Chapter 323 Vice President
The day after Liu Yiyi returned, the emperor summoned all the imperial physicians who had traveled south to the palace to reward them.
This time, Liu Yiyi stopped the spread of the plague, nipping it in the bud before it became a widespread disaster.
At the same time, it called on renowned doctors in the community to treat disaster victims.
The Red Flower Society was the first to be targeted, and the emperor appointed a hundred physicians as Red Flower Physicians and rewarded them with a thousand taels of silver.
Everyone in the Imperial Medical Academy was promoted one rank. Liu Yiyi, a doctor with a kind heart and superb medical skills, and who had the people in her heart, was promoted to the position of Vice President of the Imperial Medical Academy, despite not meeting the usual requirements.
After Liu Yiyi was granted her title, she waited at the palace gate for Zhao Wuji, who was leaving court.
As soon as Zhao Wuji stepped out of the palace gate, he heard Liu Yiyi calling him softly from the side.
"Lord Zhao! Lord Zhao!"
Zhao Wuji heard the sound and looked over, seeing Liu Yiyi walking over.
"Imperial Physician Liu, the princess sent word yesterday that you had returned safely and was planning to visit you after your shift. How could you have disappeared these past few days?"
Liu Yiyi looked like she had a long story to tell. "I'll tell you the details of my disappearance later. I heard that Lord Zhao is from Cangzhou. Would it be easier to investigate things in Cangzhou?"
Zhao Wuji nodded. "Of course, but is it related to the disappearance of Physician Liu?"
Liu Yiyi's expression was serious. "That's right. I want Lord Zhao to help me investigate a family."
Zhao Wuji raised an eyebrow. "Is it the girl and her family who disappeared with you?"
Liu Yiyi nodded, "Everything is too coincidental. If the person behind this is really targeting the princess, then this Miss Yuan's existence is too strange."
Zhao Wuji agreed, "Alright, I'll send the message back to Cangzhou right away."
Seeing Liu Yiyi's solemn expression, Zhao Wuji spoke again: "I haven't had a chance to congratulate Physician Liu yet, but now I should address you as Chief Physician Liu."
Liu Yiyi waved her hand, "Deputy, Deputy. But Lord Zhao is now the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. To be ranked among the Nine Ministers at such a young age is truly remarkable. My apologies for my disrespect."
The two exchanged a glance, then clasped their hands in a fist and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi sneezed in the study.
He touched his nose and summoned a sentry, "Deliver this letter to Mo Ziyuan of the Mo family."
The sentry disappeared with the letter.
As soon as he stepped outside, Yuecheng was about to leave.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Going outside the city?"
Yuecheng blinked. "She's a frail woman who came to the capital with me. I have to go see her."
Qin Jinzhi closed the study door. "I'll go with you."
Yuecheng nodded after hearing this, "Perfect, it saves us from gossip about a lone man and woman."
The two arrived at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, just as Liu Yiyi was returning home.
Seeing the two of them, Liu Yiyi asked, "Going outside the city?"
The two nodded, and Liu Yiyi turned and walked towards the carriage.
“Then I’ll go too, it’ll be a good opportunity to have Miss Yuan’s eyes checked.”
The three of them traveled by carriage to the house outside the city where Yuan Yi was settled.
Yuan Yi was sitting in the courtyard, and her maid was reading a storybook to her.
When she heard something beautiful, she smiled, revealing a small dimple at the corner of her mouth.
I heard footsteps not far away.
Yuan Yi tilted his head slightly, "Brother Yue?"
Yuecheng nodded. "I told you before that I would have Miss Liu treat your eyes, but I didn't expect that to happen. Let her take a good look at your eyes today."
Yuan smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Yue, thank you, Miss Liu, thank you, Miss Yuezhi."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Miss Yuan has a good ear."
Yuan Yi said somewhat shyly, "Since I can't see, my ears are naturally more sensitive. Please, all three of you, have a seat."
Liu Yiyi walked to Yuan Yi's side and said, "Miss Yuan, please extend your right hand."
She carefully took Yuan Yi's pulse, then stood up and said, "Miss Yuan, I need to look at your eyes."
Yuan Yi slowly turned her face toward the direction of the sound.
Liu Yiyi examined Yuan Yi's eyeballs more closely.
He then asked, "Miss Yuanyi, I see that your eyeballs are white and perfectly intact. Your eyes should not be congenitally blind."
Yuan nodded. "When I was little, my father married a concubine. Because she resented my mother, she poisoned my food. Although I survived, my eyes gradually became blind from that time on."
Liu Yiyi nodded. "There are indeed traces of residual toxins in your pulse. If it was caused by poisoning, I am 70% confident that I can help you see again."
Yuan Yi's face lit up with joy. "Really?"
Liu Yiyi opened her medical kit. "From today onwards, I will come every day to give you acupuncture and herbal medicine. You will see results in a month."
Yuan Yi's face showed a hint of longing. "That's wonderful. Yuan Yi thanks Miss Liu in advance."
She slowly opened the needle case, pulled out the gold needles, and suddenly stabbed them into Yuan Yi's eyeball.
Yuan Yi's maid immediately blocked her way, "What are you trying to do!"
Liu Yiyi raised an eyebrow. "Give her acupuncture."
Yuan Yi quickly said, "My girl is inexperienced and has never seen the world, please don't be offended, Miss Liu."
The maid stood awkwardly to the side, while Liu Yiyi slowly began to administer acupuncture to Yuan Yi.
“Miss Yuan has good taste; she’s not surprised that the doctor who examined your eyes was a woman.”
Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Liu may not know that the leader of our Cangzhou Canal Gang is a woman. I have not only met female doctors, female tutors, female bodyguards, but I have also heard of female shopkeepers. I do not believe that women are inferior to others."
Liu Yiyi nodded, "Miss Yuan has a good mind."
Yuan Yi's head was covered in gold needles.
Liu Yiyi turned around and glanced at Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi said, "Miss Yuan, don't worry. I have already sent a message to the Yuan family. Once your eyes are healed, we will send you back safely. The letter also includes this address. If you want to send a message home, you can ask a servant to deliver it for you."
Yuan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Miss Yuezhi."
Liu Yiyi said, "Senior Brother Yue, I'll go see if there's anything in the kitchen that can be used to brew medicine. You stay with Miss Yuan for now, and remember, don't touch these needles."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and pulled Qin Jinzhi away, saying, "You stay with me."
The two went to the kitchen, and Liu Yiyi asked in a low voice, "Are all the people in this house yours?"
Qin Jinzhi nodded.
Liu Yiyi said, "Her eyes were indeed caused by poison, but the symptoms she described don't match the poison at all. The poison she was given would cause her to go blind instantly, but she could regain her sight by taking the antidote. If she gradually goes blind as she said, even I can't save her."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "You mean she lied?"
Liu Yiyi frowned. "I don't know if she lied or not, but this Miss Yuan definitely has a problem."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at her, "What do you mean?"
Liu Yiyi frowned and said, "She's too calm. She's remained calm about everything that's happening around her. It's like she's never experienced something as big as being kidnapped."
Qin Jinzhi said with a look of surprise, "Wow, Dean Liu, your mind is so sharp these days. I admire you."
Liu Yiyi raised one eyebrow. "Who do you think I am? You think I can fool someone like that? I'll expose her true colors!"
