"Why should I treat you?" Li Se coldly looked at Fu Qingfeng, who had intended to attack him earlier. Why should he treat him?
Fu Qingfeng was suddenly embarrassed. He remembered that he was about to attack Li Se. Yes, he was about to attack him, so why should Li Se treat him? At this moment, he could only look at Du Jinglong.
"I can't do anything. Young Master Li's status is much more noble than mine now. I'm just a chief of the Imperial Physician Review Committee, so looking at me won't help you," Du Jinglong said with a shrug.
Fu Qingfeng was a little confused. He now had the urge to beat Gu Tianhe to death. If it weren't for this guy, he would have offended this young imperial physician. Moreover, as Li Se said, Gu Tianhe had not completely cured him when he treated him back then, which had caused his hidden illness to become even more severe!
"Imperial Physician Li, as long as you cure me, just name your conditions, and I will do my best to fulfill them!" Fu Qingfeng said very sincerely.
Li Se shook his head and said, "I don't have anything for you to do. However, if you insist on me treating you, it's not impossible. Beat up this Gu Tianhe for me, and I might consider it."
"You, you, you... What do you mean?" Gu Tianhe was a little anxious when he heard this.
Li Se looked at him and smiled, saying, "Gu Tianhe, you had him come to beat me earlier, and now I'm having him beat you. Is there any problem?"
"There's a big problem! I'm an imperial physician!" Gu Tianhe said coldly.
"Who isn't?" Li Se sneered. "Besides, you are no longer an imperial physician. What's the harm in beating you?"
"Don't mess around. Imperial Physician Gu is now at our Zhang family's sanatorium..." Zhang Yi naturally couldn't watch Gu Tianhe get beaten. However, before he could finish speaking, Li Se had already slapped him away.
"Noisy!" Li Se said lightly.
"Imperial Physician Li, don't worry. It just so happens that I also want to settle accounts with him!" Fu Qingfeng revealed a cruel smile and walked towards Gu Tianhe step by step. "Did you hear what Imperial Physician Li said? It's because of your poor medical skills that my hidden illness has worsened. I've always wondered why, after being treated by you back then, I've been suffering more and more. It turns out you're just a quack. No wonder you retired from being an imperial physician. Which leader would dare to be treated by an imperial physician like you?"
"Fu Qingfeng, you'd better think clearly!" Gu Tianhe looked at Fu Qingfeng with some apprehension. "I was once an imperial physician, and I have countless connections. I even know some old generals. If you dare to touch me, they won't let you off!"
"Old generals?" Fu Qingfeng laughed heartily. "Gu Tianhe, you think too highly of yourself. What ability do you have to make those old generals act on your behalf? Do you really think you're still the imperial physician you once were? If you were that powerful, why would you have defected to the Zhang family?"
"You, you, you..." Gu Tianhe's face turned ugly. He wanted to say something more, but Fu Qingfeng gave him no more chances.
Bang...
"Ah!"
Soon, Gu Tianhe's screams rang out, extremely tragic.
Gu Tianhe was already very old, but Fu Qingfeng held back his strength. He could make Gu Tianhe suffer immensely without taking his life.
After a thorough beating, Gu Tianhe was bruised and swollen, lying on the ground convulsing. This was definitely the worst beating he had ever received.
Seeing Gu Tianhe's miserable state, Du Jinglong couldn't help but ask, "Will he be beaten to death?"
"Don't worry, he won't die!" Li Se said with a smile.
"Qi Observing Technique?" Du Jinglong seemed to understand something.
Li Se nodded. Many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays did not know the Qi Observing Technique, only the simple "observing" aspect. This way, they could only see the surface, not the deeper condition.
"Imperial Physician Li, can you treat me now?" Fu Qingfeng came before Li Se, looking expectant.
Li Se nodded. "Just for beating him up, I can help you treat your hidden illness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several silver needles appeared in Li Se's hand. Before Fu Qingfeng could react, the silver needles had already pierced into his body, accurately landing on the acupuncture points.
"So fast!" Fu Qingfeng was also a martial artist. He hadn't been unable to react earlier; it was mainly because he knew Li Se wouldn't attack him. But even without any defense, he still felt that Li Se's speed was incredible, and it would be very difficult for ordinary people to defend against it.
The few silver needles inserted into him began to tremble. Each needle was covered with a layer of true qi, which could help Fu Qingfeng unblock his meridians.
"Qi-driven needles, Qi-flying needles... Alas, as expected, to reach the advanced realm of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one must cultivate qi gong," Du Jinglong exclaimed.
After the acupuncture was almost done, Li Se came behind Fu Qingfeng and struck out with his palm. Fu Qingfeng spat out a mouthful of black blood, and all the silver needles on his body shot out at this moment.
"Your hidden illness is not a big problem. In fact, if you had sought treatment from Imperial Physician Sun back then, you would have been completely cured," Li Se said, belittling Gu Tianhe's medical skills in his words after the treatment.
Although many years had passed, he could tell that Fu Qingfeng's hidden illness was not too severe back then. With the skill of an imperial physician, it could have been cured. However, in Gu Tianhe's hands, it was not cured, and the hidden illness was merely suppressed temporarily. This suppression would only lead to a worsening of the condition once it flared up!
"I don't know how this Gu Tianhe became an imperial physician back then," Li Se snorted coldly.
"Actually, Gu Tianhe's medical skills are quite good. He once treated a very difficult case, and he became famous through that treatment, successfully becoming an imperial physician," Du Jinglong explained.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician Li!" Fu Qingfeng felt that his meridians had all been unblocked, and his hidden illness was no more. This feeling was simply too wonderful. He quickly thanked Li Se gratefully.
"Imperial Physician Li, when will you treat my body?" Huangpu Ze's physical condition was very poor. It hadn't been serious before, but now he was extremely weak, his face gradually turning pale, and he felt like he could vomit blood at any moment.
Li Se said lightly, "Your problem is more serious than that hidden illness. If you had believed me earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Gu Tianhe was able to treat you yesterday because I had Shiqing tell him a few acupuncture points, which is how he recovered. Otherwise, with Gu Tianhe's medical skills, he would have been helpless."
It could be said that Huangpu Ze's current condition was entirely his own fault!
