Chapter 270 Kowtowing to Her Every Day
Xiao Xuanting immediately turned around and stood still, stretched his waist and legs, and asked with a frown, "Are you talking about Aunt Nuan?"
Sanqi nodded subconsciously.
Xiao Xuanting frowned, tilted his head, and pondered for a moment before asking, "Sanqi, so when you came to our house to see Aunt Nuan, was it to treat Father Emperor's illness?"
He knew it; his Aunt Nuan was incredibly powerful. Much more powerful than the legendary Doctor Que!
Sanqi nodded in shock again: "Your Highness, you've seen me before?" Xiao Xuanting: "Yes, I have, but I hid, so you didn't see me."
Sanqi suddenly realized: "So all these days, the people who saved His Highness and took care of him have all been Physician Jiang."
Xuan Ting nodded: "Yes, I've been staying at Aunt Nuan's house. And An Dehai was also saved by Aunt Nuan. By the way, Aunt Nuan's name is Jiang Nuanzhi, but everyone calls her Doctor Jiang."
"Good! Good, good, good! As expected of her!"
Suddenly, Doctor Magpie burst into laughter, plopped down on the ground, slapped his thigh, and laughed until tears streamed down his face.
"So it was her. It turns out I've only ever lost to this one person all along..."
It turned out that it wasn't that his medical skills were lacking, but rather that An Dehai had also been treated by Doctor Jiang. Doctor Que was truly impressed by Jiang Nuanzhi.
He accepted defeat wholeheartedly, which at least proved that not just any random doctor could be better than him.
"I thought Aunt Nuan was already amazing, but I never imagined that the divine physician who saved Father Emperor was also her." Xuan Ting's eyes sparkled as he rubbed his hands together, thinking to himself that even if Li Junping really failed the exam, he could just tell Father Emperor to bring Aunt Nuan and her entourage to the capital. He figured Father Emperor wouldn't refuse, after all, Aunt Nuan was also his savior!
"Your Highness is right, Physician Jiang... is truly remarkable. His magnanimity is also beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Sanqi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"With such a good prescription, this prescription can be given directly to the Emperor. It should make the detoxification process smoother. The Emperor will recover soon." Doctor Que held the two prescriptions, still excited.
But after saying that, he looked puzzled and asked, "If Doctor Jiang has such a good prescription, why didn't you give it to me in the first place?"
He performed acupuncture on the emperor every day to detoxify him, working himself to the bone in sweat. If he had obtained this prescription earlier, he wouldn't have had to go through all this.
"It seems Doctor Jiang forgot to mention it, or perhaps he thought we had a remedy to treat the remaining poison," Sanqi said. Surely it wasn't intentional, was it?
Of the group, only An Dehai looked completely bewildered.
"Your Highness, could it be that the revered physician who saved His Majesty is actually that country bumpkin?"
As he said this, as if to ease the awkwardness, he even gave a couple of dry laughs.
Jiang Nuanzhi's face inexplicably appeared in my mind, along with her small, cramped house, the chickens, ducks, and geese in the yard, and the cloth hanging at the door for treating the animals...
He had previously sent out Nineteen to investigate, and they said that the woman really did treat animals, and seemed to be quite famous in Liujiang County.
They say she's a divine physician who saved the emperor? How could that be? Heh, they must be mistaken…
"An Dehai!"
Suddenly, he heard an unpleasant voice, which snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up and realized that things were not going well.
It was clear that everyone, including Doctor Que, Sanqi, and even his master, were looking at him with unfriendly expressions.
The divine physician said, "Your Highness, this servant of yours is outspoken and disrespectful to the divine physician. He should be disciplined."
Sanqi: "Grandmaster is right."
Xiao Xuanting's face also turned cold: "An Dehai, haven't I told you? You are not allowed to disrespect Aunt Nuan."
An Dehai met the fierce gazes of the crowd and swallowed hard: "This servant...this servant knows his mistake."
He was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
But the next second, the curtain of the carriage that the emperor had just lowered was lifted again.
An Dehai turned his head and saw that the Emperor looked somewhat surprised: "What's going on? Xuan Ting, you said that Physician Jiang is the Nuan Yi you mentioned?"
When An Dehai heard the Emperor speak, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Luckily, the Nineteenth Prince beside him pulled him up, and he managed to steady himself.
He swallowed hard, looked at Nineteen beside him, and lowered his voice, "Um... you said if I send that doctor... no, I mean that miracle doctor some big gifts, could we mend our relationship?"
Nineteen forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Nineteen clearly remembered that when His Highness left, he discussed with Lord An whether they should leave some money for Physician Jiang. Lord An firmly refused, saying it was an honor to have His Highness's favor. He added that if they received money, these commoners might become clingy to His Highness and be difficult to deal with.
They also said that if Doctor Jiang really wanted it, they would give him a hundred taels of silver to get rid of him. However, Doctor Jiang never mentioned the silver. Instead, he packed a large bag of things and gave it to their master.
Thinking this, he glanced at An Dehai and cleared his throat, saying, "Perhaps Doctor Jiang is broad-minded and won't hold it against you. After all, she's not a high-ranking official in the capital and doesn't understand these social etiquette rules..."
An Dehai's face flushed red with anger, the more he thought about it, the worse he became, until finally he slapped himself across the face. He then looked at Nineteen beside him, equally furious, and shouted, "Hey, you were the one who told me that His Highness was taken in by some country bumpkin woman whose name is completely fabricated! You even said she often did menial jobs and her medical skills must be terrible! If that weren't the case, I would have misunderstood!!!"
Nineteen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said righteously, "I didn't say that, I don't know, how could that be?"
An Dehai: "...!!!"
An Dehai was furious, but he couldn't care less about the present moment. He had to deal with the Nineteenth one first, because the Doctor Magpie rushed to the Emperor's carriage with lightning speed and angrily complained.
“Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely correct. However, I noticed that An Dehai seems quite dissatisfied with Physician Jiang. I wonder if he feels that Physician Jiang shouldn’t have saved you and the Sixth Prince.”
After thinking for a moment, I added:
He also called Dr. Jiang a stupid country bumpkin.
An Dehai was so frightened he almost lost his mind. He rushed forward and knelt down with a thud: "This servant is guilty! It's all my fault for my foul mouth! This servant absolutely did not mean it! My admiration for Physician Jiang is like a surging, endless river. I have never intended to be disrespectful. When I return, I will enshrine Physician Jiang and kowtow to her every day to express my gratitude for the great kindness she has shown in saving His Majesty and His Highness!"
An Dehai was so angry that he slapped himself twice.
If he had known this would happen, he would have just treated the person like an ancestor, which is exactly what he does best.
"She saved you too." Xiao Xuanting rolled his eyes at him and added.
"Yes, yes, this servant will always remember Doctor Jiang's life-saving grace."
The Emperor did not look at him, but instead beckoned to Xuan Ting.
"Sixth Prince, come up here. Tell me about her."
