Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 67: Visitors and the people who don’t want her to get better

“Can you find a cure to the poison inside Lin Chujiu’s body?” The Emperor who’s eyes turn cold, eagerly asked. Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan got so shocked and couldn’t help but to take a step backward. But soon enough, he tried to calm his mind and then answer: “This servant is incompetent and cannot create a cure to Princess Xiao’s chronic poison. However, if her body will be nursed back to health, she can live for ten years more.”

While checking Lin Chujiu’s pulse, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan can predict that Lin Chujiu can live at least ten years with the chronic poison inside her body. Which is significantly much higher than what Doctor Wu. But, that’s only how long he can guarantee her life because it is really hard to cure.

“Ok, that’s more than enough ... ...” The Emperor suddenly realized that: “He found himself a perfect reason. Xiao Wangfu is a real ... ... trouble maker.”

The meaning of the Emperor’s words is not clear, but Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan didn’t even dare to think about it or even tried to listen more about it. As much as possible, he just wants to shrink in that place so that the Emperor wouldn’t find his presence.

Because even though he is one of the Emperor’s confidant, he doesn’t want to know anything about the royal family’s conflict. After all, if he knows too much, only death will await him. He doesn’t want to die early ah!

Fortunately, the Emperor knows the meaning of his abnormal reactions. So, the Emperor just waved his hand, to indicate that he can now leave.

“This servant will now retire, may the Emperor live a thousand years more.” After Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan pays his respect, he just busily runs out to the study room. And because he runs out too fast, he almost knocked over the midnight snack that a little eunuch is holding... ...

The night that Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan had visited Xiao Wangfu to diagnose Lin Chujiu’s sickness spread the next day. And at the same time, the news that Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan wasn’t able to properly diagnosed Lin Chujiu’s sickness also spread.

Why did they do that?

Because even Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan wasn’t able to cure Lin Chujiu. So, Xiao Wangfu’s people started inviting every doctor in the capital to try diagnosing and cure her sickness. With that, all the prestigious and not-so-prestigious doctor in the capital went to Xiao Wangfu to treat Lin Chujiu. However, each one of them only said one thing and that is: They only have a little talent and knowledge!

Can someone really become a doctor if they only know a little?

Of course not... ... or maybe some of them are only faking their diagnosis. Some doctor who had the ability also diagnose Lin Chujiu’s sickness the same way as Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan. However, they also don’t want to blend with royal family’s conflict so they choose to remain silent.

That’s understandable. After all, even Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan didn’t even dare to say his diagnosis. So, why would these ordinary doctors dare?

If they join in, then they are just looking for their own death!

Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan is the most prestigious doctor in the East Country. However, even someone like him couldn’t diagnose Lin Chujiu’s disease. So, what good things will come out to these ordinary doctors.

So, no matter how many doctors Xiao Wangfu had invited, the result of her sickness is still unknown.

*

Inside the Lin Family’s Mansion. When Lin Furen heard that Lin Chujiu is seriously ill. She got so shocked and just stayed at home all day because she’s so afraid that Xiao Wangfu and the people would learn that she’s the one who poisoned Lin Chujiu.

And when she heard that Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan check Lin Chujiu’s condition and Xiao Wangfu invited all the doctor. She got so scared and got sick in bed.

She only felt a little better when she heard that even though Xiao Wangfu had invited dozens of doctors, they were still unable to diagnose her sickness. So evidently, that slut is keeping her word because she took her money. Unfortunately, even though that slut has a lot of money, she doesn’t have much time to spend them all because she will die soon.

Lin Furen’s complexion gets betters and better after thinking Lin Chujiu’s doom. So, when Lin Wanting came to see her, she can already sit up on the bed. Lin Wanting saw her mother smiling so she tried to persuade her: ” Niang (Mother), Lin Chujiu’s sickness is well known in the capital. Aren’t we going to visit her even though you’re only her mother in name?”

After Lin Chujiu’s wedding day, she sent back all those dowry maidservants to Lin Family’s mansion so Lin Furen loss her face and her image as a good stepmother was destroyed. And since then, Lin Furen became a laughing stock in the high society. Making Lin Wanting also feel ashamed to go out.

“Your uncle and aunt didn’t even go to visit her, so there’s nothing to worry about. Let Xiao Wangfu know that Lin Chujiu doesn’t have anyone to rely on this family.” Lin Furen‘s voice somewhat sounded weak but didn’t affect her domineering words.

“What you said is not wrong, but if Grandmother learns about it. Knowing her temper, she will definitely scold you, Uncle and Aunt. However, if we visit her, the possibility that Grandmother defending her is much lower when she arrives.” Lin Wanting softly said. The tone of her voice is much softer, so she sounded more like a patient than Lin Furen.

“When will your Grandmother be back?” Lin Furen really got worried with recent events, so her mind couldn’t focus.

“Aunt said that Grandmother had sent her a message, saying that she will arrive in five days. If Grandmother learns that Lin Chujiu is sick and will die soon, but you and Aunt didn’t even visit her, she will definitely get angry.” Of course, Lin Wanting also doesn’t want to see Lin Chujiu. After all, now that she became Princess Xiao, she needs to pay her a respect. Just by thinking about, Lin Wanting wants to tear Lin Chujiu into pieces.

But......

She also doesn’t dare to offend her Grandmother. So, whenever she is in front of her Grandmother, she tried her best to act like a loving sister to Lin Chujiu.

Lin Wanting got angry and twisted her veil while saying: “Niang, we must think of a way on how we will make Lin Chujiu a laughing stock. It will be much better if it’s in front of Prince Xiao and his people. Once they learn Lin Chujiu’s real color, Prince Xiao will no longer find a doctor for her. Let’s see if she can defend herself by then.”

When Lin Wanting spit out such vicious words with her delicate face, Lin Furen didn’t hesitate to nod her head gently and exposed her praise in her eyes... ...

However, at this point in time, Lin Chujiu was able to escape meeting the capital’s noble ladies, but fell into a trap of meeting the “Onlookers doctors”.

Ahem ... ... calling them “Onlookers Doctors” must be exaggerated. After all, her identity as Princess Xiao is noble. So, her face is not allowed to get exposed to those ordinary doctors. Only Doctor Wu and other Imperial Doctor that the Emperor had sent can directly diagnose her. While the doctors from the capital can only diagnose her by checking her pulse because they were separated by curtains.

Modern Chinese doctors usually make their diagnosis after questioning and observing, but not behind the curtains. So right now, what these ancient doctors doing is practically not good and proper... ...

So no wonder why they are having a difficult to diagnose!

Lin Chujiu notice a few doctor that had diagnosed the poison in her body. But aside from those, every doctor that had to check her pulse would only shake their head and sigh while saying: “My medical knowledge is still lacking, so I couldn’t diagnose what Princess Xiao’s disease.”

Someone even said that: “Princess Xiao is seriously ill. Please prepare her funeral as soon as possible!”

However, no matter what the result, Housekeeper Cao will still give those ordinary doctors one or two silver as a service fee. But after that doctor left, some guard shout back: “You quack! Our Wangfei is still in a good condition so preparing her funeral is too early!”

After being called a quack, the doctor added: “This old one’s diagnosis is not wrong, Princess Xiao’s body is seriously weak, she will die soon.”

“Princess Xiao may look healthy, but in reality, her body had long been deteriorating. If you wouldn’t properly be careful, Princess Xiao can only live three or five years more. You’ll see it anyway... ...”

It seems this skilled doctor can’t understand politics. Although he didn’t mention about the poison inside Lin Chujiu’s body, what he said is exactly true. So Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but get suspicious with this doctor’s origin.
