3rd persons POV
After all the guards left the room crown prince decided to talk about his health while liu yifie is silently sipping her tea.
"How did you know that I am poisoned? I mean you didn't even check my pulse "he asked his abouts to liu yifie.
"You must know that not everyone needed to check pulse even by observing you face and body doctors can tell the condition of the patient, but actually I alresdy checked your pulse when you caught me " she replied without any expressions
"Then can you cure me ? " he is trying to control his expression but his eyes have away his anxiety.
"Well I'm 90% sure that I can cure your poison but I need some rare herbs, I'll give you a prescription I can cure you after you gathered all the herbs" she did not want to prolong this matter as it may cause some problems for her identity and she started writing the prescription and gave it to the crown prince. Although he didn't have knowledge about medicine he knew the names of the herbs and its rarity. Though some herbs given in the prescription are rare it isn't difficult to him as he always collected materials for emergency purposes.
"I have all the materials that are needed in my mansion, when can mister start treating the poison " he asked as he also wanted to complete this as soon as possible.
"If you are not busy we can start the treatment now, it will take 3 days to completely cure the poison so I'll come to your mansion next 2 days"she replied while rotating the tea cup as she did not like the tea.
"I wanted to ask you a question from the beginning, why did you want to cure my poison?"he asked with eyes narrowed
"To be Frank I lost my money bag before I entered the city and my spacering has been ceased by my master because he thought I would run away, so I'm currently very poor so I wanted to earn money by treating you and also get a set of needles ready for the treatment" she said.
"Why do you need needles" he asked confused
"For you treatment, as removing poison also requires acupuncture, it cannot be only removed by medicines " she said casullay but it amazed crown prince as the acupuncture method is lost because of the war that happend long ago between the medical practitioners and spiritual cultivators.
She didn't understand why he was confused meanwhile hao'er noticed her confused master and said" Master, this people don't have the knowledge of acupuncture it was long lost only one or two people in this continent learned acupuncture and that is just basic knowledge, you shouldn't expose your knowledge here or else it will be harmful to you "
"Oh, ok how much is the treatment fees?"he didn't find any loophole in the lie she said and trusted her because learning everyone would fight for anyone who has the knowledge of acupuncture, since her master has trained her he must be very powerful and she cannot lie about it because anyone could identify it.
"Not much just 5,00,000 gold coins are enough but as I didn't cure your poison you can give me 2lakh coins now and remaining amount after you are cured" she said
( spacering: it is kind of storage bag, it will be just like ring but is in different dimensions. The capability of the ring depends on the cost and quality. Generally its space starts from 5ft×5ft to some hundred square feets. It can store any nonliving items.)
"Ok here take this space ring it contains 2 lakh gold coins"he gave her a extra spacering he had. Actually 5lakh gold coins is a lot in their time but as he is a crown prince he doesn't lack money this amount is just like a glass of water from bucket.
"Ok now let's go to your mansion now we can start your treatment " she said while standing up
Crown prince paid for their meal and headed towards his palace. After going to his palace they both headed towards his bedroom along with He Feng.
"Bring all the herbs in this prescription " Rong Hong(crown prince) gave the the prescription to He heng. After a few minutes he returned with all the herbs and a set of needles.
"Ok now let everyone leave the room " she asked because she dont want any disturbance during the treatment and also because now she didn't want anyone to know her knowledge on acupuncture.
After everyone left the room "Now remove your clothes and loe on the bed" she ordered him
Immediately his face became red" Can I not remove the clothes" he asked her . The people in this era are quite conservative and won't show their bodies to anyone but their wife's or husbands. So he also didn't want to show his body to others.
"Why?? You dont need to remove your trousers and it's not like we are of different genders I'm also a man why are you hesitating, we don't have much time quickly remove or else I'll remove your clothes " she warned him
After her warning he quickly removed his clothes and lied on the bed
She placed the needles on his acupuncture pins of his body and started her treatment. Though this treatment is not difficult it requires more energy but this body is so weak so soon sweat started forming on her forehead. After 1 hour the treatment came to an end and she sat in a chair and started concocting the medicine. She gave the medicine to crown prince and asked him to drink. After another 1 hour the medicine showed some effect.
She asked him to start meditating and see if there are any changes in his body. After few minutes of meditating he opened his eyes and said " Yes I can feel the changes ,now it is flowing freely and I can absorb the energy , thank you soo such"
"Its ok it's my job" she said some instructions and left the palace
