His bloated face had turned dark as water. Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Pang Tangping had no doubt that if he didn't apologize today, he wouldn't be able to leave the Eastern Palace unscathed.
"I'm sorry!"
Pang Tangping squeezed out the three words through gritted teeth.
Bai Li Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What did you say? Your voice is so soft, how can we hear you clearly?"
"Hongzhuang, don't go too far!" Pang Tangping couldn't help but explode. He, who had always been praised by others, was now being pushed to such an extent by an unknown little girl. It was simply unbearable!
However, before Bai Li Hongzhuang could respond, Ning Hongzhong and the others had already taken a confrontational stance.
"Pang Tangping, if you don't apologize properly today, I guarantee you won't be able to walk out of the Eastern Palace!" Ning Hongzhong's power burst forth. Previously, he had endured it because of the Crown Prince's illness, fearing that if Pang Tangping left in anger, the Crown Prince would lose the chance to be cured.
Now that Pang Tangping couldn't cure the Crown Prince either, he, as the head physician, couldn't be provoked by a rural doctor!
Pang Tangping clenched his teeth and refused to back down. He realized that his reputation was completely ruined after today!
Seeing this, Ning Hongzhong didn't waste any time. He waved his hand and called the guards, preparing to charge Pang Tangping with causing a disturbance and lock him up in the prison!
Seeing this scene, Pang Tangping started to panic. Once he was thrown into prison, it would be as if he was calling out to the heavens and the earth but getting no response!
"Wait!" Pang Tangping hurriedly spoke up.
Ning Hongzhong paused, his gaze coldly fixed on Pang Tangping.
"I apologize!" Pang Tangping resigned himself to his fate. When he said those words, he deflated like a punctured balloon, no longer displaying his previous arrogance and complacency.
Only then did Ning Hongzhong wave his hand, signaling the guards to retreat.
"I'm sorry!" Pang Tangping shouted with a face full of shame and anger.
After saying that, he no longer wanted to stay here for another moment. He quickly walked towards the exit.
Seeing Pang Tangping leave, Ning Hongzhong didn't stop him. He believed that this guy would never dare to cause trouble in the Imperial Physician Courtyard again.
"Miss Hongzhuang, rest assured. I will assign people to keep an eye on Pang Tangping and ensure that he doesn't back out on the bet," Ning Hongzhong said calmly. "By then, I will send the one hundred thousand gold coins to the Divine Physician Clinic."
"Thank you for your help, Senior," Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled. Ning Hongzhong's proposal saved her a lot of trouble.
Afterwards, there was a wave of congratulations. Everyone hoped to establish a closer relationship with Bai Li Hongzhuang, the physician who mastered acupuncture. If they could learn a thing or two from her, their status would undergo a tremendous transformation!
Seeing the enthusiastic response of the crowd, Bai Li Hongzhuang found an excuse to leave the Eastern Palace. She wasn't accustomed to such scenes.
Once outside the Eastern Palace, a smile bloomed on Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips. "Today's gains are quite good. I've unexpectedly gained another one hundred thousand gold coins out of nowhere!"
As long as she had these two hundred thousand gold coins in hand, she wouldn't have to worry about her cultivation resources for a short time!
The day of the royal hunting event was approaching, and she needed to improve her cultivation as soon as possible.
"Master is wise!" Xiao Bai exclaimed. He didn't expect making money to be so easy!
Bai Li Hongzhuang chuckled. "Let's go! Today, I'll treat you to a feast!"
For the next two days, Ning Hongzhong continued to follow Bai Li Hongzhuang's instructions and administered medicine to Xuan Yuanhuan. Xuan Yuanhuan's condition gradually improved, the abscess shrinking until it disappeared, finally saving his life!
