Chapter 215: Medical Consultation
Chapter 215: Medical Consultation
While the two were discussing this in private, the doctor came for a follow-up appointment today.
Upon hearing this news, Princess Lin'an quickly tidied herself up and, with the help of her maid, met the guest.
"Princess of Lin'an," the doctor bowed.
Princess Lin'an gestured to him that there was no need for such formalities, since she was still troubled by the scar on her face, as she was not the doctor.
"This time, we owe it all to your excellent medical skills." With that, Princess Lin'an waved her hand, and the maid, knowing what she meant, took out a reward for the doctor.
The doctor looked terrified and dared not take the medicine.
Princess Lin'an covered her mouth and chuckled, "No need to be polite, this is what you deserve, I should thank you."
If it weren't for this doctor, she would have had trouble getting married in the future.
Seeing this, the doctor smiled slightly and said, "Then I thank you, Princess."
On one side, the two were exchanging pleasantries, while on the other side, in the Duke of Jin's mansion, Sun Jiayi paced back and forth. Just as she put her hands to her face, she remembered something and stomped her feet in frustration.
My face is really uncomfortable, it hurts and itches, but after so many days my face hasn't gotten any better.
The Duke of Jin also sent many people to find doctors for her, but none of those quacks could do anything.
She was in so much pain that she dared not even touch herself. Looking at her disfigured self in the mirror all day long, she felt like she was going crazy.
But then she thought of Luo Lan's fate and felt a little lucky.
She shouted at the maid, "Has there not been a single useful doctor all these days? There are so many medical clinics in the capital, how come not a single one is effective!"
The two maids looked at each other and finally decided to tell her about Princess Lin'an.
“Miss, I heard that Princess Lin’an has found a doctor these days. He prescribed medicine for her, and the people in the princess’s mansion say that she is much better.”
The maid spoke as she helped her sit down.
Sun Jiayi suddenly turned her head, grabbed her sleeves with both hands, and excitedly asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
She gripped the maid's sleeves tightly with both hands, her eyes suddenly filled with a glimmer of hope.
Seeing her like this, the maid was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
Sun Jiayi opened her mouth wide and grinned, then hurriedly said, "Quick, go and invite that doctor. We must get him to come to our residence no matter what."
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up, pushed the maid out, and could hardly contain her joy.
Princess Lin'an has the same illness as her. If the other girl can get her face healed, then her illness can be cured.
……
The next day, urged by Sun Jiayi, the servants finally found out where the doctor's clinic was located.
After they found the person, they hurriedly invited the doctor to the Duke of Jin's residence.
The doctor glanced at the signboard, wiped away his cold sweat, and thought to himself: Lately, all the patients I see are high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Their illnesses are difficult to treat, and they risk losing their lives.
While the doctor was secretly grumbling to himself, Sun Jiayi couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out.
The pain in her face these past few days has kept her from getting a good night's sleep, and she has even contemplated suicide several times in the dead of night when no one is around.
She never realized before how long the night could be, so long that she could remember exactly how long the pain on her face lasted.
Sun Jiayi silently touched her face, her eyes almost overflowing with expectation.
She could even see herself regaining her beauty.
Before she knew it, while she was still in a daze, the doctor had already knelt in front of her and called her name several times.
"Miss Sun? Miss Sun?"
The doctor was surprised. Had this Miss Sun gone mad? She hadn't said a word after he was summoned in.
Sun Jiayi was startled and suddenly looked at the doctor kneeling on the ground, her heart filled with joy.
She pulled the doctor to his feet and hurriedly asked, "Doctor, you're here! Get up quickly."
As she spoke, she asked a maid to bring him a chair to sit down.
The doctor took out his medical kit, took out all the necessary medical supplies, and asked softly, "Ms. Sun, where do you feel unwell?"
Sun Jiayi was wearing a veil today. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I was injured on my face for some reason before."
The doctor nodded and said, "Miss Sun, would you mind taking it off so I can have a look?"
Normally, Sun Jiayi definitely wouldn't have taken it off; she might even have cursed loudly, saying how could such a boorish person be worthy of looking at her face.
But now that she's in this state, what's the point of whether or not to look at her?
She didn't know how many mirrors she looked in before she saw herself like this.
At that time, she didn't even dare to leave the house, for fear that others would see her terrifying face.
Since her disfigurement, she has never stopped regretting it, regretting that she and Princess Lin'an came up with the idea together.
Sun Jiayi nodded and removed her veil.
"Doctor, can you take a look and tell me what's wrong?"
The doctor looked at the face from all sides and, based on his experience, could tell that it was caused by poisoning.
In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly remembered that the Princess of Lin'an he had read about a few days ago was also like that.
He hurriedly asked, "Miss Sun, is your face both sore and itchy?"
Sun Jiayi nodded vigorously, thinking to herself: This person is truly a miracle doctor; she knew his symptoms before she even spoke.
Now she felt even more that the doctor was trustworthy.
When the maid first told her, she thought it was a false rumor spread by the Princess of Lin'an, but after seeing it today, she realized it was indeed true.
The doctor asked a few more questions, and the answers were all affirmative.
Asking this question gave Sun Jiayi even more confidence that he could cure her.
After a brief examination, the doctor bowed to Sun Jiayi and said, "I am aware of Miss Sun's symptoms. I need to go back and study the prescription now."
When Sun Jiayi heard him say that, she wanted to ask him a few more questions, such as what kind of illness it was, whether it could be completely cured, and how long it would take to recover.
But when I heard him say that he was going back to study the prescription, I was moved.
Since the doctor said so, he should still be able to find a way to treat it.
She asked excitedly, "Doctor, is there any hope for me?"
The doctor nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Miss can still be saved, but I don't have any medicine to treat her right now, so I have to go back and study the prescription based on Miss's condition. I will give it to Miss once the prescription is ready."
Sun Jiayi expressed her gratitude repeatedly. If she weren't a young lady from the Duke of Jin's mansion, she could jump three meters high by now.
She's saved!
She can be cured, and those people won't have to keep bringing up her disfigured face every day anymore.
People won't always say she can't get married. If she can return to her original appearance, plus her family's status, and her father is the Duke of Jin, how could she not get married?
At that time, countless princes and nobles wanted to marry her.
To express her gratitude, Sun Jiayi quickly suppressed her excitement and had her maid give the doctor a silver ingot.
Then, he personally got up and saw the person out, showing the doctor the utmost courtesy and respect.
After leaving the mansion, the doctor walked a short distance, then looked left and right before turning in the opposite direction and hurriedly arriving at the place where he had agreed to meet Wanxia.
