It was getting dark, so Liu Moyang had someone set up a fire.
While there was still some light, Shulan picked up her brush and quickly wrote down the necessary herbs on the paper, while also instructing, "Try not to move around or drink alcohol these days, and get plenty of rest."
Although he was still feeling unwell, Liu Zi felt much better after swallowing the chewed white snake tongue grass.
With his dark skin and robust build, he felt somewhat flustered and shy for the first time when facing the General's wife.
After all, he had previously privately criticized his wife, saying that a woman like her wasn't even worthy of carrying shoes for their general.
But now, after being treated by the lady, he felt a little embarrassed, and for the first time, he sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Madam."
If it weren't for the lady, these rough men would probably be dead here today.
He was not afraid of death; he had killed many enemies and was always prepared to die.
He would rather kill more enemies on the battlefield than suffer the humiliation of losing his life to a poisonous snake.
Shulan remained calm: "Don't take it to heart. I am a doctor, and saving lives is my mission."
At this moment, everyone's torches came over, and someone carefully held them up next to Shulan so that she could write more clearly.
As Shulan felt the heat of the torch, a sudden idea struck her. She looked at Liu Zi's leg and asked, "Has your leg been injured before?"
She had long considered the feasibility of establishing a medical clinic at the border.
Firstly, she was a young woman. Even in modern times, people would think that someone who was young and inexperienced was unreliable, let alone in ancient times.
But in that instant, she suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
Although it may seem a bit unethical, this might be the best opportunity for everyone to quickly accept their new identity.
She doesn't need everyone to think well of her, but she also doesn't need everyone to look at her with disgust like before.
He Fengmian, who was about to leave, paused and looked at the person who was still writing prescriptions and was not looking in his direction at all.
Liu Zi didn't notice anything unusual about his general's expression, and just nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, he injured his leg three years ago."
That injury was quite serious, and it left me with a leg ache whenever the weather changes.
He was just a man of great endurance; even when his legs hurt, he never showed it.
Over time, everyone forgot that he had injured his leg before.
Shulan said confidently, "It must hurt a lot when it rains or the weather changes, and sometimes when it's cold you can't even lift your legs. You have to massage and rub them to feel better."
Liu Zi's eyes widened. If others weren't unaware of this matter, he would probably have assumed that the madam had specifically inquired about it.
At this point, he didn't care about losing face and nodded vigorously: "Yes, it hurts a lot. Does Madam have any way to help?"
His eyes held a glimmer of hope, wondering if the lady could see through his ailment at a glance and perhaps cure it.
Unbeknownst to everyone, He Fengmian's eyes also revealed a strange emotion when he heard these words.
After writing the prescription, Shulan gave a pretentious smile as she let the ink dry: "Of course, it's because my medical skills are pretty good. If you want to improve your leg problems in the future, you can come to my clinic to find me."
Once she reached the border, she used the blueprints to persuade He Fengmian to allow her to open a clinic.
To save face, Xie Huilin gave a generous dowry.
When she left, Old Madam He let her take everything she could, which, if you calculate it, is estimated to be several thousand taels.
With so much money, opening a clinic is definitely not a problem.
If you want people to trust your medical skills, then you need to find some free publicity.
Saying something a hundred times is not as effective as having someone else see the results for them.
She took the opportunity to say, "As a doctor, my job is to treat illnesses and benefit everyone. In the future, if you have a headache, fever, cuts, or burns, you can come to me."
She grinned, revealing her teeth, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not one to hold grudges. I won't hold a grudge against anyone for how they treated me in the past, and I won't do anything underhanded."
Everyone: "..."
Seeing the different reactions from everyone, Shulan couldn't help but laugh.
Knowing when to stop, she said to the mother and daughter who had been by her side, "Aunt Chen, I'm hungry, let's go back for dinner."
Chen Ma quickly said, "I'll go do it."
She jogged away, afraid that her young lady would go hungry.
After everyone left, they gradually started setting up their tents again.
He Fengmian instructed his deputy: "From now on, carefully inspect all the places where you set up camp, and also sprinkle some medicinal powder on them."
"Yes, General." The one who answered was the burly man who had led the way to find Shulan earlier. His surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Meng. He was one of the lieutenants.
Despite his fierce appearance and seemingly simple-minded but physically strong appearance, he is actually a shrewd and capable general who is skilled in both killing enemies and leading troops. He is highly valued by He Fengmian.
After handing over the instructions, He Fengmian and Liu Moyang left together.
Once everyone had walked away, they asked with concern, "Liu Zi, how are you feeling?"
Lying there, Liu Zi laughed heartily: "I didn't die. In a few days, I'll be a hero again."
Someone couldn't help but say, "I never expected that Madam's medical skills were so remarkable."
"Indeed, I think the lady looks delicate, but she is very skilled at cutting wounds with a dagger."
"I don't think Madam is as annoying as that bastard surnamed Xie."
The Right Chancellor had caused a lot of trouble for the He family army in the court, and as his son-in-law, Vice Minister Xie was naturally disliked by everyone.
But now, they think that this Miss Xie is actually a pretty nice person.
Some people thought it was good, but others still didn't believe that the Xie family would be so kind: "They're just pretending, just so we'll all believe her, so they can work together with her father to deal with the General."
