Chapter 247: Grand Consort Naranja
System: "Congratulations to the host for adding 100 merits. Now the host's merits are 400. Keep up the good work, host!"
Lan Xiyue's mouth corners rose slightly, and her eyes flashed with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad, she already has four hundred merits. With another six hundred, she can upgrade the space. Then the space will be able to keep things fresh and store food.
Qian Duoduo sat aside, watching the people gradually disperse outside. He shook his head helplessly and said to Lan Xiyue, "Look, Yueyue, the people don't have much money, and you only charge one thousand taels for a consultation. They've had enough of the excitement and have all left. But, don't tell me, you'd better not open this shop. Once you open, your income will be equivalent to several months of the Baicaotang across the street."
Lan Xiyue just smiled lightly when she heard that. Minor illnesses and pains can be treated at Baicaotang across the street, and it won't take away too much business from others. Minor illnesses can't earn much merit, so by spreading her reputation as a miracle doctor, more people will know of her existence. In this way, more patients with difficult and complicated diseases will come to seek treatment, and she will be able to accumulate more merit.

The eldest son-in-law Naranjia was buying cakes for the eldest princess on Xilin Street when he heard passers-by talking about the newly opened pharmacy on Xilin Street. He was surprised that the miracle doctor, as the people called him, dared to operate on his head at such a young age.
Naranjia stopped a commoner and asked, "Excuse me, where is the shop of the miracle doctor you mentioned?"
The commoner pointed behind him and said, "It's not far ahead, opposite Baicaotang."
Narancia walked in the direction pointed by the people and saw a shop called "Pharmacy for Treating Difficult and Complex Diseases".
He frowned and thought to himself: Is there such a name?
Entering the pharmacy, Naranjia looked around, frowned, and asked loudly, "Excuse me, is your miracle doctor here?"
Lan Xiyue pointed at herself when she heard this, and a playful smile appeared on her lips: "I'm a grown-up sitting here, can't you see?"
Qian Duoduo was drinking tea. Upon hearing this, he spat out the tea in his mouth with a "puff".
She quickly took up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. Seeing that both of them were looking at her, she said, "No, my Lord, because you are young, they may not think of you as a miracle doctor."
Upon hearing this, Narancia looked carefully at Lan Xiyue in front of him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: This young man looks so young, does he really have such good medical skills?
Qian Duoduo always felt that he had seen Narancia somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.
"I'm sorry, you looked so young, so I didn't realize you were the miracle doctor." Narancia clasped his fists, his words tinged with apology and surprise. He hadn't expected that this young miracle doctor, the talk of the town, was actually about the same age as his daughter.
Lan Xiyue shook her head, a faint smile on her lips, "Nothing, since you're here to see a doctor, please sit down."
Naranjia sat down as he was told, but he looked a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Narancia was unable to speak for a moment, his face flushed slightly, as if there were thousands of words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Lan Xiyue frowned upon seeing this and said, "I'm a doctor. There's nothing I can't tell you. I treat everyone equally, and there's no need to hide anything."
Narancia took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, but he still hesitated and said, "This...miracle doctor, I..."
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue shook her head helplessly and said softly, "Forget it. Why are you so hesitant? Stretch out your hand and let me take your pulse."
Narancia hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended his hand. Lan Xiyue gently placed her hand on his wrist, closed her eyes, and carefully felt his pulse. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "You're fine, just a little weak."
Upon hearing this, Narancia frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue was already 70% sure, "You are not good at sex?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the clinic fell into dead silence.
Even Qian Duoduo, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea. He widened his eyes and looked at Lan Xiyue in disbelief.
She thought to herself: Yueyue really dares to say anything. Isn't she a girl? How can she know so much about men's affairs?
Narancia's face turned redder than a boiled shrimp. He lowered his head in embarrassment, his hands clenched into fists, as if his most secret pain had been pierced. It was indeed because of his sexual incompetence that the eldest princess despised him. She kept a lover in the princess's residence, trampling on his dignity. Even his own daughter, Nalan Mei, disdained him as a father, thinking he was cowardly and looked down on him.
Lan Xiyue looked at his expression and knew she was right. "Isn't being able to have sex? It's easily treatable. It's not a serious illness. Why are you so hesitant? Really."
When Narancia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.
He raised his head, his eyes full of expectation: "Divine doctor, can you...can you cure it?"
Lan Xiyue spoke slowly, "You were already weak, and you haven't taken proper care of yourself. Even though you've taken a lot of supplements, they haven't been able to replenish your body, and instead have made your condition worse."
Upon hearing this, Narancia nodded secretly in his heart. What the miracle doctor said was true. He had indeed put a lot of effort into taking care of his body over the years, but the effect was minimal.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go back and take care of yourself. Come back to see me in a month." Lan Xiyue said as she took a pen and paper from the side and began to write the prescription in one go.
Narancia took out one thousand taels of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Lan Xiyue was not polite and calmly accepted the banknote and handed the prescription back to Naranja: "Go to the pharmacy across the street to get the medicine. Remember to take it on time, three times a day."
Naranjia thanked him repeatedly and left the pharmacy. The servant lowered his voice, his face full of doubt: "Prince consort, do you really believe what he said? He only took my pulse and wrote a prescription, and it cost one thousand taels. Is he really not a charlatan?"
Narancia frowned. "He's probably not a charlatan. He knew my condition just by taking my pulse. Didn't you see the sign at the door? The treatment will cost five thousand taels. If it doesn't work, then it's free. No matter what, I'm going to try. It's better than what we have now."
The servant sighed helplessly upon hearing this. He knew the situation of the prince consort in the princess's mansion. The concubines favored by the princess provoked him every day, but the prince consort could only swallow his anger.
Everyone in the capital made fun of the prince consort. Even the princess did not understand his hardships. Instead, she felt that she was being ridiculed because of him and never said a good word for him.
Narancia looked at the prescription in his hand and walked to Baicaotang to get the medicine.
The servant muttered, "The Magic Pharmacy prescribes medicine but doesn't sell it. They even tell people to come to Baicaotang to get it. How strange! Could Baicaotang and the pharmacy across the street be the same company?"
