Gu Qingluan chuckled and gestured with a “please” motion. “Doctor Du, please go ahead.”
Du Youran breathed a sigh of relief and had the patient take a seat.
The observing doctor who was watching them secretly sighed in relief too.
After all, the Guardian Princess was such a kind-hearted person; she wouldn’t harm someone over such a trivial matter.
Just as the patient sat down, he suddenly started coughing violently and then collapsed.
Du Youran’s face changed, and he quickly helped the patient lie down.
This patient was just like the one he encountered two days ago, experiencing a sudden onset.
Back then, he hadn’t had time to save the person, and they had passed away.
The symptoms resembled those he saw in his relatives who had fallen victim to an epidemic when he was young.
That’s why he suspected the presence of a plague.
However, each outbreak of the plague had a different source, and the treatment methods varied accordingly. I’wo days ago, when the patient’s condition worsened, he was helpless.
For the past two days, he hardly slept, searching for a way to cure them.
But two days was too short, and he hadn’t found a solution yet. At this moment, all he could do was stabilize the patient’s condition and save their life as best as he could.
He took out a silver needle and sealed several acupoints on the patient’s body.
The effect was mediocre, and the patient’s expression remained extremely painful.
The doctor who was carefree and nonchalant earlier now seemed to empathize deeply, his brows furrowing tightly.
Just then, a voice sounded from the side, “Seal these acupoints:…”
Du Youran’s eyes lit up, and his fingers moved even faster than his mind as he swiftly pierced the specified acupoints.
After needling, the patient’s complexion visibly improved at an astonishing speed.
This…
This was truly miraculous!
Du Youran immediately turned his head to find the source of that angelic voice, and to his surprise, he met the gaze of Gu Qingluan.
He couldn’t help but be stunned, and in his mind, he suddenly recalled that the voice had belonged to a woman.
So, it was the Guardian Princess who informed him?
“How did you… How did you know?”
The man who was fearless and composed in front of Gu Qingluan moments ago was now at a loss for words.
Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “I’m a doctor too.”
Du Youran opened his mouth in astonishment.
He naturally knew that she had some medical knowledge, but he hadn’t expected her medical skills to be so proficient.
“There’s no time to explain much now. Let’s attend to a few patients first. On my way here, I encountered a passerby who seemed to have been infected with the plague, and 1 used acupuncture to save his life.”
However, the number of cases was too limited, and Gu Qingluan couldn’t guarantee that her method would work for all patients.
Du Youran had already noticed patients with these symptoms two days ago, making them the most accessible cases for her to work on.
Du Youran’s expression turned solemn as he said, “Guardian Princess, please allow me to take you to see some critically ill patients.”
He was quite perceptive; she hadn’t explicitly stated her intentions, yet he already knew what she wanted to do.
Gu Qingluan nodded in agreement.
Du Youran led Gu Qingluan to a sealed room.
Seeing guards stationed at the door, Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Du Youran explained, “The patients inside are in critical condition, and the infectiousness is very high, so we have to maintain strict control.”
They were about to enter the room when a hurried voice rang out.
“Wait!”
Both of them turned around.
They saw Qi Tianyou, dressed in a light moon-colored brocade robe, approaching quickly.
“Qingluan, why are you here? Hurry back. If something happens to you here, how can I explain it to Young Master Lan?” he spoke urgently.
As someone about to be married, if she were to contract the plague, Royal Prince Lan might indeed turn the entire Tianjing City upside down..
