“Wait a minute.” Shen Yijia interrupted him loudly. “I… This is an old prescription, do you understand? This is called fighting poison with poison. If I prescribe other medicine at this time, you won’t be able to get the ingredients in Xunyang City.”
“Besides, I’m a good citizen. How can I harm the officials? Wouldn’t I be cut into pieces by you?”
After she finished speaking, she finally muttered, “I want to live for a few more decades.”
The corners of Eunuch Li’s mouth twitched. He didn’t even dare to think about living for a few more decades.
Zhou Qing glanced at Lord Zhou, who was unconscious on the bed. He closed his eyes and compromised.
He did not forget to threaten, “If anything happens to my lord, you quack, prepare to pay with your life.”
“Nothing will happen!” Shen Yijia smiled.
This person could not die in Xunyang City.
Perhaps because he was afraid of delaying his lord’s treatment, when Qian Youde brought the hot water over, Zhou Qing had already prepared everything Shen Yijia needed.
The room was filled with the smell of horse dung. Shen Yijia resisted the urge to vomit and held her breath as she instructed, “The child’s urine is mixed with cockroach feet. Feed it to your lord. Then soak your lord in hot water and pour all the horse dung into it.”
“Remember, you have to soak in it for two hours. Call me when the time comes.”
“Where are you going?” Zhou Qing asked in disbelief.
“Do you want me to stay here and watch your lord take a bath? I’ll wait outside.” With that, Shen Yijia left without looking back.
It was too disgusting.
“I can’t help here, so I’ll go back to my room first. Call me when your lord wakes up.” Eunuch Li covered his nose with a handkerchief and stood up.
Zhou Qing could only agree aggrievedly.
He was the only one left in the room. Looking at the things placed on the table, Zhou Qing was in a dilemma. He wondered if he should try his best.
Unexpectedly, the quack’s voice sounded. “You have to hurry up. If you delay any further, even a god won’t be able to save your lord.”
Zhou Qing clenched his fists angrily and poured the cockroach feet into the child’s urine.
The citizens of Xunyang City were going too far. They actually wanted a tael of silver for a child to pee.
When his lord woke up, he would definitely…
“Ugh.” Zhou Qing rolled his eyes.
Shen Yijia listened at the door for a while. First, there was the sound of something falling into the water.
Shen Yijia covered her mouth and chuckled while stroking her beard. It was a pity that the weather was too cold. It took a long time to send the hot water over, and Zhou Qing wasted his time.
The water was at most a little hot. It was impossible to scald Lord Zhou.
However, that was fine. There was still a long way to go. She didn’t want to kill him by accident.
Just as she thought this, there was a sudden clang inside, followed by a loud scolding. “Bastard.”
“Master, you’re really awake. This method really works…”
Shen Yijia blinked. She felt that Lord Zhou had either woken up from the heat or the stench.
She shivered in disgust as she imagined the feces steaming in the bath.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to slip away, she heard Eunuch Li say faintly, “Doctor Jia is really amazing.”
Shen Yijia glanced at him and raised her chin. “Of course. My medical skills are not for show.”
Qian Youde couldn’t help but laugh.
Shen Yijia glared at him. “What? Are you so excited that you’re acting up again? Let’s go home and take your medicine. Otherwise, what if you start beating people up?”
As she spoke, she pushed Qian Youde a few times. She thought of something and raised her voice to Eunuch Li. “Lord Zhou is also awake, which means that my method is still useful. Remember to let him soak for two hours, do not end the treatment early.”
“I’ll send the rest of the medicine over tomorrow.”
“By the way, pay for today’s consultation first. I don’t want much. Ten taels of silver will do.”
She was implying that Lord Zhou still had to undergo treatment later. If they wanted to completely treat him, they would need to let her go back.
Eunuch Li frowned and glanced at Qi Shou. Qi Shou took out a money bag and took out the silver.
Xunyang City was poor, but their prices were absurdly high.
Shen Yijia resisted the urge to snatch it away. She tried her best to maintain her status and gestured for Mo Yuan to collect the money.
The three of them went downstairs. Seeing that Eunuch Li did not say anything, the soldiers did not stop them and allowed the three of them to swagger away.
Eunuch Li looked in the direction Shen Yijia had left for a long time. This back view looked even more familiar.
“Sir, you can’t come out. Doctor Jia said that you have to soak for two hours.”
Zhou Qing’s voice in the room pulled Eunuch Li back to reality. The corners of his mouth twitched as he instructed the two soldiers, “The two of you go in and keep an eye on Lord Zhou. This treatment can’t be interrupted.”
Lord Zhou was woken up by the smell and he fainted from anger.
After tricking them, Shen Yijia walked on the streets in a good mood.
She felt that the wind today was not so cold.
“Mo Yuan, are you sure that Lord Zhou won’t die?” Although Mo Yuan had secretly told her just now, Shen Yijia still wanted to confirm it.
Mo Yuan said, “Yes, Miss. Don’t worry.”
“Sister-in-law, since we’ve earned money, can we go and have a meal?” Qian Youde kept making his presence known.
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and was about to retort.
Suddenly, a carriage charged in their direction.
Shen Yijia pushed Mo Yuan away and clenched her fists to welcome the carriage.
She was so fast that everyone could only see a blur.
With a bang, Shen Yijia punched the horse’s head, and it fell to the ground with a neigh.
“Whoa!” The commoners, who had been so frightened that they scattered, gasped when they saw this scene. This person was really strong despite his age. He was comparable to the female demon.
Shen Yijia glanced at the carriage. Wasn’t this Liu Piaopiao’s carriage?
Every time Liu Piaopiao came to look for her, she would take this carriage.
Just as she thought this, there was also movement in the carriage. Cai Yun crawled out of the carriage trembling.
Then, she bent down and pulled Liu Piaopiao out. Their hair was in a mess.
“Miss, are you alright?”
Liu Piaopiao was still a little dizzy and nauseous. She held her head with one hand and said in a trembling voice, “I’m fine.”
When Cai Yun heard that she was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. When she turned around and saw that her horse had been beaten to death, her eyes instantly widened.
With a glance, she discovered the culprit. Shen Yijia, who was standing beside the horse, was about to go over and greet Liu Piaopiao and ask about her.
Cai Yun shouted angrily, “Hey, what’s wrong with you, old man? You killed my horse. Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t pay up today.”
The smile on Shen Yijia’s face froze. There was actually someone who wanted to blackmail her?
With her short temper, she did not care if they knew each other or not. She pinched her fingers and took a few steps forward to slap Cai Yun.
