The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Liu Ligen almost spat out a mouthful of blood; this was simply outrageous.

"One hundred taels? How dare you ask for that, you brat!" Liu Erya stared at Fang Qingyou with wide eyes. She had heard that Fang Qingyou knew medicine and was supposedly the apprentice of some kind of divine doctor, but she didn't believe such nonsense. Instead, she felt that Fang Qingyou was just toying with them to vent her anger.

"If you want to treat them, then treat them; if you don't want to, then forget it. Miss Fang is kind, that's why she only asked for one hundred taels of silver. If it were me, even if you brought me a mountain of gold, I wouldn't treat your family!" Green Field said angrily, taking a few steps over and pulling Fang Qingyou away, saying, "Miss Fang, let's go."

Just then, Zhang the matchmaker came running, wailing as she ran: "Father, Er Ya, something terrible has happened! Yuanbao seems to have had epilepsy, he keeps convulsing. We must find another doctor quickly, or he might not survive."

Liu Ligen and Liu Erya's expressions changed drastically. Wasn't Yuanbao running a fever? Now it sounded like he was going to die.

As Zhang the matchmaker was crying loudly, she suddenly noticed Fang Qingyou standing to the side and remembered that Fang Qingyou also knew medicine and that she was the one who had invited her.

Therefore, as if she had seen a savior, Zhang the matchmaker immediately rushed towards Fang Qingyou with tears streaming down her face: "Fang girl, please go and save my Yuanbao!"

Seeing this, Liu Ligen quickly grabbed Zhang the matchmaker: "Don't go to her, that girl is heartless, she actually wants a hundred taels for a consultation!"

Matchmaker Zhang was stunned: "Fang girl, that's not right. You only charge a few coins for treating other people's illnesses, or even treat them for free. Why are you asking me for a hundred taels of silver!"

Fang Qingyou didn't explain much, only saying calmly, "This is my rule for making house calls."

She can cure Yuanbao, but she won't let Zhang the matchmaker and her gang have it too easy.

"If you want Miss Fang to treat you, you'll have to pay one hundred taels, not a penny less!" Seeing Zhang the matchmaker, Lüye felt angry: "You just gave that old geezer ten taels of silver for his consultation. With Miss Fang's medical skills, charging one hundred taels is already a bargain for you. If you're willing to treat her, then hurry up. If you're not, then we're leaving."

Liu Ligen wanted Fang Qingyou to treat Yuanbao. His family had only had one son for generations, and he couldn't let anything happen to his grandson. So he looked at her and asked, "Fang girl, if you can't cure him, will you refuse to take him on...?"

Before Liu Ligen could finish speaking, he was ripped behind Zhang the matchmaker.

Matchmaker Zhang glared at Fang Qingyou through gritted teeth: "Fang girl, go ahead and cure him. If you can cure my Yuanbao, I'll give you this hundred taels!"

Only then did Fang Qingyou ask calmly, "Where is the patient?"

"This way." Matchmaker Zhang quickly led the way for Fang Qingyou.

Watching the group's retreating figures, Liu Ligen said anxiously, "That woman, why didn't she ask clearly before letting this girl handle the gold ingot? It's a hundred taels!"

Liu Erya kicked Liu Ligen again: "Brother, is treating Yuanbao more important or the money? If we delay any longer, and something really happens to Yuanbao, let's see how you cry then!"

After giving Liu Ligen a good scolding, Liu Erya hurriedly followed.

Liu Ligen pursed his lips, ultimately saying nothing more, and followed after Liu Erya.

Yuanbao suddenly developed a high fever at night because he had roseola.

Roseola infantum is most common in infants under two years old. If a seven or eight-year-old child like Yuanbao has a fever, it is generally difficult for doctors to determine whether it is a common fever or roseola infantum.

Therefore, Zhang the matchmaker's family and Liu Zhuzi all treated his condition as a common fever.

The Zhang family used liquor to rapidly cool Yuanbao down, and Liu Zhuzi only focused on purging the heat from the skin's surface. This caused Yuanbao to suffer from alcohol poisoning, and a huge difference between his surface temperature and internal temperature emerged. This difference exceeded his body's tolerance limit, causing him to experience acute febrile seizures.

When Fang Qingyou came in, Yuanbao was having convulsive spasms all over his body, and his eyes were rolled upwards so that his eyeballs were no longer visible. The situation looked extremely frightening.

Fang Qingyou first suppressed Yuanbao's high fever and convulsions, then soaked him in a warm bucket of water before starting to drain the alcohol and body heat accumulated in his body.

Not long after, Yuanbao regained consciousness, but after all that commotion, the child didn't have much energy left.

“Yuanbao has roseola infantum, not a regular fever. Remember not to try to reduce the fever blindly. When the fever returns, wipe the child's body with lukewarm water. Absolutely do not use alcohol. Also, make sure to give the child plenty of lukewarm water to drink. After three to five days, once the rash appears, the fever will subside naturally. After another three to five days, once the rash has completely faded, he will be fully recovered. A significant sign of a sudden high fever in a child is a sudden flushing of the face…” Fang Qingyou explained Yuanbao's condition in detail to the Zhang matchmaker's family.

Upon hearing that the treatment method was so simple, Zhang the matchmaker and her family couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief.

Liu Erya asked with a gloomy face, "You brat, do you even know how to cure diseases?"

Before Fang Qingyou could say anything, Lüye glared coldly at Liu Erya and said, "Do you think Miss Fang knows how to treat illnesses? If she didn't, would this kid still be lying here in good health?"

With Green Field standing there, Zhang the matchmaker didn't dare to be too presumptuous: "Young lady, will Yuanbao be fine just by wiping his body?"

“Yes.” Fang Qingyou nodded: “If you do as I say, there won’t be any problems. If Yuanbao shows any abnormalities in the next three to five days, just come and find me again.”

Matchmaker Zhang was about to agree, but before she could speak, she heard Green Field say coldly, "Next time you come to see Miss Fang, remember to bring another hundred taels of silver!"

Zhang the matchmaker's face immediately darkened, but Green Field's next words made her face turn even darker: "Now that the person is cured, bring over the hundred taels of medical fee immediately!"

Looking at the hand that Green Field stretched out in front of her, Zhang the matchmaker really wanted to play dead.

However, Green Field wouldn't let her get away with it. When she asked for money, she used her other hand to tap the exposed hilt of the Jade Pine Sword at his waist.

He looked like he'd chop someone up if they didn't give him money.

Seeing this, Matchmaker Zhang quickly looked at Fang Qingyou with pleading eyes: "Little Fang, do you think you could..."

"No! Give me the money, now!" Green Field's face grew even colder, and he stretched his hand out towards Zhang the matchmaker again.

Liu Erya was unwilling, but seeing Lüye's appearance, he dared not say anything more.
