Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Seeing a doctor is not easy!
In the end, Qi Yue still couldn’t stop Song Gensheng from going to the Capital City.
She had no choice but to hand over the pearls and tea leaves she had promised him and also made so calming pills with the Spiritual Spring Water.
“I included pearl powder in these pills for your nephew to take if he has trouble sleeping at night—he should feel better after a few doses. These pearls can be placed under his pillow or worn…”
Song Gensheng, looking at each gift and listening to Qi Yue’s instructions, suddenly cried like a child.
“Boohoo… Sister Yueyue, you are too good to , I can’t bear to leave you…”
Qi Yue joked, “Then stay, don’t go to the Capital City.”
“That won’t do, I need to go find the Great General Wang…”
See, all that talk about not being able to leave was a sham! Zhao Xiyan’s charm trumps hers!
Qi Yue didn’t try to keep him any longer and personally saw him off.
In the morning sunlight, they waved goodbye, Song Gensheng with a saber on one shoulder and a bundle on the other, striding away.
Sohow, Old Lady Zhang had appeared by her side.
“Miss, will you be conducting consultations today?”
Qi Yue glanced at the sky, noting the ti was a bit late, so she decided to extend the consultation hours.
“Yes.”
After all, she had already agreed to conduct morning consultations and it was not good to stop them on a whim.
Especially since she had beco a famous doctor known to every household in Longnan!
Old Lady Zhang quickly fetched an umbrella and held it for her personally.
Mistress and servant walked slowly toward the neighboring pharmacy.
The sick were already lined up in a long queue at the consultation desk.
When they saw Qi Yue arrive, they all started shouting.
“The Divine Doctor is here, the Divine Doctor is here!”
“Divine Doctor, my mother is very sick, please help us!”
“Divine Doctor, we ca from a town to the east, and it took us a Shichen to get here, could you please see first?”
“…”
So people, worried they would not be seen, kept pressing forward.
Qi Yue’s heart was inevitably shaken by these words.
They had co here, putting their trust in her, for her dical expertise.
They were worried that if she had a short consultation ti and had to leave afterwards, they would have co for nothing if their illnesses were not seen to.
So urgent cases might even be delayed.
But she couldn’t spend all day treating patients without feeling worn out herself, not to ntion that now, whenever she thought of the many treasures in her space, she felt like taking it easy.
Was there a simpler way?
A way they could get her prescriptions without taking up all her ti!
That’s right, in her previous life, drugstores sold readymade dicine!
An idea suddenly ford in her mind.
Open a dicine factory, mass-produce readymade dicine, and distribute them to pharmacies everywhere!
Yet, this would be a huge undertaking!
First, she had to train a group of dical staff.
No, she needed to collect a large number of case histories and, based on the constitution and dication habits of the people, prescribe formulations.
At the sa ti, she needed to train these young apprentices to get on track quickly!
Speaking of which, there were many pharmacies in Longnan County Governnt, but the so-called doctors recognized just a few herbs and knew a little about their properties before putting pen to paper to prescribe them, without having specific formulations for certain ailnts.
These people could also be incorporated into her dicine factory. When they were trained, they could continue to run pharmacies and also sell her dicine!
Prepared pill capsules, just needing clear labelling on the packaging regarding the illnesses they treat, would allow even those who didn’t know how to prescribe or diagnose, but could read, to know how to take their dication.
In doing so, not only could the people of Longnan have access to her dicine, but so could all of Beiyuan and even other countries.
Opening a pharmacy could only save the local people, but opening a dicine factory to distribute dicine all over the world could heal the masses!
It was a great undertaking that would benefit both the people and herself!
It was hard to believe she had never thought of this before!
With this in mind, she imdiately raised her hand to quiet the crowd.
“Folks, I arrived late today, but I will see everyone before I go ho, so no need to worry! Everyone will get a chance to be seen!”
“If anyone has an urgent illness, or has co from afar, please co to the front.”
After her soothing words, the villagers quickly and quietly ford a line.
Qi Yue first saw an old man who had a fever, then several patients from far away, and after that, she attended to the rest in the order they had queued.
As the news spread, the people from Longnan who heard that she would see everyone in line today, all those who were feeling unwell ca to join the queue.
She continued until it grew dark.
By the ti the pharmacy closed, she realized she had seen one hundred and fifty people.
Standing up from the chair, she imdiately felt a sore back and aching waist.
Being a doctor is not easy!
In her past life, it was exactly this relentless work that led to her death!
In fact, more than half of the patients she saw today could resolve their problems just by taking ready-made dicines.
So, the solution is still to open a pharmaceutical factory! To make dicines!
But this must be done gradually, after all, one can’t get fat with just one mouthful.
Starting tomorrow, she would still see patients in the morning, study cases in the afternoon, create prescriptions, and train apprentices in between…
Qi Yue pondered this all the way until she reached her residence.
Suddenly, she rembered the person who had been following her had not shown up today, and she involuntarily glanced around.
That gaze was not there.
Was that person really protecting her, and now that the trouble had been taken care of, he had disappeared?
But why?
They didn’t even know each other!
Just as she was pondering this, she suddenly saw a figure approaching swiftly in the night.
The person had a tall and slender figure, moving with a majestic gait, as if even the dust in the air was stirred up by his presence.
Qi Yue felt as if the person’s way of walking was very similar to soone she knew, but she quickly dismissed the thought.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
That person was now the Great General, revered by thousands, worshiped by all officials, and likely already got his wish, living happily with Lady Bai Shao. How could he possibly co here?
With a sigh, she turned and entered her residence.
Nanny Zhang had been following behind her all this ti, and hearing Qi Yue sigh, she couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, are you looking for the person from last night?”
Qi Yue was montarily startled, “I was just wondering who would bother to ddle so much?”
“Could it be a friend or a relative of the miss?”
“I have no father, no mother, no siblings, and certainly no friends.”
“Oh, then I’m curious too.”
“Nanny Zhang, when will there be another auction at the undercover market? Let’s go early and sell the finished dicated pills!”
“I will go inquire about it tomorrow, and also find out the specific process.”
“Thank you, Nanny Zhang. That’s very kind of you.”
“You’re too polite, Miss!”
“We must not take lightly the person we encountered at the undercover market last ti. If he finds his way here, we could be in for quite a situation.”
“It’s all my fault for bringing trouble to the miss.”
“You’ve helped so much; it’s only right that I help you. If that person does co knocking, you needn’t worry, I have ways to handle him.”
“Yes, thank you, Miss.”
Throughout, Qi Yue never asked Nanny Zhang why she bore such animosity towards that man.
To her, everyone has secrets, and she has her own.
As long as it doesn’t harm her, those secrets have nothing to do with her.
The two of them carried lanterns, chatting as they walked through the front courtyard, crossed the hall, climbed up the veranda, and headed to the back yard.
No one noticed the person standing on the eaves, just watching the two figures disappearing into the distance.
In the darkness, his expression was indifferent, his lips tightly pursed, as though he was angry.
