Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Begging the Divine Doctor for Leniency
At this moment, Qu Wei approached quietly and whispered, “Sister, the Shen Family and the Murong Family are allied by marriage. In Dongjiang, the Shen Family is a prominent clan, and the Murong Family holds significant power. They are often referred to as the two great families of the region.”
Qi Yue rolled her eyes.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Well, you never asked!” Qu Wei said boldly, shaking his fan.
It was only mid-April, and the morning weather was still cool.
This fellow kept fanning himself vigorously, which made Qi Yue’s mouth twitch.
How did she end up with such a brother?
A moment of madness!
With the shopkeeper’s mediation, Qi Yue didn’t go too far, and she pushed Bai Dahui on the shoulder, helping him to stand up.
Bai Dahui swung his arm and stared at her continuously.
“What kind of skill is this, Miss? It’s incredibly powerful! I, Bai Dahui, am impressed!” he said.
Then he clasped his hands together and bowed to her.
“That day on the second floor, I shouldn’t have spoken rashly; today, I made another mistake. Hereby, I, Bai Dahui, apologize to Miss Qi. I’m sorry, please consider my simplicity and forgive me this once!”
The shopkeeper also came forward with an apologetic smile.
“Miss Qi, you are a magnanimous person, don’t take offense at the words of a simple man! This Bai Dahui is just a martial man, blunt in speech!”
Bai Dahui still held his bow, his face a mix of surprise and admiration.
Qi Yue smiled slightly.
“No harm done. We were also at fault then, shouldn’t have secretly critiqued the esteemed Governor.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Dahui immediately became anxious.
“Miss Qi, please, save my elder brother. He is about to be killed by his retained urine!”
Kidney stone patients can reach a stage where they can’t urinate, and indeed, it is possible to be suffocated to death.
However, the Governor’s brother-in-law certainly was a straightforward man, too unveilingly blunt, ripping into the details of the Governor’s situation.
The people present felt somewhat embarrassed.
Qi Yue pressed her lips tightly and asked sternly, “How long has the Governor been experiencing urinary retention symptoms?”
“It started yesterday, but fortunately, a doctor’s method worked. Today, it got more severe, and none of the methods are effective!”
Bai Dahui did not specify which methods they were, but Qi Yue guessed they were not good ones, otherwise, the issue of unable to urinate wouldn’t recur.
The Governor Murong Mingyue was likely suffering a urinary tract infection by now, and if it was delayed longer, the kidney stones could turn into nephritis. In severe cases, acute nephritis or uremia was also possible.
The situation was critical, as human life was at stake.
Qi Yue couldn’t bother tidying up and immediately headed for the Governor’s Office.
Upon entering the courtyard of the Governor’s Office, she heard a series of miserable screams.
“Ah, it’s killing me!”
“Ah, thump!”
Bai Dahui, who was leading the way, nearly broke into tears upon hearing the voice.
“Big brother, big brother, I’ve brought the doctor! Big brother, you’re going to be saved….”
This robust dark man rushed into the room with agile movements, and before he had fully entered, he turned back and yelled at Qi Yue,
“Miss Qi, hurry up!”
Saying this, he became anxious and tried to grasp Qi Yue’s arm.
But seeing Qi Yue’s frosty expression, he immediately withdrew his hand, his face embarrassed.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you, miss.”
Qi Yue knew he was a straightforward man, and naturally, she would not hold a grudge against him. A woman in her twenties had already come out to meet them, her charming face also full of worry!
“Where is the doctor, where is the doctor?”
Upon seeing Qi Yue, a look of jealousy flashed across the woman’s face, but she quickly urged, “Please, come inside.”
Clearly, the woman mistook her for someone who specialized in a suitably indirect method of helping the Governor urinate.
Qi Yue sneered inwardly.
Yet, this was not the time for grievances. Hearing the cries of the patient, as a doctor, how could she lack compassion!
Upon entering the room, Qi Yue indeed saw the man with spotted face slumped in an armchair, his black robe disheveled, the noble belt already tossed aside.
His face was flushed, veins bulging at his temples, and his eyes filled with purplish-red blood vessels, barely holding on.
In front of the knees, there was a large urine bucket, completely empty, clearly also anxiously waiting to be used.
“Hurry up, doctor, can’t you see the gentleman can’t take it anymore?”
The woman shouted at Qi Yue, and even started to fumble with the robe under Murong Mingyue, clearly implying she wanted her to start the manual procedure.
“Get away!”
Qi Yue frowned and reached out to push the ranting woman aside.
The woman, pushed by her, directly fell to the side, and opened her mouth to curse, but Bai Dahui shouted loudly.
“Shut up! If you delay my brother’s illness, I will kill you!”
The woman immediately dared not make a sound, but kept glaring at Qi Yue with malicious eyes.
Murong Mingyue couldn’t cry out anymore.
Occasionally struggling to say a sentence.
“It hurts so much…..”
He was clearly already at the edge of collapse, lacking strength in his voice.
Qi Yue didn’t delay any further, having Bai Dahui lift Murong Mingyue’s feet, and poked three needles into the sole of each foot, followed by three more into each hand.
Twelve Ghost Gate Needles! Life-saving divine needles!
As soon as the needles were inserted, Murong Mingyue’s complexion eased, his tense body relaxed, and he began to observe Qi Yue more attentively.
“May I ask which divine doctor said this gentleman was ill?”
Before Qi Yue could reply, Bai Dahui immediately said, “Yes, brother, she is Miss Qi Yue.”
“Truly a divine doctor, I feel much better now, thank you, Doctor Qi Yue!”
“You’re welcome,” Qi Yue said indifferently. “Your brother started banging on the door before dawn, breaking my visitation rule, hence the consultation fee will be one thousand taels.”
Bai Dahui’s face turned awkward and immediately lowered his head.
Murong Mingyue was momentarily startled, then revealed a smile.
“No problem.”
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, collected the Silver Needles, and walked out the door.
Immediately, a relieved urination sound echoed from the room behind her.
“Hahaha, brother, you finally managed to pee!”
“Refreshing, truly a divine doctor!”
“Brother, let Doctor Qi see you again, who knows if you might have difficulty again tomorrow!”
“Alright, alright, let’s treat the divine doctor to fine tea, I’ll be right there!”
Bai Dahui came out immediately, his face covered with a smile as he ushered Qi Yue to the front hall.
The previously ranting woman no longer glared at her, now following with a face full of eagerness.
“Divine Doctor Qi, I was offensive just now, please pardon me.”
Qi Yue, not wanting to bicker with these courtyard women and guessing that this woman was probably a concubine of the Governor, did not want to completely dismiss her face, vaguely waved her hand and said, “No matter.”
Just as she spoke, a stern-looking middle-aged woman entered the front hall.
Upon seeing Qi Yue, her face immediately brightened with a smile.
“This must be Divine Doctor Qi Yue, I hadn’t expected such a lovely young lady! How surprising!”
Bai Dahui promptly introduced them.
Qi Yue guessed this woman was the principal wife, and she wasn’t wrong.
Under continuous greetings from the Governor’s wife, servants walked into the front hall, offering tea and various fruit.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, seeing that she was rather straightforward, Qi Yue spoke a bit more.
At this moment, the concubine also came up to speak, “Madame, Divine Doctor Qi…”
She had just opened her mouth when the Governor’s wife slapped her across the face.
“The divine doctor is generous, and pardoned you, but I will not let you off, you deceitful creature! Don’t think I don’t know what you are up to, drag her out and lock her up.”
