Asheng leaned in close to her and whispered, "Master, is he dead"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elderly man on the bed coughed heavily twice and then actually sat up. The two maids standing beside him rushed forward to help him up.

After settling down, the elder looked at Fang Jinshu.

"You are the Divine Physician Fang"

Fang Jinxiu didn't see anything special about this old man, but his illness was indeed serious.

Only that part about the steward was true. As for the rest, she felt the old man before her wasn't simple because she couldn't see through him. His identity was probably not as simple as an ordinary official from the court.

"Yes, Master, do you know what illness you have"

The maid beside her scolded Fang Jinshu loudly.

"Be bold, even if someone asks you to see them for an illness, everything must be told by my master himself, and he will tell you what to do.”

Fang Jinshu was quite surprised. Besides the girls from her own household, she hadn't expected any maidservant to be so bold as to act this way in front of their mistress.

So she looked at the maid who was speaking more closely, and after a closer look, she really found several things that were not right.

First, there's the maid's shoes. They are embroidered with gold thread and strung with pearls. Which household's maidservant could afford to wear such extravagant shoes

Furthermore, her skin was smooth and fair, with not a single callus on her hands. These were clearly not the hands of someone who worked all year round.

This girl is not a maidservant.

She's not a maidservant, she's probably the mistress of this house. Judging by her anxious and caring demeanor towards the elderly person, her identity is clear.

Fang Jinxiu didn't hold a grudge against the other party, she just stood there and smiled.

"Alright, then please let the young lady step aside so I can take the pulse of the master."

The girl glanced back at the elderly man on the bed. The old man nodded, indicating that she could go ahead.

Fang Jinshu didn't bother with polite greetings because of the other person's possibly unusual status. She immediately grabbed their wrist and felt their pulse.

When it came to taking his pulse, the elder actually spoke first, asking him several questions.

"Have you heard that the divine doctor can restore people's youth I wonder if it's just a rumor"

Fang Jinxiu put on a look of profound mystery, as if he were trying to appear incredibly intelligent.

"Truth and falsehood, all depend on human hearts."

"Since you invited me here, esteemed one, it must be to verify this very point. Why not wait until after I have treated you before discussing further"

The elder on the bed also laughed along, “It seems I was being too cynical, listening to Dr. Fang.”

If a divine physician could cure my illness and help me regain some of my youth, I would say this without exaggeration: as long as it is within human capability, whatever the divine physician asks for, I will do my best to fulfill.

Fan Jinshu didn't answer immediately, even though this was what she wanted to hear.

But since ancient times, people have been lowly. What's rushing to her isn't buying and selling. To her, curing the person in front of her isn't difficult, and helping him recover some youth is just a matter of throwing a couple of pills into his mouth.

Because it was too easy to do, his subsequent demands were likely to be difficult for the other party to fulfill.

So now we still have to pretend, pretend it's difficult!

"Master, in truth, curing your ailment is not difficult, but regaining youthfulness is no easy feat."

The old man on the bed naturally knew this, reversing time, turning white hair black, this was not just a simple matter, it was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven. How many people throughout history have been able to do so

If this alleged medical genius readily agreed and patted his chest, promising to do it, he would suspect that the other party was using the pretense of a checkup for ulterior motives.

"The Divine Physician is right, this isn't easy. But the Divine Physician didn't say it couldn't be done. Although difficult, you still have a way to do it, don't you"

In the pleading gaze of the other person, Fang Jinxiu first shook her head and frowned, then sighed, and finally nodded helplessly.

Having laid this groundwork, she had much more to say.

“Rejuvenating the elderly is a closely guarded secret passed down through our lineage. This powerful technique to manipulate the natural order comes at a steep price.”

The faster the effect, the higher the price.

Fang Jinshu finished her sentence and focused on taking the medicine box to start giving acupuncture treatment to the person in bed. The old man was stunned by her words just now, and after thinking about it carefully, it was also true. With such extraordinary medical skills, how could it be possible not to pay a price for its use

If one could freely use their abilities to restore youth, such a person would have long been famous throughout the land. They wouldn't be just known in the capital city today through rumors.

"Divine Physician, if I were to pay the same price, could you..."

Fang Jinshu felt that the bait had been set enough, and before the other party could finish speaking, she raised her finger to her lips, making a shush gesture.

"My lord, please focus on your recovery. This is a crucial stage, you mustn't speak lest you lose all your strength."

The old man, upon hearing this, quickly shut his mouth. Only then did he realize that his whole body was already filled with silver needles, and the acupuncture points around him were faintly warm.

Since he fell ill, his body has been weak. There's always a feeling of stagnation and oppression in his chest, which makes all his organs and viscera feel uncomfortable.

But after this divine doctor gave him acupuncture, the discomfort on his body surprisingly disappeared quickly. His body felt comfortable, and his legs and feet also regained some strength.

He looked at the other person in surprise.

"This, the divine physician's medical skills are truly impressive."

"I've seen countless doctors for this ailment and taken so many prescriptions, but nothing worked. Unexpectedly, today after being pricked by the divine physician, I'm seeing noticeable improvement."

The old man is quite humorous.

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "This illness is not difficult for me to treat. With silver needles, I can stimulate acupoints and regulate the internal organs, keeping qi and blood flowing smoothly. Naturally, you won't have chest tightness or shortness of breath again. Besides, I've written a prescription for you. Just take it twice a day, and in less than a month, your body will recover to health."

Hearing this, the elder was very pleased. However, it was only the initial effect now. Although he vaguely believed that the doctor in front of him truly had the skills of a divine physician, he still needed to observe further. It's always good to be cautious.

Fang Jinshi didn't say anything, including the matter of them previously mentioning restoring his youth. The other party didn't mention it, and neither did he.

After the checkup, he got up and left.

As he left, he still rode in the palanquin through the back door.

He didn't hear any news about people coming to the clinic for treatment. The next two days, no one came looking for him. Ah Sheng was getting restless.

"Sister Jinxiu, do you think we slipped up that day and let people see through us"

"It's been two days, how come there's still no movement"

Fang Jinxiu just sat quietly behind the medical case, continuing to fiddle with her herbs. The people of Xixia Wang were more cautious than she had imagined, but once they let down their guard, that's when she started to work her magic.

"No rush, it will come."

"The last time we went to that place, I thought the old man looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was."

Fang Jinshu said without looking up.

"It's Lord Wang from the Ministry of Household."

"He controls the Xixia emperor's purse strings, a very important figure. If we can gain his trust, getting close to His Majesty will be much faster than through anyone else." about what the madam was going to do, and watched her eagerly.Qin Qianqian also wanted to slip away, but under Zong Yu and Fang Jinshi's watchful eyes, she didn't dare to move at all."Qianqian, you j...
