After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was determined not to return to the mansion, Madam Dong could only stay close to her side, fearing that something else might happen.

"Master, shall we return to the manor or follow the divine physician?"

Yan Xiao looked up at her master, and felt even more eager to follow the divine physician.

For more than half a year, I followed my master on his journey to seek medical treatment, but all the so-called skilled doctors we found were helpless in treating my master's illness.

The legendary doctor is elusive and has disappeared for over a decade; finding him is no easy task.

According to the secret guards left behind in the capital, incidents are frequent in the capital. Many policies that the emperor issued before leaving the capital to benefit the people have been ruined by the emperor and some ministers in the court, and the reserved funds have been spent.

Another snow disaster struck, with heavy snow falling continuously since the beginning of winter, making life even more miserable for the people.

They traveled south to seek medical help, and at the same time, they conducted undercover investigations to observe the local conditions. As they traveled and investigated, they unexpectedly uncovered a shocking case.

During the summer, a once-in-a-century flood struck the Jiangnan region. The emperor allocated one million dan of rice and eight million taels of silver for disaster relief. The local prefect reported that the flood had been resolved.

After the master finished dealing with matters in the capital, he took them south to seek medical treatment, making a special trip through the Jiangnan region to observe the people's conditions and opinions.

Unexpectedly, the people suffered greatly. After conducting undercover investigations, many ordinary people said that many people died in the summer flood and that they did not receive any silver from the imperial court, only a small bag of coarse grains from each household.

Besides dying from floods, many more people died from post-disaster diseases and hunger.

The emperor was furious and, disregarding his increasingly serious illness, went straight back to the capital to deal with matters of state.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to Beijing, he bumped into a girl riding a donkey.

Originally, I didn't have much hope, but the pills she gave me actually suppressed my master's illness.

Yan Xiao was overjoyed that the illness had not recurred in the past two days.

Seeing that the pills given to his master would only last a few days, and just as he was about to go and find the whereabouts of that divine physician, she herself delivered herself to his doorstep.

"Go home."

"But......"

Yan Xiao was somewhat troubled, knowing that her master was in a hurry to return to the manor to thoroughly investigate the case of embezzlement of funds for disaster relief during the summer floods in the south, but no matter how urgent it was, her health was more important.

"No need to worry."

After speaking, Murong Xun glanced meaningfully at the other party's carriage, then turned and left.

Yan Xiao looked puzzled, as if her master already knew the identity of the divine doctor.

Did they send someone else to investigate behind the scenes?

In any case, their master has his own arrangements; they only need to follow orders.

"My son, wake up! Help! Quickly find a doctor to save my son!"

As Xue Ruanruan approached, she saw an elderly man with gray hair holding a young man covered in blood in his arms, crying his heart out.

She turned and ordered her maid to fetch the medicine box from the carriage, then walked through the crowd and stopped in front of the young man.

"I am a doctor, and I can help your illness, young master."

The old man looked up at the sound and saw an ordinary-looking girl standing in front of him, looking down at him and his son.

"You...you are a woman."

The old man's words were full of skepticism, after all, there were hardly any female doctors in the entire Chu-Qin Kingdom.

Even if they did, they rarely treated ordinary people; they were mostly dedicated to treating the ladies of the palace and the wives and daughters of officials.

“Who says women can’t be doctors? Besides, if you hesitate any longer, the young master’s severed limb will not be able to be reattached.”

Xue Ruanruan glanced at the young man on the ground who had fainted due to excessive blood loss and frowned.

"My son's severed limb can be reattached?!"

The old man stared in shock at the girl who had appeared out of nowhere, unable to believe it.

Apart from the renowned physician Ling Xuzi, no other doctor has ever been known to be able to reattach a severed limb; even the imperial physicians in the palace could not do it.

Unfortunately, the legendary doctor is elusive and has not appeared in public for over a decade.

Even when they do appear, they are mostly in the border regions. The news that the miracle doctor could set severed limbs came from Xue's army.

Merchants like them would never even dream of finding a miracle doctor.

Others may not know, but I can.

The limb reattachment technique is a secret art passed down from the patriarch of Medicine King Valley. Apart from the master and his disciple, no one else is known to know how to perform it.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately became noisy.

"A severed limb can actually be reattached? I've lived for decades and have never heard of a severed limb being reattached."

"That's right, I've never heard of her either. Who is this woman? She's really talking big."

"If the severed limb could be reattached and continue to grow, my nephew wouldn't be missing a leg."

"Listen to this woman's boasting. Even the imperial physicians in the capital couldn't cure her. Otherwise, the First Prince's leg wouldn't have become a cripple because it couldn't be cured."

"Keep your voice down, those words could get you killed, don't drag us into this."

"Exactly, how dare they spill everything? Is it any of our business to interfere in the affairs of the prince?"

"Stop arguing. Back then, wasn't there a rumor that the miracle doctor could set severed limbs? The news came from Xue's army, so it's highly credible."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "I've actually heard of people who can reattach severed limbs more than ten years ago!"

"The miracle doctor has been gone for more than a decade. Even if there really is a limb reattachment technique, it may have been lost."

......

The crowd gathered around the old man and his son, discussing the matter.

"I......"

After hearing this, the old man began to hesitate. He had initially had some doubts about Xue Ruanruan, but his attitude gradually softened.

"You only have half an incense stick's time; after that, even a god couldn't save you."

"Alright! Then I will do as you say, young lady. Please help save my son. Even if his limbs cannot be reattached, I will be eternally grateful as long as he can be saved."

The old man made up his mind and agreed without hesitation, knowing that he had no other choice.

The blood flowing from Huan'er's body stained the ground; if she wasn't treated soon, she might not even survive.

Just then, Dong's maid arrived, panting, carrying a heavy medicine box.

Xue Ruanruan took the medicine box and took out two thin silver needles, inserting them into the unconscious man's Xuehai and Sanyinjiao acupoints.

The movements were fluid and skillful, as if he had done it a thousand times.

Soon, the bleeding from the young man's body stopped, but this was only the first step. The subsequent limb reattachment and suturing were the most important tasks.

"This place is crowded and dirty, which is not good for your young master's condition. The owner needs to prepare a clean room for the reattachment of the severed limb."

The old man was somewhat troubled after hearing this. Although the shop was large, it did not have a clean and hygienic room for setting up severed limbs. His home was in the west of the city, which was quite a distance from the market.

Fearing that the distance was too far and would delay the female doctor from treating her son, he was so anxious in the dead of winter that he was covered in sweat.

"I have a separate courtyard here; you may go there."

A man's clear, deep voice came through.

Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man in a black brocade robe standing behind them.
