Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 907 I am here to take responsibility
Doctor Chen asked carefully and nervously, and even gave Ji Wuyan a few meaningful glances, as if to say "it's never too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost".

But he asked carefully, but the other party answered very frankly and sincerely, with a bit of the recklessness of a newborn calf, and said lightly, "I heard that your majesty is ill, and Mr. Chen's old illness has relapsed and he is unable to do anything, so my daughter came to see him first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Chen felt a darkness before his eyes - why did this Miss Ji lose her usual cleverness? Wouldn't it be better for her to just say a few words like "Mr. Chen will be here soon" and then secretly send someone with quick hands and feet to the Ji family to invite the person over?

But the smart girl looks honest and reckless at this moment.

The doctors were all stunned. They looked at each other to make sure they had heard correctly. They immediately exploded, "What?! Just a little girl? What does such a little girl know?"

"I've never heard that the miracle doctor has a successor before... Doctor Chen, have you heard about it?" This was a more rigorous and serious question. Although he didn't believe the little girl in front of him who hadn't even grown all her hair yet, he still asked after careful consideration.

Doctor Chen sighed softly, and after a long while, he shook his head dejectedly and said, "No...right."

"You have a close relationship with the miracle doctor, how could you not know if he has any successors? If he doesn't have any, then he doesn't have any. Why are you trying to cover it up and tell lies? If something goes wrong later, who will be held responsible?" An imperial physician glared at Chen imperial physician in frustration, then turned to look at Zhang Dexian, and said in a malicious tone, "Chief Steward Zhang, your Highness wants you to invite the miracle doctor Chen Song. Now you haven't invited the real master, but you have found this little girl who is still wet behind the ears and doesn't even know medical skills. We...we can't let her in! If something goes wrong...we can't take the responsibility, right?"

"Yes, yes! Eunuch Zhang, His Highness did mention this Miss Ji, but he only said that she was allowed to enter the palace and rest and wait in the side hall. He didn't say that she could come to see His Majesty... Can she take the pulse?"

Zhang Dexian didn't know whether Ji Wuyan could take a pulse or not. Until now, he didn't know why he believed these two people and brought Miss Ji into the palace to complete the task.

It is said that Miss Ji is evil and can confuse people. Now it seems to be true. When Miss Ji patted her chest and promised herself that she would definitely save His Majesty, she really looked capable - especially when her eyes stared at you darkly, they were very charming. Moreover, with Mr. Ning San's help, Zhang Dexian seemed to have lost his own opinion.

Thinking about it now, I was actually scared. I felt a sudden cold sweat on my back. Just as I was about to speak, I saw an arm across my body. The wrist was white and slender, and there were blue lines on the back of the hand hidden under the skin. Zhang Dexian was stunned and looked up along the arm, wondering: Miss Ji... is she so thin? I have never noticed it before...

During this moment of shock, Ji Wuyan had already taken a step forward, passed Zhang Dexian, stood in front of the crowd, knelt down, and said gently and generously, "I am indeed not the descendant of a miracle doctor, but I learned some acupuncture techniques in my early years, so I think I can still help a little."

"Acupuncture?" An imperial physician scoffed at this. "You have the nerve to show off your knowledge of acupuncture? Who among us doesn't know it?"

"Of course...it doesn't matter if Chen Song comes or not. I heard that Chen Song has a magic medicine that can cure death. Do you have it with you?" The doctor raised his chin slightly, and there was a kind of arrogance in his words. Ning Xiuyuan's face was ugly, but Ji Wuyan quietly held him down. Ji Wuyan was not displeased by this, but smiled and said, "You are all masters of the medical field. Don't you know whether there is such a magic medicine or such medical skills in the world? It's just a rumor in the market, don't believe it."

The arrogant doctor raised his chin again and snorted, "We know that there is no such miracle medicine or medical skills, but we still thought that since he is called a miracle doctor, he must have his extraordinary qualities. I didn't expect that he is a coward who dares not even show his face... Ha!"

Ji Wuyan tightened his hands hanging by his side, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Zhang Dexian couldn't wait any longer. He cried out "Oh my!" and saluted the doctors, begging with a sad face, "My Lords, our Majesty is still lying in bed with his life or death uncertain. You are not anxious, but I am! This Miss Ji is a capable and sensible person. Since she said she can help, maybe she can really help. Let's let her give the Majesty acupuncture right away!"

"Maybe?" The arrogant doctor sneered, "Just because of 'maybe it can help', Eunuch Zhang dared to let a little girl who has not even learned medical skills give acupuncture to His Majesty? Then maybe it will be more of a hindrance than a help? Who will bear the responsibility then?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was about to agree, but they heard Ning Xiuyuan, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, suddenly said, "I will take the responsibility."

Only four words were spoken with such force that everyone swallowed the agreement that was on the tip of their lips. The young doctor was so scared that he choked on his own saliva. He coughed and then tried hard to suppress it. His face turned red, and in a corner where no one could see, he pounded his chest to slow down his breathing.

Ning Xiuyuan didn't look at him, but only at the arrogant doctor in the lead, and said, "Any omissions or mistakes made by Miss Ji today will be borne by me. If you are worried, I will write a document and stamp it with my private seal. How about that?"

The other party subconsciously took a half step back, then sarcastically saluted, "Master Ning, we are assured that your words are true. There is no need to sign this document. Just remember what you said now, and we will have no reason to stop Miss Ji, right?"

"Yes, yes... naturally."

"Miss, please." After saying that, the imperial doctors all stepped aside to make a path leading to the inner hall.

Ning Xiuyuan held Ji Wuyan's hand and didn't leave. He looked around at the imperial doctors who either bowed their heads quietly and didn't care or couldn't help but gloat over the show. He lazily withdrew his gaze and said, "What I said is of course valid. I will take responsibility for all the words and deeds of Miss Ji today... However, if someone deliberately imposes words she has never said or done on her, then I... will not let it go! Do you... understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young imperial physician, who had just recovered from his breath, was startled again. He couldn't help but burp loudly. He was startled again and again, and finally his legs trembled, and he knelt down with a thump.
