The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 340: Past and present lives, echoing each other

Ji Rong didn't expect Ye Wenyan to ask this. She was stunned for a moment, then answered: "Everything for Ji Nu is based on the Emperor. Whatever can impress the Emperor the most can impress us."

After thinking about it again, he shook his head again, "It seems that apart from you, my master, there is nothing in this world that can move the emperor. So our Ji family is actually quite boring. Although they are called Ji slaves, most of them have never been to the capital in their lives, have never seen the emperor, and no one will give them orders. They are just like ordinary people, born, old, sick and dying, and doing nothing all their lives."

Zhuier felt uncomfortable after hearing this and wanted to comfort Ji Rong, but when she thought about herself, she felt that everyone was the same and there was nothing to comfort. If there was no mission, then she would be just like ordinary people, which was not bad.

But Ji Rong thought it was not a good idea. She said, "Aunt told us that being able to come to Beijing and follow the fourth young lady is the greatest blessing in our lives. We think so too! When we are old and recall our lives, we will not only think of Quanzhou. In our short sixty years, we have traveled all over the country."

She seemed to have thought of something when she said this, and then continued, "Just now the master asked if there was anything that could impress the Ji family. I can't say that they could impress them, but there is one thing that the Emperor and our Ji family have been unable to let go of for hundreds of years."

Ye Wenyan sighed softly, "The spiritual power of heaven and earth, the life span of mankind."

Ji Rong nodded, "People shouldn't live only to sixty. An ancestor of the Ji family once crossed the Shoreless Sea, escaped death and was washed back to the shore. Although he was dying, he left a message at the end, saying that there are humans in other directions of the Shoreless Sea, and the lifespan of people there is up to a hundred years old, or even more than a hundred years old. As long as there is no disease or pain, you can live a long life. So we have been looking for the reason why the lifespan is imprisoned, but unfortunately for hundreds of years, we have found nothing. Even the Shoreless Sea has never been able to get out again..." Shi Liyuan had said the same thing, and Ye Wenyan himself had said it. Sixty-one Jiazi is just one Jiazi. How could a person's lifespan be limited to this Jiazi? This is absolutely impossible.

So she has always been suspecting that the disappearance of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, including the disappearance of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, was most likely controlled by something.

It could be a powerful person, or it could be the way of heaven.

But why is the way of heaven like this? If it is man-made, who can have such a powerful force?

Or in other words... Ye Wenyan frowned, and had to think about something that he had never wanted to think about.

This is the only time and space that is connected to the future, or in other words, the only time and space that is connected to the five meridians. The five meridians in the future have undergone tremendous changes, and the spiritual power here has disappeared. The five meridians in the future have perished, and the lifespan here has been imprisoned.

If the two sides echoed each other, then how did the two sides of time and space connect? How was the time-space channel discovered and opened? What did the ancestor named Ye Wu'an do in the past?

Seeing that Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, Zhuier and Ji Rong also didn't say anything, so they silently accompanied her all the way to the door of Shi's Clinic.

Bai Chuxiao was helping a woman with a weak leg come out of the clinic. While instructing the woman's daughter on how to take care of the patient, she waved at the carriage parked in front of the clinic: "Dezi, give this lady a ride. She lives in Ping'an Lane."

The woman and her daughter thanked him again and again, and were helped into the carriage by the coachman named Dezi.

When Bai Chuxiao saw the carriage leave, she lifted her skirt and went back to the clinic. But when she looked up, she saw Ye Wenyan approaching.

"The fourth young lady is here?" The little girl was very happy to see Ye Wenyan, and subconsciously wanted to hold her hand. After she stretched out her hand, she felt it was not appropriate, so she took it back embarrassedly, and bowed with a smile, "Hello, fourth young lady."

Ye Wenyan also came back to her senses and stopped thinking about those things. Seeing Bai Chuxiao bowing to her, she quickly reached out to help her, "You are also a lady from the inner city mansion. We are friends, so you don't have to bow to me."

Bai Chuxiao shook her head, "I am only the granddaughter of the imperial physician, not a proper official. Besides, our Bai family has been performing rituals for generations, and we are not talking about secular etiquette. The person who can make us perform rituals willingly must be better in medical skills than us and have both moral integrity. In summary, the fourth lady is the best choice for both inner and outer cities of Lin'an, and she is the first person I truly admire."

Hearing this, Ye Wenyan remembered that Doctor Bai wanted this granddaughter to stay with her. So she asked one more question: "Have you been in the outer city all this time? Have you ever been home?"

Bai Chuxiao replied: "I went back once and met my grandfather, father and mother. I told them that I wanted to stay in the clinic. They all agreed. I just don't know if the fourth young lady is willing to let me stay here forever."

She said this with a pleading look on her face, "Fourth Miss, can you take me with you? Even if I just stay by your side to help you, or be your maid, that's fine! Just like Zhuier, from now on I will be called Xiaoer, and Zhuier and I will serve you together."

Zhuier grimaced when she heard this, "Miss Bai, please stop it! I am a slave and will be a slave for my whole life. You are an official, who has ever heard of a girl from an official family being a maid? You still want to serve the fourth lady with me, then I will have to serve you two."

Bai Chuxiao patted her chest and said, "I will definitely not let you serve me. I am not the kind of pampered person, and my family does not treat me like a spoiled young lady. As long as I can stay by the side of the fourth young lady, I will serve you."

Ye Wenyan knocked her head. She had planned who would serve whom, but she didn't plan to accept any apprentices. She wasn't a real doctor. She didn't come to this time and space to practice medicine and save the world. How did she become a miracle doctor by accident? This matter started when Master Li Yuan asked her to govern Qingcheng. It was really a wrong play from the beginning. It was really helpless.

She walked into the clinic, and did not respond to Bai Chuxiao's words, but observed the clinic carefully. The Shi family clinic was at least twice as big as the Li family clinic in the inner city, and it was almost the size of the Li family clinic and the cloth shop next to it combined. Because the outer city itself occupied a large area, the shops built there were naturally much larger.

The inside of the clinic was a little different from when she treated the wounded in the outer city. There were two more seats where the doctors sat. Xiao Jue sat in one of the seats, treating a patient. Bai Chuxiao told her about the other two seats: "One of them is for me. I can also treat simple diseases. In order to help Doctor Xiao, I usually help him. There is a curved pole above my seat. Miss Fourth, look -" She pointed upwards, "There is a curtain under the pole. I only treat female patients. If a female patient comes and needs a physical examination, I will draw the curtain. This is much more convenient."

After saying that, he pointed to the other side and said, "That seat is usually empty, but my grandfather comes every two days, and he will be given the seat when he comes. It may be because everyone recognizes the reputation of the imperial physician in the palace, and my grandfather is old, so people can trust him at a glance, so every time my grandfather comes, there will be a lot more patients visiting him." Ye Wenyan didn't expect that Imperial Physician Bai would have this intention, and for a moment he became more considerate about Bai Chuxiao's matter.

After all, for so many years, the imperial doctors in the palace had never thought of coming to the clinic in the outer city to see patients, but now there was an imperial doctor Xiao and an old imperial doctor Bai. She couldn't play dumb, they came just for her, and she had to accept the favor.

In addition to the diagnosis area, the places where medicinal materials are arranged have also changed. Some of them are traditional medicinal materials, which are also used in traditional prescriptions to treat common diseases. Another part is new categories of medicinal materials, which are placed in bottles containing pills. The pills inside are all nourished by Ye Wenyan with flower spirits and have miraculous effects.

Bai Chuxiao continued to explain to her: "The pills are mainly used to treat seriously injured patients. We only give one pill to those who are dying because we can't cure them. As for other patients, as long as Doctor Xiao and my grandfather can cure them, we won't waste the pills. I don't know how much the pills should be sold for. I heard that one pill in the inner city is 100 taels of silver. My grandfather said that 100 taels of silver is actually too cheap, and it's worth selling it for 10,000 taels. But that's just talk. After all, even if it's 100 taels of silver, most people in the outer city can't afford it."

"So how are you selling the pills now?"

Bai Chuxiao told her: "Now those who have money will be given 100 taels, and those who don't have money will be subsidized by the Shi family for the time being. The Shi family has subsidized a lot of money these days."

When Zhuier heard this, he asked another question: "Isn't the clinic owned by the Shi family? If they use their own medicine, who will they give it to?"

Ye Wenyan then remembered that the Shi brothers and sisters were also in the clinic, but he looked around and didn't see anyone, so he asked Bai Chuxiao: "Where are the two brothers and sisters from the Shi family? Do they come to the clinic every day to look after us?"

Bai Chuxiao nodded, "I come every day. Xun'er is in charge of the accounts, and Brother Weili is responsible for the purchase of medicinal materials. Brother Weili went out of the city today to inspect new medicinal materials. Xun'er is in the back hall. Do you want to call her, Miss?"

Ye Wenyan thought about it and nodded, "Okay. But no need to call, we can just go to the back hall to see."

The group walked to the back hall. Xiao Jue looked over here a few times. He seemed anxious to come over and talk, but he had a patient on hand and couldn't leave. Ye Wenyan said to Ji Rong, "Go tell Doctor Xiao that there is no rush. I will stay in the outer city for a while. I will talk to him after he finishes seeing today's patients."

Ji Rong went there immediately.

Ye Wenyan brought Zhuier and followed Bai Chuxiao around the front hall to a small room on the side. Bai Chuxiao said, "This is where Xun'er does the accounting. She is responsible for all the accounts of the clinic. She used to report to the Shi family on a monthly basis. At the end of the first month, the Shi family said that from now on, the clinic's accounts will only be given to you, the fourth young lady, and the Shi family will no longer check them. By the way, the money for the pills I just mentioned, the subsidies from the Shi family have all been entered into the clinic's account. They are all real money, not a penny less."

The two of them went into the house while talking. Shi Ruoxun was very happy to see Ye Wenyan. "The fourth young lady is finally here. I was thinking today that if I don't see the fourth young lady in the next two days, I will go to the inner city. There is really something I must discuss with the fourth young lady..."
