"Sir, this is an ergency case, it’s quite urgent. Don’t worry, I will definitely see you today. Please wait a mont and go to the diagnosis room to rest. If you can’t go back today, I’ll cover your food and lodging expenses." Lin Miao turned around and instructed Xia Zhu to arrange for the last patient, the old gentleman, to rest for a while.
The matter with Ye Mi Yuan must be prioritized.
Inside the treatnt room.
"Patriarch Ye, Captain Ye’s injuries have been there for two days, right? Why didn’t you find soone to treat him?" Lin Miao reached out and felt the fractures on Ye Mi Yuan’s legs and arms, deliberately applying so pressure, causing Ye Mi Yuan to let out a muffled groan in pain.
"It’s been two days, but they were just discovered and brought back to the city." Ye Shengyuan quickly explained.
"These are displaced fractures. They were initially set but broken again. What kind of person could be so ruthless..." Lin Miao muttered to himself.
Hearing this, Ye Shengyuan’s face twitched slightly. In order to seek treatnt from Lin Miao, Ye Mi Yuan had Ye Shengyuan deliberately displace his broken leg and arm again.
This second injury almost caused him to pass out from the pain. Now, even a slight movent causes a dull ache, which is why he remained silent on the stretcher.
Lin Miao’s bone-setting skills may not be very adept, but with several days of experience and following the antecedents’ techniques of bone examination and injury probing,
he could easily discern the condition of Ye Mi Yuan’s broken leg bone. If it hadn’t been treated, the fracture after two days would not appear like this.
For the sake of seeking treatnt from him, this guy even re-broke his own leg and arm. Truly ruthless!
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to detect it. But Ye Mi Yuan’s limbs were broken by him; he’s intimately familiar with the shape of those breaks.
What’s this guy’s intention? Last ti, it was to test him, but ended up getting reported by him and thrown into the Arresting Departnt’s jail.
However, he hadn’t foreseen getting caned in that encounter.
This ti he returns, has he not learned his lesson?
No, there must be a conspiracy.
"It might have happened while he was being moved carelessly when found, Mr. Lin, is the situation serious?" Ye Shengyuan, after all, also cunningly ca up with an excuse swiftly to cover it up.
"Mr. Lin, I lay in a cave for two full days, luckily discovered by two hunters who carried down the mountain, causing my second fracture..." Ye Mi Yuan explained with sweat beading on his forehead from the pain.
"Captain Ye, your perseverance is comndable, able to endure such pain!" Lin Miao released his hand, "Xia Zhu, prepare the Mafeisan, I need to set Captain Ye’s bone. The splints for fixing the leg bone should also be prepared."
"What’s Mafeisan?"
"Didn’t Captain Ye try it last ti? Once ingested, you sleep, and feel nothing, not even pain." Lin Miao chuckled, "While you’re completely numb, your bones are set."
Ye Shengyuan asked in surprise, "Is there really such a dicine?"
"Yes, I have the formula right here. If Patriarch Ye is interested, I can write it down for you when you leave." Lin Miao smiled, "The Mafeisan has multiple uses. The more people learn to utilize it, the less pain patients have to endure."
Ye Shengyuan was taken aback; is soone truly willing to share their secret skills without compensation?
He had never seen anything like it.
No, impossible, he didn’t believe it; even if Lin Miao genuinely gave it to him, he wouldn’t dare use it...
Lin Miao saw Ye Shengyuan’s incredulous expression and realized he wouldn’t believe it. Such people have hardened hearts, always thinking others are like them.
"Xia Zhu, is the Mafeisan ready?"
"Here it is, Mr. Lin." Xia Zhu ca in carrying a bowl of dark, murky dicinal soup.
"Mr. Lin, didn’t you give pills last ti?" Ye Mi Yuan asked, attemptive twitches of pain playing at the corners of his mouth.
"Pills work slower. The dicinal soup is more absorbable and acts fast." Lin Miao laughed, "Co on, Captain Ye, drink it, and you won’t feel any pain."
Ye Mi Yuan glanced at Ye Shengyuan.
"Rest assured, during the treatnt, Patriarch Ye will be present throughout." Lin Miao stated.
Ye Shengyuan walked over, lifted Ye Mi Yuan, and poured the Mafei Soup directly into him. Since they were here already, why not perform the act?
Shortly after consuming the Mafei Soup, Ye Mi Yuan’s eyelids drooped, and he no longer felt the pain in his arms and legs.
In the span of a cup of tea, he drifted into a deep unconsciousness.
As a physician, Lin Miao adhered to his dical ethics. Since he planned to treat Ye Mi Yuan, there would naturally be no malicious intent.
The bone setting, fixing, applying of dication, and bandaging were completed seamlessly.
His decision not to kill Ye Mi Yuan stemd not only from his role as a court officer but also because murdering him would have consequences. Besides, for the grudge of the broken leg, he intended to leave it for Mr. Xie to settle in the future.
"All done. When Captain Ye awakens, take him back for recovery. Avoid water for three days. Patriarch Ye, being a distinguished physician, requires no special reminders; rember dietary restrictions. Also, co for a follow-up in seven days." Lin Miao clapped his hands, "Furthermore, I will prescribe Captain Ye a redy. Make sure he takes it daily. He should be able to walk in three months."
"Alright, thank you very much, Mr. Lin." Ye Shengyuan had witnessed practitioners from the Lueo setting Ye Mi Yuan’s bones, requiring substantial ti, yet Lin Miao completed everything swiftly, as if in a blink of an eye.
He felt a bit disbelieving, utterly astounded, yet lacking expertise in bone-setting, he refrained from comnting.
"Xia Zhu, collect the ergency treatnt fee and material costs."
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
"Patriarch Ye, our Convenient dical Diagnosis Point charges one tael of silver as ergency treatnt fee, and as for material costs, just a few bandages and wooden sticks, they aren’t worth much, pay as you see fit," Xia Zhu said.
Ye Shengyuan smiled wryly, "Didn’t Mr. Lin also apply dicine to Mi Yuan just now? Shouldn’t the cost of the dicine be included?"
"That’s included in the ergency treatnt fee. In ergencies, dicine is typically used; otherwise, it would just be prescribed for self-administration."
"Ye Cheng, pay up!"
"Master, I don’t have any loose silver..."
"Then offer a silver ingot. Doesn’t Mr. Lin’s marvelous skills deserve at least one ingot?" Ye Shengyuan lightly admonished.
Ye Cheng agreed, bringing out a silver ingot weighing ten taels from his pocket, and handed it over.
Xia Zhu glanced at Lin Miao.
"Take it, Patriarch Ye doesn’t lack this bit of silver." Lin Miao nodded.
...
The Ye Family rushed in and out quickly.
"Lin, this Ye Shengyuan seems to have co with ill intentions. I always feel he has a purpose," Guan Biyun reminded Lin Miao afterward.
"I noticed it too. He’s deliberately testing my patience." Lin Miao nodded.
"It’s good that you know. People are easily blinded by hatred and do irrational things. Today, you did the right thing. If you had really refused to treat Ye Mi Yuan, there might be rumors against you tomorrow."
"I don’t know if he’s at his wit’s end, but to use such a strategy that harms the enemy eight hundred and himself a thousand, just to confront ." Lin Miao said with deep eyes.
Guan Biyun sighed. She wasn’t familiar with Ye Shengyuan and couldn’t diate between them, especially since the whole thing wasn’t Lin Miao’s fault from the start.
Moreover, Lin Miao hadn’t actively provoked the other party. Now it’s Ye Shengyuan who is making life difficult for Lin Miao, targeting and suppressing him, even using his power.
"Mr. Lin, the dicine you gave Ye Mi Yuan..."
"It’s fine. I didn’t use any private formula, just followed the predecessors’ prescriptions." Lin Miao knew what Xia Zhu was worried about.
"And the last old man?"
"He’s still here. Do you want to treat him?"
"Yes, I’ll treat him and then go ho. It’s late anyway." Lin Miao nodded.
...
"How did it go?" Ye Shengyuan returned to Shengyuan Hall and asked after the in-house physician skilled in orthopedics checked Ye Mi Yuan.
The physician bent down to examine for a long ti before finally looking up and saying, "Very impressive. I’ve never seen such perfectly aligned bones. If I didn’t know that Mr. Ye had broken his leg, I wouldn’t have noticed it."
"This young man’s dical skills are actually so remarkable!" Ye Shengyuan was a bit astonished and exclaid.
"President, is this the work of that physician?"
"Don’t ask too many questions. You may leave now." Ye Shengyuan clearly didn’t want to say more and gestured for the person to leave.
"Mi Yuan, what do we do now? His response was flawless." With only two people left in the room, Ye Shengyuan asked.
"No, he did slip up. He applied force intentionally when examining my leg at the start," Ye Mi Yuan said.
"That can’t be counted. He knew that you and I purposefully ca today, and secretly retaliated a bit. As long as you can’t do anything to him, it doesn’t prove anything." Ye Shengyuan slowly shook his head.
Ye Mi Yuan remained silent.
"You’ve tested him twice already, and this ti, he still didn’t fall for it, and his performance gave no foothold to attack. Why not wait, heal your injury first?" Ye Shengyuan said.
"How will you explain to Mrs. He then?"
"I have my reasons for Mrs. He. Don’t worry too much, but with this incident, your official position might not be tenable anymore."
"If I can’t keep the position, so be it. Once I recover, I’ll start over," Ye Mi Yuan said. "Patriarch, as for Qin Yanran at Huaye Tower, can we use her? She has quite a grudge against Lin."
"I’ll consider it." Ye Shengyuan thought for a mont, then nodded.
...
Rear courtyard of Dongshan Prefecture’s Yan.
"Mr. Dong, Ye Shengyuan took Ye Mi Yuan to Xiuyue Square." Zhuo Qingfeng hurried into the pavilion to report to the Prefecture Magistrate Pei Jian, who was painting.
"Didn’t they have a conflict?"
"No, Ye Shengyuan went to treat Ye Mi Yuan’s injuries," Zhuo Qingfeng explained.
"The Ye Family is renowned for dicine. Even if not specialized in orthopedics, Shengyuan Hall should have an orthopedic physician. Why seek Mr. Lin? There might be another plot behind this." Pei Jian continued painting without being affected by this news.
"I suspect Ye Shengyuan still doubts that Ye Mi Yuan’s injury is related to Lin Miao. I checked, and at the ti of Ye Mi Yuan’s injury, Lin Miao was indeed not in the city, but Ye Mi Yuan returned with Du Heng from the Green Blade Sect..."
"To injure soone under Du Heng’s command, our Mr. Lin doesn’t seem to have that capability, does he?"
Zhuo Qingfeng nodded: "Lin Miao indeed has martial arts talent, but his displayed martial arts level is currently only Upper Grade Bone Forging Realm, while Du Heng is Upper Grade Blood Fusion Realm, which is a huge gap."
"There’s news from Li Jing, take a look." Pei Jian put down his brush and handed over an envelope from his sleeve.
"The Emperor is holding an autumn hunt and requires all heirs of military officers and nobles over sixteen to participate. Why is that?" Zhuo Qingfeng was startled by the content.
"The Crown Prince is childless, and the Emperor’s health has not been good in recent years. This autumn hunt is actually for selecting the next Emperor’s team," Pei Jian said.
"Does this an the Emperor doesn’t have much ti?"
"Qingfeng, don’t speculate wildly on this matter, or if it reaches Li Jing, we’ll both be in trouble." Pei Jian rebuked.
"Understood, Qingfeng will rember."
"Any news of that woman?" Pei Jian pondered for a mont and asked again.
"Her last trace was at Heaven-Reaching Temple, but the temple has been destroyed and everyone there is gone. Most likely, they’ve hidden in Longchuan Canyon," Zhuo Qingfeng said.
Longchuan Canyon.
Pei Jian looked up, his eyes filled with complicated emotions, glancing in the direction of Longchuan Canyon.
That place is not one ordinary people can visit.
