Chapter 23: War of Words with Doctor Hu
After the servant went in to report, Yuan Ying put away his smile and walked into the study, where there were several unfamiliar faces that he had not seen yesterday.
Yuan Ying stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Good morning, Your Majesty!
Doctor Xiao frowned as he looked at him, with a hint of gangsterism. Most people would kneel down and pay respects to the prince. But the prince didn't care, so he couldn't say anything.
Yuan Ying didn't care what others thought. She couldn't kneel down. She had to kneel down to heaven, to the earth, and to her parents.
Murong Xuanyi saw Yuan Ying coming in and said, "You've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Imperial Doctor Hu, this is Imperial Doctor Zhang, and that is Lord Cui."
Murong Xuanyi introduced them to her one by one, and then received a lot of scrutiny.
Doctor Hu was about fifty years old. He glanced at Yuan Ying with a gaze like dim stars, filled with endless disdain and contempt.
He said in a cold tone: "I have read your prescription, but I am confused. What do you mean by three medicines and three prescriptions?" Then he casually placed the prescription on the desk.
The contemptuous and arrogant tone made Yuan Ying very uncomfortable. She slowly sipped the tea and said, "Well, it's normal for most people to not understand this recipe. After all, it's not an ordinary recipe."
After hearing this, the faces of several imperial doctors darkened, implying that those who couldn't understand her prescriptions were ordinary people...
"Three medicines and three prescriptions. Different prescriptions can be used for patients at different stages. What's wrong with using the right medicine for the right condition? What's more..."
Before Yuan Ying could finish his words, Doctor Hu shouted, "Aren't you kidding me? It's fine if the sick people take the medicine, but you also want healthy people to take the medicine?" When Doctor Hu raised this question, the other doctors echoed him.
Murong Xuanyi also looked at Yuan Ying without saying a word. He also had the same doubts.
"Let healthy people drink this medicine to prevent infection." Yuan Ying explained patiently.
"Can drinking this medicine prevent infection?" Doctor Zhang said at the side.
"It's not necessarily possible, but it does have a certain preventive effect," said Yuan Ying.
Doctor Hu looked at Yuan Ying aggressively and said, "How much money would it cost to make all the people in a county drink this medicine, whether they are sick or not? The national treasury is empty now. Are you going to drain the national treasury of money?"
Doctor Hu clasped his fists towards Murong Xuanyi and said, "Your Highness, this Young Master Yuan has an unknown background and ulterior motives. The country is in turmoil right now. I hope Your Highness will think twice and not be deceived by this treacherous person."
Yuan Ying almost jumped up when he heard this. But he remained calm and said, "No wonder you were helpless when a small plague broke out for so long. It turns out that you didn't pay any attention to the plague at all, but tried your best to exclude talented people. You eat the salary of the court, but you don't work for the people. What is your intention?"
Doctor Hu was so angry that he shook his fingers and said, "That's nonsense. You...you...Prince..."
Yuan Ying rushed to say to Murong Xuanyi: "Your Highness, since you don't trust me, just leave. We'd better ask someone else to take care of the plague." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
Murong Xuanyi's icy eyes swept over Doctor Hu and said, "Mr. Yuan is naturally not a person who seeks fame and reputation. You can treat him according to your own method, and others will cooperate with you."
Doctor Hu sighed helplessly upon seeing this.
Yuan Ying snorted coldly, and when he saw that no one had any objections, he sat down again.
Immediately, Doctor Hu said to Murong Xuanyi: "Your Majesty, I am old and ill, and it is difficult for me to take on the responsibility of fighting the epidemic. Please allow me to take leave and return to Beijing."
Anyway, if this young man is there, he will not be there. The three medicines and three prescriptions are a joke. If there is no disease, not only will his colleagues laugh at his ignorance and incompetence, but the people will also accuse him of messing around.
Murong Xuanyi's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Doctor Hu, I have no right to approve your leave. It was my father who ordered you to come here to fight the epidemic. If you don't do it, you will have to return to the capital and apologize to the emperor."
Doctor Hu also said in a bad tone: "I will report today's events truthfully to His Majesty. Your Highness Prince Jing, please explain the whole story to His Majesty then!" After glancing at Yuan Ying, he turned away.
After that, everyone was silent. Murong Xuanyi said calmly: "From now on, everyone will obey Yuan Ying's orders on epidemic relief. If the emperor blames me, I will take all the responsibility."
Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying steadily and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Your Highness, once trust is lost, it is very difficult to regain it. I know you do not trust me, but time will prove everything. Why don't you wait and see, Your Highness?" She was a little angry, and her words were straightforward, without any beating around the bush.
Murong Xuanyi seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say much. Afterwards, Yuan Ying and Doctor Xiao exchanged some details about the epidemic relief and then left.
Yuan Ying felt exhausted after returning to her room, even more exhausted than she was after a 30-kilometer cross-country race. It seemed that it was not easy to earn the 100,000 taels. She might as well just forget it. She might even get beheaded.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If she gives up now, Murong Xuanyi will definitely think she is a liar and will find her and kill her no matter where she goes. The direction of her plague treatment is not wrong. The outbreak in China was under control that year. This is just a county town. Although the surrounding counties and cities have been affected, it is not serious.
But if it is not controlled, it will soon break out across the country. How many people will die from this plague? How innocent they are.
Beheading is the last word. Since I am a modern person who has come to ancient times, I must do my best to do something for the ancients. I will stop worrying about it after I figure it out.
Yuan Ying thought of the old man. He was so good at using poison, so he must be good at practicing medicine. She didn't know if the old man was still in Yunfu City. She immediately rushed out of the room and bumped into Jiang Chong who came to bring her food.
Jiang Chong asked, "Where are you going, Master Yuan?" Yuan Ying said without even turning his head, "I'm going to the street to buy some things. Please tell the prince for me."
Jiang Chong immediately ran to the study to report. Murong Xuanyi paused with his pen in hand. There was no expression on his face.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Jiang Chong, "Send Yingjiu to follow secretly." Yuan Ying swaggered around the street but couldn't find anyone.
She thought that looking for someone in Dayun City was like looking for a needle in a haystack. She had to think of a way. She wasn't sure if the old man had left the city. Why didn't she think of the old man's use earlier? Alas...
Suddenly Yuan Ying discovered that someone was following her secretly. She jumped left and right and ran quickly through several winding streets before she shook off the tail.
This person is following very closely, he must be very skilled in martial arts. Could it be the man in black from last time...
Just as he was about to summon Brother Ying, someone patted him on the back. He then jumped in front of Yuan Ying and said, "You little bastard, don't even think about getting rid of me."
Yuan Ying was startled, thinking that she had really met a man in black. She rolled her eyes at the old man and said, "Can you be more normal? You suddenly jumped in front of me and scared me to death."
The old man complained: "Who told you to sneak away while I was sleeping?"
Yuan Ying immediately put on a flattering smile: "Okay, don't be angry, I won't be angry again in the future."
The old man immediately perked up: "Then are you willing to accept me as your apprentice?" You can't get over this damn old guy, right?
"You are already this old, how can I accept you as my apprentice? But if you want to know how I broke your cartilage powder, I can tell you. But there are conditions..."
The old man asked, "What are the conditions?"
"You are so good at using poison, so you must be good at medicine as well, right?" Yuan Ying asked.
The old man was smug when he heard this: "Of course, the world's number one doctor is not just a name."
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Ying with a vigilant look: "What do you want to do?"
Yuan Ying smiled and said, "Of course I will take you to make use of your strengths as the number one doctor. Is there a plague in Zhuang County now? I have revealed the imperial decree. I want to work with you to help the people."
The old man jumped up excitedly when he heard this and said, "Don't even think about asking me to work for Murong Jie again. He is a treacherous villain."
Yuan Ying was confused for a long time and didn't understand the situation. Then he heard the old man's face ferociously said: "Emperor Murong Jie has betrayed me and bullied me. Everyone in the world has betrayed me. Don't even think about letting me practice medicine for the people in this world. I stopped practicing medicine thirty years ago and only use poison."
After that, he burst into crazy laughter. Hahahaha… Yuan Ying looked around cautiously, and pulled the old man to a pavilion by the river. Yuan Ying probably also understood that this old man had a grudge with Emperor Murong Jie, and it was a deep grudge.
Is it revenge for his father's murder? Or hatred for his wife's seizure? According to the temperament of the ancients, they would not stop until they had their revenge, so how could they have the heart to wander around. Or is it that Bai Yueguang fell in love with someone else and made him disgusted with the world? Well, this seems to make sense...
Yuan Ying admired her own intelligence. It would be a waste of talent if she didn't become a detective. She patted the old man's shoulder soothingly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this."
He continued to persuade her: "Although it is said that one should not advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering, I still hope that you can put aside your personal grudges and save the innocent people from the plague."
Seeing that the old man remained silent, he continued, "After all, the title of the world's number one doctor was not given by Murong Jie, but was the highest honor bestowed upon you by the people of the world. It is a recognition of you. No matter how you nitpick, the people of the world have not let you down."
"Actually, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person. I could also see that you were kind and a loving person." The first time, this old man was not kind at all, but no matter who he is, he would like to hear flattery.
"I will go to Zhuang County tomorrow if you have figured it out. I will wait for you at the city gate. I am a man of my words and will do what I promised you."
Yuan Ying could only say so much, as saying more would cause disgust. He patted the old man on the shoulder and left.
The old man sat alone in the pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking about, and he didn't get up for a long time.
