Chapter 49 Undercurrent



Speaking of this holy medical concubine of the Yong Tang Dynasty, she was truly an extraordinary female hero.

According to historical records, this imperial concubine was born into a wealthy merchant family in Yongtang. Unfortunately, when she was still a child, her family was framed by corrupt officials, and she was robbed and killed by bandits sent by local officials while fleeing.

The imperial concubine's mother knew that she could not escape and was definitely on the kill list, so she handed her over to the wet nurse at home and asked the wet nurse to take the imperial concubine away.

Later they hid in a village and lived in great hardship.

When the imperial concubine was seven or eight years old, the Yong Tang Dynasty was hit by drought and fever swept across the country. The wet nurse also had a child at the time, but unexpectedly, she contracted the fever at the same time as the imperial concubine.

At that time, the whole country was scrambling for medicine, and the prices of medicines kept rising. The medicines and food they could buy were really limited.

In the end, the wet nurse chose to save the imperial concubine.

After seeing the tragedy brought by the disease, the imperial concubine decided to become a doctor and save more people. From then on, she studied medicine and traveled to the city to study in a clinic.

Unfortunately, because she was a woman, she was looked down upon by other apprentices in the clinic, so she made up her mind: to use her body as a woman to help the world.

When the illness was serious, the imperial concubine rushed to the disaster area in person and devoted herself to treating everyone. She was also known as the Holy Doctor Fairy.

After accumulating a certain amount of money, the imperial concubine opened a medical clinic. Her fame and extraordinary appearance made her popular.

The imperial concubine who established the clinic found that medical expenses for the wealthy were quite high, so she donated most of the money she earned to the poor people. She also set up the last three days of every month to provide free medical treatment to everyone.

Later, the imperial concubine found that the number of people she could save was very limited, so she began to study various diseases, even risking her life, just to find simple and effective treatments. In the end, she produced corresponding medicines for hundreds of large and small diseases, which were effective and cheap.

Therefore, in the middle of each quarter, her clinic would use part of the previous quarter's profits to make medicines for common diseases in the next quarter and distribute them to poor residents everywhere.

The imperial concubine also compiled the medical skills she had learned into books and spread them to the world, thus becoming famous.

In order to commemorate the imperial concubine of this period, people in later generations designated the middle of the first quarter of each year as the Holy Doctor's Day to commemorate this holy doctor, and this tradition continued until the Song Dynasty.

"Later, this divine doctor fairy was favored by the last emperor of Yong Tang and was made his imperial concubine. She also won the last emperor's unwavering love."

After Yun Li finished speaking, he was still immersed in the story he was telling.

Zhou Zhilu curled his lips slightly. Infatuated? He had used a lie detector to test it, and the last emperor was not infatuated with this imperial concubine at all.

And speaking of this imperial concubine... Zhou Zhilu still remembered the case he experienced in Wanghai County.

The last thing the servant shouted at that time seemed to be the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty... who had turned into ghost money to take revenge!

Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but ask, "What happened to this imperial concubine? How did she die?"

Yun Li recalled, "The book records that the imperial concubine was on her way to another country to spread her medical skills when she was ambushed and killed by a hostile country."

"Ambushed and killed?" Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise.

Yun Li then said with a hint of embarrassment, "Uh...but there's actually a more widely circulated folk saying.

"She was said to be a noble concubine, but in fact she had developed feelings for the prince of another country. She went there to spread her medical skills, but the truth was that she had an affair and ran away.

"But no matter what, in the end, the imperial concubine and the prince were killed in an ambush. This also led to the alliance between Yong Tang and the prince's country, and they worked together to eliminate more than a dozen small countries in the surrounding area."

Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but ponder in his heart, no matter which version it was, the imperial concubine didn't die of natural causes in the end, so the revenge theory seemed reasonable...

The next day, Zhou Zhilu rode his black horse towards the north gate of the capital.

The expression on his face was very helpless. He didn't expect that just after he finished talking with Yun Li about the origin of the Holy Doctor's Day yesterday, Tu Qingna asked him to go to Jiangkang Mansion.

And among the cases to be investigated, there is actually one related to the Illusionary Silkworm.

Thinking back to what Tu Qing said yesterday with an apologetic look on his face, he said, "This mission is a heavy responsibility and shouldn't be placed on you. But now that things have come to this, I can only try my best to help you.

"The Monster Appraisal Department needs a large number of personnel to go to the northern border, but I have communicated with other departments and will allocate some people to support you.

"There is a support department of the Fuye Division in Jiangkang Prefecture. You can use the token Wenlan gave you to get them to cooperate with you.

"This mission shouldn't be too dangerous. The important thing is to get a result. Remember...if there's no result, blame it on the demon clan!"

Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but sigh. As a worker, he could only follow his superiors' instructions...

When he reached the city gate, he saw more than a dozen figures from various tribes gathering outside the gate. He couldn't help but smile: "Quite a few familiar faces."

I saw Banxia and Bandong from the Dark Department, and Yunli from the Demon Sealing Department were among them.

At this time, on a mountain top in the north of Jiangkang Prefecture, several figures stood on the edge of the cliff, looking into the distance.

Looking more closely, although these figures have human bodies, they have some elements of demons in their upper and lower parts.

The leading yellow-haired man with leopard eyes turned to look at his four teammates behind him and sneered, "Every year during the Holy Doctor's Festival, a large number of important officials from the human race gather. Our mission is to kill as many of them as possible and then ruin their Holy Doctor's Festival!

"Sunset Eagle did a great job, stealthily killing two human officials. But...why did I hear that another official also died at the time?"

A tall man with an eagle's beak squinted and smiled. "I don't know the specifics, but humans are always good at fighting among themselves. It's none of our business anyway, and my skills are very sophisticated. They will never doubt us."

"Hahaha, great!" the leopard-eyed man laughed. "The Sky-Swallowing Python has already lurked in the deep mountains to the west. Burning Sky Mole, you dig a hole underground and wait for an opportunity under the city. Tongtian Ape and Suiying Monkey, the two of you lurk in the city and strike when the opportunity arises. Kill as many officials as you can, understand?"

"Yes! Captain!"

“What’s our slogan?!”

"Do everything you can to kill humanity!!!"

only……

On the west side of Jiangkang Prefecture, in a mountain that reaches into the sky, there lies a black python that is so huge that it is unimaginable.

But at this moment, the giant python's eyes were full of sleepiness.

"Oh, oh, the temperature on the mountain is too low... I really want to sleep, what should I do?"

At the same time, in the imperial palace of the capital, a small figure quietly slipped out and ran away.

In the Taoist temple in the north, a young man in Taoist robes was kicked down the mountain.

In a village not far from the capital, a woman stood at the entrance, looking at the letter in her hand, and said softly: "The president has ordered that we should set off..."

As soon as the words fell, countless people who were working in the village put down what they were doing, stood up, and looked at the girl in front of them with shining eyes.

The Holy Doctor Festival seemed to have stirred up countless forces...
