Chapter 313 Red Flower Society
Qin Jinzhi arrived with great fanfare and left with equal grace.
When Liu Que and Liu Qinghe learned the news, Qin Jinzhi's carriage had already left the city.
Liu Qinghe quickly asked the steward for horses and chased after them.
She also carried a kite she had made overnight on her back.
Qin Jinzhi's caravan was not moving fast, and Liu Qinghe caught up with it on horseback in an hour.
"Whoa!"
Liu Qinghe turned his horse around in front of the convoy.
"Who dares to stop the princess's carriage!"
Xue Huaiyi, who had been absent until now, finally reunited with the others when Qin Jinzhi set off to leave today.
Liu Qinghe dismounted, "Liu Qinghe, daughter of the military governor of Lingnan, requests an audience with the princess!"
Xue Huaiyi frowned and stopped the person, leading them to Qin Jinzhi's car.
Qin Jinzhi lifted the carriage curtain. "Let her come over."
Xue Huaiyi obeyed the order and allowed them to pass.
Liu Qinghe ran over holding a kite.
Qin Jinzhi looked at her with a somewhat cold expression. "What is it?"
Liu Qinghe handed the kite to Xue Huaiyi, who was standing guard beside the car.
"I made this overnight. I hope the princess will like it. Qinghe wishes the princess a safe journey home and good health."
Qin Jinzhi's eyes were calm and indifferent as she said lightly, "Thank you for your kindness. Keep it and go back soon. It's not safe for a woman like you in the mountains."
As he spoke, he lowered the carriage curtain.
Xue Huaiyi handed the kite to Yun Que, who had just opened the car door.
After Yun Que closed the car door again, Xue Huaiyi shouted, "Let's go!"
Liu Qinghe watched the convoy drive further and further away until it disappeared from sight, then shouted loudly from the spot, "Sister! Take care!"
He then rode away.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the kite made by Liu Qinghe. The kite was very finely made, and there was a picture of swallows returning to their nests painted on the back.
She chuckled softly, wondering just how afraid this girl was that she wouldn't recognize her.
Swallows return to their nests; there will be a day when we meet again.
After Qin Jinzhi left Lingnan, news spread quickly that the descendants of the Xu family had hidden in Qingyun Temple and were serving as prime ministers to the Princess Zhenguo of the current dynasty.
It's getting worse.
While Qin Jinzhi was still on her way back to Beijing, the imperial edict had already spread throughout the country.
She was born a woman, but possessed the qualities of an emperor. She was exceptionally intelligent but died young, and did not have a peaceful end.
Even Liu Yiyi in Suzhou knew about it.
Liu Yiyi angrily returned to Qianniao Division and found Shi Huiyun, who was working there.
"Which bastard dares to spread rumors about her, the Princess Who Protects the Nation! Have the Thousand Birds Bureau investigate and throw him in jail!"
That damned bastard, she will definitely cure Qin Jinzhi!
She, Liu Yiyi, is determined to become the number one divine doctor in the world!
Even without the Orchid Grass, she will definitely be able to develop an antidote for the Azure Poison within three years!
No one is allowed to spread rumors!
A scourge can live for a thousand years. What's wrong with someone like Qin Jinzhi living for a hundred years?
Shi Yunhui was also extremely angry. This news was like a pebble thrown into water, instantly creating ripples.
Even Chidori Tsukasa hadn't gotten wind of it.
After Qin Jinzhi left Suzhou, Liu Yiyi began to use Suzhou as her starting point.
Medical clinics were set up to prevent and control epidemics.
Providing free medical consultations for disaster victims in Jiangnan.
There were too many disaster victims, and the twenty imperial physicians sent by the court were simply not enough to handle them all.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Yiyi's task was thankless and arduous.
A large number of female physicians from Jiangnan flocked to the front of the Thousand Birds Bureau.
"The Red Flower Society has been summoned by Physician Liu and has come to provide support."
In an era where even women's medical studies are not recognized.
There were hundreds of such female healers.
Liu Yiyi received the female doctors from the Red Flower Society.
These 100 people were divided into smaller groups and assigned to sixteen prefectures to work with twenty imperial physicians to provide free medical treatment to disaster victims.
The twenty imperial physicians were very resistant and all went to find Liu Yiyi.
"Imperial Physician Liu, you're being ridiculous! How can a woman be allowed to interfere in such a crucial matter as treating disaster victims?"
Liu Yiyi looked at everyone, pointed to her face, and asked, "Am I a man?"
The imperial physicians were taken aback. After so much time, although they still opposed women practicing medicine, they had witnessed Liu Yiyi's medical skills, which led them to subconsciously exclude her from the ranks of female physicians.
Liu Yiyi looked at everyone and chuckled, "Everyone, I am not only a woman, but I also single-handedly arranged this trip to Jiangnan. Have you all forgotten that His Majesty specially granted me full authority to handle all matters related to the Imperial Hospital during this trip to Jiangnan?"
One of the imperial physicians frowned and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, not all women possess medical skills as high as yours! How can you compare them? What if something goes wrong and His Majesty blames us?"
Liu Yiyi looked at the imperial physicians and said, “Gentlemen, most of you were recommended by your families. You have deep-rooted medical traditions, but you have long lived in the palace. You are probably unaware of the Red Flower Society’s reputation among the common people. These female physicians save lives and heal the wounded in the countryside. They are truly dedicated to healing the sick and needing help. The people who founded this organization are compassionate healers. Instead of appreciating this noble quality, you only focus on their status as women. Don’t you all feel ashamed?”
She glanced at everyone with a calm expression, and finally said firmly, "This trip to Jiangnan was arranged by me, Liu Yiyi. If His Majesty blames me, I will bear the responsibility. I will definitely use these female physicians. If you are not satisfied, you may set off for the capital immediately. I will not stop you!"
Everyone shook their heads at Liu Yiyi's unwavering expression.
Several people left Suzhou that same day.
Zhao Wuji learned that the imperial physician had left and came looking for Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi assigned tasks to everyone with a calm expression.
After finishing his work, Zhao Wuji stepped forward and asked, "Someone has returned to the capital. Should we bring them back?"
Liu Yiyi waved her hand, "Those who want to leave need not be stopped."
Zhao Wuji nodded, "However, the fact that these female healers came to help is a great help. I have heard that the Red Flower Society's healers are all over the country, saving lives and healing the wounded. I wonder what kind of people made such an organization. I have great respect for them."
Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Liu Yiyi raised an eyebrow and said to him solemnly, "You really have excellent taste! I thank you on her behalf!"
Zhao Wuji was taken aback by her suddenly serious tone.
Liu Yiyi smiled and started sorting the medicinal herbs again.
Zhao Wuji blinked, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and whispered, "Could this red flower have been created by you, Miss Liu?"
Liu Yiyi turned to look at Zhao Wuji and said with admiration, "Lord Zhao, you not only have good judgment, but you are also very smart and have a bright future!"
Zhao Wuji looked at Liu Yiyi. He had never quite understood why the princess could keep such a free-spirited person like Liu Yiyi by her side.
Now I understand.
Those who follow the princess.
They all have a childlike heart.
Liu Yiyi wants to become the number one divine doctor in the world and the first female imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Academy.
Presumably, they hope that one day these women can practice medicine with dignity.
No longer subject to controversy.
The hundred female healers of the Red Flower Society are also the foundation for women in this world who want to become doctors.
The predicament they face now, standing here, is unimaginable.
But these people sprouted from the soil like tender buds in spring.
Undeterred by wind and rain, they grow strong and healthy!
