In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 195: A Sliver of Hope

"Miracle Doctor Gongsun, you have a way to save him, right? You must have a way, don’t you?"

Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s flushed face and the sweat beading on his forehead, it was obvious that his emotions were overly agitated and his vital energy had been stirred.

If this breath went astray, it would leave behind the root of heart pain.

Gongsun Xing moved swiftly, he raising his hand and dropping the needle.

A silver needle pierced Yue Mingxuan’s neck acupoint.

Yue Mingxuan did not even have time to say a single word before his body went limp and collapsed, yet his hand still clutched Gongsun Xing’s robe hem tightly.

Gongsun Xing let out a sigh, he took out the small knife he carried with him, and cut off the corner of his robe.

He gestured for the eunuchs to help Yue Mingxuan into the hall to rest. Then he crouched down and checked Shang Qinghua’s pulse.

After feeling the pulse beneath his fingers, he looked at Shang Qinghua in astonishment.

In all his years of practicing medicine, this was the first time he had ever encountered a sparrow peck pulse.

This pulse was known as the foremost among the ten deadly pulses, this Prince Shang was likely beyond saving. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Just as Gongsun Xing was about to have someone inform Shang Qinghua’s subordinates to prepare for mourning, the fingers resting on the pulse point sensed a very faint movement beyond the sparrow peck pulse.

Intrigued, he bent down and pressed his ear to the spot where the pulse beat.

After a very long time, he finally managed to catch that slight trace of pulsation.

At once, Gongsun Xing made his calculations in his heart.

Hmm, this Prince Shang truly had a tough fate.

Although it was already a sparrow peck pulse, there was still a faint life pulse hidden beneath it.

It might be worth a try.

He instructed the palace servants to light a fire in the side hall and set up a large pot.

After throwing several dozen ginseng roots into the pot, Gongsun Xing directed the servants to strip Shang Qinghua of all his clothes and toss them into the pot as well.

When the eunuch went to fetch the ginseng, Pan Lutong followed along.

Seeing his young master perform such a bold act, he could not help but ask worriedly, "Young Master, this... taking such a daring course of action, are you confident?"

Gongsun Xing thought for a moment before replying, "Mm, about one or two chances out of ten."

Hearing this, Pan Lutong nearly collapsed to the ground.

The reputation of Silver Needle Sect was likely going to be ruined by this.

As if seeing through Pan Lutong’s thoughts, Gongsun Xing smiled and said, "If I don’t save him, he will only be waiting to die. If I do save him, there is still a sliver of hope. Compared to a human life, the reputation of Silver Needle Sect is nothing. What’s more, if I, Gongsun Xing, were to refuse to treat patients out of fear that I might not cure them, how could I be worthy of the title ’Miracle Doctor’?"

Gongsun Xing’s words plunged Pan Lutong into deep thought.

He had studied medicine under the old Sect Master since childhood, and the old master had repeatedly admonished him not to place too much importance on personal gain or loss.

Only today did he truly understand the old master’s painstaking intentions.

For a doctor, the patient’s suffering should be paramount, while one’s own gains and losses should be secondary, only then could one be called a benevolent doctor with a benevolent heart.

Thinking this, he bowed deeply to Gongsun Xing, performing a full formal salute.

Gongsun Xing did not evade it and calmly accepted the bow.

In just this brief span of time, small bubbles had already begun to rise slowly in the pot.

Seeing that the timing was right, Gongsun Xing moved like lightning and pulled out all the silver needles embedded in Shang Qinghua’s major acupoints.

Thin lines of blood had barely emerged before they dispersed into the water.

He then called out to the surrounding eunuchs to remove all the firewood from beneath the pot.

Immediately after, he inserted over a hundred hollow silver needles into acupoints all over Shang Qinghua’s body.

To insert every hollow silver needle steadily, accurately, and decisively into different acupoints required an enormous amount of effort and concentration.

After completing this series of actions, Gongsun Xing was nearly collapsing onto the ground.

Pan Lutong who was nearby, hurriedly supported him and said, "Young Master... ah, Young Master, why must you push yourself so hard?"

Gongsun Xing steadied himself and sat down on a chair nearby. "Actually, I also have my own selfish motives... Now it can only depend on his fate."

He wanted to test whether his medical skills were truly as consummate as others claimed, and to prove himself by treating all kinds of difficult and complicated illnesses.

When Rong Qinglei saw Yue Mingxuan being carried back, he was startled and urgently asked, "What happened to him? Didn’t he just go to get some candied fruit? How did he suddenly faint? Someone, summon the imperial physicians..."

"Enough, save it."

The person arrived before the voice did.

Hearing Rong Qinglei call for the imperial physicians, Gongsun Xing quickly spoke up to stop him. "He was overwhelmed by emotional distress. Letting him sleep for a while will be better."

How did going out to fetch some candied fruit end up causing such emotional upheaval?

Although Rong Qinglei did not understand, he did not ask further.

Instead, he reached out and gently smoothed Yue Mingxuan’s hair.

"You’re really the one who makes people worry the most. Even going to fetch some candied fruit turns out like this."

The affection that seemed ready to overflow was obvious to anyone who saw it.

Gongsun Xing said nothing more.

After removing the silver needles from Yue Mingxuan’s body, he turned around and left.
