Chapter 405 Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 14

Pei Yu was stunned at first, then smiled and shook his head: "When did you learn to be so smooth-talking?"

This attitude clearly shows that he doesn't take Cha Jiu's words to heart.

Just treat it as childish talk.

Cha Jiu didn't explain much, just smiled sweetly and continued to read her book.

But he ignored the deepening of Pei Yu's eyes and the tangled fingertips under his wide sleeves.

At this time, Yun An came in and asked, "Your Highness, today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, which is the day when the ghost doctor comes to the Yun Mansion. Should we go and ask him?"

Originally he was waiting for someone from the Yun Mansion to notify him.

But after waiting for a long time, the sun was about to set, and there was still no news.

Pei Yu suppressed the tenderness in his eyes and turned a little cold, "No need to ask."

Yun An was puzzled: "Why?"

Pei Yu said calmly: "If the Yun family really wanted to introduce me, they would have come a long time ago. Do we need to wait for us to ask in person?"

Yun An actually vaguely guessed the Yun family's attitude.

However, for the sake of His Highness's health, he still shamelessly walked over and asked.

The answer I got was: Eucommia ulmoides was not here today.

Yun An frowned: "But didn't your young lady say that the ghost doctor would come to see her on the fifth day of the New Year? Isn't today the fifth day of the New Year?"

The servant of the Yun residence laughed and said, "How can we be sure? This ghost doctor travels all over the world and has no trace. I guess he was delayed on the way."

Yun An returned disappointed.

As a result, on the second day, the news that the ghost doctor had entered the palace to treat the emperor's health spread throughout the capital.

Yun An was furious: "The Yun family is really lying!"

Pei Yu, however, was very calm.

From the moment he fell into poverty, he knew that the Yun family would never waste the opportunity to hire a ghost doctor to treat him.

Cha Jiu was afraid that Pei Yu would be sad, so she pulled his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yu looked down at her.

Cha Jiu looked him in the eye seriously and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. In six years at most, I will be able to cure your hand and the disease in your mother's womb."

Pei Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "So confident?"

Cha Jiu nodded: "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

Pei Yu smiled and rubbed her head, his tone filled with doting that he himself was not aware of.

"Xin, then I'll leave the rest of my life to you."

Cha Jiu patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me!"

All the servants in the room laughed.

The dark clouds brought about by the Yun family's betrayal were temporarily forgotten.

…

No one took Cha Jiu's bold words seriously.

But Chajiu is working hard.

From reading medical books, identifying herbs, practicing acupuncture with a mannequin... to personally walking around the mountains and fields near the city suburbs, providing free medical treatment to the poor people and accumulating experience.

Cha Jiu's medical skills are improving rapidly.

Not only did he cure Pei Yu's fetal disease one year ahead of the promised six years, but he also saved many poor people who had no money to see a doctor, and earned the title of "Little Miracle Doctor" in the suburbs of Beijing.

As time went by, Cha Jiu felt that this feeling was somewhat strange.

"What's the wonderful method?" Pei Yu asked after listening to Cha Jiu's story about his medical experience in the carriage.

The two had just paid tribute to Yun Zhichu's mother, the peasant woman who had difficulty giving birth.

At that time, Pei Yu sent people to find the grave where Old Lady Yun had buried the body casually, and then moved it to another Feng Shui treasure land for reburial.

But Pei Yu's people could not find any clues about the peasant woman's identity.

While eating the cake, Cha Jiu thought and answered: "My original intention of practicing medicine was for you, but later I found that using what I learned to treat those poor people is also a very sacred and satisfying thing."

Yesterday, I saved a child who had been suffering from impetigo for several months. His mother had planned to sell herself to earn money to go to the city to find a doctor for the child.

Fortunately, Cha Jiu’s rescue saved the future of both of them.

Pei Yu smiled and sighed: "You have grown up, and the world in your eyes will naturally not only see me anymore."

His tone sounded teasing.

But a barely perceptible shadow appeared in his eyes.

Fortunately, Cha Jiu shook his head and retorted immediately: "No, although saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, but if I have to choose between the people and Your Highness, I will definitely choose Your Highness."

The haze in Pei Yu's eyes dissipated and his brows relaxed.

Cha Jiu: "But I know that His Highness is a kind-hearted person and will definitely not ignore the people, right?"

Pei Yu didn't say anything.

If it were in the past, the answer would be yes.

But now...

He just smiled faintly without saying anything, and raised his hand to wipe away the cake crumbs on Cha Jiu's lips.

Cha Jiu secretly complained: "Pei Yu has changed."

The system also said: "Who said it wasn't?"

Cha Jiu's soft lips became even more rosy and attractive under Pei Yu's repeated massage with his fingertips.

It even has an alluring glow.

He wanted to look away.

But my eyes couldn't help but stay on it.

Cha Jiu: “… and became sultry.”

System: “Who said…”

Suddenly, the carriage braked suddenly and the body of the carriage shook.

Pei Yu's gentle eyes suddenly became sharp. He quickly pulled Cha Jiu, who was sitting opposite him, into his arms and used his body to block all possible attacks from the assassin.

Fortunately, the driver reported it quickly and it was an accident.

A person in front suddenly fell down with foam at the mouth. Everyone screamed and dodged, which startled the horses.

After hearing this, Cha Jiu curiously opened the curtain of the carriage and observed the situation from afar.

The person lying on the ground was a young man in fancy clothes, who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.

He was foaming at the mouth, rolling his eyes, twitching all over, and making intermittent pig-like noises. He looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit.

Cha Jiu could tell at a glance that he was having an epileptic seizure.

But there was one thing that puzzled her very much.

"This is the center of the capital, and there are four or five clinics around here. This young man is wearing fancy clothes and doesn't look like someone who can't afford the medical treatment. Why didn't anyone come to treat him?"

Pei Yu looked at the young man in fancy clothes lying on the ground and said calmly, "He is General Xue's son, Xue Ling."

"General Xue holds military power and has a bad temper. He disdains to associate with any faction in the court, so he has offended many people. Some of the doctors in these clinics are friends with the families that are hostile to him, so naturally they will not save Xue Ling."

"And ordinary doctors are afraid of killing General Xue's only son. It would be better to stand aside and do nothing."

Cha Jiu frowned: "How can a medical student be so obsessed with fortune and avoid disaster? He is wasting human life. The medical practice in the capital is really too bad."

Pei Yu glanced at the silent clinics with an indifferent look, and said with a slightly mocking tone: "This world has long been turbid. Everywhere you look, there are people who are greedy and profit-seeking."

"You are the only one who has always maintained a pure heart."

He softened his voice as he spoke the last sentence.

It seems to be appreciation, it seems to be love.

Cha Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Then can I save him?"

If she couldn't, she would understand.

After all, under Pei Yu's years of planning, the emperor's attitude had softened a lot.

But if you want to get that position, you still have to be cautious.

Pei Yu looked down at her, smiling: "I've said it before, you can do whatever you want with confidence when you are with me."

Just one Xue Ling.

Even if he was cured, with his current secret influence in the capital, he could make General Xue swallow the bitter fruit and not dare to act recklessly.
