Chapter 795: The Old Shifu Wants To Take Li Rui Away With Him!
Even Gu Li and the old master were there now and hence when Gu Li saw Physician Xuan, he immediately recognized the latter and said
"What are you doing here?"
Physician Xuan sighed in relief when he saw that someone finally asked him this question. The prime minister was just staring at him coldly.
He didn't want to waste any more time here and go inside the room to see how Li Rui will treat that man.
"Mister Gu Li, this old man came to me today with his relative. I was able to know that his relative was poisoned, however, I couldn't treat him. The old man was very worried and panicked. I couldn't see him like this. When I remembered how capable Lady Li was, I couldn't help but bring him here. I hope I didn't trouble you."
"You did."
Physician Xuan talked very respectfully. However, when he heard Xi Ying's response his lips twitched in anger.
But he could only smile as if Xi Ying had made some kind of joke.
Previously, he had not known that Xi Ying was the prime minister of the Imperial Court. In fact, before he had seen how capable Xi Ying was, he didn't have any respect for him at all.
But after seeing that night how Xi Ying killed so many shadow guards who had attacked Youxio, he respected Xi Ying because of his capability.
Such a capable person deserved to be the prime minister of Xin.
At the same time, he knew that his circumstances didn't allow him to raise his head and disrespect Xi Ying openly.
Xi Ying looked at the old man who immediately put on a very worried expression on his face.
"Young man, Can I please go inside and see my nephew? He is the only one whom I could lean on in this vast world. Let this old man go inside the room, ah!"
The old man should be awarded for his acting.
That was what his disciple thought. He never knew that his master could act like this.
Xi Ying frowned on hearing the old man's words. He wanted to refuse. Though the explanation provided by Physician Xuan seemed reasonable, he first wanted to investigate the matter completely and then let them approach his wife.
"No, stay outside. You will be informed after Madam will finish his treatment."
The old shifu didn't know what he could do after hearing these words. However, his eyes suddenly flickered when he saw a maid going inside the room with a box in her hands. The box was slightly open as she counted the needles in the box.
His finger trembled slightly and a moment later, he finally concluded that the lady inside the room was going to perform acupuncture.
No one could stop him from seeing it!
And hence a moment later, the dignified Shifu of almost ten disciples of Yantun valley was sitting on the ground and holding Xi Ying's legs.
"Young Man...let me go inside..please. This old man begs of you. My nephew..he is the only one left for me in the world."
The old shifu bawled like a child as he said these words.
His disciple Physician Xuan looked shocked when he saw this scene. His face didn't look good when he saw his master begging someone else shamelessly.
On the other hand, Xi Ying looked the most irritated and impatient person. He pressed his temples with his fingers as he thought that the old man was even more irritating than his son when the latter cried his lungs out.
He really wished to kick him away mercilessly but when he thought of his wife's reaction if she got to know about this, Xi Ying couldn't move his leg.
Just when he was thinking of asking An Ju to drag him away, the old master who was standing beside Gu Li said to Xi Ying.
"Prime Minister Xi, why don't you let him go inside? You can allow only him to enter the room."
Physician Xuan had wanted to say that he also wanted to go inside but when he saw Xi Ying looking thoughtful he shut his mouth.
He was not a fool who could not understand that Xi Ying was apprehensive of him. If he insisted to go inside the room then it could increase Xi Ying's apprehensions. In such a case, he should let his master enter the room. At least, one of them would be able to confirm Li Rui's skills.
Finally a few moments later, Xi Ying, very reluctantly, allowed the old shifu to go inside the room.
The old shifu was very happy with himself.
He disappeared from there like the wind.
Seeing his speed, Xi Ying's eyes flickered and he was now more firm on finding out if whatever he was feeling was only his suspicions or if something was really wrong.
He left and asked An Ju to protect Li Rui.
Inside the room, Li Rui had already started performing the acupuncture.
The old physician was helping her silently.
When the old shifu entered the room, there was nothing but pin-drop silence. No one really paid attention to him. Li Hua and Liu Lan were busy in making the medicinal paste their mistress had asked them to make. Except for these four people, there was only the old shifu inside the room now.
His eyes fell on the needles planted on the man's body and they were instantly filled with excitement.
With slow steps, he went forward as if he was afraid to disturb the young woman who was performing all this.
Looking at her face, he could see the confidence with which she planted the needles in her hands.
Even the old physician looked a little uncertain about the same and the young woman would have to guide him from time to time.
The old shifu stood a few steps away as he watched the whole procedure.
He was in a daze when Li Rui cut the flesh of the finger of the poisoned man and suddenly a stream of black blood flowed out.
That was the poison.
The poison was removed from the body.
He had read these things in the books only but now today he was watching all this with his own eyes.
The old shifu had spent his childhood, youth, and old age in the medical books. Learning acupuncture or even seeing it happening once has been his lifelong dream.
So when this dream of his got completed today, his eyes were unconsciously filled with tears. After finishing, when Li Rui turned around, this was how she saw the old shifu.
She thought that he was crying because he was afraid so she assured him
"He will be alright. Within a shichen, he should be able to wake up."
The old shifu looked at Li Rui with his blurry eyes.
His throat was clogged so even though he wanted to say many words, he couldn't let out a single word.
historical
He was in a daze. It was only when Li Rui left the room, did he realize that he was standing like a stupid old man.
Wiping his eyes, he looked towards the door with firm eyes and whispered to himself.
How could his Yantun valley miss out on such a capable physician!
'He needed this young woman in his Yantun valley. She will be his most precious disciple.'
