aggressive with his imperious words, not believing for a moment that Jun Wu Xie would know anything much about Medicine. What could such a young girl at that age possibly know?

  Lei Chen was seething with anger towards Imperial Physician Li’s aggressive and challenging tone when Jun Wu Xie at the side suddenly opened her mouth to say: “After having diagnosed Miss Qu’s condition for so long, I wonder what have all of you concluded from it?”

  Jun Wu Xie’s question had immediately turned everyone’s attention back onto her in an instant.

  Volume 9

  Chapter 850 : “Peerless Genius Doctor (6)”

  Whether there is a conclusion shouldnt be up to what a little girl like that should be questioning us about. Imperial Physician Li said, his voice laced with contempt, not even looking at Jun Wu Xie at all, but speaking right at Lei Chen. Your Highness, Miss Qus injuries are no mere childs play and I, with all these other physicians, have exhausted our minds and poured in all our knowledge. I would like to ask that Your Highness does not add on to the turmoil we are facing.

  Lei Chen clenched his jaw hard, but he could not allow himself to blow.

  Jun Wu Xie had however continued on: If all you esteemed physicians feel that my young age makes me not credible, then maybe you can share with me your conclusions, and allow a junior to learn a thing or two from it. Her eyes turned ever so slightly, her chin lifted a notch. Or is it a fact that after all of you have studied and discussed for an entire night, there is still no conclusion?

  What does a little naive girl like you know! You really think there is room for you to even speak here? Imperial Physician Li retorted rudely.

  Oh? Since all of you are unwilling to speak up, why dont I do the talking instead? And if there is anything that I say is incorrect, I will ask that anyone of you to please give me some pointers. Jun Wu Xie said, standing up slowly, her cold gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.

  Miss Qus injury is inflicted upon the heart meridian, and judging from the symptoms, her heart meridian would seem like someone had used spirit power to shatter it, causing a chaotic flow in the bodys Qi and blood, resulting in an irregular heart rhythm. There are also varying degrees of damage in the other major meridians as the flow of spirit energy within the body is currently flowing uninhibited and is out of control where the scattered spirit energy is incessantly attacking at her vital organs and bowels, causing her injuries to turn more and more severe. Jun Wu Xie proffered slowly. With those words, those physicians who had looked at her with undisguised contempt on their faces suddenly showed surprise in their eyes. Jun Wu Xie however, just continued on to say:

  Judging from Miss Qus current condition, you gentlemen should have used the Heart Origin Elixir to shield her heart meridian, and added ginseng, wolf poria, roasted licorice and thistle daisy as supplements, and further aided their effects with angelica, foxglove, white peony and lovage to vitalise the blood. The effects of these herbs are gentle and mild, suitable for stabilising Miss Qus injuries, and would not further burden her already frail and weakened body. Has everything that your junior said so far accurate? Jun Wu Xie asked, raising her head as she finished, her gaze falling upon Imperial Physician Li.

  After Jun Wu Xie concluded her diagnosis, the room was suddenly filled with hushed whispers. The eyes of the physicians who were looking at Jun Wu Xie were all filled with surprise and shock.

  [The little girl had just entered the room for such a short period of time and she had only taken Qu Ling Yues pulse for a extremely brief moment. But she had just pointed out everything about Qu Ling Yues condition accurately and precisely. She had even been able to list out the elixir and all the herbs they had used one by one, without a single error! ]

  [That was just too incredibly unbelievable!]

  The colour on Imperial Physician Lis face suddenly turned a rather ugly shade. Never would he have thought it possible that the young girl before him would be able to make such an accurate diagnosis in such an impossibly short period of time! Even for someone like him who was a top ranked Imperial Physician so well versed in Medicine, would not be able to gather so many clues and indicators to make such an informed diagnosis. Being able to identify Qu Ling Yues injuries was not that difficult, what shocked him was that Jun Wu Xie had been able to even identify the kind of elixir and type of herbs that Qu Ling Yue had been given just from taking her pulse! Such an ability was really just too incredible.

  How did you know? Or did His Highness tell you? Imperial Physician Lis face was turning a little greenish tinge. Even if he was beaten to death, he refused to believe that Jun Wu Xies abilities went way beyond anyone of them had expected.

  Jun Wu Xie looked straight at Imperial Physician Li and retorted: And His Highness would know about all this? Or are you saying, someone among all of you here told it to His Highness?

  Jun Wu Xies single statement stuffed up all the mens mouths.

  They had all received the Imperial orders to come here and save Qu Ling Yues life. The moment they set foot in here, they had not taken a single step out of this place. Where would they find the chance to come into contact with the Crown Prince, and even tell Lei Chen about all of these?

  Chapter 851 : “Peerless Genius Doctor (7)”

  “Humph! The pot for the herbal concoction we gave Miss Qu is just there at the side and anyone who knows a thing or two about Medicine and is familiar with the smell of herbs would not have much difficulty knowing about what we gave her. Moreover, there are so many people here and words are bound to be leaked when Miss Qu’s injuries and the concoction she is given is no secret. Anyone who wants to know about it would just have to ask around a little and speak to the inn’s waiters and servants to get a full picture.” Imperial Physician Li said with a sneering laugh. No matter which way he looked at it, he did not feel that anyone in this world would be able accurately determine a person’s injuries and even tell what kind of medicine and herbs the patient had been given within such an impossibly short period of time.

  Jun Wu Xie wasn’t aggravated by all of this in the least and against Imperial Physician Li’s skepticism, she merely turned her body indifferently, to look towards Qu Ling Yue who was lying on the bed.

  Suddenly, she bent down at the waist and her hand gently reached out near the area around Qu Ling Yue’s neck.

  Jiang Ying Long who was standing on the side cried out in shock, and shouted loudly: “What are you doing to Qu Ling Yue?”

  However, Jun Wu Xie turned a deaf ear to his shout and her snow white hand swept over Qu Ling Yue’s neck at an extremely high speed. A dull glint flashed behind her fingertips whereby a silver needle pricked into Qu Ling Yue’s ear. At the same moment the needle pierced into the flesh, it was withdrawn in a lightning quick movement by Jun Wu Xie.

  She had executed her needle at an extremely high speed and no one within the room had noticed her actions.

  Jiang Ying Long had already shot himself towards Jun Wu Xie and had grabbed Jun Wu Xie by the hand.

  “Even if you are someone whom His Highness, the Crown Prince brought in, but with the current condition that Qu Ling Yue is in, she is not someone you should be touching. If anything happens to her, will
you be able to answer for it?” Jiang Ying Long said through narrowed eyes, filled with a burning rage within.

  Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes slightly and her cold eyes met Jiang Ying Long’s raging ones.

  Lei Chen was secretly afraid for Jun Wu Xie in his heart. From the aggressive and challenging tone that Imperial Physician Li had been taking against him, he knew for sure that the man sitting high up back in the Imperial Palace would have already relayed his orders to not allow him, Lei Chen, to get involved in this matter, and that was why Imperial Physician Li had dared to act with such impudence.

  “Oh? Then I would really like to ask this teacher of the War Banner Academy. For you to be so against me for trying to conduct treatment on Miss Qu, and not even willing for me to check further into her condition, aren’t you afraid that you might be missing on an opportunity to really save her? If anything were to really happen to Miss Qu, I would think that the people from the Thousand Beast City will not be letting you get off easy as well.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly, her face a sea of utter calm, except for the cold chilly gaze that she was staring at Jiang Ying Long with.

  Jiang Ying Long’s face froze.

  Imperial Physician Li opened his mouth to speak at that moment. “What wrong did teacher Jiang commit by being concerned with the welfare of his academy’s disciples? Isn’t a young girl like you exaggerating things a little too much to make us buy into your story? If you really possess the capability to cure Miss Qu of her injuries, wouldn’t that make all the most revered doctors and Imperial Physicians here a big joke? Our lifetime of experience in Medicine would pale in comparison to a young little one like you?”

  Jun Wu Xie replied unhesitantly: “Since all you gentlemen are seniors with exemplary skills and knowledge in Medicine, then if any action that a mere junior like me carries out is inappropriate, would any of you highly respected gentlemen not be able to tell? I have coincidentally here an elixir, and was thinking that it is perfectly suited for Miss Qu in her current condition. If all of you here do not trust me, you can very well take the elixir and inspect it carefully. If you find anything inappropriate in it, I am willing to be subjected to any punishment you gentlemen deem fit.” Jun Wu Xie nonchalantly pulled out a white porcelain bottle from within her clothes, and tossed it into the hand of Jiang Ying Long.

  Jiang Ying Long caught it, highly flustered. His gaze was filled with conflict as he looked at Jun Wu Xie. He did not believe that Jun Wu Xie, at such a young tender age, would possess any extraordinary skills in Medicine, but what she had proffered was an elixir, and that was not dependant on any skills or knowledge of Medicine on her part.

  Chapter 852 : “Peerless Genius Doctor (8)”

  Jiang Ying Long’s brows furrowed up together. As one of the teachers in charge of the War Banner Academy for this year’s Spirit Battle Tournament, he knew that if anything really happened to Qu Ling Yue during the competition, he would not be able to answer to the people from the Thousand Beast City. With the mentality of just giving it a try, Jiang Ying Long released Jun Wu Xie’s arm and brought the bottle of elixirs to come stand before Imperial Physician Li.

  “This concerns the life and death of Qu Ling Yue. As long as there is the slightest sliver of hope, I am not willing to give it up. I will have to ask that Imperial Physician Li help take a look at it, and see just what this elixir actually contains.”

  Imperial Physician Li glared at Jun Wu Xie briefly, his eyes filled with displeasure. He snatched up the bottle containing the elixirs and opened the cover, bringing the bottle to put under his nose as he sniffed at it.

  A light and faint fragrance filled his nostrils, and just smelling the scent alone made one feel refreshed and alert.

  Imperial Physician Li’s eyes flashed and he handed the bottle to the group of physicians beside him, for them to inspect it carefully.

  “How is it?” Jiang Ying Long asked.

  Imperial Physician Li glanced at Jun Wu Xie and a cold laugh erupted out from him.

  “I had thought what it could contain, and it is merely Heart Coagulating Elixir. There is indeed nothing wrong with the elixirs, but the Heart Coagulating Elixir is not something rare and it is merely used to nourish and gather one’s Qi and increases one’s concentration. Little girl, you dare to actually claim that an elixir like this is effective towards Miss Qu’s injuries, isn’t that just laughable? Elixirs like this, all of us here will have quite a bit of it with us, if elixirs like this can diffuse Miss Qu’s injuries, why would they need all of us here for?”

  As Imperial Physician Li finished his statement, several of the other physicians were in agreement with him. Although they did not find anything inappropriate with Jun Wu Xie’s Heart Coagulating Elixir, but with such a common elixir, if used on Qu Ling Yue’s current condition, would just be deemed utterly inadequate, a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood, and would not result in any improvements.

  “I am merely asking, if Miss Qu is given this elixir, will it in any way aggravate her injuries?” Jun Wu Xie completely ignored Imperial Physician Li’s sarcasm.

  All the physicians were shaking their heads at the same time.

  “The Heart Coagulating Elixir might not cause any harm to Miss Qu’s injuries, but….. it wouldn’t bring her much in the way of benefit as well. It might very well turn out just like those herbal concoctions she already had.” An old man with a head of white hair said.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded her head in satisfaction.

  “Since it will not bring harm but with slight benefits, why don’t we give it a try? Without even trying, how do we know it will be ineffective?”

  “That…..” The white haired physician paused and looked at Imperial Physician Li.

  Imperial Physician Li took the Heart Coagulating Elixir back from the physicians and tossed it to Jun Wu Xie. “It is good that young people have a mind of their own. But when those ideas strayed too far from the truth, then they will only turn out to be fantasies. Although the Heart Coagulating Elixir might have that tiniest bit of benefit towards Miss Qu’s injuries, but it will only be a matter of pouring a cup of water upon a burning cart of firewood.”

  “Whether it will be just a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood as you say, we will have to try it before we know for sure.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes flashed with cold laughter as she turned, unwilling to waste her breath on Imperial Physician Li any longer, looking straight at Jiang Ying Long.

  “Teacher Jiang, the words of all the physicians were clearly heard by you as well. Whether we will give it a try, will be your choice.”

  Jiang Ying Long was decidedly hesitant, and he thought about it a few times, but finally nodded his head in the end.

  “Since the Heart Coagulating Elixir can bring that minute bit of benefit to Qu Ling Yue in her current condition, regardless that all it achieves is just to nourish her Qi’s blood, it will be a benefit nevertheless. But I will have to state my stand on this beforehand. Since Miss Jun has so stubbornly insisted that the Heart Coagulating Elixir can treat Qu Ling Yue’s injuries, and due to His Highness, the Crown Prince’s grace, I will allow Miss Jun to just give it one try. But if Qu Ling Yue does not show any improvements after taking the Heart Coagulating Elixir, I will have to request that His Highness and Miss Jun to not further interfere with Qu Ling Yue’s treatment henceforth.”

  Chapter 853 : “Peerless Genius Doctor (9)”

  “Alright.” Jun Wu Xie immediately agreed.

  Imperial Physician Li suddenly spoke up and said in a contemptuous tone: “Teacher Jiang is really a patient man, that you would allow a little girl still wet behind the ears to carry on like this.”

  Jiang Ying Long could only smile weakly at Imperial Physician Li.

  After having gotten Jiang Ying Long’s consent, Jun Wu Xie did not dawdle on it and immediately poured out an elixir into her hand, while with her other hand, she made it look like she was holding up Qu Ling Yue’s neck and fed the el
ixir into Qu Ling Yue’s mouth. Impossible for it to be noticed by anyone, Jun Wu Xie had hidden a silver needle between her fingers and successively pierced it into the back of Qu Ling Yue’s neck. Once the elixir was fed into the mouth, she retracted her silver needle quickly, at a speed so quick and fast that no one would be able to notice.

  After feeding Qu Ling Yue the elixir, Jun Wu Xie retreated to one side, not intending to say another word, while the group of physicians led by Imperial Physician Li were pointing at her and whispering among themselves, seemingly trying to guess at Jun Wu Xie’s intentions.

  Jiang Ying Long walked nervously over to the side of Qu Ling Yue’s bed and was carefully scrutinising Qu Ling Yue’s complexion.

  Lei Chen was also nervously throwing his gaze over to onto the bed.

  Imperial Physician Li cast a cursory glance over and did not see that Qu Ling Yue was showing any signs of improvement but remained lying on the bed with her breaths still shallow and short. The corners of his mouth then curled up and his cold sneer became more intense.

  “To think that there would be people who think that the Heart Coagulating Elixir is a treasure, how amusing…..”

  However, before Imperial Physician Li could finish his sentence, Jiang Ying Long suddenly gasped out aloud!

  Lying upon the bed, Qu Ling Yue suddenly had her brows furrowed up and the fair skinned tiny hand lying at the side of the bed moved a little.

  Jiang Ying Long stared in disbelief with his eyes opened wide. Ever since Qu Ling Yue fell into a coma, she had not shown the slightest reaction. This was the first time that he was seeing her show any sign of stirring!
