The cruel little princess

At this moment, Doctor Xu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, came closer and said, "Dear uncles, thank you for your hard work in coming all the way here!" He gestured to General Shen to send someone to let them rest first, and they could talk about it tomorrow.

Shen Duanfang received a signal from Doctor Xu and coughed twice. "You all have come all the way from the capital and are exhausted. Go down and have a rest first. We can discuss it tomorrow." After that, he summoned a few soldiers and asked them to take the imperial envoy and the doctors to the empty tents for settlement. The soldiers took the order and took them away.

Shen Youyou didn't take Doctor Li's provocation to heart. After all, her pregnancy was just like other women's pregnancy. She couldn't just tell everyone that she was talented. After a long time, someone would find out.

However, when His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who had returned to the camp to handle military affairs, heard about this, he ordered Doctor Li not to follow Shen Youyou to learn how to make the Black Jade Ointment, but to go to the wounded camp to treat the soldiers, so that the other military doctors could devote themselves to learning. Originally, the other military doctors were busy treating the soldiers every day, just like they were on the march and fighting, and then they took turns on duty to squeeze out time to attend classes, and sometimes they even quarreled over the quota for attending classes. Now, with Doctor Li here, they can all go to study directly! The military doctors shouted happily, "Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Jin! Thank you, Doctor Li!"

When Imperial Physician Li saw the military doctors thanking him upon his arrival, he initially thought that Prince Jin had some ulterior motive against him, and instead assumed that Prince Jin had allowed him to come in because he saw his medical skills as exceptional and didn't need much training. All I can say is, this was a beautiful misunderstanding!

After a night of rest and repacking, the other doctors were all refreshed and followed Doctor Xu out to "see for themselves"! Doctor Xu thought about how he had once been a country bumpkin like these doctors, observing Professor Shen Youyou's knowledge. He felt a pang of amusement in his heart. Fortunately, no one knew what he looked like back then except for the people who were studying with him now. And he was the best student among them all, a fact recognized by Shen Youyou! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but straighten his back again and led them to where Shen Youyou was teaching. He watched them listen in amazement throughout the entire class. Well, he loved watching these country bumpkins!

When Shen Youyou first saw Doctor Xu bringing the other imperial physicians over, she assumed they were here to help teach the other medicine boys and military doctors, sharing their own unique and special secrets. Compared to Shen Youyou, they possessed far more extensive medical experience and unique insights developed through their own practice. But even after she finished her presentation, the group of imperial physicians hadn't regained their composure, still lost in what she had just said. She knew her hope of hearing their diverse medical insights today was impossible.

Until she said, "Today's class ends here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask now." Before she could finish her words, a group of old men quickly surrounded her, not giving anyone else a chance to ask questions. The chattering of the group made it difficult for Shen Youyou to hear clearly. She could only control her temper, "Stop! Speak one by one. You all said I can't hear clearly."

The imperial physicians then stopped arguing and began asking reasonable questions one by one. "Miss Shen, the intestinal structure is so complex, with divisions like the large intestine, small intestine, duodenum, and cecum. How do you determine which part is diseased?"

"That's easy. Each disease has different symptoms. For example..." Doctor Xu looked at Shen Youyou, surrounded by them. Her fair, translucent face seemed filled with a brilliant light. She answered every tricky question confidently and elegantly, her words eloquent and meaningful. Seeing Shen Youyou like this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that from this moment on, a tenant had quietly taken up residence in his heart.

It was not until the soldiers came to inform them that it was time for dinner and Shen Youyou answered all the questions carefully one by one that this group of country bumpkin doctors left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Shen Youyou heaved a long sigh. It turned out that professional doctors were different from the little medicine boy. The little medicine boy's questions were easy to understand, but the questions asked by these old doctors made her feel as if she was being tortured by her master with questions one by one... Fortunately, she knew more than them because of her combination of Chinese and Western medicine, otherwise her reputation would be ruined!

The days dragged on, neither hurried nor slow. The imperial physicians grew accustomed to attending their daily lectures. Imperial Physician Li, on the other hand, could only listen to them discuss topics he only vaguely understood after they returned to their tents, and he couldn't bring himself to ask questions. He'd heard that all this was Shen Youyou's teaching, and he couldn't bring himself to do so. Furthermore, the woman whose cesarean section had been performed hadn't yet been confirmed to be alive, so he couldn't afford to admit defeat!

On the tenth day after Shen Youyou performed surgery on Madam Liu, an unexpected person arrived at the military camp—Mr. Liu! He also brought a hundred carts of food and fodder!

General Shen invited someone to his tent and sent for Shen Youyou. The soldier who delivered the message was a bit confused and didn't know what was going on. He only said that someone claiming to be Liu Jianye had asked to see his daughter! The imperial physicians didn't know that the great man Liu was actually Liu Jianye. They thought it was someone from somewhere else looking for trouble, so they all followed Shen Youyou in a mighty procession.

General Shen was startled. Why were there so many people following him? But he had seen a lot of things, so he figured these doctors might be coming to see his daughter's moment. He didn't chase them away, but simply pulled his daughter over to him.

Shen Youyou took a look and realized that the Liu Jianye the soldier was talking about was not the great good man Liu. She nodded and said hello, "Master Liu, we meet again! How is your wife?"

When Mr. Liu heard this, he said, "I didn't know that Miss Shen was actually the Princess of Ruian County appointed by His Majesty himself! I was blind! It is unworthy for the Princess to call me Master Liu. If you don't mind, you can just call me Old Liu." Businessmen always have their own channels of information. In addition, people like Liu Jianye who can expand their business to all parts of the country are even more well-informed, so it is not surprising that he knows that the emperor personally appointed the Princess of Ruian County.

Shen Youyou thought again, I'm not familiar with him enough to call him "Old Liu"! Seeing that Liu Jianye was quite a bit older than her, she immediately called out again, "Brother Liu. I wonder how my sister-in-law is doing?" Although she was still very confident in her medical skills, she also wanted to know how Mrs. Liu was doing.

"My wife is doing well, thank you for your concern. A few days ago, I was thinking of asking me to send you a thank-you gift. I thought that such ordinary gold and silver would not be in your eyes, so I simply replaced them with the food and fodder that you need most now! Because the food and fodder I need is a bit large at the moment, it is a little difficult to collect, so it took me a few more days to prepare. That's why I came here today after collecting it all. The county lady asked me to do more good deeds, and I think that donating food and fodder to our military camp is a great kindness! What do you think, county lady?" It just so happened that the Qinglong Kingdom was ready to make a move recently. As the saying goes, food and fodder must be sent before the troops move! This shows the importance of food and fodder. If you ask Shen Youyou what she thinks, it is naturally a great kindness! However, the people who make the decisions in the military camp are her father and His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and it is not her turn as a little girl to have a say. So she wisely did not answer.

"Haha! I didn't expect that Brother Liu has such a broad mind! I really admire you!" Shen Duanfang took over the topic, "Since Brother Liu is so sincere in giving it to me, it would be too ungrateful if I don't accept it. I will respectfully accept it! Haha! On behalf of the brothers in the barracks, I thank Brother Liu!" Shen Duanfang decided the fate of this batch of food and grass in just a few words. Are you kidding? This batch of food and grass can feed the entire barracks for a month! Accept it, you must accept it! And you have to do it in a high-profile manner. It would be best if other wealthy families in the city could see it and donate food and grass! Shen Duanfang thought happily.

The imperial physicians standing by were stunned. He actually said, "My wife is fine!" Doesn't this mean that people can survive after being cut open? As long as they are treated properly! This really opened the door to a new and wonderful world for them! She is actually fine?! It was incredible! This Miss Shen was truly a deity! Could she be a fairy from heaven?! The imperial physicians were all imagining Shen Youyou's true identity.

"Haha! I'm going to tell Old Li! Let's see how I can slap him in the face this time!" Doctor Yang laughed and trotted to the wounded camp to find Doctor Li.
