Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Bai Dahui
“Well, the wife of the Governor is quite something,” remarked Qi Yue, watching from the side, stunned.
Her temper was even bigger than hers.
The concubine was immediately pulled away, and just as quickly, the Governor’s wife switched to a smiling face.
“Divine Doctor Qi, sorry to have caused such a spectacle. This woman well knew my husband was in poor health, yet she still insisted on bringing him to her quarters, and look, trouble ensued early in the morning. It also troubled you.”
Qi Yue twitched her lips, wanting to say that Murong Mingyue’s illness had nothing to do with women, but she ended up remaining silent.
That concubine must have been deeply favored by Murong Mingyue; even the Governor’s wife couldn’t do anything about her, and took the opportunity to put her in her place now. Such a master of household scheming!
It seems that the concubine might not end up well soon after.
As they were speaking, Murong Mingyue hurried over.
He had changed his clothes and held a smile on his face, looking completely revitalized.
“Divine Doctor Qi, sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Everyone stood up to greet him, and naturally, Qi Yue was no exception.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before sitting down again.
After drinking half a cup of tea, Qi Yue decided to leave.
Early in the morning, she hadn’t even washed her face. Wasn’t that hard enough?
“If the Governor is feeling much better, then I will take my leave,” she said as she stood up.
Murong Mingyue quickly stopped her, asking her to sit down again, and then began to speak.
“Divine Doctor Qi, my sworn brother mentioned that day at Linjiang Pavilion, he heard you say my illness is quite troublesome, is that correct?”
Qi Yue glanced at Bai Dahui sitting nearby and replied softly, “It isn’t really troublesome, just three to five years’ worth of issues, it won’t be too painful.”
Upon hearing this, Murong Mingyue’s face immediately changed.
Bai Dahui and the Prefectural Governor’s wife were both anxious.
“Divine Doctor Qi, it can’t be that serious, can it? Those other doctors said it wasn’t much to worry about,” they said.
Qi Yue gave a faint smile.
“Then Madam should listen to those doctors! I was just saying,” she replied.
All of a sudden, Bai Dahui stood up, looking anxiously at the Governor’s wife.
“Madam, that day Divine Doctor Qi merely glanced at my brother and said he should not eat duck. And sure enough, it caused problems later. Didn’t those doctors also say that Big Brother should avoid duck and greasy food? You saw what happened this morning too; without Divine Doctor Qi, who knows what might have become of my brother!”
With these words, he suddenly turned and knelt before Qi Yue.
“Divine Doctor Qi, I believe in you, please save my Big Brother! Dongjiang cannot be without him!”
“Divine Doctor Qi, that day I offended you and your family in front of everyone, I am willing to apologize here and now, please do save my Big Brother!”
His words carried much weight.
Qi Yue quickly stood up and helped Bai Dahui to his feet.
“Let’s put that day’s incident behind us and not mention it anymore. If the Governor wishes, I can treat this illness,” she assured him.
Upon hearing this, Bai Dahui was about to kneel again in gratitude.
They say, ‘A man’s knees are as precious as gold,’ and here was such a burly man, so quick to kneel!
Qi Yue hurriedly caught hold of him.
Bai Dahui was tall and burly, and with her unintentional use of Innate Divine Strength, she pulled him slightly off his feet.
Sure enough, the next second saw Bai Dahui looking astonished.
Qi Yue gave him a slight smile and looked towards Murong Mingyue.
“You have a good brother there. It’s truly enviable!”
Murong Mingyue, sharp as ever, immediately talked about their sworn brotherhood.
It turned out Bai Dahui’s parents had died young, and he was originally raising pigs for a wealthy family.
Three years ago, when he was tending to pigs, a sudden downpour struck, so he herded the pigs into a cave. Little did he know, Murong Mingyue, who was out on an inspection, was also taking shelter in that same cave.
Bai Dahui, naive as he was, immediately argued with Murong Mingyue, claiming the cave was his pigsty and that he couldn’t let him take shelter there.
Murong Mingyue, who had long been accustomed to his high status as the Governor, had mostly encountered sycophantic individuals and had rarely seen such forthright people; therefore, he immediately found it intriguing.
The two of them started arguing back and forth and, unexpectedly, became brothers.
Afterward, seeing his great strength, Murong Mingyue enlisted him in the Dongjiang military, making it convenient for the two to frequently drink and eat duck together.
What was admirable was that Bai Dahui, upon reaching the rank of Governor of Dongjiang, still retained his rough and sincere nature. He never used Murong Mingyue’s influence to bully others, which drew them even closer.
Eventually, they simply became sworn brothers.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue’s mind instantly flashed with two names—Song Jiang and Li Kui?
No, perhaps it was more like the Imperial Uncle and Zhang Fei?
Yet, none seemed quite right.
Anyway, it roughly felt that way!
In any case, Bai Dahui was a decent man, and Murong Mingyue was also worth saving.
Later, Qi Yue took Murong Mingyue’s pulse and mentioned a few symptoms he had in addition to urinary retention, such as occasional pain during urination, blood in the urine, and pain in the lower abdomen.
Murong Mingyue nodded repeatedly while listening, and his trust in Qi Yue grew even stronger.
When he heard that treatment would begin, and brownish stones would expel from his body, Murong Mingyue was completely shocked.
“I will expel stones… How could there be stones inside my body?”
“Well, I suppose that proves my diagnosis wasn’t wrong,” Qi Yue replied.
Seeing the fear on everyone’s faces, Qi Yue patiently explained the origin of the stones and the cause of the illness.
“In any case, Your Excellency need not panic. Given that I have come to treat you, I will surely cure you. Once the stones have been expelled, your illness will be cured.”
Upon hearing this, Murong Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Setting aside everything else, just by seeing Qi Yue’s actions this morning, he knew he had encountered a Divine Doctor!
“May I ask, Divine Doctor, how long will it take to expel the stones?”
Qi Yue looked at the dark spots on his face and said, “It depends; once they are cleared, the dark spots on your face will also disappear.”
Murong Mingyue’s expression stiffened, and he unconsciously wiped his cheek.
Though he was a man, he too possessed a vanity.
In his youth, who didn’t praise his handsome features?
One would think he could still be a charming talent when old, but unexpectedly, these facial dark spots… cough…
These women in the back courtyards, although silent, might despise him in their hearts…
Qi Yue, of course, was unaware of Murong Mingyue’s inner turmoil. She quickly wrote a prescription, instructed on the method to brew the medicine, and gave a series of precautions before bidding farewell and leaving.
The Governor’s Office sent a large horse-drawn carriage to escort her back to Linjiang Pavilion, and Bai Dahui insisted on coming along to apologize to Qu Wei.
Unable to stop him, Qi Yue simply went along.
And he really did bow his head in apology as he said he would.
Upon entering, Bai Dahui bowed down to Qu Wei immediately.
“Little Brother Qu Wei, I’m sorry.”
Qu Wei was a Petty Ghost, deliberately standing still, loftily shaking his fan with an air of arrogance.
“Who is this? Why is he kneeling down?”
Bai Dahui, honest as he was, had never encountered someone like Qu Wei and kept earnestly explaining.
“Little Brother Qu Wei, earlier at Linjiang Pavilion, I was reckless and offended you. I hope you can overlook it…”
Qu Wei just carelessly shook his fan, looking immensely pleased with himself.
“Isn’t this the big brother who wanted to fight the other day? How could I dare? Please, get up quickly. If you seek revenge later, my frail body cannot take it.”
“Little Brother Qu Wei…”
Qi Yue glared at him, “Enough is enough!”
Only then did Qu Wei help Bai Dahui up.
Despite his scholarly gentle appearance, her brother was quite a character, conducting himself with a touch of Martial World style.
Soon he and Bai Dahui made up as though nothing had happened, and went upstairs to drink and eat duck together.
