Luo Lan's clinic opened three days later. She erected a vertical plaque in a conspicuous position at the gate and named it: Huichuntang. Red silk was hung on the plaque, and two strings of firecrackers were hung at the door.
Luo Lan, wearing a dark green long skirt, stood among a group of servants. Facing the people who gathered to watch the excitement, she clasped her fists with a solemn expression and said:
"Dear fellow villagers, from today on, Prince Yu's Mansion is also known as Huichuntang. I am Shui Luolan, the Princess of Prince Yu and the attending physician of this clinic. If you, your relatives and friends, have any difficult or complicated illnesses, please come to me. Although I cannot guarantee an instant cure, I can try to treat illnesses that others cannot."
Seeing Luo Lan, who looked so young, some people in the crowd began to whisper.
"Prince Yu's Mansion has been converted into a clinic? This is truly unprecedented."
"And the doctor is Princess Yu, this is really strange."
"Alas! Prince Yu has been bedridden for many years. Few people have come to visit him in recent years. I guess he has been neglected and has a hard time."
"Alas, thinking back to the days, Prince Yu was so brave! Now he has to rely on his new princess to make money. It's really not easy."
"That woman is from the countryside. How could she possibly know medicine? Could she be using the royal family's reputation to commit fraud?"
“…”
Luo Lan heard all the discussions and criticisms from the crowd, but she didn't care at all and said to Ayu and Ahou:
"It's time to set off firecrackers!"
The two people who received the order quickly blew up the fire in their hands and then lit the firecrackers.
As the crackling sound of firecrackers came, Luo Lan's eyes flashed with anticipation for the future!
Leng Yu was sitting on the bed listening to the sound of firecrackers. He felt indescribable in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad?
Lan'er's blatant opening of a clinic in the palace is bound to cause discomfort to some people, and perhaps someone will go directly to the emperor to complain.
Although the emperor will not make things difficult for Lan'er, there is no guarantee that those with malicious intentions will not interfere!
Thinking of this, a look of worry and anger appeared between his brows.
The sound of the door opening came, and Luo Lan quickly walked through the screen and came to him.
Her face was rosy and her heart was filled with joy.
In her previous life, she had hoped to open a hospital that could treat patients with difficult and complicated diseases. However, because the school refused to let her go, she could only stay in the laboratory temporarily and continue to develop various medicines for difficult and complicated diseases.
In this life, although she was forced by life, she was finally able to realize her wish. She owned a clinic that was completely her own.
So, she had a happy look on her face, and when she saw Leng Yu, she started nagging directly.
"Did you hear the firecrackers? That's the beginning of hope, just like your legs."
Leng Yu smiled with his lips pursed. He didn't want to discourage her. How many common people would dare to come to the clinic opened in the palace?
He whispered:
"Lan'er, everything is difficult at the beginning. Don't have too high expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed."
He just wanted to remind her indirectly.
Unexpectedly, she sat directly beside him, pressed the tip of his nose hard, and pouted in displeasure.
"Please don't discourage me, okay? You should support me."
Leng Yu reached out and held her hand, saying helplessly:
"Lan'er, I'm afraid you will be wronged, and I can't help you."
Luo Lan narrowed her eyes at him and smiled gently, "You don't know any medical skills? How can you help me? Don't worry! I can do it. Just like you said, everything is difficult at the beginning, but once this beginning is done, everything else will be easy."
After that, she asked, "In two days, the bandages on your legs will be removed. Then you'll have to learn to walk again like a baby. Every step will be difficult. Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid."
He said directly and firmly, "I'm not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of living? If I can really stand up again, I will definitely protect you and never let you show up in public to earn money to support the family again."
Having said that, he let out a sigh of reluctance.
He was really afraid that someone would cause trouble for Lan'er, and he didn't want to see others bullying her.
…
Huichuntang had been open for three days, but not a single patient came. The news of her opening a clinic reached the emperor's ears directly. The person who came to complain was none other than Crown Prince Leng Yun, and he spoke of this in the court.
The emperor frowned and asked with disdain:
"Do you know what the prince said?"
People in the crowd said, "Your Majesty, I have heard about this."
Another adult also echoed:
"Your Majesty, I have also heard this from my servants. I did not believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."
As soon as the two ministers finished speaking, several people came out and said that they had heard about this matter. Some people even went to see it in person and found that there was indeed a sign of Huichun Hall hanging at the main entrance of Prince Yu's Mansion.
The more he listened, the uglier the emperor's expression became. Seeing this, the crown prince struck while the iron was hot and clasped his fists, saying, "Father, I believe that Princess Yu's actions will cause the people to misunderstand that our royal family has treated Leng Yu unfairly. Although he made the mistake first, Father, you did not punish him. This shows that you are a kind person, but this does not allow Princess Yu to do whatever she wants!"
After hearing what the prince said, another minister stood up and echoed:
"Your Highness's words make sense. The royal palace has become a clinic. This is truly an anecdote. If anyone hears about it, it will be a laughing stock. I beg the Emperor to order the closure of her clinic."
"I also think what the Crown Prince said makes sense. Princess Yu is so inconsiderate. As a member of the royal family, how could she do such a disgraceful thing?"
“…”
Listening to these people's words, the emperor's face became even uglier. He frowned and said to the eunuch beside him:
"Eunuch Liu, draft an order for Princess Xuanyu to enter the palace for questioning."
He wanted to see what this woman who dared to openly challenge the royal majesty looked like.
The emperor still felt sorry for Leng Yu. After all, he was his most proud son. This was why he agreed to let Concubine Chang find a princess to be buried with him.
At this time, Luo Lan was sitting in the main hall of the palace, tapping the table with one hand, waiting for someone to come and see the doctor.
Acai and Ahong stood aside and looked at her bored, while Ahou and Ayu were arranged by her to wait for patients at the door, as she was afraid that some patients would come and not be able to find the way.
However, Ayu and Ahou did not wait for the patient, but waited for the emperor's edict.
Seeing someone from the palace coming to announce the decree, the Empress hurriedly ran to inform Luo Lan. Before the person arrived, her voice came first, "Princess, they are coming, they are coming..."
When he came to the front of the hall, Luo Lan immediately became energetic and asked happily:
"Is there a patient here? Bring him in quickly..."
Ah Hou shook her head directly, "No... not a patient, it's..."
He had just uttered the word when a voice called out from outside.
"The imperial edict has arrived..."
