Marquis Xuanping bowed with admiration, "Doctor Gu truly lives up to the na of a godly physician."
Yun Jiao smiled, "The Marquis flatters ."
"Now that the worms are removed, there’s no longer any concern. Marquis, take good care of your body for a while and it will recover."
The steward sealed a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Lei Ying.
Yun Jiao took her leave and left.
The next day, Yun Jiao was invited to Minister Liu’s mansion to perform cataract surgery for the old master there.
Yun Jiao scheduled the surgery for the following day.
On the next day, Yun Jiao did not expect more than ten Imperial Physicians to gather at Liu Mansion.
Minister Liu worried that the crowd might affect his father’s surgery, only allowed Wang Yuanpan to observe.
After the surgery was completed, Yun Jiao packed her things and was about to leave when Wang Yuanpan ca over, smiling and bowing, "Doctor Gu, your dical skills are extraordinary. Would you be interested in working at the Imperial Hospital?"
Yun Jiao smiled and shook her head, "I have my own pharmacy to manage; I couldn’t handle the work at Imperial Hospital."
She would rather die than go to the Imperial Hospital. The Emperor and those concubines are difficult to serve; she didn’t want to be like those Imperial Physicians, living in constant fear every day.
Wang Yuanpan wanted to say more, but Yun Jiao hurried her pace and walked away.
Watching her back, Wang Yuanpan sighed deeply. If not for his pride, he would have considered apprenticing under Yun Jiao.
He vaguely sensed that Yun Jiao’s dical skills were far superior to what she’d already shown.
The next day, Yun Jiao took the ti to see Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo was already able to get up and move around.
The lungs are mostly alveoli, which recover quickly.
Seeing Lin Shuo’s condition was fine, Yun Jiao was relieved.
Since then, Yun Jiao’s reputation as a godly physician gradually spread throughout the Capital City. The city’s nobles preferred her over Imperial Physicians, coming to Renxin Hall for her treatnts, leading to Renxin Hall’s business flourishing.
Days soon passed by, and the wedding date for Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao approached.
The wedding date had already been set for the 20th day of the first lunar month.
Yun Jiao’s dowry was prepared. Compared to noble ladies of the Capital City, her dowry was not outstanding but certainly not lacking.
On the morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month, at the Gu Family House, the dowry was loaded onto carts.
Yun Jiao set out from Duke Mansion in a carriage heading towards the Gu Family House, where she would depart for her wedding the next day.
Three days before the wedding, the bride and groom were not allowed to see each other, so Jiang Youzhi couldn’t co to see her off. Fifty personal soldiers from Duke Mansion escorted her carriage.
Lei Ying and Lei Xia sat beside Yun Jiao, while Da Ya rode alongside the carriage.
The Gu Family House was quite far from the Duke Mansion.
After traveling for nearly half an hour, they turned into a small lane leading to the Gu Family House.
Monts after the carriage turned, Da Ya suddenly shouted, "Assassins!"
The guards dismounted quickly and gathered around the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Yun Jiao heard Da Ya’s shout and swiftly unscrewed a bottle cap, swallowing the dicine inside.
Next, she took out a small bottle, poured all the liquid onto a cotton ball, and repeatedly applied it to her fingernails.
Outside, the sounds of swords clashing were incessant.
Lei Ying’s expression was tense, "It seems there are quite a few attackers."
Yun Jiao remained silent, quickly taking out a wax-sealed pill from the small bottle and holding it in her mouth.
Then she retrieved a packet of embroidery needles from her bosom, carefully sticking them onto her dress.
