Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 108 - 109: Suspected Person from the Palace

Chapter 108: Chapter 109: Suspected Person from the Palace

Shao He understood his good intentions and explained, “I have evidence to prove my innocence, but I’m worried that by saving me, news of it might spread and implicate you.”

“That won’t happen. Imperial Doctor Lu would definitely not speak of your imprisonment; otherwise, it would be a confession of his own crimes.” Pei Huaian was never worried about this, confident that even if Imperial Doctor Lu dared to speak out, he would have ways to settle the matter.

Yan Ze, watching the two of them going back and forth, worriedly said, “Can the two of you ever finish? If it’s not you worrying about him, it’s him worrying about you. Just tell me a solution already!”

“What’s the rush?” Shao He asked in surprise.

“My parents’ hands are still swollen. Now, my mother dares not go out, and my father has to avoid others even when attending court.” Yan Ze spoke with great distress.

He had come specifically to ask if there was a way to resolve this, knowing full well that Doctor Shao definitely had the ability to do so.

At that moment, Shao He understood the situation. It seemed Yan Ze’s parents had also been affected. She simply said, “Just soak them in warm water frequently.”

“That’s it?” Yan Ze was somewhat incredulous and even doubted the credibility of her words.

Shao He shrugged her shoulders in resignation and turned to leave, saying, “If you don’t believe me, just forget it.”

“Why not give it a try and see?” Pei Huaian suggested kindly.

Yan Ze nodded, took a few steps, then turned back to ask, “Will this really work?”

“Yes,” Shao He affirmed once again.

“Thank you.” Only then did Yan Ze push Pei Huaian to leave.

Soon after they left, Yun Qian walked in from outside and said to Shao He, “There’s a woman outside who specifically wants you to see her for a consultation.”

“A woman?” Shao He frowned and stood up to walk towards the front hall.

As expected, he saw a woman dressed in a light purple gown sitting on a chair, wearing a veil over her face as if she did not want others to see her appearance.

No sooner had Shao He sat down than the woman asked imperiously, “How do you treat swollen hands?”

Shao He noticed her attire and demeanor, deducing she might be someone from the palace.

“There are many types of swollen hands. I need to know the cause to treat you, or you could let me see what it looks like,” Shao He replied by the book.

After hearing this, the woman fell silent for a while, then said coldly, “You just need to tell me how to treat it.”

“Sorry, I’m a doctor, and I must first confirm the diagnosis.”

“I’ve told you there’s no need for treatment; you just need to tell me the result,” the woman said, getting somewhat angry.

Shao He raised an eyebrow and remained firm, “If the lady insists, then I cannot treat you.”

Just as Shao He was about to get up and leave, the woman threw a porcelain bottle at her and went on, “My hands swelled up because I used this. Just find someone to apply it and test it.”

Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Shao He’s brow twitched slightly. She opened the bottle and sniffed. She knew this was the frostbite ointment made by Imperial Doctor Lu.

“Use mugwort to boil water, and then soak the swollen hands in it for a longer time. After three consecutive days, the swelling should reduce.”

“Are you telling the truth?” the woman asked doubtfully, seemingly incredulous that it could be so simple to reduce the swelling.

“Of course,” Shao He nodded, then added, “However, there’s one thing to pay attention to during the process.”

The woman immediately tensed up, asking urgently, “What’s that?”

“The water must be quickly reheated as it cools down; otherwise, not only will the desired effect not be achieved, it could even do more harm than good.”

After hearing her words, the woman’s concerns were fully alleviated, and she smiled, “I understand now.”

Shao He smiled back and then said, “Please wait a moment, lady. Let me write down a few herbal medicines to instruct the servants to prepare them for you to take back to your residence. This will make your hands heal faster.”

“Hmm,” the woman responded, not rejecting her offer.

“Please wait, lady,” Shao He said, turning back to the desk, picking up a brush, and quickly writing down several medicinal herbs.

After a while, Shao He handed the prescription to the woman, “Take these herbs three times a day, and after seven doses, you should be fully recovered. During this period, avoid cold water.”

The woman took the paper, glanced over it, then handed it to her maid behind her. She showed no intention of leaving but sized up Shao He, saying, “I’ve heard your medical skills are extremely good, healing not only Miss Jhiang’s infertility but also Princess Huimin’s face?”

“Indeed, I did heal both of them, but I wouldn’t say my medical skills are extremely good; I’ve just read more ancient medical texts, so naturally, I understand a bit more,” Shao He humbly replied.

The woman looked at her with disdain and said with contempt, “With your ability, you could heal such difficult and miscellaneous diseases? I think you must have received guidance from a master.”

Before Shao He could respond, the woman had already stood up and left. Watching the departing figure, Shao He felt something was off.

Yun Qian came to the distracted Shao He and asked, “What’s the matter? Were you troubled?”

Shao He shook her head, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and replied, “No.”

Yun Qian did not pry further but became concerned about today’s blood transfusion treatment, keen to know how she had achieved such a miraculous feat.

Shao He vaguely explained, and Yun Qian listened, perplexed. Many things were new to him, and as he looked at Shao He before him, he became increasingly convinced of her extraordinary abilities.
