Suddenly, news spread through the streets and alleys of Xi Xia's capital city. It was said that a divine doctor had arrived in the royal city. Not only could he heal people with miraculous skill, but most importantly, he could help people regain their youth!
This news caused quite a stir almost instantly. Ordinary people probably just wanted to see the excitement; even if the miracle doctor could help people regain their youth, it likely wouldn't concern them much anyway.
The price of regaining youth is not something ordinary people can afford.
Next, these poor people have lived a hard life for their entire lives. They hope to die early and be reborn into wealthy families in the next life. Extending one's lifespan is just adding more suffering.
It means nothing to them.
But this message is different for the wealthy and high-ranking officials of the capital. With money and power, what they crave most is health and longevity.
Those old rulers, who wouldn't want to live a few more years and restore their youth
Whether or not this divine doctor truly possesses the book, these people would come to investigate anyway.
A Sheng guarded the entrance of the clinic, then ran back in a moment later. He watched Fang Jinxiu, disguised as a man, sitting behind the medicine table with a calm demeanor, grinding and preparing herbs.
"You've been back and forth three or four times now. What are you panicking about"
Can Ah Sheng stay calm
Fang Jinxiu did disguise herself, concealing her true appearance, but she allowed him to appear at the clinic in his original form.
"Are you sure they won't recognize me"
And weren't the things you spread a bit exaggerated Do you really think anyone would believe them and come
Fan Jinxiu smiled and looked up, "If they don't believe us and don't come, wouldn't that be just as you wish You're so afraid of meeting Xixia officials"
Asher fidgeted nervously, scratching his head.
"It's okay, anyway, I died officially. It's not strange to suddenly appear again, right"
"What if Father found out about this and summoned me to the palace"
Fang Jinshi picked up the staff on her side and tapped Ah Sheng's head with a bit of force.
He yelped in pain, clutching his head, which was throbbing slightly. He stared at her, utterly bewildered.
"Sister Jinxiu, why are you hitting me"
Fang Jinxiu's face was cold as she corrected him, "What is your name"
Although Ah Sheng was sometimes timid, he wasn't stupid. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly understood.
"Master."
"That's right, I am now a male physician, and you are my disciple and assistant. Remember this well."
Wasn't getting you into the palace our ultimate goal
"Aren't you a little late to be afraid now"
They've already come this far, if Asheng wanted to back out, she wouldn't give him this opportunity.
Fortunately, Asheng also knew the gravity of the situation and didn't say anything that would disappoint Fang Jinshu even more.
I'm not trying to back out, I just feel like this is a bit too risky.
"I have no connections in the palace. If we're discovered, it will be a dead end for both of us."
"As long as we aren't discovered, it'll be fine," Fang Jinxiu smiled.
"Calm down, when people come and see you like this, I'm afraid we'll expose ourselves before even reaching the palace."
"Besides, I'm not exaggerating what I sent out."
A Sheng tilted his head and was stunned for a moment, not exaggerating
"Doctor Fang, a steward from a prominent household wishes to see you."
Finally, someone came to look for him. Fang Jinshu stood up and patted Ah Sheng's arm as she walked past him.
"Just relax, I've got this."
Asheng stood still and took a few deep breaths, quickly adjusting his state before following Fang Jinshu out.
Although he was very nervous in front of Fang Jinxiu, when he came to the public, he behaved quite calmly and composedly. If it weren't for seeing that Asheng had some potential as an emperor early on, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to Xixia herself.
If they had brought back an unaffordable dog at the time, Fang Jinshu would have absolutely not proposed this plan.
"You are the legendary Divine Physician, aren't you"
Fang Jinshi, after disguising herself, wore a hint of arrogance on her face. She nodded slightly towards the other person, appearing courteous but actually rather haughty in her demeanor.
The steward of the grand estate, seeing this, felt a sliver of belief in the rumors. Generally, people with talent, especially those with great talent, tend to have somewhat of a temper.
If this divine healer came, he would bow and fawn over him, then he'd start to doubt the truth of the rumors.
As a result, the butler became much more respectful towards her.
"Master Fang, my master is indisposed and unable to travel, so I have been sent to invite you."
"My old master said, as long as you can cure my old master's illness, the terms are up to you."
Fan Jinshi is also good at taking a jab at the right time.
As a physician, saving lives and healing the sick is my duty. To measure my medical skills with gold and silver is a grave disrespect to me.
Besides, I don't need your money.
The person in charge nearly bent over double.
Before I came out, my master instructed me to invite the person in first and then speak.
"Forgive me, Master Physician. I am but a lowly person with clumsy words and poor manners. If I have offended you in any way, please do not hold it against me."
My father-in-law's illness has been seen by many renowned doctors, but to no avail. Either the medicine only provides temporary relief for a while, and then he reverts back to his original condition.
“Having heard that your medical skills are renowned, I believe you can cure my master's illness.”
"Or perhaps the Divine Physician Fang is not confident enough to accept the invitation"
Even resorting to emotional manipulation, well, things have escalated quite a bit.
Fāng Jǐnxiù put on a feigning angry expression.
"Are you trying to provoke me"
"Who said I'm afraid to go, lead the way!"
"This divine physician wants to see what kind of difficult and complex ailment it is."
The manager now fully believed that Fang Jinshi was a quirky, proud doctor. Since their master had fallen ill, he had met quite a few famous doctors before and after.
Those with real ability are indeed quite similar in temperament to this person.
These doctors are all the same.
Upon arriving at the mansion of a certain influential person, in order to maintain her anonymity, Fang Jinshu was kept inside the sedan chair by the attendant. Instead of entering through the front gate, they used the back door and went directly to the courtyard of the influential person's residence.
As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she found herself in a room. The door was wide open.
Asheng clutched the medicine box tightly and followed Fang Jinxiu closely.
"Divine Doctor Fang, our master is inside. Please come in."
Fang Jinshi, accompanied by A Sheng, strode confidently into the room. However, upon seeing the person in front of them, she was taken aback for a moment.
The elderly man lay in bed, his hair as white as snow. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one would think he was already dead.
Asheng couldn't recognize which minister it was for the moment. After all, when he lived in the palace, his status was only slightly higher than that of a eunuch or maidservant, and he rarely had the opportunity to see ministers.
Only at the annual New Year's palace banquet was he allowed to attend, getting a glimpse of people from outside his world. hold grudges over minor disagreements.Unless one day you tell me with your own mouth that you don't want to be with me anymore and that you want to marry another woman, I will definitely make way for...
