Chapter 2,240: Three Years of Confinement
secret technique of the sect."What he said made no difference whether he said it or not, so-called secret techniques are meant to be kept confidential.In fact, he didn't have any secret techniques. He...Yuan Dahua eagerly came before Ye Bufan and asked, "What did you and Lin Sisi do at the clinic that day"
To be frank, his question was extremely blatant, but no one in the room stopped him. They all waited quietly for an answer.
When it comes to knowledge of psychic arts, few can surpass Ye Bufan. At this moment, his appearance of being dazed and confused is no different from someone who has been subjected to a mind-reading spell.
She came to see a doctor, and I examined her!
This obviously wasn't the answer he wanted. Yuan Dahua asked again, "What kind of illness does Miss Lin have"
"Gynecological diseases, women's diseases!"
Ye Bufan answered very succinctly.
Two questions have already passed, but nothing has been asked yet. Yuan Da Hua is getting a little anxious, "What kind of method are you using"
Ye Bufan said: "Acupuncture, a secret skill of my school, the Nine Needles to Resurrect the Soul."
“That…”
Although he was very unwilling, Liu An unceremoniously retracted his mind reading technique since Du Gu Yi had already reached the designated number of questions.
"Ah!"
When the other party's psychic energy withdrew, Ye Bufan immediately put on an expression as if waking from a dream, as if he didn't know anything about what had just happened.
Yuan Dahua shook his head. At this moment, Liu An had already used telepathy on Lin Sisi, he walked over again and started asking questions anew.
"What kind of illness did you come to the Gu Yi Men Clinic for"
Lin SiSi said in a daze, "Women's illness. I was thinking that after marrying into the royal family, I would give birth as soon as possible, so I wanted to cure the women's illness on my body."
Yuan Dahua asked again, "What method did Ye Bufan use to diagnose your illness"
"Diagnosis by feeling the pulse and treatment by acupuncture."
After Lin Sisi gave this answer, the expressions of everyone present changed.
A satisfied expression appeared on Dugu Yi's face. It seemed that this young doctor was not only skilled but also possessed a good medical ethics. He had never touched his daughter-in-law from beginning to end.
Yuan Dahua's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. Now, only one question remained. He couldn't care about anything else and directly asked: "Are you a virgin"
Lin Sisi said, "I have guarded my body like jade since I was young, and I am a pure maiden!"
After the three questions were asked, Yuan Dahua instantly became like a deflated balloon, standing there blankly and mumbling: "How could this be How could this be"
Lin Youdao was instantly furious: "Then what do you want"
Even Dugu Yi's expression darkened. After all, Lin Sisi was the daughter-in-law chosen by his own family, and Yuan Da Hua's current performance was not appropriate at all.
He wore a grim expression and said coldly, "Yuan Dahua, it seems your intelligence is completely inaccurate. I should have held you accountable for your negligence, but considering your years of hard work, I will let it slide this time."
“But for the Lin family, you must make compensation. So, I will deduct three years of your salary and compensate the Lin family in full.”
"Uh..."
As Minister of War, a high-ranking official at the time, Yuan Dahua wouldn't be lying if he said he didn't feel the pain of having three years' salary deducted.
By now, there was no way to turn back the situation. He could only grit his teeth and swallow the blood, accepting this outcome.
"Alright, I'm tired. All of you, go back."
Dugunya waved his hand, and the little eunuch immediately drove everyone out.
Yuan Dahua arrived at the door, until now he didn't dare to believe that all of this was true. After planning for so many years, could it all come to nothing How was this possible
Could this be a dream He pinched himself hard on the arm, the searing pain telling him that everything was real, nothing at all imaginary.
He shook his head and strode out, leaving the palace quickly.
Lin's father and daughter arrived at the main hall. Lin Sisi said, "Father, Dr. Ye is implicated because of me. Daughter wants to go and apologize to him."
"Well, go!"
Lin Youdao didn't know what Ye Bufan had actually done. He thought it was just because his fight with Yuan Dahua had implicated him, so he didn't say much and returned to the Xiangfu first.
Lin Sisi, accompanied by Ye Bufan, arrived at a secluded place. She waved away the eunuchs beside her and said with lingering fear, "Divine Doctor Ye, thanks to your advance preparations today, otherwise our Lin family would be truly finished this time."
Looking back on what had happened, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Yuan Dahua could be said to have put a lot of thought into this matter. If it weren't for Ye Bufan's meticulous preparations beforehand, their Lin family would have surely been disgraced.
"It's nothing, it's no big deal."
Ye Bufan said, extending his hand to summon seven silver needles that flew from Lin Sisi's head and landed in his palm.
The Seven Needles Binding Soul Technique is the nemesis of all spiritual arts. As long as the seven major acupoints on top of the head are sealed, even immortals can only watch helplessly.
He didn't expect it to come in handy, but he was glad he had it just in case.
"By the way, wasn't the emperor's punishment for that old rascal Yuan Dahua a bit too lenient considering how he provoked your Lin family"
Ye Bufan was indeed a little surprised by this.
According to reason, Yuan Da Hua's behavior should be punished more severely, perhaps even stripped of his position as Minister of War, rather than simply serving three years.
"Dr. Ye is not a person of the court and does not understand the ways of an emperor."
Lin Sisi said, "My father is the prime minister, a first-rank official. Now I have become the crown princess. With such great power, someone must be there to check and balance it."
That is precisely why he had to keep someone like Yuan Dahua around.
"Oh!"
Ye Bufan was not interested in this kind of thing. He said again, "You've now completely removed your worries and secured the position of Crown Princess. Take some time to help me find out where Situ Dianmo is."
Rest assured, Doctor Ye has done a great favor to the Lin family. I will do my best.
"Doctor Ye, you go ahead and busy yourself. I'll go take back the housekeeper's house for you."
Lin Sisi finished speaking and left after saying goodbye.
Ye Bufan left the Imperial City and returned to the Guyi Medical Hall. From afar, he saw a large crowd gathered in front of the hall.
A mental sweep revealed nearly a hundred people kneeling there. Leading them was Lu Bingkun, the one who had caused trouble earlier. Even Princess Dugu Hong, who was usually arrogant, lay beside him.
A hint of a smile played at the corner of his lips. He wasn't surprised; it seemed the old monster of the royal court still held enough sway to make even King Laiyang bow down.
Prior to this, he used a Rejuvenation Pill to leverage Mei Yongcheng's power. His aim was precisely this outcome.
Although our strength is powerful enough now, it's still best to have fewer troubles.
Ye Bufan walked into the crowd and saw him, Lu Bingkun immediately said, "Doctor Ye, I apologize to you."
"Dr. Ye, I apologize!"
The remaining one hundred guards of the palace were no different. They all cried out in unison, and after kneeling for so long, they were about to cry.
Ye Bufan smiled at the crowd, then his gaze fell on Dugu Hong's face: "Isn't this Princess Dugu You don't seem very willing!"
"I...I...I'd rather, I admit I was wrong, it was my fault. Please, just let me go."
Before, Dugu Hong was domineering and willful, arrogant and overbearing, relying on King Laiyang behind her.
Now that even Dugu Zhan has issued a death order, she has no more capital to be arrogant.
Lu Bingkun said again, "Mr. Ye, we are here by the prince's order to apologize to you."
"I assure you this will never happen again. Please speak well of our prince to the Lord Mei!"
Ye Bufan gave a teasing smile. The last sentence was their true purpose after all.
Since the other party is afraid, that means my opportunity has arrived. It's time to shear this wool while we can.."Thank you, Master!"Ye Bufan reached out and took the black shortsword, overjoyed. It was actually a mid-grade fairy artifact.The greatest characteristic of this thing is its inward-gathering aura. I...
