Chapter 299 Art of Controlling Needles

They arrived at the gate of the Imperial Hospital soon. On the way to the hospital, Zhenzhu and Manao took turns to humiliate Lin Mengya.

“They mistook my good cultivation as a sign of timidity.”

The two girls were unaware that they were dealing with a fiend with a human face. Glancing at them, Lin Mengya silently sneered.

“You still have time to be haughty now. But later, don’t beg for my mercy.”

The Imperial Hospital was exactly what Lin Mengya expected. Baili Rui told her that there were a number of famous doctors gathered there.

She smelled a herbal fragrance when she went into it.

Shen Nung automatically made an analysis, and gave a rough estimation that there were over a thousand herbs, including many rare herbs.

Some of them could even raise the dead.

She was wondering what kind of old age sickness the Emperor was stricken with. Even these medicines did not seem to work.

“My lady, this is the Imperial Hospital. Please stop over here.”

Someone stopped her just as she entered the hospital. Lin Mengya looked at the young man in front of her, and found him be an apprentice. Baili Rui told her that the apprentice of a doctor usually started with the menial tasks. The more profound the medical skills were, the more rules there were.

Baili Rui had begged Lin Mengya to be his student. Probably there was no one else like her.

“Please go and inform the doctors. Tell them that Mrs. Lin of Prince Yu’s Mansion is waiting outside.”

Lin Mengya answered in a courteous manner. She knew clearly that Zhenzhu and Manao were waiting to laugh at her, and would not help her.

Obviously, the apprentice was very familiar with the sound of the phrase “of Prince Yu’s Mansion.”

Besides, Lin Mengya looked friendly and gentle, but there was an unusual aura coming from her, which was different from ordinary people. The apprentice looked at her suspiciously, for a while and had to turn back to report.

As Lin Mengya expected, they did not keep her waiting for too long, and the assistant minister led the other doctors and came to her immediately.

According to their ranks, Lin Mengya was Princess Yu, a higher rank, so the others had to greet her.

“I’m surprised you are here, Your Highness. I’m the assistant minister here, Su Tong. Greetings, Your Highness. It’s a known fact that you’re a master in medical skills. I feel inferior compared to you.”

“Su Tong?” Lin Mengya was surprised, because Baili Rui had never mentioned this name to her.

Su Tong was a genius who knew thousands of prescriptions thoroughly by heart, at age seven. Even Baili Rui admired him. Right now, he was here, and was the assistant minister in the Imperial Hospital.

So Lin Mengya felt more curious. “Even Su Tong can’t cure His Majesty?”

“Arise quickly. I’m just a woman and know some basic medical skills. Actually, His Highness allowed me come here, because he was worried about His Majesty. In the presence of so many great doctors, how could I show my slight skill before you?”

Lin Mengya said this in a modest manner. They were after all the imperial doctors.

It was no wonder that Lin Muzhi and Long Tianyu had warned her repeatedly about entering the palace. Lin Mengya had underestimated them.

“You’re too modest. Come and see Her Highness. In the future, we should discuss with Her Highness about the medications for His Majesty.”

Su Tong’s manners were very sleek and he was a sophisticated man. It was important to maintain his position in the Imperial Palace.

But the other doctors were not like him.

After giving Lin Mengya a quick glance, they started to bow unwillingly, one by one. It seemed that they made this greetings only because of her position.

Lin Mengya was very smart, and already knew what they were thinking of.

But she would need to take immediate action. If things were as she expected, there was always a way to conquer them.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I may have made achievements in medical skills, but I’m not a good manager. They are used to being less restricted. Don’t be angry at them, Your Highness.”

Being less restricted was not true. Being dissatisfied with her was the actual truth.

As a woman younger than everyone here, of course, Lin Mengya failed to earn their respect.

Then, she inadvertently glanced at Zhenzhu and Manao.

Both of them were smirking at her, their hands covering their mouths. It was a good thing their mouths were not so big, otherwise, they might be laughing from ear to ear.

“Alright, let me assert my authority here with them.”

“No, Doctor Su, I’m bothering you. Well, please arrange a room for me alone. After all, males and females should be treated differently. Also, in this way, I won’t disturb you guys, right?”

Lin Mengya’s proposal was exactly what Su Tong wanted.

Instantly, he joyfully led her to a small room in the alcove.

It was a good place, because the room was in the innermost area, so that no one would disturb her.

After entering the room, Lin Mengya found a simple sickbed, a cupboard full of medicine, medicine scales, pots for decanting herbal medicine, a flushing bucket, and a medicine roller. Everything was prepared.

Compared with Baili Rui’s messy room where finding medicine depended on luck, it was really a paradise for doctors here.

“It’s really the Imperial Hospital. How considerate you are, Doctor Su.”

Noticing that Lin Mengya was very satisfied, Su Tong grinned.

But Lin Mengya was thinking that they treated her like the memorial tablet.

“Well, then, Your Highness, this will be your resting room. If there’s anything you need, just get a servant to call me.”

Su Tong was thinking that since Princess Yu was so young, she must know only know a little about medical skills. Only in this way, would he not offend her, nor let her make any trouble.

When he was about to leave, Lin Mengya stopped him.

“Hold on, there’s one thing. Since I am here to treat His Majesty, I think it’s necessary to carefully study His Majesty’s medical history, in case that I might accidentally injure His Majesty’s precious body. What do you think, Doctor Su?”

The moment Lin Mengya calmly said this, those doctors waiting for a good show outside, burst into an uproar.

Most of them disagreed.

His Majesty’s case history was too precious to afford any loss; She was a woman, and could not possibly understand his medical history. All in all, they doubted her medical skills and her personality.

Lin Mengya kept calm and quiet throughout, when she saw them protesting. It made them appear to have no professional manners whatsoever.

Even Su Tong could not help getting flushed. He pretended to cough first, in order to control the situation.

“Your Highness, you’re making it hard for me. His Majesty’s case history is being stored in a box after being examined and sealed into a brochure by me. Outsiders are not allowed to see it. It’s related to the foundation of Dajin. Please don’t make it hard for me, Your Highness.”

How funny they were. Lin Mengya really wanted to laugh out loud.

Case histories were the same as medical histories in the modern world. She had to check His Majesty’s case history before she made a treatment, otherwise, how would she treat him?

It seemed that they would not take her seriously, if she did not show any of her skills today.

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes, as if she agreed with them. But the next second she raised her eyes, and her eyes were ablaze, and only a few of the doctors dared to look at her.

“Have you ever heard about the Art of Controlling Needles, Doctor Su?”

Her short sentence astonished Su Tong and it showed on his face. Only a few of the doctors present, were familiar with it.

“It…it’s just a tale. Penetrating acupoints with silver needles needs extra care. The Art of Controlling needles might be made up by someone who was bored, I suppose.”

Some doctors agreed with his opinion.

But Lin Mengya just smiled, while lowering her head, and added.

“Lots of mysteries are unsolved in the world. It’s said that the ancestor of medical knowledge became a God. But have you ever seen it and learned your skills from him? Also how could you deny whether our ancestor’s story has been made up by someone?”

Lin Mengya was a good debater, better than anyone else, even when they cooperated together.

The few words spoken by her made them blush, and they fell into silence.

It could not be that the group had learned their medical skills from their ancestor in their dreams, right?

Lin Mengya stopped making it hard for them, and told Baisu to take out the set of silver needles she often used.

One hundred and eight silver needles were placed in order, and it widened the eyes of those so-called spectators.

Lin Mengya had spent half a month trying to persuade Baili Rui to lend it to her.

It was said that it came from Baili Rui’s teacher. Every needle was special and could warm and nourish channels and collaterals, and relieve the patients, with the help of Baili Rui’s unique technique.

The Art of Controlling Needles was the most mysterious part of needle art.

There was no evidence about who had created it. Baili Rui just said that he got it inadvertently.

The Art of Controlling Needles was used to penetrate acupoints with silver needles, and then to control the patient. It was known for being quick, relentless, and accurate. Baili Rui also said that the four diagnostic methods could be done with these silver needles, after a doctor had learned it. That was the highest state of needle controlling art, You Embroidery.

Needles could float in the body regularly, and could directly cure certain diseases. That was the best part of the art of controlling needles!

“Do you know the long-lost occult technique?”

Su Tong was a master, but he was really surprised by her, after seeing those silver needles.

Lin Mengya did not deny it, and then casually said.

“I’m not a good student and only learned to control three needles. That is my limit. If you don’t believe me, Minister Su, you can have a try.”

Lin Mengya smilingly said this, while playing with the silver needles.

Instantly, the Imperial Hospital fell into silence.

Su Tong touched his forehead and refused.

“I’m afraid that it’s not appropriate. I’m too old to do this.”

Lin Mengya looked at him with a smile. “He’s afraid to lose his life under my hands.”

Lin Mengya picked up a silver needle and looked at those doctors, who only moments ago, displayed their arrogance.
