The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 6 Mrs. Grade 1 Gaoming

When they actually arrived at Stone Street and looked at the scene in front of them, Xue Zhiyu felt indescribably uncomfortable. As a doctor, it was her duty to cure diseases and save lives. She adhered to the mission of doing her best to rescue patients as long as there was a glimmer of hope. Except for that medical accident, all the patients treated by her recovered.

"Girl? What are you doing?"

An old man's voice pulled Xue Zhiyu back from her memories. She looked at the skinny old man next to her. His thin body seemed like he would fall down if pushed, and his head full of white hair made him look even older.

"Uncle, do you live here?"

"Girl, I advise you to leave here. Cough cough cough... This is not the place you should come... Cough cough cough cough cough..." The old man said as he covered his mouth and started coughing. He waved at her with his other hand and turned to go in.

"Uncle, I'm here to help everyone," Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but get anxious and spoke quickly.

Sure enough, the old man paused, looked at her, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Little girl, I know your intentions, but those who can come here are people who have one foot in the gates of hell. You should go back."

"Uncle, do you often cough in the middle of the night, and have white phlegm? Do you feel sleepy easily? This is a sign of heavy dampness. Am I right?"

"You...how did you know that?" The old man then looked at the little girl in front of him carefully, unable to believe that it was she who had just said those words.

"Can I come to see where you live?"

In modern times, this is just a minor illness and there is no need to come here for hospital stay. However, it is also possible that there is no money to treat the illness. After all, the cost of medicine here is much higher than the fee for medical consultation.

When Xiaoqiu, who was behind her, heard that her young lady was going in, she was about to stop her, but was stopped by a look from her young lady, so she had to follow behind her obediently.

The old man hesitated for a while, but after seeing Xue Zhiyu's determined eyes, he felt like he was possessed and inexplicably felt that this little girl was reliable.

"Well, it's over there, not far from here," the old man pointed to one of the dilapidated houses over there.

Xue Zhiyu nodded and followed the old man. After passing a few houses, she looked in through the windows and frowned. The environment here didn't look like a place for people to stay at all. Moreover, some of the used dishes had not been washed in time, which would easily breed bacteria.

After arriving at the old man's house, Xue Zhiyu had a general understanding of the situation here. It seemed necessary to create a new environment.

"Girl, my place is rather simple and I don't have anything to offer you," the old man pushed open the door and slowly walked in.

Xue Zhiyu frowned even more deeply. In fact, as soon as she got close to here, she felt an indescribable discomfort. She remembered that the thing that made her feel uncomfortable was the humidity that hit her face when she went to the reservoir before, but she didn't expect that there would be such heavy humidity in a person's home.

Xiao Qiu behind him also felt it, and leaned over and whispered, "Miss, don't you feel uncomfortable here? Why don't we not go in?"

"No, I want to go in and take a look," he said and strode in. Xiaoqiu had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow him.

Xue Zhiyu walked into the house and began to walk around on her own. The first thing she did was to look for places related to water, either near a water source or where something had happened. Of course, the latter incident had nothing to do with her, after all, she was just a doctor.

Sure enough, there was a well not far from the bed, and Xue Zhiyu felt the wetness before she even walked in.

"How come there is a well in your house, old man?"

"Oh, that one is a long time old. It was already there when I came to live here. Girl, is there anything wrong with that well?" The old man also came over and looked at the well, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"There's nothing wrong with the well itself, but the problem is that it's too close to the bed. Plus, there's no lid covering the well mouth, so the room will slowly become very damp, and the people living there won't be any better off. Uncle, I suggest you seal the well and move a stove in to drive away the moisture."

When the old man heard what she said, his face became solemn. "I'll go get some wooden boards to seal it up right away," and he was about to walk out.

"Uncle, I have some powder and pills here. You can take them three times a day. And here is some dehumidifying tea. Just brew it with boiling water and drink it." Xue Zhiyu took out several packets of powder and several packets of small pills from her sleeves and placed them on the wooden table.

"This is so embarrassing. I still have some silver here. Use it as medical expenses," the old man said as he walked to a wooden cabinet, took out a box, took out five or six pieces of silver and handed it over.

"Old man, please keep it for yourself. If you really feel bad, I want to ask you something. Just tell me."

Fortunately, I took some household medicines from the space early this morning, otherwise I would have to go to the space to get them.

"Hmm? Ask me, girl, and I'll tell you what I know."

"How many households are there here?"

"There are eight families here, including me. Some of them are left here to fend for themselves because of long-term illnesses that are difficult to treat, so their families have given up on treatment, or they have no money to buy medicine to treat their illnesses."

Xue Zhiyu was silent. Now things were not as simple as she had imagined, and she still did not have a complete plan.

"Girl, who are you?"

"You can just call me Miss Xue. I have something else to do so I'll go back first. I'll come to see you next time," Xue Zhiyu said, and walked out of Stone Street with Xiaoqiu behind her.

After returning to her bedroom, Xue Zhiyu locked herself up and began to think about what to do next.

She looked at the map on the table, her mind racing. In this world where power is everything, how can one survive without some fame? But where can she go to increase her fame?

Just when she was racking her brains to figure it out, Xiaoqiu knocked on the door.

"Miss, the madam has asked someone to call you over for dinner."

"Okay, I'll be there now," Xue Zhiyu responded, stuffed her map into her sleeve, stood up, opened the door, and walked towards the front hall.

In the front hall, Mrs. Xue held the hand of the woman next to her affectionately, smiling in a flattering manner.

"Ma'am, how are you these days?"

The middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes sighed, with an indescribable fatigue on her face, "Xue Yin, to be honest with you, I...ah..."

Xueyin was Madam Xue's maiden name. Hearing the middle-aged woman say this, Madam Xue frowned and asked in confusion, "The general's favor towards you can be said to be envied by all women. How could it be..."

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "It's not that. The general is indeed very good to me, but I..." When the words came to her lips, the middle-aged woman's eyes were full of sadness, and suddenly she couldn't say it.

At this time, a servant came in and said to Madam Xue who was sitting there, "Madam, the eldest, second, and third young ladies are here and are waiting at the door."

"Well, let them in." Madam Xue picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She turned to the middle-aged woman and said, "Madam, would you like to try it too? This is the best Biluochun tea. The water temperature is just right."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, her eyes lit up. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Well, this excellent Biluochun is different."

While the two were discussing tea, three people walked in.

"This is a first-rank imperial lady. Why don't you come over and say hello?" Mrs. Xue said, then turned to introduce the middle-aged woman, "This is the eldest, Xue Yumei, this is the second, Xue Yulu, and the third, Xue Zhiyu."

"Hello, ma'am. It's an honor to meet you," Xue Yumei took the lead in bowing to the middle-aged woman.

"Hello, Madam. It is just as my mother said. Madam is truly a beauty. It is no exaggeration to say that I am very lucky to have the honor of witnessing your appearance."

Xue Zhiyu also bowed her head. She was so impressed by Xue Yulu's flattery that she almost wanted to give her a big red flower.

"Okay, okay, sit down, don't stand."

The three of them responded and found a seat to sit down.

Xue Zhiyu then began to look at the middle-aged woman carefully. According to her many years of experience as a doctor, this lady must have gynecological problems. But in the past, there was no such thing as gynecology or not. The main reason was that women were shy to talk about these things, and the doctors were all men, so they were even more embarrassed to talk about it.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Isn't this a great opportunity? Who wouldn't believe the words of a first-rank imperial lady? Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyu stood up and walked up to her, bowed, looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Madam, I think I can help you."

As soon as the words came out, Xue Yulu, who was sitting next to her, laughed unceremoniously, then glanced at her, "There are always some people who like to jump out without knowing their own limitations. It's really funny."

Xue Yumei was also worried and said, "Yes, if Zhiyu doesn't have the ability, just come back. There's no need to be afraid."

"Yes, kid, you just like to make trouble. Go back and sit down and stop talking nonsense here," Mrs. Xue said, and when she turned around and was about to say something to the middle-aged woman, the middle-aged woman stopped her.

"Oh? Then tell me about it, but don't blame me for not reminding you. You know what the price is for defaming a first-rank imperial lady."

"Yes, ma'am, I wouldn't say anything I'm not sure of, but what do you think of me telling you about this?"

"Okay, I agree, come over and tell me," for some reason, the middle-aged woman began to look forward to Xue Zhiyu's answer.

After getting permission, Xue Zhiyu walked over and whispered, "Madam, you haven't had sex for a long time, so your disease resistance has decreased, you have insomnia, and you are prone to losing your temper."

"You....you!! Are so bold!!"
