Chapter 510: Invitation
Chapter 510: Invitation
Empress Dowager Yuan's mind moved, she looked up, and became somewhat interested.
"This Doctor Yun's medical skills are really so great, I'm afraid General Shen is exaggerating on purpose, right?"
Nanny An lowered her head and said graciously, "I also heard about it this morning, but today the news has spread all over the palace. Many wives of ministers have come to visit us in person, hoping to ask Doctor Yun to treat their family members!"
Empress Dowager Yuan glanced at her, lay down on the couch on her side, and slowly closed her eyes.
"I am tired. Send someone out to inquire more. If Doctor Yun's medical skills are really so superb, you can send someone to invite Doctor Yun to the palace in my name."
"Remember, don't offend anyone!"
Nanny An responded respectfully and took out a blanket to cover Empress Dowager Yuan. "Yes, I obey your command."
After Shen Xiangming spread the news of Ji Yuntang's superb medical skills according to Ji Yuntang's instructions, several ladies came to see her that day.
In a short while, nearly ten people were sitting in the reception room of the General's Mansion.
Ji Yuntang knew that her reputation had already spread, and now all she had to do was to prove her "excellent medical skills".
Therefore, she almost never turned away anyone who came to see her for treatment, and she prescribed medicine for everyone.
Fortunately, before coming to Western Shu, Ji Yuntang had already used charcoal powder to darken his skin and changed his makeup.
Now it seems that she is completely different from the previous Ji Yuntang.
Xie Liuzheng stood in front of her, but she didn't recognize him at first.
After curing a large number of patients, Ji Yuntang's reputation in the capital became even more famous.
Her professional theoretical knowledge and incisive arguments convinced the ladies who came to see her for treatment.
Without asking any questions, just by taking their pulse, Ji Yuntang could tell them all their problems and medical history.
That afternoon, Nanny An left the palace and took a carriage to the General's Mansion.
The person who went out to greet her was Madam Mo. Madam Mo probably guessed her purpose, but she still asked: "I wonder what brings Madam An to the General's Mansion?"
Nanny An bowed to Madam Mo and said with a smile, "I came to the General's Mansion today to invite Doctor Yun on the orders of the Empress Dowager. Is she here?"
Madam Mo's brows twisted slightly. As expected, Empress Dowager Yuan had set her sights on Doctor Yun. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
She thought about it and felt that Ji Yuntang had to make the decision himself, so she said, "Doctor Yun is resting in the guest room. Madam, please sit here for a while. I will go and ask her to come over."
Nanny An said, "Thank you, General's wife!"
Ji Yuntang didn't arrive quickly. She rested in the room for a long time before slowly coming to the front yard.
Nanny An felt a little uncomfortable. How dare Yuntang, a mere barefoot doctor from the folk, make her wait so long? This was really unreasonable.
However, thinking of Empress Dowager Yuan's instructions, Nanny An suppressed her anger, stood up and walked in front of Ji Yuntang.
She raised her face with what she thought was a friendly smile, "I guess this girl is Doctor Yun?"
Ji Yuntang nodded and looked at her in surprise. "It's me, but I'm resting today and won't treat anyone. Please come back tomorrow, Auntie!"
Nanny An felt more and more that Ji Yuntang was unruly.
She was a favorite of Empress Dowager Yuan, and no one had ever dared to call her "Auntie" in front of her.
Although she was angry, Nanny An still had a smile on her face.
"Doctor Yun has misunderstood. It is not this servant who wants to be cured."
Ji Yuntang asked in confusion: "Oh? If it's not you, then who is it?"
Nanny An replied, "I am here on the orders of our Queen Mother to invite Doctor Yun to the palace to take her pulse."
Ji Yuntang's eyes widened instantly when she heard this. She pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Did I hear it right? The Queen Mother asked me to come to the palace to treat her illness?"
Nanny An looked down on us in her heart, but she said, "You heard it right. It was our Empress Dowager who sent me to invite you."
"The palace carriage is waiting outside. If you have nothing else to do, Doctor Yun, please come with me now."
Ji Yuntang looked embarrassed and hesitant, "But, I have never been to the palace since I was a child. I am afraid that if I say something wrong and offend the Queen Mother, she will chop off my head in anger. What should I do?"
Nanny An smiled and said, "Doctor Yun, don't worry about this. Our Queen Mother is kind-hearted and tolerant. She is well-known for her generosity in the palace. She will not kill Doctor Yun, let alone send someone to chop off your head."
Ji Yuntang was waiting for her to say this, and she immediately said, "You said this, and so many people in the general's mansion heard it. You must be responsible for what you said."
"I am just an ordinary person. I usually speak directly and don't know any rules. If I accidentally say something wrong in front of Empress Dowager Yuan, you have to help me out."
Nanny An looked down on Ji Yuntang even more. What an uneducated little girl she was. She actually yelled in front of her and had so many people come as witnesses.
She doesn't feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed!
However, the task that Empress Dowager Yuan assigned to Nanny An today was to bring Ji Yuntang into the palace.
So now, she has to accept any request from the other party.
"Don't worry, Doctor Yun. If this situation really happens, I will help you explain it to the Queen Mother."
Ji Yuntang nodded, "That's more like it. Since you've come to invite me personally, I'll make an exception and go with you!"
As she walked out, she kept muttering to Nanny An, "You don't know, I've been a doctor for eight years, and I only treat ten patients a day at most. I won't treat more than one, no matter how rich the patient is."
"If it weren't for the Queen Mother, I wouldn't have taken this job. I'm really making an exception for her this time!"
Nanny An glanced at her and asked tentatively: "Doctor Yun looks young, but I didn't expect you have been practicing medicine for eight years. I wonder who your master is?"
Ji Yuntang lowered his eyes, with a sad look on his face, "Master is just an ordinary old man. He passed away a few years ago."
She obviously didn't want to say more, so Nanny An didn't ask any more questions.
Before getting on the carriage, Xie Liuzheng chased out and said, "Sister Yuntang, I asked someone to make your favorite spicy chicken and sweet and sour pork. Your sister-in-law and I will wait for you to come back tonight and have dinner together."
Ji Yuntang knew very well that Xie Liuzheng's words were a disguised warning to Nanny An, asking them not to make things difficult for her and to send her back safely at night.
