Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 323: Huh? Envoy Liu!
Imperial Physician Yao suppressed his anger and said unhappily, "If it weren't for the fact that you, Lord Su, have begged me for your kindness over and over again, would I have come out to see you in private?"

Su He nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, thank you Imperial Doctor Su for giving me this honor."

Imperial Physician Yao asked, "When I went to diagnose that kid that day, did I tell him to buy some specific medicinal stones?"

"Did he go?"

"His physical condition can be serious or minor. If we don't take it seriously now, if he gets sick later, I won't be able to do anything!"

Seeing that what Imperial Physician Yao said was very serious, Su He was a little confused. Why did that kid hide his illness and avoid seeing a doctor?
Imperial Physician Yao snorted, "Since he doesn't even care about his own health, forget it. If anything happens in the future, don't look for me again!"

Su He hurriedly said, "Hey, don't worry, Master Su, I'll go and ask about the situation right away. Please calm down, maybe he is busy these days."

Imperial Physician Yao said coldly: "Let me see, I'm afraid you don't think highly of my medical skills."

Su Hanmei said quickly, "How could that be possible? Imperial Physician Yao, please calm down. Young Master Chen needs to take care of the Shuntian Newspaper and Shuntian Express business today. He is quite busy and may have forgotten."

"We'll go and warn him right away."

Ok?
The guy who lives in my humble abode is actually the owner of the two largest businesses in Gyeonggi Province?

Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you are so rich?
If I had known this earlier, I would have prescribed more expensive medicine.

Imperial Physician Yao said calmly, "Based on the benevolence of a doctor, I will go with you to have another look."

"Thanks to Imperial Doctor Yao."

……

Huaihua Hutong, inside Chen Ce’s courtyard.

Liu Wentai sighed and said with some regret: "It's not easy for him to be so optimistic at such a young age and suffering from such a disease."

Chen Ce was a little curious. Judging from Liu Wentai's tone, he didn't sound like a quack. At least he was much more reliable than that Imperial Physician Yao.

"Master Liu, I would like to ask, what is the level of medical skills of the doctors in your Imperial Hospital?"

"Is there a way to know the condition of the patient without having to observe, smell, ask or palpate, or just ask about the situation?"

Liu Wentai: “…”

"Isn't this a black sheep? Is such a person qualified to be a doctor? This is taking the patient's life as his own! We in the Imperial Hospital are the most skilled doctors in the Ming Dynasty. How could there be such a person who is just filling in the gap?"

Chen Ce even suspected that treating the emperor was not just Liu Wentai's job, but the responsibility of the entire Imperial Medical Bureau team. There were too many slackers in the team, which eventually led to problems in treating the emperor.

Especially for those scoundrels like Imperial Physician Yao, once there are more of them, it will affect Liu Wentai's judgment.

But Chen Ce just had this suspicion.

"Um, do you have a toilet here?" Liu Wentai covered his stomach with embarrassment and said, "I came in a hurry this morning and haven't used the toilet yet. Haha, sorry for making fun of me."

Chen Ce: “…”

Liu Wentai had just gone to the toilet when a few people appeared outside the courtyard. Chen Ce looked at them speechlessly. Why are they here again?

Imperial Physician Yao still looked down on others, but when he saw the medical box on the stone bench, his face suddenly changed and his anger was evident in his words.

This is a humiliation to myself!
He actually asked someone else to treat him? I am the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, and I came out of the palace to treat you, and you still despise me?
"Humph!"

Yao Li snorted heavily and said to Chen Ce, "Are you really looking for a charlatan to treat your illness?"

"Why? Don't you trust my medical skills?"

Su He looked embarrassed, but still explained: "Master Yao, don't be angry. Maybe Master Chen was unwell these two days, and you were busy, so he couldn't find you, so he temporarily found someone else, right, Master Chen?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, he took the initiative to come and see me."

Uh. Su He was even more embarrassed. Why don't you just take advantage of the situation? Didn't you see that Imperial Physician Yao's face turned black?
Isn't it obvious that you don't trust Imperial Physician Yao? Isn't it a slap in his face?
How could Chen Ce not know what Su He was thinking? He did it on purpose, otherwise they would come to disturb him again next time.

Yao Li waved his sleeves and said, "Nonsense!"

"The quack doctor treats you only for your money!"

Chen Ce thought to himself that you are the one who is really after my money.

"Uh, Master Yao, at least he took my pulse or something."

When Yao Li heard this, he was furious: "What do you mean? Do you think I don't know your condition because I didn't feel your pulse?"

Chen Ce was quite direct: "Yeah."

Uh-huh?!

Yao Li sneered and said, "I told you that this is not a serious illness. You can take some medicine to cure it. But if you don't follow my prescription, it may turn into a serious illness. I can't say for sure!"

"Where's the prescription I gave you? Did you go get the medicine?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, it's useless even if I catch him."

"Are you questioning me?" Yao Li said angrily. "Okay! Then I won't care! If you really get seriously ill in the future, don't ask me for help!"

Su He hurriedly stepped out to dissuade them.

Yao Li said, "Master Su, please stop trying to persuade me! This child is stubborn and will not treat him anymore. No one in the entire Imperial Hospital will treat him!"

"This……"

Su He and Su Hanmei were a little at a loss.

Yao Li was about to leave when he saw Liu Wentai, who was standing with his hands behind his back, staring at him indifferently.

"Ah? Liu, Envoy Liu."

"Your humble servant greets Envoy Liu!" Yao Li hurriedly bowed, wondering why Lord Liu was here?

hiss!
Could the medical box on the stone bench belong to Director Liu?
Liu Wentai's face turned pale, and he asked sinisterly, "Master Yao, you just asked about someone's symptoms and you dare to prescribe medicine for them?"

Imperial Physician Yao: "This, this..."

Liu Wentai asked, "How can you be sure that he doesn't have a serious illness? You can even cure tuberculosis? How come I don't know that there is such a master in my Imperial Hospital?"

What? Pulmonary... tuberculosis?!

Liu Wentai looked at Chen Ce again and asked, "Xiao Chen, you just asked me if there are any unqualified people in the Imperial Hospital. I am ashamed."

“So it really exists.”

Imperial Physician Yao's old body trembled slightly, it seemed as if he was being talked about...

"Also, what medicine did you prescribe for him? Why? Did you open a pharmacy outside the palace and deliberately prescribe some expensive medicine for people to get it?"

"Are you treating a patient or are you taking someone's life lightly? Where is your medical ethics?"

"Bastard thing!"

"Do you know that the emperor personally appointed me to treat his illness? You'd better give an explanation for what happened today when you go before the emperor!"

Imperial Physician Yao was frightened to death. He wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked at Liu Wentai tremblingly, swallowed his saliva, glanced at Chen Ce, and finally fixed his gaze on Su He.

Su He, you bastard! The emperor personally appointed the director of the Imperial Hospital to treat him, and you still begged me to come?
Are you trying to kill me on purpose?!
Su He was also a little confused now. What about the Imperial Hospital Director, what about the Emperor... How could a small clerk of the Honglu Temple like him have any contact with these people? !
