Chapter 189: Taking in a Disciple
Shen Jingbei was completely confused. "How could this happen? What's going on? What's going on?"
Zhan Jingchen glanced at him, and the comparison between the two of them showed that he was very steady and calm.
Shen Jingbei asked tentatively: "Could it be that your sister-in-law helped you detoxify?"
The man nodded, "It's definitely her." But he didn't know how she detoxified herself. She was clearly the one who was poisoned, so how did she quietly detoxify herself? She didn't even realize it.
Shen Jingbei couldn't bear it any longer, he stood up and was about to run outside.
Zhan Jingchen stopped him in time, "Stop, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find my sister-in-law. I want to ask her how she cured you of the poison. I want to learn from her."
"Come back here. You can't just go to the backyard of the palace whenever you want."
Shen Jingbei stopped abruptly, turned around, his eyes full of anticipation.
"My Lord, please invite the princess over."
As a foreigner, it is indeed not easy for me to enter the backyard of the palace.
Zhan Jingchen glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."
Shen Jingbei looked puzzled, "What's so difficult about this? Are you afraid that your sister-in-law won't agree?"
"She gave me the antidote and kept it a secret from me. Do you think she would tell you?"
Shen Jingbei: “…” That makes so much sense!
"But didn't she tell us what herbs to look for last time? She must be willing to tell us."
Zhan Jingchen thought about it and decided to ask the housekeeper to invite the girl over.
As soon as Tang Xiluo walked into the study, he found a pug beside him.
"..."
"Sister-in-law, you will be my real sister-in-law from now on! I will give you first any good things I have!"
Tang Xiluo: "...I'm not old enough to need anyone's respect." Not for now.
Zhan Jingchen's face darkened, "Shen Jingbei, let go of your hand!"
Shen Jingbei was startled and quickly let go of Tang Xiluo's arm, then bowed to apologize.
"Sorry sister-in-law."
"It's okay, what do you want from me?"
"Sister-in-law, I didn't find the herbs you mentioned."
Tang Xiluo was as calm as Zhan Jingchen, "Yeah."
Noticing that Shen Jingbei was still staring at her, she thought for a moment and spoke to comfort him.
"It's okay. This kind of rare medicinal material is hard to find. It's normal that we didn't find it. Just keep working hard and we will definitely find it next time."
Xiaoyu would definitely not be happy with such official consolation, but Shen Jingbei liked to hear it very much. He said that his sister-in-law was great, much better than his brothers.
Then he asked again in a low voice, "But I found that the prince's poison has been almost cured... Sister-in-law, do you know about this?"
Tang Xiluo twitched the corner of his mouth. I just said it. What could he want to talk to me about? After thinking about it, this is the only thing.
So all the previous ones were just foreshadowing, and this was the question he wanted to ask the most.
"I know."
Shen Jingbei's eyes immediately lit up.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me in detail."
"I was the one who cured him of the poison."
Shen Jingbei was so excited, "Sister-in-law, please teach me how to cure this poison? What medicinal herbs are needed?"
"..."
After a long while without hearing a reply, he quickly said, "I'll pay the apprenticeship fee!"
Tang Xiluo nodded in satisfaction, "Then how much do you want to pay?"
Shen Jingbei chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you know that I have been practicing medicine in various places over the years, and I don't have much money."
Over the years, he has been helping poor people with their medical treatments, and he even has to pay out of his own pocket to buy medicine for them.
He had never helped those rich and powerful people to cure their illnesses, even though they tried every means to find him.
I would only agree to go if other doctors cannot cure the disease. If other doctors can cure it, there is no need for me to waste my time.
Tang Xiluo twitched his lips, "Is that so? Then you should go back and save money for a few years. Come back to me when you have saved enough."
Zhan Jingchen curled his lips silently.
Shen Jingbei was very anxious. He couldn't wait to know the detoxification method. How could he afford to wait for a few years?
"Sister-in-law, how about this? I will give you half of the money I earn from practicing medicine in the future."
Tang Xiluo's face finally showed some expression. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Give me half of it, no matter how much it is?"
Shen Jingbei felt a little distressed. He had to divide all the money in the future into half! His heart was bleeding.
But he was really curious now, he really wanted to know how to cure the poison.
People outside call me a miracle doctor, but only I know that I still have many shortcomings and there are many things I don’t know.
"Okay! No matter how much I earn from practicing medicine in the future, I'm willing to give you half."
Zhan Jingchen snorted speechlessly, "You've got a great bargain!"
Others may not know, but don’t you know it yourself? The little girl’s medical skills are definitely better than Shen Jingbei’s.
The little girl cured her mother's illness and her elder sister's poison all by herself. Even the imperial physician couldn't do it, but the little girl did it easily.
Take the medicinal pills she refined, for example, they have already reached a unique level.
Shen Jingbei was lucky enough to have her as his disciple.
Shen Jingbei's eyes lit up. Although his brother was cold and liked to criticize others, he would not tell lies.
"Sister-in-law! I have handed over so much, can I become your disciple?"
Tang Xiluo twitched his lips, "You are dreaming."
Shen Jingbei shamelessly said, "Sister-in-law! Good things should be kept within the family! You have such good skills, of course you have to pass them on to our own people first."
Tang Xiluo shrugged, "Who said I'm going to pass on my legacy?"
All her medical skills were learned in modern times. Aren't modern ones also accumulated and passed down from ancient times?
Therefore, it is not certain who is the master of whom. Even if they do not pass on their skills, thousands of years later, the very powerful Chinese medicine techniques will still be passed down to modern times.
Shen Jingbei's eyes widened, "Sister-in-law! It would be a pity not to pass on such excellent medical skills."
Tang Xiluo thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will accept you as my half-disciple."
"Why half?" Zhan Jingchen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because I only took half of his money."
Shen Jingbei: "...I have to live too!" If I give away everything, what will I eat, live and wear?
"Master is here! Please bow to me as a disciple!"
Tang Xiluo waved his hand and said, "No, no, there's no need to be so exaggerated."
"Master, can you tell us now?"
Tang Xiluo blinked, "Did I tell you a long time ago? I told you about the herbs before we set out last time."
Shen Jingbei was stunned. "Are those herbs that I didn't find? But I didn't find any herbs!"
Without the herbs, he thought his sister-in-law had used another method to detoxify...
