Chapter 345: The Divine Healer Descends
As soon as Song Miqiu arrived at the gate of the Imperial Medical Academy, she saw Ming Taicheng drying herbs in the courtyard and quickly went over to greet him.
"Master, you're back! Quickly bring out your best skills."
When Ming Taicheng heard the voice and realized what was happening, Song Miqiu was already standing in front of him.
"Where did you go? I've been looking for you the whole time. Hurry up, these are all the lessons you've missed, catch up on them."
As he spoke, he grabbed a large pile of books from the corner and stuffed them into Song Miqiu's arms without a second thought.
Song Miqiu glared at him angrily, "You stinky master, all you do is torture me."
Although he said that, he still obediently went to the side to study hard.
With Ming Taicheng by his side, Song Miqiu's medical skills improved dramatically every day.
News came from the palace that the Emperor had been unwell lately; when he sat for long periods, he often felt dizzy and his mind went blank when he stood up.
They sent a eunuch to see if anyone in the Imperial Hospital dared to step forward and treat the Emperor.
Without hesitation, Ming Taicheng pushed Song Miqiu forward in front of the eunuch.
"I'm sure you're very familiar with Physician Song. What do you think of having Physician Song treat His Majesty?"
The father-in-law, holding the imperial edict in one hand, gracefully approached Song Miqiu's side.
He circled around her once, saying, "Of course this old servant is familiar with Physician Song. Since Ming Taicheng strongly recommends her, then let's go with her."
After speaking, the eunuch went back.
Feeling bewildered, Song Miqiu stepped forward to confront Ming Taicheng, "Master, why didn't you discuss this with me first?"
Ming Taicheng naturally had his own ideas.
"This is an opportunity you must seize. Become a favorite of the Emperor, and your master's future depends on you."
He patted Song Miqiu on the shoulder and left with great satisfaction.
Song Miqiu remained where she was, furious. "That old fox only thinks about himself."
Now that he had taken on the task, Song Miqiu wanted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the medical skills he had recently acquired.
With sleeves rolled up, he looked at the medical books and herbs in front of him with high spirits.
"Just you wait, I'll scare you to death."
After sitting down, Song Miqiu recalled what her father-in-law had just said, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized what he meant.
"Feeling dizzy when standing up after sitting for a long time, isn't that a sign of high blood pressure or low blood sugar?"
He then recalled the Emperor's recent diet and physical condition, and slapped his thigh in assurance.
"That's right, isn't that obvious? You ancient people should take a good look at modern medical technology, you idiots."
With a solution in hand, Song Miqiu had nothing to worry about anymore. She relaxed in the courtyard, lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun and cracking sunflower seeds.
The passing physicians all pointed and whispered about Song Miqiu.
"This person is really carefree."
"No matter how many old imperial physicians can cure the emperor's illness, it's a living hell."
"Just wait to get your head chopped off. So this is nothing special, even for Physician Ming Taicheng's apprentice."
Song Miqiu didn't care about them; they'd be envious eventually.
The next day, the eunuch came to the Imperial Hospital early in the morning to ask Song Miqiu for the medicine the emperor needed.
"How is it, Imperial Physician Song? Has the medicine for the Emperor been successfully developed?"
Song Miqiu was well prepared; how could he let his underlings look down on him?
"Everything was ready a long time ago, just waiting for you to come, Father-in-law."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Miqiu slowly walked up to her father-in-law.
Several pink pills were presented to everyone as the hand was opened.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Song Miqiu put the pills into a bottle and casually handed it to her father-in-law.
"This is the medicine His Majesty needs to take for the first three days. Come back for more when he finishes it, because the effects of the medicines are different and they need to be taken separately."
The father-in-law, unaware of Song Miqiu's little tricks, accepted the package with some skepticism.
"I'll believe you for now. If the Emperor doesn't see any improvement in three days, I'll come back to cause you trouble."
Song Miqiu looked smug. "I'm afraid Father-in-law won't get his way."
Knowing Song Miqiu's temperament, her father-in-law didn't continue arguing with her. "Then see you in three days."
Seeing her father-in-law about to leave, Song Miqiu remembered that there was something she hadn't said yet, so she quickly called him back.
"There's one more thing. From now on, His Majesty's food should be sent through me first before being delivered to him. Is that alright?"
The father-in-law was puzzled and didn't understand what Song Miqiu meant.
Song Miqiu stepped forward and explained with gestures, "The medicine in your hand, Eunuch, needs to be taken with food to be effective. It's not like we're not letting the Emperor eat."
Since that's what they said, the father-in-law had no choice but to agree.
Three days passed quickly, and the emperor's condition soon improved.
That day, the eunuch came to the Imperial Hospital again and went straight to Song Miqiu without any attempt to hide his presence.
"Imperial Physician Song is truly a miracle doctor! His Majesty's illness is finally slowly recovering. His Majesty sent me to ask you for the medicine three days from now."
Those who have made contributions are different; Song Miqiu straightened his back.
"It was prepared for my father-in-law long ago."
This time the medicine was different; it was blue and still packaged in a transparent bottle.
"Come back to me for your medicine in three days, just like before."
Soon the news that Song Miqiu had cured the emperor's illness spread throughout the palace, and the eunuchs and maids who passed by all paid their respects to Song Miqiu.
Naturally, the emperor's rewards continued to pour in, all of which were sent to the Imperial Hospital, much to the envy of many.
Even Ming Taicheng came over and asked, "My apprentice is even more amazing than his master! Could you tell me how he prepared the medicine for the Emperor?"
How could Song Miqiu possibly tell?
He waved to signal Mingtai to come closer.
Just as Ming Taicheng leaned closer, Song Miqiu whispered in his ear, "It's a secret."
Enraged, Ming Taicheng lightly tapped Song Miqiu on the head.
"You're so naughty."
After saying that, he left angrily.
Song Miqiu had no idea how to cure the disease; he simply relied on his modern memories to study the emperor's diet.
Come to think of it, it's no wonder the emperor has high blood pressure from eating so much meat and fish every day.
My stomach is always full from eating, and I've hardly ever eaten any green foods.
The colorful pills that Song Miqiu gave to her father-in-law were not treasures at all; they were simply pills made by drying and grinding vegetables of various colors into powder.
Song Miqiu secretly replaced the fried food with fried food every day when serving the emperor's meals, so it was effective after only three days.
Song Miqiu was alone in her room, looking at the countless gold and silver jewels on the table and bed.
I spun around excitedly several times.
"Great! I'll quickly send these gold and silver treasures to the system to exchange for more points."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, I opened the system and successfully exchanged these treasures for points in the system.
In this way, Song Miqiu took another big step closer to a happy life in her old age.
With these rewards, Song Miqiu's life in the palace underwent a tremendous change; it was definitely better to have money.
But when the night is quiet, I will think of Yu Huailin and wonder where he is now and what he is doing.
