Chapter 919 Ruxue
"Dr. Zhao, you..."

Shi Jia looked at Xun Yue in surprise, noticing the fleeting worry on his face. "Marquis Anyuan, have you been summoned by His Majesty?"

"The news of His Majesty's critical illness has reached outside the palace, causing widespread panic in the city. I was worried that something might have happened in the palace, so I went to visit His Majesty," Xun Yue said. "Physician Zhao, how is His Majesty's condition?"

Shi Jia said, "His Majesty's condition is alright. I have to go back, so I won't disturb Marquis Anyuan any longer." But in his heart, he thought, "Tsk tsk, this palace is really full of holes. It's only been two hours since the emperor suddenly fell ill, and the news has already spread outside the palace? And everyone knows about it?"
On another note, was Marquis Anyuan explaining something to me just now?

Shi Jia recalled her past interactions with Marquis Anyuan. This Marquis Anyuan always gave her a strange feeling, as if he was very interested in her and full of curiosity. But there was also a sense of scrutiny in this curiosity.

What to examine?
Why does he need to examine himself?

Does he not trust her? Isn't the medical skill she's demonstrated enough to convince him?

Shi Jia shook his head and quickened his pace.

Xun Yue stared at Shi Jia's retreating figure for a long time, until the other disappeared from his sight, before turning back in the direction he had come from. Well, he hadn't come for the emperor; since the emperor wasn't dead, there was no need for him to remain in the palace.

Ah, the emperor isn't dead. His three cousins ​​must be relieved. After all, the news of the emperor's sudden death came too suddenly; they weren't prepared at all.

But after today, the capital will no longer be peaceful.

Xun Yue curled the corners of his mouth and quickened his pace.

Shi Jia left the palace and returned to the Marquis of Anding's residence by carriage. A carriage had been waiting for her for a long time in front of the residence. She looked at the familiar emblem on the carriage and called out.

"Like snow."

Wen Ruxue quickly lifted the curtains, and her gaze fell upon a familiar figure through the thick hood. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Dr. Zhao, thank goodness, you're alright."

Shi Jia was taken aback when she heard this. "You came here specifically to wait for me?"

“Yes, I heard from Father that something happened in the palace and that His Majesty summoned you. I…” Wen Ruxue’s eyes reddened.

So the news really got out of the palace. Shi Jia was surprised that a young lady like Wen Ruxue knew about it, and quickly comforted her, "I'm fine, and His Majesty is fine too. Let's go inside first, you need to change your dressing anyway."

“Okay.” Wen Ruxue got off the carriage and followed Shi Jia through the side gate of the Dingyuan Marquis’s residence.

After Princess Ruihe's snow-viewing banquet, Lady Chengen brought Wen Ruxue to seek medical treatment. Wen Ruxue has now completed a course of treatment after more than a month.

The birthmark on Wen Ruxue's face had faded by three-tenths of its original color. The small bumps on the birthmark had also completely disappeared.

"Let me check how your skin is healing." Shi Jia wiped all the medicinal mud applied to Wen Ruxue's birthmark clean.

The skin where the small bumps used to be has healed, and the new skin is white, not the reddish-brown color of the birthmark.

At this moment, these white new skins looked like stars on the reddish-brown birthmark.

Shi Jia observed carefully, "Hmm, the color has indeed faded. I'll give you another acupuncture session today to unblock the meridians on your face, which will help with the metabolism of skin cells."

"Huh? Okay, I'll listen to Doctor Zhao." Wen Ruxue didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from obeying.

Without warning, before Wen Ruxue could even react, her face was covered in gold needles. "Alright, lie still and don't move. I'll prepare some new medicine for you."

"it is good."

Wen Ruxue lay on the soft couch, not daring to move. Suddenly, she remembered what her sister-in-law had told her a couple of days ago, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Dr. Zhao."

"what's up?"

"Someone asked me if you've had time to make house calls lately," Wen Ruxue said somewhat nervously.

"What illness?" Kong definitely has some kind of illness. But she's not keen on treating minor ailments. It's a waste of time, and besides, it would also take away other doctors' learning and development opportunities, wouldn't it? Besides, she doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once, and her health isn't exactly great either.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Doctor Zhao did not refuse outright. "It is a lady who developed a chronic illness during childbirth. Every winter, she experiences pain in her lower back and abdomen, and sometimes she cannot even get out of bed."

"She consulted many doctors and even the imperial physicians, but she was still not cured, so she wanted to ask you to take a look."

“Alright, go back and send her a message. I’m not busy these next few days,” Shi Jia said.

"Okay." Wen Ruxue was overjoyed. Since she received treatment, her personality had changed a lot. The Chengen Marquis's family was a family of military generals. She came from a military family, and even if she felt inferior because of her birthmark, she would still be influenced by her family's traditions to some extent.

"Master, Madam Ling has arrived." Chuncao's voice came at this moment.

"Is it your great-aunt?" Wen Ruxue exclaimed, instinctively trying to stand up.

Shi Jia quickly stopped him, "Don't move."

Wen Ruxue obediently listened. Shi Jia nodded, opened the door, and went out. "Madam, is it Young Master Ling..."

"No, no, thanks to you, Dingkun has fully recovered and started practicing martial arts with the guards yesterday." Old Madam Ling quickly waved her hand, as if afraid that Shi Jia would misunderstand.

"I heard that Ru Xue is here?" She peeked into the room, but Shi Jia closed the door.

"Yes, she's getting acupuncture. Let her come see you after she's finished," Shi Jia said with a smile.

"Oh, I heard that Ru Xue's birthmark has faded quite a bit?"

“Yes, in two months, the birthmark on Ruxue’s face should be completely gone,” Shi Jia said.

"Good, good." Madam Ling was very happy. "It's all thanks to the divine physician that Dingkun and Ruxue were able to be reborn."

"Your kindness to them is something I could never repay, even in the next life..."

Shi Jia blinked. Was Old Madam Ling here specifically to flatter her?
"...How about this, since Ruxue is here too, let's have dinner together tonight. Consider it a way of thanking the divine physician for saving our lives." Old Madam Ling looked at Shi Jia expectantly.

Shi Jia was a little confused about Madam Ling's purpose. Did she need something from her?

"Um, Madam, you might as well speak frankly if you have something to say."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, please don't misunderstand, Divine Doctor. I just wanted to thank you." Old Madam Ling smiled kindly, but her eyes kept glancing at the room behind Shi Jia.

Forehead?
Shi Jia turned to look at the tightly closed door. Oh, Wen Ruxue was inside. So, Old Madam Ling's target was Wen Ruxue?

why?
But she quickly realized that Old Madam Ling wanted to matchmake her son with Wen Ruxue. But if she remembered correctly, this Old Madam Ling was Wen Ruxue's great-aunt.

Although her son and Wen Ruxue are only three generations apart, they are still blood relatives. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

“I appreciate the old lady’s kindness, but there’s no need for dinner. Ruxue will be going back soon anyway,” Shi Jia said with a smile. “It’s too late, and I’m afraid the Lady of Cheng’en will worry.”

Madam Ling was quite disappointed upon hearing this, but considering that Shi Jia was right, she didn't insist. While they were chatting, it was time for the acupuncture. Shi Jia went in to remove the needles and apply the medicine to Wen Ruxue.

Old Madam Ling held onto Wen Ruxue tightly, expressing her heartache, but she couldn't hide the satisfaction on her face, which made Wen Ruxue feel uneasy all over.

When Wen Ruxue returned and told her mother, the Lady of Chengen frowned. She patted her daughter's hand and said, "It's alright, I will talk to your father about this."

"In the blink of an eye, Ruxue has grown up so much." Lady Chengen stroked her daughter's hair.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruxue suddenly understood and blushed.
