Su Yuanyuan beamed with a big smile, looking around at the on - looking commoners. "Today's free medical consultation. For anyone who is ill and needs medicine, I'll cover all the costs until you're fully recovered. Auntie, you don't need to worry about the follow - up medicine. Just focus on your treatment."
Hearing this, the woman wiped away her tears while saying that Su Yuanyuan was a Bodhisattva and a goddess. At last, she asked, "May I know your name, doctor? You've saved my life. Once I've recovered, I'll surely go to the City God Temple and donate some incense money for you and pray for your well - being."
Su Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She clearly said to the woman, "My name is Yun Jian. Yun as in the white cloud, and Jian as in admonish."
After that, the woman was helped into Huichun Hall by Caiyun and Chunxiao to take a short rest. Meanwhile, Su Yuanyuan lowered her head and started writing a prescription for the woman on the paper.
Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica sinensis, Poria cocos...
Suddenly, there came a chaotic sound of footsteps and quarrels from around. When Su Yuanyuan looked up again, her booth was no longer deserted as before. Just like the booth of Doctor Li next door, it was lined with people.
Su Yuanyuan caught Doctor Li's eye. The doctor stroked his goatee and nodded slightly at her, then continued to feel the pulse of the patient in front of him.
Su Yuanyuan finished writing the prescription for the woman and handed it to the pharmacy assistant. Then she said to the person sitting in front of her, "Please give me your hand. How have you been feeling lately? How long have you had these symptoms?"
To train herself, this time Su Yuanyuan specifically asked Xiaoba to turn off the prompts. First, she made a diagnosis in her mind based on the pulse, facial appearance, and the patient's self - description.
Although there were no prompts from Xiaoba, the knowledge from the medical books she had read was stored in her mind. After a little thought, she was able to confirm the illness. However, since she had seen too few patients, she couldn't be as quick as Doctor Li next door in making a diagnosis.
After making a judgment in her mind, Su Yuanyuan would ask Xiaoba to repeat the diagnosis to see if she was right.
She took this rare opportunity to teach herself hard.
Before she knew it, she felt a bit of chill on her face. She looked up at the sky and was surprised to find that it was snowing today.
To prevent the waiting commoners from catching a cold, Su Yuanyuan tried to speed up her diagnosis.
Except for the woman who suddenly fainted before, the commoners waiting in line for Su Yuanyuan's free consultation mostly had minor ailments, which were not very troublesome. Therefore, she earned very few points.
Even so, Su Yuanyuan was satisfied.
Whenever someone asked for her name, Su Yuanyuan would tell them that her name was "Yun Jian". Before she knew it, the news that there was a kind - hearted doctor named "Yun Jian" in Shengjing City began to spread among the commoners.
Su Yuanyuan was concentrating on feeling the patients' pulses. The whole scene of her generously providing free medical consultations for the city's commoners was witnessed by a pair of light - colored eyes not far away.
Cang Xuan stood there, looking at the young girl diagnosing others in the shed from afar.
Whenever Su Yuanyuan's diagnosis matched Xiaoba's, her eyebrows would relax. Even through the veil, one could tell that she must be smiling proudly.
Whether she was providing free medical consultations or playing the zither, the young girl was always so dazzling, like a bright and lively flame, attracting people to rush towards her without hesitation.
The pent - up hostility and killing intent in his heart gradually subsided with the young girl's every frown and smile.
She said that there was an aura of death around his eyebrows. That was because he had come with the intention of perishing together with the emperor and the Wang family. If she hadn't appeared, one day he would have ended up massacring the entire Wang family and killing the emperor. By then, not only the people of the world but also the heavens would not tolerate him. Death would be his best destination.
But for her, he couldn't do that.
With a pair of eyes that could see the aura of fortune, the ability to communicate with birds and beasts, and a medical skill that could bring the dying back to life, such a girl was enough to make people all over the world flock to her. But what was even more enviable was her fate in this life - being reborn after death, born with the fate of a phoenix, and obtaining it would bring great honor.
For her, he had to stand in that position rightfully.
Xiao Ce couldn't protect Shu Moyun, but he, Yun Jian, could!
Stepping out of the shadows, Cang Xuan walked step by step towards the young girl in the free - consultation booth.
The young girl seemed to sense something. She turned her head and looked in his direction. Her eyes lit up, as if she was very surprised to see him here.
The commoners in the city also noticed Cang Xuan's arrival. Perhaps they had heard too many rumors about his being a ruthless killer, a manipulator of power, and a scourge to the court. They were naturally afraid of him. When they saw him coming, they couldn't help but take a big step back, leaving a space.
Some commoners timidly whispered a reminder to Su Yuanyuan, "Doctor Yun Jian, this is a fiend. If he takes a dislike to you, he'll kill you. Run away quickly."
Su Yuanyuan frowned slightly. She put down the pen in her hand, got up, lifted her skirt, and took the initiative to greet him. She called out crisply, "Brother Yun Jian, why did you come here?"
Hearing her call Cang Xuan "Yun Jian", the on - looking commoners were all shocked.
"Why does she call him Yun Jian? Isn't that her name?"
"You're so stupid. This woman must be trying to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the name of Prince Cang. He is Yun Jian!"
"Is there such a thing? Nowadays, young ladies are so eager to chase their lovers?"
"By the way, do you still remember that some time ago, Prince Cang was entangled with a woman in a brothel and then abandoned her? This must be his unmarried fiancée!"
Cang Xuan had excellent hearing. Naturally, he heard what the commoners were talking about later. Understanding her intention of practicing medicine in his name, his heart was filled with tenderness. He reached out his hand and gently supported the young girl. He said,
"Princess Fubao truly lives up to the title bestowed by the emperor. She even sets up a booth for free medical consultations in the city. It's a blessing for the Great Chu to have a kind - hearted woman like the princess."
Su Yuanyuan had always been wearing a veil, so the commoners didn't know her identity. After being exposed, there was another round of discussion at the scene.
Most of them were exclaiming that the one practicing medicine here today was actually the daughter of General Su Qing, the adopted daughter of the emperor, Princess Fubao. As the saying goes, like father, like daughter. Princess Fubao also loved the commoners just like General Su.
"Brother Yun Jian, I'm trying to build your reputation. Why did you expose me instead?" Su Yuanyuan murmured to Cang Xuan in a low voice after hearing the surrounding discussions.
In front of everyone, Cang Xuan held her hand and led her towards the booth in front. "Aren't you providing free consultations? Don't keep everyone waiting."
Su Yuanyuan looked at their clasped hands and listened to the gasps around her. Her ears turned red, and she followed his steps.
