Chapter 844: Wrong theory
Imperial Doctor Xu said: “How could that be? It doesn’t make sense. Several important acupuncture points on the head were sealed by needles, which cause the princess to fell unconscious. After pulling out the needles she woke up. Those important acupuncture points have nothing to do with the limbs, so this thing shouldn’t happen.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “It’s not supposed to be. Could it be that we missed something?”
Imperial Doctor Xu thought it over carefully, but couldn’t think of anything, so he shook his head: “It shouldn’t be. Could it be that she is poisoned?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “It’s not poison. I don’t know what it is yet, so I don’t want to make a conclusion. But this leg thing has nothing to do with poison.” Where in this world you could find a poison that can only affect the legs?
Bai Zhi lowered her head and continued looking at the record book in her hand. She carefully checked them one by one. She didn’t dare to miss a word. Suddenly, very old handwriting fell into her eyes. In the third year of Wenzhi, the fifth day of May, Guan Shujing borrowed the book of Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture.
There was an empty line below, which was supposed to write the date of return of the book. But it was empty. Obviously, the book has never been returned.
Bai Zhi asked Imperial Doctor Xu: “Which year is this Third year of Wenzhi?”
Imperial Doctor Xu said: “It’s the former dynasty. Why?”
In other words, this book has been borrowed for decades.
Bai Zhi pointed to the title of the book and asked: “This Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture, is there still a copy here?”
Imperial Doctor Xu shook his head: “I have never read this book. It’s more like a belief than actual facts.”
Bai Zhi was puzzled. How can this Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture a belief? Obviously, this was a study.
She didn’t say much, and simply asked: “Is this Guan Shujing still alive?”
Imperial Doctor Xu shook his head again: “He died a long time ago, but the Guan family is still there. If he borrowed the book and keep it, maybe it can be found.”
“Does the Guan Family still practice medicine now?” Bai Zhi asked.
Imperial Doctor Xu shook his head: “They don’t practice medicine anymore. After Doctor Guan retires, the younger generation starts doing business. Their family business grows bigger and bigger, so Doctor Guan’s acupuncture skills and knowledge have been lost, which is a shame.”
Bai Zhi said to Imperial Doctor Xu: “Can you accompany me to the Guan Family’s house? I want to see this Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture. Maybe I can find a solution to the princess’s disease.”
In modern times, she had also heard of this Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture, but this medical book was kept in the museum. She had only seen a few copies of pages, which made a great contribution to the development of acupuncture studies.
If she can see this complete copy of the book, maybe she can find a way to treat the princess’s leg problems.
Imperial Doctor Xu pointed to the record book in her hand: “What about the other one? You will no longer look for it?”
Bai Zhi quickly replied: “Of course, we will still look for it. Let the others help us look for it, while we are going to the Guan Family. This matter can’t be delayed.”
Imperial Doctor Xu nodded: “Okay, let’s go now.”
Bai Zhi said to the errand boy: “You go and talk to Miss Jin later. Tell her that I went out to find a solution, so they don’t need to worry.”
The errand boy responded and watched Imperial Doctor Xu and Bai Zhi leave the medicine hall.

When the two left, in a short while, Chu Yan rushed over and asked the servant outside the princess’s consultation room: “Is Miss Bai here?”
The servant looked surprised. His Highness asked about Miss Bai first instead of the princess.
The servant shook his head: “Miss Bai is not here, she went out of the palace with Imperial Doctor Xu. Your Highness, the princess is awake, would you like to go in and have a look?”
Chu Yan shook his head: “It’s good that she woke up. It’s not convenient for this prince to go in now.” He turned around and walked a few steps. After thinking about it, he turned back: “Did Miss Bai mention where she will go?”
The servant said: “I heard from Imperial Doctor Xu’s errand boy that Miss Bai and Imperial Doctor Xu seem to be going to Doctor Guan’s house.”
Doctor Guan?
Chu Yan frowned: “Which Doctor Guan?”
