Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Seventh Brother Will Take Her Back to Western Chu

This scene naturally caught the eyes of Zhong Yu.

He deliberately walked over to Qi Yue’s side and said loudly, “Thank you, Miss Qi, for the diagnosis.”

Qi Yue, busy with her consultations, couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention.

Later, seeing that the two left the crowded street of commoners, she quickly called Qu Wei and asked him to check the background of the two individuals.

At that moment, Lingwei and Zhong Yu had already boarded a luxurious carriage.

No sooner had they settled in than Lingwei eagerly began to talk about what had just happened.

“Brother Seven, did you see that? That female doctor is incredible. She didn’t even take my pulse or ask questions; she just knew I had fallen into water during the winter by looking at me. That’s absolutely unheard of!”

Zhong Yu grunted in response.

“Indeed impressive. I had heard of a marvelous type of medical technique called Qi Observation, and it seems this woman has mastered this secret technique.”

“Since she could discern my illness, her medicine must be extraordinarily potent. But she didn’t even give it to me, which is so infuriating!” Lingwei pouted and grabbed Zhong Yu’s arm, shaking it. “Brother Seven, I don’t care, I want that female doctor’s medicine.”

“If you listen to that woman so much, why don’t you ask her yourself?” Zhong Yu pulled his sleeve from her grasp, his face gradually taking on a mocking smile. “This is indeed rare! Brother Seven knows you are usually disobedient.”

Upon hearing this, Lingwei’s face suddenly turned red.

“I… I am not… I was just startled by her medical skills…”

“Startled? You were plainly overawed by that woman.”

“Not at all…”

“If you won’t admit it, that’s fine, but Brother Seven will bring her back to Western Chu, and you should be more obedient then.”

Lingwei was immediately stunned.

“Brother Seven, are you really going to bring that female doctor back?”

“Yes,” declared Zhong Yu solemnly. “Such impressive medical skills should belong only to Western Chu. In the next few days, you must cooperate with Brother Seven and win over Miss Qi.”

“Alright, don’t worry, Brother Seven!”

Before long, two guards came back one after another and reported all the events that had occurred in Dongjiang over the past few months in great detail.

After listening, Zhong Yu’s lips curved up in a determined expression.

Meanwhile, Qu Wei also found out the identity of Zhong Yu.

“Sister, do you know? That man is Zhong Yu, the King Yan of Western Chu, and the woman with him is Lingwei, the legitimate princess of the Western Chu Emperor, who just arrived in Dongjiang today. Their purpose here is still unknown.”

Qi Yue frowned.

“As expected, I always felt their appearance was odd. You must not take this lightly. Check thoroughly to see if they came for the pharmacy.”

Qu Wei smirked.

“Don’t worry, even if you didn’t say so, I would still check.”

The free clinic continued to the next day. Before dawn, commoners from all directions had already swarmed over, forming a long line in front of the pharmacy.

Some people even started fighting over their spots in line.

By the time Qi Yue arrived early in the morning, a line of three to four hundred people had completely blocked the street.

Some patients had come from far away, and as soon as they saw Qi Yue, they surged forward, calling out nonstop.

“Divine Doctor Qi, take pity on us, please take a look!”

“Divine Doctor Qi, my father has been sick for more than a decade, please take a look!”

“…”

Qu Wei brought her over and got scared seeing the crowd.

“Yueyue, there are so many people. You probably won’t be able to see them all even by nightfall, don’t exhaust yourself.”

Qi Yue also felt helpless in this situation.

“I’ll see as many as I can.”

However, Qu Wei furrowed his brow, his fan continuously fluttering in his hand.

Seeing his demeanor, Qi Yue knew he was thinking hard.

“What, do you have a good idea?”

Upon hearing this, Qu Wei snapped his fan shut and said solemnly, “Yueyue, when you were training the pharmaceutical workers, weren’t there several doctors who consulted you daily? Those people seemed competent. Why not let them join the free clinic? They could handle simple ailments by directly providing medicine to patients, and for complex cases, you could step in. Wouldn’t that save more people in less time?”

These words made Qi Yue’s eyes light up, and she nodded involuntarily.

“It can work, let’s do it that way. Have Shen Zikuang notify everyone to come to the back hall of the pharmacy.”

“Sure, it can work, but can you first compliment your big brother here?”

Qu Wei stood still, his fan fluttering rapidly in his hand, his face also showing a huffy expression, resembling somewhat a three-year-old child.

Qi Yue was amused by him too.

“This time you do have a sense of the bigger picture, and you have brains. Is that good enough for you?”

“That’s more like it.”

Only then did Qu Wei go off happily to see to the matters.

Qi Yue shook her head with a smile and walked to the consultation desk. Just as she sat down, two people appeared in front of her.

Qin Zhongyu and Qin Lingwei.

“Is there something you need?”

For some reason, she didn’t have a favorable impression of these two people, so she couldn’t bring herself to like them at all.

Qin Lingwei didn’t mind her coldness, her little face still beaming happily.

“Divine Doctor, thank you for treating me yesterday. My brother and I would like to invite you to a meal. How about Linjiang Pavilion this afternoon?”

“No need. Please clear the way; I need to start seeing patients.”

“Oh, I understand, Divine Doctor. You don’t have time this noon, then how about in the evening? You must come, Divine Doctor.”

“No need. Whether it’s noon or evening, today or tomorrow, I won’t have time any day. Please step aside! If you continue to disrupt the order of consultations, I won’t hesitate to send you both to the Government Office.”

Currently, the four nations are in chaos, with each royal household spying on each other, each harboring intentions of overthrowing the others.

Especially Beiyuan, stricken with severe internal strife and weakened national power, had long become the target for Western Chu, Donggao, and Nanyue to jointly carve up.

If taken to the Government Office, the identities of these two would be revealed to the entire world.

The Beiyuan Government Office, wary of bringing trouble upon itself, might not do much to them, but in Dongjiang, there could still be spies from other countries.

It must be noted that this place is only a five-day journey from Fancheng in Dongjiang; if it were discovered that they are the King Yan and the legitimate Princess of Western Chu, these two individuals along with the two attendants they brought might have a hard time getting away.

Indeed, no sooner had Qi Yue spoken than a smile appeared on Qin Zhongyu’s face.

“Miss Qi, we were indeed presumptuous. My sister and I had no other intention; we just wanted to ask for some Cold-Dispelling Medicine. Rest assured, we can pay.”

As he spoke, he casually lifted his sleeves, placing two massive gold ingots on the consultation desk.

“Miss Qi, we have disturbed the order of your clinic and have offended greatly; we hope you will not disdain these gold ingots.”

Disdain?

Why would I disdain receiving gold? I’d wish you just bring some more.

Qi Yue inwardly scoffed, her expression remaining unfazed.

“This free clinic mainly treats common diseases, and your sister’s condition is not suitable for ready-made medicines.”

Qin Zhongyu quickly said, “Then please, Miss Qi, prescribe a formula that we can take back for treatment.”

Qi Yue thought that was the only thing she could do now.

After all, this was a free clinic, and she had to see any patient that came, especially when they were paying.

“Extend your hand.”

Qin Lingwei hurriedly did as told, extending her hand. Qi Yue pinched her slender arm with two fingers, examined briefly, and immediately drew up the prescriptions.

With a flourish of her pen, she completed two prescriptions in one go.

“One prescription for oral intake, one for a medicinal bath. After three days, the cold in your body should be dispelled.”@@novelbin@@

“Thank you so much, Divine Doctor.”

Qin Lingwei thanked her profusely, taking the prescriptions from her.

At this moment, although she didn’t fully believe that Qi Yue could cure her cold condition, she harbored a great deal of hope internally.

After all, Qi Yue had recognized at a glance that she had once fallen into water during winter.

Qin Zhongyu also expressed his thanks and led his sister away.

The commoners in line, initially discontent with these two cutting in line for consultation, became silent upon seeing the gold left behind by the two.

By this time, the doctors from the pharmacy had all arrived; Shen Zikuang immediately jumped onto a high platform and introduced the rules for the upcoming consultations to the people.
