Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 730 - 728

Chapter 730: Chapter 728

The Imperial Doctor’s Office is located outside of the Imperial Palace and adjacent to it for the convenience of the nobles issuing decrees from the palace.

Shangguan Xuanyi had just left the palace and he happened to see Zhao Yong waiting outside the Imperial Doctor’s Office.

He strode forward, anxiously asking, "Why are you waiting here? Is the Empress unwell?"

Seeing his master, Zhao Yong quickly saluted, "Master, the crown prince, Prince An, has been bitten by a snake and he’s now at the mansion."

Shangguan Xuanyi frowned at these words: If Shangguan Ruixi was bitten by a snake, why did he run to his own house? Did this foreign man actually expect his own Empress to take care of him?

At this moment, Xiao Fuzi brought the horse over. Shangguan Xuanyi mounted it and left in a cloud of dust.

Doctor Luo had just come out and seeing the quickly receding figure of Shangguan Xuanyi, he asked, "What’s wrong with the Sixth Empress? Why is the Sixth Prince in such a hurry?"

"The Sixth Empress is fine. It is Prince An who needs to see the imperial doctor. Please, Doctor Luo!" Zhao Yong made a gesture of invitation, inviting Doctor Luo to get in the carriage.

"Why is Prince An in the Sixth Prince’s Mansion?" Doctor Luo asked curiously while getting on the carriage.

"The Empress saved Prince An on the way. Prince An dared not return to his mansion and asked the Imperial Doctor in the Sixth Prince’s Mansion."

Doctor Luo clambered into the carriage and paused just as he was about to sit down: "Guard Zhao, do I have any grievances with you?"

Zhao Yong also sat in the driver’s seat of the carriage, somewhat puzzled by this, "No! Why would Doctor Luo ask such a question?"

"Prince An wouldn’t even dare to go back to his own mansion and hide in the Sixth Prince’s Mansion. There might be some secret involved. You tell me, if I go to treat him and find out his secret, will I still be able to live peacefully in the future? There are so many imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, why did you choose me? Isn’t this the same as having a grudge against me?"

Zhao Yong: "..." How come he never knew that Doctor Luo’s brain was so developed? His imagination is truly rich.

Zhao Yong flicked the horsewhip, and the horse began to run.

The carriage jerked, and Doctor Luo nearly fell off. He quickly sat down: "Guard Zhao, I just remembered that I have a stomachache. Why don’t you find someone else?"

Zhao Yong rolled his eyes, really wanting to say: Doctor Luo, you’re overthinking things!

However, Zhao Yong couldn’t help teasing him a bit and said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, Doctor Luo. Please, sit tight!"

After saying that, the carriage started to run quickly.

After hearing this, Doctor Luo nearly cursed out loud.

Secrets and all that, he truly wasn’t interested!

...

When Shangguan Xuanyi returned to the mansion, Xiao’er was talking to the two of them in the flower hall of the outer courtyard.

The snake venom had already been completely neutralized at this point, and they felt completely fine.

As soon as Shangguan Ruixi saw Shangguan Xuanyi, he said, "Xuanyi, the tea here is especially good. I’ll have to come often to ask for a cup of tea."

Du Yijin stood up to greet him.

Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t give him a pleasant look, "The amount of tea is very limited. It’s not enough for you to drink! If you’re sick, why don’t you go back to your own house for treatment! What are you doing here?"

Shangguan Ruixi touched his nose and mumbled, "Stingy! You narcissist..." He didn’t finish saying ’sick’, as he swallowed it back under Shangguan Xuanyi’s murderous glare.

Oh well, he was under someone else’s roof, and he couldn’t help but bow his head.

Shangguan Xuanyi walked next to Xiao’er and naturally took her hand: "Did you go to the villa this afternoon?"

"Yes, I was free, so I went to see if the grapes were ripe. I ran into the Crown Prince and the others on the way back." Xiao’er found Shangguan Ruixi’s angry but not dare to speak behavior amusing.

"The Imperial Consort is so caring! Unlike someone! I was bitten by a snake on the mountain today by accident, and Miss Du was also poisoned trying to save me. Luckily, we ran into the imperial consort on the way, who generously gave us an antidote. The Imperial Consort was worried that we might still have residual poison, so she suggested we see the Imperial Doctor. To save the doctor from running around, we came here to bother you."

Xiao’er held back before controlling herself not to expose his lie. She seems to have said that they should go to the clinic to see a doctor!

"Well, you can go to Prince An’s Mansion to see him." Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t take his bait.

"Isn’t it because I miss you since I haven’t seen you for so long," Shangguan Ruixi shamelessly said.

If it wasn’t for Miss Du with him, fearing that it would harm her reputation, he wouldn’t have come here.

Shangguan Xuanyi shivered and stopped paying attention to him.

Du Yijin felt a little embarrassed: "Imperial consort, it’s getting late, and the poison in my body has been completely cleared. To prevent my father from worrying, I will leave first."

"Don’t worry about them, have dinner before going back." Xiao’er started speaking while holding Du Yijin’s hand.

At this time, Doctor Luo also walked in.

Shangguan Ruixi quickly pulled Doctor Luo to Du Yijin: "Doctor Luo, Miss Du was poisoned by a snake earlier, please check if there is any residual poison in her body."

"Yijin, sit down and let Doctor Luo take your pulse. Then... We can be at ease." Xiao’er had initially wanted to say that the Crown Prince would be relieved, however, thinking about Du Yijin’s shyness, she decided not to say.

Du Yijin sat down, just wanting to finish with the pulse examination and leave.

Shangguan Ruixi seemed to be overly concerned about her, probably because she saved his life!

At the time, he was bitten by a snake on the mountain behind her house. He was of noble status, the emperor’s nephew, and the Empress Dowager’s grandson, a dragon’s son and a phoenix’s grandchild. If she didn’t immediately help him drain the venom, there was no way her family would escape blame if he died.

At that time, she didn’t think too much, she just didn’t want him to die from the poison! She didn’t want to have any entanglement with him.

Doctor Luo glanced at Du Yijin’s face, there were no longer any signs of poisoning.

He sat down, took out a handkerchief and took her pulse on her wrist: "The snake venom in Miss Du’s body has been completely cleared, but Miss Du is a bit cold in her womb, and she needs some conditioning, or else it will be difficult to conceive after marriage."

Du Yijin’s face turned red after hearing this, but she still shook her head: "Thank you, Doctor Luo, no need to condition for now."

Anyway, she never planned to get married in her life, and after the last incident, no one came to propose marriage to a woman with a ruined reputation like her.

"How could this be acceptable, if your body is not good, naturally, you have to take care of it, Doctor Luo, write a prescription!" Shangguan Ruixi disagreed after hearing Du Yijin’s words.

Doctor Luo nodded, wrote a prescription while telling, "A young lady’s body cannot be ignored. This prescription’s drugs are a bit expensive because they contain two precious ingredients. Take it once in the morning and once in the evening for half a year, and you’ll be fine! During medication, avoid sour, spicy, and greasy food."

Take it for half a year! Du Yijin was even less willing to condition after hearing this.

After Doctor Luo finished writing the prescription, he let the ink dry on the paper and then gave it to Du Yijin.

Shangguan Ruixi saw that Du Yijin was reluctant to take the prescription, guessing she might not take the medicine as prescribed, so he reached out and took it.

Doctor Luo glanced at Shangguan Ruixi and then looked at Du Yijin. Was this a secret?

But who is this young lady? She doesn’t look like a woman of low status! Does she need to be hidden away in the Sixth Prince’s mansion?
