Chapter 44: Healing Diseases and Saving Lives to Gain Merit
When Ye Anling heard the news that Ye Chutang had beaten up the mistress of the house, she was so angry that she immediately went to Liuliyuan.
It just happened to block Ye Chutang who was about to leave.
"If you want to live, kneel down and admit your mistake!"
Although it was very frustrating to marry Eunuch De, her status rose and no one could bully her anymore!
As long as she whispers something in Eunuch De's ear, it would only take a word for her to kill anyone she wants.
Ye Chutang looked at the arrogant Ye Anling. Looking at her mockingly.
"I can make Eunuch De think that you were the one who drugged him, and I can also make him kill you."
After saying this, she left Ye Anling, who was looking frightened, and left the Shangshu Mansion.
She was about to detoxify Prince Chen from the fire poison, so she had to go to the pharmacy to prepare some medicinal materials, and also get familiar with the capital city in preparation for stockpiling supplies.
Although we are not in troubled times now and there are no natural disasters, we still need to be prepared for danger.
Ye Chutang asked passers-by and went to Xinglintang, the largest pharmacy in the capital.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Muyun who was preparing medicine, and Qi Yanzhou following him.
Qin Muyun also saw Ye Chutang, with a look of surprise on his face, "Miss Ye, what a coincidence, what are you doing in the medicine shop?"
Qi Yanzhou was speechless as he looked at the stupid Qin Muyun.
What else can you do in a pharmacy? Of course it’s to get medicine!
He asked, "Miss Ye, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Chutang shook his head. "It's not that I want the herbs, it's that one of my patients needs them."
Qi Yanzhou knew she was talking about him.
Qin Muyun asked in surprise: "Miss Ye also knows medical skills?"
"I know a thing or two."
"Then can I ask Miss Ye to treat my grandfather?"
Curing illnesses and saving lives is the fastest way to accumulate merit.
Of course, the people who are treated have to be good people.
Ye Chutang said bluntly: "I only save good people. Is your grandfather a good person?"
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper of the medicine shop said, "Don't worry, Miss, Master Qin is a good man!"
The shopkeeper recounted many good things that Qin Taifu had done to benefit the country and the people.
After he finished speaking, he sighed, "It's a pity that good people don't get good rewards. Master Qin was injured by an arrow in his early years and suffered from a cough in his later years. He doesn't have much time left."
Ye Chutang looked at Qin Muyun and said, "Wait a moment. After I buy the medicine, I'll go see your grandfather."
"Thank you Miss Ye."
Qin Muyun didn't hold out much hope, he just wanted his grandfather to see the girl he liked before he died.
Ye Chutang naturally couldn't think of this, but Qi Yanzhou saw it.
But he had no right to say anything.
Although Ye Chutang envied the pharmacy's complete range of medicinal materials, he only bought what he needed.
She planned to wait until late at night when everyone was asleep, disguise herself, and then stock up on medicinal herbs.
The three of them went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he reached the door, Qi Yanzhou was blocked by people from the Dali Temple.
"Shao Qing, the palace of Eunuch De was robbed. We are required by the Dali Temple to solve the case within three days. Lord Qing has handed this matter over to Shao Qing."
After Qi Yanzhou refused the marriage proposal on the grounds of his military merits, he surrendered his military power and is now serving as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
He guessed that this was a trap set for him by the Dali Temple Minister.
"What did Eunuch De lose?"
"Everything was lost. The entire Xishou Palace was looted."
Confusion appeared in Qi Yanzhou's eyes.
The palace is heavily guarded. Who has the ability to steal a palace in it?
In all likelihood, it was Eunuch De who staged this drama himself, hoping to punish him and please the emperor.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace and take a look now."
After Qi Yanzhou left, Qin Muyun sighed, "Ziqian shouldn't have returned to Beijing!"
Ye Chutang bluntly pierced his delusion, "If you disobey the order, your entire family will be executed."
“…”
"Let's go and see your grandfather."
***
Tutor Qin's condition was the same as Ye Chutang had imagined. He had damaged his lungs in his early years and had not rested well, which led to a recurrence of a serious illness in his later years that could not be cured.
She couldn't repair the old injury to his lungs, but she could help Master Qin live a few more years.
Qin Muyun saw Ye Chutang put away her pulse-taking hand and asked, "Miss Ye, how are you?"
"I dare not say more, but if we let Master Qin hold on for another three years, there will be no problem."
"Wha…what?"
Qin Muyun had just asked casually, but his eyes widened in shock at Ye Chutang's answer.
Could it be that he wanted his grandfather to get better so much that he was hallucinating?
Master Qin looked kind and said, "Miss Ye, I know my situation. You don't need to comfort me."
Even the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless, so what could the little girl in front of him do?
Most likely this guy found it to comfort him.
Ye Chutang said seriously, "I never lie to patients."
After saying that, she gave acupuncture to Master Qin.
As the silver needles were inserted into his body, Master Qin clearly felt that breathing was not so difficult anymore.
The feeling of being unable to suppress the urge to cough gradually disappeared.
He looked at Ye Chutang in shock.
"My words just now are very offensive. Please forgive me, Miss Ye."
Ye Chutang forced out a faint smile, "Given my age and appearance, it's normal for Master Qin to not trust me."
Having said that, the silver needles were also inserted.
She slapped Master Qin on his front and back shoulders.
The silver needle vibrated rapidly, and the pierced acupoint felt numb and itchy, yet indescribably comfortable.
Ye Chutang looked at the dumbfounded Qin Muyun.
"Mr. Qin, please bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Qin Muyun immediately came back to his senses, "Miss Ye, wait a moment."
After Ye Chutang wrote the prescription, he asked Qin Muyun, "The Qin family has a doctor, right?"
"Yes, he retired from the Imperial Hospital, and his medical skills are very good."
"Call him here."
Soon, the court doctor arrived.
Ye Chutang pointed at the silver needles on Master Qin's body and asked, "Do you know? Can you see clearly?"
The court doctor replied, "I only know a little bit about the art of golden needles."
The powerful art of acupuncture is inherited from ancestors, and ordinary doctors can only understand the basics through medical books.
Ye Chutang nodded and wrote down the acupuncture method.
She handed it to the court doctor, "From now on, you will help Master Qin with acupuncture. I have also written down the time intervals."
The court doctor took the paper with wet ink on it and looked at Ye Chutang in shock.
"Girl, why?"
Although doctors save lives and heal the wounded, no one will teach their skills to outsiders.
Ye Chutang said nonchalantly, "Teaching and enlightening is the foundation of inheritance."
When Master Qin heard this, he looked at her with more admiration.
She then added, "Of course, it's also because I'm lazy and don't want to go to the Taifu Mansion all the time."
