Chapter 257

If we say that this heart medicine is something even the Hu Region can’t concoct, it means that no one would dare touch it. Who would dare to examine it then?

"You truly are an impudent child. With knowledge as small as a frog’s tail, you think you know everything. You might not be aware that some poisons are used in treatments. So it’s not surprising to find toxic components in this medicine."

"Or do you have the ability to treat with another medicine? If you have a better cure, then I will admit to the mistake you accuse me of. But if you’re just showing off without knowing what true treatment entails, then you deserve to be punished for your arrogance!"

The doctor from the Hu Region spoke, making a big deal out of the situation. Even though the royal physicians of the Bai Region didn’t like Yueqian because of her superior knowledge, everyone was aware of the other party’s importance.

The status of Furen Mu was very significant to the Wang. Regardless, it was not proper to touch her. But it wasn’t they who started the trouble. So how should they behave? Should they let the situation unfold and let Furen Mu face the consequences, or should they step in to help?

In the latter case, if any mistakes were made, they would have to share the blame, right? This fear gave them a headache. In the end, none of them dared to move. It seemed they preferred not to oppose the Hu Region rather than help Furen Mu.

This is heart disease! No matter how skilled Furen Mu is, shouldn’t she not know the true treatment method?

"Ah, so I must demonstrate my ability to treat heart disease, which no one else can cure, for you to see?" Yueqian tilted her head, mimicking the assistant of Representative Ma earlier, who refused to show them the medicine.

Since they wanted to play games with words, why couldn’t she do the same? Don’t think of her as someone without wits. If they wanted to fight a villain like her, they had to be ready to face an appropriate response.

Yueqian wasn’t someone who would make the first move unless provoked. Moreover, if something was beneficial to her and her husband, she definitely wouldn’t let it go.

Earlier, when Yueqian noticed something was wrong, if it hadn’t been for the constant disdainful attitude of the doctors from the Hu Region, she wouldn’t have thought of retaliating this much.

However, his behavior was excessively exaggerated, showing no respect and openly belittling her. Was she supposed to accept this humiliation without having done anything wrong? How could that be possible?!

"You! What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is that my treatment methods cannot be disclosed. It’s a secret technique. If you want me to demonstrate a treatment that doesn’t use poison, then please leave."

"But if you insist on using poison, I will report this to the Wang for him to decide whether this use of poison is justified. Either way, you have to make the decision yourself. I am a person from the Bai Region. If I see something wrong, I must speak up. Moreover, my master is the Wang and the emperor, not anyone else."

Yueqian continued, showing no intention of giving them any face. Earlier, they had driven her out, so now it was her turn to drive them away. If kicking others out made them happy, she would be twice as happy doing the same! This was her way of exacting revenge.

"Hmph! You are truly bold. Even claiming to have a cure for heart disease, which no one else can treat. This medicine is so rare that even the Hu Region doesn’t know how to concoct it. It had to be bought from another Region at an exorbitant price, and yet you dare to drive us away."

"Even if I, too, would be in trouble if Master Ma dies, ten lives wouldn’t be enough to compensate for his. So what capability do you have? Your insignificant life wouldn’t be enough to make up for it."

"In that case, you must choose," Yueqian smiled.

She showed no intention of retracting her words and wasn’t afraid of their threats. This made the faces of the representatives from the Hu Region turned red with anger. Their rage could almost destroy the Bai Region at this moment.

If anything happened to Representative Ma, he would be the one to start a war between the Regions. Look at these arrogant people from the Bai Region! They couldn’t even control a single loud-mouthed woman. How could this country have any merit for the Hu Region to continue supporting it? Wouldn’t it be better to destroy it completely?

"If you say that ten of your lives wouldn’t be enough to compensate, yet you still use poison on Representative Ma, I don’t know how you can lie so skillfully," Yueqian shook her head again.

This time, the royal physician of the Bai Region couldn’t stay calm either. The situation seemed to have escalated to the point where lives were at stake.

"Uh, Furen Mu, I think..."

"Don’t speak! It’s good that your people are so bold. Fine! Since you are so capable, then you should treat Representative Ma. But if anything goes wrong, I will definitely report this behavior to His Majesty."

The doctor from the Hu Region spoke angrily. The royal physicians of the Bai Region started to panic, trying to calm down the representative.

"Doctor, please calm down. Perhaps Furen Mu misunderstood."

"That’s right. I think the royal physician should give her another chance. What she said was out of concern for Representative Ma, not with ill intent."

"Furen Mu, please apologize to the doctor. You may not know much about treatment, but if you are interested, you can collaborate on the experiment with the representative."

Everyone was trying to defuse the situation. It would be good if the representative from the Hu Region pretended to ignore what happened, and if Furen Mu regained her composure. If she apologized, the matter might end well. However, they underestimated the situation. How could this end if Yueqian hadn’t yet slapped the face of those who insulted her?! Instead, she just chuckled.

"Even the royal physicians of the Bai Region don’t understand my capabilities, do they?" She said with a slight sneer.

Her expression showed disdain for the royal physicians, who once couldn’t find a cure for the plague and had to learn from her. Now, they claimed there was no cure and that heart disease was difficult to treat. So, because she wasn’t officially appointed as a royal physician, she couldn’t find a cure?

Yueqian felt like laughing. Didn’t they already have experience with this? Why did they keep acting the same way over and over? Just because they couldn’t treat it, did she ever say that she couldn’t treat it either?

Even in the era she came from, there were treatments, surgeries, even heart transplants using pig hearts. In this era, she had learned from a divine doctor. How could acupuncture for treatment be considered difficult?

Her master would laugh if she said that treating heart disease was complicated.

Otherwise, why would he be called a divine doctor? A divine doctor is someone who can control life and death. If she, his top disciple, couldn’t treat it, then no one in the world should be able to!

"Uh, Furen Mu, this matter..." The royal physicians were taken aback. They wanted to prevent further chaos but didn’t expect Furen Mu to look down on them as well.

"Never mind. So, you have decided not to let me treat him, correct? In that case, I’ll wait outside. You can finish your work, and I’ll inspect it later." Yueqian stood up.

Next to her, Wan Gui was sweating profusely but still supported her. Despite her legs trembling, she performed her duty well.

If it had been Rui Beng instead of Wan Gui, she might have argued on her behalf by now. Yueqian felt a bit regretful that she could only bring one attendant, making the situation less amusing than she had hoped.

"Fine! You still have confidence. In that case, you treat him, and we will all leave," said the doctor from the Hu Region after hearing Yueqian’s repeated challenges.

He didn’t believe Yueqian could actually treat the condition. He thought she was just trying to scare them and would then run off to complain that they were using poison. They didn’t know if the medicine actually contained poison or not.

Previously, many skilled doctors in the Hu Region had tried to create this medicine themselves but failed. They were just ordinary doctors, not specialists, so they had never tested it and didn’t know if it contained poison.

In his belief, if the Hu Region, with its many highly skilled individuals whom he respected, could not learn how to concoct this medicine, then this worthless woman should not possess more knowledge! The consequences for Furen Mu after this would undoubtedly be significant!

He was waiting to see when she would confess that she was just being arrogant because there was no way she could treat it. All her talk was just to show off her superficial knowledge. If they let her treat the patient alone, she would only end up crying for mercy!

This was the thought process of the doctor from the Hu Region, not Yueqian’s, and it would ultimately lead to their collective humiliation.

The beautiful woman was unfazed upon hearing that the other party wanted to let her handle the treatment. This confidence had been with her since before she spoke about the poison. Without such confidence, she would not have interfered with their treatment at all.

 However, Yueqian found the situation somewhat peculiar. Additionally, Representative Ma was the only one who did not look down on her. He even invited her to share her opinions multiple times. Seeing a good person like him facing such abnormalities, it was only natural for her to step in, wasn’t it?

Moreover, she had a primary purpose in demonstrating her abilities. Previously, everyone thought she was just lucky to find the cure. No one believed she truly had skills.

Even the royal physicians had a condescending attitude towards her, which Yueqian could not tolerate. To secure the position of the First Miss, she needed to showcase her abilities more prominently, and this was a crucial opportunity.

As long as the visit of the envoy concluded successfully, Yueqian aimed to secure the position before her child was born. She intended to ensure a proper status for him.

With the status of the First Ranked Furen, he would have the freedom to choose his own path in life, free from becoming a political tool. Her child would be born into a good life and live as he wished.
