Chapter 179 | Chapter 180 | Chapter 181 | Chapter 182 | Chapter 183 Chapter 179: A life epiphany Youqin was not sure where to go after parting from Lin Feixing. The Empress Dowager had raised her since she was young, and she brought her into the shadows. She had worked wholeheartedly under the imperial family’s orders without complaint for many years. ‘Freedom’ had dropped out of the blue, but she was somewhat unaccustomed to it. Equipped with a horse carriage, a considerable amount of travel expenses, and a simple bundle of luggage, Youwin began a life of her very own. She travelled into the middle plains. At a small county town, a disease carrying cow had died in a source of water, infecting the villagers there. Youqin was moderately skilled in medicine. She had also followed Luo Yi for three years under Li Xian’s orders before, so she was confident that she could deal with this kind of illness. And so, she started to live in this small county town to treat the sick. Youqin rarely accepted money when she treated patients, and she was quite skilled too. Eventually, her name started to spread. More and more patients came to Youqin’s clinic.
One day, a ‘special’ guest came to Youqin’s clinic. Luo Yi parted the entrance drapes as she walked into the clinic, smelling a familiar scent of medicinal herbs. She had left the grass plains. Riding without a destination, she headed all the way south. When she came to this area, she heard about a ‘miracle doctor’ who did not accept money for treating the sick. Her interest was piqued, so she came to Youqin’s place. Youqin walked out from the inner room once she heard the rustling of the entrance drapes. Meeting each other’s eyes, both of them were taken aback. “So it’s you...” Luo Yi nodded, then she sat down casually on a chair. Youqin had not expected that she would meet an old acquaintance here either. She poured a cup of tea for Luo Yi, then she sat down in front of her. They had not seen each other for two years. Youqin studied Luo Yi carefully, but she found that time had not left a single mark on Luo Yi’s face. She still looked as she did two years ago, but those defiant and unruly eyes had become much dimmer now. There was a faint sadness in the depths of those eyes. After her experience with ‘Lin Feixing’, Youqin knew what sentiment was, in a way. Looking at Luo Yi now, she gained some understanding in her heart. But she did not know if this hurt was because of the Princess, or the Queen? “How have you been doing for the past two years? I’ve heard that Queen Mansha had signed a friendly pact with the Li kingdom. Life must have been rather easy.” A trace of hurt brushed Luo Yi’s eyes, then she asked in return: “How have you been doing for the past two years?” Youqin smiled, then she sighed quietly. She went along with Luo Yi, reminiscing with some melancholy: “I headed south with no destination, then I came across this small county town that was suffering from an epidemic. So I stayed to give the most of my trivial contribution. After that, I just started to live here. Who would’ve thought that time would pass so quickly.” Luo Yi smiled a little. She took a sip of bitter tea, then she continued to ask: “How does it feel to be a physician?”
Youqin thought about it carefully, then she answered seriously: “Very happy. When I see each frail life gradually recovering with my treatment, regaining more hope each day, and their families cheering for them, I feel very satisfied. I think that’s why I have stayed for two years. Everyone here is very poor. If any head of the family were to have a mishap, the entire family would collapse.” Luo Yi stared at Youqin. There was a natural curve on Youqin’s lips, and a light in her eyes. Who knows how much better Luo Yi was in medicine compared to Youqin, but she had never experienced this happiness that she described. Luo Yi had seen such a gaze before. When she was young, she had seen it from her shifu, in the eyes of the previous Medicine King... Luo Yi fell silent. Youqin did not speak anymore either. A patient came into the clinic at a good time; Luo Yi looked towards her out of habit. This housewife had a greyish-blue tint under her eyes. She dragged her feet, her expression was fatigued, and she breathed through her mouth. Luo Yi let out space on the seat. There was no need for her to read a pulse— she already had a prescription in mind. Luo Yi crossed a leg over the other, watching Youqin patiently. Youqin made a prescription, then she turned around to grab medical ingredients from the cabinets. Luo Yi took note of each and every ingredient that Youqin took. When Youqin opened the drawer of honeysuckle flowers, Luo Yi said loudly and clearly: “To treat troubled digestion and a cold, clearance and expression is needed. There ought to be great aid in digestion and sweat. This prescription of yours is a little too gentle. This da-jie works in the fields throughout the years; she has a stocky build. Honeysuckle flowers are gentle in nature, its effectiveness would be too slow...” Youqin’s hand paused over the herbs. Seeing that Youqin was still not moving, Luo Yi shook her head: “If I was making the prescription, I would use ephedrae instead.” Youqin’s eyes lit up. She grabbed some ephedrae, then she packed up the medicine. She gave a few instructions to the housewife, then she sent her away. Youqin opened her mouth, but Luo Yi waved dismissively as if she already knew what she was about to say. After some thinking, she took out a red iron token from her chest. She gave it to
