The eldest princess felt like she had found a treasure after receiving Lin Dan's prescription. She drank one dose at noon and one dose in the afternoon. When she went to bed at night, the Yin fire in the soles of her feet was indeed weakened a lot. She even felt a little cold when she was exposed outside the quilt. The effect was immediate. She had never had a good night's sleep since she gave birth to her son, but she slept particularly soundly tonight. When she woke up in the morning, the blush on her cheeks had faded, and she felt relaxed, as if several hundred pounds of burden had been unloaded overnight.
"Your Highness, how do you feel?" Two senior palace maids came over and asked.
"I feel better than ever!" The princess said with a refreshed look, "Let's go check on Min'er. Doctor Lin's medicine is very effective. I feel much better after taking only two doses. Min'er should also be feeling better."
The group hurried to the young master's courtyard, pulled him out of bed even though he was still asleep, and lifted up his clothes to check. Before going to bed last night, Lin Dan had prepared a pill of rejuvenation powder and ordered the servants to mix it with water and apply it to him, without rubbing it all night. As of this morning, the medicine had dried up, leaving only a strong smell of medicine. The swelling on his abnormal chest had also disappeared, leaving only a slight bulge.
The eldest princess was overjoyed and cheered loudly. Zhu Yimin woke up slowly and saw that his clothes had been stripped off by his two aunts. He exclaimed at first, and then noticed the changes in his chest. He looked at it in disbelief for a few times, pinched it again, then threw himself into the eldest princess' arms, crying with joy: "Mother, I'm much better! Mother, it doesn't hurt down there anymore! Mother, I finally don't have to be a woman anymore, it's so great, woo woo woo..."
The princess rubbed his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Who told you that you were going to be a woman? You were born a boy, could your mother have mistaken your gender? This time, thanks to Doctor Lin, otherwise your chest would have only gotten bigger and bigger. Go and apologize to her and make amends later, okay? Without her, you don't know what will happen to you in the future!"
"I know, I know! As long as the pain in my chest goes away, you would even let me kowtow to her." Zhu Yimin covered his chest with his hands, his face full of gratitude. Lin Dan’s kindness to him is like a rebirth, and he will definitely repay her well in the future!
After being excited for a long time, Zhu Yimin grabbed the princess' sleeve again and asked nervously, "Mother, are you feeling better? Did you sleep well last night?"
"I'm much better now. Doctor Lin's medicine is really amazing. After only two doses, my Yin Fire has been brought under control. She said that both of our symptoms would be gone within seven days, and it seems she was not lying." The eldest princess was full of admiration.
A senior palace maid exclaimed in admiration, "This Doctor Lin is truly amazing. She is so young but her medical skills are so advanced. So many diseases that the imperial physicians cannot cure are cured by her. She does not replenish the Yin fire or the Yang fire, but directly replenishes the True fire. When she told us her treatment plan yesterday, we were all shocked. Her method is really, really..." She pondered for a long time and could not find words to describe it.
The princess smiled and said, "Her technique is fast, ruthless and accurate. She doesn't look like a doctor, but more like a decisive general. It is said that a doctor's style of doing things can be seen from his medical techniques. I finally believe this. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital have been in the officialdom for a long time. One by one, they have learned Tai Chi and are becoming more and more conservative in using medicine. They can't cure the disease, and they can't live. Doctor Lin's treatment method that goes straight to the inside is really rare. In the future, our Marquis' Mansion will rely on Doctor Lin for many things. You must serve her well, understand?"
The two senior palace maids quickly agreed with solemn expressions.
Just at this moment, a maid came in and whispered, "Your Highness, General Xue Boyong is here and wants to take Doctor Lin back."
"Go back? Where to?" The eldest princess looked surprised. Judging from Lin Dan's clothes, she thought she was indeed a country girl.
"Go back to the Xue Mansion. It turns out that Doctor Lin is an orphan taken in by General Xue. She went out to collect herbs yesterday and was bumped into by the prince."
"In that case, you should go and ask Doctor Lin for help. It will be up to Doctor Lin to decide whether to go or stay. Don't try to stop him." The princess gave serious instructions, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had never been rude to Doctor Lin, otherwise she would not only have offended Xue Boyong, but also ruined her son's life.
Although Xue Boyong was paralyzed, he was still a trusted minister in the emperor's heart. Ever since he left the frontier and returned to the capital to recuperate, the Wei and Wu kingdoms had frequently sent troops to invade, but no one could wipe out the bandits and pacify the country like he did. Without him, the Qin State is like a tiger without teeth, and anyone can dare to touch its whiskers. The more this happened, the more the emperor realized his importance, and now he is mobilizing the entire country to find a miracle doctor for him.
Thinking of the miracle doctor, the princess immediately thought of Lin Dan and said, "Since Doctor Lin is here, his legs..."
The maid immediately replied: "Your Highness, General Xue came here on foot."
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, looking as if she knew it was true. She said that with Doctor Lin here, how could Xue Boyong's legs be incurable? In this case, these two people must not be offended, and maybe I should even meet them in person. Thinking of this, she immediately walked towards the backyard. She saw the two people looking at each other from afar, but she pursed her lips and smiled, then quietly retreated. No wonder he was chasing her so eagerly, it turned out that he was in love with her...
Seeing Xue Boyong standing in front of him, Lin Dan was surprised: "Brother, you didn't sleep well last night, you have dark circles under your eyes."
Xue Boyong touched his eyelids and said with a wry smile, "How can I sleep if I can't find you? Lin Dan, are you willing to go back with me?"
Lin Dan immediately shook his head: "No."
This answer was obviously within Xue Boyong's expectations, so he did not show any disappointment, but just nodded slightly with dim eyes. Sometimes he felt that Lin Dan was very close to him, as if he could grab her with just a stretch of his hand, but sometimes he felt that she was very far away from him and would disappear if he glanced at her. Because of this, he had tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, but now, the thing he feared most finally happened. Lin Dan is such a strong and independent person, if she wants to leave, no one can stop her.
He lowered his eyes, silently savoring the bitterness in his heart.
Lin Dan was the most sensitive to his emotions, and patiently explained, "Brother, the reason why I don't want to go back to the Xue Mansion is not because you treat me badly, but because I don't get the respect I deserve. They treat me as an object, not an independent personality. They can give my things away whenever they want, enter my room whenever they want, and they can decide whether I want to leave or stay with just one sentence. My value is based on your health, and I am just an optional accessory. But brother, when I go out, I will be a person with a name, a surname, and flesh and blood. The label on my head is no longer the adopted daughter of the Xue Mansion, but Lin Dan, a real Lin Dan. Brother, do you understand how I feel?"
Xue Boyong's eyes were sore and he nodded repeatedly: "I understand, of course I understand. I have said long ago that whether I am good or not has nothing to do with you. Saving you is my wish. I have never blamed you. In fact, every time I think of that day, I am glad for my choice. I suffered for you so that you can live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. Your good life is the most important thing to me. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. I won't force you."
Lin Dan let out a long sigh, and a smile finally appeared on his fair face.
Xue Boyong also laughed and continued, "It's just that I want to take you to a place to have a look. Are you willing?"
Lin Dan nodded and said, "Yes." She still trusted her elder brother very much.
The two men left the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and came to a shop on Xinglin Street. Outside were three large connected blue brick and tile houses, which could be used as a medicine hall, pharmacy and warehouse. Inside was a square courtyard that could be used for living. There was a plaque hanging on the door beam at the top, with the three big characters "Jishi Tang" inscribed on it. Now it was being carefully taken down by two guards from the Xue Mansion with a ladder.
"This is the clinic I gave you. The original owner was suppressed by the Xuancaotang across the street and had no business to do, so it has closed down." Xue Boyong lifted the car curtain and pointed at the shop.
Lin Dan was about to shake his head, but he immediately added, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to what Big Brother has to say. This clinic is not given away for free by Big Brother. If you make money in the future, Big Brother will take 50% of the profit. In addition, if Big Brother gets sick, you must treat him for free. Is that okay?"
Lin Dan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."
Xue Boyong's eyes darkened, and he added, "Don't rush to agree. This agreement is valid for life. In other words, if I get sick in this life, no matter where you are, you must rush back to treat me."
Lin Dan nodded again, saying decisively: "Of course!"
Xue Boyong then laughed happily.
At this moment, Wu Xuancao saw the carriage of the Xue Mansion, and through the open curtains, she found Xue Boyong and Lin Dan sitting inside. She immediately came over and said, "Brother Xue, the book you took yesterday is mine. Can you give it back to me?"
"Oh, since it's yours, why is Lin Chaoxian's name written on the title page? Who is Lin Chaoxian? Lin Dan, do you know him?" The first half of Xue Boyong's sentence was full of sarcasm, but the second half was gentle as water.
"Lin Chaoxian is my ancestor. I have a family tree here. Would you like to see it, Doctor Wu?" Lin Dan reacted quickly and immediately continued his elder brother's words.
Wu Xuancao had no evidence to prove that the book was hers, and the names of all the Lin family's ancestors were clearly written in the book. Even if she went to court, she would definitely lose. Fortunately, she had a photographic memory and had already memorized the contents of the book. It didn't matter whether she could get it back or not. She just couldn't stand Xue Boyong's bandit face.
"Brother Xue, you should understand the principle of 'leave a way out when doing things, so that you can see him in the future'. Your legs are still paralyzed, so don't offend the doctor too much. You must know that one day in the future, you may need help from him." After studying the book "Xinglinchun", Wu Xuancao already has some internal strength. As long as this internal strength is combined with acupuncture and massage, he will definitely achieve great results. It doesn’t matter if Lin Dan takes away other inheritances, she can explore on her own based on the existing medical classics. She didn't believe that she couldn't defeat these ancients with her own wisdom!
Xue Boyong stepped out of the carriage with his long legs and said slowly: "Oh, I didn't know Lin Dan was by my side. Will I ever need your help? Then please wait, Doctor Wu." He stretched out his hand and helped Lin Dan out of the carriage.
Lin Dan looked at his own clinic, then at the Xuancao Hall across the street, and wondered: How come it is opened across the street again? Oops, that's not right. Why did I use the word "again"?
