Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 255 Call for a miracle doctor

They rushed along the road like arrows, the sound of their hooves as rapid as a storm, and they nearly collided with pedestrians on the road several times. However, at this moment, they had no time to care about these things. They had only one thought in their minds - to get to the clinic as soon as possible.

In just a stick of incense, they arrived at the door of the clinic at lightning speed. Although Li Chu was extremely anxious, he had not forgotten the good upbringing of a royal child. He dismounted, walked steadily towards the medicine boy, and asked politely, "Excuse me, is the Divine Doctor Gongsun here?"

Seeing the visitor's extraordinary bearing, the medicine boy quickly responded with a smile, "Sir, the miracle doctor is currently seeing patients in the inner room."

Upon hearing this, Li Chu bowed again and said earnestly, "I beg you to do me a favor and tell the doctor that I have a patient in critical condition who needs his help urgently."

The pharmacist still had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes. He said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "This... I'm so sorry, sir. Look, there are so many people waiting in line for treatment, and most of them are in critical condition. I really can't open this backdoor just for you and let you cut in line!"

Standing nearby, Commander Zhang couldn't stand the delay. He was already impatient, and now he felt the situation was urgent. He stepped forward and shouted, "We have a truly urgent matter. If we delay any longer, this man's life will be in danger!" He gestured with his hands to emphasize the gravity of the situation.

Li Chu also stopped him in time. After all, it would be bad if people knew that they were making a scene in the clinic.

Although Divine Doctor Gongsun didn't come out, he heard their movements. He frowned and said to Murong Linzhi beside him, "Linzhi, go out and see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Murong Linzhi bowed and walked out of the clinic. Although he had never seen Li Chu before, he could tell from the look of Li Chu that he was a young master from a certain family. In addition, the two people behind him were covered in blood, so they must have been injured.

So she walked up to them, bowed, and said, "What can I do for you gentlemen?"

Li Chu nodded slightly and said, "Miss, we have something important to do with Divine Doctor Gongsun, and we wanted to ask this young man to help pass on the message. Unfortunately, this young man is a well-behaved man and refused to help, so there was a little noise, which disturbed the Divine Doctor."

Murong Linzhi probably understood, so he asked, "Who is the person you asked Master to save? What is the disease?"

Since it was Xunfeng who took the pulse, he replied, "This is what happened. Our young lady... was wounded by an arrow. It was a flesh wound, but when I took her pulse, I found it was abnormal, suggesting poisoning."

Murong Linzhi heard what the man in front of her said and felt that either his medical skills were still inadequate, or he might have taken the pulse incorrectly in an emergency, so she asked, "I wonder if your young lady is here?"

Xun Feng shook his head and said, "No, my young lady was injured after leaving Chang'an City, so I hurried back to find a miracle doctor. She was settled in the nearest town."

Li Chu was just about to ask Murong Linzhi to help talk to the miracle doctor when he heard the medicine boy say, "Sister Linzhi, what should we do? There are so many patients here. I'm afraid the master can't leave!"

Li Chu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he bowed to Murong Linzhi and asked, "Are you Murong Linzhi?"

Murong Linzhi looked at Li Chu in surprise and asked, "Do you know me?"

Li Chu then cupped his hands and whispered, "Jingyao asked me to pass a letter to you. Let's talk for a moment."

Murong Linzhi looked at the person in front of him, who didn't seem to be lying, so he made a gesture of invitation. Li Chu signaled Commander Zhang and Xunfeng to wait outside.

Entering a clinic, Murong Linzhi asked, "Sir, is the Jingyao you are talking about Dugu Jingyao?"

Li Chu nodded slightly and said, "That's right. She asked me to pass on this letter." Then he took out a letter and handed it to Murong Linzhi.

Murong Linzhi anxiously opened the envelope, read it quickly, and asked, "So it was Jingyao who was poisoned?"

Li Chu nodded slightly in affirmation.

Murong Linzhi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is that young master?"

Li Chu said calmly: "I am Li Chu."

Murong Linzhi was surprised again and quickly bowed, saying, "This humble girl pays her respects to His Royal Highness Prince Guangping."

Li Chu quickly gave her a false support and said, "No need to be so polite. Time is urgent. Miss Murong, could you please help me find a miracle doctor?"

Murong Linzhi thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there are too many patients here. If we suddenly stop the treatment, it may cause dissatisfaction. If you trust me, I will go with you to treat Sister Jingyao."

Seeing Li Chu's hesitation, Murong Linzhi said, "Time waits for no one. Your Highness, I am the master's last disciple. Please trust my medical skills. Besides, my master is old and can't stand the bumps of riding a horse. I'll go!"

Although Murong Linzhi did not call herself a commoner, Li Chu did not blame her. After all, at such a critical moment, who would care about these conventional etiquette?

Li Chu then bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Murong."

Murong Linzhi said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please wait in the hall. I'll go talk to Master and we'll set off immediately."

In no time, Murong Linzhi emerged from the consulting room of the Divine Doctor Gongsun, carrying his medicine box. After giving a few words of advice to the medicine boy Bai Zhu, he said to Li Chu, "Master... I'm ready. Let's go!"

Li Chu nodded and walked out of the clinic.

Because time was urgent, they didn't prepare a carriage. Seeing that they were going on horseback, Murong Linzhi was not at all panicked. She said, "Your Highness, there is no need to prepare a carriage. I can ride a horse too. I can ride with you and it will be faster."

However, there were only three horses now. If we went to buy more horses, it would take some time. So Li Chu said, "Commander Zhang, please stay in Chang'an to meet us."

Commander Zhang agreed, led the horse over and coaxed it, preparing to let Murong Linzhi cushion him on the horse. Unexpectedly, Murong Linzhi fixed the medicine box and climbed onto the horse in one go, which made Li Chu and others admire him.

Murong Linzhi was a little anxious when he saw that they hadn't made any move: "Why don't you get on your horses? Aren't you very anxious?"

Li Chu and Xun Feng finally came to their senses from their amazement, jumped on their horses, and galloped out of the city...
