Chapter 239 I am a miracle doctor, not a bodhisattva
"What are you looking at me for? Let him go! Didn't you come here to ask me to treat him? He's so sick and unconscious, you can't move him around. Just put him on the ground. Saving his life is the most important thing."
There were so many people watching at the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace, and now Fang Yiyun was left lying on the ground exposed...
But everyone knew that what the miracle doctor said was right. When encountering a patient with an unknown condition, one really cannot move around casually. In the end, Duke Enguo and his wife had no choice but to bite the bullet and put Fang Yiyu down.
Doctor Du felt for her pulse and sighed twice, "You should give her more poison. Then you don't have to come to me and can just prepare for her funeral."
"And you, could you have been more careful when feeding your daughter the poison? It even got on her sleeve. You were so nervous doing this for the first time, you didn't even know the poison had a taste. It's okay, it's okay. First time is better than second time. You'll know to be more careful next time."
"But... you poisoned her to this point and asked me to save her. Are you trying to test my medical skills? You're a little too impatient and gave her too much medicine. You should have waited an hour before sending her here. That way, when she arrives, it won't be obvious that she's just been poisoned. We'll only see that she's seriously injured and needs long-term care. That way, you can get into the Regent's Palace."
"Oh, what a pity! Such a good hand of cards was ruined by your impatient idiots."
Duke Enguo's face turned pale after hearing what Divine Doctor Du said, but he still insisted: "Duke Enguo doesn't know what Divine Doctor Du means. Yiyun is my daughter. How could I possibly poison her? Divine Doctor Du must have made a mistake."
"But no matter what, please save my daughter. Whatever the consultation fee is, we will sell everything we have to raise it for you. My daughter must not be in any danger. Please, doctor."
Bu Ruo was secretly sarcastic in his heart, thinking that if he sold everything he had, it was probably the wife's pot that he was selling, and the things he was selling were probably the wife's.
According to Mo Bao's investigation, what the Crown Prince's wife said that day was correct. The Duke of Enguo's Mansion has really been rotten to the core over the years.
Back then, their ancestor happened to save the late emperor when he was going to Beijing for the imperial examination, and he did so in public. When the late emperor asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted to live a good life. So the late emperor made an exception and conferred him the title of Duke of Enguo, and also gave him silver and shops to support him in going to Beijing for the imperial examination. However, the ancestor of the Fang family was short-sighted and gave up the imperial examination, and returned home to live a prosperous life.
He was just a poor scholar, and there had never been a successful person in his family, let alone running a shop and doing business.
After a few years, he had no choice but to live off his savings. Until now, he only has the title of Duke of Enguo, but his house is in ruins and he has to rely on his daughter-in-law's dowry to survive.
Doctor Du was annoyed when he saw Duke Enguo and his wife kowtow. He threw a pill irritably and said, "It can cure poison. But if you get poisoned again after taking it, don't come to me. Just dig a hole and bury it."
"Hey, hey, hey? Duke Enguo, right? Don't open your big mouth. Don't say you can't enter the Regent's Palace. Even if people like you can enter, I won't treat you."
"I can help those in need, but I won't help those who are cunning and seeking death. I'm giving you this detoxification pill today for Ruo'er's sake. Otherwise, even if you kneel here until you die, you won't be able to get a single pill from me."
"Also, this detoxification pill costs five hundred taels of silver. Remember to send it back later."
Jin Congcong watched from the side and his eyes almost fell out. This old man was really cruel. He dared to ask for five hundred taels of silver for just a pill to break the poison. He was not afraid of being put in a sack when he went out.
Doctor Du could tell what he was thinking at a glance, so he grabbed his ear and walked inside. "You know shit, that detoxification pill is top-grade. If I didn't want people to die at the door, I wouldn't be willing to give it out."
"So the cost of your elixir is only five hundred taels? No profit?"
Doctor Du rolled his eyes and said, "How is that possible? I'm a miracle doctor, not a bodhisattva. I have to make a living, too. How could I be as clueless as you? Well... I can only make a small profit of half of the profit from that pill. I really lost a lot."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Aren't you a bit too ruthless, old man? You actually made 200 taels out of 500 taels!"
"Get out of here! I make money based on my skills. If you have that ability, you can go too. Believe it or not, even if I sell this life-saving pill for a thousand taels in the martial arts world, people will still fight over it! Idiot!"
Jin Congcong: Okay, I can’t beat you or scold you, so whatever you say is what it is.
Bu Ruo looked at the Duke of Enguo and his wife who were still lingering at the door, and a hint of impatience flashed across her face. "You all know how Fang Yiyun was poisoned, and you heard what the miracle doctor said. Take the elixir and leave quickly before this princess loses her temper. And remember to have someone send over five hundred taels of silver."
Bu Ruo was walking in when she paused, turned around and said, "This princess advises you to give up those unnecessary thoughts. This princess has a child now and doesn't want to spend so much time on other things, but that doesn't mean that this princess has a good temper."
"Everyone who knows me well knows that I'm very stingy, especially those who want to steal my husband. If I get angry, I can even dig up their ancestral graves."
"If you continue to push your luck and think about unnecessary things, I'm afraid your Duke of En's Mansion will no longer have any reason to exist."
Fang Yiyun woke up after taking the detoxification pill and just happened to hear Bu Ruo's last words. She tightly grasped the Duke's wife's hand, her eyes full of jealousy: "Mother, I must marry the Regent and become the mistress of this Regent's Palace."
Duke Enguo and his wife looked at each other without saying anything. They could only take the person away and then make further plans.
As soon as Bu Ruo and his group returned to the yard, Cen Nan came over.
"Princess, just as you were leaving, Guo Lu pretended to get her clothes wet and, while changing, quietly went to the prince's study. I followed your instructions and did not stop her."
"I just checked and the fake border map that the prince hid in the secret compartment showed signs of being tampered with. I'm sure he's been taken."
At this moment, Bubu staggered over and said, "Mother~Mother~"
Bu Ruo's heart softened, and she quickly bent down and picked up her daughter: "Mom is here, what's wrong~"
"Mom~Xiaobai, angry."
Xiaobai was born by one of the stray dogs that Jin Congcong used to feed. Later, after Jin Congcong's yard was occupied by cats and dogs, the housekeeper kept the little puppy in a small alley nearby. However, for some reason, this little puppy, who was only a few months old, particularly liked Bubu and could always find a place to sneak in and play with her.
