Chapter 78: You are the disciple of the Gu Saint

"Doctor Cui, please stop joking." Xie Yingmian said, "If he was a famous Gu Master, how could he have fallen into such a miserable state?"

Imperial Physician Cui seemed quite calm and composed.

The princess is familiar with various poisonous insects, is good at poisons, and has strange medical skills.

If this wasn't from the Gu Sheng Cult, he would have ripped off its head and kicked it like a ball.

"I'm not joking. You are definitely the Gu Saint's disciple," Imperial Physician Cui said. "As for the Gu Saint's fall into that state, it's related to the incident ten years ago."

"It's a sure thing."

"There is no mistake. I have witnessed history and a miracle."

Xie Yingmian looked at Doctor Cui muttering in a daze, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The origin of her medical skills is unknown.

She didn't intend to hide it.

However, as an orphan who grew up in Zhuangzi, her "strange" medical skills must have a source.

The identity of a disciple of the Gu Saint is very suitable.

It is not acceptable for her to say that she is a disciple of the Gu Saint.

It’s not safe to rely on Yu Lingye.

Having a highly respected and upright imperial physician like Cui endorse her would double the effect.

Even if she is exposed in the future, she is not afraid.

She never said that she was a disciple of the Gu Saint, it was all speculation from others.

She insisted from beginning to end that the person who taught her the medical skills and poisonous insects was just an old man.

"Doctor Cui," Xie Yingmian said.

"I really can't be sure if that old man is the legendary Gu Saint."

"He never revealed his identity, and I dare not speculate."

"This matter only needs to be known between you and me, and you must not tell anyone else."

Doctor Cui stroked his beard and shook his head slightly:

"My Lady Princess, I have something unpleasant to say."

"The royal family is different from the countryside. Your every move will be closely watched. I'm afraid your medical skills cannot be hidden."

"As long as you use medical skills, people will question you about your origins. You won't be able to hide your identity as a disciple of the Gu Saint."

"In my opinion, it's better to show it openly than to be suspected."

Xie Yingmian was waiting for Doctor Cui to say this.

She seemed to have found a soulmate, and her tone was excited:

"Doctor Cui, you've touched my heart!"

"Ten years ago, when I was still young, the old man taught me those things and explicitly forbade me to reveal my knowledge of Gu worms until I could protect myself, otherwise my life would be in danger."

“I have always adhered to his teachings.”

"When I was at the manor, the staff and relationships were simple, and the illnesses were mostly headaches and fevers. There was no need for me to intervene. The people at the manor didn't even know I had medical skills."

"Marrying into Prince Ling's mansion is different." Xie Yingmian smiled bitterly, "Doctor Cui, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"Here, there's no way I can hide my incompetence."

"Take the matter of Nanny Lin for example. If the pea Gu isn't dealt with, we'll all be buried with her."

"There are many things like this. In this palace, there are so many things that I cannot control."

Doctor Cui felt more at ease when he saw Xie Yingmian addressing him with respect.

Look.

As long as you don't make enemies with the princess, the princess will be very polite.

From now on, he will get angry with anyone who says that the princess is rude and arrogant!

Doctor Cui consoled him:

"Princess, please don't think I'm being long-winded. It's because I get along well with you that I dare to say such outrageous words."

"This person usually puts down the weak and praises the strong. You are in the vortex of the royal family. The identity of the successor of the Gu Saint is a good thing for you."

"You don't need to hide your abilities anymore. Show off your medical skills openly."

"As for those who doubt the source of your medical skills, you don't have to pay attention to them. I will clear your name."

This is exactly what Xie Yingmian wants.

Having achieved her goal, she acted humble and willing to learn.

"Thank you, Doctor Cui, for your advice. I understand."

Doctor Cui felt even happier.

What a smart child.

Xie Yingmian felt that the groundwork had been laid and it was time to get down to business.

"Doctor Cui, I have a request."

Doctor Cui: "Princess, please speak."

Xie Yingmian said, "It's like this, I want to open a clinic in Shangjing."

"I'm not familiar with Shangjing. I don't have good channels or connections for things like the process of opening a clinic, the supply of medicinal materials, and the doctors."

"Doctor Cui is highly respected and is also the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital. He must have more connections than me."

"I'd like to ask Dr. Cui to help build a bridge and pull some strings."

Doctor Cui was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that Xie Yingmian's unwelcome request was to open a clinic.

Many royal relatives are engaged in business.

There are also many people who open medical clinics.

The masters behind the famous medical clinics in Shangjing are almost all powerful.

The big medical clinics monopolized the good doctors and medicines in Shangjing, and the prices were extremely high, making it difficult for ordinary people to see a doctor.

Doctor Cui was very disgusted by this.

But his words are insignificant and he can't do anything.

When Dr. Cui heard Xie Yingmian say that she wanted to open a clinic, her tone suddenly turned colder: "You want to open a clinic?"

"Yeah." Xie Yingmian said,

"I want to open an affordable clinic so that poor people can also afford to see a doctor."

"Doctor Cui, I grew up on the farm and know how expensive the consultation and medicine are."

"Small clinics are expensive, and large clinics are even more expensive. Many people can't afford medical treatment and can only endure the pain or wait to die."

Xie Yingmian didn't say anything nonsense.

In the original owner's memory, the doctors in this dynasty were expensive to see and the medicine they prescribed was even more expensive.

In an ordinary clinic, common minor illnesses cost a few hundred coins.

A more complicated illness would cost several taels of silver.

No matter how complicated the disease is, most farmers would rather wait for death than seek treatment.

As for those well-known large medical clinics, the prices are extremely high and ordinary people dare not go in.

It can be said that famous medical clinics and famous doctors all serve the rich, which is the convention of this era.

"Before, I didn't know that the old man's identity was so astonishing, nor did I know the weight of his legacy."

"Now that I know I might be the descendant of the Gu Saint, I can't let this old man's abilities go to waste."

"I want to open a clinic not for profit, but simply to treat illnesses. I hope I can make back the cost of the medicinal materials."

"In this way, it won't be considered a disgrace to the old man's lifelong reputation."

Doctor Cui was stunned for a moment.

When he heard that Xie Yingmian was going to open a clinic, he subconsciously thought that she was also making money like those people.

I heard the word "affordable" clinic.

Imperial Physician Cui stood in awe.

The Gu Saint is a legendary figure.

As long as the title of the successor of the Gu Saint gets out, who would dare to disrespect the princess?

The princess did not use this title to promote her own reputation, but she cared about the people and wanted to use the medical skills of the Gu Saint to do something practical for the people.

No wonder the Gu Sage chose the princess as his successor!

He felt ashamed of his character and conduct.

“Affordable medical clinic.”

"Haha, affordable clinic, good, good, good!"

Doctor Cui was so excited that he immediately made the decision: "I am familiar with the procedures for opening a clinic."

"I also know a few familiar medicinal herb merchants. I'll take care of this matter. Princess, please wait for my good news."

"As for the doctor in charge, if the princess doesn't mind, I can recommend myself."
