Today marks the fifth day since Kang Taihe promised to develop the antidote. As soon as he woke up this morning, he felt his right eyelid twitching.
He hasn't been sleeping well these past few nights, constantly dreaming that he can't get the cure and is killed. He often wakes up from nightmares with his clothes completely soaked, and he has no desire to go to brothels anymore.
However, after racking his brains for several days, Kang Taihe finally came up with a solution.
He secretly hired someone to go to the black market and spent a thousand taels of silver to buy an antidote pill that was supposedly developed by the Great Chu Heavenly Medical Pavilion.
He had heard of the Heavenly Physician Pavilion's reputation, and perhaps their antidote pills could cure that person's poisoning.
Since neither option works, I might as well take a gamble and see if it works.
Even if it's truly useless, the mere presence of this antidote pill will prove his ability.
Perhaps this will give him more time to develop a new antidote, allowing him to stall for time and find an opportunity to escape.
Thinking of this, Kang Tai rubbed his eyelids and went to the clinic to see patients.
When Kang Tai arrived at the clinic, he saw the long queue at the entrance, which cheered him up considerably.
As long as he can make a lot of money, what is there to be afraid of?
Just after Kang Qinhe arrived at the clinic and saw a few patients, Manager Liu rushed in, shouting, "Dr. Kang, something terrible has happened! All the patients at the clinic have run away!"
Kang Taihe didn't immediately understand what it meant that all the patients had run away.
"Manager Liu, what's going on?"
“Dr. Kang, some people say that our medicine is sold at Jishetang, and the most expensive dose is only one hundred coins. So all the patients are going to Jishetang.”
"What did you say?!" Kang Taihe immediately stood up upon hearing this.
A pair costs one hundred coins; even a fool would know which one to choose. No wonder Manager Liu said everyone has run away.
"This Wei Bainian actually dared to use our prescription! Let's go, let's report him to the Imperial Hospital!"
The Imperial Medical Academy of Xiaoyue Kingdom is responsible for providing medical services to nobles in the palace and important officials of the court, and also manages medical-related affairs in Xiaoyue Kingdom.
Such unauthorized dispensing of medicines using other people's prescriptions should naturally fall under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Medical Academy.
Sometimes, if you wear a mask for too long, you'll forget who you are.
Kang Taihe had long been known as a miracle doctor, and in his heart he had long regarded himself as the true disciple of the medical sage, completely forgetting that this prescription had nothing to do with him at all.
Jishetang was packed with people. The medicine that used to cost two taels of silver per dose had become sixty to one hundred coins per dose. The people were overjoyed and spread the news far and wide.
Because it was so cheap, some people suspected that the medicine was fake and secretly bought Jishetang's medicine to see other doctors.
It turned out that the medicine was not only genuine, but also of even better quality than that from Miaoshoutang.
In an instant, Jishetang was almost bursting at the seams.
With so many people, the doctors in the clinic were overwhelmed. Yan Luo and Hu Qing also came to help, and some patients with mild symptoms and locals familiar with Jishetang also voluntarily came out to help maintain order.
At this moment, Kang Taihe, accompanied by Imperial Physician Wang, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, and several yamen runners, arrived at Jishetang.
"Doctor Wang, look, Jishetang stole our prescription, that's why there are so many people in the clinic. Wei Bainian is shameless."
As a doctor, Physician Wang had heard of this Physician Kang, but the Imperial Hospital was too busy to pay attention to it.
Today, Kang Taihe came to the Imperial Hospital to complain, and Director Bao sent him over directly.
Having lived in Longxiao City for many years, Physician Wang knew Wei Bainian well. He was proud and arrogant. The Imperial Medical Academy had once tried to recruit him, but Wei Bainian refused, saying he only wanted to treat the people.
He would believe it if someone else stole the prescription, but he was somewhat skeptical that Wei Bainian had stolen it.
However, people's hearts are always changing, and no one can say for sure.
