May 20th, auspicious opening day.
The original Huichuntang was shut down by the imperial court because its owner harbored spies from the enemy country.
It has now been renamed Chen's Medical Clinic and reopened.
Today is the opening day of Chen's Medical Clinic. Early in the morning, the entrance of Chen's Medical Clinic was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and the lion dance troupe presented one amazing performance after another amidst the sound of gongs and drums.
The locals, hearing the commotion, gathered around and inquired about who the new owner of Chen's Medical Clinic was.
Fu Bai stood at the entrance of the clinic, watching the surging crowd, a faint smile always playing on his lips.
Old Mrs. Chen stood beside him, dressed in clean and neat clothes, her gray hair combed back up. She looked at the people outside the clinic with great pleasure.
"If it weren't for my dear grandson, Grandma would probably have spent the rest of her life in the inner quarters, and would never have had the chance to come out and contribute her remaining energy."
Fu Bai helped the old lady up, smiling sweetly: "Grandma, just focus on your clinic. One day, the whole capital will know that you are a gynecological expert."
Madam Chen, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Then I also want to bask in Fufu's glory and become a renowned female doctor far and wide."
After exchanging a few casual words, the opening ceremony of Chen's Medical Clinic came to an end.
The common people also knew that Chen's Medical Clinic was run by the Chen family, who were imperial physicians in the palace.
Upon hearing that it was owned by the imperial physicians, the word "authoritative" was immediately etched into the minds of the people, and for a time no one questioned the medical skills of the doctor in charge of the clinic.
So, as soon as Chen's Medical Clinic opened, people came in wanting to try the medical skills of the imperial physicians.
But when they entered the clinic and saw the three doctors on duty, they were dumbfounded.
Wasn't it said to be a clinic run by an imperial physician?
Why are there two women and a young man serving as doctors?
A woman treating patients? Are you kidding me?
Moreover, that young man looks far too young; can he really cure diseases?
At this point, people who wanted to come in for treatment were all discouraged.
Before he could even leave, Nanxing approached him with a smile and asked, "May I ask if this gentleman is here to see a doctor for himself or to get medicine for a family member?"
While the man was still looking bewildered, Nanxing smacked his lips and uttered a long string of words.
"This is the old lady from the family of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Doctor Zhou. She is skilled in treating women's diseases. When there are patients, the curtain in her consultation room will be drawn, and no one can see what is happening inside."
Nanxing then pointed to the eldest wife of the Chen family, "This is Doctor Wang. She is skilled in treating children's diseases and is the eldest wife of the head of the hospital."
"Sir, you may not know Dr. Zhou and Dr. Wang well, but if you go to Yanzhou and ask around, you'll find that Dr. Zhou is a renowned gynecologist in Yanzhou, having treated many women's difficult and complicated diseases. Dr. Wang is the same."
After introducing the old lady and the first wife, Nanxing coughed and began to formally introduce his young master.
"The last doctor on duty is the direct grandson of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and has inherited the head of the Imperial Medical Academy's true skills. He can treat any difficult or complicated disease!"
Finally, some commoners realized what was happening and frowned, saying, "Is this the Chen family from the Imperial Hospital who were betrothed to Prince Li by the Emperor? Is your new employer the Princess Li?"
There was no point in hiding it; it couldn't be concealed anyway. So Nanxing openly admitted, "Our new employer is none other than the Princess Consort of Li."
Then someone said with apprehension, "This is the Queen Consort's clinic, so isn't it also the King's clinic?"
As is widely known, the Tyrant King was insane.
If the King of Li were to have a fit of madness and cause trouble at the clinic, wouldn't all of us who came for treatment be in trouble?
These people practically wore their fear on their faces.
Nanxing had received training from Fubai beforehand and knew how to handle such situations.
He coughed again, drawing everyone's attention back to him.
"Please rest assured, everyone. Our Princess is a highly skilled physician. She can even cure the Prince's madness. All your worries are in vain."
Immediately, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Can the princess really cure the prince's madness?"
After speaking, the man pushed through the crowd and limped to Nanxing, looking at her with eager eyes.
Nanxing looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.
Strange, the young master didn't mention finding a shill for him.
Nanxing was puzzled, but he remained calm on the surface and nodded without hesitation: "It can be cured."
Upon receiving Nanxing's affirmative answer, the man's tears streamed down his face.
Nanxing: ? ! !
This actor's acting is actually pretty good; he can't be outdone.
As soon as Nanxing thought this, the man walked towards Fubai's direction.
Anyone could see that there was something wrong with his foot; he walked with one foot deep and the other shallow, and he dared not put any weight on his left foot.
But he took each step with unwavering determination.
Fu Bai was sitting behind his desk, and since no patients had come for treatment yet, he wasn't in a hurry.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up.
He was a middle-aged man around thirty years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with rugged features and a scar running from the corner of his right eye to the corner of his mouth, making his face look ferocious.
The other person walked up to Fu Bai with a deep and shallow gaze, and suddenly knelt down in front of Fu Bai.
Fu Bai frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this?"
The man kowtowed to Fu Bai, then knelt and cupped his hands, saying, "This humble subject, He Er, greets Your Highness."
Fu Bai asked Nan Xing to come over and help He Er up. He then had a chair brought over for He Er to sit on.
He Er did not sit down, but stared intently at Fu Bai with his tiger-like eyes.
He said in a strong voice, "I was originally a lowly soldier in the border army. I was fortunate to be saved by Your Highness on the battlefield, which saved my life."
"Later, he was discharged from the border army and returned home because of a leg injury. He learned that the prince had gone mad. The commoner and his family prayed for the prince every day."
“I’ve been to the battlefield and know how terrible war and foreign tribes are. They kill people like madmen.”
"I am just wounded in the leg, but countless comrades died on the battlefield and were buried in foreign lands."
"It was the prince who intimidated the foreign enemies, preventing them from invading the border again. Only then were the people and soldiers of the border city able to recuperate and thrive."
"If something happens to Your Highness, I dare not imagine what kind of hell the border town or even the Grand Gathering will fall into."
"Your Highness, your ability to cure the Prince's madness is like curing the pillar of our Great Sheng, and it has also stabilized the morale of hundreds of thousands of border troops."
That's why He Er, a former border soldier who survived because of the King of Li, gave Fu Bai a deep bow.
He knew better than anyone that the existence of the Tyrant King was the foundation for the peaceful and prosperous lives of the people of Dasheng.
He Er looked at Fu Bai with unwavering determination.
Fu Bai smiled upon hearing this, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, let me take a look at your feet."
He Er lowered his eyes, concealing the sadness in them: "I won't trouble the Princess, my leg is already useless."
It's been interrupted for several years, and it just won't get better.
Nanxing grabbed He Er's shoulder and forced him into a chair.
"Please sit down. Whether it will be better or not, we'll know after our princess examines it."
