Chapter 242: A Man's Golden Knee 2
Zhou Chang grabbed the octagonal hat from the thin monkey's hand and returned it to Yun Huazi: "What did the Taoist priest say? Did something happen just now? If you blame me for picking up this hat and not returning it in time, then..."
"No need." Yun Huazi shook his head and refused to take the hat.
Zhou Chang did not force it. He already had the goods in his hands, so he was just waiting to "take them out". He grabbed the octagonal hat back in his hand and asked, "Master, what do you want from me?"
Yun Huazi snorted coldly, and then raised the corners of his mouth again: "Pleading for the people is not just talk. Rich, powerful, famous and profitable, the princes and sons are no exception. But if you are not a royal noble, do you think it is so easy to ask for help? Can you get things done by asking for help like this?"
Zhou Chang was still at a loss, and when Prince Yi regained consciousness, she immediately understood and took a deep breath: "Master, how do you want me to apologize or promise so that I can be considered sincere?"
Asking for help from others is not easy, even harder than climbing to heaven. If she had not been a prince like Prince Yi, it would have been impossible for her to make money to rob the rich and help the poor, or to do all the things before.
Yun Huazi said calmly: "You just kept saying that you are doing this for the people, but can you sacrifice your dignity for the people who are as worthless as grass?"
Zhou Chang already understood, so there was no need to hesitate. With a plop, he knelt in front of Yun Huazi.
"Your Highness..." Several people behind him exclaimed almost at the same time.
Zhou Chang knelt on the ground, his eyes curved, "My dignity is worthless, but since you have spoken, I cannot go back on my word in front of so many people."
Yun Huazi did not expect Zhou Chang to kneel down as soon as he was told to do so, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Don't say that a man's knees are made of gold. What's more important is that his identity, etiquette and status do not allow him to do this, even if he dies, he cannot do this.
The bad breath that had been lingering in the medicine room just now suddenly dissipated completely, and he was even moved that Zhou Chang, as a prince, could kneel down and beg for the people.
The onlookers had never expected this. It was the first time for them to see a prince or a royal family at such a close distance. They did not expect to see an even more incredible scene. They fell silent all of a sudden.
The air in the front hall suddenly froze.
Zhou Chang didn't think too much about it. Prince Yi's consciousness and hers were now one. Prince Yi didn't care, and she didn't care either. She even laughed and said, "People say a man's knees are worth gold. Taoist priest, how much gold do you think my knees are worth?"
If kneeling could solve the problem, Prince Yi could kneel a thousand times or ten thousand times. As for this identity, both she and Prince Yi Fengming were just using him, not reusing him.
"Hmph..." Yun Huazi stared at him for a long while, then suddenly stood up and turned away, "Don't think you can get what you want just by kneeling."
"Hey, why don't you keep your promise?" Zhou Chang jumped up, stuffed the octagonal hat to the skinny monkey and chased after him.
Yun Huazi went straight back to the medicine room, but did not close the door.
"It turns out that the Taoist priest has been prepared for a long time." Zhou Chang followed him in, laughing heartily.
Yun Huazi had already produced a piece of paper from nowhere, and just as he was about to hand it to Zhou Chang, he withdrew his hand: "Wait, I have three more conditions, you must agree to them."
Zhou Chang smiled naively: "I know, first of all, nothing happened in this room just now, and I didn't see anything."
Yuan Huazi did not reveal his attitude at all: "Second, you must not tell anyone that it was I who gave you the prescription, and you must not reveal my whereabouts to anyone."
At this time, Zhong Yu and several others also chased after him. Zhou Chang didn't even look at them, but just assured: "Of course, I promise, any information from the Taoist priest will never come out from this junior."
Yun Huazi smiled, thought for a moment, and then gave the third instruction: "This prescription can only be used to help the poor people, and cannot be sold to make money from their hard-earned money."
"Sure." Zhou Chang agreed without hesitation.
Yun Huazi then handed over the prescription again.
Zhou Chang was just about to take it with both hands.
Yun Huazi then remembered something and unfolded the prescription: "This prescription is a perfect one that I have researched and researched repeatedly. It almost does not require dialectical analysis when used, so the dosage is a little heavier for quick results. If it is a child, you can ask the doctor at the pestilence hospital to reduce the dosage by half as appropriate. If it is a serious emergency, acupuncture and moxibustion can be used as an aid. It is effective for 99 out of 100 people."
Zhou Chang didn't quite understand what he heard, so he turned around and gestured to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu stepped forward.
Yun Huazi pointed to a medicine on the paper and gave it to the two of them: "This prescription should be taken twice a day, morning and night. The method of boiling is no different from other decoctions. However, this medicine is the main medicine of this prescription. It should be added when the decoction is more than half boiled, so that the curative effect can be effective."
"Okay, got it." Zhou Chang couldn't even figure out what the words meant, but he agreed immediately and relied entirely on Zhong Yu after the preparations.
Only then did Yuan Huazi feel at ease and handed over the prescription.
"Thank you, Taoist priest." Zhou Chang took it with both hands and put it directly into his arms. He was very happy for a moment and joked, "Taoist priest, you are giving it to me so readily now. Aren't you afraid that I am shameless and will really take the prescription to exchange for silver?"
"You put me at ease when I hear you say that." Yun Huazi was startled at first, then he suddenly smiled heartily, his eyes sharp yet gentle, "Saving people is a great merit, if you do it well, it will be considered as helping me. But if you really betray me and do something like that, I also have a way to make you pay the price."
"No, no..." Zhou Chang's heart trembled, his back felt cold, and he regretted making such a joke. "In that case, time is running out, so I'll take my leave now."
Yun Huazi nodded as a greeting but did not see him off.
Just as they turned around, Yun Huazi suddenly looked at Zhong Yu and said, "Sir, please stay. Judging from your complexion, you seem to have a chronic illness. I'm afraid it's because of worry and fatigue. How about I take your pulse?"
"No need..." Zhong Yu was about to refuse.
Zhou Chang has already taken over the conversation: "Oh, I almost forgot, this is how it should be. My master has been weak for many years and is prone to fainting, so we need to trouble you, Taoist priest."
Zhong Yu still refused: "Don't worry about it, Taoist priest. The most important thing right now is the epidemic. My humble body is not worth mentioning."
"Sir, it's rare for the Taoist priest to speak in person. I wanted him to take my pulse but he refused. This is such a rare opportunity... You should take this chance to treat me well. Don't worry even if the medicine is expensive or hard to find. I will definitely find a way." Zhou Chang was very anxious, fearing that he would miss the opportunity and that Taoist priest Yun Huazi would not let him see him again.
Zhong Yu bowed to Yun Huazi and begged: "Master, my prince has been unable to eat or sleep for days because of the epidemic. I am afraid that his health has been damaged. He has looked bad in the past two days. If you really have sympathy, please check my prince's pulse."
Zhou Chang waved her hands repeatedly. She had never thought of asking Yuan Huazi to feel her pulse. "I was joking. Mr. Zhong, you are still..."
"Can you tell me your birth date? Are you taking 'Sutian Pills'?" While speaking, Yuan Huazi had been looking at Zhong Yu carefully and suddenly asked.
