Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Ye Chengzhi’s Master

It was not difficult for Ye Chengzhi to remove the gout, but to his surprise, Nanny Liu’s nape kept bleeding after the surgery. It was so serious that her blood even imbued the whole cloth. Seeing this, Hong Yu was totally panicked.

She pointed at Ye Chengzhi, “You’ve promised to cure Nanny Liu.”

Hong Yu had a close relationship with Nanny Liu. Seeing Nanny Liu turning increasingly pale and lifeless, Hong Yu couldn’t help feeling frightened.

Ye Chengzhi was still clear-minded thanks to years of commitment in practicing medicine. He said in a calm voice though his fingers trembled slightly, “No worries. I’ll use styptic for Nanny Liu.”

It worked initially, but soon Nanny Liu was again bleeding; even the cotton used to hold the styptic turned red.

“It seems injection is a must now…” Ye Chengzhi mumbled.

“Then give her the injection! What are you waiting for? It’s still bleeding!” urged Hong Yu wiping her tears on the face.

Hong Yu said in such a trembling and sharp voice that she herself did not realized it.

However, at this time, Ye Chengzhi apologized, “Sorry… I’m not capable enough to give acupunctures to patients now…”

“What?!”

Hearing this, Hong Yu even wanted to kill him. Meanwhile, a warm hand fell on her shoulder. Turing back, Hong Yu saw a frowned pretty face. Hong Yu was suddenly all tears, “Miss An, Nanny Liu…”

Hong Yu was so sad that she couldn’t finish speaking.

Nodding her head, An Rushuang said quickly, “I know. Don’t worry. Is acupuncture the last resort?” She turned to Ye Chengzhi.

“Miss An, I didn’t expect this to happen. It seems that Nanny Liu’s meridians are injured… ” said Ye Chengzhi with his head lowered.

“No more explanations. Give me a solution!” said An Rushuang in a high pitched voice and looking at him seriously.

At this time, Hong Yu felt that Miss An’s hand on her shoulder was tightly clenched.

“Now, only my master can save Nanny Liu,” sighed Ye Chengzhi.

After a while, he said firmly, “I will go and asked my master to cure Nanny Liu right now…”

“You stay here to take care of Nanny Liu. I’ll send for your master.”

An Rushuang made a quick decision and turned to him, “Where is you master now? I’ll ask them to visit him.”

Hearing this, Ye Chengzhi looked baffled. Although he respected him as his master, Ye Chengzhi still wanted to call him an “old stubborn” guy.

But he could not tell this to Miss An.

Thinking so, Ye Chengzhi said, “Miss An, to be honest, I am just an intern and I’m not his real disciple. So even I cannot ensure that he would come here…”

Seeing An Rushuang and Hong Yu’s expressions, he said, “But I’ll try my best. If I failed, my life is up to you.”

Frowning, An Rushuang shook her head and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Ye Chengzhi was not able to decline her request, so he left enough styptics and went onto the coach with An Rushuang.

“Miss An, when you see my master, remember not to mention about money. He is such a strange person that he does not like others to think him impoverished although he loves to use fancy and expensive things.”

When they were about to arrive at a manor on East street, Ye Chengzhi quickly reminded her of something.

Seeing the helpless look in his eyes, An Rushuang slightly nodded, “I know.”

It seemed that his master was not a high ranked person. If he managed to cure Nanny Liu, it was ok to give him some rewards. But if he was just fishing for fame and credit and cannot cure Nanny Liu… he would eat his own bitter fruit.

The manor in front of her was neither new nor old. An Rushuang looked at it with some coldness in her eyes.

Hurried to the gate, Ye Chengzhi said, “Master! Master! I have a request. Could you please do me a favour?”

Ye Chengzhi had knocked the door for a long time. Bur still there was no one answering.

“Is your master away from home? We might as well ask for some other physicians and see if they can acupuncture Nanny Liu,” asked An Rushuang.

At this time, An Rushuang was extremely disappointed. Previously An Rushuang thought that it was due to his reasoned confidence that Ye Chengzhi would assure her that he’d cure Nanny Liu. But now it seemed that he only had confidence but without super medical skills.

How could she not be disappointed?

“I reckon my skills are better than those physicians out there and now I suppose no one would have the courage to give that acupuncture…”

Shaking his head, Ye Chengzhi was sweating and gasping with discouragement. He continued, “As for my master, he will not leave here since he was physically challenged in his legs…”

Saying so, Ye Chengzhi knocked at the door and shouted, “Master！Please! It’s about life and death. Please!”

Perhaps both of them were worried about Nanny Liu; they felt time was too long to stand.

After a long time, an old and hoarse voice was heard from the inside.

“Three years ago, I said I would never be a physician.”
