Ms. Doctor Divine

Her mother Ms. Lin was the Elder Miss from the Lin Family, which used to be an imperial family.

No wonder the dowries were kept - it was not a small amount. Her dowries were probably half of the amount in the national bank. After all, the Lin Family used to be the wealthiest family in the whole capital.

It must be Ling's men who were guarding the mansion. Ling needed a lot of money nowadays to build his own forces.

He could just talk with Ling about it. Those things were not important, when Ling became the King, he could get those things back again. It was just about moving the stuff to another place.

The King got the point. He nodded and looked at Gu Chaoyan. "Sure, I can do that for you… but…"

"…"

"But you will have to treat me medically, otherwise… I won't spare any mercy." The King looked relaxed, but he did give a very lethal look.

Since the King agreed, everything would work out smoothly.

The poison he had was rare, but she had the methods to solve the problem.

"I can do some acupuncture for you to test its effects," Gu Chaoyan said calmly, as she took out her needle bag.

The moment he saw the silver needles, the King felt very nervous and expantant.

He had been troubled by this poison for a long time and he worried constantly that he would collapse. He already got very distressed when Zhao Yiqiu failed to come up with any idea, and now there was hope right in front of him.

The King got really excited.

"Here?" the King asked.

"Yes, the poison affects the arms and legs, so what I need to do is to insert the silver needles into some spots on your arms and legs," Gu Chaoyan said calmly.

She was already cleaning the needles.

There was no other method in this era than putting the needles over the fire.

Zhao Yiqiu knew where the spots were, so he helped to lift the blankets for Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan put in the needles.

Apart from the spots on the arms, there were some on the legs.

There were few spots for the procedure, so Gu Chaoyan finished it quickly.

Then she took out a bottle of pills. "These are the pills for these two days. There should be one more prescription which I need to think about for a while. Please get up and walk around," Gu Chaoyan said.

The King got up.

He took a few steps and found that it was the first time in days that he felt strength in his legs. And his hands were not shaking as he held the brush.

The King let out a sigh of relief. He did not like Gu Chaoyan, but he was pleased at the moment.

"Okay! You can get a bonus!" The King shouted.

Gu Chaoyan showed a calm expression and said calmly as she was putting away her stuff, "No thanks, please just help me get back my dowries."

The King retreated, feeling that Gu Chaoyan did not know how to cater to the situation.

Dowries were one thing, but one more bonus was better, right? She was displeasing him after all.

Gu Chaoyan did not care about the King's emotions.

He already knew what she was capable of, she did not need to think about anything else. When her dowries arrived, she would pass on the prescription.

Gu Chaoyan had just left, when the King pointed at the bottle of pills and said, "Yiqiu, can you see if you can make the pills, and the acupuncture too, have you watched it carefully?"
