Chapter 611 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 7
"I have brought you the thousand taels of gold you asked for. If you can cure me, I will give you a generous gift as a thank you. But if you can't..."
Ning Ruli snorted coldly and didn't finish her words, but her meaning was already very clear.
If Yun Yi couldn't cure her sprain, he would definitely be in trouble.
Yun Yi walked over to Ning Ruli and sat down. He placed his fingertips on her wrist and began to take her pulse in a serious manner.
After a long while, he took his hand back and asked hurriedly, "Doctor, how is my mother's condition?"
"It's not serious. Two or three doses of medicine will cure it." Yun Yi said as he stood up and wrote a prescription.
The maid quickly took it and handed it to Ning Ruli.
Ning Ruli didn't understand the prescription at all. She looked up at Yun Yi and said, "Someone came with my token to ask you to come before, but you refused to diagnose me. Now you go back with me until this princess recovers from her injuries."
"Is the princess planning to use her power to oppress the innocent people?" Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and asked with a sneer, "I am just a country bumpkin. If the princess takes me away by force, I will have no power to resist."
Ning Ruli knew what Yun Yi said was true. He was just a thin old man and naturally could not resist her servants.
But when looking at Yun Yi, she always had a feeling that he would leave at any time, and she didn't have much confidence that the servants could take him back by force.
"Mother, I have asked someone to rent a house in the village. It should be ready by now. We can stay there for the next few days so that the doctor can diagnose us at any time." Sheng Tang didn't want her mother to use her status as the eldest princess to pressure others, so she spoke quickly.
"Let me live in the village?" Ning Ruli asked in disbelief.
How can people live in those thatched houses in the village?
"Mother, it is better to recover from your injuries as soon as possible."
Sheng Tang continued to persuade Ning Ruli, who felt the severe pain in her ankle and endured it silently. However, she did not forget to ask someone to go back to the princess' villa to get the things she often used.
All of a sudden, horse-drawn carriages were heading to the village one after another, and many villagers came out to watch the excitement. The noise was as deafening as during the Chinese New Year.
Finally, Ning Ruli couldn't stand the noise of the villagers anymore and ordered her servants to drive away everyone near her house. Only then did the place quiet down.
Ning Ruli asked Imperial Physician Deng to look at the prescription written by Yun Yi, and only after confirming that it was non-toxic did she ask someone to prepare the medicine.
Just a quarter of an hour after drinking a bowl of soup, the pain in my ankle suddenly dissipated a lot, and the ulcer showed no signs of spreading.
"This doctor is truly a miracle doctor. No wonder he only goes out for two or three months every year, yet he is still remembered by the people." Sheng Tang said in surprise.
"He has some skills."
Finally, there was hope for recovery, and the depression in Ning Ruli's chest finally dissipated a little.
However, what she didn't know was that the medicine was more than just a simple treatment for sprains.
After taking the medicine for two days, the redness and swelling on Ning Ruli's ankle had subsided, and she was able to move it again, and the festering wound was about to heal.
The house that Sheng Tang rented was not far from Yun Yi's thatched cottage.
She could see people coming to see the doctor every day, and roughly estimated that there were more than twenty people a day. He was also open about the questions that the barefoot doctor in the village asked him.
Sheng Tang secretly asked Imperial Physician Deng why ordinary doctors could not prescribe a prescription like Yun Yi's?
Imperial Physician Deng replied, "It's not that I can't prescribe a prescription, but that prescription is not for treating sprains, but for regulating the internal organs. Who would have thought that the eldest princess's illness this time would be so strange?"
Sheng Tang understood. Other doctors would just treat a sprained foot with methods, but Yun Yi saw the root of the disease, so his condition was effective.
-
On the third day, Yun Yi came to take Ning Ruli's pulse again and made adjustments to the prescription.
"The miracle doctor has brought people back to health. This princess recommends you to work as a royal doctor in the Imperial Hospital to treat the illnesses of the royal family members. How about that?"
The injury had been relieved and Ning Ruli asked in a good mood.
Although it was a question, there was still a condescending attitude in his tone.
"No." Yun Yi refused without thinking.
Ning Ruli's eyebrows moved slightly, "Are you trying to offend this princess?"
Yun Yi looked over and smiled, "So what if I refute it? Princess, are you planning to scold the cook after having a full meal? Are you going to behead me for not obeying your orders?"
Others were trembling with fear in front of the eldest princess. Ning Ruli grew up being flattered by everyone in the world. How could she have ever seen anyone directly contradict her?
"You... you unruly person, do you know that it is as easy for me to kill you as to crush an ant?"
Of course Yun Yi believed it. Isn’t that what Ning Ruli did in the plot?
"Really? Then Princess, why don't you try it?"
Yun Yi said this without looking at Ning Ruli, picked up the medicine box and walked out.
"Doctor, please save my daughter. She just fell down accidentally and hit her head on the millstone."
Through the doors and windows, Ning Ruli could hear the woman outside crying for help.
Then he saw outside the window Yun Yi hurriedly leaving with the woman.
He was perfunctory towards her, the eldest princess, but was very anxious towards a commoner child. It was really hateful.
"Mom, the medicine is ready."
Sheng Tang came in with the medicine and helped Ning Ruli drink it.
"Mother, the old man is indifferent to fame and fortune, so you shouldn't force him to go to the palace to be an imperial physician. Besides, there are enough imperial physicians in the palace, and we don't need one more." Sheng Tang thought about it and started to persuade her.
"He is indifferent to fame and fortune? Didn't he accept my one thousand taels of gold?" Ning Ruli asked with a sneer.
She has seen too many people like this since she was a child. On the surface, they are as calm as chrysanthemums, but in fact, they have no fewer ulterior motives than anyone else.
"No, your grandmother has always had headaches and fevers in the past two years, and the imperial doctors in the palace are useless. We still have to find a way to get him into the palace to be an imperial doctor."
Ning Ruli made up her mind and was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal. Sheng Tang sighed silently in his heart, not knowing how to dissuade her.
The servants in the Princess's Mansion are all strong and healthy, while the old lady is weak. How can they resist by force?
-
Yun Yi bandaged the little girl who had hit her head on the millstone, and after watching her wake up and everything was normal, he returned to his thatched hut.
It was already evening, and Sheng Tang was standing in the yard, not knowing how long he had been waiting for him.
"Is there anything wrong, Princess?"
Sheng Tang pursed his lips and said, "Sir, you saved my mother. My mother insisted that you enter the palace as an imperial physician. I hope you can think of a way to escape quickly."
"Really? I've already rejected the princess but she still won't give up. It seems like she's really persistent." Yun Yi chuckled sarcastically.
Sheng Tang lowered her eyes, she knew her mother had many problems.
But as a daughter, she can't blame her mother.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I appreciate it. It's getting late, Princess, please go back."
Yun Yi silently calculated the time in his mind and it should be around tomorrow.
