The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 109 Depression Syndrome

It was not yet 9 o'clock when Xue Zhiyu and her companion arrived at the entrance of Nian Xi Hall by carriage. Several shops nearby had already started to sort their goods.

The coachman said respectfully: "Miss, we are here."

"Well, I see."

Xue Zhiyu lifted the car curtain and saw that many people were already waiting outside Nian Xi Hall. It seemed that everyone had the same goal.

After getting off the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage into the alley next to it.

At this time, the door was already full of people, all from all corners of the world, dressed differently. They were all unimpressed when they saw that there was a woman standing with them.

I guess he came to see a doctor.

Xue Zhiyu didn't care about everyone's ignoring her. She would not just stand there stupidly. She found a seat in a teahouse nearby and sat down to wait.

Soon, the closed door of Nian Xi Hall opened, and Mo Chenru walked out first. He glanced at the people outside, coughed a few times and said, "First of all, thank you all for coming to participate in this competition. Whoever can beat me will get the one million taels."

Although everyone knew about it before, but when they heard Mo Chenru say it himself, they would be surprised if they were not excited, and they couldn't help but rub their hands in anticipation.

"I happen to have a few patients here, let's see who can treat them quickly and well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chenru stepped back and saw an old man being pushed out by a servant, his hands shaking uncontrollably.

Xue Zhiyu frowned, not knowing what she was thinking of. She walked over and was about to say something when a tall man blocked her way, looking at the old man with confidence in his eyes.

"It's just tremors caused by excessive fatigue. I'll give him a few injections and he'll be fine."

After saying that, he picked up the prepared needle bag and started to prick the acupuncture points.

"Wait a moment!!"

The woman's voice was particularly loud in the crowd. Everyone looked over, and when they saw clearly who was speaking, the disdain in their eyes became even greater.

"Little girl, you are not here to play. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"That's right. Do you know who this guy is? He's a famous acupuncturist. Do you know what acupuncture is? I think you should just go back to doing needlework."

"Little girl, you'd better not run around. Just stay at home and wait to get married."

"Doctor Gao, please ignore her. We still want to see your technique."

Listening to everyone putting her down one after another, Xue Zhiyu's emotions did not fluctuate much. She just glanced coldly at the man who spoke.

The few people who had spoken felt their whole bodies tremble, and subconsciously took a step back, shut their mouths and stopped talking.

She is just a little girl, why does she have such a terrifying aura?

Xue Zhiyu walked to the old man, looked at the attendant who pushed him out and asked, "Tell me about the old man's situation."

"The old man suddenly developed this condition. A month ago, his hands suddenly began to tremble and he couldn't control it. It was more severe when he was nervous, but it disappeared after he slept."

“That must be Parkinson’s.”

Mo Chenru came over and asked, "What is Parkinson's?"

“Parkinson’s disease is simply a degenerative disease of the nervous system in the elderly.”

Mo Chenru was confused. What nerves and systems? Where did Miss Xue learn these words?

Doctor Gao, who was blocking her, snorted coldly, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. I have never heard of these nerves. You'd better move aside and don't delay my acupuncture."

"You've never heard of it, but you're still so proud of it. That only shows that you're ignorant. Do you know what it means that there are always people better than you? I think you probably don't know. After all, if you can say you don't know it as a matter of course, you're not smart enough."

Doctor Gao was so angry at these words that his face turned red. He pointed at Xue Zhiyu and was unable to utter a word. In the end, he could only utter a few words.

"I want to see what you are capable of!"

"Then you just watch carefully."

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she ignored other people's comments and reached out to hold the old man's hand. Fortunately, it was just a minor illness.

He picked up silver needles from the needle bag and inserted the needles into the Baihui, Sishencong, Fengchi, Hegu, Taichong and Yanglingquan points respectively.

Sure enough, not long after the acupuncture, the old man's hands and feet stopped shaking.

The old man sitting in the wheelchair didn't actually have much hope. Seeing that the girl was so young, he didn't discourage her. Anyway, he was destined to never be able to live like ordinary people.

Who would have known that after these few injections, he felt that his hands and feet were no longer shaking uncontrollably, and hope suddenly ignited in his dark eyes.

He excitedly raised his head and looked at Xue Zhiyu, "Miss, thank you so much. Whatever you want, I, an old man, can satisfy you!"

Xue Zhiyu seemed not to hear the old man's words and continued to feel his pulse.

"For Qi and blood deficiency syndrome, in addition to acupuncture, you can pick up a prescription. I will write it down later. If you have nothing to do, you can practice a piece of Ba Duan Jin. I will also write it down."

After taking the pulse, Xue Zhiyu walked straight into Nian Xi Hall, picked up the brush from the table, thought for a while, and then quickly wrote the prescription. She also simply drew the Eight Section Brocade.

The people at the door looked at her operation as if they were frozen in time.

Although Doctor Gao was not convinced, he had to admit that the little girl had some skills. He could tell from the few injections she gave that she was not doing it randomly.

Mo Chenru watched her writing gracefully, his eyes full of determination and confidence, as if this was just an ordinary illness to her.

Xue Zhiyu didn't know what everyone was thinking, so she handed the Eight-Section Brocade with the prescription she had drawn to Mo Chenru, "Here, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at it yourself."

Mo Chenru took it curiously, and when he saw the herbs in the prescription, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

However, after reading the prescription, Doctor Gao burst out laughing on the spot, pointing at Xue Zhiyu and mockingly saying, "I thought it was something else, but it's just an ordinary prescription for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. Little girl, you should go back and study for a few more years!"

Then he turned around and looked at the doctors waiting behind him, and held up the prescription he had taken from Mo Chenru, "Look at this, what a rubbish prescription this is, it's really harmful to people."

Xue Zhiyu was very unhappy with Doctor Gao's attitude. She hated people telling her what to do the most. She secretly slipped a piece of Poria cocos from her sleeve behind his knee.

Doctor Gao only felt a sharp pain behind his knee and fell forward to his knees, his cry of pain echoing throughout the street.

"Damn it! Who the hell is plotting against me?"

Xue Zhiyu turned a deaf ear to the cry of pain and continued, "Parkinson's disease is classified into many types of symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine, including wind-yang internal movement syndrome, phlegm-heat wind movement syndrome, qi and blood deficiency syndrome, marrow sea deficiency syndrome, and yang qi deficiency syndrome. The old man suffers from qi and blood deficiency, so the ginseng nourishing soup is the most suitable."

The old man's eyes flashed with approval. He picked up the Eight-Section Brocade that Xue Zhiyu had drawn, nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and looked at Mo Chenru and said, "Since this girl cured me, she wins this round."

Mo Chenru also nodded and said respectfully to the old man: "Yes, Miss Xue performed well. Miss Xue wins this round."

Doctor Gao sneered unwillingly. Every doctor present was more experienced than her, and he didn't believe that this little girl would be so lucky.

The old man handed over the prescriptions and asked the servants behind him to go in and get the medicine. Mo Chenru continued, "The next round is for this young man to see the doctor. This time I will also join in. Whoever of you can come up with a more reliable treatment method, I, Mo, will hand over the one million taels with both hands."

Behind him, a young man in sky blue brocade clothes walked out slowly from Nian Xi Hall. He had delicate features, but his face was dull and colorless, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a dark spot under his eyelids.

"This young man has dull eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and droopy shoulders. I think this must be depression. He can go home and take care of himself."

A middle-aged man in a gray robe stroked his beard, walked out of the crowd and spoke, his eyes full of confidence.

"Oh my God, isn't he Doctor Lin who diagnoses diseases by looking at faces? Even he is here?"

"It's true that seeing is believing. It seems that Doctor Lin is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

"I think Doctor Lin will win this time. Although the girl has some skills, she was probably not even born when Doctor Lin started practicing medicine."

"That's right, women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, why come out to join in the fun!"

"It's obvious that they are not a decent family."

Mo Chenru listened to the increasingly excessive words directed at Xue Zhiyu by the people around him, his eyes filled with anger. He walked forward to protect the person behind him and glanced at the man who was still talking.

"You must all be doctors with many years of experience. Why do you have to speak so harshly to a woman? We in Nian Xi Hall do not welcome people who gossip."

Now everyone fell completely silent. No one dared to say another word to Xue Zhiyu. They all turned their heads away. After all, no one wanted to offend Nian Xitang.

Mo Chenru turned to look at Xue Zhiyu, his tone no longer harsh, and he said gently, "Miss Xue, what do you think?"

"I don't agree with the doctor's point of view. This is indeed depression, but how can you let the patient go home and recuperate on his own? This will only make the condition worse!"

She has seen too many news reports of people committing suicide due to depression. It was because they were not taken seriously that they ended up like that.

Doctor Lin didn't take Xue Zhiyu's words to heart at all. Instead, he sneered and said, "Little girl, you don't know much about depression. This kind of disease can only be treated by self-regulation. There is no other way."

"Oh, that's your incompetence. Don't lump everyone together with yourself."

"Yellow-mouthed kid!"

Xue Zhiyu didn't care how Doctor Lin scolded her in his heart. She looked at the young man seriously and said, "Stretch out your hand."

After taking the patient's pulse, Xue Zhiyu had a rough idea in her mind. She walked into Nian Xi Tang again, picked up the brush and started writing.

Mo Chenru walked in this time, glanced at her prescription, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you find out?"

"This young man should be suffering from a severe case of depression, with liver qi stagnation. My prescription can help him relieve liver qi stagnation. What do you think?"

"I think the same as you, but I don't think taking medicine is a perfect solution. We need to know where his depression comes from."

After Xue Zhiyu finished writing, she subconsciously blew away the ink on the paper. After hearing what Mo Chenru said, she nodded and said, "Indeed, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

The two walked out together. Doctor Lin seemed to be confident of victory. He saw from the corner of his eye that Xue Zhiyu actually ran in to write a prescription, and felt a little disdainful.

In his opinion, there is no need to write a prescription at all!

Xue Zhiyu handed the prescription to the boy and told him, "Don't give up on yourself. In addition to taking medicine on time, you can find something you are interested in. If you feel uncomfortable, you can talk to a friend. It is best to exercise for half an hour every day, such as running or archery."

The young man still didn't react much. After taking the prescription, he said thank you and turned to walk out of the crowd, his eyes like a pool of dead water.

Xue Zhiyu was worried about his condition, so she didn't care about the difference between men and women. She reached out and pulled him over, leading him into the pharmacy.

"Girl, please let go."

There was no trace of emotion in the boy's calm tone, as if he had taken everything lightly.

Xue Zhiyu ignored him and directly pulled him into the inner hall. The shopkeeper next to them was about to stop them, but after seeing Mo Chenru's eyes, he withdrew his hand.

After arriving at the inner hall, Xue Zhiyu asked the people outside not to disturb them. Seeing the boy's expression, she asked Xiao Qi in her mind, "Give me the information of this boy."

"Know it."

Soon, a paragraph of text emerged in her mind. She took a quick glance at it and knew the origin of the boy's depression.

"Do you like folk art?"

When talking about the things he liked, the boy's eyes showed a little more warmth, and then returned to calm again.

“Why don’t you go for it?”

"it's useless."

Since he came in, the boy finally spoke, but there was not much change on his face.

Xue Zhiyu also learned from the information in her mind that the boy's family had been engaged in literary studies for generations, and they would naturally be unwilling to have such a precious son do such a low-class job.

But the boy has been self-taught in folk art since he was young, and even the owner of the folk art class wanted to take him in as an apprentice.

"Then prove to your father that you have the ability to succeed in this industry."

The young man didn't understand, he frowned and looked up at Xue Zhiyu.

According to the information Xiaoqi gave her, Qian'an's class will have a performance at the Quyi Pavilion tomorrow morning, which is the best opportunity.

It seems she has to stay in Qiyue for one more day.

"Tomorrow morning, go to the entrance of the Opera House and wait for me. I will naturally find a way to convince your father."

When the young man heard this, he probably knew what she was thinking. He shook his head and said nothing.

"You do not trust me?"

".....No, my father would never come to such a place."

Xue Zhiyu patted his shoulder and said confidently, "Since you believe in me, don't worry about it. Just wait for me at the Quyi Pavilion tomorrow morning."

The boy kept silent, but for some reason he felt a little more hopeful.

Xue Zhiyu saw this and then she opened the curtain, signaling the young man that he could go out with her.

Mo Chenru didn't know what the two were talking about, and he was inexplicably curious. After seeing the two come out, he saw that the young man still had a calm expression.

He walked over to Xue Zhiyu and asked, "How is it?"

"One million taels, wait and give it to me."

Mo Chenru didn't react until he saw her confident look, her beautiful almond eyes filled with pride and a hint of unintentional playfulness.

There was a hint of smile in his tone. He glanced outside and lowered his voice and asked, "Are you so confident?"

"Of course, I'm not just a talker, just prepare your money."

Xue Zhiyu ignored how people outside viewed her and walked out of Nian Xitang with Jun Xian.

Doctor Lin took one look and immediately laughed, "Sure enough, I won this time."

Several doctors around also offered their congratulations, as if they had already received the one million taels of silver.

At this time, Mo Chenru said indifferently: "The winner is still undecided, I will announce the result when the time comes." After that, he walked straight back to Nian Xi Hall, no longer caring about the expressions of everyone behind him.

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, waking Dr. Lin from his beautiful dream from head to toe.

Doctor Lin felt ashamed and left with a flick of his sleeves.

He wanted to see what else that little girl could do!
