Volume 1: The Genius Doctor's Hidden Edge 022 Search! The Genius Doctor!
In the room, in a mess, people were coming and going, holding water to clean wounds. Tang Zihao was anxiously guarding his father's bedside, looking at his unconscious father with multiple injuries, feeling anxious and angry.
"Damn it! If I find out who did this, I'll never forgive him!" He clenched his fists and shouted angrily.
"Fat brother, why is Father like this? What's going on?" Tang Xin quickly walked in and saw that there were too many people in the room. She told them: "You all go down first, it's enough to leave two people here waiting."
"I don't know what happened either, when I found Father, he was already like this." Seeing the basin of blood water being carried out by the servants, he anxiously shouted at the guards outside: "Where is the doctor? Why hasn't the doctor come yet? Send someone to check again, quickly!"
"Oh no, slow down, slow down..."
A voice came, and a guard pulled a white-clad old man in a hurry, the old man carrying a medicine box, sleepy-eyed, panting, obviously, the guard had pulled him out of bed and rushed over.
Tang Zihao rushed forward as soon as he saw the doctor and pulled him to the bedside: "Doctor, hurry up and take a look at my father!"
Seeing them one by one in such a hurry, the old doctor didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes, and hastily came forward to examine. At this glance, he was shocked: "This...this injury is too severe..." All over his body were more than ten sword wounds, some deep enough to see bone, others overlapping and crisscrossing, the clothes stained a uniform blood color, which made him feel both startled and terrified.
Seeing Tang's face looking somewhat off-color, the old doctor hastily took his pulse and was stunned on the spot for a long time without moving.
"Doctor? How is the doctor? How's my father?" Tang Zihao was anxious, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him vigorously, without regard for etiquette.
The old doctor suddenly woke up with a start, looked at him and then at Tang Xiang who was unconscious on the bed, took a deep breath and said: "If I'm not mistaken, Tang Xiang's body still has severe poison, only... this poison, this poison I can't cure."
"How could it be! You are the most famous doctor in the imperial city, how can you still not solve it!"
"Alas! This toxin is highly potent, but it won't be fatal for the time being. Tang's pulse is erratic, sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, sometimes present and sometimes absent, extremely abnormal. If it were an ordinary doctor, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to diagnose the severe poisoning in his body. As for me, I can only treat Tang's physical wounds first, as for the poison... Ah, young master Tang, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but if we can't find Ghost Hand Heaven Doctor to treat him within three days, I'm afraid Tang will be in grave danger!"
As soon as he heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, and Tang Zihao's footsteps stumbled, his whole body suddenly retreating several steps, stunned: "Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor? Who doesn't know that the Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor is elusive and impossible to find? Three days? Let me find him within three days? How can this be done?"
While they were talking, Tang Xin quietly approached the bedside and secretly took his pulse for her father. Indeed, the pulse was as strange as the old doctor had said. However, at that moment, she didn't know what kind of poison he had taken, so she could only use a silver needle to protect his heart pulse first, in order to prevent the toxic gas from attacking his heart.
After doing all this, she quietly put away the silver needle and got up to Tang Zihao's side: "Brother Tangzi, don't delay any longer, immediately have someone spread the news. For now, it's more important to find Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor!"
"Right! Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, we have to give it a try!" With her reminder, Tang Zihao quickly came back to his senses and immediately strode out, instructing the guards to spread the word that they had to find Gui Shou Tian Yi within three days.
"Alright, the prescription is ready. Miss Tang, quickly send someone to fetch the medicine and decoct two bowls of water down to one bowl for Mr. Tang to take!" The old doctor handed over the prescription to her and came to the bedside to examine the wounds on Mr. Tang's body.
Tang Xin took over the prescription and looked at it for a moment before saying, "Doctor, your medicine is missing one ingredient."
"What? What?" The old doctor was slightly startled and stopped his actions, turning around to look at her.
"My father's internal injury is severe, with blood accumulation in his chest, and poor circulation. If the stagnant blood in his chest isn't cleared out in time, even if a divine doctor came, he wouldn't be able to save him." She spoke slowly and calmly, seemingly oblivious to the old doctor's shocked gaze, continuing: "Add Safflower to your medicine, it can guide the medicine into the blood, unblock the meridians, and activate blood circulation to dispel stasis."
"Is there blood stasis in the chest?"
The old doctor seemed to be not very convinced, and he carefully examined again, but it was in vain. Although his medical skills were among the best in the city, he only diagnosed that Tang Xiang's internal injury was severe, but did not know that there was blood stasis in his chest. And how did this Miss Tang know?
"When the chest is hit by an external force, it presents a bruised color, and internal injuries cause blood clots to form, leading to difficulty breathing. If the blood stasis is not cleared, one's life will be in danger. As a renowned top-notch doctor in the imperial city, shouldn't you have encountered such symptoms before?" Because the doctor failed to diagnose this symptom, she felt displeased and, seeing her father's current state, didn't feel good either, so her voice dropped several degrees.
Having heard her words and re-examined, it was indeed as she said, not in the slightest different. He was deeply ashamed and said: "This old man's medical skills are not refined, his diagnosis is not meticulous, I am truly ashamed."
"Write down the safflower, before Guishou Tianyi arrives, my father will be taken care of by you. As for decocting medicine, I'll have my personal maid do it."
"Yes, yes, yes." The old doctor hastily responded, wrote down the prescription and handed it over to her.
"Miss." Xia Yu walked in.
"How is my mother?"
"The lady hasn't woken up yet, and my sister stayed by her side to take care of her."
"Okay, according to this prescription, boil two bowls of water down to one bowl. You must personally handle the medicine, don't let anyone else do it." Tang Xin instructed, handing over the prescription in her hand to her.
"Yes." Xia Yu took it and went out.
Tang Xin waited for the doctor to help her father bandage his wounds, then headed out. She happened to see Tang Zihao hurrying over and stopped in her tracks: "Fatty brother, have you given all the instructions?"
"I let them spread the news, but, sister, I'm worried that within three days, Ghost Hand Heaven Doctor may not show up." He said with concern, his heart in a mess.
"Don't worry, she'll show up." She smiled slightly and suddenly became serious, saying: "Brother Pangzi, today Father was harmed, we don't know who the murderer is or what conspiracy is behind it. At this time, you need to calm down even more. Now that Father is unconscious and Mother has fainted from worry, only you are left to take charge of the situation."
Who gave the kill order? What was the purpose? And if they knew her father wasn't dead yet, what would their next move be?
